Shangshu Wang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he turned to look at the servant and asked, "Why are the people from the Regent Palace suddenly coming here?"

"It seems that it is about marrying the eldest daughter of the Chu family. You should find someone to choose an auspicious date. And some etiquette matters."

Minister Wang was even more confused when he heard this. "Didn't the Queen Mother marry the daughter of Duke Mu a few days ago? How come the eldest daughter of the Chu family is suddenly involved? How come I don't know anything about it?"

"Forget it, let's go take a look first. You two go back first. I just happened to catch up with this matter. When I go to General Chu's mansion, I will ask about this matter today."

After saying this, Minister Wang prepared to follow the servant out.

Wang Yue's eyes rolled around quickly and he soon came up with an idea.

He took two steps forward and said, "Father, please stay. The eldest daughter of the Chu family should be the daughter of General Chu's wife."

"Yes, what's wrong?" Minister Wang didn't understand why his daughter asked this.

"Today, when my mother and I went there, it was Madam Chu who tried her best to stop me from marrying General Chu. With her temper, her daughter is naturally not that good. I don't know what the Regent sees in her."

"But my daughter heard that the eldest daughter of the Chu family is not young anymore. Now that the Regent has asked you to find someone to choose an auspicious date, why don't you..."

"Do you want her to marry the Regent later?" Before Wang Yue could finish her words, Minister Wang had already guessed what she was going to say next.

"Yes, a father still understands his daughter. Now her daughter's marriage has been disrupted by her mother. In this case, I can't let her marry the Regent so smoothly. And it was Miss Chu who accompanied her mother today. If she hadn't interfered, General Chu might have agreed."

Wang Yue said this with confidence. In her opinion, she was much younger than General Chu, and she looked pretty good, and her family background was OK. General Chu had no reason to be unwilling.

Today it was these mother and daughter who ruined her plans, so she naturally couldn't let them get their wish.

Minister Wang already doted on his daughter very much, and now that she said so, he would naturally pay attention to it.

So he said, "Okay, don't worry, father will see to it." If General Chu agreed to the marriage and his wife didn't make a fuss, then he would let the marriage between the Regent and Miss Chu go smoothly.

If not, then naturally we have to create some obstacles in secret.

When Shangshu Wang arrived at the front hall, he saw Qingfeng already waiting there. He quickly stepped forward and said, "I just heard about it. Does the Regent have any other requests?"

"No, I am here only to convey the regent's intention. I want you to find someone to calculate a suitable date as soon as possible so that we can prepare for the wedding earlier."

Minister Wang said respectfully, "Okay, please tell the Regent that I will definitely take care of this matter."

"Well. I'll take my leave!" Qingfeng said, turned around and left.

As soon as the person left, the servant came again and said that General Chu had come to the mansion.

When Minister Wang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he secretly wondered if General Chu agreed.

"Hurry, hurry, go and invite the person in." Shangshu Wang waved his hand and said to the servants.

Soon, Chu Jun was seen with several of his men, all of them holding gifts and walking towards this side.

When Minister Wang saw this joy, he thought it was Chu Jun who came to propose marriage, so he quickly said to the servant beside him: "Go and tell the lady and the young lady that General Chu has come with gifts. Tell them not to be angry anymore."

Minister Wang then stepped forward and politely said to Chu Jun, "Hey, General Chu, why did you suddenly come to my house? You came as soon as you said you would, but why did you bring so many things? You are really too polite."

Chu Jun first bowed to Shangshu Wang, then looked at him apologetically and said, "Sir Wang, I wonder if you know that your wife went to my house today."

"I know. But later they came back very angry. I haven't asked them what happened yet."

Chu Jun stopped and looked at Shangshu Wang and said, "We are sorry that we did not entertain you well today. Your wife and daughter have embarrassed you. But it is true that this matter was also my mother's own decision. I personally have no intention of marrying a wife or a concubine. So I came here today to apologize to your wife and daughter."

After he finished speaking, he said to his men behind him, "Put down all your things."

"Yes."

When Minister Wang heard this, the smile on his face instantly froze.

Didn't the wife and daughter say that it was General Chu's wife who stopped them? Why did General Chu do this...

But no matter what, he is indeed feeling a bit embarrassed now.

Minister Wang looked at General Chu and said, "In that case, I will not keep General Chu here. And take all these things with you."

After saying that, he turned and left, saying to the servant beside him: "See you out!"

Chu Jun didn't care about his attitude. After all, they were at fault. Chu Jun stood there and looked at Shangshu Wang and said, "Consider this gift as my apology to you. I'll leave it here. Anyway, this is indeed our family's problem, so I apologize to you again."

After Chu Jun said this, he saw that Shangshu Wang still had no intention of stopping.

Then he turned and left.

-

Minister Wang was extremely efficient. He found someone to match horoscopes and calculate an auspicious date.

Originally, he thought that if they were incompatible, the Regent would definitely not marry Chu Qianyu. But after thinking about it, he finally didn't have the courage.

Today, he came to the Regent's Palace to inform him of the chosen date and let him choose.

When Mo Yinan heard someone coming, he walked over from the study.

Minister Wang quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have already asked someone to calculate several suitable auspicious days. You can choose one from them."

"Well, bring it to me." Mo Yinan responded, walked to the stool above and sat down, looking at Shangshu Wang.

Minister Wang quickly handed over the paper he had prepared long ago.

Mo Yinan took it and looked at it carefully, but his expression did not change much. After reading it, he put it aside and said, "The closest one is fifteen days later, and the next one will be a year later? There is no suitable day in between?"

"Your Highness, this is what I asked the people at the Imperial Observatory to calculate. They are all very good days. If it is not written above, then it naturally does not exist."

"Well, in that case, you have to prepare quickly. I think the day after 15 days is a good one. Let's do it. I will prepare the things for the marriage proposal tomorrow, and you will go to General Chu's mansion with me the day after tomorrow." Mo Yinan stood up and left after he finished speaking. It was as if he had just decided on a trivial matter. It was not worth mentioning to him.

"Qingfeng, go tell the old lady that I will be getting married in fifteen days. That way she can be prepared."

"Yes."

After Mo Yinan had gone far away, Shangshu Wang still hadn't come back to his senses. He was sure that the regent would not choose after the fifteenth day, so the earliest would be after a year, which would be a small vent for his daughter.

I never expected that the Regent would not follow the normal approach.

Isn't this just digging a hole for him?

The fifteenth day, the preparations for the regent's wedding were not insignificant. How could they be ready in such a short time? He felt like crying.
