Xu Wanyan looked at him in surprise. Is it really for this?
After a moment of panic, she gathered her thoughts and said calmly, "Your Majesty, you have overstepped your bounds."
Xiao Jingming looked at his hand, then retracted it.
"I'm... abrupt."
"However, I thought you were willing to marry into Prince Chen's Mansion."
Xu Wanyan couldn't help but laugh, "How did the prince know that?"
"I......"
Xiao Jingming was stunned. It seemed that the person in front of him had always been indifferent and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Compared to the Xu family, or other families in the capital, I think this prince is a good choice."
"How do you know?"
"Second Miss Xu has always had her own ideas. I think she is the type who likes freedom and is not bound by rules."
Xu Wanyan smiled, "Is there anything in Prince Chen's Mansion that meets the requirements?"
Xiao Jingming smiled and said, "Of course there is. I came out to set up my own residence when I was twelve years old. There are only some old people who used to follow my mother in the residence. There is no one to restrain you."
Xu Wanyan sneered in her heart. If it weren’t for her previous life, she would have really believed his lies.
In her previous life, after she married into Prince Chen’s Mansion, she was almost scared to death.
Those old people have gloomy faces all day long, and there is no warm atmosphere in the mansion. Although they are not bad people, they are indeed scary.
Plus, the mothers kept watching her etiquette, which almost exhausted her to death.
Now, he actually said nonchalantly that Prince Chen's Mansion was free.
Seeing Xu Wanyan's expression constantly changing, Xiao Jingming asked in surprise: "You don't believe it?"
Xu Wanyan shook her head. "Since ancient times, no wealthy family has ever been free."
Xiao Jingming was silent, "That's why you..."
"Of course not. Your Highness, you are a child of destiny, and I am only the daughter of a humble official. To be honest, I am at a disadvantage for you."
Xiao Jingming widened his eyes. What did this mean?
"This matter was originally agreed upon when Grandfather Emperor was still alive. It doesn't matter whether one is worthy or not."
Xu Wanyan was helpless. She didn't understand what Xiao Jingming was so persistent about.
With his status, what kind of woman could he not marry?
In this life, as long as he eliminates Xiao Muhan, he can easily ascend to the supreme position.
After all, this is the Lin family’s current plan.
"Your Highness, forget it. You are a beautiful woman, and you are free to choose any girl from any family. If this marriage is decided, I believe the Emperor and the Lin family will be busy arranging it."
Hearing the Lin family, Xiao Jingming's face changed, "Grandma is looking for you?"
Xu Wanyan thought about it and it seemed like a long time ago that she last looked for her.
Then he shook his head, "No."
"My cousin and I are just family. We don't have the same thoughts as they do. Naturally, we won't have that kind of thoughts."
Xu Wanyan didn't say anything, but Madam Lin was very strong.
Seeing that Xu Wanyan was unwilling to say anything more, Xiao Jingming sighed, "I came back all the way just to tell you, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
Xu Wanyan smiled, and she actually felt a little hypocritical.
"You don't believe me?"
Xu Wanyan's expression changed immediately. "Your Highness, you're overthinking it. It's just that I don't think there's any need to worry about this..."
Seeing the hidden anger on Xiao Jingming's face, Xu Wanyan stopped talking.
"This matter, I will make my own decision. I know the Emperor's character very well. He will not harm me."
Having said that, Xiao Jingming was about to go out.
Xu Wanyan looked at his back and suddenly said, "Prince, why are you so persistent?"
Xiao Jingming paused, but did not look back.
"I think you are suitable."
As he spoke, the figure disappeared into the night.
Xu Wanyan sat back in her chair and looked at the darkness outside.
"Miss......"
Xu Wanyan looked up and found Leng Ning standing at the door. She asked with concern, "Why don't you rest?"
Leng Ning shook his head. "The prince hasn't left yet, and I'm worried."
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Leng Ning felt admiration in his heart. He didn't expect that she would really be the future princess.
Xiao Mengzi is right.
"He's gone. Go to bed early."
Leng Ning nodded and turned to leave.
However, halfway through the walk, she turned around and looked at Xu Wanyan, whispering, "Miss, the prince is a very nice person."
Xu Wanyan didn't expect her to say this, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Rest now."
Leng Ning nodded and turned away.
The next morning, the Su family sent someone to deliver a letter to Xu Wanyan.
Xu Wanyan looked at the content above, and her face became darker and darker.
You are so good, Xiao Jingming, you actually went to the Su family last night.
My grandfather is really something. It hasn't been long since he changed his mind and is determined to make her the Princess of Chen.
You know, two days ago, he was still thinking about canceling the engagement.
Xu Wanyan was helpless. For the first time, she experienced the feeling of being unable to overcome her thighs.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Xu Wanyan shook her head and said, "So be it. If they really fight for the position of princess for her, then she will marry them."
She was already very familiar with everything in Prince Chen's Mansion. Perhaps in this life, it would be a safe haven.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanyan felt much better and enjoyed her meal more.
Several people looked at her and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where on earth has the master gone?"
Zhao Yaru looked at Mother Gu in front of her, feeling annoyed.
"Madam, I don't know either. I just heard from Old Han that the master hurried out to do some business."
Zhao Yaru frowned. She had been with Xu Maocai for so many years, but with him being just a small official, what could he possibly do outside?
It seems that it is probably a private matter.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yaru was anxious and angry. Wanqing had been taken away by the prince for several days. She had never been able to tell Xu Maocai about such a great happy event, which made her feel very suffocated.
"Go and guard the door. If you see the master's shadow, tell him immediately that I have good news to tell him."
Mother Gu nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, not only will I be guarding it, I will also let the servants go out and check from time to time."
After hearing this, Zhao Yaru's expression became much better.
"Wanqing, why haven't you sent the letter in the past two days?"
Mother Gu thought for a moment and said, "The eldest young lady has just entered the Eastern Palace and has a lot of people and things to take care of. I think she is very busy. Madam, please wait a moment. Once the eldest young lady is done, she will contact you."
Zhao Yaru nodded and said, "I was too anxious."
"Haha, Madam, you have the heart of a mother, so naturally you are always concerned about the young lady."
"Your words hit the nail on the head. If Wanqing were this sensible, I'd feel relieved."
"Madam, your good days are still ahead. When the young lady comes...what are you worried about?"
Zhao Yaru nodded proudly, this day will come sooner or later.
