It wasn't until their backs disappeared that Xu Wanyan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Miss, you, you really want to..."
Qiao Yun and Xiyue's faces were filled with worry.
Xu Wanyan smiled and said, "Of course not, I was just teasing them."
After hearing this, the two of them relaxed.
The lady's expression just now was so realistic that it scared them.
"That's good, that's good."
After Qiao Yun and Xiyue left, Xu Wanyan's expression turned cold.
Yang Jiaoxue and others were willing to spend so much money to let her escape from the marriage, their purpose must be more than that.
Want her to escape the marriage?
That's impossible.
She wanted to see what their purpose was.
At night, Xu Wanyan waited for Yang Jiaoxue as expected.
However, there were not as many people as Yingying and Yanyan this time, only her and Li Yunrou.
"Xu Wanyan, here are 20,000 taels of silver. The silver is too heavy, so you can hide the silver."
Xu Wanyan excitedly took the banknote, looked left and right, and looked like she had never seen the world before.
There was contempt in Yang Jiaoxue and Li Yunrou's eyes.
"You've got the banknotes. When do you plan to leave?"
Yang Jiaoxue couldn't wait any longer and wished she could send her away right now.
Hearing this, Xu Wanyan put down the banknote in her hand and said seriously, "Sister Yang, you can't leave until the day you get married."
"What? So late?"
Yang Jiaoxue looked unhappy, and Li Yunrou tugged at her sleeve.
"Why are you leaving so late? Wouldn't it be better to leave earlier?"
Xu Wanyan shook her head and said seriously, "In the next few days, my relatives will come to add to my dowry. If I leave now, they will soon find out that I'm missing. By then, I might disappear before I even leave the capital."
When Yang Jiaoxue and Li Yunrou heard her say this, they immediately felt that it made sense.
"On the wedding day, there were many people, all kinds of people, and I ran away. Neither the Xu family nor the Chen Palace knew when I disappeared. By the time they found out, I would have already left the capital."
"Wouldn't it be difficult for them to find it then?"
Hearing this, Yang Jiaoxue nodded in agreement, "Do you want to imitate Xu Wanqing and marry in her place?"
Xu Wanyan looked at Yang Jiaoxue with admiration and praised her, "Sister Jiaoxue is really smart. She guessed it right away."
Yang Jiaoxue nodded. "In that case, I'll send someone to pick you up on the eighth day of the first lunar month and take you out of the capital."
Xu Wanyan nodded, "Thank you, Sister Jiaoxue. We'll meet at the back door in the early morning of the eighth day of the new year."
Seeing her sincere expression, Yang Jiaoxue believed her words and left with Li Yunrou.
Looking at the receding figure, Xu Wanyan sneered.
"I didn't expect that my princess would be so busy running away from her marriage."
Xu Wanyan was no longer surprised by Xiao Jingming's mysterious appearances.
Xu Wanyan ignored him and put the 20,000 taels of silver into the brocade box.
Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped by Xiao Jingming halfway.
"Just 20,000 taels, and they want to instigate my princess. Aren't they too stupid?"
Hearing this, Xu Wanyan couldn't help laughing.
"Twenty thousand taels is also silver, don't underestimate it."
Xiao Jingming folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the door frame. "It seems that the betrothal gift I gave was too little, which is why my princess cares so much about these 20,000 taels."
Xu Wanyan curled her lips, "Are you stupid? This is clearly a good thing that should not be rejected in vain."
"I'm tired for you seeing you dealing with them."
"It's okay. I'm not busy recently. It's a good time to have fun."
After hearing this, Xiao Jingming felt much more relieved.
"Don't worry, I will help you that day."
"good."
Since he had already spoken, she had nothing to worry about.
Looking at his disappearing back, Xu Wanyan actually felt a warmth rising in her heart.
As the day draws closer, Xu Wanyan's Feiyun Garden becomes much more lively.
"Miss, you have received so many gifts this time."
Looking at the various gifts delivered every day, Qiao Yun's mouth was grinning from ear to ear with joy.
"That's all for King Chen's sake."
Qiao Yun smiled and said, "It's all the same, all the same."
Xu Wanyan was happy in her heart. This girl was still protective of her own shortcomings.
That afternoon, Xu Wanyan received a letter from Su Mu, inviting her to a gathering.
Xu Wanyan didn't act pretentiously and immediately packed up and went to the Su family.
The Su family is very lively today, and the servants coming and going seem to be very busy.
Even Su Yunuo, who had not been seen for many days, was present.
Xu Wanyan was full of doubts, "Grandfather, did something happen today?"
Su Hairong shook his head, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time, and sighed: "In two days, it will be your wedding day. I, I think of your mother at that time, my heart..."
Before he could finish his words, the old man who had fought on the battlefield couldn't help but cover his face.
Xu Wanyan felt a little sad and quickly said, "Grandfather, I'm still in the capital."
Su Hairong nodded and said, "Yes, it's a pity that your mother can't see it."
Xu Wanyan didn't say anything, as these words made her feel uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Su Mu quickly said: "Grandfather, Wanyan, our Su family invites you to dinner today. It's a family reunion dinner. I should have gone to the Xu family in person to invite you over, but..."
"I understand. Thank you."
She really didn't expect that they would arrange this meal.
"We're all family, why are you being so polite? In the future, when you're still in the capital, come visit the Su family more often."
The one who spoke was Su Yunuo, and she looked at Xu Wanyan thoughtfully.
Xu Wanyan didn't pay attention to her look and helped Su Hairong sit down.
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else today. Let's have a good meal as a family."
After hearing Su Hairong's words, the others also sat down.
Looking at the dishes being brought to the table, Xu Wanyan felt a little moist in the corners of her eyes.
Over the years, no one has ever prepared a proper ceremony for her.
Now, the Su family enjoys this warmth.
“Wanyan, although you are marrying Prince Chen, if that brat dares to bully you, you should be polite and tell your grandfather directly. I will help you deal with him!”
Su Hairong's words were so powerful that Xu Wanyan couldn't help laughing.
"I'm telling the truth. Even though he's a prince, I'll still take care of that brat."
"Yes, Wanyan, if you are bullied, tell me and I will help you vent your anger."
When Su Yunuo heard Su Mu's words, a look of disdain suddenly appeared on his face, "Just you?"
"What's wrong? Can't I do it?"
Su Mu was quite unconvinced.
Su Yunuo chuckled, "Brother, don't you look at your own body? Are you a match for King Chen? Besides, Grandfather can lecture him as an elder, what about you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Mu suddenly lost all his energy and spirit, and became dejected and silent.
Xu Wanyan smiled and said, "Grandfather, cousin, cousin, you are overthinking it. Prince Chen...will not bully me."
As soon as these words came out, Su Yunuo's expression changed again.
