Inside the prime minister's residence, Ni Gaofei stood with his hands behind his back under an old tree, staring at the withered and yellow branches and leaves in a daze.
Ni Yueshan took the initiative to approach: "Dad, Zou Yangyao came to talk to you about getting back together?"
Ni Gaofei came back to his senses and looked at Ni Yueshan: "Yes, he said that the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. Although he is not a good man, there is nothing we can do about it! Alas..."
Even the Prime Minister’s Mansion cannot afford to disobey the Emperor’s orders!
Ni Yueshan chuckled, "Dad, don't worry. The imperial decree hasn't been issued yet, but the matter has already been settled!"
Ni Yueshan looked very confident. Ni Gaofei looked at her suspiciously, "You haven't been home all day today. Could it be... that you did something?"
"Dad, just wait for the news. I will never go back to the General's Mansion in my lifetime."

The next day.
Yu Fei made an appointment with Ni Yueshan to meet at a teahouse. Ni Yueshan did not delay and went there very quickly.
But when she arrived, she was surprised to find that it was Jing Yuchen waiting for her in the room.
Ni Yueshan looked around: "Where's Yu Fei?"
"She'll be here later, let's just be alone for a while."
Jing Yuchen was wearing a white robe with purple patterns and was making tea slowly. Ni Yueshan was never a shy person, so she walked over and sat down.
"What do you want from me?"
Although Jing Yuchen is a good person, she feels that marrying again will only bring troubles. It is better for her to be alone, comfortable and free.
"Good news for you."
His voice was light and he didn't even look at her, just making tea seriously.
Ni Yueshan held his chin and asked nonchalantly, "What good news?"
"After the court was dismissed today, my fourth brother asked the emperor for permission to marry Yang Wanqing."
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered. Surprise? No, not at all!
She had already anticipated that Yang Wanqing would strike while the iron was hot. After causing trouble at the Princess's Mansion, she would return to the Yang family and bring people to the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the middle of the night to continue causing trouble, right?
The legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel was slept with and asked to take responsibility. Doesn’t Jing Chengzhi take responsibility?
"Good."
Ni Yueshan responded calmly, without any emotional fluctuations.
Jing Yuchen stopped what he was doing and looked at Ni Yueshan, a wicked smile on his face: "Father was hesitating between me and my fourth brother at the time. Now that my fourth brother has withdrawn, you and I are about to get married."
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of smiles. It was as if he was looking at a prey, a prey that was about to be caught in his mouth.
Zou Yangyao had made an appointment with Ni Yueshan, he knew it, but Ni Yueshan rejected Zou Yangyao harshly.
She has no interest in Zou Yangyao at all...
So the test of Ni Yueshan was over, and the emperor's only grudge was probably gone.
"Nothing is finalized until the imperial edict comes down!"
Ni Yueshan also looked at him straight, but her eyes were full of confidence.
So confident that victory seems certain.
Jing Yuchen frowned, lowered his eyes, and continued to make tea.
"Do you dislike this prince?"
"It has nothing to do with you. I just don't want to get married again. I think I'm fine now."
Ni Yueshan didn't feel uncomfortable and responded calmly. Jing Yuchen curled his lips and smiled wickedly: "That's fine, let's decide on the engagement first and hold the wedding later."
"...Why did you choose me? Are you still thinking about Zou Yangyao? Instead of going through the trouble of marrying me, why not poison my tea now? It would be much quicker and easier!"
Why does the tangled web of power between them have to involve her?
There was a hint of anger in Ni Yueshan's tone, and Jing Yuchen could not fail to hear it.
He chuckled: "It has nothing to do with Zou Yangyao. Since you are his enemy, I will naturally not use him anymore."
Ni Yueshan was stunned. How could this be? Did Jing Yuchen mean that he gave up on winning over Zou Yangyao for her?
"Tsk, I don't believe it. You definitely can't win him over, so you're using me as an excuse. I never believe anyone would choose a woman over power and status!"
Ni Yueshan doesn't like to be sentimental, so she knows that compared to the position of crown prince, she is nothing!
Jing Yuchen didn't rush to explain. It seemed that Ni Yueshan's coldness towards him was due to her misunderstanding of him...
"Then we'll wait and see."
Wait and see who he chooses between power and women.
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen like an idiot: "If storybooks hadn't become popular yet, I would have thought you had read too many of them."
Power and women, who would choose love? We are all selfish!
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan in confusion: "Besides your drastic change in temperament, do you also like to say things that are incomprehensible to others?"
"Ahem, how many steps are left to make this tea? I'm thirsty! Just make me some! Don't be so troublesome!"
Jing Yuchen shook his head helplessly. The daughter of the prime minister should be a person of high standards.
But Ni Yueshan's manners and speech were not elegant at all, and were even a bit rude.
But, compared to the rumored inferior and cowardly Ni Yueshan, he felt that this one was more attractive.
Inside Yang's house.
When Yang Wanyan heard that the emperor had granted the marriage, she came to congratulate him, but she found it difficult to be happy.
"You came to congratulate me, but why are you making such a sour face?"
Yang Wanqing was letting the tailor tailor her wedding dress, while Yang Wanyan stood beside her with a melancholy look on her face.
"The general went to the prime minister's residence yesterday, apparently to take Ni Bitch back home. Your good days are coming, but I..."
She tugged at her handkerchief, feeling conflicted and sad.
Yang Wanqing frowned and said, "Everyone, please leave. We'll measure you later."
After everyone left, Yang Wanqing looked at Yang Wanyan and said, "Sister, didn't you use your burns as an excuse before? General Zou would definitely feel sorry for you and compromise with you, right? That's no longer effective now, right?"
Yang Wanyan wiped her tears helplessly: "It's useless, he doesn't want to see me at all!"
Yang Wanqing sighed, "Ni Yueshan played an indispensable role in my successful entry into the Fourth Prince's residence. The Fourth and Second Princes simultaneously requested permission to marry her, and only then did the Emperor ask the General to take her back."
"Now that I've been granted marriage, the Fourth Prince doesn't care about Ni Yueshan anymore, and the General doesn't need to let Ni Yueshan return home. You don't have to worry about it!"
Yang Wanyan shook her head vigorously: "No, the general knew that you and the Fourth Prince were granted marriage, but after he came back from court today, he asked the servants in the mansion to clean her room!"
"He still wants that bitch to return to the General's Mansion. I, I don't know why she attracts the General!"
Then Yang Wanyan covered her face and cried bitterly.
Yang Wanqing was stunned. Zou Yangyao no longer disliked Ni Yueshan, but instead liked her?
She frowned: "It's actually very simple. I entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion by improper means. We can do the same! Let Ni Yueshan and the Second Prince..."
She didn't finish her words, but Yang Wanyan understood her meaning.
"No! We can't let her marry someone superior to her husband! She doesn't deserve it!"
Therefore, even if Ni Yueshan had to make the matter a fait accompli, he could not do it with Jing Yuchen.
Yang Wanqing is confused, who should she turn to?
