In Prince Dingnan's palace, Ling Wufeng bowed to the two elders to thank them for their upbringing and teaching.
During the dinner, they also talked about Shen Huaiyan, "Aunt, have you ever gotten to know Mr. Shen?"
Mother Wen thought that he was eager to protect his sister, so she did not doubt that there was something in Ling Wufeng's words, "Your uncle did some research with someone, and it is true that he is a person with an innocent family background as he said."
"In this way...Wufeng will feel at ease." Ling Wufeng saw that he could not shake the two elders' views on Shen Huaiyan, so he said no more to avoid offending others.
But he would not believe this man at all.
Speaking of which, Shen Huaiyan is not a human being at all.
After dinner with the two elders, Ling Wufeng returned to the princess mansion again.
However, before he could see Wen Yuan this time, he was stopped by a secret guard, "Mr. Wufeng, the lady has an important conversation with Mr. Huaiyan, no one is allowed in."
The secret guard respected Ling Wufeng very much and had no intention of deliberately embarrassing him. He just followed his master's instructions.
Ling Wufeng naturally wouldn't make it difficult for him, "Then I'll come back later."
But that night, Ling Wufeng never returned to the princess mansion again.
After returning to his study, he hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it out by carrier pigeon. He didn't know who would get it.
*
Early the next morning, Jiang Mian completely moved into the princess' mansion, with large and small bags of things piled up throughout the courtyard.
"You want to make your home here with me?" Even Wen Yuan was shocked when he saw it. He brought all the pots and pans. What's going on?
Jiang Mian started crying as soon as he saw her, "Sister! You really have to help me this time!"
"What's going on?" Normally Jiang Mian wouldn't cry, nor would he be so impatient.
After talking a lot, Wen Yuan concluded that the two elders of the Jiang family had arranged an engagement for her regardless of Jiang Mian's objections, and the wedding would be held on the sixth day of next month.
This is too fast...
It’s not like you can’t get married, so why should you be so anxious?
Wen Yuan didn't understand, Jiang Mian didn't understand, Jiang Feng and Jiang Zhichen even less understood.
But now those two people are in the military camp thousands of miles away and can't care about this matter. Otherwise, given Jiang Feng's doting on his sister, he would never agree to his parents choosing someone for his sister to marry early.
"Who is that person?"
This is the key question.
But Jiang Mian's words shocked Wen Yuan, "I don't know. I vaguely remember his name is Zhang Nanjin, but I have never met him."
Doesn’t this mean that only after they get married can they officially meet?
Where can such a thing happen?
In the Dragon Kingdom, this kind of thing is everywhere.
Not everyone is like her, born noble and loved, and has the right to choose their own life.
While they were chatting about important things, Jiang Mian took a quick look and seemed to see something moving in the room, "Sister, in your room..."
"?!" Wen Yuan looked guiltily at the room she was pointing to. Fortunately, Shen Huaiyan only passed by in a flash, otherwise... it would be unimaginable.
"Just a cleaning maid." She said nonchalantly, but Jiang Mian quickly dispelled his doubts.
The conversation returned to the man she was about to marry.
She didn't want to marry a man she had never even met. Although after asking around, she found that this man was a good person, Jiang Mian only believed her own eyes.
Wen Yuan suggested that we go to meet Mr. Zhang together, but Jiang Mian felt that something was wrong, "It's not okay... If I go to see a man who has already made an engagement without permission, he will look down upon me."
"Anyway, you don't really plan to marry him. It's better to make it clear now and let him stop thinking about you."
After saying that, Shen Huaiyan walked in from outside the hospital. When Qiu Yue saw him, she was even more excited than Wen Yuan.
He quickly came forward and said hello with a sweet smile, "Master Huaiyan is here~"
Shen Huaiyan didn't want to give her a look and walked straight towards Wen Yuan, "Where are Yuanyuan going? Aren't you taking me with you?"
With such pitiful dog eyes again, Wen Yuan really couldn't stand him being like this, so she took the man's hand and led him to sit down, "What are you doing as a grown man? We are going to solve the girl's problem this time."
"Okay then..." The man let go of the hand holding Wen Yuan's wrist in frustration, and in a blink of an eye his face turned into a face as warm as the spring breeze, "Come back soon."
After saying that, regardless of the looks of the people around him, he lowered his head and kissed Wen Yuan on the forehead.
However, such an action was very inappropriate in Jiang Mian's opinion. The girl kindly reminded Wen Yuan, "Sister...you and Mr. Shen will be criticized by others. Gossip and gossip can kill people. This kind of thing is done in the house." That’s okay, never go to a crowded place…”
"Thank you, Amian. I have my own sense of discretion." Wen Yuan changed the topic, "Let's ask your personal maid to go to Zhang Zhai to deliver a message and let him come out for a while."
There shouldn't be anything wrong with this. Jiang Mian just thinks too much and is too sensitive.
Sometimes if you just let it go, the results will be different.
Half an hour later, Jiang Mian's personal maid brought a message to Jiang Mian from Zhang's residence, "Mr. Zhang asked the young lady to gather at the Fengfeng Building in half an hour."
Half an hour later, Wen Yuan and Jiang Mian arrived at the Fengfeng Building on time. The waiter recognized Wen Yuan and hurriedly called her up to the third floor, "Princess Xianyang, please come up. What do you want to eat today? It's still the same as before. ?"
"Well, go ahead." A small ingot of silver was enough to last the waiter and his family for a long time.
The waiter was holding the money and laughing from ear to ear.
The two waited for a stick of incense before Zhang Nanjin arrived belatedly.
Half an hour after he said that, he was late, which made Wen Yuan have a bad impression of him from the beginning.
The man is tall, but his posture is not good. His hunched back shortens his excellent height a lot.
His face is handsome and handsome, especially when he smiles, but... what's with those squinting eyes?
Zhang Nanjin stared at Wen Yuan as soon as he came up. He thought they knew each other, but Wen Yuan saw this man for the first time and had no idea who he was before.
"Mr. Zhang, you must also know why I'm looking for you today, right?" Wen Yuan got straight to the point and asked the man, who was instantly confused.
After being unable to react for a long time, Wen Yuan could only suppress the anger in her heart and remind him, "It's for your marriage to Amian."
She took a sip of tea and then cleared her throat and said seriously: "This matter is not for me to talk about, let alone for me to take care of it. But Amian and I are sisters, and as a sister, I can't let her go. I don’t care if I’m sad.”
What a compassionate sister who blocked what Zhang Nanjin wanted to say.
This Wen Yuan didn't care about what he wanted to say at all, he just continued: "Amian also made it clear to me at the princess mansion that she doesn't like you and doesn't agree with this marriage at all, so I wonder if Mr. Zhang also The beauty of being able to grow up is to take the initiative to cancel the engagement with the elders in the family.”
After listening carefully to Wen Yuan's words, Zhang Nanjin just looked at her with a sarcastic smile and said nothing. He played with the folding fan in his hand and put down the teacup he had just raised before taking a sip.
"This matter really has nothing to do with Princess Xianyang. The marriage of a man and a woman is not something we, the younger generation, can control. The fate of our parents and the words of the matchmaker are not something we as juniors can control. Not everyone is as lucky as the princess to be able to choose their sweetheart, even the prince. Princess, I am also quite helpless. I hope that Princess will forgive Nan Jin’s rudeness and let this matter go."
After saying that, the man stood up and left without leaving any chance to the two girls.
It seemed that this was not going to work anymore. Jiang Mian covered her face and cried bitterly. It was not that she didn't want to resist, but that she was unable to resist her parents' decision.
No matter whether she is weak or incompetent, she cannot disobey her parents.
But every time she thought of the man far away in the military camp, her heart was as sharp as a knife, and she wished she could leave the capital and the general's mansion, just to fly away with him and stay together forever.
After Zhang Nanjin left Banfeng Building, he did not go back directly. Instead, he turned left and right and sneaked into a brothel.
There was a lovely person in there that he longed for day and night.
"Young master, I haven't been here for a while. I'm afraid I have forgotten Yan'er." As soon as she entered the room, the woman took the initiative to sit on Zhang Nanjin's lap, not forgetting to feed him his favorite fruit.
The soft figure arouses endless desire in men.
Afterwards, the woman lay in Zhang Nanjin's arms and asked sweetly when she could redeem her body and welcome her into Zhang's house.
"It's not the right time yet. When I marry that woman, I will welcome you in and pamper you exclusively."
Zhang Nanjin needs Jiang Mian to consolidate his status in the eyes of his parents. With Jiang Mian as his head wife, his life at home will be smoother in the future. When his parents pass away, he can legitimately inherit the entire Zhang residence.
Yan'er is not the kind of person who is messy. She knows how to be patient and believes that Zhang Nanjin will redeem her life.
The two of them were lying on the bed thinking about it, but they didn't want to know that a man in the military camp thousands of miles away burned a letter and sent someone back to the capital quickly.
Jiang Mian stayed at the Princess Mansion for half a month. During this period, she only received a handwritten letter from her brother, but no greetings from the man she had longed for.
"Sister, it's going to be the day when I get married in a blink of an eye. What do you think...why hasn't he come back yet?" The man Jiang Mian mentioned was Jiang Zhichen, Jiang Feng's military advisor.
She always thought that she and Jiang Zhichen were in love, and he had responded to her feelings, but why... there was no news yet.
Wen Yuan was doing his own thing. When he saw Jiang Mian like this, he put down what he was doing and began to comfort her, "Don't think so much. Didn't your brother say that he won't let you be wronged? You have to believe it." Him."
Even so, Jiang Mian still felt uneasy. From the first time she saw Jiang Zhichen, she had determined that this man would never fall in love with another man again.
But what if my last lover is not him?
Will not……
Jiang Mian clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly, looking forward with empty eyes without any light, as if a person had lost all life.
Soon it will be the day when she will get married to Zhang Nanjin. Will he come?
