Su Yunling finally met Fu Wanshu in Baicaotang. After more than a year of not seeing each other, both girls were surprised to find that the other seemed to have become more beautiful.

They held hands and went up to the second floor, where they sat down and chatted while drinking tea.

From talking about store management to all the interesting things happening around each other... when people with similar personalities get together, there are endless topics to talk about.

Finally, Su Yunling talked about Fu Wanshu's major life event again. Fu Wanshu believed that it would be difficult for a girl like her, who was carried back to her parents' home on the first day of her marriage, to remarry, and she didn't want to marry again.

Su Yunling knew that she said this not because she didn't want to get married again, but because she didn't want to make people around her worry about getting married.

Su Yunling grabbed her hand and said sincerely, "Leave this to me. I have already found a perfect husband for you. You two are a perfect match."

Fu Wanshu looked at her serious expression and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Was Su Yunling deliberately trying to be a matchmaker?

After the two of them carefully handed over Baicaotang's accounts for more than a year, it was already time for lunch. Su Yunling sent someone to pick up her cousin Xu Miaoyu, and the three of them went to Fengyue Tower to eat together.

Fu Wanshu booked the Tianzihao private room on the third floor and ordered the latest dishes from Fengyue Tower.

The three of them ate and chatted. Ever since Xu Miaoyu's divorce, her ex-husband, who had joined the army, saw that she had not remarried and thought that she still had feelings for him, so he came to her several times to ask for reconciliation.

Xu Miaoyu was so annoyed that she finally decided to follow her mother's arrangement and renegotiate the marriage.

The man was a fourth-rank civil servant, upright, gentle, and devoted in love. He could be considered a former disciple of my grandfather Xu Hantang.

The man was three years older than Xu Miaoyu. He had been married before, but unfortunately his wife suffered from hemorrhage during childbirth, and both his wife and child died.

He was immersed in the pain of losing his wife and son, so he never remarried. He also had no concubines, which showed that he was a man of loyalty and loyalty.

This time someone came to him for matchmaking. When he learned that the person he was talking about was his teacher's granddaughter, he did not refuse decisively. Instead, he took the initiative to visit the Xu family with gifts.

The two of them looked at each other from afar across the screen, and he actually felt as if seeing an old friend for the first time, and that this meeting was better than any other in the world.

From that day on, after he was done working at the yamen, he would often go to the Xu's house to play chess and drink tea with Xu Handang, who had retired from the government. Some things did not need to be said out loud; everyone could understand.

He has taken a fancy to Xu Miaoyu.

At first Xu Miaoyu was repulsed, especially after she saw that the man was not only handsome but also elegant and well-mannered, she felt even more that she was not worthy of him.

Until one day, when she was harassed by her ex-husband again, that man happened to come to her rescue, and she heard him clearly express his feelings, and then she was shaken.

Su Yunling saw Xu Miaoyu's shy look when she mentioned her crush, and couldn't help but tease:

"Cousin, you keep talking about that person, who is that person?"

Xu Miaoyu's cheeks were burning hot, and her eyes were drooping with trembling eyelashes. "His name is Duan Shicheng."

"Hehe, it turns out to be Mr. Duan."

"Seung-rang is also fine."

"Oh, don't make fun of me..."

The three girls played around in the private room for a while. After eating and drinking, Su Yunling accompanied Xu Miaoyu back to Xu's house, while Fu Wanshu, dressed in men's clothes, went to inspect other shops.

Ever since she used the money from her business to protect her entire family, her family no longer objects to her continuing to do business. They just remind her to protect herself when she goes out.

When she returned home after searching for shops, it was already late. As she was hurrying back, she looked up and saw the peregrine falcon that Su Yunling had left with her to deliver messages for the two of them.

All things have spirits. After more than a year of living together, the peregrine falcon has regarded her as a family member and often follows her silently.

Fu Wanshu never treated it badly and always fed it with the best meat.

Just as she was thinking about whether to feed it beef or mutton, she suddenly heard a shout: "It's here, don't let it run away--"

Hearing the sound, she saw two nimble men in tight clothes flipping in the air in front of her, soaring into the sky, and spreading a net directly towards the peregrine falcon.

Fu Wanshu was shocked: "Run as fast as lightning!"

Lightning was the name she gave to the peregrine falcon. Although she didn't know why they wanted to catch it, she almost subconsciously wanted it to escape.

And the lightning did not disappoint her. Before the fishing net touched it, it flapped its wings and flew away.

The speed and sharp reaction are simply astonishing.

"My dear, may I ask what bird is..."

"Why did you catch it?"

The two voices sounded almost at the same time.

When Fu Wanshu turned around, he saw a noble and elegant man with extraordinary clothes and good looks.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but frown as he looked at the petite boy in front of him who was more than a head shorter than him.

She is so pretty and fair, she looks more like a beautiful girl.

Seeing that he was staring at her, Fu Wanshu immediately became alert and turned around to leave.

"Brother, please stay." Xiao Mu stepped forward and bowed.

"What can I do for you?" Fu Wanshu asked in a cold voice.

"From what you said, brother, is that falcon yours?"

"Yes."

Xiao Mu's eyes lit up, "Brother, did you also hatch the eggs and tame them yourself?"

Fu Wanshu frowned. How could such a handsome and elegant young man be such a fool?

She turned and left.

In a moment of desperation, Xiao Mu reached out and grabbed her wrist. The moment he held it, he was shocked: What a thin wrist! How can a man be of great use with such a thin wrist?

He suddenly felt something was wrong, but unexpectedly he was slapped in the face the next moment.

"Pa——" Fu Wanshu stared at him, his palms feeling hot.

"lecher!"

Xiao Mu: “…”

"Your Highness, are you okay?" The accompanying guards immediately stepped forward to protect their master.

Fu Wanshu was shocked, Prince?

Is he a prince? The current emperor has only conferred the title of prince on two people, one of whom is the eldest son Xiao Jichen, whom she had seen when she sent Su Yunling to Yanbei.

This one is the second son Xiao Mu, also known as Prince Ning!

"I am here to see His Royal Highness Prince Ning. I apologize for any offense I have caused you."

Fu Wanshu immediately knelt down and paid her respects. She didn't want to provoke such a big shot and bring herself unnecessary disaster.

After several years of experience in the business world, she is well aware of the principle of being able to bend and stretch.

Xiao Mu never put on airs when he went out, so he immediately asked her to stand up and explained his intention directly: he wanted to pay a large sum of money to buy her falcon.

"I wonder if you can give up your love?"

"I won't sell it!" Fu Wanshu was still trying to pretend to be nice, but he couldn't stop talking.

Seeing that Xiao Mu seemed to be in a bad mood, in order to prevent him from getting angry because of being insulted, she did not forget to explain:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This falcon was given to me by a nobleman. It is difficult for me to decide for myself."

"Noble?"

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty must know her. That noble lady is none other than the Princess of Jin..." Fortunately, Su Yunling was there to back her up, otherwise she really couldn't afford to offend this gentleman.

Xiao Mu looked surprised. After going around in circles, he still had to ask his sister-in-law for advice.

Seeing that he was silent, Fu Wanshu took the opportunity to get away, "I'll take my leave now."

Xiao Mu frowned. Why would his sister-in-law give a falcon to a pale-faced scholar?

What is their relationship?
