Madam Lin looked at her for a long while before she said, "Haha, you are a child who knows how to be grateful."
"The late emperor was very kind to his subjects. He bestowed upon your Xu family such a great honor. Other noble families are envious of you."
Xu Wanyan shook her head, not understanding what she wanted to say.
"Yue'e marrying the prince can be said to be a match made in heaven, but unfortunately, the two are not a good match!"
These words made Xu Wanyan's heart tremble. Why did she have to be told such private things?
"Chen'er is not young anymore, it's time for him to get married, but he doesn't know whether to follow the late emperor's wishes or his mother's. It's so difficult!"
Mrs. Lin's meaningful expression made Xu Wanyan guess her intention in a flash, and then she whispered, "I guess the prince has his own plans in mind."
Madam Lin snorted inwardly and glanced at Leng Ning. "He's young after all, and doesn't know anything. How can marriage be a joke? If I, as his grandmother, don't worry about him, who will?"
"Yes, the old lady is right."
"It's not a good thing for young people to associate with the rich and powerful. After all, small families are not worthy of being on the stage."
Xu Wanyan was surprised. Is this...anxious?
She didn't say anything.
"The old lady has the final say on the prince's affairs."
She couldn't possibly offend the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery because of this. After all, this family was not to be trifled with.
Besides, she had no intention of marrying into Prince Chen's Mansion.
"Haha, even I can't surpass his father, the Emperor, right?"
Xu Wanyan didn't dare to respond, was it all a sin?
"Since you understand what I mean, then go back. From now on... be more careful and don't accept everything, lest you get burned."
"yes."
Xu Wanyan left the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion with an indifferent expression, "Ling Ning, go tell Madam Lin that something has happened at home, so I'm going back first."
Leng Ning knew that she was in a bad mood, so she nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"
After Leng Ning left, Qiao Yun's pretty face twisted a little, "Miss, this old lady Lin is too much, the prince has clearly already..."
"alright!"
Xu Wanyan interrupted her, "Go back home, this is not the place to talk."
Only then did Qiao Yun realize how bold she had become. She quickly covered her mouth with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Are you gone?"
Mother Xue nodded and said, "Replying to the old lady, I'm leaving."
Madam Lin opened her eyes slightly and asked, "Didn't you go to see Yujiao?"
Mother Xue shook her head and said, "Send the girl from Prince Chen's Mansion."
"snort!"
"This girl is quite temperamental."
Mother Xue looked worried, "If the prince knew..."
Madam Lin's eyes instantly sharpened, and she said angrily, "So what if he knows? The Lin family is his greatest support. As long as he marries Yue'e, I guarantee that the throne will be his in the future."
Mother Xue shuddered with fear. The old lady was confused and dared to say anything.
"Go and ask the eldest and second oldest to come."
The prince has been in this position for a long time. Since he feels uncomfortable sitting there, just pull him down.
Mother Xue's expression froze. She knew that the Lin family was about to launch a counterattack.
When Xu Wanyan returned home, Old Master Xu sent someone to call her over.
"What did Madam Lin say to you?"
Although Old Master Xu's face was full of smiles, Xu Wanyan always felt that there was anger in it that she could not see.
Xu Wanyan lowered her head and repeated what Old Madam Lin had said.
"Humph! This old woman has a lot of tricks up her sleeve."
Xu Wanyan didn't say a word.
Old Master Xu glanced at her and then smiled, "Since Old Madam Lin said so, then let her be. Prince Chen is always at the border, so I don't think it's a good match."
Xu Wanyan frowned, her doubts growing even more intense.
It's definitely not normal for him to say that.
Xu Wanqing and Lu Mingxuan were already a done deal. If the Xu family wanted to turn things around, they would have to use her marriage to figure it out. How could it be...
"Your father and I have our own plans for your marriage. Although Prince Chen is favored by the Emperor, the country does not belong to him after all."
After saying this, Old Master Xu stared straight at Xu Wanyan.
Xu Wanyan was horrified. It turned out that they were still eyeing the position of Crown Princess.
If the Lin family knew about this, they would probably be overjoyed, but she didn't want to.
However, now is not the time to disobey.
"Grandfather, my younger brother is still young, and Wanyan has no plans to get married so early."
Old Master Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, these things will not affect your marriage."
"Thank you, Grandfather."
Xu Wanyan returned to Feiyun Garden in a daze. The Prince's Mansion was much more dangerous than Prince Chen's Mansion.
Especially the prince, he must have many secrets.
Xu Wanyan shuddered. She didn't want to marry the prince.
Besides, if Lin Yue'e marries Xiao Jingming, what about the crown prince? The Lin family will not let him stay in the position of crown prince for too long.
Seeing Leng Ning coming back, Xu Wanyan was a little curious. Did Xiao Jingming know what Old Madam Lin was thinking?
Sure enough, within two days, Xiao Jingming's letter arrived.
Xu Wanyan read it expressionlessly and put it down expressionlessly.
He asked her to persist, so she persisted. What a wish!
We've only met a few times, how can there be any feelings between us?
"What has Xu Wanqing been busy with recently?"
"My dear, the eldest lady has been meeting with Lu Mingxuan these past few days."
"What about the others?"
Leng Ning shook her head. "I didn't notice anything else, but they both seemed to be in a good mood."
Xu Wanyan sneered. Lu Mingxuan was really good at disguising himself. How could he forget all the humiliation he had suffered in the Xu family?
Within a few days, the Xu family suddenly became lively.
"Miss, Miss, something happened!"
Qiao Yun’s loud shouting made Xu Wanyan frown. This girl was still so carefree.
"What happened?"
Qiao Yun looked around and whispered a few words into Xu Wanyan's ear.
Xu Wanyan's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Really, Miss, I heard from the servants at Mingzhu Garden that Qingping has already hired a doctor."
"What does the doctor say?"
Qiao Yun shook her head, looking troubled. "I don't know what the doctor said. But the young lady hasn't had her period yet. It's been delayed for seven days."
Seven days, that should be enough.
Xu Wanyan wasn't sure, but she felt that it should be possible.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face, "Let's go see her with some gifts."
"yes!"
When Xu Wanyan arrived at Mingzhu Garden, Xu Wanqing was lying on the bed with a gentle look on her face.
It seems that she has already admitted that she is pregnant, which is a good thing.
"Sister, I heard that you had consulted a doctor, so I came to see you."
Xu Wanyan walked into the inner room with a concerned look on her face.
Xu Wanqing saw who was coming and her face darkened immediately. She said coldly, "I don't need you to see it. Get out of here."
Xu Wanyan raised a sarcastic smile, "Sister, are you afraid that I will know something?"
