"Miss, will Prince Yan go?" Chunxiao was still worried. After all, this was related to the young lady's future life.
For a woman, if she meets an unreliable man, her life will be ruined.
Xu Lingyi stared at the ink stain on her palm and wiped it carefully. "Since he promised to help me find my ideal husband, he will most likely go."
Although they only met once that day, she could see that Prince Yan was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.
"Miss, what if Prince Yan is delayed and can't go?" Chunxiao was still worried.
"If he doesn't go, I have other options."
The system gave him so many props that it was easy for him to protect himself and kill people.
But she is now weak and alone, and she will not attack others unless it is absolutely necessary. However, it is easy to knock someone unconscious with a knockout drug.
…………
"Mother is going with you today just to see him. If he's not good, Mother will definitely not let you marry him..."
In the past few days, Xu's mother has been trying to find out, but the few pieces of information brought back by the maids and old women have made her increasingly worried.
But because of my mother-in-law and the appointment I had with the other party, I can only meet him once today.
She also had some extravagant hopes in her heart, that perhaps the other party might not be that unbearable.
Xu Lingyi looked up at Madam Xu and said, "Thank you, mother."
She didn't say anything else because she knew that Madam Xu could not influence the old lady's thoughts, and the old lady was still the one who really called the shots in the backyard of the mansion.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Xu Mansion."
When Prince Yan heard the letter from the Xu Mansion, he thought of the extremely beautiful eyes he saw that day.
"Bring it here." Qi Yuan put down his official business and spoke in a deep voice.
Seeing the contents of the letter, Qi Yuan frowned.
"What happened to the prince? What did Miss Xu say in the letter?"
Qi Yuan handed the letter over. Gu Qingfeng looked at the contents of the letter and was a little surprised.
"The Xu family actually chose a match for her so quickly? Or is it that widower from the Anding Marquis's Mansion?"
Gu Qingfeng's expression was as ugly as King Yan's at this moment.
The Xu family really doesn't treat their daughter as a human being. Not to mention the complicated personnel in Anding Bo's family
What kind of character that widower has? Don’t they know it even if others don’t know it?
He was driven out of the military camp by the prince in the past. Relying on the support of the emperor's eldest grandson, he was arrogant and licentious, and did not restrain himself in the military camp.
"Doesn't that old widower already have two sons? How can this be..."
Gu Qingfeng covered his mouth again after he finished speaking, "Not that old, only twenty-seven years old, the same age as you, Your Highness."
"But of course my character is not even half as good as yours, Your Highness."
Qi Yuan looked over coldly with sharp eyes.
"No, no, I mean, how can he compare to a noble like you, Your Highness..."
"Is the Xu family so anxious?" Qi Yuan's fierce eyes narrowed slightly.
Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment: "If I remember correctly, Miss Xu seems to be seventeen this year, perhaps almost eighteen?"
Qi Yuan lowered his eyes and frowned slightly, "Only seventeen years old."
Gu Qingfeng sighed, standing aside with his arms folded. "Your Highness, you don't understand worldly matters. Women in the capital are different from men. Most of them are married at the age of seventeen, and very few wait until eighteen. She is seeing him now, and will have to go through the procedures of accepting marriage proposals in the future. So, she will probably be married at eighteen."
So it is understandable that the Xu family is anxious.
Qi Yuan's eyes were dark: "According to what you said, she will be getting married soon?"
Gu Qingfeng nodded.
"How can one find a good match in such a short time?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. She's already been engaged once. If she doesn't hurry up, it'll be even harder for her to get married when she's an old maid."
Qi Yuan's fierce eyes narrowed slightly and he said no more.
"Your Highness, do you want to go and see it? Or do you want to directly ask the Xu family to cancel this visit?"
Qi Yuan thought for a moment, thinking of Xu Lingyi's tearful eyes that day. If Wei Fuchi had not died, she would not have encountered these misfortunes.
"I'll go there myself and visit the Xu family again."
————
"Is this your eldest daughter? She's so pretty."
Even though Xu Lingyi was wearing a veil at the moment and her face could not be seen clearly, just looking at her figure, it was enough to guess that she must be an extraordinary beauty.
Madam Xu nodded: "Yes."
"Come on, let's go inside and talk."
The customs of the Qi Dynasty were more open than those of the previous dynasties, and it was common for unmarried men and women to meet each other.
After the two families exchanged greetings, only Xu Lingyi and the man in front of her were left.
"I've heard that the White Horse Temple has beautiful scenery. Shall we go and take a look?"
Xu Lingyi did not refuse.
"Miss Xu, aren't you hot with your veil on? Take it off so I can see your face."
He agreed to meet Xu Lingyi because he heard that she was extremely beautiful. Otherwise, he would not be willing to marry a woman who would bring bad luck to her husband.
Xu Lingyi shook her head slightly and whispered, "I'm not hot."
Her voice was soft and gentle, and particularly pleasant to the ear. Just three simple words made his whole body go numb.
With his experience of seeing countless women, she must not be ugly.
"Take it off even if you're not hot. Let me see your face. If you're really as beautiful as the rumors say, I'll definitely marry you and hold you in my arms forever."
His eyes were fixed on her, his gaze fixed on Xu Lingyi's chest for a long time.
Then he stared down at her slender waist with a greedy grin on his face.
Xu Lingyi took a few steps back and said, "Master Xu, we are just looking at each other..."
The man sneered at her naiveté, "What do you mean by seeing each other? I chose you, not you. My father is your father's immediate superior. As long as I give the nod, your family will send you here."
