Is the Gao and Mu families going to marry?
Shen Yu scorned the idea of marrying into the Gao family, which were descendants of Japanese pirates. How could the Mu family possibly agree to such a marriage? Moreover, Shen Xiang was her most beloved younger sister.
Chenxiang was slightly short, but quick-witted and agile. Her appearance was most similar to Chenyu's; both had fair skin, almond-shaped eyes, and a small black mole on the tip of their noses. Therefore, Chenyu loved Chenxiang even more than her other younger sisters.
Therefore, Chenyu has already found a suitable home for Chenxiang, namely Heman, the eldest son of Lord He.
He Man would intentionally or unintentionally get close to Chen Xiang every time he came to the Mu family. If Chen Xiang married into the He family, she would naturally not suffer any losses.
Seeing that Gao Feng was engrossed in conversation, Chen Yu immediately interrupted: "Since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. How can my eldest brother make the decision about my second sister's marriage? We must listen to our parents."
Where is your mother?
“My mother is unwell and has gone to bed to rest. Princess Hong, please come another day, or perhaps you could find a suitable match for your brother.”
Gao Feng shook off Chen Yu's hand and then said coldly, "Mu Chen Yu, don't be so ungrateful. My second brother is a legitimate son, while your second sister is just a concubine's daughter. It is a great honor for her to marry into my Gao family."
Shen Yu was not to be outdone and stood up to order, "Someone, see the guest out."
Gao Feng suddenly stood up, pointing angrily at Chen Yu: "Mu Chen Yu, you..."
“Princess Hong, why be angry? The matter of Chenxiang’s engagement is not something Chenyu can decide. You can come to see Madam Mu another day. Don’t ruin the harmony.”
After Hongyu finished speaking, she pulled Gao Feng away.

Three days later, on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.
Madam Mu, along with her four daughters, went to Putuo Temple to offer incense. However, upon leaving the Guanyin Hall, they found no trace of agarwood.
The Mu family searched everywhere, but dared not report to the authorities. After all, Chenxiang was of marriageable age, and if news of his kidnapping spread, wouldn't it damage the Mu family's reputation?
As night fell, Chen Yu still hadn't found Chen Xiang, so she decided to go to the Gao family to find out what was going on. A few days ago, she had rejected Gao Feng's marriage proposal, and perhaps this was part of the Gao family's plan.
Hongyu rushed over, pulled her into the room, closed the door, and said, "Sister Yu, we've found Chenxiang. He's trapped at the Hongwang Princess's treacherous banquet."
