After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Qin Yueze could only sigh and told Shen Rongyue, "Go back to the mansion first, and ask someone to send another carriage, and you go to the general's mansion first. I will pick you up later."

Shen Rongyue naturally guessed that Qin Yueze was going to see Chu Xinglan, and was very reluctant.

But no matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to obey.

Shen Rongyue got off the carriage and walked back with her maid Xiao Cui.

Qin Yueze ordered the carriage to change route and go to Zuixianlou.

When I got there, I saw that besides Chu Xingyu, Chu Xinglan was also waiting in the private room.

Seeing Qin Yueze coming over, Chu Xingyu changed his usual enthusiasm and left the private room with a cold face, leaving Qin Yueze facing the angry Chu Xinglan.

"Young Master, you are finally here! It is really not easy to see you nowadays..." Chu Xinglan rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

Qin Yueze ordered someone to guard the door, walked over to Chu Xinglan and sat down, put his arm around her shoulders, and said to her in a soothing tone,

"Lanlan, it's not that I don't want to see you, it's just that I've been busy lately and can't spare the time..."

"Pa!" Chu Xinglan slapped away Qin Yueze's arm that was touching her shoulder, "Don't touch me!"

"Can't get away? Is the prince busy getting married?" Chu Xinglan glared at Qin Yueze.

Qin Yueze hurriedly explained, "Lanlan, don't be angry. Didn't I tell you before that marrying the general's widow is just for the sake of the overall situation and a temporary solution? Think about it, how could I like a married woman? When I ascend the throne to become emperor in the future, you will be the only one who can be the queen..."

Unexpectedly, his explanation made Chu Xinglan even angrier, "Bah! I was stupid to believe your nonsense!"

"How could it be nonsense? Lanlan, what I said is true. I only love you truly, but now I have to consider the overall situation..." Qin Yueze said, and put his hand on Chu Xinglan's shoulder again.

But Chu Xinglan once again rudely pushed him away.

"Your Highness is still trying to fool me with these words. Do you think that everyone in my Prime Minister's Mansion is blind and deaf? Don't you know that you are about to marry Sun Xiuqing?"

After saying this, Chu Xinglan was already in tears.

She has always been confident that she can control the man in front of her.

But at this moment, she lost her confidence.

The news had almost spread throughout the capital that Prince Kang's palace was going to marry the Sun family.

She has also sent people to investigate and confirm that the two families have indeed been in frequent contact recently and are very close.

I even found out that Sun Xiuqing had already gone to the most famous Jinyifang in the capital to order her wedding dress...

But this man is still denying it...

Don’t you think that using me and the Prime Minister’s Mansion is not enough?

"From now on, I, Chu Xinglan, will no longer be your pawn, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will no longer be at your mercy! Whoever you want to marry has nothing to do with me or the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Chu Xinglan said this angrily and stood up to leave.

Qin Yueze hurriedly stopped him, "Lanlan, listen to me, don't believe those rumors outside, they are not true! I only have you in my heart, and the one I want to marry now is only the widow of the general... All my calculations are only for our future, not for anything else..."

Chu Xinglan raised her tearful eyes, "It's not true? Everyone in the capital knows about it, and you're still denying it?"

Qin Yueze anxiously grabbed Chu Xinglan's hand, held it tightly, and assured: "Lanlan, don't worry, everything is just the Sun family's wishful thinking. I will never marry Sun Xiuqing."

He, Chu Xinglan, and the Prime Minister's Mansion were on the same path from the beginning.

Marrying Shen Qingyin was to smoothly obtain the throne.

But without the Prime Minister's Office, there would be no one to win support from all parts of the court for him. Even if he inherited the throne, he would be powerless to fight against the ambitious Queen...

Compared with all this, Sun Xiuqing is nothing.

In the future, he would have as many beauties as he wanted in his three harems and six courtyards. He would not be short of Sun Xiuqing.

After thinking this through, Qin Yueze made up his mind to sever ties with the Sun family as soon as possible.

Seeing Qin Yueze's certainty, Chu Xinglan's expression softened slightly, "Did the prince really not lie to Lanlan?"

Qin Yueze immediately pointed to the sky and swore: "Of course I didn't lie to Lanlan. I swear to the sky, everything I said is true. If one of my words is false, I will be struck by lightning..."

Chu Xinglan hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, "No need to do that, I'll trust you again... But then you have to get rid of the Sun family as soon as possible..."

She had called him here, intending to give him a chance.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to ask him to come here.

At this point, she and the Prime Minister's Office were both in a difficult situation.

He did everything for Qin Yueze, including what he should and shouldn't do...

"Don't worry, Lanlan. I will resolve it as soon as possible and will never let you down!" Qin Yueze assured again.

"Okay." Chu Xinglan slowly leaned her head against his chest...

The General's Mansion.

Shen Rongyue reluctantly arrived at the gate, prepared to be turned away.

Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper opened the door as soon as he saw her, "It's Concubine Shen, please come in."

Shen Rongyue was stunned. She had never expected to be welcomed so warmly.

But based on past experience, Shen Qingyin might embarrass her in some way.

Sure enough, a maid led her to the second gate, said she was going to go in to report, and then left her behind.

Among the two people on duty at the second gate today, one of them is Zhuoran.

Although he is just a servant, he is born with a good-looking appearance, red lips, white teeth, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, which makes people unable to ignore him.

"Madam, please sit down and wait." Zhuoran attentively pulled the chair he was originally sitting on to Shen Rongyue.

Shen Rongyue couldn't help but look up, and met Zhuoran's gaze, which was as hot as a flame.

Shen Rongyue looked away in panic, but her heart started beating wildly...

She sat down pretending to be calm, but her heart couldn't calm down.

Fortunately, the maid came back not long after, "Please come in, Concubine Shen, the Madam is waiting for you in Chunnuan Pavilion."

Shen Rongyue agreed and was about to go in, but in her panic, she accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt when she stood up. She lost her balance and was about to fall, but Zhuoran quickly helped her up.

"Ma'am, please slow down..."

The moment Zhuoran touched her, Shen Rongyue felt as if a small flame in her chest was suddenly ignited.

The passionate scene of the two of them on the bed in their previous life unconsciously emerged in my mind.

By the time Zhuoran let go of his hand, Shen Rongyue's face was already flushed.

Sure enough, some people are destined to be attracted to each other as soon as they meet...
