Jiang was riding a tiger and returned to Zuofu.

She thought about it all night, and the next morning, she went to Xianglan Zhai.

Zuo Xiangning had just finished washing and was preparing to eat. When she saw Jiang coming in, she hurriedly stood up and greeted her.

"Have you had breakfast, mother?" She helped Jiang sit down on the Arhat bed.

"No." Jiang smiled and sat down.

Zuo Xiangning was busy asking someone to buy another pair of dishes and chopsticks.

After finishing breakfast, Zuo Xiangning saw that Jiang was worried and poured a cup of tea for Jiang.

Jiang pulled her to sit next to him, "Daughter, your aunt mentioned your marriage to Ruochen to me yesterday."

Zuo Xiangning sat down next to Jiang and asked uneasily: "What did aunt say?"

"Your aunt said that your cousin is very happy with you. If you don't get married quickly, your aunt is afraid that your cousin won't even be able to read with peace of mind." Jiang said with an embarrassed look on her face, "I calculated that today When your aunt comes over, I want to explain to her that she can tell your cousin first that you are engaged, and then we can tell him the truth after your cousin has finished trying things out."

Zuo Xiangning was worried that lying to Jiang Ruochen like this would make him turn from love to hate.

But she was afraid that if she didn't lie to him like this, he would really have no intention of trying.

Jiang Ruochen does not practice martial arts and is ranked first in Cangzhou Academy, which is the pride of the entire Jiang family. If he really fails this time, it will be a fatal blow to him.

Zuo Xiangning sighed, "Will aunt be angry?"

"Probably not." Ms. Jiang turned around and persuaded Zuo Xiangning, "Actually, your cousin is really nice, and your aunt also likes you very much. When you get to the Jiang family, I guarantee you will have a smooth life."

"But my daughter really treats her cousin as her own brother." Zuo Xiangning's forehead broke out in sweat.

Just because her cousin was good at everything, she felt extremely embarrassed.

"Then let's see and talk." Jiang didn't want to embarrass her daughter.

When Aunt Jiang's family came over, Jiang did not let Aunt Jiang's family pay her respects on the grounds that Mrs. Zuo was ill.

Aunt Jiang's family sent the gifts brought from Cangzhou to Shi'an Hall.

"Sister-in-law, I want to tell you about Ruochen and Xiangning." Jiang said: "I used to think that the two children were very suitable, but now..."

"Xiang Ning's marriage was too troubled," Jiang said in a low voice: "Not only did the fifth prince ask the emperor for marriage, but the eldest princess came to find her new son a few days ago, the eldest son Gu. The princess came to propose marriage for him again. Rong'er discussed with me that Ning'er's marriage should wait beforehand, so as not to cause trouble to Ruochen."

The eldest aunt was slightly shocked.

Jiang sighed, "I made a big fuss with our master because he arranged for Xiang Ning to marry him randomly. When he got sick, he didn't even need me to take care of him. He moved directly into Shi'an Hall."

Aunt Jiang's family already felt a little strange just now. Zuo Yi'an was ill and Jiang didn't take care of him. Why did he live in Shi'an Hall?

Now when I heard what Jiang said, I suddenly realized.

No matter how much Ruochen liked Xiang Ning, Aunt Jiang's mother did not want her daughter-in-law to be remembered by so many people.

"Then I'll give Xiang Ning a hard time for a while, and then I'll talk to him slowly after her cousin tries." Aunt Jiang's family agreed immediately.

Jiang felt a little uncomfortable again, as if her precious daughter had been abandoned.

But then I thought about it, this is also human nature.

Aunt Jiang's family stayed at Jiang's family for a long time. After lunch, she took a nap, and then followed Jiang to Prince Chu's Mansion in the afternoon.

Princess Chu was very enthusiastic about Aunt Jiang's family and took Brother Hong out to show Aunt Jiang's family.

King Chu also rushed back from the palace and talked to Aunt Jiang's family for a long time.

Aunt Jiang's family returned to the Jiang's house feeling very comfortable.

Jiang Ruochen hurriedly walked in from the outside, "Mother is back? Mother, thank you for your hard work." Aunt Jiang looked at her eager son and said with a smile, "Are you asking people to keep staring at me?"

Jiang Ruochen smiled stupidly and poured a cup of tea for his mother.

"I have discussed it with your aunt. After you are done with the trial, we will officially talk about your marriage to Xiang Ning. If you were in high school, wouldn't Xiang Ning's face look brighter?"

Although Jiang Ruochen was disappointed, he also felt that if he won the first prize, it would be better to propose marriage to Xiang Ning.

Most importantly, he has confidence in himself.

Now that the matter between him and Xiang Ning has been approved by his family, he feels relieved.

"All sons obey their mothers." Jiang Ruo smiled and returned to his room, working harder than before.

Zuo Xiangning secretly asked people to pay attention to the affairs of Zhongyuan Hou Mansion.

However, the gate of Zhongyuan Hou Mansion was closed tightly, but there was no movement at all.

Zuo Xiangning frowned secretly. If Ling Xiao didn't fight back now, was he waiting for things to calm down?
Then he has a reputation of lewdness, and someone will mention it anytime and anywhere in the future.

As for Li Wenji, I don’t know if she ever thought of going to the palace to beg Mrs. Wei.

Zuo Xiangning thought for a moment and asked Bingyu to come over.

"Go and find out where Liu Ruyan, the eldest daughter of Imperial Guard Commander Shi, often goes. Then you and the Zhang Rui family tell her something in front of her..."

Bingyu soon brought back the news that Liu Ruyan went to Prince Xian's Mansion, and Li Wenji entered the palace a quarter of an hour later.

Zuo Xiangning felt a little bitter in her heart. At the critical moment, Li Wenji had to help him.

"Stand guard near the palace entrance to see when Li Wenji came out and whether Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou entered the palace." Zuo Xiangning ordered Bingyu.

Bingyu first went to Fu Rui's pawn shop.

Ling Xiao frowned and sent someone to follow Bingyu to the palace gate.

He didn't want Li Wenji to get involved in this matter, but he knew that Zuo Xiangning also had good intentions.

Li Wenji left the palace when it was getting dark, but Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou did not enter the palace.

Zuo Xiangning was secretly worried and didn't know what Mrs. Wei's attitude was.

The next day, Zuo Xiangning went to Prince Chu's Mansion again.

"Li Wenji did enter the palace yesterday, but it's a pity that she didn't see Mrs. Wei." Zuo Xiangrong sighed, "It seems that Mrs. Wei is out of touch."

Zuo Xiangning was slightly shocked, "Why doesn't Mrs. Wei see her? Does she not want to interfere with the prince's affairs?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that Mrs. Wei has some reasons unknown to outsiders and she doesn't want to take care of her; the other is that someone is blocking Li Wenji and doesn't want her to see Mrs. Wei."

"Could it be that the emperor is stopping you?" Zuo Xiangning had a look of panic on her face.

Could it be that Ling Xiao still cannot escape the fate of his previous life?

Zuo Xiangrong shook her head slightly, patted Brother Hong's butt with her hand, and whispered: "Li Wenji is sincere to Prince Zhongyuan. I heard that she knelt at the gate of the palace for more than an hour."

Zuo Xiangning felt a little sympathy for Li Wenji at this moment. If Ling Xiao really had a shortcoming, it would be a big blow to Li Wenji.

Zuo Xiangning came out of Prince Chu's Mansion and took the carriage directly to Furui's Pawnshop.

Ling Xiao was startled when he heard she was coming. He endured the pain and got up from the bed, got dressed and had her taken to the backyard.

He had to tell her something clearly to prevent her from feeling uneasy and doing something that would set her on fire.

The Yang family was a military general. If he knew about Zuo Xiangning's relationship with him, Zuo Xiangning would be in danger.
