Shen Ming stayed in the alley alone for a long time. Until the servant couldn't wait for him and went in to look for someone, he went with the servant to the restaurant where they had made an appointment.

However, he did not keep the appointment. Instead, he asked for another private room and stayed there alone for half a day, applying facial mask for half a day until the redness and swelling on his face faded and nothing could be seen. Only then did he return to the Marquis' Mansion.

He went straight to his sister's yard.

His time is running out and he still has a lot to do.

When I hurried to my sister's yard, I saw her choosing fabrics with her three personal maids.

Shen Ming was stunned: "Nuan'an? Nuan Ning?"

"Didn't you return to Li Wangfu? Why are you back?"

Nuan An pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes blossoming with joy: "Master and the Ninth Prince are getting married, so naturally we have to come back!"

Nuan Ning smiled and said, "Not only us, the four sedan bearers have also returned!"

"And the silver bracelet that Jiuqian gave to our young lady, and the copper tube she wore around her neck, are all back!" Chun Xing said with a smile on her face, looking very happy.

Shen Ming: ???

Shen Nanxing smiled and said to the three maids, "You go out first. I want to talk to my brother."

"Yes!" The three maids retreated with a smile, each of their faces filled with joy.

When the door was closed, only the brother and sister were left in the room.

Shen Nanxing pointed at the pieces of cloth on the table, a smile on her face unstoppable: "Brother, please help me see which color looks best? I want to make new clothes!"

Shen Ming looked at the pieces of cloth on the table. The satin was smooth and shone brightly under the light, with excellent color.

He had been the prime minister of Donglai for many years, so he recognized at a glance that these fabrics were the Liuguang brocade specially supplied to the royal family and were priceless.

At least you can’t buy it outside, and the Nanyang Marquis Mansion doesn’t have this thing either.

He smiled and glanced at his sister: "Is it a gift from Fu Jiuli?"

"Yeah." Shen Nanxing smiled and nodded in agreement.

Shen Ming's smile faded, and he said coldly, "Are you going to marry Fu Jiuli?"

Shen Nanxing felt the sharp glare from his brother, and his neck felt cold. His voice was much softer than before: "Yeah."

"Has he come to propose marriage? He bribed you with just these few pieces of cloth?" Shen Ming was very dissatisfied.

"No." Shen Nanxing explained: "He said that it would take twenty days to prepare the betrothal gifts, and after twenty days he would come to our house to propose..."

"He just... sent these fabrics randomly..."

As she spoke, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

Shen Ming was both angry and amused: "Did Grandfather agree?"

Shen Nanxing blinked at Shen Ming and shook his arm with both hands: "Brother!"

Shen Ming laughed angrily: "Grandfather doesn't even know about this, right?"

Shen Nanxing nodded embarrassedly and shook his arm.

Shen Ming tapped her forehead and said, "You are quite courageous. You secretly arranged your marriage with someone without telling your grandfather, and even secretly set the date for the engagement!"

"If I didn't come today, would you have kept it a secret from me?"

Shen Nanxing quickly raised his head to show his loyalty: "How could that be possible? I was planning to tell you yesterday, but you were absent-minded yesterday, so I didn't find the chance to say it..."

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. After all, she was in the wrong.

Shen Ming thought about the koi fish in the pond that died of overeating yesterday, and he was speechless.

I wasn't very sober yesterday.

He glanced at his sister helplessly: "What's going on? Fu Jiuli came to see you? Is he finally willing to face his own heart?"

Shen Nanxing blushed, but still told her brother everything that happened yesterday, only hiding some of the intimate actions between them.

After listening to this, Shen Ming finally felt relieved.

His sister is with Fu Jiuli, so he can leave without worry in the future...

He looked at his sister and said gently, "Don't worry about Grandfather. Fu Jiuli can handle it himself."
