"Take good care of yourself and don't think about things you shouldn't think about."

Emperor Wen Jin left after saying this.

Concubine Shu knelt in panic to see the emperor off. After he had gone far away, she was surprised to find that her palms were full of cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Aunt Li saw that Concubine Shu looked very bad, and hurried forward to support her.

"I, I'm fine!" Concubine Shu shook her head and sat back in the chair.

Seeing that she kept saying "I'm fine" many times, Aunt Li immediately ordered the palace maid to make a cup of calming tea.

"Your Majesty, actually Prince Rui and Fourth Miss Su met another person by the Imperial Lake today." Nanny Li felt that she should tell Concubine Shu what Master Kongru said.

"Who is it?" asked Concubine Shu.

"Master Kongru!" Aunt Li said, and repeated what Master Kongru said, and finally said:

"I didn't believe what Master Kongru said at first. After all, the theory of fate is quite fictitious. But now it seems that I think it might be true."

"Your Highness Prince Rui only walked with Miss Su Si for a short distance, but he fell into the water for unknown reasons and developed a hidden illness. Apart from being cursed by Miss Su Si, who has a tough life, I really can't think of any other reason."

When Concubine Shu heard what Aunt Li said, she was shocked!

Is this really Su Qingwan’s fate?

If she really had a bad fate and brought bad luck to her own son, then if this marriage went ahead, wouldn't it harm Zixuan?

"Your Majesty..." Aunt Li couldn't help but call out when she saw that Concubine Shu hadn't spoken.

"I understand. I will take care of this matter. Let's first take care of King Rui's health."

There was a voice in Concubine Shu's heart telling her to arrange to cancel the engagement immediately, but the Prince Yi's Mansion behind Su Qingwan held military power, and she was reluctant to do so!

In the court today, is there anyone as powerful as Prince Yi's Mansion?

It is true that the Jiang Guogong Mansion also had a military background, but their legitimate daughter had already been betrothed to the Crown Prince as his consort, so how could they allow another daughter to marry another prince?

For a moment, Concubine Shu felt a terrible headache.

Jiang, who followed the old princess back to Prince Yi's Mansion, also had a headache.

When they came back, they got on the same carriage and on the way asked Su Qingwan what had happened in the palace.

Su Qingwan then told the whole story, even telling him about her encounter with Master Kongru.

But just as she finished saying what Master Kongru said about her having a tough life, the old princess started cursing.

Chen was not polite and called him an old bald donkey.

When Su Qingwan saw Chen's appearance, she could no longer remember that she was also a woman from a wealthy family.

"This old bald donkey with ill intentions clearly wants to ruin the reputation of our Qingwan." Chen said angrily.

The royal family has always been averse to the idea of ​​having a hard life and being incompatible with each other.

If these words were to reach the ears of Concubine Shu, she would definitely have some reservations, and the marriage between Prince Rui and Qingwan might have to be called off.

She inexplicably guessed that Master Kongru was arranged by King Rui, otherwise how could they meet him by the Imperial Lake by such a coincidence!

What's more, Prince Rui even caught turtles for Miss Su Er. When Chen thought about this, she felt as if she had eaten a fly and felt nauseous.

"Old baldy, let the prince beat him up when we get back. He dared to make up stories about our Qingwan, this evil-hearted old fellow." The old princess hugged Su Qingwan with heartache.

If she had known that she would encounter these things after entering the palace, she would have rather let Qingwan rest at home.

Jiang felt even more upset.

Her daughter was a normal person, and she just went to the palace, but a monk said that she was a person with a bad fate and would bring bad luck to her husband.

What a miserable life!

If she breaks off the engagement with Prince Rui, how will she find a good marriage partner in the future?

Jiang was angry and sad, and she started crying anxiously.

"Mom, don't cry. It's obvious that the monk is lying. He's already a monk, why would he care about the marriages of men and women in the world?"

Su Qingwan comforted.

Chen also comforted her with a few words.

Jiang wiped away her tears and could only prepare for the worst.

If, if the reputation of her daughter being unlucky and bringing bad luck to her husband really spread, the worst that could happen would be that she would take her daughter back to Mo Nan.

Then I can find a live-in son-in-law.

Anyway, the family is not short of money and does not need the son-in-law to earn money to support the family. It is enough as long as he treats Qingwan well.

Su Qingwan had no idea that her mother had even thought of a way out for her. She was only thinking about Prince Rui's future arrangements in her mind.

After we return to the Marquis' Mansion, I will have to let Aunt Rong go and chat with her good sisters.

Today, the people in the capital must know about Prince Rui's brave act of jumping into the Imperial Lake to catch a turtle for Su Yunrou. After all, Prince Rui is a man with deep love.

"Aunt, my mother and I will go back to the Marquis' Mansion first. We will come to see you and Uncle another day."

Su Qingwan was worried about something and wanted to go back.

The old princess originally wanted to keep them, but thinking that she would probably have to accompany the prince to the palace again, she did not keep them and only arranged for Butler Han to send the mother and daughter back.

On the way back, Su Qingwan comforted Jiang for a while.

After entering the Marquis' Mansion, Su Qingwan had not seen Aunt Rong yet, but saw Qing Laoer walking towards her with a gossipy look on his face.

Su Qingwan asked Linxiang to take Jiang back to her room to rest, and she asked:

"Qing Lao Er, your face is cramping? Why are you shaking?"

Qing Lao Er rubbed his face and said, "Miss, I heard something strange in the big room today."

"If you have something to say, just say it and don't keep it secret."

"The woman in the first room who hooked up with men, oh, the second young lady went out today, and when she came back, she happily went to find her mother."

"I thought about following her and heard her telling Liu that the deed to the farm outside the city had been returned. Not long after, someone came to Liu to take something."

Su Qingwan reacted immediately.

"That's what happened!"

"What's going on?" Qing Laoer was very curious.

"It's just redeeming a farm that was mortgaged before. There's nothing strange about it. But I have something for you to do now." Su Qingwan said with a smile.

"What's going on?"

"A deeply moving story..." Su Qingwan said slowly, "You sell this story to the storyteller in the teahouse."

Qing Laoer is a good storyteller, and I believe that storytellers will be happy to tell the stories after they come out of his mouth.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Qing Laoer went out happily.

Although the people from Qinglin Village had not been in the capital for long, they had already familiarized themselves with teahouses, taverns and other places.

As soon as he left, Aunt Rong came back with a food box in her hand.

"Miss, you are back. Come and try this to see if it tastes good. This was made by Aunt Zhong, and she asked me to bring it back for you and the Third Madam to taste."

"Okay, then let's make a pot of tea and I'll tell you about the interesting things that happened in the palace today."

Su Qingwan asked Shanhu to make tea.

After a while, Su Qingwan started talking, and Aunt Rong's eyes widened.

"Did he really jump?"
