Since they came to Fuyun Courtyard, Shen Guidi made some corresponding arrangements according to what they knew.

Jingyue is of calm, quiet and well-behaved nature.

Shen Guidi originally wanted her to help manage Fuyun Courtyard and be a head maid, but Jingyue refused, saying only that she wanted to work in the kitchen and didn't want to interact with people. So Shen Guidi let her go to the kitchen.

She is well-read, intelligent, and relatively calm.

Shen Guidi asked her to learn how to do accounting from the accountant in the mansion, and she also taught her personally for a few days. Yaoshu learned very quickly, so Shen Guidi simply asked someone to find some old account books for her to learn.

Therefore, she stayed in the mansion most of the time.

After finishing his work, he likes to go into the kitchen, and he likes to pester Jingyue to think about food no matter what.

Xiaoliu was promoted from a cleaning maid.

I have a simple personality, I love to eat and play, and occasionally I like to slack off and be lazy. All in all, there's nothing wrong with me.

She is a relative of one of Wang Huan's servants.

Because she was too young and could not endure any hardship, Wang Huan thought of a way to arrange her to live in He Qingchen's Fufeng Courtyard.

In the past, Xiaoliu's job was the easiest.

Fufeng Courtyard is He Qingchen's courtyard. It has the most servants serving it and is the easiest to clean. It is a clean and tidy courtyard. Naturally, there is nothing for Xiaoliu to mess around with. She can have plenty of time to slack off there.

After following Shen Guidi, nothing happened.

They cooperated with Chunlan to serve Shen Guidi every day. Shen Guidi was not used to being served by others, so their work was much easier. Shen Guidi even often took her out to eat and drink, which greatly satisfied her little hobby.

As for Chunlan.

She is the most insightful and thoughtful one among Shen Guidi's four girls.

Shen Guidi simply let her stay by his side and serve him.

Although they didn't stay with Shen Guidi for a long time, they all lived well. Therefore, they cherished and protected Shen Guidi very much because he didn't treat them as servants.

The three people in front of me are all from the Lin family.

In the eyes of Xiaoliu and Chunlan, there is not a single good person in the Lin family, so they naturally won't let these people run around here.

Lin Churan and the others felt very uncomfortable being stared at.

They could only stretch their necks again and again, hoping that Shen Guidi would appear sooner.

Fortunately, Shen Guidi didn't make them wait long.

About two quarters of an hour later.

Shen Guidi changed into a set of light home clothes.

She sat down slowly and glanced lazily at the untouched snacks in front of Lin Churan and her daughter. She raised her eyes and fell on the faces of the mother and daughter: "Tell me. What do you want me to do?"

She came straight to the point and had no intention of probing them by talking slowly.

Lin Churan glanced at her aunt.

Immediately.

As if she had mustered up her courage, she took a box from her aunt and handed it to Shen Guidi. She lowered her posture and asked for help in a gentle voice: "I hope the princess can help me escape tomorrow's wedding and cancel the engagement with the Zhao family."

The Zhao family is Madam Qi’s maiden family.

Her nephew is called Zhao Hongjun.

He is a sickly person.

The doctor had predicted a few years ago that he would not live for many days.

Originally, he was in good health, but when he was young, he fell into a cold pond outside the temple while trying to save Qi Heng, and caught a cold and injured his body, and he has never recovered since then.

For this reason, not only Old Madam Qi, but also Qi Heng, were tolerant and caring towards Zhao Hongjun.

It would have been fine if Zhao Hongjun had not lived long.

This is still a hasty one.

A few years ago, after his first wife passed away, he never remarried.

Public opinion in Beijing was constantly discussing him, and the most talked about issue was that he was in poor health.

After being married for many years, the original wife died without giving birth to a child.

In order to prove that he is capable, that he is not a sickly person and can still move, he has taken in concubines one after another over the years. Now, there are more than twenty concubines, big and small, in the entire backyard.

Some time ago, for some unknown reason, he actually started clamoring to remarry.

Old Madam Qi felt sorry for him and helped him look around, but she couldn't find any noble lady from the capital who was willing to fall into her trap. There was no other way, the old lady could only rely on her own power and status to find one among her own relatives.

During this search, she actually found a few unlucky people who could get Zhao Hongjun's consent.

Among these unlucky guys, there is Lin Churan.

In fact, Shen Guidi was also on the list, but Old Madam Qi had some concerns, and Shen Guidi's horoscope was not compatible with Zhao Hongjun, so she was removed from the list.

The rest of the people were also eliminated for one reason or another.

Therefore, the only unlucky person left was Lin Churan, who had an extremely "suitable" horoscope, had no status in the Lin family, and was destined to be sacrificed and used as a tool for the family's prosperity.

After deciding on the candidate, the Zhao family quickly set the wedding date.

Lin Churan also fought back.

A middle-aged man who is two times older than her, about the same age as her father, in poor health and astringent.

Marrying him would be like stepping into a fire pit.

Lin Churan cried and made a fuss, and even went on a hunger strike in protest. She tried every possible method.

But it was completely useless, and gradually, she began to resign herself to her fate.

It was at this time that Lin Qingran escaped from the marriage, and Shen Guidi married into the Prince of Yan's Mansion instead, and then she was killed by the Lin family and returned to Mamukang.

This gave her endless hope.

From then on, she always paid attention to the news of the Lin family and Prince Yan's Mansion, which led to her going to the palace to plead for mercy today.

Lin Churan didn't know if she could succeed today.

But even at this last moment, she still wanted to give it a try, even though she had very few chips in her hand.

Shen Guidi glanced at the box she placed on the table.

Seeing her eyes on the box, Lin Churan took the initiative to say, "Princess, the things in the box are what you want. My aunt said that you will understand once you see it. I just hope that you can help me with this since my aunt specially found the things for you."

Lin Churan's eyes were fixed on Shen Guidi.

In fact, she wasn't very sure.

Just trying my best.

If Shen Guidi can help her, then this thing can be regarded as the sincerity of this transaction.

If Shen Guidi couldn't help, she had at least established a connection with Prince Yan's Mansion. Who knows, one day, when the Zhao family is in dire straits, she might be able to use such a favor again.

The burning sensation on Lin Churan's face was particularly intense.

Shen Guidi was silent for a moment and looked away from Lin Churan.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head to take the box, and slowly opened it. What came into view was the Shen family heirloom jade pendant that she had asked Lin Huaian for when she detained Lin Wei that day.

Shen Guidi's pupils trembled slightly.

She slowly reached out, took out the jade pendant, and looked at it several times.

Shen Gui's eyes were fierce, and his hands unconsciously stroked the marks on the jade pendant. The words he spoke were like spitting ice, but he was not looking at Lin Churan, nor was he asking Lin Churan: "How come this thing is here with you?"
