How could it be that he, as the prime minister, with a great reputation, could not see that this kind of woman was a disaster?

How could she compare to Xiaoyi?

Pei Yunchu rode his horse all the way and arrived at the west of the city in the time it took to stick of incense.

He didn't have to bother looking for it.

Song Hanchuan made a big fuss and just walked towards where there were a lot of people and he found the place.

When he looked up, he saw the two large gold-plated characters "Chen Mansion" engraved on the plaque of the gate. Without thinking much, Pei Yunchu threw the reins to his follower and strode over the threshold.

"Hey, it seems I came at the right time. Are you all here?"

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Pei Yunchu said something nonchalantly.

In the main seat, Chen Ningzhu Liu Zhiyi was lying on the mahogany table in front of her, happily looking at the dozens of meters long betrothal gift list in her hand.

On the other side, Song Hanchuan sat stiffly, with a hint of caution in his eyes.

The morning light fell on him, casting a faint halo around him.

He always dressed plainly, and this was the first time he wore a bright red robe. The bright color made him look even more elegant and graceful.

Xiaoyi has said many times that she loves gold, silver and jewelry the most. I wonder if today's betrothal gift is to her liking?

The sudden voice made him frown and turn to look at the person who came. Shen Ningzhu and the other person also slowly raised their heads.

The two best friends looked at each other, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.

Pei Yunchu strode in and sat in the seat below, facing Song Hanchuan.

From beginning to end, she didn't even glance at her two best friends. Instead, from the moment she entered the door, her eyes were fixed on Song Hanchuan with a cold expression.

Shen Ningzhu was stunned for a moment.

She knew that Pei Yunchu liked Xiaoyi before, and thought that he was here to mess things up, but now that he saw Xiaoyi resurrected from the dead, he turned a deaf ear to her and stared at Song Hanchuan instead.

Could it be that something happened during the three years since I was away that they don’t know about?

Secretly winking at Liu Zhiyi.

His eyes asked, what's going on? They...

Chen Ningzhu had a sneaky look in her eyes and made an ambiguous gesture with her thumbs. Seeing this, Liu Zhiyi couldn't help but twitch her lips and glanced at her best friend in annoyance.

Song Hanchuan is not blind, so he would not fall for Pei Yunchu.

Now, Chen Ningzhu was a little confused. If it wasn't the case, then why did he come here as if he was catching an adulterer, and why did he look at Song Hanchuan as if he was a heartless man?

Song Hanchuan's face looked a little ugly.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, nothing else, I just want to see what kind of woman you're willing to marry after spending all your money on her. Is she worthy of serving Xiaoyi footbath water?"

The man leaned back on the carved mahogany chair without any image, looking like a dandy scoundrel, and spoke lazily.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.

"that……"

Chen Ningzhu wanted to ask this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes whether he had figured out who Song Hanchuan was marrying today.

The imperial edict actually had Liu Zhiyi's name written on it.

Or you can just look up.

Unfortunately, just as he opened his mouth and uttered two words, he was yelled at by the other party.

"Shut up! I'm talking to Mr. Song, do you have the right to interrupt me, a bitch?"

“…”

???

Shen Ningzhu laughed angrily.

Okay, okay, you deserve that you can't catch up with Xiaoyi. With your stupid and idiotic behavior, you are destined to be alone.

Today is a good day for him and Xiaoyi. Song Hanchuan doesn't want anything to go wrong. He raises his finger slightly and Qingyun strides forward.

He bowed to Pei Yunchu and said,

"General Pei, please leave. You are not welcome here."

Pei Yunchu sneered, leaned back, and slumped in the armchair, crossing his legs with one corner of his lips raised, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

The tone suddenly turned cold.

"Song Hanchuan, I told you that Xiaoyi's body is still warm. If she knew you were marrying someone else, she would be very sad. How could you bear to make her sad?"

"I don't care. You must cancel the engagement today. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Song Hanchuan smiled. It was a faint smile, but it made Pei Yunchu feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"How are you going to be rude?"

Pei Yunchu was about to blurt out that he would personally destroy everything here, but suddenly remembered that this was an imperial decree for the marriage.

What does a three-year-old baby know about arranged marriage?

It was clearly a man named Song who used his position to arrange the marriage for himself.

Damn Song Hanchuan, he actually tricked him.

I was so angry, but I couldn't openly disobey the order, so I had to endure the frustration and find another way to solve the problem. So, I patiently said,

"Song Hanchuan, Xiaoyi loved you so much when he was alive. Even if you want to marry someone else, don't do it now. At least wait until Xiaoyi's three-year mourning period is over and he has been reincarnated."

Liu Zhiyi took a deep breath in the corner, stood up, and said,

"I'm sorry, I'm still alive and well, so don't worry about me."

"If you have nothing else, please..."

Before he could finish his words, Pei Yunchu rushed over like a cannonball and hugged him tightly.

“Little…little…”

"Pei Yunchu, let me go."

"I won't. I won't let go even if I die. Xiaoyi, is it really you? Is it really you?"

"How could this be? How is this possible? I must be dreaming. Xiaoyi is still alive. Are you really still alive?"

Pei Yunchu felt as if he was walking on clouds at this moment, his mind was blank, as if he was dreaming.

There was a buzzing sound all around my ears.

But the soft touch in his arms, the familiar fragrance of the woman, all of this was so real.

At this moment, he finally confirmed that his Xiaoyi was still alive and well and appeared in front of him.

The joy of regaining what he had lost completely overwhelmed him at this moment. The beautiful woman he had been dreaming about was now truly back by his side.

I swore secretly in my heart,

This time, he will never let go.

He wanted her to be his proper general's wife, the future mistress of the Marquis's mansion. He wanted to personally ask for a decree for her, and allow her to be his only wife for the rest of her life.

He didn't notice at all that the woman in his arms had a cold face and eyes full of disgust.

She was raising her hand to push him away.

Then I heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from not far away.

When the Marquis' wife heard from her servants that her son was going to cause a scene at the Prime Minister's proposal, she fainted from anger.

While cursing his family's misfortune, he called his servants over and prepared to tie the man up and take him back.

Who knew that as soon as I came in, I would see this scene.

The son who had been lifeless and like a walking corpse for three years was actually hugging a woman tightly, smiling happily.

Ah, this...

What kind of extraordinary woman could break the curse of that lowly maid and allow her son, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, to stand up again, his whole body glowing with brilliant light?

I think he is a capable person.

In that case, there's no harm in letting her in.
