Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

Han Chenghe could only nod.

"In my opinion, we should get married first and then divorce in three years. It's time for Master Han to start a family, as his mother must be urging him to do. I'm also of marriageable age. If it weren't for this marriage, I'd probably be preparing to enter the palace for the selection of concubines. On balance, a marriage alliance isn't a bad idea."

Liu Yue's words left Han Chenghe stunned.

"Don't you yearn for the splendor and wealth of the palace?"

“I don’t yearn for it.”

Liu Yue answered firmly, "There's already a concubine vying for my favor at home, and life is incredibly difficult. I also have my own ambitions to fulfill. After the divorce, I'll be able to establish my own family, free from the constraints of my natal family and the annoyances of my in-laws. I'll be very free."

Han Chenghe stared at Liu Yue blankly.

The woman had obviously thought it over carefully and was speaking frankly and without reservation.

Han Chenghe thought this made sense and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree to this. However, there are three rules."

Liu Yue raised an eyebrow: "I'd like to hear the details."

"First, you can't have any improper thoughts about me."

Seeing Liu Yue's eyes widen, Han Chenghe finally managed to win back a point and continued, "Second, you are not allowed to approach me deliberately. Third, after marriage, you will each be independent. Act like a loving couple in front of others, and don't interfere with each other in private."

Liu Yue chuckled twice.

The Kyoto dandy is indeed as narcissistic and arrogant as his reputation.

She answered readily, "Okay, I agree."

The two men high-fived each other in oath, and to avoid gossip, left the rockery one after the other.

Liu Yue went straight back to the room, while Han Chenghe went to find Shen Muxue. Upon learning that someone had died, Han Chenghe hurriedly took Shen Muxue away.

The marriage is set, and Han Chenghe no longer needs to run away.

The brother and sister took a car back to the capital. On the way, Shen Muxue briefly asked about the situation.

Han Chenghe said confidently, "It's done. We're just a deal. When the time comes, we'll divorce immediately."

Shen Muxue frowned: "We were originally planning to cancel the engagement, how did it turn out like this?"

Han Chenghe didn't care: "It's all the same. At least getting married will free me from my mother's control. Then I can do whatever I want. How free I will be."

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Shen Muxue didn't say much, but she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was.

Back at the Prime Minister's residence, my father Shen Zhenwu's servant came to tell me, "Miss, the master wants you to come to the study."

"Find me?"

Shen Muxue was quite surprised.

What else could Shen Zhenwu say to her?

Shen Muxue tidied herself up a bit and went to the study, but unexpectedly there was another guest in the study - Marquis Anping.

Marquis Anping had previously hated Shen Muxue to the core.

At this moment, he was out of character and said, "Xue'er, uncle finally waited for you. Your brother Ling Fan is in trouble, you can't just sit back and watch."

Everything is for Ling Fan.

Shen Muxue sat leisurely in a chair, her words tinged with worldly matters: "I heard that Brother Ling Fan was summoned to the Dali Temple, where they are known for their expertise in handling cases. I believe that Brother Ling Fan will not be wrongly accused. Lord, please be patient and we will wait for good news."

Marquis Anping turned his gaze and fell on Shen Zhenwu.

Shen Zhenwu immediately took up his position. "Mu Xue, this matter is very complicated. Stop your sarcastic remarks. I know that you had some interactions with the Dali Temple Minister when you were helping the refugees. How about you go and smooth things over?"

A smile appeared on Shen Muxue's lips.

These people greet you with a smile when they need you, but look you in the eye when they don't.

Now you still have the nerve to ask her to make connections.

Pull a ghost!

Shen Muxue's face darkened. "Father holds the high position of Prime Minister, and serves in the same court as Jiang Ziling, the Minister of Justice. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to personally take action than for a little girl like me? Lord Jiang will give you some respect because of your power. I am insignificant and my words are not important, so it is inconvenient for me to interfere."

Shen Zhenwu doesn't understand boundaries, but Shen Muxue can't let him cross them.

Anyway, the father and daughter no longer had any superficial harmony, and Shen Muxue was too lazy to act.

After that, he turned around and left.

"You, you unfilial daughter, really make me angry to death!"

Shen Zhenwu pounded the table, his body trembling slightly with anger.

Anping Hou seemed to have thought of something and stood up quickly: "You should rest first. I will go and persuade Xue'er."

Looking at the hurriedly departing figure of Marquis Anping, Shen Zhenwu sighed.

This girl seems gentle and lovely, but now she is very stubborn.

Expecting her to be obedient is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"Xue'er, Xue'er, slow down."

Marquis Anping called out to Shen Muxue in the corridor. Facing Shen Muxue's indifference, he said seriously, "It's certainly not safe to ask someone to do something based solely on personal connections. I have some information that Xue'er might want to know. I wonder if I can use it to strike a small deal with her."

Shen Muxue still looked indifferent.

She really couldn't think of any good news from Marquis Anping that could be compared with the current trouble.

Marquis Anping looked around.

After confirming that no one was there, he lowered his voice: "Xue'er, do you know your mother's real...reason?"

Her mother died in childbirth, this was a story she had heard since she was a child.

Some people even said that she was the one who killed her own mother, and she blamed herself for it for a long time.

I always feel that if it weren't for her, my mother might not have passed away.

What exactly did Marquis Anping mean by these words?

"Xue'er, your mother was born into the Han family's main house. She was the only daughter of her generation, and the whole family doted on her like a jewel in the palm of their hand. She must have been extremely carefully cared for during her pregnancy, and even the imperial physicians in the palace checked on her frequently. How could she have a difficult birth?"

There seems to be some truth in this.

Shen Muxue couldn't help but ask: "What else?"

Seeing that Shen Muxue had indeed taken the bait, Marquis Anping continued, "Don't you find it strange? Your mother entered the Prime Minister's residence with a huge dowry and numerous followers. But now, you can still find someone from that time in the mansion?"

Earlier, the old maid who delivered the relics mentioned that after the mother's death, some servants returned to the general's mansion, while others were fired or sold.

In short, the house was cleaned out completely, and all traces of mother Han Qinglian disappeared.

what does this mean?

It means someone has something to hide!

Shen Muxue suddenly looked up and grabbed Anping Hou's sleeve tightly: "Does the Marquis know any secrets? How did my mother die?"

The Marquis of Anping suddenly fell silent.

He smiled cunningly, like an old fox: "Xue'er, I will naturally not lie to you. As long as you rescue Ling Fan first, when he is free again, I will naturally tell you the answer you want."

Shen Muxue is not someone who can be easily fooled.

She laughed. "This deal isn't worth it. What if I really rescued the person, and you turn your back on me? Or maybe you'd try to be mysterious and say Mother died of childbirth complications, and those words were just lies? What could I do to you then? My Lord, don't treat us all like fools."

After saying that, Shen Muxue turned around and left.

She seemed to be indifferent to her mother's life or death, but she was the only one who knew the beating of her heart like a drum.

She was waiting, waiting for Marquis Anping to speak and persuade her to stay.

As expected, just after taking the third step, Anping Hou spoke again: "I can tell you clearly that your mother did not die of complications during childbirth. The matter is very complicated, but I have witnesses. Let me leave it at that. If you do not wish to intervene, I will not force you."

These words made Shen Muxue stop.
