Upon hearing this, Song Jinyu looked proud. What he said was indeed true. If something happened to him, his grandfather would really do this.

Tang Mumu pulled Ji Chu to sit down and looked at her carefully. It seemed that Song Jinyu had taken good care of her during this period. Although she didn't gain weight, she looked much brighter than before and smiled more often.

"Achu, I heard that you and Song Jinyu are going to get married on the 15th of this month. I am here to bless you. After you get married, you will be Madam Song."

After getting married, she will have someone to rely on, and Tang Mumu is really happy for her.

Hearing Tang Mumu's words, the smile on Ji Chu's lips froze.

Song Jinyu winked at Rong Yan, and the two went out together.

"Achu, don't you want to marry Song Jinyu? Don't you like him?"

Seeing that she and Ji Chu were the only ones in the room, Tang Mumu asked what was really in her mind. She saw it clearly and saw that when Ji Chu heard the word "marriage", there was loneliness in his eyes.

"Mumu, I don't want to get married."

"Why?" Tang Mumu couldn't figure it out. When they went to Lingnan together before, she could see that Song Jinyu was very considerate and caring towards Ji Chu.

"Song Jinyu has a good family background, good looks, and decent character, or do you believe the rumors and think he is just a playboy who likes to flirt with other girls?"

Apart from this reason, Tang Mumu couldn't think of any other reasons. To be honest, meeting men like Rong Yan and Song Jinyu is a blessing. Most women in this world rely on men, and it is not easy to meet a good man who can be relied on.

Ji Chu shook his head. "I've been with him day and night for such a long time, how could I not know what kind of person he is? The so-called philandering is just because he can't bear to see women suffer, and he always wants to help them when he sees them. People say he is a playboy, but it's just because they envy his good family background and like to make friends. There are always some people in this world who like to blame others for what they can't get. He is bright and sunny and has a pure heart. There are very few people in this world who are better than him."

"Since you know he's so good, why don't you want to get married?"

Ji Chu's eyes suddenly turned red, and her voice started to cry, "I will harm him, and the Song family as well."

Tang Mumu was also anxious, "What do you mean by that? You are just a little girl with nothing, how could you harm him and the Song family?"

"Mu Mu, you forgot that I also have a father who was accused of treason and collaboration with the enemy."

There is also a blood feud in which the entire family was executed.

"Achu..."

Ji Chu wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "Don't worry, in this situation, even if I don't want to get married, I have to be a bride. Grandfather has already confirmed the wedding date and the wedding dress is ready. I can't escape even if I want to. I can't refuse the title of the Song family's young lady."

"I just didn't expect that someone like me could have such a good thing as the Song family's young lady. How many girls in the capital must be heartbroken?"

Seeing that she was obviously upset but still wanted to joke with him, Tang Mumu felt very upset. Why were they so pitiful?

"Then if I become Princess Rong, won't there be girls in the capital who are heartbroken?"

"Probably not many. Although Prince Rong is handsome, his reputation makes many women stay away from him. In fact, among the princes, Prince Shun is more popular with girls, but I think Prince Shun is not very smart."

Tang Mumu burst out laughing. He actually dared to say that Prince Shun was not very smart. She thought Ji Chu was not very smart now either.

Hearing the laughter from inside, the two people outside the house turned around and left. When Song Jinyu didn't speak, he really looked like a gentle young man raised in a wealthy family.

"Do you know her concerns?" Rong Yan spoke first.

"I know. She is afraid of bringing trouble to the Song family and me. She wants to investigate that matter."

"What about you? Do you think General Ji is a traitor?"

"The entire Ji family has been executed, and the Ji family has been destroyed. It doesn't matter whether General Ji is that kind of person or not. For a person, the most important thing is to be alive. You can't take your achievements and reputation with you after you die."

Rong Yan pursed his lips and said nothing more.

He knew Song Jinyu's concerns. The search and seizure of Ji's mansion was an order from his father. The truth of the matter was no longer important to his father. Even if it was eventually discovered that there was something fishy going on, if he couldn't get past his father, not only would all their efforts be in vain, but Ji Chu would already be a member of the Song family by then, and the Song family would be implicated.

If it was just him, Song Jinyu, perhaps he would have sacrificed his life, but the entire Song family, whether it was Ji Chu or Song Jinyu, could not bear to do so.

"Be nice to her in the future. She agreed to get married. Maybe she has let it go."

Hearing this, Song Jinyu sneered, his eyes somewhat sad, "How can I give it up? That was the home where she grew up, and those who died were her family members. If they died in vain, how can I give it up? I can't give it up."

"Then why are you bullying her?"

"Ever since you went to the ghost market, she has been absent-minded. She only comes alive when we quarrel. She is the daughter of a general and has excellent skills. I don't want her to lose herself after becoming a wife of the Song family."

The two looked at each other for a long time. Song Jinyu felt uncomfortable being looked at by him. "Put away that look in your eyes. It feels like you are taking advantage of me."

"It is only now that I realize the feeling of having a son who has grown up. It is really true."

"If you, Rong, really want to take advantage of me, why don't we go to the old man and talk it out?"

Thinking of Lord Song's angry look, Rong Yan felt that there was no need to bother him anymore, and hurriedly said a few soft words to coax Song Jinyu.

On the way back to the palace, the moon was at its zenith, and its light was cold and clear.

"Why aren't you talking? Are you unhappy?"

The person next to him remained silent, so Rong Yan immediately started to ask.

"No."

"Is it about your sister? Or is it about Ji Chu and Jin Yu?"

"All."

Tang Mumu no longer hid her feelings. When she went to see her sister today, she was both expectant and happy. After so many years, she could finally see her family. She thought she would not be alone in the future. But who knew that her own sister would be such an annoying person.

When she went to the Song Mansion, she was also happy. She was happy to see Ji Chu, and she was even happier to think that Ji Chu and Song Jinyu were going to get married. She thought that Ji Chu would finally no longer be alone and would have a good support. But who knew that things were different from what she thought at first.

"Rong Yan, it seems that after returning from the ghost market, I always fail to do what I want to do."

Rong Yan reached out and held her little hand, and Tang Mumu tilted her head to look at him.

"If you can't do it well, keep doing it. There will always be a day when you can do it well."

Rong Yan lowered his head, and Tang Mumu looked up at him, and suddenly felt that he had made a real profit.

"Rong Yan."

"Ah."

“I think I really made a profit.”

"What did you earn?"

"I'm lucky to have such a good husband like you."

Rong Yan curled the corners of his lips and swept his eyes across Tang Mumu's delicate little face, from forehead to eyes, to nose, to lips. Tang Mumu didn't notice that his throat slipped a little, and she still looked up at him with a smile.
