After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

Zhuoran's appearance made Shen Rongyue unable to help but have wild thoughts again.

Shen Rongyue was directing the placement of the screen. Seeing beads of sweat on Zhuoran's forehead, she unconsciously said to him, "Thank you for your hard work, little brother."

Zhuoran raised his head and narrowed his peach blossom eyes, "You are too polite, Madam."

Shen Rongyue's heart was pounding.

Everyone else called her Concubine Shen, but Zhuoran alone kept calling her "Madam". The ordinary word was called out with an unusual meaning...

Unconsciously, the two of them began to have eye contact...

When the screen was placed in the room, Qin Yueze praised it highly, "This glazed screen is colorful and bright, like a dream, it is a rare and precious item that is rarely seen. Second sister is really thoughtful."

After saying this, he ordered people to reward generously the servants from the general's mansion who came to deliver the screen.

A few servants received the reward and were about to say goodbye and leave, but they saw another person coming to the gate.

"My Lord, someone from the Sun family is here to see you—"

Qin Yueze frowned when he heard this, "Again? Go and tell the person who came that I'm busy and don't have time to see you!"

Having made up his mind to get rid of the Sun family, he stopped claiming to be sick and directly stated that he did not want to see them.

According to Chu Xinglan, almost everyone in the capital thought that he was going to marry Sun Xiuqing. How could that be possible?

It doesn’t matter if others misunderstood me, but it would be bad if Shen Qingyin misunderstood me.

Now is the critical moment for him to capture Shen Qingyin, and he cannot make any mistakes.

At this moment, while the people in the General's Mansion are still there, it is a good opportunity to distance oneself from the matter.

The gatekeeper looked embarrassed, "My Lord, I'm afraid that's not possible...Grandmaster Sun came in person and brought cakes made by his granddaughter. He insisted on seeing you eat them so that he could explain to his granddaughter when he returned..."

Qin Yueze felt annoyed when he heard this.

"Forget it, I will go there myself."

Well, it would be better to reject Sun Yiliang directly in one go than to waste time arguing with the servants of the Sun family.

Seeing that their master had something to do, several servants from the general's mansion said goodbye and left.

Qin Yueze said it was on the way, so he asked a few servants to go with him to the main gate.

Today, he must distance himself from the Sun family in front of the general's mansion, lest Shen Qingyin, who does not know the truth, believes the rumors outside and misunderstands that he is going to marry Sun Xiuqing...

At the gate of the palace.

Seeing Qin Yueze coming out to greet him personally, Grand Secretary Sun was extremely happy.

"Oh, it turns out that the prince is well now, that's great! Then, can we sit down and discuss the marriage?"

Qin Yueze bowed and smiled, "Grandmaster Sun is so kind to me, and I am touched, but I am afraid there is a misunderstanding... I have no plans to get engaged recently..."

As for Sun Yiliang, it is better not to offend him if possible.

Even though what he said was a little subtle, a university scholar wouldn't have failed to understand, right?

Sun Yiliang smiled slightly after hearing this, "No plans in the near future? Then when does the prince plan to get engaged?"

In his heart, his granddaughter is the best girl in the world. She is not only beautiful, but also talented. Although she is a little stubborn, her merits outweigh her flaws.

He never thought about who would dislike his granddaughter.

In fact, Qin Yueze didn't dislike her, but he couldn't marry her...

Seeing that Sun Yiliang really didn't understand, Qin Yueze had no choice but to make it clear, "Grandmaster Sun, I'm afraid that this prince and your granddaughter are not destined to be together. It was all a misunderstanding before..."

Sun Yiliang finally understood.

His expression suddenly changed, "Does the prince look down on my Qing'er?"

Qin Yueze said hurriedly, "Master Sun has misunderstood. It is because I know that I am not worthy of Miss Sun, and I dare not let Miss Sun down..."

He tried to speak in a gentle tone and sincerely as possible, but he still didn't want to offend Sun Yiliang easily.

Sun Yiliang turned around and walked away with a cold face.

"Goodbye, Grand Scholar Sun." Qin Yueze said respectfully behind him.

There's nothing I can do about it, I've offended you even though I didn't want to.

But he finally managed to clear himself in front of the servants in the general's mansion.

"Alas, it's all a misunderstanding. It's impossible for this prince to marry into the Sun family." Qin Yueze sighed, reiterated his feelings, and turned to look at the servants in the general's mansion.

But when he turned around, he found that those servants had disappeared.

"Where are the people? Where is the servant from the general's mansion?" he asked the servant beside him.

"I left. I followed you out. Seeing that you were going to receive guests, I left through the side door..."

Qin Yueze felt annoyed for a while, but then he thought that since he had cleared himself of the matter, the rumors outside would soon stop, so he had to give up.

However, what he never expected was that not long after he returned to the room, the servant beside King Kang came to tell him that the Minister of Rites Su He and the Cabinet Scholar Qin Ming were talking in the front hall and asked him to come over.

The identities of both of them should not be underestimated, and Qin Yueze hurried to the front hall.

After they sat down, they realized that the two men came to the palace for no other reason than to act as lobbyists for the Sun family.

"Your Highness, Prince, to be honest with you two, I have seen Miss Sun. She is a beauty of her generation, intelligent, and talented. She is truly rare." Su He started praising Sun Xiuqing as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qin Ming also agreed, "Yes, Grand Secretary Sun dotes on this granddaughter the most. If not, he wouldn't have asked us two to come to his house..."

Prince An looked at Qin Yueze with embarrassment.

He also knew his son's plan.

But first the Grand Secretary came in person, and now two more adults came to act as lobbyists. I really don’t know how to refuse...

"Thank you both for your concern for my marriage. I know that Miss Sun is hard to find in this world, but I already have someone in my heart and cannot accommodate anyone else..." Qin Yueze said it clearly without any hesitation.

There is no comparison between Sun Xiuqing and Jiangshan.

Having said that, the two of them had nothing more to say and stood up to leave.

Looking at the two people's leaving backs, Qin Yueze thought that the matter was finally over.

But bigger trouble is yet to come.

That evening, the Minister of Rites Su He came again in a hurry, his face pale.

It is said that when Sun Xiuqing learned that her marriage was rejected, she committed suicide in her mansion. If she had not been discovered in time by the servants, she would have died.

"Your Highness, Young Master, Miss Sun is determined to marry you. If this matter continues, it will not only be detrimental to the Sun family, but also to our palace. If something bad really happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve..." Su He advised sincerely.

King Kang was so frightened when he heard this that he broke out in a sweat.

What Su He said makes sense.

At this point, if the granddaughter of Grand Secretary Sun really died, his son would definitely be involved. Once his reputation is ruined, the consequences are unpredictable...

He turned to look at Qin Yueze, waiting for Qin Yueze to make a decision.

He knew his son's plan, but he never understood why he insisted on marrying Shen Qingyin.
