Pei Yi hugged her tightly and couldn't help but sigh, "It's you who hangs out with that kid from the Han family all day long. You're either attending banquets together or he's backing you up to ask for money. All this time, the two of you are inseparable, chatting and laughing. Xue'er, don't forget that I'm also a man of flesh and blood."
Shen Muxue's crying stopped abruptly.
He looked at Pei Yi in disbelief.
He reached out to cover Shen Muxue's eyes and said awkwardly, "You should be more careful in the future."
A smile gradually appeared on Shen Muxue's lips.
It turns out that the emperor can also be jealous.
It seems that all men in this world are the same. Once they decide on something, they will not allow others to touch it.
But she and Han Chenghe will still have business cooperation, so how can she avoid suspicion easily?
Shen Muxue rolled her eyes, gently pushed the emperor's hand away, and said with a smile: "You know, I'm really happy."
She turned around and looked directly at the emperor, looking up with a glint in her eyes: "It turns out that I am not insignificant in your heart. This makes me very happy."
Pei Yi looked at her sincere expression and sighed in his heart, what a silly girl.
He reached out and gently pinched Shen Muxue's cheek.
"You have always occupied your position and never changed."
"My second cousin and I run a business together, so naturally we're close. He treats me like his own sister and wouldn't have any improper thoughts about me."
Shen Muxue's expression darkened slightly. "Besides, I haven't been in touch with my maternal grandparents for many years. Now that we've finally reestablished our relationship, I don't want to give up this hard-earned family bond so easily!"
After that, she held his hand tightly and said seriously, "But I promise you, I will never do anything out of line. Please believe me, okay?"
The emperor looked at her earnest eyes and had no choice but to nod.
Of course he trusted her.
However, he couldn't feel at ease about Han Chenghe.
He couldn't believe that there was a man in this world who could remain unmoved by such a beauty.
The emperor lowered his head and kissed Shen Muxue's forehead gently, suppressing those thoughts and replied, "Okay."
"You're the nicest person."
Shen Muxue snuggled into the emperor's arms, rubbing against him gently like a cat.
Pei Yi's body stiffened, and he warned in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, otherwise, you will suffer."
After returning to the palace, the emperor immediately issued an imperial decree.
The third daughter of the Liu family, Liu Yue, was betrothed to the second son of the Han family.
After the Han family received the imperial edict, Han Chenghe was sent to the ancestral hall by his mother Liu and punished to kneel for three days.
"You rascal, if you can't explain clearly what's going on between you and Yue'er, don't even think about leaving the ancestral hall!"
Liu was really angry.
When she was a child, Liu Yue was very close to Han Chenghe and always liked to follow him and call him brother sweetly.
One is gentle and lovely, the other is extraordinarily handsome. The two of them standing together are simply a match made in heaven.
Plus, Liu Yue is Liu's niece.
She had long wanted to strengthen the relationship between the two families.
That day, she even invited a matchmaker to come to her house to arrange a marriage for her children.
Unexpectedly, Han Chenghe heard about this outside and rushed in, shouting, "Can't the women of the Liu family find husbands? Why do I have to clean up this mess?"
In one sentence, the whole family was furious.
My brother left in anger and we didn't have any contact for several years.
He even strictly forbade his daughter to get close to the young master of the Han family.
The relatives ended up in this state all because of Han Chenghe's mouth.
Liu had no choice but to accept her fate.
Especially when he saw that his son was neither good at literature nor martial arts, he felt somewhat relieved.
Yue Erru has grown into a beautiful and elegant woman now, and it is really unfair for her to marry this brat.
Who could have expected that an imperial decree would forcibly bind this ill-fated relationship together.
She even couldn't imagine how her family would react when they received the imperial edict.
Three days later, Han Chenghe was so weak from hunger that he finally confessed: "Last year! During the Flower Festival, I accidentally picked up her leftover handkerchief."
Liu suddenly opened her eyes wide and couldn't help but point at Han Chenghe, speechless for a moment.
The Flower Festival is the day when women meet their beloved men.
On that day, every woman would tie her embroidered handkerchief to her favorite flower and throw it to her lover. If the other person caught it, it meant that the woman accepted her love.
"You! Why didn't you say anything at the time!"
Liu stamped her feet and turned around to order the housekeeper: "Quickly prepare the carriage, I need to go to the Liu Mansion now."
She always acted decisively and left soon.
Han Chenghe opened his mouth and took a long time to spit out the second half of the sentence: "But... later I threw it back."
After saying that, he began to feel confused: "She clearly turned around and left at that time. Could it be that Liu Yue still has a crush on me? So she asked the emperor to grant us a marriage..."
Han Chenghe suddenly felt his eyes light up, as if he had uncovered some incredible secret.
He turned around and immediately started packing his luggage.
Ping An, the servant who was waiting on him, looked puzzled: "Second Young Master, what are you talking about?"
"Running away from marriage, how could I possibly marry a woman I don't like?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Chenghe put on his bag, pulled a horse, and slipped out directly from the small door in the backyard of the general's mansion.
A few days later, the sea calmed down.
Shen Muxue wrote a letter to Han Chenghe asking about the makeup duvet, but it fell on deaf ears with no response.
Seeing this, Han Luwen was afraid that Shen Muxue would worry, so she volunteered to tell her the whole story.
Shen Muxue was surprised: "What did you say! Run away from marriage?"
"Shh, Sister Xue, please keep your voice down. This matter is being kept secret at home. If the palace gets to know about it, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor."
Han Luwen's face was filled with worry. "My second brother looks quite capable, but he hasn't suffered much. He left in such a hurry, so he must not have had much money with him. I wonder how he's doing out there. Where do you think my second brother can go?"
"Lu Wen, don't worry now. I'll help you find it and tell you as soon as I have any news."
Han Luwen nodded gratefully.
After they parted ways, Qingyi still felt a little uneasy: "Wait, Miss, do you think the Second Young Master ran away with the money?"
"If he wants to run away, he has to wait until he earns back his money. So I can guarantee that he will never leave the capital."
Shen Muxue thought for a moment and instructed Qingyi, "I heard that the Zheng family's cargo ship will arrive in the next two days. Go to the dock and wait. If you see him, bring him back to me."
Qingyi believed Shen Muxue's words without a doubt and responded, "Okay."
After Qingyi left, Shen Muxue picked up the book of wealth secrets again, thinking about how to take over the mountain.
As a girl waiting to be married, even if she had the money to buy the land, this was not a big deal that she could handle alone.
And now, her only partner is Han Chenghe.
If the zhuanghua satin sells well, everyone will have more money and the cooperative relationship will be stronger.
If something goes wrong this time, she will lose face if she talks about developing the mountains again.
