Chapter 175 Thank you: Pick up Manman after get off work

"Yuanyuan! Please come back tomorrow!"

Shen Yuan was about to leave the palace, but Fu Jiaqi was still holding her and was reluctant to let go, which made Shen Yuan laugh and cry.

"Is it so boring for you to be the prince's consort?"

"Well, who said it wasn't? But now that you're here, things are going to be more interesting."

Ye Can said to the three people, "Unfortunately, I have something to do tomorrow and I have to leave the palace. We can't play tomorrow. Let's do it another day."

Fu Jiaqi wailed to Shen Yuan and Liu Pengpeng, "Ah... we only played for one day."

Shen Yuan smiled and shrugged, indicating that there was nothing she could do now.

"Let's do it another day. Take a rest tomorrow and play with your second prince."

Fu Jiaqi didn't think too much about it and replied subconsciously: "I can only play with him at night, he is not here during the day."

After she finished speaking, she noticed that Ye Can and Liu Pengpeng looked at each other strangely, "What are you thinking about!"

Shen Yuan turned around silently. She wasn't married yet, so she didn't understand.

"Peng Peng! I'm back!"

"Oh, your third prince is back, hurry back."

They were all in the eldest prince's courtyard. The third prince asked the palace maid and came straight here.

Fu Jiaqi saw the person coming and nudged Shen Yuan with her elbow, "Oh, it turns out the Third Prince didn't come alone."

The third prince raised his eyebrows in response, "I told you, your Yuanyuan must still be here."

Ye Can said with a smile: "You two can go now, someone is here to pick you up."

Just as Shen Yuan was about to salute, the Third Prince stopped him, "Don't dare, we don't have to be so polite."

The Third Prince stepped forward and took his wife's hand, not forgetting to say to Fu Jiaqi: "Second sister-in-law, Second Brother has also received an errand and is going to the Ministry of Works. I guess he forgot the time for a moment."

"It's okay. It's only a few steps to home. I'm leaving now. I'll come back to you later."

Fu Jiaqi waved to the three people and went back with them.

After Xie Hui and Shen Yuan said goodbye to the others, they prepared to leave the palace together. Walking on the palace road, Shen Yuan said with emotion: "After the emperor arranged the marriage, no one would have thought that they are so close now. Could it be that the emperor is really the reincarnation of Yue Lao?"

"Love is something that comes from getting along with each other. The eldest prince and the third prince are not heartless people. Even if the emperor does not grant them a marriage, they should be able to live well."

Xie Hui was sure that when the emperor first arranged the marriage, he did not consider whether his sons would like it or not.

After hearing this, Shen Yuan asked Xie Hui with an embarrassed look on his face, "What about you? What if the emperor arranges a marriage between you and another girl?"

"I'm not his son, he can't control my marriage, so this is not a problem." Xie Hui directly grabbed the girl's hand and said, "I will only marry someone I like."

"Ah, it's a good thing you met me, otherwise you would be single forever, right?"

"Yeah, luckily I met you."

On the long palace road, the shadows of the two people walking together were stretched out by the setting sun...

…

Ye Can only brought her personal maid out of the palace today. She had an appointment to meet someone at Tianyue Building.

"Your servant Lu Shuyan has met the eldest prince's wife."

"No need to be polite, come and sit down."

After everyone else had left, Ye Can asked, "Don't be nervous, Miss Lu. I'm not here to call you to task today. His Highness told me that he and Commander Yuwen met you on their way back to the capital. I'm here today because of His Highness's request."

"It was out of urgency that I asked Commander Yuwen for help. If the Crown Princess heard any rumors, please understand that they are not true."

On the day she entered the city, Gao's nanny saw her with Yuwen Mu. Lu Shuyan could guess that Gao would make a fuss about this. She also knew that the reason why Yuwen Mu said that he was following the eldest prince's orders to escort her back to the capital was because he could see that the nanny had bad intentions, so he said that on purpose.

Gao really didn't dare to make up more stories about this matter. Firstly, because the prince was of noble status, she didn't dare to say anything nonsense about her. Secondly, if her father, Si Nanbo, knew about this, her father would definitely find ways to get her to marry the eldest prince. Lu Shuyan knew that Gao didn't want her to marry well, even as a concubine.

Unfortunately, when Gao was talking about this with the nanny, Si Nanbo happened to hear it. Si Nanbo was now thinking day and night about "selling his daughter for a good price". After hearing the news, he went to do it without considering his daughter's feelings at all.

Yesterday, her mother had a big fight with her father because of this matter. Lu Shuyan was not surprised after receiving the invitation from the eldest prince's wife.

"Don't worry, young lady. I haven't heard any rumors. I've seen you before, and I know you're not the kind of girl who would be willing to be someone's concubine. His Highness wants me to remind you not to be arranged to get married without your knowledge. Although it's right to obey your parents' orders regarding marriage, it depends on what kind of parents they are."

The eldest prince mentioned this to Ye Can, and Si Nanbo found someone to bring it up in front of him, saying that his daughter wanted to marry the eldest prince, even as a concubine.

The eldest prince knew that it was ridiculous for Lord Si Nan to favor a concubine and kill his wife, but he didn't know he was so ridiculous. Even if he was a prince, there was no reason for him to take the legitimate daughter of the Lord's family as a concubine. Moreover, he had met Lu Shuyan and could guess that this was probably Lord Si Nan's own idea.

Therefore, before leaving Beijing, he specifically instructed his wife to meet with Lu Shuyan and remind her to be careful because her father was not a human being.

Of course, Ye Can didn't want to say this originally, but she knew that Lu Shuyan was a smart girl and would understand what she meant.

Lu Shuyan also knew a little about everything her father had done, but today, she still wanted to thank the First Prince and his wife for their kindness.

"Shuyan thanks you and the eldest prince. Shuyan will pay attention to it in the future."

Ye Can shook my hand, Lu Shuyan, and said, "You're welcome. Although nothing will happen this time, you still have to plan for yourself in advance."

After meeting the eldest prince's wife and returning home, Lu Shuyan heard the maid come to her hurriedly and tell her that the lady and the uncle had quarreled again, and this time they even pulled knives.

When Lu Shuyan heard that a knife was going to be used, she ran over without giving it much thought. But when she saw that it was her mother holding the knife to her father's neck, she felt relieved. As long as her mother didn't get hurt, that was all that mattered.

Si Nanbo saw his daughter coming back and said with wide eyes, "Shu'er is back, why don't you put her down!"

"If you dare to plot Shu'er's marriage again, I will chop you to pieces!"

"What do you mean by calculating? Shu'er's surname is Lu. She is not yours alone, but my daughter. Is it wrong for me to want her to marry well?"

Lu Shuyan walked in and said in a cold voice, "Father, the eldest prince has just got married, and you are arranging for him to take a concubine. This is not appropriate. Besides, you are an earl after all. If your daughter becomes a concubine, even if it is a prince, people will laugh at you. There are many noble families in the capital who have not married yet. We should make plans. What do you think?"

Si Nanbo also laughed, "Shu'er is still sensible."

"In that case, father, you should keep Gao's mouth shut. It would be bad if she spreads nonsense outside and ruins your daughter's reputation."

She is the only daughter of her father, and Lu Shuyan knows that her father is waiting to sell her at a good price.

"Shu'er, you are joking. How could your aunt ruin your reputation?"
