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

For this reason, Mu Xiaoxiao complained about Emperor Ming Qing's empty-handed trick when she was asking Fu Jingrong for credit...

Fu Huai considered that leaving the court for too long would easily lead to changes. When Mu Xiaoxiao "took the initiative to come to him", he was happy to meet Mu Xiaoxiao's request and return to the court...

In this way, everyone is happy.

Thinking about the upcoming wedding date, a hint of warmth flashed across Fu Jingrong's cold eyes.

Hearing Yi Zhi's words, he shook his head firmly, "She will like this wedding gift."

He would let her marry legitimately at the Marquis of Changping's Mansion on the wedding day.

Looking at his master's worthless appearance, Yi Zhi sighed silently.

Until now, he still didn't understand what charm the girl from the Su family had that could make his master so devoted to her.

No matter how confused he is, in Yi Zhi's eyes, as long as his master is happy, that's all that matters.

In order to ensure that everything is safe, Yi Zhi tentatively said, "Then... the government office in the capital..."

Speaking of business, Fu Jingrong's eyes became unusually sharp again.

"Xu Ke should be almost ready. Send someone to help him. List all the evidence that can convict Su Qishun and send it to him."

"Yes."

...

The imperial edict came down quickly, and the wedding date of Fu Jingrong and Su Sui'an was set for August 20th.

It is now June 23rd, in other words, the two governments have less than two months to prepare.

"Miss, it's only been less than a month since you were granted marriage, yet you're in such a hurry to set the wedding date. Could it be that the Prince of Dingbei has some hidden illness and wants to rush to get married to bring good luck?"

After receiving the order and returning to Tingyu Cottage, Liu'er looked worried.

Su Sui'an had been uneasy since she received the imperial edict. It was not until Liu'er asked if the prince of Dingbei had a hidden illness that she woke up from her dream and asked Liu'er, "What?"

Liu Er was caught off guard by the question, "Miss, what are you asking? Are you asking about the hidden illness of Prince Dingbei?"

Su Sui'an: "...Forget it, you can leave first."

"...yes."

Originally, Liu'er wanted to ask Su Sui'an a few more questions about the arranged marriage, but seeing that Su Sui'an was obviously in a bad mood, she hesitated for a moment and did not ask anything, and withdrew respectfully.

Su Sui'an was the only one left in the room.

"Look what I brought you?"

A familiar voice sounded behind me.

The corners of Su Sui'an's mouth rose uncontrollably.

When I turned around, there was no one by the window.

"Is this hallucination?"

Su Sui'an muttered to himself.

Quickly, she shook her head and put the matter behind her.

Compared to Su Sui'an's indifference, Ji Lan Shuang was particularly expectant.

"At the previous thank-you banquet, all kinds of monsters and demons came to interfere. This time, I will never let An'er's thank-you banquet be the same as before."

After receiving the imperial edict, Ji Lanshuang was full of fighting spirit.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that she was "troubled" last time and her "future in-laws" helped her out was enough to make Ji Lanshuang's favor for this "future in-laws" continue to grow.

These days, she has been dedicated to dealing with other noble ladies in order to be able to integrate into the society of noble ladies in Luojing as soon as possible.

This way, when she meets Princess Dingbei later, she won't be unable to get a word in.

Not only did he embarrass his "future in-laws", but he also brought shame to his daughter.

Su Kang couldn't hide his joy when he saw Ji Lanshuang at the side, although he was also very satisfied with the Prince of Dingbei.

But thinking that they were being targeted by Prince Yun, he couldn't help but remind Ji Lanshuang, "Madam, this is still an extraordinary period. You should keep a low profile and don't run around. If you have anything to do, just leave it to the servants."

After a pause, he asked uncertainly, "I seem to have heard Shopkeeper Fu mention it before, is my father-in-law preparing to go to Luojing?"

If Ji Baijun arrived, perhaps he could be of great help in the wedding preparations.

after all...

In the previous life, Prince Yun coveted his wife.

And in this life, Prince Yun is also watching him all the time, and he always has a feeling that Prince Yun will take action against him soon.

"Yes, but it's strange. Before, my father always exchanged letters with me when he was on the road, but recently, his letters have become less and less..."

There was a hint of worry in Ji Lanshuang's tone.

"Manager Fu did say that he had sent people to inquire, but it's been three or four days and there's still no news from there..."

The more Su Kang listened to Ji Lanshuang's words, the more frightened he became.

"...If it doesn't work, I'll ask Madam Deng to go to the pawnshop again..." to ask what the current situation is.

"No need." Before Ji Lanshuang could finish, Su Kang had already grasped her arms tightly with both hands and looked at her seriously, "You don't have to do anything, just stay here."

Perhaps it was because Su Kang's expression was too scary, Ji Lanshuang took a while to come back to her senses, "Master, do you know something? Could it be that father..."

"I'm just worried," Su Kang quickly concealed the solemnity in his eyes and sighed, "Now that An'er has this marriage with the Dingbei Palace, we do seem to be in a very good position, but in fact, it's really a tough situation. If we are not careful, we will get into all kinds of unnecessary troubles..."

After hearing Su Kang's words, Ji Lanshuang finally realized, "So that's why you told me to keep a low profile recently, husband?"

Su Kang nodded, "You stay at home these days. No matter what happens, don't go out. If the situation is really urgent and I'm not with you, go find An'er."

"But An'er is about to..." get married.

"No matter what An'er is like," Su Kang held Ji Lanshuang's shoulders and looked at her solemnly again, "When I'm not around, An'er is the backbone of the family. Before doing anything, you must tell her, understand?"

Ji Lanshuang wanted to laugh at Su Kang for being too nervous, but she couldn't laugh because Su Kang's expression was so serious.

She had no choice but to put away her smile and give Su Kang a positive answer.

"it is good."

Even after getting Ji Lanshuang's affirmative answer, Su Kang still didn't feel relieved.

I have a vague feeling that Prince Yun has something to do with the fact that my father-in-law has been unable to enter the capital.

It turns out.

Su Kang's concerns were correct.

Just a few days after the imperial decree setting the date for Su Sui'an's wedding came down, Su Kang was involved in a case of embezzlement of military pay and was detained in the Ministry of Justice.

Ji Bojun encountered bandits on his way to Luojing. Although he was rescued by soldiers and his life was not in danger for the time being, he could not leave easily...

The backbone of the family was suddenly thrown into prison, and the outside of the house was surrounded by officials from the Ministry of Justice.

Ji Lanshuang was extremely anxious.

"What on earth is going on? How did he get dragged into this? No, I have to go find Lan Xin. Her husband works for the Ministry of Personnel. Maybe she knows some inside information that we don't know."

The Lan Xin that Ji Lanshuang mentioned was none other than Qi, the wife of the Minister of Personnel.

Su Sui'an heard the news and came to Ji Lanshuang's Ruoliyuan. She happened to hear the last sentence. Her face changed slightly and she blurted out to stop him, "Mother, you must not do that."

It was not until she saw Su Sui'an that Ji Lanshuang seemed to have found her backbone again.

"An'er, you're here?" She strode forward, holding Su Sui'an's hands tightly with both hands, trying to draw strength from them.

The look of eagerness to explain everything to Su Sui'an was just like those young people who have experienced all kinds of grievances and can't wait to talk to their elders. "I know your father. He is such a loyal and honest person. How could he..."

"Mother, I know." Su Sui'an held Ji Lanshuang's hand, his eyes were firm, but his tone was very calm. "Don't worry, I won't let Dad get into trouble. Now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. Some things are hard to guard against. The first thing we need to do now is not to panic, but to find out where the military pay issue was exposed."

Only by finding the root cause can we better solve the problem.

besides...

"Now the people from the Ministry of Justice are only guarding outside and have not entered the mansion to search, which means that there is still hope. We need to take advantage of this time to clean up all the unreliable servants in the mansion..."

Ji Lanshuang didn't understand, but Su Sui'an understood.

Someone was helping the Su family, so the people from the Ministry of Justice could only surround the Su family instead of directly entering the house to search.

Otherwise, according to the serious crime of embezzlement of military pay, the Su family’s family members would have been implicated and thrown into prison long ago.
