Ye Zhen was moved and rested his head on her shoulder. "Yinyue, after I get married, you and Wanxing should also find suitable people to settle down with."

Both of them were orphans, and Yin Yue didn't even know her origins. Ye Zhen found happiness herself and hoped that they could be happy too.

Yinyue had never thought about marriage, but she always obeyed her mistress's orders. "This servant understands, but this servant will follow the mistress for the rest of her life."

You can get married, but you can't leave the young lady.

Ye Zhen smiled and agreed.

The master and servants inside the house had a warm and harmonious relationship.

Outside, Wang Jingshuo looked hurt. "I saved your woman and came to find you, but you didn't even acknowledge me."

He shouted outside the door for so long, but the guy was laughing so heartily inside, I don't know what he was doing.

Even now, with his smile still on his face, Wang Jingshuo had a mischievous thought: "When Prince Yun was injured, Ye Zhen held him very tightly, his face full of heartache."

Once he calmed down, he realized he had misunderstood. If Ye Zhen really liked Prince Yun, he should have stopped the bleeding and treated his wounds immediately.

Furthermore, Xing Ze was the Crown Prince's most loyal servant; if Ye Zhen changed his mind, he would be the first to quit.

He knew it, but he just wanted to tease Xie Tingzhou.

Yes, he's incredibly audacious to treat the Crown Prince like that.

When I get old, I can tell my grandchildren about it, and it will be something to brag about.

Wang Jingshuo filled in the blanks.

Unexpectedly, Xie Tingzhou casually tossed out a sentence, "The Crown Princess's wedding is a complicated affair, so you, as her cousin, will come to the Marquis's residence to help out from now on."

With Wang Jingshuo's involvement, the Wang family can be considered Ye Zhen's half-family in the future.

Wang Jingshuo was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Whose cousin is he?

He immediately realized that Ye Zhen was now the daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and given the relationship between the two families, wasn't he Ye Zhen's cousin?

"You and Ye Zhen are getting married? When? Has His Majesty and the Empress given their consent?"

When the topic turned to business, Wang Jingshuo quickly put aside his desire to watch the spectacle.

Marquis Zhongyong holds military power, so it wouldn't be a problem for his daughter to marry the Crown Prince. However, Ye Zhen is, after all, a second-time bride.

Wang Jingshuo was worried about opposition from the emperor and empress.

After all, the Crown Princess is the future Empress.

Xie Tingzhou said, "My mother will come to the Marquis's residence in person to propose marriage on my behalf."

Wang Jingshuo breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems I was overthinking it.

The Empress herself was also a second-marriage woman, so she probably wouldn't have any prejudice against second-marriage women.

It was all for nothing that he worried for nothing.

"Ah, I am truly a born loyal subject."

He didn't forget to take credit for himself, and then he thought of the people outside the door, and his desire to watch the show rekindled.

With a grin, she leaned closer to Xie Tingzhou and asked, "How are you going to handle things with the Su family?"

Su Yanwan was still waiting outside the Marquis's residence.

Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and whispered about Su Yanwan and Su Yucheng.

Excitement gleamed in Wang Jingshuo's eyes. "Really? Are you kidding me?"

That's so explosive!

Xie Tingzhou nodded, "It's just that there's a lack of empirical evidence."

Before we even had a chance to investigate, the Cloud King delivered himself right to our doorstep.

Wang Jingshuo was delighted to hear this and said with a smile, "As a subordinate, I must share Your Highness's burdens. I will go and investigate immediately."

Just thinking about it is so exciting! There's definitely more gossip in the capital. I can use this gossip to cheer up my mother when I get back home.

Well, maybe I should stop pressuring them to get married.

Wang Jingshuo lost interest in watching Xie Tingzhou get rid of Su Yanwan and ran off happily.

Xie Tingzhou beckoned to someone in the shadows, "Follow me. Release the news as soon as you find evidence."

He then instructed Yu Nie to "send to Father Emperor the evidence of the Su family's crimes, including using their position as Vice Minister of War to fabricate false military records to embezzle salaries, accepting bribes to interfere with the selection of military officers, and colluding with merchants to inflate prices and line their own pockets when purchasing military rations and weapons."

If Li Heng dares to scheme against him, then he'll cut off one of his arms first.

Su Yanwan was unaware that her family was about to suffer a great misfortune. She received a message from the Prime Minister's residence saying that Prince Yun was injured, and the rest of the people were left outside the palace. Only Ye Zhen was taken into the inner palace by the Crown Prince.

Afterwards, the Crown Prince personally escorted Ye Zhen back to his residence. The Prime Minister suspected that the Crown Prince's true affections were for Ye Zhen, and sent her to demand an explanation.

Regardless of who the Crown Prince truly loves, given the previous rumors, she must confirm her relationship with the Crown Prince today. Even if she cannot become the primary wife, she must at least obtain the title of secondary wife.

Therefore, when she saw Xie Tingzhou, she cried and tried to throw herself into his arms, "Your Highness, has Yan Wan done something wrong..."

"Miss Su, please have some self-respect."

A palace attendant blocked Su Yanwan's way, saying, "You must not be rude in front of His Highness."

Su Yanwan was on the verge of tears, "Your Highness, don't you want Yanwan anymore?"

Xie Tingzhou's expression was cold and stern. "When did I ever want you?"

"Your Highness?"

Su Yanwan was startled; she hadn't expected the Crown Prince to turn on her so quickly. "Some time ago, you often spent time with Yanwan..."

"oh."

Xie Tingzhou said in a calm tone, "I have noticed that Vice Minister Su is not a good official and has many problems. I am just using Miss Su to investigate the Su family."

He knew that after saying these words, many people would secretly curse him for being an ungentleman.

But who says that a king must be a gentleman?

Having deliberately approached Su Yanwan and used her to investigate the Su family, other women would have reason to hesitate if they wanted to covet him in the future.

This can be considered as clearing away troubles for the future.
