After a few people walked out, Chu Jun didn't speak for a long time.

Yunying could see that he was unhappy.

Chu Jun's performance this time was indeed beyond her expectations. She also never expected that Chu Jun would contradict his mother and disobey her arrangements.

It made her feel like she was back to the time when she first entered the mansion.

Thinking of this, she gently pulled Chu Jun's sleeve and said, "What happened today..."

Before she could finish, Chu Jun turned around and looked at her and said, "I volunteered to do what I did today, and I promised you a long time ago. Mother has gone too far. You don't have to take all the blame on yourself."

"Well, I know. You've been coming to my place all the time these past few days. I also know that you want to make amends. But I'm sorry, I still can't go back to the way things were before."

As Yunying spoke, she once again thought of the husband she had been waiting for to return for many years. She had gone to greet him with great joy that day, but ended up seeing a woman standing next to him and two children following behind him.

She still remembers the pain of that moment vividly.

Thinking of this, my heart began to ache again.

Chu Jun saw her like this and knew that it would be difficult to remove the thorn in her heart. He could only take his time in the future.

Not discouraged, he raised his hands and grasped her shoulders and said, "Aying, you will see my sincerity later. Let's go."

After arriving at Bishuiyunju, Chu Jun sat down and looked at Chu Qianyu and then Yunying: "Aying, I plan to ask someone to report the matter of the Regent King today. What do you think?"

Yunying was a little puzzled after hearing this: "Didn't you say to observe for a while? How come it's so fast?"

Chu Jun sighed, looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "You have to ask Qianqian about this. She has taken a fancy to the regent. She has been urging me to come these past two days. As a father, there is no reason for me to keep wasting time. Besides, Qianqian is not young anymore. It is not appropriate to delay any further."

Yunying frowned after hearing this and looked at Chu Qianyu who was sitting beside her. In her impression, her daughter would never do such a thing. Could it be that she really liked the Regent and lost her sense of proportion?

"Qianqian? Mother seems to find it hard to understand you now." Yunying said this with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.

Qianqian used to be a crying and timid girl. But now she has changed a lot. It seems that after Wang Man died and she returned from the temple, her temperament seems to be very different from before.

Even though she had explained it to herself, she still felt a little confused. This change seemed a bit too big to her.

Chu Qianyu's heart suddenly trembled when she heard this. She felt a little guilty, but she still lowered her head and pretended to be shy. She whispered, "Mother, I have met the prince before, so I fell in love with him at first sight. I met him several times after that. I was in danger in the temple that time, and I met him on the way back, and he helped me."

"Also, my daughter accidentally burned her leg while drinking tea in a teahouse, and the prince ordered someone to find a doctor to help her. Also, at the last Spring Banquet, my daughter was poisoned, and the Regent found a carriage to send me back."

"So my daughter thinks that he must be interested in me. Otherwise, why would he directly reject the Queen Mother's marriage proposal and come to marry my daughter. I... I have never met anyone who moved me so much..."

After Chu Qianyu finished speaking, she lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief with both hands, looking extremely nervous.

After hearing this, Yunying felt that she had just overthought. But now she always felt that Qianqian seemed a little different from before for some reason.

Yunying stood up, walked over to her and gently stroked her back, saying, "Since you like it, then let your father go back earlier."

"Thank you, mother."

"What are you thanking me for? Every mother hopes that her children can live a good life. As long as you are happy, your mother will be relieved." Yunying chuckled.

Chu Jun was delighted to see the two of them like this, and then he stood up and said, "In that case, I'll leave first. You two mother and daughter can have a good chat."

"Well, go ahead." Yunying said.

When Chu Qianyu heard this, she looked up at Chu Jun and said gratefully, "Thank you, father, for your help."

Chu Jun waved his hand and said, "We are all family, so why bother saying polite words? I'll leave first."

As he walked out of the room, Chu Jun's face suddenly turned cold.

He said to his subordinate Wei Ze: "Find someone to spread the news, saying that my wife and I are deeply in love and I will never marry another woman in the future. Let those aristocratic families who are ready to make a move give up these thoughts as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Wei Ze agreed and prepared to go out to do his work.

"Don't worry, go to the Regent's Palace first and tell him that I agree with him marrying Qianqian. Then go and do what I just told you to do."

"Yes."

"Well, let's go."

-

At the Prince Regent's Mansion, after Wei Ze delivered the news, Mo Yinan was silent for a long time and finally sighed, as if he had compromised.

He called Qingfeng in and ordered, "Go find someone from the Ministry of Rites to handle this matter. Let me know when the date is set."

Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, you may not know that the wife of the Minister of Rites went to the General's Mansion a while ago and wanted to marry her eldest daughter to the General. But General Chu refused. And just now, there was news that General Chu would not marry any more women or concubines in the future."

"If you let the Ministry of Rites take care of your marriage with Miss Chu, it will inevitably cause trouble for Miss Chu. What do you think?"

Mo Yinan didn't care after hearing this and said, "It's okay, you go and arrange it."

"Yes." Qingfeng sighed inwardly, feeling that Miss Chu was a little pitiful. The prince didn't take her seriously even before she entered the palace. If she entered the palace in the future, she would probably be ignored by the prince.

Oh, I wish you all the best.

Madam Wang returned to the mansion with her daughter in a rage. The Minister of Rites had just returned from outside. Seeing his wife's state, he stepped forward and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Who offended you?"

Madam Wang stopped and snorted, "Humph! It's still about the Chu family. I'm here for my daughter's marriage, and because the Queen secretly pointed out that General Chu is a good person and a good match."

"I also made some inquiries and found out that General Chu's wife is useless. If my daughter married her, she would definitely be able to take over the management of the general's mansion. But I didn't expect that I would be so angry today when I went there."

When the Minister of Rites heard this, his expression became serious and he asked, "What happened? But General Chu doesn't like our Yue'er."

Before Madam Wang could say anything, Wang Yue said, "It's because General Chu's wife is very jealous. She doesn't want General Chu to marry again. If it weren't for her, why would General Chu be unwilling to marry me?"

"Father, you have to make the decision for your daughter. My daughter's marriage was delayed due to illness. What should I do now? If this matter gets out, it may be difficult for my daughter to get married in the future."

As she spoke, tears began to flow out as if the thread had broken.

This made Minister Wang feel very distressed.

Mrs. Wang was ready to correct her daughter when she heard what she had said, but General Chu was unwilling to do so.

But after hearing what her daughter said later, she felt that it made sense. She became even angrier and looked at her husband, waiting for him to make the decision.

"Is this true? But General Chu's wife is of a high social status. She is the daughter of the Grand Tutor. Logically, she shouldn't be a jealous woman." Shangshu Wang said with some doubt.

"Father! Don't you believe your daughter? Do you think she is talking nonsense?" Wang Yue asked while crying.

Shangshu Wang quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, no, no, father doesn't disbelieve you. I'll ask General Chu when I have time. If it's feasible, father would naturally hope that you can find a good family to marry into."

"Master, people from the Regent's Palace are here." The doorman ran in from outside and shouted.
