"So you've been avoiding him all this time?" Shen Wan asked.

"..."

In the end, she couldn't hide it from her cousin.

Shen Wan said, "But you probably didn't dodge it, right?"

Yunrui, "..."

I feel like I have no secrets from my cousin.

Yunrui's face flushed again.

Yunrui said, "If you tease me again, I'm leaving."

Seeing her face turn so red it was almost bleeding, Shen Wan stopped teasing her and instead instructed Haitang, "Go to the street and buy some candied fruit. If you run into the Prince of Yanping and his family, ask them to help you inquire about the character of the Third Young Master Li from the Honglu Temple."

Haitang covered her mouth and retreated.

Yunrui was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "Yanping Prince and others" that Shen Wan mentioned included the Xuanping Marquis's heir.

Yunrui, "..."

On Changping Street, the Prince of Yanping and several others rode on horseback, leisurely patrolling the streets.

Haitang ran into them after buying the candied fruit, so she quickly went to greet them.

The Prince of Yanping recognized Haitang, and Haitang curtsied to them, saying, "Greetings, Your Highnesses."

The Crown Prince of Yanping asked, "Do you need something from us?"

Haitang said, "The Yun family asked my princess to help inquire about the character of the third young master of the Honglu Temple Minister's mansion. The princess said that the young masters are the most well-informed, and asked me to ask them for help."

Lu Cheng's face turned a little green.

Tang Ze laughed and said, "Your Highness has come to the right people. Don't worry, we will find out everything clearly."

Seeing that they agreed, Haitang curtsied and left.

After Haitang left, Tang Ze looked at Lu Cheng and said, "As far as I know, Young Master Li is of good character. If you don't hurry up, the Yun family might really agree to the marriage."

Lu Cheng, perched on horseback, looked utterly dejected. "Do you think I don't want to?"

At the palace banquet the day before yesterday, a minister wanted to marry his daughter to him and chatted with his father. After returning home, his father told his mother about it. Seeing that the opportunity was rare, he protested from the side, saying that he already had someone he liked.

His father asked him which girl he had his eye on, and he stammered that his parents wouldn't approve of the girl he liked. Then his mother got furious, saying that if he knew they wouldn't agree, he shouldn't have brought it up, and then she kicked him out.

Lu Cheng said in despair, "Forget about helping me propose marriage, my mother won't even give me a chance to speak..."

God knows why his mother reacted so strongly.
