On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hemming and hawing? If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, get out and don't get in the way here."

Murong Qi looked at Zhuang Zhou with disdain and brought the teacup to his lips disapprovingly.

"...Commander Yi said that if the prince does not send someone to inform you tonight, you should bring people to the Su Mansion to 'rob the bride' tomorrow."

"puff!!"

The tea that Murong Qi drank came out of his mouth and his nose was filled with water. He coughed violently several times before he came to his senses.

"Bride-stealing?"

"Who do you want to rob, Your Highness?"

Facing Zhuang Zhou's face that was about to cry, Murong Qi refused without a second thought, "No, no, I won't agree."

Isn't this nonsense?

Thinking about the consequences he might encounter if he agreed to his cousin's nonsense, Murong Qi felt that the emerald green and watery ring on his hand was no longer beautiful.

"Please help me return this thing to Yi Zhi..."

"I wonder what His Highness the Ninth Prince wants to bring to Yi Zhi? Can I do it for him?"

Before Murong Qi could finish his words, an agile figure landed lightly outside the window.

The visitor smiled and bowed to Murong Qi.

"Your Majesty Ninth Prince."

"Yi Fan?" Murong Qi was very surprised, "Why is it you?"

Hasn't this kid been hiding in the dark in various disguises?

"Yi Zhi has other things to do, so I am here to convey a message to my master." The smile on Yi Fan's face did not change.

"Take a message..." Murong Qi's eyes lit up, "Does that mean we don't have to go to the Su Mansion to 'rob the bride'?"

This seems to be what Zhuang Zhou meant just now.

Now that my cousin's people are here, the plan must have changed.

You don't have to do anything that will cost your life, and you can get a precious ring for free...

"The master said that the location has been changed, and asked you to go to the house at the end of Sanfan Hutong to snatch the person."

"what?"

...

Sanfan Hutong is located at the very edge of Luojing City and is a gathering place for merchants to buy property.

However, since it is located in Luojing City, there are strict regulations on the specifications and structure of the house.

The maximum number of courtyards in a house shall not exceed four.

During construction, blue bricks could not be used, only bricks made of red mud could be used. The walls could not be painted vermilion, but could only be pasted with a uniform mortar. Even the direction of the gate's opening had strict regulations, and the gate could only be made of ordinary solid wood at most. It was not allowed to embed rivets in the door.

Due to regulatory reasons, the houses in Sanfan Hutong are generally divided into small four-story houses, small three-story houses, small two-story houses, and single houses according to their size.

Even so, this seemingly shabby alley is still almost full of people.

At the end of Sanfan Hutong, a small gray two-story house sits low-key.

That was also the house bought by Ji Chengyi.

Ji Chengyi is Su Sui'an's maternal grandfather.

On weekdays, it seemed that only Manager Fu lived in the house, and the rest were servants. In fact, those servants were messengers hired by Manager Fu to deliver letters.

At this time, Rong Xian had already been settled in the house by Su Sui'an.

Shopkeeper Fu was smiling and telling Rong Xian to relax and stay.

"Mr. Rong, Miss didn't tell you when to go back, so you can just stay here for now. If you have any questions, you can go to the East Courtyard or to the Changlong Pawn Shop to find me."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Rong Xian curved his eyebrows harmlessly towards Shopkeeper Fu.

After watching Manager Fu leave, Rong Xian's smile faded.

This night is destined to be a busy and sleepless night for everyone.

The bright moon sets in the west.

Rong Xian was not sleepy at all, so he got up, put on his clothes and got out of bed.

When Yi Zhi came back from outside, he saw his master looking at the moon with a distracted look. Just as he was about to turn around and leave quietly, he was stopped by Rong Xian.

"Did she find anything unusual?"

Yi Zhi turned around and stopped.

He turned around again and bowed his head respectfully.

"No, after returning home, Miss Su just asked her servant Liu'er to tell Madam Deng about this and then went to bed. In addition, Miss Su also asked her servant Mei'er to prepare two rare books by famous scholars. I guess she was planning to visit someone."

At this time, Rong Xian didn't need to guess whose house Su Sui'an was going to visit.

Having made up his mind, he did not ask any more questions.

But the more he thought about this, the more he began to doubt whether what he did tonight was right or wrong.

Looking at Yi Zhi again, he saw that Rong Xian looked worried after listening to his report, so he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Master, since you have already achieved the desired result, why are you still so unhappy?"

Desired outcome?

Rong Xian smiled bitterly.

"That's not the result I wanted."

There was a flash of confusion in Yi Zhi's eyes, as if he didn't understand what his master was saying.

Perhaps it was because he had too many things on his mind after he came back, or perhaps it was because he saw loyal guards die tragically in front of him in his previous life, but now Rong Xian is more tolerant of Yi Zhi and Yi Fan, and is willing to open his heart to these two loyal subordinates.

"It seems like she agreed to me on impulse tonight, but in fact, no one knows better than me why she agreed to me."

Ever since he gave her the Calming Gel, no, it should be since he was reborn, he found the Ruyi Gu and kept it by his side, waiting for the opportunity tonight.

The gel is mixed with the colorless and odorless Ruyi Gu Yin Gu.

He carried with him the Yang Gu sealed in a wax pill.

Taking advantage of the crowded crowd tonight, he took out the Yang Gu and crushed it. The mixture of the two would produce a strange fragrance. Those who inhaled the strange fragrance could do as the Gu caster wished and take the initiative to express what the Gu caster wanted.

In other words, her impulse tonight was entirely due to Ruyi Gu, not her own choice...

Thinking of this, Rong Xian sighed.

"Yizhi, I used the Ruyi Gu to make her impulsively promise to me for life. Isn't that despicable?"

A question that could not possibly be asked by Rong Xian suddenly came out, and Yi Zhi was stunned for a moment.

"Why does the master have such an idea?"

For a moment, Yi Zhi even suspected that the unconfident man in front of him was impersonating his master in disguise.

Rong Xian did not answer Yi Zhi, but continued to smile bitterly, "My mind tells me that I should wait patiently for her to come to her senses again, but... I can't do it."

He has waited for so many years, and he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Before his rebirth, he prayed to the gods to take away her love and erase her memories of him, just in the hope that she could be happy...

After they met again, he was thankful countless times that his longing for her was silent, so that he could stay by her side silently without disturbing her.

But every time he passed by her and saw that she treated him no differently than ordinary people, he couldn't help but secretly hate why he missed her silently?

She can live so freely after being reborn, but he can only suffer from single thoughts in the dark?

"Master, I don't agree with your idea." Yi Zhi frowned.

"In my mind, you are the prince of Dingbei, with an extremely noble status. You can marry any woman you want in the whole Yuan Dynasty. To put it bluntly, as long as you are willing to reveal your status and declare that you want to marry Miss Su, Miss Su will not dare to refuse to marry you. Why do you have to be so humble in front of Miss Su with such a humble status?"
