It was unknown how long Zheng Peiru had been running for, but it was difficult to search for the reason why. Xie Jingxi had sent a letter to Shen Huanzhi, if he found any traces of Zheng Peiru, he would definitely send her back to the capital.

Not to mention the mess in the Zheng Family, there was suddenly an additional lady in the list of the princes and wives of the Second Prince s. When the was young, it was also reasonable that he was included in the list, and Imperial Noble Consort Shen had always wanted to rope in the Elder Official Xie and Gu family.

The reason was because his impression of the six young ladies of Xie Family was not very good, and he had considered the political standings, and so far, to the point where the of the young lady who made him think of the Xie Family could not be considered everyone, and did not have the worries of her family's expansion at the moment, was considered a good candidate. Even if the young lady looked ordinary, being able to enter the door and act like a little girl was fine, but with a wave of her brush, the six young ladies were changed into Xu Jingshu.

Xie Cen, who had received the letter, was also surprised, as he did not think that the Xu Family would be in the list of participants in the selection, thus he went to find Lady Xu to ask. Lady Xu was even more confused, she was just about to tell what had happened, why did she suddenly get called out by the His Majesty to participate in the selection of the prince's wife?

”Master, what should we do? Jingshu, I still want to stay at home.”

Xie Cen glared at her, ”I don't agree, don't even think about it, what's more, you should be clear about what your brother is thinking. If he were to be chosen, do you think your brother would want her to marry us?”

Lady Xu was speechless. She only wanted to make a fool of herself by giving her parents and not her elder brother, but if Xu Jingshu could really marry her, maybe her Xu Family would rise because of this.

”Since the His Majesty has already mentioned it, there's nothing we can say about it. We have to prepare for her as well. If Jing Shu is chosen, then we can have some light of our own as well.”

Xie Cen snorted, ”Then what if she cannot be chosen, there is no place for her in the capital. What should we do, do you have any idea?”

Although Lady Xu was unwilling, she had no other choice. However, Xu Jingshu forgave her and said privately, ”Jingshu won't make things difficult for Aunt, since His Majesty asked, I can only go. If Jingshu can't choose, then I'll pack up and go back home. I won't make Aunt lose face.”

”Good child, your aunt will not let you go back. If you cannot, then I will find a family for you in the capital, regardless of your family background, it is better than going back home.”

The Lady Xu really did not understand Xu Jingshu's intentions. If it was a normal family, why would she still come to the capital, so she was determined to get this prince's wife. Even if she had to enter, she would enter at the very least.

As long as Xu Jingshu did not marry Jingyu, she could marry anyone she wanted. However, although the Xie Family Sixth Miss was not in the selection, suddenly there were many families who came to ask for's hand in marriage. For example, the Zheng Family that had sent him this message was one of them.

The day before she went to Zheng Family, Fang Yu coincidentally came to the manor. Unexpectedly, she was a very quiet girl, although her height was a little taller than Fang Dai, no one could tell that she was a girl with unique skills.

”Madam, don't look at her gentle and quiet appearance. Her mouth won't let anyone off. If you anger her, then please help me teach her a lesson.” Fang Dai pulled Fang Yu in front of Xie Jingxi, and instructed her, ”Our mistress cannot be any better. I called you here to protect her, and usually, I want you to take care of her work, don't cause trouble for her, okay?”

”I got it, Sis. You've been nagging so many times.” Fang Yu turned to Xie Jingxi and said, ”Fang Yu greets Madam.”

Xie Jingxi looked at her, this girl looked very delicate, although on the surface she did not look as natural as Fang Dai, but her eyes looked very charming. At first glance, her eyes were bright and elegant, but in reality, Gu Panpan was quite shrewd, it was just that this intelligence was used by her to a certain extent, and made her seem like she was not as friendly to others.

On the other hand, you are somewhat similar to Fang Dai. I wonder what you do everyday, does combing your hair look like a coincidence like your sister?

”I'm not afraid of Madam's jokes. I've learnt everything, but I'm not good at anything. Sister often says it to me because of this. I hope Madam doesn't dislike me.”

Xie Jingxi laughed, ”You sure know how to talk, go back and ask Ming Yu to tell you about the people here, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask me, we don't need to pay attention to the rules.”

”I know about Madame.”
