Yongninghou Mansion.

Zhou Ziyue hadn't eaten for two days. Today, he was reluctantly called out by Mrs. Du, but he looked depressed even when he sat at the table.

He is angry.

He got angry when he thought of what Tang Wanru said to him that day!

I'm so angry that my heart, liver and lungs are all aching.

He was the only prince of the Yongning Marquisate. His father had fought alongside the emperor in the war and had received so much honor. But now he was rejected by the daughter of a small fifth-rank official time and again. How could he put his face aside?

I remembered what Tang Wanru said, that she felt sick just by looking at him.

He was even more angry and his teeth were itching.

Mrs. Du saw that Zhou Ziyue looked haggard after returning from the Tang family. She could not eat and asked the maid who was feeding her to put down her chopsticks and said, "Ziyue, what happened at the Tang family that day is not because of the theft that I will not marry Tang Wanru."

"The truth is that the Tang family's legitimate daughter has no intention of marrying into our mansion." Madam Du said, "If mother hadn't taken advantage of his thieving daughter to step down, the two of us and our Yongning Marquisate would have been held hostage by the Tang family's eldest daughter. We are the Yongning Marquisate, if this gets out, where will our face be?"

"I know." Zhou Ziyue certainly knew that what Tang Wanru had said to him was very clear.

She won't marry.

If they continue to force it, they will only lose face.

Mrs. Du sighed and said, "Ziyue, you and the eldest daughter of the Tang family are not destined to be together. Don't think about her anymore."

Ah!

No fate?

Zhou Ziyue sneered. This woman had made him lose his mind for so many days, and made him lose face for the Yongning Marquisate. Now the whole capital knew that the eldest daughter of the Tang family had rejected him, Zhou Ziyue, twice!

Is it okay to just say we are not destined to be together?

Zhou Ziyue thought coldly that he didn't need her before, but now, he wanted her!

She is just a little legitimate daughter. Who does she think she is? She even looks down upon the Yongning Marquisate. What kind of family does she think she can marry into?

He just wants to marry her!

He wanted her to suffer with him, and he wanted her to know that this was her fate!

She couldn't escape from his grasp.

He wanted to trample this noble and proud lily under his feet and crush it!

Make her pay the price for her ignorant refusal!

"Zi Yue?" Seeing that Zhou Zi Yue didn't say anything, Mrs. Du asked tentatively.

Zhou Ziyue said nothing, but suddenly picked up the chopsticks and stuffed rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

Anqing Restaurant.

Tang Wanru sat by the window on the second floor, facing the shop downstairs. Wang Hua came out of the shop.

He was in his early thirties, tall and thin. He wandered around and exchanged a few words with the delivery boy, then asked the servants to move the goods in. After that, he turned around and joked with the cute young wife selling goods at the door.

He is a very versatile person.

Tang Wanru looked at him from a distance and felt that his face looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

It seems that this person was the one that Liu had planted in Lin's shop.

Was it also him who gradually brought all the shops under the Liu family's control?

wrong.

Tang Wanru felt that it was not that simple. The man in front of her was at best a small fry, and Liu herself was not that smart.

There must be someone behind him.

Who is that?

Tang Wanru fell ill too suddenly after returning from her previous life, and knew too little about her mother's secrets. Now she has to learn about them one by one.

But don't worry, she is here, so no one can make any difference in her hands.

Tang Wanru thought casually and put the tea to her cherry-red lips and took a sip.

Suddenly, she saw a carriage driving to Yunshuijian's shop, and Wang Hua jumped onto the carriage and got out.

Tang Wanru's eyes lit up.

That was Tang Yueer's carriage.

Tianxiang Restaurant.

Tang Wanru saw Tang Yue'er's carriage stopped in front of the restaurant. Wang Hua whispered a few words in Tang Yue'er's ear and then took her in.

From a distance, Tang Wanru saw Tang Yue'er wearing a very beautiful bright red long dress and a delicate red hairpin on her head. She had put a lot of effort into her outfit. She glanced at the carriage parked at the door again.

A large and luxurious carriage also stopped in front of Tianxiang Tower.

Tang Wanru's mind moved, this was exactly the Bai family's carriage.

Bai Yanli is here?

Tang Wanru raised her eyebrows slightly.

So Tang Yue'er is here to find Bai Yanli?

Tang Wanru thought to herself that now that she had come here in this life, everything was under her control.

But there was one thing that did surprise her.

That is the attitude of Bai Yanli, the second son of the Bai family, towards Tang Yueer.

In the previous life, the Bai family treated Tang Yue'er very well from the beginning. Not only did they not reject the marriage proposal, but when Tang Yue'er first met Bai Yanli in the Prince of Wei's mansion, Bai Yanli acknowledged the engagement with Tang Yue'er.

After that, the relationship between the two progressed very smoothly, and the specifications of the proposal and betrothal gifts were second only to those of the royal family.

I heard that Bai Yanli doted on Tang Yue'er after the marriage. Less than a year after they got married, Tang Yue'er gave birth to a boy.

The family is very happy.

Before Zhou Ziyue came back, Tang Yue'er was almost spoiled by Bai Yanli.

In this life, although she had used tricks to sow discord between the two, Bai Yanli's dislike for Tang Yue'er was beyond her expectations.

What is the trick here?

Thinking of this, Tang Wanru stared at the sign of Tianxianglou, thoughtfully.

"Mr. Bai, someone invites you to a gathering in the private room on the second floor." Bai Yanli was drinking tea in the Tianxiang Restaurant when the shopkeeper Jiao Niang came up and handed him a note.

When he opened it, he saw a line of soft, small characters inside, which were obviously written by a woman.

It said that something had to be returned to Mr. Bai and he was asked to go upstairs to get it.

"Master." Sui Qi handed over the note.

Bai Yanli didn't even look at her. His gaze wandered out through the half-open window and happened to see Tang Wanru entering Tianxiang Tower.

What is this girl doing here?

Bai Yanli glanced at the note, thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Go upstairs."

The door opens with just one click.

This is not a private room, but a guest room.

A fragrance flew out from inside, causing Bai Yanli at the door to frown slightly. He hated this smell.

He frowned, but still walked in.

Someone immediately closed the door behind him.

Then a soft cry came from the bedside. Bai Yanli looked up and saw a woman sitting on the bed. She was wearing a bright red tube-top dress with a bright-colored gauze dress on the outside. She was holding a handkerchief in her white hands and sobbing and wiping her tears.

Bai Yanli narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized that the person sitting there was none other than Tang Yue'er.

He turned and left without saying a word.

But Tang Yue'er's sobbing became louder, which sounded really pitiful.

Bai Yanli paused and turned around.

"I heard you wanted to give me something." Bai Yanli came back nonchalantly, lifted his clothes and sat on the stool and asked, "What is it?"

Tang Yue'er raised her tearful eyes and stared at him: "I'll give it to you, do you want it?"
