The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

It was already late at night when Sang Wan returned to the palace.

Yanhong sat on the steps of the yard, holding a bowl of dumplings in a daze.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Sang Wan smelled the dumplings. "They smell so good."

"Master, try this. These are the fennel dumplings that Auntie made. They are very delicious."

Yan Hong handed it over, feeling unhappy.

Sang Wan was not polite either. She had been disturbed by Baili Xi and Yan Yun today and she hadn't even had dinner. She was already hungry.

She sat down next to Yan Hong and asked while eating, "What's bothering you? Tell me about it."

Yan Hong pouted for a while before looking up and asking:

"You said Qingshan, when did he show that kind of intention towards me?"

"You didn't notice?" Sang Wan swallowed a dumpling. The warm food entered her stomach, and her internal organs felt a little relieved. "When he saved you and was tied up in the water dungeon, didn't you realize that he had feelings for you?"

"Oh!" Yan Hong sighed, supporting her cheek with her hands on her knees.

"The first person I met in the Ghost Market was Brother Qingshan. His mother treated me like her own daughter. Whenever she had something delicious, she would always think of me having a bite. I always treated him as my own brother and never thought of it that way."

Sang Wan took a sip of the soup and licked his lips. The dumplings were really delicious, and even the soup was flavorful.

"I never thought about it before, but today I can think about it carefully. Do you like Xiaoshun, or do you prefer Qingshan?"

Sang Wan said bluntly, "When it comes to relationships, the sooner you make things clear, the better. If you drag it out, it will only make you hurt later."

Although sometimes it is useless to explain it clearly.

Yan Hong pursed her lips, resting her head on her hands, staring blankly at the weeds in front of the steps: "Ke Shun never said he liked me."

"Ah!" Sang Wan roughly understood, "You like Xiao Shun."

Yan Hong's thoughts were exposed. She covered her face and ran out: "Oh, Master, please don't laugh at me. I'm going to sleep."

"Hey, why are you walking so fast? Don't you want the dumplings?"

"Please eat!" Yan Hong's voice faded away.

Sang Wan shook her head and smiled, girls are just thin-skinned.

"Come down, have you heard what's going on from the corner?" she shouted towards the eaves.

A dark shadow rolled down, and Xiao Shun scratched his head: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

"Look, the girls all say you don't take the initiative." Sang Wan glared at him, "Why don't you say you like it?"

Xiao Shun lowered his head and stared at the ground in silence.

"You're such a dull person." Sang Wan said angrily.

"Qingshan treats me like a brother. If I tell him, I will be sorry. I..."

Sang Wan shook his head like a rattle, feeling quite speechless, like Wu Yu's mother opening the door for Wu Yu.

She stuffed the soup bowl into Xiaoshun's hand and said, "Go, wash the bowl, and wash your brain as well."

Xiao Shun stood stupidly in the yard holding the bowl, like a wooden stake.

The next day, Xiao Ji went to ask for permission to take Sang Wan with him.

Sang Wan thought of the commotion in the palace, and took advantage of the lack of manpower in the palace to prepare for the selection, so she arranged Yan Hong to go in.

She is quick-witted and skilled, making her the most suitable candidate.

Yanhong was worried that she couldn't escape Xiaoshun and Qingshan, so she went into the palace to find some peace and quiet, getting the best of both worlds.

The reward carriage will set off in a grand procession to Lingnan at the end of August.

Before leaving, Sang Wan unexpectedly saw the Yan brothers and sisters.

Yan Qianzhi smiled brightly: "Ah Wan, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Sang Wan felt like she had been hit by a club and couldn't even smile.

She looked at Xiao Ji helplessly, and Xiao Ji spread his hands to indicate that he didn't know either:

"The reward should have been accompanied by an official from the Ministry of Rites, but Minister Yan volunteered. I guess he heard rumors that you were going to go."

The red official robe made Yan Yun look more elegant and vigorous than in her usual attire.

He walked towards Sang Wan and Xiao Ji, bowed, raised his eyes and smiled softly:

"Thank you, Your Highness and Princess. The journey to Lingnan is approximately 3,700 miles, and the official road is winding. If you get tired along the way, we can stop and rest at any time."

"I miss Chao Ge too." Yan Qianzhi hugged Sang Wan's arm and swung it affectionately:

"I've been begging my father and brother for days. It's so nice that we can spend the journey together to entertain ourselves. Look, I brought all the dominoes with me."

"Ahem...pay attention to etiquette." Yan Yun put her fist under her nose, feeling a little embarrassed. "Your Highness, I apologize for my rude behavior."

"It's okay. It's hot. Let's get in the car." Xiao Ji didn't want to delay for a moment.

Over the past six months, he wrote countless letters to Qiu Chaoge, but none of them went to fruition. His heart had long since flown to Lingnan.

Sang Wan and Yan Qianzhi were in one carriage, while Yan Yun and Xiao Ji were in another.

Yan Qianzhi asked the maid to set up the fruit plate, put ice cubes in the copper basin to cool it down, and even prepared iced sour plum drink.

"Drink quickly, it's too hot." She fanned herself, beads of sweat on her forehead.

Sang Wan glanced at her and said, "You are forcing yourself to endure hardship."

"You want to avoid my brother, right?" Yan Qianzhi poked her elbow and said with a smile, "What's wrong with my brother?"

Sang Wan scooped a spoonful of sour plum soup, the icy smoothie almost freezing her teeth off. She sobbed, "Your brother is great in every way, but I'm not worthy of him. I'm so vulgar, how can I be the daughter-in-law of your Yan family?"

"Nonsense. It's because others don't understand you well."

Yan Qianzhi picked up a piece of watermelon and put it into her mouth, eating the watermelon while fanning herself, looking very comfortable.

"You know, my father is an extremely stubborn man. He always talks about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, but he thinks very highly of you. He said that those who do favors without asking for anything in return are the ones who are righteous. If you were a man, you would pay your respects to the general."

Sang Wan Gao raised his eyebrows, very surprised: "Wow, did Prime Minister Yan really say that?"

"Of course. My father has always been strict and rarely praises anyone. Even my brother, who is so outstanding, rarely gets his praise. Tell me, are you excellent, excellent? My brother's standards are extremely high, and he fell in love with you at first sight. Ah Wan, be my sister-in-law. You will know in the future that my brother is very caring."

"Well, you're not here to suffer, you're here to lobby." Sang Wan smiled and scooped a bowl of sour plum soup for her. "You must be tired of talking. Drink a bowl to cool down."

"Although Shi Luochuan is a disciple of the emperor, he has no foundation in the court, so how can he be worthy of you? Not to mention Bailixi, he is a rough and uncouth man, how can he know how to be kind to others? Ah Wan, look around, who is better than my brother?"

She opened her round eyes, with sweat on her nose, looking both sincere and cute.

"My brother." Sang Wan laughed, "In my heart, you are better than me."

"Hateful." Yan Qianzhi tickled her armpits. "No matter how good your brother is, he still belongs to Chao Ge."

"You know?" Sang Wan was so shocked that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand.

"My eyes are not in vain." Yan Xizhi blinked, "Your brother and Sister Chaoge are together, and it's obvious that they are in love."

Shh! Sang Wan put her finger to the corner of her lips, "You didn't tell anyone else, did you?"

"Of course not!" Yan Xizhi swore to the heavens, "I didn't even tell my brother."

"That's good." Sang Wan patted his chest.

"The royal family cannot marry military commanders. My brother has been unable to respond to Sister Chaoge for many years because of this."

Yan Qianzhi nodded vigorously: "I understand, I understand. So, if you marry my brother, His Majesty won't urge Xiao Ji to get engaged."

Sang Wan was completely confused: "What does this have to do with anything?"
