Bai Zhiyi certainly didn't want to marry the Fifth Prince.
She married the Fifth Prince in her past life, but what happened? She was still imprisoned in the backyard with him.
Although the crown prince later released the women, she had nowhere to go.
Seeing that the former crown prince had ascended the throne as emperor, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no chance to stay by his side.
This life is different; she will not marry the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince may seem to be enjoying great success now, but that's only because the Crown Prince was deposed and the Emperor's other sons are all useless. This is how his abilities are being demonstrated.
But she knew that the Fifth Prince was extremely jealous of the Crown Prince.
He would seize anything the crown prince desired.
In her past life, it was because she admired the Crown Prince that the Fifth Prince found out, and when he heard that his father planned to marry her to the Crown Prince, he decided to take her away.
If he said he liked her, perhaps even he wouldn't believe it?
When Lin saw that she had her head down, she assumed that she was feeling down because of the wedding.
She couldn't understand why Bai Zhiyi would refuse such a good marriage offer. If it were her own daughter, she would have agreed immediately.
"Your mother's letter was just to ask for your opinion. If you have any thoughts, just tell her," Madam Lin said, holding her hand. "I see you're quite depressed. How about having your cousin host a flower-viewing banquet at the manor and invite the prominent women of Youzhou City to enjoy the flowers together? What do you think?"
Bai Zhiyi wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that in her previous life, her aunt's mansion had also held a flower appreciation banquet, and one of the attendees was the granddaughter of the Northwest General.
The general's granddaughter has been frail and sickly since childhood and rarely goes out. However, because there was some unusual activity in the Western Rong, the general needed the support of the powerful gentry of Youzhou, so he sent his granddaughter to attend the flower-viewing banquet at his aunt's house.
The Northwest General is from the Crown Prince's maternal family. Since she can't find out the Crown Prince's whereabouts, she might be able to get some information from the General's granddaughter.
She changed her previous refusal and said softly with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie."
There are only one or two famous families in Youzhou, among which the General's family is the most illustrious.
Of course they should be invited.
In his previous life, the Grand General passed away before the Crown Prince ascended the throne, but after the Crown Prince's ascension, he was posthumously granted the title of Duke of the First Rank.
This shows the important position the Grand General held in the Crown Prince's heart.
"Alright, I'll have your cousin write the invitations later." After saying a few more words to her, Madam Lin left.

Linyuan Village
After a few days of rest, Wei Jing's foot injury has almost fully recovered.
That day, Su Wan sat in the courtyard and asked him, "Ah Jin, when will my younger brother be able to come over?"
Even if she didn't say it, Wei Jingzhuo would have told her that he had just received a letter from Qingfeng that morning, saying that he had picked up Su Yuze, but they had encountered some trouble outside.
He sipped some warm water. "I had Qingfeng take him to a safe place. It's not safe here for now, but don't worry, that place is very safe. He's studying there under a different identity."
This is not a place where one can stay for long. Once those who are tracking him find out that there is no news of him in the Northwest Army camp, they will definitely come here again to investigate.
His foot injury has almost fully healed recently, and it's time for him to get moving.
While checking the newly sprouted potato seedlings, Su Wan asked, "Where did you send the person?"
Su Yuze is indeed not suitable to follow her now, but she also needs to find out where Wei Jingzhuo is hiding people.
“He’s in the south,” he said reassuringly. “It’s safe there for now. I’ve had Qingfeng arrange for someone to follow him, and we’ll hear from him every few days.”
He pulled a letter from his sleeve.
“This is a letter from your younger brother,” he handed the letter to Su Wan, “It just arrived this morning.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wan immediately took it and eagerly opened it to take a look.
The words above were indeed Su Yuze's handwriting. Although the handwriting looked immature and some strokes were wrong, it did not affect her reading ability, and she understood the general meaning.
After learning that she was safe but dared not show herself, Su Yuze said he could follow Lin Qingfeng's arrangements and go to the south.
He's doing quite well in the south now, studying with his teacher every day, and his life is much better than it was at the Su residence.
Finally, he asked her how she was doing and told her to write back to him when she had time.
Su Wan smiled broadly. Seeing that she was in a good mood, Wei Jingzhuo asked, "Are you satisfied with my arrangements?"
Su Wan folded the letter and put it away.
“I’m very satisfied, extremely satisfied,” she said, her eyes crinkling with joy. “I just don’t know when I’ll be able to actually see my brother.”
Wei Jingzhuo said calmly, "Wait a little longer."
He must clear all obstacles here and completely shake off the people chasing him before he can bring them over.
“Okay,” Su Wan stood up. “By the way, I promised to write a book about crops for you. I’ll take advantage of my free time now to write it down for you.”
Seeing how well she had arranged things for her younger brother, she decided to do something for him in return.
Wei Jingzhuo wasn't in a hurry, but seeing that she had already gotten up and returned to the house, he followed her inside.
The only table in the room was placed by the window, bathed in sunlight. A potted sunflower on the table leaned against the sun, and a gentle breeze carried its faint fragrance.
Su Wan put the book on the table, then moved out a chair. Just as she was about to start writing, she realized that there wasn't much paper at all, so she had to take out some printer paper from the apartment.
