After staying in the palace for half a day, everyone left the palace.
At the gate of the palace, Chu Chengyao said goodbye to Chu Chengping and Chu Chengyi and got into the carriage. Song Yi, who was sitting with the coachman, accidentally saw Chu Chengyi dusting off dust with the back of his hand and couldn't help but tighten his eyes.
Chu Chengyi was talking to Chu Chengping when he felt sharp eyes and looked sideways, only to see the carriage of Prince Jin's palace getting further away.
evening.
The Lin family gathered at Songmao Hall for dinner. Seeing that Lin Yanqing and the old lady were in good spirits, they went back to the hospital.
Lin Jinyan was worried about the old lady and asked Manao to continue to stay in Songmao Hall.
After everyone left, Lin Yanqing leaned on the chair and sighed:
"It's time for Yan'er and Wanrong to see each other, otherwise the Zhou family's scandal will spread in the future, and if there are some rumors, it may delay the marriage of the two children."
The old lady was upset and blamed herself:
"This matter is my fault. You have repeatedly reminded Yuexue of her bad conduct. I also know the things she has done, but thinking about blood and family ties, I always think she can change for the better. I forgive her again and again, but it hurts my granddaughter. ."
Lin Yanqing took the tea and sipped it slowly. After drinking half a cup of tea, he slowly said:
"Okay, you can't change the past. You are soft-hearted, and she is a sweet-tongued person. It is inevitable that you will be deceived by her. I don't blame you. But you have to remember this time. Don't be fooled again in the future. She has softened her heart by crying."
Seeing the old lady nodding dullly, Lin Yanqing couldn't bear to upset her and talked about his intention to betroth Lin Wanrong to An Zhixian.
Agate stepped forward to add more tea, while Hou stood aside silently, thinking about the scene during the day when An Zhixian and Lin Jinyan sat together and played chess. The two looked seductive like a pair.
Old lady: "He has often come to the house over the years, and I have met him many times. He is indeed a good boy. Although he was born as a merchant, he does not have the spirit of a businessman. He looks more like a noble young master raised in a high family. He also has a very good temperament. . Wanrong is too soft-tempered to marry into a high-ranking family, and Wanrong from such a family will not be bullied."
Lin Yanqing: "I think so too. I mentioned it to Zhixian during the Chinese New Year and waited for him to speak. Wanrong is okay, but Yan'er is really difficult to choose. His Majesty will not rest assured because his family background is too good. Those who are not good are not worthy of Yan'er."
Jin Palace.
Chu Chengyao sent Song Yi away and took Zhong Yi out of the house through the secret road to find Zuo Yingxiong for Xiaochen's appointment.
Song Yi took Cao Xian out of the house and wandered aimlessly. He passed by several shops and went in to shop around. He didn't buy anything. He seemed bored to pass the time.
Cao Xian lowered his voice: "The man behind has followed us, do you want to deal with him?"
Song Yi played with the wood carving in his hand: "No need, he will be there when we leave the palace. It seems that that person is not completely at ease with us. Has the news been passed on?"
Cao Xian scanned the people coming and going in the shop and made sure no one could hear what the two of them were saying before he spoke:
"Hand it out."
Song Yi ignored the tail following him, wandered around, had a nice meal, and returned to the palace with two cans of wine.
Chu Chengyao and Xiao Chen talked secretly for nearly an hour. Even Zuo Yingxiong outside the door didn't know what the two talked about. He wanted to use their faces to spy on them, but they both looked indifferent and couldn't tell whether they were talking. Negotiated.
After entering the secret passage, Zhong Yi looked back and smiled when he saw that he was safe:
"Your Highness, if Xiao Chen's words are to be believed, you are one step closer to the dragon throne."
When he returned to the mansion and just left the study, he learned that Song Yigang had just returned to the mansion and wanted to see him. Chu Chengyao asked Zhong Yi to call people to the inner room.
