Xiao Yue was not angry or unhappy about this matter. She walked to Lu Yan's side, stood side by side with her, and looked in the direction where Jiang Suining's carriage left.

"I'm going to ask you a truthful question. What do you think they will choose?"

"Sui Ning has always been sober and rational. He should not be threatened by Prince Su to do something wrong. But A Yao..."

She didn't mean to doubt A Yao, but based on her understanding of A Yao, she couldn't make a completely firm judgment under the current circumstances.

"Like you said just now, even if Wei Yao really chose her husband, it is human nature and there is nothing to criticize."

Xiao Yue paused.

"But I still hope she won't make that choice. After all, if she really stands on Prince Su's side, she will become our enemy."

Lu Yan looked at the empty street in front of her for a long time before she shook her head and spoke.

"No, we will never become enemies."

……

On the other side, in the yamen, Wei Yao, who was taking care of Jiang Mushi, was thinking about the two days given by Prince Su, and her whole mind was absent-minded.

Of course, it is not so easy to get the birth dates of those female students.

Although they all registered when they entered the girls' college, most of them only registered their age. There was no need to write down information such as birth date.

If one wants to collect the birth dates of all the female students within two days, there will definitely be a lot of commotion.

But she knew there was a place where there were many birth dates of female students.

Previously, Zhong Xingyun drugged Zhong Yixiu and made her go crazy in public, and then used this to slander the Women's Academy, saying that it was ominous and could cause people to be possessed by evil spirits.

Many of the female students and their parents, whether they left or stayed, were worried about them, so they went to temples to pray or consult fortune-tellers, hoping to see if they were also affected by the women's academy and whether they would be possessed by evil spirits.

During that period, the fortune-telling stalls in the city were doing particularly well.

Many female students chose to go there for fortune-telling. Some who were afraid to go out wrote down their birth dates and sent them over.

I heard that the owner of the fortune-telling stall with the most prosperous business took the opportunity to secretly record the birth dates of many women, including their names and home addresses, when he was fortune-telling, and sold them privately to make a profit.

She still remembered that she was very surprised when Ah Yan mentioned it, and she didn't understand why those birth dates and horoscopes could still be sold.

But A-Yan told her that many families pay great attention to whether the horoscopes are compatible when choosing a daughter-in-law, and always want to find the one who will bring the best luck to the husband.

However, things like birth dates and horoscopes are only exchanged after the man finds someone to propose marriage and the woman agrees, to see if they are compatible.

Although if there is too much conflict between the two parties, the engagement will be cancelled, but under normal circumstances, as long as there is no conflict between the two parties, the marriage can be carried out smoothly.

Therefore, even those wealthy families cannot go door to door to propose marriage and then find the most suitable birth date and horoscope, let alone those ordinary families.

Therefore, gradually, some people tried to get the women's birth dates and then sell them for money.

Some men’s families will buy it and then ask someone to calculate it, and then choose the most suitable one to propose marriage.

At that time, she just thought it was ridiculous, but now she is somewhat fortunate that she can collect a wave of birth characters in this way.

After making up her mind, Wei Yao did not delay.

The next day, she paid someone to inquire about the way, and then bought a lot of birth data.

Wei Yao picked out those that belonged to female students and burned all the rest.

However, when she sent the birth data to Prince Su's Mansion, Prince Su did not buy it.

"I know very well how you got these birth data. It is too easy to exchange them for a life-saving antidote just by spending some money."

"Prince Su, are you planning to go back on your word?" Wei Yao clenched her fists, digging her nails into her palms.

Having not had a good rest for several nights in a row, Wei Yao's eyes were red and she looked haggard, staring at Prince Su.

Prince Su looked at Wei Yao like this, was silent for a moment, and threw a small porcelain bottle at her.

Wei Yao was startled and hurriedly reached out to catch it, fearing that it would drop to the ground if she didn't hold it firmly.

"Is this the antidote?"

"No."

The hope that had just emerged on Wei Yao's face was shattered by these two words, and she looked at Prince Su angrily again.

"But the medicine in here can temporarily relieve the toxicity and ensure that your husband's health will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yao clenched the medicine bottle in her hand, "Where's the antidote? When will it be given to me?"

"Of course, I will wait until the female official shows complete sincerity." Prince Su flipped through the pages of birth records in his hand. "If you only bought these with money, it will not be enough for me to hand over the antidote."

"If we want to get the remaining birth dates, there will definitely be a commotion, and Sui Ning and the others will definitely know about it..."

"So what?" Prince Su interrupted Wei Yao nonchalantly, "Jiang Suining already knows my intentions, there is nothing to hide, and you are just worried about not wanting them to know this."

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that this matter will become a hot topic and eventually reach the ears of the Emperor and all the people in the Imperial City, and they will suspect your intentions?"

"I will explain to the emperor, and you don't need to worry about the rest." Prince Su's expression turned colder, and he reminded her faintly, "You still have one day. If I were you, you would go to the Women's Academy right now and trick or force them to bring the remaining birth dates and horoscopes over."

Wei Yao looked at Prince Su in confusion, not missing any expression on his face, but she didn't see anything.

The hand holding the porcelain bottle trembled slightly, Wei Yao finally lost her temper and turned away.

"Madam Wei, remember this, you only have one day."

Wei Yao paused, but soon walked out again.

Prince Su's gaze shifted from Wei Yao's back to the sky outside.

The sky was low and dark clouds were gathering.

"These past few days have been really gloomy and disgusting."

Butler Wu heard that his prince seemed to be talking about more than just the weather. He glanced at the sky outside, thought for a moment, and spoke carefully.

"Your Majesty, it looks like it's going to rain today."

It's been cloudy for a few days, and I don't know why it hasn't rained yet.

"It's good to rain, please come soon."

Prince Su leaned lazily on the back of his chair, with a complicated smile in his eyes. He seemed to be talking to Butler Wu, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

"After a heavy rain, it should be clear again. I am looking forward to the good weather ahead."
