Upon hearing this, Huang Shiting glanced at Yun Chengze unconsciously, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Since their last meeting, she noticed that Yun Chengze's attitude was very cold. Even though she had little experience in this area, she knew that it wasn't the way one should treat someone they liked.

He didn't come to see her voluntarily; it was only through the help of his elders that he had the opportunity to meet her. Even when he left, his attitude was very clear: he had no intention of getting married, and she shouldn't waste her time on him.

However, she fell in love with Yun Chengze at first sight, and now that she's reached marriageable age, she wants to give it a try.

Since he doesn't have someone he likes, I might not have no chance at all.

Upon hearing this, Yun Chengze knew that Nianchu was angry with him, so he said, "Be careful with your words and actions. Don't say things that aren't true, lest you ruin Miss Huang's reputation."

"That's not true?"

A look of surprise flashed across Yun Nianchu's eyes. She unconsciously looked at Huang Shiting and saw a look of disappointment on her face.

Her gaze unconsciously shifted slightly; it seemed this girl was just like her...

Seeing Huang Shiting's dejected expression, almost on the verge of tears, Luo Huaili still maintained the decorum of a well-bred young lady and gave her a gentle smile.

"Let's watch the play instead. This play has been very popular in the capital recently. I had only heard about it before, but today I finally have the chance to see it for myself."

Song Ruozhen glanced at the situation of Yun Nianchu and the other three. Even from a distance, she could feel the awkwardness at their table.

A date between four people, each with their own agenda, is bound to be incredibly awkward.

However, Nianchu only came out to watch the show today, but Yun Chengze hurriedly chased after her, so it seems that the unspoken understanding between them is about to be revealed.

"Fifth sister, I don't think Yun Chengze will let go." Song Jingshen lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I felt before that their relationship was unusual. Yun Chengze is quite aloof, but he is really good to Nianchu."

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, "I can see that."

One reason why Nianchu has been unable to let go of Yun Chengze all these years is that Yun Chengze has truly treated her well.

He brought her an umbrella when it rained, found her a doctor when she was sick, and even when Aunt Zhang wasn't around during her first period, it was Yun Chengze who took care of her.

As her best friend, Yun Nianchu told the original owner all these things. After receiving the original owner's memories, she naturally also knew all of this, so she could understand why Yun Nianchu couldn't let go.

Imagine a top-tier handsome man who spends every day by your side, showering you with care and attention. Although he may not be very talkative, he takes care of everything you need. Moreover, there are no other women around him. It's really hard to ignore him...

“I’m not actually worried about Yun Chengze and Nianchu, but Luo Huaili is also a very good person.”

Song Ruozhen did some quick calculations, then her gaze fell on Luo Huaili and Huang Shiting, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

As expected, fate has its own plan.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chu Junting stood up. They had just agreed to go to the Zhao family together, but he saw Song Ruozhen and Song Jingshen looking into the distance, talking about something.

His gaze followed the direction and he saw Yun Nianchu and the others, and a sense of understanding dawned on him.

"They're just watching the show." Song Ruozhen smiled slightly. "Let's go."

Chu Junting nodded and walked out first, but deliberately slowed his pace, waiting for Song Ruozhen to walk to his side.

Song Jingshen and Chu Yungui exchanged a perceptive glance and walked behind the two.

“My father went to the palace today. So many things happened in Pingyang City before. Now that he’s back, I wonder if everything went smoothly?” Song Ruozhen asked.

"Don't worry, my uncle is a loyal minister. The reason he stayed in Pingyang City for so long was because he was forced to."

The other deputy generals also entered the palace today. The Emperor had previously lamented my uncle's death on the battlefield, and now he is very happy to see him return.

Hearing this, Song Ruozhen felt relieved. "That's good."

“I know that after my uncle comes back, he will definitely not let go of what happened on the battlefield. However, so much time has passed and the other side has already used its methods, so it will not be easy to overturn the case.”

When you get back, you might try to persuade your uncle not to rush things; the truth will come out sooner or later.

"I see."

Song Ruozhen gave Chu Junting a deep look. He had indeed guessed what his father was thinking. However, this matter would not be easy to handle, but black cannot be turned into white, and the truth will eventually come out.

Zhao family.

"Xu Bai, I beg you, please eat something. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it!"

Zhao's mother looked heartbroken as she watched her once healthy son grow thinner and thinner each day, lose his appetite, and lock himself in his room every day, refusing to even leave the house. She felt extremely distressed.

"Mother, I really don't want to eat."

Zhao Xubai's face was pale, but a smile appeared on his face.

"I know you're worried about me, but I'm really fine, I just want to sleep for a while."

"Still want to sleep? Do you know you sleep all day long? If you keep sleeping like this, you'll lose all your energy!"

When Zhao's mother heard that her son wanted to sleep more, she felt like she was going to collapse. At first, she didn't know and thought that sleeping more was a good thing. But when she saw her son sleeping all day and getting weaker day by day, she realized that something was wrong.

He was especially furious when he heard his son and servant say that he dreamed of a girl he liked and that he only wanted to be with her.

"Can a girl in your dreams count? There are so many beautiful girls in the capital. Which one do you like? We'll go and propose. Why always think about those ethereal girls in your dreams?"

Zhao Xubai's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Mother, you don't know, Miaomiao is my favorite girl, and I will only love her in this life!"

"I think you've really gone mad!" Zhao's mother frowned, thinking about finding a high-ranking monk from a temple to take a look. Her son didn't seem to be sick; he seemed more like he was possessed!

How can you take something so ethereal and unreal as real?

If this gets out, it'll be a complete joke!

However, Zhao Xubai seemed indifferent, saying, "I only like Miaomiao, and if I were to get married, I would only marry her."

"A woman from a dream, you want to marry her? How? Just by dreaming about her every day and being with her in your dreams?" Zhao's mother said incredulously.

Zhao Xubai nodded, "That's right, she has agreed to marry me, and I want to marry her!"

When Song Ruozhen and her group arrived, they overheard this conversation outside. The group exchanged glances, realizing the situation was dire.

“I heard him say something like that when I came here a few days ago. He only said that he wanted to marry that girl, but I don’t know if she will agree to it.”

"Now look what's happened! This girl has agreed, and they're even planning to get married!" Chu Yungui said in disbelief.
