"..."Wei Hanzhang was so frightened by his crying voice that he was at a loss what to do.

The two grew up together, and she had never seen Gu Yunran cry since she was seven years old.

No matter how badly she teased him, he just glared at her angrily and never showed any sign of weakness.

He had taken two concubines without telling her and was so indifferent to Rouniang's death. She was so angry that she planned to end this relationship. But even if they didn't talk about love between men and women, the friendship they had grown up with was still there, and she couldn't bear to see him like this.

Gu Yunran took a long time to recover his usual expression and forced a smile at her, "I came here to tell you that my father will be back tomorrow. When he comes back, I will come to propose marriage."

"Ran Ran," he said, his eyes showed joy, his eyebrows and eyes were flying, and he looked very beautiful, "Don't you like to bully me? Then marry me quickly. If you marry me, I will let you bully me for the rest of my life."

lifetime……

Wei Hanzhang was infected by his emotions and smiled as well, but quickly restrained himself.

She had no idea at all. Their marriage had been full of twists and turns. Would this marriage proposal really go smoothly? Or, knowing that the princess' daughter favored their son, would the Gu family still consider her, a girl from the second house of the Marquis's mansion, as their daughter-in-law? And... and Xiao Boqian, would he tolerate her marriage being settled?

Thinking of Xiao Boqian, Wei Hanzhang felt a sudden panic in his heart. He pinched his palms hard to suppress the emotions rising in his heart, turned his head and said, "You go back first."

"I don't want to go back. Can I go into your yard and take a look?" Gu Yunran had endured so many days to finally see someone. How could he be willing to go back so easily? He asked carefully, "I want to see what your current residence is like."

"It's inconvenient," Wei Hanzhang took a step back, not wanting to look at his aggrieved face, "We are not children anymore."

"But we are engaged..."

"Then wait until we're engaged!" Wei Hanzhang interrupted him and whispered, "It's just a verbal agreement now. I can't let you enter my yard."

Gu Yunran stood stiffly where he was, his hands clenched tightly around his sleeves, not understanding why everything had changed.

First, Ranran discovered that he had two concubines, and then Ranran returned to Beijing. When they met again, everything had changed.

They were so good when they were in Xuzhou, how could they be so distant that they couldn't even enter the courtyard? He already knew he was wrong, he shouldn't have taken in those two concubines...

The seventeen-year-old boy stood blankly on the bluestone bricks, looking at the girl in front of him with pitiful eyes, which was really heartbreaking to see.

But Wei Hanzhang still didn't let him into the yard. She didn't know why. Perhaps it was some kind of sensitivity similar to that of a small animal that reminded her that she really had to let Gu Yunran into her yard today...

...Anyway, her sixth sense told her not to do this.

After seeing off Gu Yunran who was reluctant to leave, Wei Hanzhang did not go back to the next door. She looked at the sun and decided to go and accompany her sixth sister who was going to get married in a month.

Wei Hanshuang is the legitimate daughter of the prince of a marquisate, and she is marrying into the Shen family, which is also a marquisate. Naturally, the wedding cannot be rushed. The family started getting busy with it several months ago, and the dowry has already been prepared.

When she arrived, Wei Hanshuang was embroidering her wedding dress. A family like theirs certainly didn't need to do everything themselves, so they just embroidered a few stitches for a good omen.

Seeing her cousin coming, Wei Hanshuang stopped her needlework, told the maid beside her to serve tea, and then hurriedly stood up to greet her.

"Why isn't Ranran staying in your Tingfeng Pavilion today?"

Just as he was about to make a few jokes, he saw the red marks on his sister's face that were more obvious than yesterday. Wei Hanshuang couldn't help but frown and said, "You should have accepted the bottle of medicine from Master Chen yesterday. It's a recipe passed down from his ancestors and never sold to outsiders. Even if you don't have any injuries, it's good for beauty. The noble ladies in the capital can't even get a bottle for a thousand gold coins, and you actually refused again and again."

As she spoke, she blamed herself a little, "It's also my fault. You are a shy girl, I should have accepted it for you at that time."

"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent for a moment, then pulled her to sit down and said, "Aren't you also a girl? Why do you think you are a woman when you haven't even gotten married yet?"

"We are different. My wedding date has been set. Prince Chen is the nephew of my future mother-in-law, so we are somewhat related by marriage. It doesn't matter if I accept his ointment."

Wei Hanshuang was not uncomfortable being teased by her sister, but said seriously: "But you are different, Ranran. I think that Prince Chen seems to be interested in you... You can't accept his things."

Wei Hanshuang paused as the topic extended to this point, and couldn't help but smile, "You are not familiar with the capital city because you just returned. The prince of Duke Chen's mansion is unique among the noble sons of the capital city. He is also handsome, but he is too picky. He has never been married at the age of twenty. I wonder how many noble ladies have dreamed of him."

"Sixth sister, please don't tell me these things," Wei Hanzhang said helplessly, "What does his excellence have to do with me?"

"Why is it okay?" The two sisters were close, and they were the only ones in the room. Wei Hanshuang had nothing to hide, so she said frankly, "In my opinion, your marriage with the young man from the Gu family may not be successful if the young woman from the Qi family interferes with it."

Wei Hanshuang had also heard about Qi Yuxiao's status as a princess being stripped. She smiled and said, "Everyone says you are blessed. I think it's true. Qi Yuxiao offended you yesterday, and today she lost her status as a princess, and I heard she was slapped in the face. With her face-saving personality, she won't be able to see anyone for at least ten days or half a month."

Wei Hanzhang also thought that this was quite a coincidence, and she became a little curious about the prince whom she had never met. She really wanted to know why he suddenly got angry with his own niece today when he had presented her with a coming-of-age ceremony yesterday.

As for the marriage...

Wei Hanzhang was also quite unsure. According to Gu Yunran's thoughts, the marriage would definitely not change, but it was not his turn to make the decision in the Gu family now.

Even though Qi Yuxiao no longer holds the title of princess, she is still the only daughter of Princess Changle and the granddaughter of the current emperor.

Besides, the Crown Prince and Princess Changle are brothers from the same mother and are Qi Yuxiao's uncle. No matter how severe the punishment is today, the blood relationship is there, and who knows when the Crown Prince will restore his niece's status as a princess.

Not to mention her mother's family, Qi Yuxiao's father's family is also a super-class duke's family, which is much more noble than hers, who is born in a marquis's family and is a girl from the second room.

A girl from such a family fell in love with their son, would Gu Yunran's parents not be tempted? 　It's the last day of PK2. I will know the result today. I hope I can pass it smoothly~~~~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
