From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

"I'm not as broad-minded as you. Since I'm going to marry her, I'm going to marry her once. There's no need to do it so many times." Bai Yanli's attitude was very firm.

"Humph." Zhou Ziyue sneered, "Mr. Bai, you are too confident. What does the Bai family have that is better than the Yongning Marquisate? Is it worth your confidence?"

"Nothing." Bai Yanli said, "The good thing is that I haven't been rejected by the eldest lady of the Tang family yet."

"You!" Zhou Ziyue felt suffocated by his words. He really brought up something irrelevant.

"Bai Yanli, I heard that you were engaged to the second young lady of the Tang family. The second young lady of the Tang family is also very pretty. Why don't you keep your promise and spend the rest of your life with her? Why do you have to get entangled with the eldest young lady of the Tang family?"

"With your disposition of being easily bored with the old and liking the new, what qualifications do you have to pursue the eldest daughter of the Tang family?"

"Whether I'm qualified or not is not up to you to decide." Bai Yanli said, "If I wasn't qualified, Miss Tang wouldn't have approved my post, right?"

"Besides, my engagement with the second young lady of the Tang family was cancelled two years ago." Bai Yanli said, "I am a free person. It is my freedom to pursue anyone. There is no need for Master Zhou to worry about it."

Zhou Ziyue's face was very gloomy: "It seems that Mr. Bai is insisting on marrying Tang Wanru?"

"Since Prince Zhou cannot marry her, does that mean he does not allow others to marry her?"

"Bang!" Zhou Ziyue suddenly slammed the table and stood up.

Sui Qi beside Bai Yanli and Liu An behind Zhou Ziyue drew their swords at the same time. The two men glared at each other and the atmosphere immediately became murderous.

"Bai Yanli! Don't forget your identity." Zhou Ziyue said coldly, "You are just a merchant. Even if you have gained some influence in the capital in the past two years, how can you fight against the Yongning Marquis' Mansion? If you are smart, you can marry the person you should marry and live a peaceful life. If you covet others, don't blame me for being rude."

"I'll take you back to where you came from!"

You're welcome?

He wanted to see how rude he was.

Bai Yanli couldn't help but laugh: "Prince Zhou, marrying a wife is a matter of ability. You can't use coercion or bribery to stop others from marrying you if you can't get one. The Bai family can't fight against the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, but it may not be that easy to get the Bai family to return to Jiangnan as you said."

Staring at Bai Yanli's calm and unmoved face, Zhou Ziyue's heart was filled with rage.

"Prince Zhou, drink slowly. I have something to do and I'll leave first." After saying that, Bai Yanli stood up lightly, turned around and went downstairs.

Staring at Bai Yanli's back, Zhou Ziyue's eyes were very cold.

“Is the imperial examination about to begin?”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Ziyue said nothing more. Didn't the Bai family think highly of themselves? He wanted to see who he was qualified to marry after he pulled the Bai family down.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziyue's gaze fell downstairs, and he stared at the woman in front of the porridge shop in a daze.

At the intersection, there is a porridge shop.

"Give me a bowl of porridge." Zhou Ziyue lifted his clothes and sat at the table, instructing the waiter.

The waiter was startled and looked at his fancy clothes: "Sir, I'm sorry, but we don't sell porridge to outsiders. We only give it to the poor and disaster victims."

Zhou Ziyue was in an irritable mood and slammed the table and shouted angrily: "I said give me a bowl of porridge!"

The young man was startled, and seeing Liu An holding a sword in his hand, he dared not say anything. He was at a loss as to what to do.

"Prince Zhou wants to drink porridge, the shop next door has it, why bother the waiter?"

The familiar voice made Zhou Ziyue's heart skip a beat. He turned around immediately and saw Tang Wanru standing there.

"Just like that." At this moment, Zhou Ziyue somehow felt that the anger in his heart had disappeared by half.

Seeing that she had finished her words and was about to leave, Zhou Ziyue stood up and said, "Tang Wanru, do you think the Bai family can protect you?"

"The Bai family is just a merchant family, rich but without power. People like them won't last long in the capital."

Tang Wanru was speechless: "Whether the Bai family can last long or not, you can talk to the Bai family. Why are you telling me?"

"Wanru, don't waste your time on Bai Yanli, do you understand?"

"That's my choice. What does it have to do with you?" Tang Wanru was too lazy to say a word to him.

Seeing that Tang Wanru didn't look back, Zhou Ziyue said, "Wanru, I will never give up on you. You belong to Yongning Marquis Mansion, and you belong to me. Even if you reject me countless times, I will not give up."

Tang Wanru looked back at him leisurely.

Yes, if he gave up, who would take care of their whole family then?

Who would wash his mother's feet in the desert and massage his father's broken legs?

The Yongning Marquisate is selfish to the extreme.

Zhou Ziyue was the first to be hit.

"Okay, as your Highness wishes, I will give you countless chances not to give up." After saying that, Tang Wanru glanced at him coldly, then turned and left.

Zhou Ziyue looked at her back and clenched his fingers silently.

Tang family, study.

This year's imperial examination was approaching, and Tang Jiang was busy with examination matters in his study. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Liu and Tang Yue'er were standing outside.

Tang Jiang suddenly felt overwhelmed, but he still said patiently: "Panchun, you have to knock on the door to enter the study."

This aunt of his really lacks manners. I can't remember how many times I've said it.

Liu Panchun said, "Master, the rumors outside are getting more and more absurd. How come Yue'er became the target of public criticism just because she fell into the water at Prince Wei's mansion? All the dirty water and stinky water are thrown at Yue'er!"

Tang Yue'er followed Liu and also looked very aggrieved.

"What happened again?" Tang Jiang put down the pen in his hand and asked.

Liu replied, "I heard that Zhao Sheng was looking for a wife for his youngest son Zhao Huandi, and the rumors on the street actually said that our Yue'er and Zhao Huandi are the most suitable! Isn't this nonsense?"

"I don't even know that Zhao Huandi, so how can I be the best match for him when he wants to marry?" Tang Yue'er said aggrievedly.

"Master, our Yue'er is a legitimate girl in someone else's boudoir. What is that Zhao Huandi? He is a complete playboy. He has played with all the maids in the Zhao family. Now he wants to get involved with our Yue'er. It's really ridiculous." Liu complained.

Tang Jiang was overwhelmed by what he heard. He really didn't want to care about it. "Isn't it just a rumor? I didn't ask you to marry him right away. Just listen to it. Don't take it to heart. It will be gone in a few days when the storm has passed."

"Master!" Liu said, "Have you noticed that since Yue Er fell into the water at Prince Wei's mansion, anyone can come and step on her. If this continues, what will happen?"

Tang Jiang was speechless: "Then what do you want to do? Your reputation has indeed been ruined. Now it is better for you to be quiet and not make trouble."

Isn't it just them who are responsible for the Bai family's marriage?

Whenever Tang Jiang thought about the Bai family, he felt a little disgusted with Tang Yue'er's affairs.

Tang Yueer's eyes turned red when she heard this.

"Master!" Liu said, "How can you blame Yue'er for this? You didn't even know Yue'er fell into the water. Yue'er was..."

Tang Jiang was frowning when a servant came to the door and bowed, saying, "Sir, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhao Sheng, is here to visit."

"what?!"
