After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

"Master Shang, you really think you're the same Master Shang from back then! How could I possibly have the energy to invite so many masters here? Let me advise you, today is different from the past. The Shang family has fallen, so you'd better stay calm! When the time is right, I'll naturally let you go!"

After saying that, the jailer left without looking back, leaving Shang Yong alone in the cell gritting his teeth.

He opened his eyes wide, looking unbelievable!

A few days later, a strange thing happened in the Dali Temple.

The Shang family of four disappeared out of thin air!

When the news reached Xie Mishuang's ears, she was reading a book in the study.

Qing He stood aside, head lowered, a hint of uneasiness in her tone: "My dear, I just received news that the Shang family of four have disappeared from the Dali Temple..."

Xie Mishuang's brows were furrowed, with a thousand thoughts running through his mind.

This life is different from the past. The Shang family was rescued, which means that there is a hidden danger for her and Ouyang Jing.

Next, the enemy is in the dark while they are in the light, making it difficult to deal with them.

"Find out who rescued the Shang family!" A sharp light flashed in Xie Mi's eyes.

"Yes, Miss." Qing He took the order and left.

After Qinghe left, Xie Mishuang sat alone in a chair, lost in thought.

"Miss," Qing He returned with a hint of hesitation on her face, "There is one more thing I am not sure whether I should tell you or not."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xie Mishuang raised his head and looked at Qinghe.

"My...my aunt, she...she is still alive." Qinghe took a deep breath and said with courage.

"What?" Xie Mishuang raised her head suddenly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Your aunt is still alive? Didn't you say that she has already..."

"I used to think so too," Qing He explained, lowering her head. "A few days ago, I received a letter from my aunt. She said in the letter that she didn't die that year, but was saved by a poor doctor in the village. She has been living in hiding for all these years."

"She's still alive? Why is she hiding her identity? Is she... hiding some secret?"

Qing He hurriedly said in a panic: "Miss, please calm down. I don't know why my aunt wants to hide her identity."

"Send someone to bring your aunt to the capital in the next few days." Xie Mishuang interrupted Qinghe with a firm tone, as if he had made an important decision.

"Ah?" Qing He was stunned and said in embarrassment, "But...but my aunt is already married and has children. The family depends on her making money from clothing. If she comes, what will happen to the family?"

"Then let her bring her family along." Xie Mishuang said without hesitation, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Qing He was even more embarrassed. She bit her lip and asked cautiously, "My Lady, what happened?"

Xie Mishuang looked at Qing He's worried expression, and her heart warmed. She walked up to her, gently helped her up, and said in a gentle tone: "It's okay to tell you. A few days ago, the head shopkeeper of the Shen family let slip that my mother... was killed by my father, and that... I'm not my father's biological child."

"What?!" Qing He exclaimed, her face instantly turning pale, her eyes filled with disbelief, "This is impossible! That shopkeeper Kai must be trying to use this to take advantage of your Majesty, your Majesty, please don't be fooled!"

"I have to verify this matter." Xie Mi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his tone was icy. "Your aunt is mother's personal maid. Maybe... she knows something."

Qing He immediately understood the seriousness of the matter and said firmly, "I understand. I will send someone to bring my aunt and her family over right now!"

At the same time, An Guo's envoys were about to arrive in the capital.

The palace was decorated with lights and was filled with joy.

In order to show his importance to An Guo, the emperor specially organized a grand welcoming banquet and invited all the well-known ladies and officials in the capital to attend to show the good relations between the two countries.

However, in this lively atmosphere, there was one person who was unhappy.

Princess Yong'an locked herself in the Yong'an Palace, refusing to eat, drink, or speak. Even though the table was filled with tempting aromas, it could not arouse her appetite.

"Princess, you should eat something." Seeing Princess Yong'an's haggard appearance, Lu Zhu, the personal maid, felt distressed. "If you don't eat, the Imperial Concubine will be distressed."

"You go! Go tell my mother that I will never marry into Anguo! Otherwise, I will not eat anything and will die once and for all!" Princess Yong'an suddenly flicked the cakes on the table to the ground. The delicate pastries rolled all over the floor, just like her broken heart at the moment.

Seeing this, Luzhu knelt down hurriedly, resting her white forehead on the cold ground, her tone full of fear, "Your Highness! Please don't embarrass me! I have told the Imperial Concubine no less than three times, but the Imperial Concubine has no choice! This is the Emperor's idea, no one can change it!"

"Father usually listens to mother the most. It must be because mother also wants me to marry so far away! She doesn't love me at all!" Princess Yong'an couldn't stop crying while tears as big as beans rolled down her face. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for her.

She has been loved by everyone since she was young. She is loved by her father, cared for by her mother, and taken care of by her brothers. She has never suffered any grievances.

Now, for the stability of the dynasty, she has to marry into a foreign country and be separated from her family forever. How can she accept this?

Just as Princess Yong'an was weeping uncontrollably, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the palace, followed by a gentle voice, "An'er! How could you say such a thing? Has your mother ever thought of letting you get married so early?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful and elegant woman walked quickly into the hall. It was the imperial concubine of the current dynasty, the mother of Princess Yong'an - Imperial Concubine Wen.

"Mother!" When Princess Yong'an saw Concubine Wen, she seemed to have found her backbone. She cried even more sadly, threw herself into Concubine Wen's arms, and hugged her tightly.

Concubine Wen was heartbroken. She patted Princess Yong'an's back gently and comforted her softly, "Alright, alright, don't cry, An'er. I'm here to give you some advice."

Hearing the word "idea," Princess Yong'an's sobbing stopped abruptly. She raised her head, looked at Concubine Wen with tearful eyes, and asked anxiously, "What ideas does mother have?"

Concubine Wen sighed softly and whispered in Princess Yong'an's ear, "As long as you find a prince consort as soon as possible, or even...make it a done deal, and then it would be best if the envoys from Anguo discovered it, then you wouldn't have to go for the marriage."

"Ah?" Princess Yong'an exclaimed, then looked troubled. "But... but where can I find a prince consort? And... if I do this, my reputation will be ruined..."

"Silly child!" Concubine Wen fondly tapped Princess Yong'an's forehead. "It's already this late, why are you still concerned about your reputation? Don't worry, your mother will make sure everything is properly arranged for you."
