Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

Yun Ran and Hei Zha finished speaking hurriedly and turned to the old lady.

"Grandma, Ran'er has already greeted you. Ran'er has something else to do in the yard, so I'll go back first."

After Yun Ran finished speaking, she leaned over and saluted the old lady. Without waiting for the old lady to ask her to get up, she turned around and left.

The old lady's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and after a while she retracted it. Looking at Yun Ran walking further and further away, the old lady whispered to herself.

"Ran'er, grandma knows that you like that white jade tea set. You glanced at it more than three times. I wanted to have someone pack it up for you to take away, but you left in such a hurry. Let's talk about it next time we have a chance."

Yun Ran, who had already walked out of Fu Shou Yuan, had no idea that she had missed her favorite tea set because of her hasty departure.

Yun Ran returned to Xinyue Courtyard and asked Qiao'er to pack for her as she had to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She has to go back, after all, she is already engaged.

It is better for a girl's lifelong affairs to be arranged by her parents. Although she will marry the third prince and will most likely marry from Prince An's Mansion, the fact that the Prime Minister and his wife are her biological parents cannot be changed. She still has to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and tell her parents so that they can prepare well.

After all, she had heard about it.

The prince's wedding not only has complicated etiquette and rituals, but she doesn't understand the court etiquette and needs a nanny in the palace to give her a crash course before the wedding.

This matter could only be handled by asking Daddy back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, because she didn't want the people in Prince An's Mansion to know that she had never been to the palace and didn't even know the most basic court etiquette. She didn't want to see expressions of contempt for her from the people in Prince An's Mansion, so she could only ask Daddy to step in.

Another point is that when she marries the third prince, her dowry cannot be small.

Although the old lady had promised to give her a dowry, she couldn't put all her hopes on the old lady's dowry.

She couldn't believe how generous the dowry the old lady prepared for her was.

Of course, even if the old lady did not treat her unfairly and did prepare a generous dowry for her, it would still be far from enough.

What she wanted was a dowry of ten miles of red makeup, and she wanted all the unmarried or married women in the capital to envy her. Not only would she have a husband as powerful and handsome as the Third Prince, but she would also have a dowry that she could not spend in her lifetime. The ten miles of red makeup was her confidence in her husband's family.

Thinking of this, Yun Ran became more and more eager to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. She couldn't wait any longer and wanted to tell her parents the good news immediately.

"Qiao'er, are you done packing?"

"Miss, it's all done."

"Okay, we'll go back now, and Lubi will follow."

"Yes, ma'am."

As soon as Yun Ran walked out of the gate of Prince An's mansion, Prince An knew the news.

He waved to the secret guard who came to report the news.

"Continue to monitor Yun Ran's every move."

"Yes."

Yun Ran didn't know that all her actions in the palace had not escaped Prince An's eyes.

Yun Ran was extremely happy at this time. The journey back to the Prime Minister's Mansion was smooth and nothing happened.

However, halfway through the journey, Lubi casually said that the walnut cakes smelled delicious, so Yun Ran directly told Lubi to go and queue up to buy walnut cakes for her.

Yun Ran continued to take Qiao'er and a maid back to the prime minister's residence, and Lu Bi was out of Yun Ran's sight.

But Lu Bi did not go to the shop selling walnut cakes, but turned a corner and walked in the opposite direction.

Half a minute later, Lu Bi stood outside Xie Ruiyuan's study.

"Your Majesty, your subordinate Lubi wants to see you for something."

When Xie Ruiyuan heard Lu Bi's voice, he carefully closed the album in his hand and said, "Come in."

After getting permission, Lu Bi opened the door and walked into the study. When she saw the prince sitting in the main seat, she immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Without waiting for Xie Ruiyuan to ask any questions, Lu Bi started reporting.

"Your Majesty, the old lady of Prince An's Mansion has agreed to your marriage with Yun Ran."

"What do you mean? Say it again."

Lubi repeated it again.

This time Xie Ruiyuan confirmed that he had heard correctly, and he did not doubt what Lu Bi said.

Generally speaking, Lu Bi is under the management of Qing Xuan. If there is any matter, Lu Bi will report to Qing Xuan first. Qing Xuan will then prioritize the matters and report the urgent and important matters to him. Qing Xuan will handle the unimportant and non-urgent matters on his own.

But this time, Lu Bi came directly to him. Although it was because he sent Qing Xuan away and he was not in the capital, there was another point, that is, what Lu Bi said was very important, forcing Lu Bi to find him.

But what he didn't expect was that Lu Bi would say something that surprised him.

Although his marriage with A Yue was already out in the open, if one were to investigate it, it could be considered a concealment.

After all, he asked the senior family to carry the betrothal gifts to Prince An's Mansion and announced his marriage to Prince An's cousin, but did not reveal the cousin's name. People in the capital speculated that it was Shen Yu, who came to Prince An's Mansion last year to recognize his relatives.

But later, Shen Yu was driven out of Prince An's Mansion. Not only did many common people see it with their own eyes, but even servants of some high-ranking officials saw it and ruled out Shen Yu.

Yun Ran went through Li's connections again and entered Prince An's Mansion. Originally, he was not going to intervene, because Yun Ran was Li's adopted daughter and had been cruel to A Yue.

If A Yue had not met him, he couldn't imagine what serious consequences would have occurred. He might have died of the poison long ago, let alone seeing the birth of four babies with his own eyes.

But before he could free up his hands to deal with Yun Ran, Yun Ran actually dared to enter Prince An's Mansion and harm Li.

That would be fine, since it was Li who agreed to it herself. Even if he wanted to marry Li's daughter in the near future, he couldn't interfere and make the decision for Li. But he wouldn't really let Yun Ran run wild in Prince An's Mansion.

After Lu Bi finished speaking, the prince looked calm, and she felt uneasy, because she knew that her prince was angry.

Because the calmer his prince was when he was angry, the angrier he became.

She didn't want to go up and get into trouble, so she stood there patiently.

When Xie Ruiyuan first heard what Lu Bi said, he did have the urge to destroy the world, but now he has calmed down. Based on his understanding of the old lady in Prince An's Mansion, she would never do such a foolish thing, which means that there is a hidden story behind this.

"Lübi, repeat the conversation between the old lady and Yun Ran word for word."

"Yes."

Then Lu Bi brought Yun Ran into Fu Shou Yuan and told her every word she said and the subtle expressions on her face. She also told her every reaction from the old lady when she saw Yun Ran to her change of attitude towards Yun Ran, and finally she told her own guess.
