Chapter 460 Going to Du Mansion
"You're not optimistic?" Du Zhixu was surprised. "You don't want Prince Xiao and Huanhuan to continue their engagement, do you?"
"No! I'm worried that Prince Xiao is still thinking about Huanhuan."
"No! He agreed to the replacement, so naturally he doesn't have romantic feelings for Huanhuan."
Du Zhiyi patted his head and said, "Have you forgotten that Prince Mu had brought people here in a hurry to intercept us halfway and find out the people that Cheng Xiao had planted in our camp?"
Du Zhixu was shocked. "Do you suspect Prince Rong and his son are planning a rebellion?"
Du Zhiyi nodded. "Prince Xiao agreed to the replacement, probably because he wanted the support of our Du family. The current situation in the court is very clear. If Prince Xiao behaves himself, he will definitely be in power. He doesn't need to consider our Du family's opinions at all. He can completely disagree with the replacement. The little prince is now being taken care of by his sister. They must be anxious, so they agreed to the replacement."
Du Zhixu thought for a moment and said, "You're right. Doesn't that mean Prince Xiao wants both of his sisters?"
"It should be. There are irreconcilable conflicts between my sister and Huanhuan. It's best for my sister not to marry him. If my sister shows any reluctance tomorrow, we must firmly refuse her. Don't hold her back!"
"Don't worry, I won't."
At six quarters past three in the morning, the two brothers arrived at their camp.
Zhu Qian, who was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Song Yu didn't come over, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if they saw him.
Song Yu, a weak woman with only one guard, could not escape Wei Feng's ambush.
Zhu Qian hurried to the ambush circle two miles away, but there was no news of Wei Feng.
He can't take it lightly.
At the hour of Mao, Song Yu was taken up a tree by Ah Si to check the surrounding environment.
"A Si, Yun Yan, the Huguo Temple should be a hundred miles to the east. Let's go around to the Huguo Temple and head north from there back to the capital."
Ah Si: "Not only is the east route difficult, but it might be afternoon by the time we get there. Going north again, it might be night time before we get back to the city, and we won't be able to enter the city until tomorrow. It's better to take the Yunyang official road. Even if there's an ambush up ahead, it's closer to the Du family army's base, so it's easier to ask for help from them."
Song Yu said, "There are only seven of us. Two more people will stay to guard Wei Feng, so there are only five of us left. The number of people ambushing ahead will only increase. You all suffered some injuries last night. You must not get hurt again. Take a detour!"
Yunyan said, "Today is the day when Prince Rong and his family come to discuss the marriage. If you take a detour, you will miss it."
Song Yu looked at her and snorted, "If we miss it, we miss it. Anyway, this engagement will only count! Du Zhihuan is anxious, but I didn't say I wanted to marry Prince Xiao."
Yunyan was dumbfounded. Since Song Yu didn't want to marry Prince Xiao, "That was your engagement in the first place. And if you marry Prince Xiao, you'll be a princess in the future, and maybe even... Don't you want to be a royal daughter-in-law?"
Song Yu curled her lips and smiled. Her father was of royal blood, so she was naturally a member of the royal family.
What does a royal family member do as a royal daughter-in-law?
"I don't care. If Du Zhihuan didn't have any other thoughts, I could still let her continue her engagement with Xiao Shizi today and let her be with Xiao Shizi forever. It's a pity that she wants to harm me, and then her good fortune will be completely ruined!"
Yunyan felt complicated for a moment.
The eldest lady never thought of marrying Prince Xiao from the beginning.
He wanted to take back his own engagement, but he was just angry.
If the second lady really no longer covets Prince Xiao, she won't compete with the eldest lady for him.
Things wouldn't have come to this.
The eldest lady stared at the second lady's every move, just to make sure whether the second lady was really obedient and whether she would think of harming her.
Well, they are narrow-minded.
Song Yu was helped onto the horse by Ah Si. He glanced at Yun Yan who was standing there in a daze and said, "Let's go. You made your own fate and can't blame others."
Feng Yingying returned to the Jiang Mansion early in the morning. Today she had to go to the Du Mansion to discuss the important matter of marriage, so she had to be there.
As soon as Feng Yingying stepped into the second gate, she saw Jiang Yunzhou and his son Jiang Guanchen, dressed in casual clothes, waiting at the second gate and staring at Furong Garden.
"Are you and your son going to the Du residence to take leave?"
Jiang Yunzhou said, "Of course. I have to go with my sister to cancel the engagement."
"What?" Feng Yingying was puzzled. "What happened while I was away? Why should it be invalidated?"
Jiang Yunzhou whispered, "Prince Xiao is not worthy of Sister Yu. Even if he is, it will be invalid if Wanwan disagrees."
Jiang Guanchen squinted his eyes and leaned close to her ear, "Mother, you will know what's going on later. Don't be too surprised then."
Feng Yingying slapped him and said, "I want to know now. Hurry and give mother a quick death!"
"It's not the right time yet. Anyway, it's a surprise."
"Cloud Boat!"
Jiang Yunzhou: "I don't know either. My parents and son have been acting strangely these past two days."
"What's so strange?" Jiang Youya and his wife walked over in high spirits.
"Grandma, my mother wanted to know, but I didn't tell her."
Madam Jiang looked at Feng Yingying and said, "Chen'er, if you don't want to talk about it, then naturally it's time not to talk about it. When you get to the Du Mansion today, don't say anything. This engagement is off. Everything will depend on Wanwan's instructions."
Feng Yingying became more curious, "I understand."
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, we're here." Jiang Shiyun led Jiang Yunwan to the second gate. "Let's go now, my cousin must be waiting anxiously."
Prince Rong's Mansion
Zhuang Liyue came to Xiao Yanxu's room early in the morning with breakfast.
"Ah Xu, our godson's eighteenth birthday banquet will be held in five days. Our godson's marriage to Sister Yu has been finalized today. Tomorrow we will go to the palace and ask for our godson's title."
Xiao Yanxu was surprised. "Didn't you say you wouldn't ask for a title yet? Why are you suddenly asking for a title for your godson?"
Zhuang Liyue suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did Gu Yining keep delaying?
"I was wrong before. We agreed to come back and ask for a title for my godson. How could I not ask for one?"
Xiao Yanxu said, "It is absolutely impossible to ask for a title tomorrow. Before returning home, I will tell my brother the emperor that my son needs more experience. I will let him make a few more achievements before asking my brother the emperor for a title. The court officials will not dare to object. After all, having three princes in one family is not in accordance with the rules."
Zhuang Liyue nodded. "You're right, but we promised our godson we'd get him a title, and now we're breaking our promise. Will he think too much? Besides, we haven't even raised him for a single day in these eighteen years, so we already owe him. If we don't get him a title, we have to surprise him in some other way. Otherwise, we'll hurt his feelings, and what will he do if he ignores us in the future?"
Xiao Yanxu: "What surprise do you think Ning'er should give Gan'er?"
"Gan'er is your eldest grandson. In the future, the Rong Prince's Mansion will depend on him. At the same time, he must also help his brother. Yu'er, please guard the Dayuan Kingdom. You must protect Yu'er well. It's time to pass your legacy to Gan'er."
Xiao Yanxu immediately thought of the Dragon Guards. "Don't worry. I'll hand it over to my son when he officially inherits the throne. I've also informed my eldest brother about this."
Seeing his eyes become shrewd, Zhuang Liyue stopped talking about it. "Then do as you say. Let's eat quickly and go to the Du Mansion early. I can't wait to see Sister Yu right now."
Xiao Yanxu looked at Zhuang Liyue with eyes full of doting and tenderness, "I wonder if Miss Yu will recognize us if we show our true appearance to her?"
What's the meaning?
Could it be that this couple was secretly observing Song Yu during the days they disappeared?
Zhuang Liyue looked at his eyes and listened to his tone, and she guessed right!
Not only that, the couple must have been secretly observing Ayi and Ganer.
Thinking that she hadn't seen Ayi privately during this period, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course I wouldn't recognize him."
Zhuang Liyue is now Gu Yining's face. Xiao Hongyi was worried that if he appeared in front of the Du and Jiang families with her, the two families might notice something, so he did not go with her.
Zhuang Liyue knew his concerns, so she asked him to stay at the mansion to accompany Lin Yutang, and took Xiao Chengqian and a bunch of betrothal gifts to the Du Mansion.
I ran into Gu Wanqing, Gu Jinyan, and Gu Jinxuan, a family of three, at the gate.
"Sister, and us."
Zhuang Liyue saw that he had a smile on his face and didn't seem to doubt her appearance. "Brother, you really know how to hurry."
"Haha..." Gu Wanqing laughed twice, "I came here on time. This is a big deal for Ganer, so of course I have to pay attention to it. Let's go over there quickly. The Jiang family should be here."
He was anxious to see Jiang Yunwan and the baby in her belly.
This is his grandson!
Du Zhihuan had breakfast early in the morning and sent Bai Lan and the others out.
At this moment, he sat in front of the bronze mirror, carefully examining his ears and red mole.
Jiang Yunwan will come. She spends every day with Song Yu and knows her every move and smile. She must not let her notice anything unusual.
Keep smiling and talk as little as possible.
She agreed to everything Jiang Yunwan said, and she was sure it would be right.
"Miss." Bai Lan knocked on the door anxiously. "The eldest and second young masters went to Zhaohui Courtyard with the Jiang family. Miss, please go over quickly. Madam must miss you."
Du Zhihuan adjusted her breathing, suppressed her nervousness, and opened the door. "I miss my mother, too. Let's go over there quickly."
"Oh, by the way, Miss, the Jiang family is here."
Song Yu is actually valued so much by the Jiang family!
Du Zhihuan felt inexplicably sour inside.
Song Yu has everything!
She has nothing except the identity of the adopted daughter of the Du family!
"Then let's hurry up."
Du Zhihuan quickened her pace and rushed to Chaohui Courtyard.
