He had to hurry back to the palace to report this good news to His Majesty. The princess and the prince had easily earned 700,000 taels of silver in just one day. His Majesty must be very happy.

Qin Xue was taken away, and Li Shuhuai was so frightened that he rushed back to the mansion to report the news. Su Luoqing looked at the man who was running away in a panic, completely lacking his usual gentle demeanor, and was once again glad that she had seen through his true colors before marriage.

All that's left is for the Crown Prince to make a trip to the Su residence, and for her grandfather to recover so he can take her to the Li family to annul the engagement.

With the weight lifted from her shoulders, Su Luoqing felt much relieved and couldn't help but look at Ye Zhen with gratitude.

A man walked up to Ye Zhen and said, "Greetings, Princess Zhaoning. I am Su Yucheng from the Ministry of War. I admire Your Highness's benevolence and wish to cooperate with the Charity Hall. Would Your Highness be so kind as to step forward and speak with me?"

He is Su Yanwan's older brother.

Xie Tingzhou had previously traveled with Su Yanwan to mislead the masked man, and as Ye Zhen had predicted, Su Yanwan deliberately spread the rumor that the Crown Prince was interested in her.

Because of this, there were many more carriages in front of the Vice Minister of War's residence, all of whom wanted to befriend him.

Today, Su Yanwan also came with Xie Tingzhou and stood by his side the whole time, appearing very close to him.

Furthermore, the Su family was Li Chenghai's in-laws, related to the Prime Minister's mansion by marriage. Ye Zhen didn't think the Su family could be up to anything good by approaching her at this time.

However, she also wanted to see what the Su family wanted to do, so she nodded and said, "Please."

If it's delivered to your door, you might as well rip it off.

Watching Ye Zhen and Su Yucheng leave, Su Yanwan and Xie Tingzhou sighed, "Looking at their backs, they look like a perfect couple."

"My brother is a very successful businessman and has excellent looks, but he's not interested in women, which worries our parents. Now that he's actively approaching Princess Zhaoning, it seems he's taken a liking to her."

She said with a slightly coquettish tone, "Your Highness, could you please put in a good word for me with the Marquis Xie's family? If the Princess could become my sister-in-law, I would be eternally grateful to Your Highness."

Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at her.

Guessing that Li Heng must have revealed his affair with Ye Zhen to the Su family, Su Yanwan made this attempt to test her, so she lowered her head slightly and approached her, "Okay."

If you want to compete with him for Zhenzhen, then don't blame him for handing Su Yanwan over to the masked man.

She drew closer and whispered, "Would you like to accompany me to the Su family?"

Su Yanwan was eager to confirm their relationship, so she nodded quickly and followed closely behind Xie Tingzhou.

While walking, she pretended to accidentally twist her ankle and fell towards Xie Tingzhou. Xie Tingzhou did not dodge and quickly helped her up.

Su Yanwan was overjoyed. If the Crown Prince was willing to let her touch him, he must truly like her.

Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes were watching them intently from the shadows...
