The whole audience was silent for a moment, and everyone had a different expression.

Su Jinyue put down her chopsticks and continued eating, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

The old lady said, "Please invite the person in."

Soon, Li Mohan walked in with a tall and straight figure. He had a gentle expression and a burning gaze. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Madam Su."

"Mr. Li, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Old Madam Su smiled and motioned for him to take a seat.

Li Mohan sat down calmly, and after a brief greeting, he said directly: "I came here this time because my father asked me to. I heard that Miss Jin Yue was recently named a princess, so I came to congratulate her."

He looked at Su Jinyue with a sincere tone.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Su Jinyue responded calmly, but secretly wondered in her heart what Li Mohan's real intention was.

The atmosphere at the table was a little tense, and Su Chengjiang couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li's visit is just for congratulations?"

Li Mohan smiled slightly, his eyes meaningful, "Of course, there is one more thing."

"I've heard that the Su family has a long tradition of scholarship. If Miss Jin Yue is willing, could you give me a chance to recite poems and write couplets together and learn from each other?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly froze. Everyone cast inquiring glances, but only Madam Su had a meaningful look in her eyes.

Su Jinyue smiled and responded calmly: "I heard that Mr. Li is very talented and learned. I will definitely listen to him attentively."

Old Madam Su looked at Jiang Jingmian at the table, and a meaningful light flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the hall. A maid hurried to Madam Su's ear and whispered something. Suddenly, Madam Su's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"Jinyue, you don't have to be restrained when you accompany Master Li to appreciate the chrysanthemums in the backyard later." Madam Su instructed gently.

Su Jinyue's heart moved, knowing that Old Madam Su had other plans. She smiled slightly and agreed to the matter.

After dinner, Su Jinyue took her maid and the servant beside Li Mohan into the back garden. The breeze brushed their faces and the night was as dark as water.

"Mr. Li, is there any special reason for coming here this time?" Su Jinyue asked.

Li Mohan was slightly thoughtful, then he slowly said: "Actually, I really want to make friends with Miss Su."

Su Jinyue's mind raced, but her expression remained calm: "What do you mean?"

Li Mohan said: "I heard that Miss Su's medical skills are unparalleled, and I also want to learn a little from Miss Su."

He spoke with certainty, as if he was sure that he could convince Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue felt a chill in her heart, but she still kept a smile on her face: "Master Li is not happy in the Hanlin Academy, could it be that he wants to enter the palace to be an imperial physician?"

Li Mohan glanced at her with a little surprise, and said with a smile: "Of course not, Miss Su, you are joking, I am just slightly interested in medical skills."

The previous words were irrelevant, and Su Jinyue just curled her lips and sneered, without saying anything else to him.

Just as Su Jinyue was about to speak again, she saw a black shadow passing by silently. She was startled and her face changed slightly.

"Mr. Li, it's getting dark today. Why don't we talk another day?" Su Jinyue said quickly and raised her hand to signal him to leave.

Although Li Mohan was still a little unsatisfied, he also realized that Su Jinyue had no intention of keeping him, so he did not dare to push his luck. "Then I will not bother Miss Su anymore. I will bother you another day."

"Mr. Li, take care." Su Jinyue smiled slightly, but the moment he turned around, a hint of vigilance flashed across her eyes.

When Li Mohan walked away, she immediately chased in the direction where the shadow disappeared. Seeing this, Xiao Tao hurried forward and asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

"Stay here. If I don't come back, hold them back for me." Su Jinyue instructed without turning her head, and then her figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Deep in the bamboo forest, night falls and the moonlight shines through the bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows.

When they chased deep into the bamboo forest, Su Jinyue saw a person sitting at the table.

When she saw that person, Su Jinyue smiled a little, "General Xiao, you also like to climb over the wall to enter the courtyard?"

Xiao Duo raised his eyes and looked at Su Jinyue. Half of his handsome face was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see his emotions.

"Miss Su has been busy with the affairs of the mansion these days and has no time to come to see me, so I will find an opportunity to meet Miss Su."

Xiao Duo said: "It seems that I disturbed Miss Su's good thing just now?"

Listening to Xiao Duo's somewhat sarcastic tone, Su Jinyue actually felt like laughing.

She walked over and sat opposite Xiao Duo, propping up her cheek and looking at him, "I can't leave the house these few days. His Majesty's decree has come, and I have become a princess. This news has spread everywhere. Grandmother wishes I could stay in the house all day long."

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "The person who came today is quite interesting. It seems that he was invited by my mother."

Xiao Duo raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest: "Oh? What does this mean?"

Su Jinyue's eyes flashed with cunning, "They say they care about the reputation of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, but I see that they don't want to live anymore."

"The marriage between you and me was arranged by His Majesty. My grandmother found this man and it seems that she wants to marry me to him."

Xiao Duo frowned, "This is a marriage granted by His Majesty, how dare they do that?"

"What else are they afraid of?" Su Jinyue said, "I think they want to be executed by your majesty before they are satisfied."

"Xiao Duo laughed softly, "You can make a joke about this, it seems you have a solution?"

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows, "Are you praising me, General?"

"Of course," Xiao Duo smiled slightly, with a probing look in his eyes, "But, does Miss Su have any plans?"

"There's no need for the little general to intervene in this matter. I can handle it myself."

Su Jinyue narrowed her eyes, "These people are really stupid, but I can't let them get me into trouble."

Hearing this, Xiao Duo nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that you have already made a plan, so I won't ask any more questions. But if you need help, just ask."

"I will," Su Jinyue smiled, "But General, do you have something else to ask for this visit?"

Xiao Duo's face turned serious, "It is true."

"A few days ago, the front line reported that the Western Region was ready to make a move and developed a poison that has injured many soldiers. I would like to ask for your help."

"Oh?" Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a trace of suspicion, "Young General, do you want me to go into battle and kill the enemy?"

"Of course not," Xiao Duo shook his head and smiled helplessly, "I hope you can help us detoxify."

Su Jinyue nodded and said slowly: "That can be considered, but——"

She deliberately dragged out her tone, causing Xiao Duo to be slightly startled, "But what?"

Su Jinyue looked at Xiao Duo's lower abdomen, "But your poison is more important. I think it's time for your monthly attack, right?"

Xiao Duo was startled, and raised his hand to cover his lower abdomen, "I'm fine, the lives of the frontier soldiers are more important."

"Okay, but I can't leave the house these few days, and I can't see those poisoned soldiers."

Xiao Duo said: "It doesn't matter, I will find a chance to take you out of the house."

"Okay." Su Jinyue nodded, "Then I'll wait for your news."

When Su Jinyue returned to the yard, Jiang Caiping was waiting for her in the room.

Seeing Jiang Caiping, Su Jinyue was stunned, "Mother?"

Jiang Caiping said to Su Jinyue, "Please sit down. I have something to tell you."
