Ye Xiong couldn't do anything about Lu JinNian's nonsense, but he said, ”Today, I went to the palace to see the emperor. My plan changed a bit, but I have to proceed as usual.”

He then told Lu Qingwan about the Fourth Prince not only going to marry Lu Qingwan, but also marrying the Hunchback and the Princess to the Fourth Prince.

”General Lu was called to discuss matters by the emperor. It's about time for the gala to bring back the news.” He paused for a moment, then said, ”The date of the fourth prince's wedding to his own princess is set to be the same day as Lu Qingwan's. The plan will begin the next day, so you must make preparations.”

”Master, I've been preparing.” Lu JinNian looked at Sui Xiong and suddenly thought of something. He tilted his head and asked, ”Master, could it be that you think that I am unhappy because the date of the start of the plan is approaching?”

With a sob, Sui Xiong stood up coldly. He didn't pay any more attention to Lu JinNian. He turned around and walked out of the house and went back to his room.

Today, he went out to search for Lu JinNian, but he couldn't find her after a long time. He also heard that Lu Qingwan was going to get married soon, so he ran out.

He had been observing her for a while now, so he went to the palace to report what the emperor had seen and heard recently. Lu Jinniang was, after all, the key to the transaction cooperation, and since the cooperation still needed to continue, it would be good if he could help delay things for a while longer if she wasn't happy.

His original plan was to inadvertently spread the news during the fourth prince's wedding. However, the emperor had thought that if Lu JinNian wasn't ready yet, he would be a day late. It didn't matter if he was given a bit of time to prepare.

It was really hard to guess what the little girl was thinking …

Uncle Yi Xiong touched his white hair and sighed. 'Am I really getting old?'

”...”

The next day, when the rain had stopped and the drizzling rain was still falling, Lu Jinsheng stretched his back, holding up an oil-paper umbrella, and waited respectfully in front of Ye Xiong's room.

Sui Xiong walked out speechlessly, ”What are you doing?”

”Master, didn't I make you worry yesterday? I am here today to invite master to accompany me, and also to introduce your itinerary. ”

”Ya Xiong.” Who's worrying about you. ”

”Yes, Master is not worried. Disciple knows that Master has a tough tongue but a soft heart, and likes to lie.”

”…”

Lu JinNian's first stop was Shen Shi's Hibiscus Courtyard. Even though he came to Shen Shi's yard for the second time, he couldn't help but praise Shen Shi's taste.

In the rain, the veranda and lakeshore added a touch of softness and depth to it. However, when she saw Lu Qingwan's Lady Shen standing in the middle of the veranda, urging her to cry, the deep feeling in her surroundings instantly disappeared.

Madam Shen was over thirty years old, and in order to show her youth, she had dressed in the same clothes as Lu Qingwan. At most, her face was a little darker, without the noble air that a woman should have.
