Xiao Bi was also very sad.

But are there many such things in the world?

Take Meng Han as an example, a woman with such good looks and talents should never have ended up like this.

The same goes for Old Duke Huan. If it weren't for the continuation of the Huan family's bloodline, he would not only stay until he was thirty, but would never marry again for the rest of his life.

His heart had long since fallen asleep with his beloved girl, and all that was left to Xu was his body.

Although Mrs. Xu is selfish and greedy, she is also a human being after all, so how can she be willing to live with a body?

What's more, it also involves the inheritance of the title, so it's not surprising that she and her eldest son's family would engage in such little tricks.

Therefore, the right and wrong between Duke Huan and the Xu family may never be settled in this lifetime.

Xiao Heng knew Concubine Hua very well and knew that it was not appropriate to continue talking about Duke Huan and the Xu family at this time.

She continued the previous topic: "I remember that Yao Shangshu's father was also an official in the court back then, and there were many talented people among his nephews."

Concubine Hua calmed down and then said: "Yao's father worked in the Ministry of Etiquette at the beginning, and he received much support from Mr. Yao.

Later, for unknown reasons, the uncle and nephew suddenly turned against each other and even cut off all contact with each other.

Not long after, Yao's father was transferred out of the capital and went to work in Tianshui County.

At that time, Mrs. Yao had already reached the age where she should find her husband's family. She thought that she would have no hope of marrying into a high-ranking family in this life, but unexpectedly, she was attracted by Mrs. Xu."

Xiao Heng sneered and said: "The Xu family does not have many connections in the capital. I think it is not the Yao family that she is interested in, but Mr. Yao, who is in a high position in the capital.

This is called stealing the chicken but losing the rice. The Yao family still hopes to rely on the Huan family to make a comeback!"

Concubine Hua said: "Now that the matter has come to this, we can only try to be more thoughtful so that Xiaojiu and Xiaohan will not suffer a loss."

Xiao Heng agreed: "We have to make arrangements more carefully. If you have any ideas, tell me. Even if we can't do it, Your Majesty is still there."

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Huan Yan took a short rest and wrote a greeting note in his own handwriting and gave it to his two sons.

This time the couple went to Beijing to propose marriage and employment, and the old county man specifically told them not to favor one person over another.

Although the contents of the two betrothal gifts are different, their value is basically the same.

Just because Huan Yu was the eldest son, the couple arranged to visit Duke Dingguo's Mansion on the second day, and then visit Wenyuan Marquis' Mansion on the third day.

The two brothers put away the greeting card, changed their clothes and went out together.

When Huan Yu arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Bi felt a headache.

Ying Shui saw her frown and couldn't help but joked: "The princess has changed too much recently, hasn't she?"

Qingzhao held up a crystal clear bead in front of Xiao Bi: "Princess, do you think this is beautiful? I have seen a lot of good things with the princess over the years, and beads like this are really rare.

Ruoshui City is indeed very wealthy, but City Lord Chunyu is also too generous, giving away a large box of beads like this.

The servant carefully counted them several times and found that there were a hundred!"

Xiao Bi glanced at her open palms and finally relaxed her brows.

She chuckled and said, "The beads are indeed beautiful, but my princess looks at your hands even more beautifully."

"Princess——" Qingzhao felt a little embarrassed.

Her hands are indeed not ugly, but how can they be compared with these beads?

Xiao Bi suppressed her smile and picked up Chunyu City Lord's letter again and read it carefully.

In addition to a hundred beads, Lord Chunyu also gave her a large number of priceless congratulations.

They were old friends, and Ruoshui City was not short of money, so it was not unusual for the city lord to send some gifts to congratulate her on her marriage and engagement.

But the things he mentioned in his letter were a bit tricky.

Also poisoned by the Tears of the Heavenly Eyes, the city lord's wife has passed away long ago, and Miss Chunyu has also been tortured for more than ten years, while the eldest sister has returned to normal in just over half a month.

If she were City Lord Chunyu, she would definitely be very interested in the antidote.

If she had another antidote, she would personally send it to Ruoshui City as soon as possible without City Lord Chunyu asking.

But where can she find the second antidote?

Until now, she still hasn't figured out what happened to the antidote that Brother Huan found, and whether there was any primer in it that could torture people to death.

Just as I was getting a headache from thinking about it, a little maid ran into the study.

"Princess Princess, my uncle is here to send you a greeting card!"

Xiao Bi sat up straight: "Where is he?"

The little maid said: "My uncle is in Fuze Hall, and the Duke and the Fifth Master are talking to him."

"Princess, I will help you re-tie your hair." Ying Shui took a jade comb.

"My slave, let me change your clothes." Qingzhao also said.

Xiao Bi stood up and said, "My hair is not messy and my clothes are neat. Why are I so nervous?"

You all stay here while I go to Fuze Hall to have a look."

The maids did not dare to object and watched her walk out of the study.

In the time it took to drink tea, Xiao Bi rushed to Fuze Hall.

Xiao Can had already left because of something, and only Xiao Xuan stayed with Huan Yu to talk.

Seeing Xiao Bi coming, Xiao Xuan joked: "If the engaged girl doesn't stay at home and embroider her wedding dress, why would Baba run out?"

Xiao Bi stuck out her tongue at him: "If you mind your own business, you'll eat shit. Just go ahead and do what you're supposed to do!"

Xiao Xuan smiled and scolded: "You are good at cursing, but such vulgar words actually rhyme!"

Xiao Bi was too lazy to pay attention to him and sat down next to Huan Yu.

"Brother Huan, didn't you accompany the Duke and his wife to the palace today? Why did you come back so soon?"

Huan Yu smiled and said: "Your Majesty has so many things to deal with every day, how can we keep bothering him?"

"Then what did you say?"

Huan Yu then briefly explained what was discussed in the palace today.

"Qin Tian Jian?" Xiao Bi's little face wrinkled into a ball.

The thing she distrusted the most in her life was the magicians of the Qintian Prison.

No matter what she does, she has to depend on the day, which is completely contrary to her style of doing whatever she wants.

Whether it is marching, fighting or daily life, everything depends on timing.

When the time comes but the auspicious moment has not yet come, can you still watch the fruits of victory being picked away by others?

Whether she and Brother Huan can live together until old age has nothing to do with the day they get married, right?

Xiao Xuan flicked the back of her head: "This child is really lawless. You don't care about the elders but they still care. What's wrong with choosing a good day to get married and make everyone happy?"

Xiao Bi rolled her eyes at him, and then said to Huan Yu: "When do the Duke and Madam plan to come to our house?"

Huan Yu said: "Xiaojiu must be well prepared tomorrow morning."

Xiao Bi curled her lips: "What can I prepare for? I'm not ugly... I just received a congratulatory gift from Lord Chunyu, as well as his handwritten letter."

Huan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
