But he can't say nothing either, he's counting on them to give him advice.

After leaving the Ling Prince's residence, Lu Cheng said, "I need your help with something. Let's find a place to sit down and talk."

Tang Ze and the Crown Prince of Yanping exchanged a glance.

I felt a mix of trust and pressure coming at me.

Previously at Deyuelou, Shen Du and Cheng Yi were both there, but Lu Cheng didn't ask them for help.

Even at the Ling Prince's residence, he didn't ask the Ling Prince for help, and only spoke up after leaving the residence, clearly showing that he trusted the two of them the most.

I just don't know what Lu Cheng needs their help with...

Lu Cheng trusts them so much that he's not afraid they'll come up with bad ideas to trick him, so they must do their utmost to help him.

The three of them went to Deyuelou again and ordered the same private room as before.

Lu Cheng poured each of them a cup of tea, and Tang Ze asked, "What do you need our help with?"

Lu Cheng said, "I found the girl who tricked me."

Tang Ze, "...???"

You were really angry yesterday, and you found it today?

Tang Ze asked, "Whose daughter dares to play tricks on you, the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping?"

"The Yun family."

Tang Ze, "..."

Prince Yanping, “…”

The two were stunned.

The Prince of Yanping said, "How could the Yun family's daughter dare to play tricks on you?"

Lu Cheng then said, "I misunderstood. She wasn't playing a trick on me; she was deliberately avoiding me."

The Second Miss Yun was sincere and clear-headed from beginning to end. As soon as she heard that he was the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping, she said that she was not worthy of his status and turned to leave.

He thought the two families were sworn enemies because the other party left so decisively. Who would have thought that the other party's words, "I can't afford to associate with you," were not sarcasm, but the truth.

He had witnessed firsthand how difficult it was for Yun Qi to marry the Princess of Qinghe County of the Yanping Prince's Mansion. Although the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion was not as prestigious as the Yanping Prince's Mansion, his parents would certainly not agree to his marriage to the Second Miss Yun.

But he rarely liked a girl. He had hugged her, kissed her, and even... He had ruined her reputation, so he had to take responsibility for her.

Lu Cheng looked at Tang Ze, then at the Prince of Yanping, and said, "I want to marry her."

Tang Ze asked, "Will your uncle and aunt agree?"

"I knew they wouldn't agree, that's why I asked you for advice. How can I convince my parents to help me propose to the Yun family?" Lu Cheng asked with a troubled expression.

"..."

The Crown Prince of Yanping looked at Lu Cheng and asked, "Are you absolutely determined to marry her?"

Lu Cheng nodded emphatically.

Tang Ze said, "This is no small matter."

Lu Cheng sighed, "I know, but since the Marquis of Pingyang has already married one, why can't I?"

Although that's what they say, they all know that the Marquis of Pingyang was forced to marry the daughter of the Yun family. The Marquis of Pingyang was plotted against, and it was the Marquis's wife who risked her life to save him. Even so, the old lady of the Marquis's mansion did not want to give her the position of principal wife. It was the Marquis of Pingyang who was loyal and righteous, and brought her into the family with a grand wedding procession. The Marquis of Pingyang had saved the emperor's life and was deeply trusted by the emperor. The background of the Marquis's wife was often criticized.

Of course, the Yun family today is not comparable to the Yun family of twenty years ago. Not only does it have the Marquis of Pingyang, who holds great military power, as its son-in-law, but its granddaughter is the Princess Consort of Ling, Yun Qi is about to marry the Princess of Qinghe County, and the eldest daughter of the Yun family is marrying into the residence of the Vice Minister...

Even so, there is still a huge chasm between the Yun family and the Xuanping Marquis's mansion.

The Prince of Yanping knew all too well what Lu Cheng's parents thought about his desire to marry Miss Yun.

Tang Ze asked Lu Cheng, "Didn't you try to bring this up with your uncle and aunt?"

Lu Cheng twirled his teacup in frustration. "How could I dare? I'm afraid if I bring it up today, my parents will arrange a marriage for me that I don't want tomorrow."

He knew his own parents better than anyone.

Either don't bring it up at all, or if you do, it must be done; otherwise, it's just creating unnecessary trouble and making things difficult for yourself.

Seeing that Tang Ze and the Prince of Yanping were both looking at him, Lu Cheng said, "Don't look at me, quickly help me think of a solution."

They can help with other things, but they wouldn't dare to do this.

If Marquis Xuanping and his wife find out, they will force Lu Cheng to sever ties with them.

The Prince of Yanping said, "I think that if you want your uncle and aunt to agree, you can only turn the matter of marrying Miss Yun into a good thing."

"...How can this change?" Lu Cheng asked, puzzled.

The Crown Prince of Yanping patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder and said, "That depends on your own abilities."

After Prince Yanping and Tang Ze left, Lu Cheng remained there, pondering what Prince Yanping had said.

It's a pity about his injured head; if he thinks about it for even a little while, his vision starts to go black.

Terrified, Lu Cheng dared not think any further and rode back to his residence.

On his way back to the manor, as he passed by the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he realized the brilliance of the advice given to him by the Prince of Yanping.

...

As for Shen Wan, after the Prince of Yanping and his entourage left, she went back to her room for a nap.

I slept for a full hour before waking up. When I woke up, I sat on the bed and rubbed my neck. Just then, I heard a "bang" from outside the door.

Haitang walked in, and Shen Wan asked, "What happened?"

Haitang covered her mouth and laughed, replying, "Yesterday, Yinshuang went shopping with the Princess and saw a silver hairpin she liked. She wanted to buy it but couldn't bear to part with it. Chen Feng noticed and bought it, but he was too embarrassed to give it to Yinshuang. After hesitating several times, Chen Yu couldn't stand it and helped Chen Feng out. Just now, Yinshuang brought hot water into the room to help the Princess get up, and Chen Yu kicked Chen Feng at her, startling Yinshuang, who accidentally spilled the water..."

Shen Wan, "..."

A dark line slid down his forehead.

No one gives gifts like Chen Feng. Before, when he gave silver, he deliberately stepped on Yin Shuang's foot. Today, when he gave her a hairpin, Yin Shuang knocked over the copper basin.

Shen Wan asked, "Where is Yinshuang?"

Haitang laughed so hard her shoulders shook like a sieve. "Yinshuang was soaked in water. She was so angry she almost died and went back to change her clothes."

Shen Wan shook her head and chuckled.

The fact that Chen Feng thought of giving Yin Shuang a hairpin shows that he likes her. Yin Shuang is her maid, and Chen Feng is Xie Jingyan's bodyguard; they are quite a good match.

When Yinshuang returned after changing her clothes, her anger hadn't subsided. Chen Wan saw her and said, "Are you still angry with Chen Feng?"

Silver Frost puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "Nothing good ever comes from running into him."

Shen Wan teased, "You don't even dare to give me a hairpin? Are you scared of that slap you gave me?"

boom.

Yinshuang blushed deeply and stamped her foot, saying, "No one, Your Highness, would tease me like that!"

"Chen Feng is the prince's bodyguard, how could he be afraid of a servant?"

Haitang said, "That's not necessarily true. Even if Chen Yu wanted to slap Chen Feng, he might not be able to do it."

How could the princess and Haitang still remember this after all this time?

Not only did he remember it, but he also used it to tease her.

Yinshuang was easily embarrassed and couldn't stand the teasing, so she stomped her feet and ran away.

He ran off and was nowhere to be seen until dinner time, taking over the work of the maid in the courtyard and sweeping the yard all afternoon.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan were having dinner when Yin Shuang came in hesitantly. Shen Wan looked at her and asked, "Have you finally decided to put down the broom?"

Yinshuang blushed and said, "The maidservant from the front courtyard came to report that the Crown Prince of Cheng is critically ill and they urgently need to summon Doctor Tao to treat him..."
