After the court session, Song Wanfeng and Xiao Jingheng walked out of the palace together. They each had their own thoughts and started chatting together.

"Jingheng, I see that you are already quite grown up, why are you still reluctant to get married?

A talented man like you who looks gentle and elegant, looking across the entire Shangjing City, how many noble ladies are vying to marry you.

Don't set your sights too high. Have you met a girl you like?"

Xiao Jingheng's heart suddenly shook, and Song Wanyin's voice and appearance subconsciously appeared in his mind, and he was in a trance for a moment.

Ever since Song Wanyin got married, he has been slow to get married and has rejected many marriage proposals, becoming a difficult problem for the Xiao family.

In fact, many dignitaries secretly talked about him behind his back, wondering if there was something wrong with his sexuality, which was why he refused to marry and have children.

However, he did not take these rumors seriously. He always kept an unknown secret in his heart and dared not touch it easily.

Seeing that he was distracted for no apparent reason, Song Wanfeng waved his hand in front of his eyes and said:

"Wake up, what are you doing?"

Xiao Jingheng came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure. His cheeks flushed and he said:

"Brother Wanfeng, please stop teasing me.

A true man has great ambitions and will not worry about the affairs of his children. "

Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Song Wanfeng deliberately let the cat out of the bag and said:

“Yes, yes, it’s a good thing that you have ambitions and aspirations.

However, women are different from men, they can't afford to waste time.

If you really like a girl, you should marry her home as soon as possible.

Otherwise, this flower will be picked by someone else.

By the way, tomorrow is the wedding day of the Princess and the General. The General’s Mansion will hold a banquet and many dignitaries will come to congratulate them.

I plan to take my wife and sister with me, and find a young and promising young man from a noble family for my sister.

Only by letting my sister get back into a new relationship can she completely let go of her failed marriage."

Xiao Jingheng's pupils suddenly trembled, and he said anxiously:

"Brother Wanfeng, this forced melon is not sweet.

I think you should listen more to Junior Sister's ideas.

After all, she was hurt too deeply by Gu Qingchen, and it is inevitable that there will be scars in her heart."

Song Wanfeng smiled meaningfully, strode away, and waved at him without looking back:

"My sister is too old to waste time. She is still in her prime, so she should look for a good husband."

Xiao Jingheng's brows furrowed even more tightly, and his hands hidden in his sleeves gradually clenched.

For the first time, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Song Wanfeng returned to his bedroom, changed into an ink-colored brocade robe with a bamboo pattern, and went to Qingfengzhai to handle official business.

As soon as he entered the room, he keenly noticed the changes in the room. His four treasures of the study and some personal belongings he often used seemed to have all been moved. They were now neatly put back in place, clearly visible at a glance.

On the table, there was a freshly brewed pot of hot tea, a bowl of peach blossom soup, and several plates of pastries, all made in the shape of flowers, looking lifelike.

There was also a faint scent of rouge and powder in the air, a scent I seemed to have smelled somewhere before.

It seems that it was that Xu Qianqian who had been to Qingfengzhai before.

He had sternly warned Xu Qianqian several times not to enter Qingfengzhai, let alone touch anything of his, but he didn't expect Xu Qianqian to be so stubborn.

Suddenly, Song Wanfeng recalled that Hua Muxue always looked depressed in recent days, as if she couldn't muster the energy to do anything.

Every time he asked her, she would either avoid his gaze or change the subject, as if she was hiding something from him.

He has always understood Hua Muxue. In order not to cause trouble for himself, he bears all the grievances by himself. His sensibleness is heartbreaking.

If he went to settle the score with Xu Qianqian now, it would inevitably alarm Aunt Shen, and then Aunt Shen would vent her anger on Hua Muxue.

Given Hua Muxue's fragile personality, she would probably feel self-blame and guilt, and hope that big things could be small and small things could be forgotten, which might even hurt her fragile heart.

Song Wanfeng was already busy with official duties and had no time to spare. After returning home, he had to deal with the intrigues in the inner house. He really felt overwhelmed.

Feeling bored, he went to the courtyard to relax. As he walked, he came to Hewang Garden, intending to have a long talk with his sister.

Since returning triumphantly, I haven't had a good chat with my sister alone.

When Tiancheng and Nanny Wei saw their master coming, they greeted him with a smile as if he were a rare guest and invited him into the bedroom.

Song Wanyin is studying the bottle of peach blossom dew, intending to further expand the scope of business. Maybe it will become the most popular thing in the future.

"Sister, am I disturbing you?"

Song Wanfeng stepped into the threshold with his tall and straight figure and asked cautiously:

"Hmm? Where does the strange fragrance come from?"

Seeing that he looked troubled, Song Wanyin immediately stood up to greet him:

"Brother, please take a seat. This is a new gadget I just got. Once I figure it out, I can sell the flower dew.

By the way, why don't you go accompany your sister-in-law in your spare time? Why do you come to my place?"

Song Wanfeng's face was filled with sorrow when he mentioned this matter. He reached out to take the cup of tea offered by Tiancheng and said distressedly:

"Sister, I am worried.

Ever since your sister-in-law followed me back home, I haven't seen a smile on her face.

Do you think she doesn't like the capital and doesn't want to stay here?

Am I being a bit too selfish? She used to live in seclusion in the mountains and lead a carefree life without caring about worldly affairs.

It was me who imprisoned her freedom and kept her like a canary in this cage."

Song Wanyin was very anxious when she saw that her brother and sister-in-law kept everything to themselves and refused to speak out loud for each other.

"Brother, you should know Aunt Shen well. You should be able to detect all the evil deeds she has done in the mansion, needless to say.

And that Xu Qianqian has been harassing you crazily recently, trying to capture your body and mind, become your concubine, and one day replace my sister-in-law.

As a woman, I have experienced these things in the Gu family, such as favoring concubines and destroying wives. I really can't bear to let my sister-in-law repeat the same mistake."

Upon hearing this, Song Wanfeng suddenly threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and said angrily:

"Xu Qianqian is not even as good as a hair of my wife, she can never take my wife's place!

I'm not afraid of offending Aunt Shen. At worst, this relative won't stay.

Looking back now, I knew there was something fishy going on when I saw my wife looking so unhappy all day long.

No, I can't keep pretending to be deaf and dumb any longer, I'm going to go talk to Aunt Shen now."

Seeing that he was losing his temper, Song Wanyin stepped forward to block his way and persuaded him:

"Brother, calm down. Sister-in-law is afraid that you will have a falling out with Aunt Shen, so she doesn't want to tell you many things.

In fact, if you take someone like Aunt Shen seriously, you will lose."

Seeing that she had been smart since she was a child, Song Wanfeng quickly asked:

"Sister, do you have any good ideas?"

Song Wanyin slowly brewed him another cup of tea, ordered Tiancheng to clean up the debris on the ground, and said with a slight smile:

"Brother, we can catch the turtle in the jar."

Song Wanfeng suddenly understood what she meant, and his frown relaxed. He smiled dotingly and said:

“Good sister, you are a cunning little fox.

Oh, there's something I almost forgot to tell you.

Tomorrow you will come with me to congratulate the Princess and the General on their big day. By then, there will surely be many dignitaries and their legitimate sons present.

These legitimate sons who will inherit the mantle in the future are all proficient in both civil and military strategies, so they can be promoted and supported in the future.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you like someone, just give me a wink.

After all, you are a girl, it is impossible for you to remain single for your entire life.

This time, your sister-in-law and I will help you check, you will definitely find a husband of your dreams."

Song Wanyin just took a sip of tea and couldn't help but spit it out, and said with a look of shock:

"What? You want to find a marriage for me?"

Song Wanfeng smiled meaningfully and said:

"Yes, maybe I can help to make a good marriage."
