Chapter 425 Procrastination
As soon as he left, Qing Moss cried: "Miss, what should I do, what should I do? I heard that Mr. Liu has six fingers, has a bad temper, and is very cruel... Miss can't marry him!"

Aunt Liu also nodded repeatedly, "Miss, why don't you go see the old prince, and then——"

"let me see."

Chen Shulan took a deep breath.

Looking at Chen Wenzhuo like that, he will not give up until he achieves his goal.

The Liu family is definitely another fire pit. The situation of marrying into the Liu family will only be more miserable than staying in the Chen family's big house.

What to do, what to do...

During this time, Chen Shulan didn't think about asking to see the old Zhongshan King.

To seek refuge, but also because I really miss you.

Grandpa is the best person to her in the entire Chen family. After more than a year apart, how could she not miss him?

But she asked to see him several times, but was turned away every time.

When Yun Qi came to Northern Hebei this time, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the easiest way to deal with it was to appease him through marriage and rewards.

Chen Shulan guessed that maybe Chen Shuya, the second wife, was eyeing the position of Yun Qi's concubine and saw herself as a stumbling block, so she tried to stop her.

The news of her request for an audience probably didn’t reach Grandpa’s ears.

Grandpa is busy again...

Aunt Liu whispered: "It's better to find and thank the Fifth Young Master. He should be willing to help the young lady."

"No."

Chen Shulan shook his head and said: "We are not familiar with each other in the first place, and they are not in a position to help us. I have thought of a way."

"any solution?"

"Three days later..." Chen Shulan looked at the dead trees with fallen leaves in the courtyard: "In three days, won't my second uncle hold a banquet to entertain His Highness King Dingxi? Grandpa will definitely be there by then."

"I will definitely be able to see him when I go to the banquet."

Aunt Liu hesitated and said: "But the eldest young master just said that he has an appointment with Mr. Liu tomorrow and wants the young lady to meet him. This -"

"Promise first." Chen Shulan said calmly: "But tell him that I haven't bought new clothes for a long time, and I don't have clothes for visiting foreigners. I need to prepare before going to see them."

Aunt Liu nodded: "This is a way, delay it for a while, and things will be easier to handle when you see the old prince."

Qing Moss said: "Is that slave going to tell the eldest son now?"

"No -" Chen Shulan stopped her, "Go and tell her now. He won't believe it. He will definitely guess that I am just delaying the attack."

"Then when will we tell you?"

"Go tomorrow morning..."

In fact, Chen Shulan was not sure whether Chen Wenzhuo would believe it, but now that there was no one around her except her grandma and Qing Moss, she could only make a desperate move.

Qing Moss left to help Chen Shulan prepare tea.

Aunt Liu hesitated and said: "I feel that Fifth Young Master Xie is not that kind of person... When he was in Bozhou, he took the young lady away without hesitation even though he knew it was so dangerous to leave with her."

"Just because he was afraid that the young lady would be harmed if she stayed, he still——"

"Mammy." Chen Shulan called out in a low voice, interrupting Grandma Liu, "That was then, and now is now."

"Chen Wenzhuo is right about two things. He...is not interested in women like me at all. The women he likes look like me in this life."

"I have been involved with him for more than half a year just because I was sick."

Even if I really like her a little bit, I'm afraid I also like the silly Chen Shulan who lost her memory, couldn't speak, had a willful temper and would fall and hit her, and all her emotions were displayed on her face.

not myself.

Chen Shulan tugged at the corner of her lips bitterly, "Stop talking about him, I don't want to hear about him in the future." Grandma Liu responded "Yes", but sighed heavily in her heart.

Why is the lady's life so miserable?

Chen Shulan stayed up all night and asked Qing Moss to go tell Chen Wenzhuo about the clothes early the next morning.

When Qing Moss came back, he said, "The eldest son told me to find a tailor to help the young lady get dressed. The tailor will come in the afternoon!"

Aunt Liu said happily: "That can delay it for a while."

Chen Shulan nodded, but did not relax in her heart. After all, this delaying trick was not a clever method. Chen Wenzhuo was not stupid, so why did he follow her wishes?
But now Chen Shulan is isolated and helpless, and even the news is blocked. She can only take one step at a time.

It will be three days later in the blink of an eye.

The Chen family held a banquet to entertain Yun Qi.

This was the first formal banquet held by the Chen family since Yun Qi entered Northern Hebei. Officials from Northern Hebei and many prominent people were invited to attend.

Chen Shulan was ready early, and when she was about to go to the banquet, she was blocked by two women who suddenly appeared.

The mother-in-law said with a cold face: "Miss, there is no need to go to the front. The second lady said that the eldest lady is unwell and has not recovered yet. She should continue to take good care of herself in the hospital today."

Chen Shulan tightened the handkerchief in her hand: "I'm already fine!"

"The second lady said that the young lady is not well, then the young lady is not well." The mother-in-law sneered: "Young lady, you should go back by yourself, otherwise, it will not look good if the old woman takes you back."

Aunt Liu cursed loudly: "You bitch, is this how you talk to the eldest lady? The eldest lady treated you very well in the past!"

The two women didn't pay attention at all and nodded their chins in the distance.

There were many maids guarding the place, and it was obvious that Chen Shulan would not be allowed to go to the front.

Chen Shulan took a deep breath and turned back.

As soon as she entered the room, Grandma Liu said anxiously: "What should I do..."

Chen Shulan gritted his teeth and said, "Qingmai, go find Chen Wenzhuo and tell him that I have something to tell him. It's very important and I must tell him!"

Chen Wenzhuo must be busy at the front today and has no time to come here in person.

Then we can only ask her to come over and talk.

Chen Wenzhuo's personal soldiers were equipped with weapons, so naturally the wives of the second wife did not dare to stop them.

Qing Moss ran outside the yard and watched the women sneak out without noticing. When he came back a short while later, he was followed by two guards with swords and took Chen Shulan out.

The mother-in-law who was standing guard not far away glared at her with hatred. She had no choice but to report the news to the second lady.

After hearing this, the second lady smiled lightly and said, "Just go out as soon as you go out. It doesn't matter. She is the eldest lady of the Chen family after all. You can't take her back and tie her up, right? You don't have to worry about it."

Chen Shuya on the side snorted, "She is really restless."

"Fate is so hard, I killed my own parents, and together with the hundreds of people in the Chen family villa in the capital, I always want to please my grandpa when I get home..."

"If I hadn't secretly stopped her this time and told grandpa that she had not recovered from her illness and needed to take good care of herself, grandpa would have called her over to talk."

"Grandpa really likes her...Mom, why do you think grandpa likes her so much?"

"She has a grimace on her face... and I heard that she had a bad relationship with the guard in her yard before. She fell ill in the capital because the guard died in front of her."

"Later she went to live with the Xie family, and she didn't know who the young master of the Xie family was -"

At this point, Chen Shuya felt someone's eyes falling on her. She subconsciously looked back and met Xie Changyuan's smiling peach blossom eyes.

He was immediately stunned.

Xie Changyuan was dressed in indigo brocade clothes, holding a jade fracture fan and swinging it gently. His narrow eyes seemed to be full of love, and he nodded slightly to her as a greeting.

Chen Shuya suddenly felt his heart beat faster and his face felt a little hot.
