After Qin Tianhua personally sent Chen Yuntang back to the royal palace, he left the mansion and headed towards the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion.

He didn't come to the Marquis' Mansion to convey any news to the Regent, but he just told Chen Yuntang that he was safe for the old Marquis and his wife.

When he came out of the Marquis' Mansion, he immediately felt several pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.

He paused and sneered in his heart. As expected, as His Highness thought, several waves of people were staring at the Marquis’ Mansion!

Qin Tianhua did not stop at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion for a long time. After getting on the horse, he took his subordinates and left quickly.

After the third lady Chen Xinyu followed her grandmother back to the mansion, she saw that her brother Chen Yuntang hadn't come back the next day. She was already pretending to be secrets in her heart, and she was so anxious that she got a fever.

On the third day, the Yongxing Marquis Mansion welcomed an unexpected guest - Mrs. Mu.

Madam Ge led the person to Fushou Hall, and the old lady met the lady in Fushou Hall.

Although the head of the Mu family had a friendship with the old marquis, it was all private. There was no contact between the female relatives of the two mansions. The old lady and Mrs. Mu had only met several times at various banquets. It was the first time that they sat down to talk to each other.

The old lady suddenly took it hard to imagine what Mrs. Mu suddenly ran to the Hou Mansion for.

An hour later, Mrs. Mu took someone to say goodbye.

The two ladies were so kind to each other together, so the old ladies sent someone to send Mrs. Mu out of the mansion.

Madam Ge frowned when she was holding Xiali, "Master, I really never thought that this Mrs. Mu came for our fourth lady."

The old lady narrowed her eyes, "Yes, who would have thought of it!"

"If you get married normally, Mu Xiuji has a good reputation outside and is a good match for the fourth lady. It can be considered a good marriage, but at this time I come to propose marriage... Besides, the second lady has not betrothed to others!" Madam Ge said more and more worries.

The old lady also thought in her heart that to be honest, Yongxing Hou Mansion has not been considered a prosperous family in Yanjing City for decades. Even if she has a title of Danshu Iron Voucher, she can only be considered a second-rate in Beijing.

The Marquis' life was simple and poor, and Chen Yuntang had a secret, so these old ladies rarely took their granddaughters out for socializing everywhere, resulting in fewer people asking the daughters of the Marquis's house. The family she found for the eldest lady Chen Xinwen was just ordinary families.

But after just attending a girl show banquet, the third lady was left with a plate, and the fourth lady came to ask for marriage. Isn’t this a bit strange? It seems that a huge hand is merging in the Marquis’ Mansion in secret.

When did the girls in their Marquis’ Mansion become so popular?

Is the idea of ​​marrying the fourth lady from Mrs. Mu who just left, or from the young master of the Mu family? Or was it instructed by Lord Mu?

No matter what, this Mu Mansion is not a good choice for the Marquis Mansion.

"Drag it first, if this Mrs. Mu pursues it relentlessly," said the old lady.

Madam Ge nodded. At this time, Chen Yuntang was still in the hands of the regent, and I don’t know what the third lady was thrown into. I don’t know what the result would be. At this time, the old Marquis and the old lady had the intention to arrange the marriage for the fourth lady. In order, it was not the fourth lady’s turn!

Mrs. Mu got into the carriage, put down the curtain, and the nanny who followed her next to her spoke, "Madam, this marriage is probably not easy to get married. Although the old lady of the Marquis's mansion is polite, she doesn't have a single word."

Mrs. Mu frowned and snorted coldly, "I can't see the attitude of that old pious woman. I think my son is so outstanding, but he is still hesitant. When she regrets begging me."

"Then... I don't have any accurate words, how can the young master explain?" The nanny said that the wife had agreed to him to marry the fourth lady of the Marquis' Mansion before.

Mrs. Mu was not satisfied with the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, and now the old lady of the Marquis Mansion had no intention, so she was even more dissatisfied with the Marquis Mansion.

She curled her lips, "I didn't promise my son that if he really had to marry this fourth lady, then he would ask him to think of a way. If he couldn't think of a way, there were more girls here than the fourth lady, and I could be so dazzled!"

"Yes, the lady is right." The nanny hurriedly comforted her.

Soon, the news that Mrs. Mu went to the Marquis's Mansion to marry the daughter of Mu Xiuji was sent to Mu Xiuji.

The guard Erhu bowed his head and stood beside Mu Xiuji. The news was sent by him.

In addition to Chang Sui, Mu Xiuji is the closest guard named Erhu, so if you have any problems, often Sui is not here, and Erhu will come to send messages.

He glanced at his young master. It was the first time that the young master had expressed his lifelong affairs in front of his wife. It was obvious that the young master was really moved, but he didn't expect the wife to give such an answer. Erhu felt that the wife must have not done anything, otherwise this would not be the result. The wife was probably not very satisfied with the girl in the Marquis's house.

"Young Master..." Erhu wanted to say a few words to comfort the young master, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

Mu Xiuji heard him call him and looked up in the direction of Erhu.

"Erhu, don't worry about me, I had expected this result long ago."

Ah? Then you are talking to your wife in your heart...

Mu Xiuji saw the doubt in Erhu's eyes and smiled, "I just talk to my mother first and let her be mentally prepared." He would not marry the girl from the Marquis's Mansion in the future, making his mother unhappy.

"Young Master just needs your own plans." Erhu was a straightforward person. Seeing that the young master was not unhappy about it, he became happy again.

"You go and have someone prepare clothes for me, and I'll go to the palace."

"Yes, young master." Erhu went out soon.

As soon as he left, Mu Xiuji's expression became gloomy.

In fact, this incident was beyond his expectations.

He had no hope of the marriage with the Marquis' Mansion that the Marquis' Old Lady would agree immediately, but after Erhu's report, the Marquis' Mansion would probably have no idea of ​​marrying the Mu Mansion at all.

How can this work?

It was just after noon when Mu Xiuji arrived in the palace.

This is the quietest time in the palace.

Several of the cabinet masters just used their meals to take a nap. Their daily office space is in the Wenhua Hall next to the Meridian Gate of the Palace, where the most ministers in the court come in and out.

Mu Xiuji was originally a censor, and his father was still an official in the court, so it was very convenient for him to enter and exit Wenhua Palace.

There is a road behind Wenhua Palace that specializes in the harem. It was previously convenient for cabinet ministers to discuss political affairs with the emperor, but now all political affairs are controlled by the Regent. The Regent does not work in the imperial study room in the palace for half of the month, so fewer people use this road.

There are only the little emperor and some old concubines living in the harem now, so the road connected to the Wenhua Palace and the harem is not strictly managed.

Mu Xiuji came in with only the official's waist sign.

Mu Xiuji stood under a huge tung tree in the palace and explained a few words to the sweeping eunuch. Then he stood and waited under the tung tree.

After a stick of incense, two low-level palace maids came over and led Mu Xiuji from the cold palace at the edge of the palace. Two quarters of an hour later, Mu Xiuji arrived in front of a dilapidated palace.
