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

Qi, the Minister of Personnel, is one of them.

Pinxianglou is a very famous teahouse in Luojing, and also a place of entertainment for many noble ladies in Luojing.

Arrived at Pinxianglou.

Ji Lanshuang walked slowly into the box with the help of the servants.

Her mind and eyes were full of the good friend she was about to meet, so naturally she didn't notice the person who came out from the corner and stared at her.

It was purely accidental that Prince Yun came to Pinxiang Tower today.

Just because he heard a rumor last night that the Ministry of Justice had arrested a few bandits who were suspected to have not been completely eliminated before, he came to Pinxianglou to meet with Su Qishun.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, he met a woman who was so similar to his first wife in figure and temperament.

The moment he saw the woman appear, he was irresistibly attracted by her temperament.

The weak willow swaying in the wind is resilient, and every move is like an old friend...

He ordered one of the guards beside him, "Go ask, who is the woman who just entered the box from?"

The guards took orders and retreated silently.

Prince Yun thought for a moment, then asked another guard to ask the shopkeeper for a new private room.

Not long after.

The guard returned to Prince Yun's box and leaned over to whisper something in his ear.

"Su Kang's first wife?"

Prince Yun was stunned at first, then he sneered, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"What about Su Kang's wife?"

There is no woman he cannot get if he sets his eyes on her.

Thinking of the figure that haunted his dreams, Prince Yun's eyes flashed with a determination to obtain the figure.

...

Dingbei Palace.

Mu Xiaoxiao knew that her son had climbed over the wall with his future daughter-in-law in the middle of the night last night, and she was trying hard to go out and see her.

I just happened to run into my future daughter-in-law.

The two met each other unexpectedly, and she was a little at a loss as to what to do.

However, after seeing Mu Xiaoxiao, Su Sui'an bowed to her gracefully, as if they had just met for the first time.

"Sui'an meets the princess."

Mu Xiaoxiao's expression changed in an instant. She straightened her back and acted like a princess. "No need to be polite."

After a brief greeting, the two stared at each other and fell into an eerie silence again.

Su Sui'an was embarrassed to pass Mu Xiaoxiao, as he saw that Mu Xiaoxiao had no intention of leaving.

She could only laugh dryly and asked, "Princess, are you going out?"

"Ah? Ah, me, I am..."

Mu Xiaoxiao kept saying "yes" for a long time but couldn't come up with any reason.

She couldn't tell Su Sui'an that she had planned to go out and meet her by chance to apply eye drops to her son...

From the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw Liu'er behind Su Sui'an, who was also bringing a gift.

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled and changed the subject, "What about you? What are you doing here? To see my Rong'er so early in the morning?"

The smile on her face was too exaggerated, and the crow's feet at the corners of Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes were almost enough to pinch a mosquito to death.

Thinking of his failed push yesterday, Su Sui'an couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Her gaze wandered, and finally landed on Mu Xiaoxiao's shoulder. She smiled and said, "I heard that the prince was stabbed and seriously injured yesterday. Father and mother are very worried, so they sent Sui'an to visit him."

There was an imperial decree granting marriage between the two.

It makes sense to come and visit.

Thinking of this, Su Sui'an straightened his back a little more.

The moment Mu Xiaoxiao heard that Fu Jingrong was injured last night, her smile obviously twisted.

But because Su Sui'an was still there, she couldn't get angry.

I could only pretend to know and nod with satisfaction.

"An'er is thoughtful."

As soon as she called him that, she seemed to realize that something was wrong. She quickly took Su Sui'an's hand and asked for his opinion, "When you marry Rong'er, you will be my daughter. I wonder if it's okay for me to call you An'er in advance?"

Her smile was kind and her tone was calm and dignified when she spoke, without any of the petty-mindedness that she had shown in front of others when she rescued Ji Lanshuang that day.

Without waiting for Sui An to speak, Ji Lanshuang spoke again, "Our family has just returned to Luojing, and there are not many families we can talk to. It's rare that you and I hit it off right away. How about you come to my place for lunch after meeting Rong'er before going back?"

Even though he knew that Princess Dingbei was Mrs. Rong, even though he knew that Princess Dingbei had no ill will towards him.

Su Sui'an couldn't help but get goosebumps...

The smiling face is almost frozen into a mask.

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but..."

"Okay, don't say buts," Mu Xiaoxiao patted Su Sui'an's hand, and neatly took off the green jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Su Sui'an's hand, "I am very satisfied with you as my daughter-in-law. We met in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts, so I will give you this bracelet given by the Queen.

Let's make it a deal. You will have lunch at the palace. Our chef from Yancheng will arrive today. We can let you taste the food from Yancheng and see if it is different from that in Luojing. If it doesn't suit your taste, I will ask them to change it. You will be the hostess of my Dingbei Palace in the future. All preferences will be based on your preferences. I want you to live in the palace just like living in your own home."

After all this, Su Sui'an didn't have a chance to speak, and Mu Xiaoxiao even gave him a gift...

Some things can be done once but not three times.

After two fruitless refusals, Su Sui'an couldn't resist Mu Xiaoxiao's enthusiasm, so she had to accept the gift from Mu Xiaoxiao.

The two exchanged a few meaningless pleasantries before Su Sui'an was "let go" and went straight to Fu Jingrong's yard.

Su Sui'an had recuperated in the side courtyard of the Dingbei Palace before, so almost all of Fu Jingrong's confidants in the Dingbei Palace knew of Su Sui'an's existence.

Led by the maid, she and Liu'er had a smooth journey.

When they were about to reach Fu Jingrong's residence, the maid who led the way respectfully knelt down and bowed to Su Sui'an, saying goodbye before leaving.

Liu Er asked in a low voice from behind Su Sui'an, "Miss, I feel like the Princess Dingbei looks familiar. Have you seen her somewhere?"

When Mu Xiaoxiao was at Su's house, Liu'er would spend almost all her free time with her to inquire about all kinds of eye-opening anecdotes around them.

Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Liu'er could recognize Mu Xiaoxiao.

Poor Mu Xiaoxiao, she always thought her acting skills were perfect and no one could find out...

In fact, the mask she tried so hard to cover up had already been stripped off inadvertently.

Su Sui'an smiled and said, "Maybe people are similar."

"That's true." Liu'er agreed and didn't take the matter to heart anymore.

After all, didn’t the eldest daughter in the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion look similar to the Marquis?

The two of them asked and answered each other, and soon arrived at Fu Jingrong's yard.

Yi Zhi had already been waiting in front of the courtyard gate.

"Miss Su, the master has been waiting for a long time, please."

This was the first time Su Sui'an set foot in Fu Jingrong's yard.

In Su Sui'an's understanding of a men's residential courtyard, a men's courtyard should be decorated with green pines or bamboos. At the very least, there would be a few pots of orchids to show off the elegance.

But Fu Jingrong's yard is flat.

Apart from a fairly lush crooked tree at the base of the yard wall, there are basically no other green plants.

Rather than saying that this is a yard, it looks more like a martial arts training ground with residences.

"Miss Su, the prince is unable to get up right now, so you'll have to go in and see him in person."

At times like this, the benefits of an arranged marriage are clearly demonstrated.

As an engaged couple, Su Sui'an was allowed to openly enter Fu Jingrong's bedroom as long as servants were present.

Moreover, the attitude of changing the flag was respectful, which Su Sui'an appreciated very much.

"it is good."

Liu'er wanted to follow but was stopped by Yi Zhi.

"Liu'er, wait for me here."

Su Sui'an stopped and turned around to give instructions.

Seeing that her master had spoken, even if Liu'er didn't want to wait, she had no choice but to obey.

"Yes."

The layout of Fu Jingrong's courtyard was not complicated, so Su Sui'an quickly found his dormitory.

She originally thought that if someone could decorate his yard like a martial arts training ground, his dormitory would definitely be very primitive as well.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she pushed the door open and entered the room, the fresh fragrance in the room instantly enveloped her tightly.

Successfully covered up the smell of medicine in the air.

Fu Jingrong probably knew that he couldn't hide anything from Su Sui'an, so he simply didn't force himself to sit up and just lay on the bed with his underwear on, his face pale.
