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

Because the two of them have a close relationship, Ji Lanshuang has now unconsciously called out Mu Xiaoxiao's nickname.

Mu Xiaoxiao was seen pitifully tuck away the non-existent tears at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, sighing, looking as if she was unable to speak.

"Actually, my brother and I are living here now, and we can be considered as fleeing. Originally, family disgrace should not be spread outside, but Lan Shuang, you are really too good to us siblings. I am very conflicted now. It seems that no one can help us except you, but we don't want to implicate you..."

In Ji Lan's eyes, almost everyone else in the Su Mansion, including Rong Xian's "sister and brother", knew their true identities.

The escape was so severe that "Mrs. Rong" said the word "involved". I'm afraid the person these two people offended is not simple.

Thinking of this, Ji Lanshuang couldn't help but feel regretful.

To be honest, Ji Lanshuang didn't want to cause trouble for Su Sui'an and his sister.

Can...

She had already made her promise to Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao also planned to tell the whole story.

Reject at this time...

She seems hypocritical and disloyal...

While Ji Lanshuang was struggling, she heard Mu Xiaoxiao starting to explain the whole story.

"In the final analysis, it's all my fault...my damn brother-in-law. If he hadn't kicked me...out of the house, the things that happened later wouldn't have happened..."

As if she couldn't see the forced smile on Ji Lanshuang's face, Mu Xiaoxiao simply pulled the small embroidered cushion and sat in front of Ji Lanshuang, leaning forward slightly, with an expression as if "this is a very important matter".

"Ninth Prince, do you know?"

Ninth Prince?

Could it be that what was spread among the servants was true?

At this time, Ji Lanshuang's mind was as confused as a ball of paste.

Meeting Mu Xiaoxiao's lively eyes that were full of desire for recognition, she could only turn her eyes away guiltily and responded vaguely.

"know."

How could you not know?

They were able to leave the Changping Marquis Mansion so smoothly this time, and the help of the Ninth Prince was definitely indispensable.

Ji Lanshuang even had some guesses in her mind...

"In fact, it was the Ninth Prince who fell in love with my son, but my son refused to obey..."

I didn't expect that "Mrs. Rong" would speak out the so-called "family scandal" so eloquently.

In order to avoid hearing more explosive things, Ji Lanshuang immediately interrupted Mu Xiaoxiao before she continued speaking.

"Ah? What should we do now?"

Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her temples in distress. "For now, I can only find a way to get my useless child married first."

"That's why I came to ask, do you know anyone around you who doesn't need to be too wealthy, as long as they can live a down-to-earth life?"

"Although our family is poor, we have some inheritance. Although we can't say that we have a large number of servants and are rich and powerful, we can still have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives."

As she spoke, she actually took out a thick stack of hemp paper from her sleeve pocket.

The huge words "Land Deed" stand out among the tiny words.

Her action not only frightened Ji Lanshuang, but also shocked Aunt Deng who was standing beside her.

From the layers of stacked papers, a quick glance shows there are at least twenty or thirty of them.

No one expected that this ordinary-looking brother and sister who had to rely on others would suddenly become so wealthy. Not only Aunt Deng, but even Ji Lanshuang began to become more wary.

The fact that they own so many land deeds shows that this brother and sister are not poor...

"Lan Shuang..."

Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao looking at him with hope in her eyes again, Ji Lanshuang felt overwhelmed. He had never hated his "meddling" so much.

"Let me think about it..."

To be fair, Ji Lanshuang understands a lot of principles, but when it comes to putting them into practice, it seems that not all of them are the same.

She had heard many stories that said if there was a military general in a family and he made military achievements, the emperor would grant him marriage, in order to prevent the ministers from having any ulterior motives.

The marriage between her An An and Duke Gu was a done deal, and her husband had also sent a letter back, and was about to enter Luojing...

As she said to her daughter, it was inevitable that the emperor would arrange a marriage for her.

Compared to letting his daughter marry into a mansion full of intrigue and deception, Ji Lanshuang prefers to let his daughter marry a commoner.

This way, if there is anything she wants to help, she can lend a hand.

To put it bluntly, if you marry into a wealthy family, you may have to send a visiting card if you want to see your own daughter.

A person's life is so long...

"Then it's all your fault."

On this side, Ji Lan Shuang was still hesitating about how to stabilize "Sister Rong".

On the other side, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have seen the dawn of hope in Lan Shuang. She held Ji Lanshuang's hand tightly and looked at her with hope in her eyes.

"As long as Lan Shuang helps me this time, I will definitely repay you by working like a cow or a horse in the future."

"...Well...then there's no need to be so exaggerated..." Ji Lanshuang was completely unable to resist.

The address on the title deed accidentally caught her eye and she was startled. She quickly gave a look to Nanny Deng to stop her from going forward and pulling Mu Xiaoxiao down.

"Don't worry, I'm going to punish my useless brother right now. You all have been so helpful. If he dares not to help you wholeheartedly, I will skin him alive."

After saying that, Mu Xiaoxiao happily left without waiting for Ji Lanshuang to respond.

"Ma'am, do we really want to get involved in this mess?"

Ever since Mu Xiaoxiao "overstepped her authority" and stepped forward to hold Ji Lanshuang's hand, Aunt Deng's favorability towards Mu Xiaoxiao began to drop rapidly.

Seeing that she was trying to force her wife to do something, she was even more disapproving, "What are the identities of that 'Sister Rong' and that Rong Xian? How can they have the nerve to ask us to help them?"

Ji Lanshuang's expression had returned to normal by now, but whenever she thought of the address on the title deed, she felt her head buzzing.

Yancheng...

She seemed to have heard Su Kang mention it before. If she remembered correctly, the land over there was all the fiefdom of Dingbei Palace...
