After hearing this, the Third Prince said to Ren Jiayu, "I am attracted to you." Seeing Ren Jiayu stunned, he repeated solemnly, "I have been attracted to you for a long time. But I am weak. I originally thought that Fourth Brother was a good person, but he didn't recognize the pearl."
"I was reckless before and stood up for you. I will be more careful next time."
"On a winter training ground, you, dressed in red, rode your horse, whip in hand. Your father and brother went off to battle, and you, along with the younger members of your clan, bid them farewell, bowing gracefully to them as they departed. Your grandmother was gravely ill and in need of a single herb, so you braved three checkpoints at night, arriving..."
Ren Jiayu suddenly looked up and asked, "Were the exit order and the medicine sent by Your Highness?"
"I have been sick for many years, so I need to have some medicinal herbs in my house..."
Ren Jiayu didn't believe it. The prescriptions that the Ghost Valley Strange Doctor had given her grandmother were filled with strange and bizarre medicines. Which family would have such medicines on hand? If the Third Prince hadn't helped her, she would have needed more than just one medicine.
Her grandmother was seriously ill, and everyone advised her to do her best and leave it to fate, saying that her life was at its end. When she was anxious and felt she could not bear it alone, he was the only one who obtained the exit permit for her...
"I..." The Third Prince hesitated, blushing slightly. "Will you marry me? If you need a few more days to think about it, I can wait."
"No need to wait." Ren Jiayu said.
The Third Prince looked at her and heard her say, "I will marry."
The Fourth Prince had not yet fully recovered from the news that his fifth brother had gone to the border to report to the Ren family army, when he heard that his third brother had knelt before his father and directly requested an imperial decree to grant him marriage. He would be marrying Ren Jiayu soon.
In a daze, he felt that he might have done something wrong and implicated many people, but looking at the expression on his third brother's face, he was just as happy as his fifth brother that day, and for a moment he was unsure.
But no matter what, it was over. When he thought that he and Xue Yinzhu still had the chance to be together carefree, as long as they chose a suitable mistress of the house, he became happy again.
But in the past three years, Concubine Su never dared to propose marriage to Emperor Mingzheng again. When the fifth prince came back from the border, Concubine Chen proposed the marriage proposal. The emperor was also about to arrange marriages for his two younger brothers, Prince Qing and Prince Yu. Only then did the fourth prince get involved, and the Spring Banquet to select a concubine was held.
The Fourth Prince was genuinely amused when he saw Wang Xipei trying to mediate a quarrel at the Spring Banquet. She wasn't angry at being confronted by her two friends, and even shared a box of snacks with Dahei. The Fourth Prince couldn't help but smile. What a good-tempered, kind, and gentle girl, so innocent and romantic, so adorable, and so young. As long as he taught her well, and with her temperament, she would definitely treat Xue Yinzhu well and treat her like a sister...
Wang Xipei was already on the verge of panic after hearing the latest news. She waited for her father and brother to go out for court, waited for dawn, and waited for her sister-in-law to go out to inspect the shop. She hurriedly ordered her four personal maids: two pretended to do her errands and went out through the front door in broad daylight; one went to watch outside her mother Shen's yard; and one followed her to run quickly to the backyard wall.
He skillfully moved away the large rocks and haystacks that blocked his view and prepared to crawl out of the hole in the wall.
The maid looked at the entire courtyard wall. There were about eighteen holes dug along the base of the wall. She was a little worried: "Miss, will we dig the wall down?"
Wang Xipei thought about it and realized it made sense. She had dug a number of holes in the backyard, thinking that if she exposed one, two, three, or five holes, she would still have ten or eight more.
She had indeed dug a bit too much, so while she was nimbly drilling out, she instructed the maid, "Find someone reliable and fill in a few first."
The two maids who were waiting there were busy tidying up her clothes and hair. The three of them got on the hired carriage and headed straight for the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
In the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, Wang Lingyi dealt out today's cards. After checking the accounts, she prepared to go out. She had to pay attention to the shop under her own name.
The private property that the young marquis had given her was truly incredible. It was shocking how much there was. After the accounts were settled, it was time to go through the private property of the marquis as well.
I was planning to go out when I suddenly remembered one thing. Books and woolen winter clothes are most likely to be eaten by insects. It is difficult to repair them once they are damaged. They have to be fumigated and dried at least twice a year. It is a big job that takes up an entire yard. Today is a good day, so I gave the order.
By the time Wang Lingyi had finished, Xuan Mo and Xuan Qing came to speak, so she had no choice but to sit down again.
Xuan Mo said, "Chun Liu was originally sent to the Second House to be raised. It was the Second House who adopted this orphan. Somehow, he was transferred to the Marquis' Mansion."
Wang Lingyi asked, "Second wife?" Then, remembering there wasn't a second wife in the mansion, she said, "Has she split up and moved out?"
Xuan Qing said: "Yes, the old master had two sons, one legitimate and one illegitimate. The eldest legitimate son is the old marquis of our mansion. When the old master was in his prime, the situation was chaotic. The master was away fighting for many years. From time to time, all kinds of news came out, and the days in this mansion were uneasy.
The old master's wife had a loyal maidservant who always stayed with her. Later, when she was old, she made the maid her concubine, and the concubine gave birth to a son. Later, the old master took both sons to the battlefield. After he returned from suppressing the rebellion, the eldest son became our old marquis and married Yun, who is now our old lady.
The illegitimate son later married Yang. It's said that the two branches had always had a good relationship when they were still in the Marquis's mansion. Later, the illegitimate son took a concubine, seemingly causing unrest in the family. Furious, the old master divided the family and expelled the illegitimate son's branch. Not only that, he later removed the illegitimate son's branch from both the family tree and the genealogy, completely severing the bond between father and son.
This Yu Chunliu was adopted by the Second House, and later sent to the Marquis' Mansion."
Wang Lingyi was just pondering this when she heard Bicui come in to report, "The Second Young Lady is here. It seems she has something urgent to do."
Then Wang Xipei came hurriedly and hugged Wang Lingyi: "Sister, help me think of a solution quickly."
