If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

After finding out Ding Zhongxuan's whereabouts, Shen Sui'an did not make a special appointment to meet him.

It just so happened that I met him by chance at the Biwu Bookstore, where Ding Zhongxuan would go every day to choose books.

"Aunt...Aunt." Ding Zhongxuan was slightly stunned when he saw Shen Suian, and he bowed hurriedly, his eyes unconsciously looking behind Shen Suian.

Shen Sui'an pretended not to know his little move: "Master Ding, our two families have already severed ties. I absolutely dare not accept your title."

There was a flash of embarrassment in Ding Zhongxuan's eyes. He just blurted it out and didn't react for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Madam Lu."

"I met Mrs. Ding at Huguo Temple last time. I heard that Mr. Ding has found another good match. Congratulations to Mr. Ding. I wonder which daughter he has chosen?"

Ding Zhongxuan lowered his eyes to hide his bitterness, "No, I am not engaged yet."

"Oh." Shen Sui'an responded indifferently.

"By the way, I heard from A Yao that she also lent you a book. She is about to discuss marriage and cannot go out, so she asked me to have someone return it to you. Since we met today, please wait for a moment and I will have someone get it from the car."

Ding Zhongxuan's face turned a little paler.

"Miss Ayao, I asked you to return the book to me?"

Shen Sui'an chuckled, "Yes, Lord Ding, A-Yao is getting married soon, so how can she keep a book about a man from another family?"

Ding Zhongxuan's lips moved, and his throat seemed to be clogged with something, and he spoke with difficulty, "She...she has arranged a marriage. Who has she decided on?"

"Why does Lord Ding care so much about my sister?" Shen Sui'an asked.

"I... I'm just asking." Ding Zhongxuan looked a little absent-minded.

Shen Sui'an looked at the changes in Ding Zhongxuan's expression and was sure that Shen Siyao was not one-sided, but Ding Zhongxuan was probably still entangled in the fact that he had married Shen Siyi, so he didn't dare to take that step.

"Is she willing to marry? Or...or..." Pain flashed in Ding Zhongxuan's eyes.

"Master Ding, let's go over there and talk." Shen Sui'an pointed to a corner where no one was.

Ding Zhongxuan nodded, still looking a little dazed.

There are several tea rooms in the library for guests to read books. Shen Sui'an and Ding Zhongxuan went to the tea room in the corner to talk.

"Sir Ding, you seem to care too much about A Yao's marriage. What exactly happened between you and A Yao?" Shen Sui'an asked in a deep voice.

"No! What happened between us was based on affection but ended in courtesy. There was nothing that crossed the line." Ding Zhongxuan said immediately.

"It's my wishful thinking."

Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "So, you just plan to hide this feeling and watch A Yao marry someone else?"

Ding Zhongxuan lowered his head. What else could he do?

"You and Sister Yi are not a real couple, right?" Shen Sui'an asked.

"..." When mentioning Shen Siyi, Ding Zhongxuan's face darkened and he could not hide his disgust in his eyes.

Shen Sui'an said, "Sir Ding, once you miss some people, it's a lifetime thing."

Ding Zhongxuan's heart skipped a beat. "Mrs. Lu, what do you mean by that?"

"Ayao refuses to discuss marriage. As for why, only she herself knows." Shen Sui'an glanced at him.

Banjian, who went to get the book, also came back.

Shen Sui'an returned the book to Ding Zhongxuan and said, "Goodbye, Master Ding."

Ding Zhongxuan looked down at the travel journal in his hand. It was the one he gave to Shen Siyao, and it also had his notes in it.

When I opened it, I saw a page of bookmarks had fallen out.

When we meet, we want to call each other.

The pulse is sore but unable to speak.

His heart was beating fast, and then he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words.

Couldn't wait to turn around and leave.

……

Knowing that Ding Zhongxuan also has feelings for Shen Siyao and that the love between them is not unrequited, the problem that needs to be solved is that of his second uncle and second aunt.

She felt that her grandfather and grandmother were easier to convince.

Shen Sui'an was thinking about how to bring up this matter with his uncle and aunt.

Suddenly, the moving carriage stopped abruptly.

Ningshuang quickly supported Shen Suian first, and Banjian quickly lay down to hold her, fearing that Shen Suian would rush out and get hurt.

"What happened?" Shen Sui'an escaped unharmed and sat back down, holding Ningshuang's hand.

She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen and felt relieved when she didn't feel any discomfort.

Shi Qing's angry voice came in, "County Lady, it's Marquis Jingning who is blocking the way forward."

Shen Suian raised her eyebrows, He Hongkui?

"Princess Le'an, I have something to ask you." He Hongkui's gloomy voice sounded.

"Marquis Jingning is so arrogant. His way of asking questions is really eye-opening." Shen Sui'an snorted coldly.

He Hongkui took a deep breath and said, "Princess Le'an, this is an emergency, please don't be offended."

Shen Sui'an didn't say anything, indicating that she was just surprised.

If he hadn't taken into consideration that the other party was Lu Yuan's wife and the county lord, he would not have had such an attitude.

"Princess Le'an, where did Yun'er and Huan'er go?" He Hongkui asked.

Shen Sui'an chuckled, "Marquis Jingning, your son is missing. What's the point of you coming to me? I haven't seen Brother Huan."

"The Zhous kidnapped my wife and children. How could you not know where they went?" He Hongkui asked angrily. "I have inquired about it. After they left the city that day, they went to Tianhe City and took a boat from Tianhe City. Princess Le'an, you arranged the boat for them, right?"

"My Lord, Sister Cheng is Zhou Zhou's legally married wife, what does she have to do with you?" Shen Sui'an asked back in a cold voice.

"They are not your slaves, so they can go wherever they want. You are so capable, why don't you take care of everything?"

He Hongkui's eyes were about to burst, "Shen Sui'an, I treat you with courtesy because of Lu Yuan. Don't think that I am really afraid of you."

"Oh? What does Marquis Jingning want to do?" Shen Sui'an asked calmly, "Why don't you report to the authorities?"

Let’s see how Jingzhao Prefecture will handle this case.

Zhou Zhou took away his wife and daughter, but He Xianghuan was sent to Cheng Zhiyun by Marquis Jingning himself. That was his biological mother. He wanted to follow his biological mother, so what could the government do?

Didn't He Hongkui himself want to give his son to Cheng Zhiyun to raise? He didn't say that his son couldn't leave with Cheng Zhiyun.

"Unload the carriage for me." He Hongkui shouted. He just wanted to scare Shen Suian and make her tell him the whereabouts of Cheng Zhiyun.

Shi Qing's expression changed. "Marquis Jingning, don't think that you can bully our young mistress just because the commander is not in the capital."

He Hongkui sneered, "Then I will wait until Lu Yuan comes back and apologize to him."

Anyway, he must ask Shen Suian today where Cheng Zhiyun went.

Damn Zhou Zhou, if he finds them, he will kill Zhou Zhou with his own hands.

Shen Sui'an slowly walked out of the carriage, stood at the shaft and looked at He Hongkui coldly.

"Marquis Jingning, you will have to pay the price for being so arrogant and domineering."

He Hongkui: "Price? Then I will wait for Lu Yuan to come and ask for it."

His eyes became fierce and he stretched out his hand to attack Shen Sui'an.

"Get out of the way!" Shen Suian shouted.

Shi Qing and Fuqiu moved aside tacitly.

A sharp sleeve arrow shot out and hit He Hongkui's forehead.

He Hongkui was shocked and quickly dodged.

The sleeve arrow passed through his scalp and knocked off his hair crown.

A trace of blood slid down He Hongkui's scalp.

A finger-wide wound bisected his hair.

Funny and embarrassing.

"Marquis Jingning, what are you doing? It's not a good idea to intercept other people's carriages in broad daylight." A low and sharp voice was heard.

He Hongkui was furious: "Xie Changyu, are you blind?"
