Shen Yiran read the visiting card and said, "He said he wanted to return the gift from last time, so the young prince came in person. He must be really anxious!"

Bai Zhi laughed and said, "That's right, the young prince must have known that the marquis is not in the mansion, so he naturally came to ask Madam for help!"

Shen Yiran nodded and immediately told the butler to welcome him to the hall.

It was not convenient for Shen Yiran to sit behind the screen to receive the guests, so he had to call Bo Jinxiu, who was sleeping in the mansion, to come out and greet them.

When Bo Jinxiu heard that Prince Xing was coming to pay a visit to his palace, he immediately got ready and went out to greet him.

Seeing that Bo Jinxiu was present, Prince Xing didn't know how to speak, so he could only chat a little and have a simple meal.

I didn't even have a chance to speak when it was time to leave, I was very anxious.

After Shen Yiran confirmed his attitude, he caught up with King Xing's carriage and asked what happened.

"I see that Your Highness has been frowning, as if he has something to hide. If you have anything to say, please speak up."

The young prince heard this and immediately coughed. He had to speak up even though it was not easy to do so: "I know my wife and the Marquis' wife have a good relationship. I wonder if you can help me persuade her. I always live in my parents' house and people will laugh at me!"

Shen Yiran chuckled: "What is your Highness worried about? Didn't my sister do the same thing in the past?"

The young prince was shocked and said, "I heard that the Cao family believed some gossip and planned to negotiate a divorce with me. How is this possible?"

Shen Yiran looked at his expression and sneered, "The prince and my sister don't get along well. Is he trying to keep my sister by his side just for the sake of face?"

The young prince raised his head and glared at Shen Yiran gloomily: "Madam Hou, what you said is too much!"

Shen Yiran did not give in: "Your Highness knows the relationship between me and Sister Cao. If I speak up for my sister, Your Highness will understand, right? I advise Your Highness that if you keep someone just for the sake of face, neither of us will be happy."

The young prince said angrily: "Forget it, I thought I could ask you to persuade him, never mind, thank you Madam for coming to ask, I'm leaving first!"

Shen Yiran smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am not the evil person who persuades people to separate instead of reconcile. Even my sister doesn't know Your Majesty's intentions, so how can I persuade them successfully?"

When the young prince heard this, he sat in silence with a sullen face, as if he was sulking.

"My Lord, I heard that you took the initiative to ask for this marriage. I wonder why you chose Sister Cao in the first place?"

When the young prince heard this, he immediately raised his head and asked, "She doesn't even know this?"

Shen Yiran shook his head slightly, thinking to himself that it was indeed true, the young prince had indeed confirmed Cao Yuqin before proposing marriage.

"Why don't you tell me first, little prince?"

The young prince sighed and said, "I have seen her once. A group of girls were playing by the Qujiang Pond, and I went with a group of people to spy on them. The other girls were sitting on the grass, but she took off her shoes and socks and was catching fish in the water. I thought she was very cute..."

"Ahem! Anyway, I misjudged her!"

The young prince's cheeks flushed and his brows furrowed in anger, obviously trying to hide his true feelings.

Shen Yiran felt relieved and understood the reason.

"If Sister Cao knew that you proposed to her for this reason, she might not have agreed at the beginning!"

The young prince's face immediately turned pale, and he stared at Shen Yiran: "Are you saying that she doesn't like me at all?"

Shen Yiran quickly explained with a smile: "Your Highness is wrong. I think Sister Cao is a straightforward person. She does whatever she wants. In fact, she is very worried about her own personality and feels that she is not as good as other ladies from wealthy families."

"So if you see her like this, she will definitely be angry and will not dare to marry you."

The young prince snorted, "Madam, that's still a good thing to say. She has never been nice to me since she married into the palace. She has ten words to say in response to every word I say!"

Shen Yiran sighed, "Since the prince is anxious to win Sister Cao's heart, why bother using someone like Liu Wuniang to stimulate her? You will only push her further away by doing this."

The young prince felt a little regretful after hearing this, and looked at Shen Yiran anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

"Put aside your pride and take action."

"If Your Majesty really wants to redeem the relationship, there must be a way, and he will definitely be able to do it. After all, sincerity is more important than anything else."

After Shen Yiran finished speaking, he told the coachman to go home.

The young prince went back thoughtfully.

The next day, when Shen Yiran went out to inspect the shops, he heard rumors on the street that Prince Xing went to greet his wife personally but was turned away.

Shen Yiran could only shake his head after hearing this, hoping that the young prince would not give up.

Who would have thought that after three days in a row, even the people in Cao's house felt that it would be a bad idea not to go back, and they began to persuade Cao Yuqin.

Although Cao Yuqin was not soft-hearted, she had to go back for the sake of the two families' face.

The young prince welcomed her back to the palace and said, "I sent all those beauties away, not one of them stayed."

Cao Yuqin snorted coldly when she heard this: "I guess the prince is tired of it and wants to find someone new."

The young prince blurted out angrily: "I don't want any newcomers, I only want you!"

Cao Yuqin blushed when she heard this, and said, "There are so many people here, why are you talking so loudly?"

The young prince couldn't help laughing when he saw her go into the house angrily.

Five days later, Shen Yiran learned from Cao Yuqin that they had reconciled.

Mrs. Cao came specially to thank Shen Yiran for this, and the old lady also came out to receive her in person.

"Oh, my sister-in-law has quietly acted as a peacemaker."

Rong Qingqing said this jokingly with a cold look, and then looked at Xu.

Mrs. Xu looked a little haggard. Hong'er's illness had not gotten better in the past few days, so she had no mood to care about these things.

Tuan Tuan, who was sitting with him, smiled and said, "As the saying goes, lovers will eventually marry. I think the prince and his wife are destined to be a couple. Even if no one persuades them, they will be fine!"

Shen Yiran just smiled when he heard it. He didn't expect that Tuantuan, who came out to meet guests, would behave like Rong Qingqing.

Madam Cao smiled and looked at Tuantuan: "It's a long way to go, so I have to thank Madam Hou a lot. Qin'er told me that she wished she could be Madam Hou's sister. I thought that if Madam Hou was willing..."

As Madam Cao spoke, she looked at the old lady and continued with a smile: "In this case, I think it would be a good thing to become sworn sisters."

The old lady immediately laughed and nodded: "This is of course a good thing, let's get excited!"

Shen Yiran smiled and stood up after hearing this and said, "How can I really say this? Sister Qin has already asked me to become sworn sisters in private."

The old lady heard this and immediately said, "What you said is true. We just want to take this opportunity to have some fun. Don't worry about it. Even if we are sworn brothers, let us have a meal first!"

Shen Yiran understood what the old lady meant, so he smiled and said, "In that case, how about I prepare some wine and invite Sister Qin and Madam to come to the mansion for a while?"

Madam Cao smiled and said, "Let's go to the Prince's Mansion. How can we let the Marquis' Mansion worry about it?"
