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

"Who are you going to marry when nothing has been accomplished?"

"Dad." Zhou Ziyue suddenly figured it out. "I discovered today that she is not an ordinary woman. With so many people present today, she was able to see that there was something wrong with Liu Chang. She is smart and wise, and she is clear-headed at critical moments, unlike ordinary women."

"If I can marry her, it may be beneficial to us." Zhou Ziyue emphasized, "Not only in our lives, but also in our major events."

Zhou Wucai was stunned when he heard this.

Then he shook his head.

"I think you are completely bewitched by her." He sneered, "What benefit can a woman like her bring?"

"Dad, believe me." Zhou Ziyue said, "She is really different from others."

"Ah." Zhou Wu was speechless. "You can't get your work done, and you have to deal with these things. The prince has already complained a lot about us."

"What's the point of complaining?" Zhou Ziyue sneered, "Dad, at this point, he can't even protect himself, we have to think of a way out for ourselves. My marriage is now a big deal in the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. Otherwise, when the truth comes out, there will be no woman to use in the family. How much suffering will you and mother have to endure? Even if you can bear it, what about my mother?"

Hey.

Zhou Wu just thought of this and his face turned pale. He frowned and asked, "Ziyue, didn't your mother ask Tang Wanru before? She didn't want to, and now you are asking her again, will she agree?"

"Dad, you have to show up this time."

"If the girl doesn't want to, what's the point of me stepping in?" Zhou Wu was speechless.

"Dad, this time she has to be willing whether she wants to or not. It's not up to her!" Zhou Ziyue's expression was very serious.

"Oh?"

"Dad, something went wrong in the imperial examination this time. The emperor is going to investigate the examination personally, so someone must be held responsible. Tang Jiang, the Minister of Rites, was also involved in this. We must arrest him in this matter and make his daughter marry to us."

Imperial examination?

After hearing this, Zhou Wucai nodded suspiciously.

Tang Mansion, Qingyu Courtyard.

It was dark, and as soon as Liu came in, Tang Yueer came up excitedly and asked, "Mom, no news yet?"

She sent Liu Duo to pass a note to Zhou Ziyue asking him to help suppress the Bai family so that she could gain Bai Yanli's favor.

Logically speaking, if there was any result, Zhou Ziyue would ask Liu Duo to pass the message to her again. Why is there no news at this late hour?

"No." Liu shook her head.

"How could there be no news?" Tang Yue'er was very surprised. The Bai family was just a merchant family. Wouldn't it be easy for the Yongning Marquis' Mansion to control a poor citizen? How could there be no news?

Tang Yue'er was a little anxious and paced around the room.

Liu said, "Yuer, don't worry. If Prince Zhou has any result, he will tell you."

Not in a hurry?

"How can I not be anxious?" Tang Yue'er suddenly became impatient. "The child in my belly is growing day by day, but his father is still not found. What will happen if it is delayed any longer?"

Hearing her words, Liu also felt resentful. She said, "You didn't listen to what I told you a long time ago, and now you are anxious."

Liu was very angry about her giving herself to Zhou Ziyue without permission, and she was even angrier about her pregnancy.

"Mom." Tang Yue'er sat next to Liu, "What's the point of you saying this now?"

Liu had a cold face and said nothing more.

"No." Tang Yue'er said, "The prince is too slow in doing things. If this continues, nothing will be done in time."

"What do you mean?"

"I told him last time at the Prince of Wei's mansion that we can't use soft means to deal with Tang Wanru, we have to use force. If he makes Tang Wanru pregnant like me, how could she not marry him?"

"If Tang Wanru had no choice but to marry him, then the Bai family wouldn't want to marry her instead of me."

Tang Yueer's analysis was very logical.

"Then what do you want?"

"How?" Tang Yue'er stood up and said, "Of course, let Prince Zhou be tougher on Tang Wanru, leaving her with no way out."

After hearing what Tang Yue'er said, Liu felt that there were some risks. She said, "Yu'er, you are pregnant now, so you should not show up in public. I will go to the outer courtyard to see Grandma Wang in the next few days. You wait for a while, and then we will listen to her opinions and make a decision..."

"No, I can't wait any longer." Tang Yue'er had a plan in mind, "Don't worry, mother, I have already thought of a way."

"What is it?"

A hint of darkness flashed across Tang Yueer's eyes.

Late at night, by Hua Lake in Beijing.

Coming out of Yunxiang Tower is the largest flower lake in Beijing. The bright orange-red lanterns are hung around the lake, outlining its beautiful shape. It is late at night, and people are coming and going by the lake.

Tang Wanru came out of Yunxiang Tower and walked slowly along the lake.

Bai Yanli also came out of Yunxiang Tower and followed her closely.

The two people walked forward one after the other in silence.

Tang Wanru knew he was behind her, but she didn't look back. She felt that this young master of the Bai family was indeed not like an ordinary person.

Just now in the ointment incident in Yunxiang Tower, it seemed that the emperor came out to rescue him, but in fact she could hear it.

Every word Bai Yanli said was carefully considered, and hit the emperor's heart with great intention.

Only then could the emperor defend him so decisively.

For a moment, Tang Wanru even wondered if he was reborn like herself.

Thinking of this, Tang Wanru suddenly stopped, gently tilted her head, and looked at the shadow of Bai Yanli reflected in the water by the lantern.

Bai Yanli also stopped at the right time and let her think about her own shadow.

Since thinking yielded no results, Tang Wanru withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward.

Bai Yanli raised the corners of his lips slightly and continued to follow her steps.

Looking at her back, Bai Yanli felt puzzled.

He really underestimated her.

He thought she was giving out porridge just to fulfill her promise to him and win the favor of his parents.

I didn't expect that she really had other purposes.

The two sentences she said in Yunxiang Building that directly exposed Liu Chang were so brilliant that he was amazed.

She was so confident, as if everything was under her control.

Looking at Tang Wanru's long black hair, Bai Yanli was a little dazed.

Just as the two of them were walking forward with their thoughts in mind, a carriage suddenly rushed past them. The speed of the carriage was so fast that Bai Yanli saw that it was about to hit Tang Wanru's shoulder. He subconsciously stepped forward, stretched out his hand, hugged Tang Wanru's waist, and pulled her body back: "Be careful!"

Then Tang Wanru turned around and fell directly into his arms.
