"Sister-in-law, I know what you're worried about. Mu Yao's judgment in repaying a life-saving debt with her body is not that bad."

Her marriage was definitely arranged by her father and mother. I've inquired about Lu Huai'an; he's just an illegitimate son.

Chu Yungui shook his head. In fact, he had made a special inquiry after the incident.

The Lu family's status is not worthy of marrying a princess. If it were a legitimate son, it would be fine, but a son born out of wedlock is just wishful thinking!

Song Ruozhen knew that everyone valued the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate sons. However, illegitimate sons would use any means to get ahead, and besides, Lu Huai'an, whom she had met today, was not exactly a good person.

Chu Yungui hadn't taken the matter to heart at all. He thought Mu Yao had good judgment and was smart enough not to be easily fooled.

However, seeing Song Ruozhen's noncommittal attitude, his heart began to race. "No way? She suddenly went blind?"

Chu Junting glanced at Chu Yungui with disdain, then said to Song Ruozhen, "I will send someone to investigate Lu Huai'an's situation. I won't let him deceive Mu Yao."

Song Ruozhen nodded, "You are her brothers, it's always good to show some concern."

Your older brother's words always carry some weight.

Just as the three arrived at the restaurant, they heard lively sounds ahead and saw a familiar figure.

"Huan'er?"

Song Ruozhen looked at the person not far away with surprise; it was her cousin, Gu Huan'er.

"Cousin, what a coincidence!"

As soon as Gu Huan'er saw Song Ruozhen, her face lit up with joy. She giggled and ran over, her gaze involuntarily falling on Chu Yungui beside her before quickly looking away.

“We happened to be outside at mealtime, and Prince Yun said the food here was quite good, so we came together.”

"So His Highness Prince Yun also likes the food here."

Gu Huan'er couldn't help but look at Chu Yungui, feeling a little secretly pleased. Apart from banquets and some special occasions, it wasn't easy for her to take the initiative to see His Highness Prince Yun.

She was very happy to have bumped into him today.

"I happened to hear about this place, so I came to try it," Chu Yungui replied.

“I know which of the restaurant’s signature dishes are the best. How about I recommend them to you?” Gu Huan’er suggested.

Song Ruozhen smiled and nodded, her gaze falling on a group of people not far away. Gu Huan'er had been with them earlier. "Are those all your friends?"

"Yes, I didn't originally plan to come today, but I was dragged here and couldn't refuse," Gu Huan'er explained softly.

Ever since she learned that her cousin had returned, she had wanted to visit her, but she had caught a cold a few days ago and was too embarrassed to go out for fear of infecting her cousin.

She had finally felt a little better today, but then she was dragged here again. However, it was a friend's birthday party, so she couldn't refuse.

Song Ruozhen understood. "Are you feeling any better? I heard from your uncle last time that you caught a cold."

"I'm much better now, and seeing my cousin makes me feel completely better," Gu Huan'er said with a smile.

Chu Yungui scrutinized Gu Huan'er's features, and the words his elder brother had said before involuntarily surfaced in his mind. He had said that the two of them were a good match. But how exactly were they a good match?

Just then, a figure rushed over.

"Huan'er, what are you still doing here? Everyone is waiting for you. Yuan Qing specially invited you here today."

The woman held Gu Huan'er's arm, her expression full of anxiety, but her gaze unconsciously fell on Chu Yungui and the others, and the next moment she revealed a look of panic.

"Greetings, Your Highnesses. I was unaware that you were two princes. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter."

Chu Junting and Chu Yungui obviously didn't care. They were just there to dine at the restaurant, and besides, the girl hadn't done anything wrong.

When Chu Yungui heard the name Yuan Qing, he unconsciously raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Huan'er. What was the relationship between the two of them?

"Wang Xue, don't talk nonsense!"

Gu Huan'er became anxious upon hearing this. Yuan Qing did indeed have feelings for her, but she only liked Prince Yun.

If Wang Xue hadn't dragged her here today, she wouldn't have wanted to come at all. Now that she's here, she's thinking of finding an opportunity to clarify things with Yuan Qing to avoid any misunderstandings later.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xue seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered her mouth, saying, "It's all my fault, I said the wrong thing, Your Highness, please don't misunderstand Huan'er."

However, seeing this scene, Song Ruozhen and the others couldn't help but frown.

what is this?

This is like trying to hide something obvious; the more you try to explain, the worse it gets.

Just then, shouts came from behind, "Huan'er, Wang Xue, come quick! We're just waiting for you!"

Chu Yungui glanced at the people behind him and said, "You'd better hurry up and go, they're all waiting for you."

When Gu Huan'er saw that Chu Yungui's expression was a bit cold, as if he was unhappy about her appearance, her heart sank. She had originally thought that since they had bumped into each other so coincidentally, she might as well take this opportunity to have a meal with her cousin and the others.

However, it seemed that His Highness Prince Yun had never liked her, and she had no choice but to reply, "Yes, Your Highness."

With that, Gu Huan'er pulled Wang Xue away.

Seeing Gu Huan'er turn and leave without hesitation, Chu Yungui's gaze fell on the man waiting for them not far away.

The man, dressed in a blue robe, was quite handsome. Upon seeing Gu Huan'er, he greeted her with a warm smile, presumably the Yuan Qing they had been talking about.

"Let's eat too, we're all hungry."

Chu Yungui turned around and walked into the house.

Song Ruozhen glanced at Chu Junting beside her, a playful smile playing on her lips, and said, "Is the Prince of Yun... having second thoughts?"

She knew long ago that Huan'er liked Yun Wang, but the two had met several times with bad luck, which made Yun Wang feel unlucky whenever he saw her.

After that, she went to Pingyang City and has only recently returned. However, judging from Chu Yungui's reaction, she doesn't dislike Huan'er; in fact, she cares about her a little.

After all, an insignificant person has absolutely no influence on one's emotions.

Chu Junting nodded, "Although he seems unrestrained on the surface, he is actually quite eccentric. He won't say what he likes outright, but if he really falls for someone, he'll have plenty of time to show off in the future."

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, given Chu Yungui's personality, it was indeed possible.

When you don't like something, it's nothing; when you do like something, you can't wait to show it off and let everyone know.

If he were to truly be with Huan'er, they would be a pair of bickering lovers.

……

After Lu Huai'an escorted Chu Muyao back to the palace, his expression darkened.

“Isn’t Song Ruozhen your cousin? You didn’t even know the situation beforehand. After all this commotion today, I feel uneasy. I’m afraid things won’t go so smoothly.”

Lu Huai'an looked at Song Biyun with displeasure. If she hadn't failed to explain herself clearly, things wouldn't have turned out this way today.
