Zhan Yu was so angry that she wanted to tear the vicious woman in front of her into pieces.

She is so good at pretending!

No, Lin Yiwan was very stupid before. She almost did whatever he said. Why did her personality change so suddenly?

Doubts arose in Zhan Yu's heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

He argued anxiously: "Father, I am innocent. I really didn't push her!"

Lin Yiwan said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, Lord, he really didn't push me, don't be angry!"

She said this, but her pretty face looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Zhan Yan spoke without hesitation, "Just do as your mother said and let her decide to marry Chen Zhilan into the Marquis' Mansion as your concubine. You keep saying that she's a noble lady from the capital, but you're secretly having sex with an engaged man. Is that what a noble lady does? A woman with such a corrupt character absolutely cannot be the wife of the Crown Prince of the Zhan Yi Marquis' Mansion!"

Zhan Yu was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. Seeing his cold face filled with anger, she didn't dare to argue anymore.

Madam Zhan spoke at the right moment: "Just do as the Marquis ordered. Then I'll trouble Yiwan to take the betrothal gifts to the Chen Mansion!"

Lin Yiwan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, then I will go back to the courtyard and wait for the betrothal gifts from the old lady!"

After saying that, she naturally took Zhan Yan's wrist and walked out.

His expression flickered, but he didn't shake it off after all.

After the two disappeared from the old lady's courtyard, Zhan Yu angrily asked, "Grandmother, how could you agree to such a ridiculous decision? Zhilan is the girl I hold dear to my heart, how could I let her be treated as a concubine?"

Madam Zhan glared at him and said, "Didn't you see your father protecting her? Do you really want to be whipped?"

Zhan Yu gritted his teeth and complained, "Why would my father help her? What kind of magic potion did this bitch give him?"

Madam Zhan waved her hands in annoyance: "It's just a defect, not worth mentioning. If you want to gain a foothold in the court in the future, you still need him to pave the way for you. Don't anger him again!"

Zhan Yu nodded: "Grandmother is right. After I return, I will send the only copy of the previous dynasty's farming map to him to apologize!"

Madam Zhan narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and said, "My dear grandson, remember to urge him to quickly finalize the matter of you becoming Master Fang's disciple. The imperial examination is approaching, and he is the chief examiner. As long as you can catch his eye, you will surely achieve excellent results and gain the Emperor's favor!"

Zhan Yu quickly asked, "What about Zhilan's betrothal gift?"

Madam Zhan pointed at his head and said, "You are thinking about her. Don't worry. Let her enter the mansion as a concubine. Only our mansion knows about it. You gave so much betrothal gifts and thought you were marrying a wife. We won't let her suffer any grievances!"

Zhan Yu bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Grandma!"

Just after lunch, Lin Yiwan heard a commotion outside the yard.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of betrothal gifts were delivered, and a smiling old maid quickly walked up to her and said, "Greetings, Madam. I am Nanny Ru, who serves the Crown Prince. I will accompany you to the Chen Mansion to propose marriage!"

Lin Yiwan wore a gentle and dignified smile. She walked around the dozens of boxes and asked curiously, "There are a lot of good things in here, right?"

A look of pride flashed across Nanny Ru's face. The Chen Mansion was the home of the prince's biological mother.

As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family, so naturally everything is excellent.

To show how much the prince valued Chen Zhilan, she answered without hesitation, "Yes, the first box contains gold, silver, jade, and the second box contains silk and satin. As for the third box, it contains all the fine items that Concubine Yao brought from the palace. They are very valuable!"
