Tang Ze patted Du Cheng'an's chest with the back of his hand and winked at him.

This time Du Cheng'an understood.

Tang Ze and Prince Yanping both took him to Prince Ling's mansion and spoke for him. It would be petty for him to continue to be hesitant.

Du Cheng'an bowed to Xie Jingyan respectfully and said sincerely, "I really want to marry Miss Yan. Please help me, Prince Ling."

Du Cheng'an has a kind nature and has always been close to Xie Jingyan. Moreover, it was the Prince Consort who asked him to ask Xie Jingyan for help. More importantly, he and Yan Qing'er are in love with each other. Since he has asked for help, Xie Jingyan will definitely help.

Hearing Xie Jingyan's agreement to help, Du Cheng'an's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, could not help but jump for joy. The Prince of Yanping patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can rest assured that Prince Ling will help you this time."

Du Cheng'an also wanted to feel relieved, but he felt relieved too early twice before.

His mother, Princess Huyang, is of noble status. Everyone said that his mother came personally to propose marriage for him, so the marriage would definitely be settled. But in the end, didn’t it still not happen?

However, he knew that the marriages of the Prince of Yanping, Tang Ze, and Lu Cheng were not smooth, and he wanted everything to go smoothly without any setbacks, which would be unpopular.

The next day, after breakfast, Shen Wan urged Xie Jingyan to go to the Yan family to propose marriage to Du Chengan.

Xie Jingyan said, "It's just a proposal for him, there's no rush."

Shen Wan said, "Why not? He just feels embarrassed to rush you. I can feel it even when I'm in the room."

"It's better to get this done sooner rather than later. There might be a smallpox outbreak someday."

In the past two days, Shen Wan has been racking her brains to think about when the smallpox broke out and when the blizzard began, but it has been too long and she really can't remember.

Once smallpox breaks out, Shen Wan will be worried about Xie Jingyan going out again, so it is better to settle this matter as soon as possible.

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan, "Don't you need me to accompany you?"

Shen Wan said, "Finish your work early and come back to have lunch with me."

That's more or less.

Xie Jingyan kissed Shen Wan before getting up and leaving.

After Xie Jingyan left, the nanny carried the child into the house. Shen Wan played with the child, and the child danced with joy as the rattle shook his body.

We were having fun, and then Xie Jingyan came in.

Shen Wan was confused, "Why are you still in the mansion?"

"It's done," Xie Jingyan said.

"..."

Shen Wan looked at the clepsydra in a trance.

Only two quarters of an hour had passed since I urged him to go out...

He just arrived at Yan's house at full speed and he helped Du Cheng'an arrange a marriage?

Didn't lie to her?

Shen Wan was very suspicious, "You didn't go to Yan's house?"

"Did not go."

The answer was very straightforward.

Shen Wan looked at him, "Then how did you get it done?"

Xie Jingyan sat down, pinched Shen Wan's nose and said, "I didn't go to Yan's house, but my cousin came to me for something, and I took care of this matter by the way."

To help Du Chengan get engaged, one should go to his house in a formal manner, but Xie Jingyan and Yan Zheng don't need to be so reserved.

Xie Jingyan rode to Yan Mansion on horseback. Before he left Prince Ling's Mansion, he ran into Yan Zheng who came looking for him.

Before Yan Zheng entered the mansion, Xie Jingyan arranged the marriage outside the mansion.

Xie Jingyan gave one of the engagement jade pendants prepared for Du Cheng'an and Yan Qing'er to Yan Zheng, and asked Chen Feng to deliver the other one to Du Cheng'an.

Shen Wan had nothing to say about this efficiency.

If she hadn't urged Xie Jingyan, he would have helped Du Cheng'an arrange a marriage without even having to go to Mo Yuxuan.

The wind was howling outside the window, making the windows rattle. In the yard, there was a clanging sound of something breaking, which scared Shen Wan.

Haitang came in and said, "The wind blew down two tiles from the eaves..."

It was a very bad day. There was some sunshine in the morning, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered with dark clouds and windy.

Shen Wan said, "Tell the maids not to walk under the eaves. The wind is too strong. Try to stay in the house when you have nothing to do."

The princess was kind-hearted. She hadn't left the house for several days and was worried that the servants in the mansion would be injured.

Haitang went down to pass on the message.

Haitang came in after delivering the message and had just opened the cotton curtain to enter the room when a little maid in a light pink skirt and jacket ran over, steaming as she spoke. She said, "Quickly report to the prince, Guard Chen Feng is injured!"

Yin Shuang was standing by the bed, watching the young master's eyes following the rattle. The maidservant reported loudly, and she heard it, her heart immediately rising.

Then Haitang asked, "How did Chen Feng get hurt?"

The little maid replied, "It seems like something hit me on the street..."

How could you be so careless?

Isn’t he very good at martial arts?

Yinshuang was worried and wanted to curse.

She looked anxious, and Shen Wan saw it and said, "If you're worried, go to the pharmacy."

Yin Shuang blushed and said, "Slave, I am not worried..."

"It's windy outside, so be careful when walking," Shen Wan said.

"..."

Yin Shuang ran away with a red face.

When I was leaving, I heard Shen Wan's laughter spread out, "It seems that today is a good day, suitable for engagement."

Yinshuang's already red face suddenly became hot. The cotton curtain was lifted and a gust of cold wind blew, which was so refreshing.

Yin Shuang went out with Mo Yuxuan holding an umbrella, and came back half an hour later, supporting Chen Feng.

Chen Feng leaned half of his body on Yin Shuang, pressing her waist so hard that it almost broke.

Yin Shuang walked into the room rubbing her aching waist. As soon as she entered, she found her princess and Haitang looking at her with a smile but without saying a word.

The temperature on Yinshuang's face rose again. She wanted to walk, but her feet seemed to be fixed there.

Shen Wan asked, "How is Chen Feng injured?"

Yin Shuang blushed and said, "I got internal injuries from being hit. I was told I need to take medicine for a few days."

Haitang asked, "Why is the injury so serious?"

Yin Shuang said, "It was windy outside, and the sign in front of Deyue Building was blown off. Chen Feng was injured because he was trying to save people."

Then, Yin Shuang said, "Chen Feng is the prince's bodyguard. He was hit so badly, he needs compensation from Yuelou."

Compensation is certain.

They don't need to tell her that Deyue Tower should also pay compensation.

Shen Wan said, "I don't know who the owner behind Deyue Tower is."

She looked at Xie Jingyan.

Xie Jingyan coughed lightly, "The owner of Deyue Tower is your eldest brother, your cousin and my husband."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Shen Wan couldn't believe it. "Deyue Tower has been open for several years. How could it be opened by you guys?"

Xie Jingyan said, "I went to Pingyang Marquis's Mansion to learn military tactics and martial arts from my father-in-law. Your eldest brother helped me to be your eldest cousin's backer. It was I who asked my father to write the three words 'Deyue Tower' in person."

Shen Wan, "..."

Is there any mistake?

They were only twelve or thirteen years old at that time.

He opened such a big restaurant quietly and no one knows about it?

Why has no one dared to cause trouble for Deyue Tower over the years? Not only because no one knows who the boss behind Deyue Tower is, but also because of the inconspicuous plaque. People who are familiar with the emperor's handwriting can recognize that it is written by the emperor himself. How glorious it is to have the emperor write it personally, but Deyue Tower does not publicize it, which makes it seem that the person behind it is extraordinary.

Shen Wan said, "It's really well hidden."

Xie Jingyan said, "Deyue Tower has always been managed by your eldest cousin. Your eldest brother and I have never asked about it."

It has to be said that the eldest brother would find a backer for the Yun family. At that time, nothing had happened to Concubine Chen, and Xie Jingyan was the quasi-crown prince in the eyes of civil and military officials. There are more reliable things than finding a future emperor as a backer. However, no one expected what happened later. Although Xie Jingyan was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum and broke his legs, Deyue Tower was not affected at all.

Thinking of Deyue Tower, Shen Wan was suddenly stunned. She remembered that in her previous life, the signboard of Deyue Tower hit the carriage of the wife of the Left Prime Minister. At that time, Xie Jingyin had already ascended the throne, and the Left Prime Minister's Mansion was in its heyday.

The owner of Deyue Tower came to apologize with generous gifts. The family of Zuo Xiang's wife was extremely dissatisfied and asked the owner of Deyue Tower to go in person. The owner of Deyue Tower did not show up that day and the building was sealed off by the government the next day.

She remembered that smallpox broke out in Kyoto just two days after Deyue Tower was sealed off.

Shen Wan suddenly lost her focus, and Xie Jingyan asked her, "What's wrong?"

Shen Wan looked at him and said, "In three days, smallpox will ravage Kyoto."
