After listening to what Nanny Zhang said about the Cui family and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, Xia Tian didn't know what to say.

I guess Shen Nian also regretted this, but as time went by, he felt even more embarrassed to come to the house.

"Madam, what was the Cui family's attitude when you went to the family this time?" Xia Tian stared into Madam Zhang's eyes. "Are they willing to acknowledge the Crown Prince?"

She felt that she had to ask clearly about this, lest she coax Shen Nian here and then go to the door, but the Cui family is unwilling, and Shen Nian's face will not look good.

"Of course I'm willing." Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "I was able to go to the Cui family this time because they passed the message."

Originally, she wanted to come to Linzhou just to see if she could find an opportunity to visit the Cui family. She also always hoped that the young lady's children could interact with their uncle's family so that the young lady would not miss them in the underworld.

After arriving in Linzhou, I wanted to find a chance to mention it to Shen Nian, but seeing that he was so busy, I never opened my mouth.

Fortunately, someone from the Cui family passed a message to her a few days ago, so she had an excuse to come to the house.

However, I was worried about the Cui family's attitude, so I didn't bring it up.

I just want to go and take a look first, and then tell the prince and his wife.

"That's good." Xia Tian said with a smile, "Don't worry, Ma'am. I'll find a chance to mention it to the prince."

"Well, I can only rely on my wife for this matter."

Nanny Zhang sat for a while and then left.

Xia Tian was thinking about how to talk about this matter with Shen Nian.

After Nanny Zhang left, Ningxiang and Ningxue came in.

The two looked at Xia Tian and smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, don't be embarrassed, I won't blame you."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her say this. They also knew that it was wrong to hide this matter from the lady, but it was not appropriate for them to gossip about the prince behind his back.

Now that Aunt Zhang has spoken out, they feel relieved.

Since they came to Linzhou, they have been worried about this matter.

Now I finally feel relieved.

When Shen Nian came back in the evening, Xia Tian kept staring at him.

This gave Shen Nian a bewildered look, “What’s wrong?”

Xia Tian leaned his head forward and continued to stare at him, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"No!" Shen Nian was confused and had no idea what she was talking about.

"Really?" Xia Tian moved forward again, and this time her forehead was almost touching Chen Nian's forehead.

Shen Nian leaned back, his expression becoming serious, and he carefully recalled where he had concealed something.

After thinking for a while, he still had no clue. He looked at the head that had been stretched in front of him, patted it lightly with his hand, and asked, "What are you talking about? Give me a clue."

"Oh? You're hiding more than one thing from me?" Xia Tian didn't walk away, but moved forward.

"No, tell me." This time, Shen Nian directly held Xia Tian's head with both hands to hold her still.

Seeing that he really couldn't remember anything, Xia Tian shook his head, broke free from Shen Nian's hand, and sat down again.

"I'm talking about the Cui family in Linzhou."

Xia Tian finished speaking, staring carefully at the expression on Shen Nian’s face.

Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time.

She was getting discouraged from waiting, thinking that he would not say anything more, and was just about to just forget about it.

Shen Nian then spoke slowly, “You know everything?”

Xia Tian paused, "Well, Aunt Zhang told me today."

When Shen Nian heard that it was Aunt Zhang who said it, she knew that she should know everything.

Well, he had nothing to hide, so he asked, "What do you think?"

"What I think is not important." Xia Tian said, "What matters is what you think. Do you want to recognize him?"

“Yeah.” Shen Nian nodded, “It’s just that I hurt my uncle’s heart back then, I don’t know if they are willing to forgive me.”

When he was still young, his uncle considered him, but he did not stand on his uncle's side. Now he is too embarrassed to go to his uncle's door.

"Madam Zhang told me that as long as you take the initiative to come and claim your relationship, they will definitely not refuse."

Shen Nian pondered for a while before speaking, “Then I’ll go after I finish my work here.”

Xia Tian took his hand and said, "Brother Shen, I think the sooner you go, the better. We have been in Linzhou for more than half a month. I guess they have been waiting for you to come. After all, you are the elder. It would be rude to delay."

Shen Nian didn't speak for a long time.

Xia Tian was anxious. "How about I prepare some gifts tomorrow, and you tell me who the guests are, and we'll go the day after tomorrow."

In the end, Shen Nian nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, Xia Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Shen, I happen to have some excellent medicinal herbs here, the same ones that the emperor and the imperial hospital gave us last time. Let's pick two and take them."

Seeing that she was very concerned about this matter, Shen Nian felt relieved, "Then I will hand in a visiting card tomorrow and go after she agrees."

"Well, write it now." Xia Tian was afraid that he would forget it again when he was busy tomorrow, so he urged him to write it now.

Chen Nian had no choice but to ask Ningxiang to run to the study in the front yard and get him a special visiting card.

Xia Tian watched Chen Nian finish writing the visiting card and hand it to Mu Feng before pulling him aside to ask him to tell him about the people in the Cui family.

The Cui family is now headed by Mr. Cui and Mrs. Cui, who are Shen Nian’s grandparents.

He also has five uncles, three of whom are his grandmother's biological sons, and the other two are Mr. Cui's illegitimate sons. However, they are all scholars and have a good relationship with him.

Cui's uncle was the principal of Mingde Academy, the largest academy in Linzhou.

The second uncle of the Cui family is currently serving as the governor of Chengzhou, and he also holds the highest official position among the sons of the Cui family.
