Feng Chan looked at his back, not knowing that tears started flowing from his eyes the moment he turned around.
"Why did he suddenly get engaged?"
Feng Chan was unwilling to give up. After Lan Heling left, she left the Poetry and Painting Society, got on the Royal Guards' carriage, and returned to the palace.
Yu Jinshu was enjoying all kinds of delicious food for the baby in her belly. When she saw Feng Chan coming to her with tears in her eyes, she was frightened and quickly stood up.
"Chan'er, did Lan Heling bully you?"
Feng Chan cried, "Sister-in-law, he just said he's engaged and that he won't be going to the Fulin Poetry and Painting Society for a while. He's so heartless!"

Feng Chan shook her head: "He never told me."
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "It's you!"

Feng Chan asked excitedly, "What happened next? Why did you agree?"

Just through this incident, we can see the terrifying nature of imperial power in this era.
