Chapter 101: Do you really have a way to reject this marriage?

Deng Qing from the Criminal Department was extremely efficient. After just one night, Shanhu confessed that it was Lianxin who bribed her, and Duan Cainü had no prior knowledge of it.

As a result, Duan Cainü was released without charge, while Shanhu, the servant who betrayed her master, was executed on the spot.

The first thing Duan Cainü did when she returned to Lingyun Palace was to go to Shuiyuexuan to thank Xue Youli.

"Without the care of Mr. Xue, I would not have been able to walk out of the prison alive. I owe Mr. Xue my life. If you need me in the future, I will obey your orders."

Last night, Xue Youli told Murong Che in advance that Duan Cainü had reminded her that there was a problem with the sachet. Murong Che had someone pass the message to Deng Qing, and only then was Duan Cainü able to walk out of the Prison unscathed.

Otherwise, she would die in this plot just like Coral.

Xue Youli pulled her up and said, "Sister Duan, you are too serious. You were innocent to begin with. It was the emperor who cleared your name. I didn't do anything."

To Duan Cainü, this meant that Xue Youli was a very good person who was not seeking repayment for his kindness.

"Mrs. Xue, my mother taught me since I was young that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, and a peach should be returned with a jade. Regardless of whether you accept my love or not, I will always remember your kindness! That, ..." Duan Tuo glanced at her belly several times, and didn't dare to mention her miscarriage, fearing that she would be sad. "You are still young, you must take good care of yourself. With the emperor's favor to you, you will have everything in the future!"

Xue Youli nodded, "Yes, I will."

Duan Cainü didn't want to disturb her rest, so she chatted with her for a while and then got up and left.

When she was leaving, Duan Cainv ran into Chu Xinyue who was coming towards her. "I've met Princess Qinghe."

"Yeah." Chu Xinyue responded. When she walked away, she moved a stool and sat in front of Xue Youli's couch. "Ali, you are great. You have gained another little fan girl!"

Xue Youli met her teasing gaze and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chu Xinyue pointed at Erxi who was holding a pile of supplements outside the door, "The Queen Mother was so distressed when she heard about what happened last night! She specially asked me to come here to comfort you and also asked me to bring you a lot of supplements, such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, etc. In short, they are all expensive goods!"

Erxi put the things down and left tactfully.

Xue Youli looked at the supplements, each one more valuable than the other, and smacked her lips, "As expected of the Queen Mother, she is so generous!"

"She told you not to think about anything and just stay in bed and rest for a month."

Xue Youli thought for a moment and said to her, "You're getting married in two months. I need to think carefully about what wedding gift to give you during this time."

Chu Xinyue smiled and replied, "What's there to think about? Don't you know me? Just pick the more expensive ones. The more expensive they are, the more I will like them!"

Xue Youli raised her chin, "Don't worry, as your wife's family, I will definitely prepare a rich dowry for you, just wait to become a rich woman!"

Chu Xinyue's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Why are you suddenly looking forward to getting married?"

"Murong Nan is a little bit stupid, but he's tall and handsome, isn't he your type? I think you're anxious to marry him and have a taste of what it's like to be his younger brother."

Chu Xinyue thought of Murong Nan's face and sighed softly, "Actually, Murong Nan is indeed my type. After all, who can resist a handsome and brainless boy!"

The two were talking happily when the Book of Heaven's Secrets suddenly appeared in front of Xue Youli.

Xue Youli looked at the words on the book of secrets and his expression suddenly changed. "Xinyue, is there a secret passage in the palace?"

Chu Xinyue listened to her nonsensical question and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xue Youli's expression was solemn, "I'm afraid we'll have to leave the palace!"

On the other side is the most famous Xianle Painting Boat in the capital.

In the private room, the sound of piano is lingering. When you open the door, a faint fragrance fills your face.

A woman in white with a veil on her face is playing the strings of a musical instrument. The silk curtain hanging behind her flutters in the wind, giving people the illusion of being in a gentle country.

"Ah-chu! Ah-chu!"

Murong Nan just felt that the mixed smell of incense and powder in the room was a bit pungent, and she sneezed several times on the spot.

Seeing this, Murong Ye looked at him with concern, "Fifth brother, you won't catch a cold, right?"

Murong Nan sat down in front of the table filled with food and wine, and waved the folding fan in his hand, "Second brother, how could I catch a cold in such a hot day? It must be that the girl in Piaoxiangyuan missed me and was talking about me behind my back!"

Murong Ye sat down opposite him, hesitated for a moment, and spoke in a low voice, "Fifth brother, after the ceremony of coming of age, you will have to prepare for the wedding. You must have thought it through. Do you really want to marry Princess Qinghe as your princess?"

When Murong Nan heard him mention Chu Xinyue, the smile on his face froze, and he wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. "Second brother, I came to you today to have a drink and have fun, so don't mention someone who's ruining my fun!"

To be honest, he felt scared when he thought of Chu Xinyue.

Especially when I thought about the fact that she saw my naked butt, I felt even more ashamed!

Seeing how much he disliked Chu Xinyue, Murong Ye raised his eyes and glanced at the girl sitting in front of the piano table playing the piano, and whispered, "Fifth brother, if you don't like Princess Qinghe, Second Brother can help you think of a way to refuse the marriage."

Murong Nan's eyes lit up, "Second brother, do you really have a way to reject this marriage?"

Before Murong Ye could reply, Murong Nan thought of the aggrieved look on Chu Xinyue's face when she slapped herself in the palace, and shook his head again, "Forget it, just marry her. It was indeed my fault that day, and if I cancel the engagement, it would damage her reputation."

Although Murong Nan is not a gentleman, he is not the kind of vulgar person who would be irresponsible if he damages the reputation of a girl.

Seeing that he was so indecisive, Murong Ye continued to persuade him, "Fifth brother, this is your lifelong event after all. If you don't want to disobey our mother, you'd better let Princess Qinghe take the initiative to cancel the engagement."

The fact that Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue are good friends is no longer a secret.

Murong Ye was worried that if Murong Nan married Chu Xinyue, he would become estranged from him because of her whispering in his ear too much.

Murong Nan is deeply loved by the Queen Mother and still has value to be used. Murong Ye plotted against him and saved him back then. It was because of the life-saving grace that made Murong Nan loyal to him. Of course, he doesn't want to fail at the last moment.

However, Murong Nan was not very smart, but he still had some conscience. "My brother has already issued an edict to marry Chu Xinyue to me, and Princess Qinghe will not cancel the engagement. Besides, with her tough personality, I am afraid no one else would dare to marry her except me. I will do a good deed and marry her back to the palace."

At worst, he could just marry a few more concubines in the future and bother Chu Xinyue less. Anyway, it would just be an extra pair of chopsticks and an extra person to support.

Seeing that Murong Nan had made up his mind, Murong Ye knew that it was useless to say more.

Although his fifth brother seems to be a scoundrel, he is actually a very responsible person.

"Since Fifth Brother has decided to marry Princess Qinghe, why not indulge yourself before the wedding?"

"Of course! Enjoy life to the fullest. Second brother, I'll toast you another glass!"

Murong Ye smiled and nodded, even the teardrops at the corners of his eyes seemed to show his doting on his brother, "Okay."

Seeing that the wine glass beside him was empty, Murong Ye picked up the wine pot and poured him another glass, "Fifth brother, you drink first, I'm going to the toilet."

As he went out, he winked at the girl playing the piano.

There are still two months before Murong Nan's wedding. If he hangs out in the pleasure boat every day during these two months, he will make the girl here pregnant.

With Chu Xinyue's strong temper, would she still be willing to marry him?
