Zisu: "Let me tell you straight, my mother is pregnant now, and my uncle's family wants to kill my mother and the child in her womb."

Xiao Fan: "Why?"

Zisu: "Isn't it all for the Marquis's title? They want to eliminate him completely!"

Xiao Fan: "So, what do you want me to do?"

Zisu: "Take drastic measures! Help me get His Majesty to revoke the title of Marquis of Changning!"

Xiao Fan: "Hmm, that's feasible! Logically speaking, your uncle's mother was only a secondary wife, and she was promoted from a concubine to the principal wife. Therefore, your uncle is not a legitimate son. Under these circumstances, His Majesty has the right to revoke the title of Marquis of Changning!"

Upon hearing this, Zisu was overjoyed, but remained outwardly composed. She rose from her seat and bowed respectfully to Xiao Fan at a ninety-degree angle: "I beg you, Your Highness! If Your Highness is willing to lend a helping hand, Zisu's wish will surely be fulfilled. At that time, Zisu will keep her promise and persuade her mother to dissolve her engagement with Your Highness!"

Xiao Fan: "Alright, I'll do my best!" This matter isn't difficult; as long as my father intervenes, it can definitely be accomplished. Now that Zisu's father has passed away, she won't gain any benefit from the marriage alliance with the Shangguan family. My father is more than willing to annul this marriage!

Zisu: "Thank you! But Young Master, you need to act quickly. As far as I know, my mother will be sent to a remote and desolate mountain manor in four days. Once my mother leaves, there will be no elder to help dissolve her engagement with you!"

"What? Shangguan Chengfeng is in such a hurry?" Xiao Fan was a little surprised, then nodded and said, "Alright, I understand! Tomorrow, I will give you a satisfactory answer! Now, I must go back to my father, farewell!"

After saying that, Xiao Fan pushed open the door to the private room and left first.

Waiting is always agonizing.

On this night of waiting, Zisu could hardly sleep.

Will Prince Rong'an be willing to help? Or rather, does Prince Rong'an even have the ability? This is her only hope; if she cannot get what she wants, her future, that of her mother and younger brother, will be uncertain.

She tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep. It wasn't until dawn that she finally drifted off. She slept for several hours, even missing lunch.

After getting up, while eating her late lunch, Xiangli rushed in in a panic, saying, "Miss, someone is looking for you at the door. They say they're from Shili Xiang and ask you to go there!"

Zisu quickly instructed, "Go tell Granny Jiang to go find Old Jiang and prepare the carriage. Wait at the side gate in a quarter of an hour!"

At Shili Xiang, Zisu indeed saw Xiao Fan again. Before she even sat down, she hurriedly asked, "How did it go? Did it go smoothly?"

Xiao Fan rolled his eyes at her: "With me in charge, everything will go smoothly! It's all settled. Tomorrow morning, an angel will come to your house to read the imperial decree!" He looked very smug.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Zisu said sincerely.

Regardless of their past lives, at least at this moment, he did indeed help her a great deal.

Xiao Fan: "Then, can we begin the process of annulling the engagement?"

Zisu: "After the angel reads the imperial decree tomorrow, I will definitely keep my promise. You can come to Shilixiang to exchange tokens for annulment, or you can bring the tokens to my house to annul the engagement. It's your choice!"
