A few days after Yan Yao got married, news came out that she was crazy.

Although the Dingguo Mansion tried its best to cover it up, the news still spread.

Wen went to see Yan Yao, and really saw her looking sluggish, salivating at the corners of her mouth, crying and laughing, looking like crazy.

She didn't know what had happened in the past few days, why a good person had suddenly become like this.

Wen felt that it must have been what Minyang and Wen Chengyan did to Yan Yao that stimulated her greatly.

Minyang bit back, accusing Wen of concealing Yan Yao's illness and marrying a fool to her son.

The two of them ate the dog, and no one refused to give in, but Yan Ran watched a good show.

Qingxuan asked: "Girl, do you think the second girl is really crazy or pretending to be crazy?" ”

Yan Ran asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Qingxuan analyzed: "The slave maid thinks that the second girl is pretending to be crazy. You told her that the little grandfather secretly poisoned her, and she married into the Dingguo Mansion alone, how could she not be afraid, of course she would think of self-protection. ”

Yan Ran nodded approvingly to Qingxuan, and said, "I didn't expect that with Yan Yao's brain, he could think of pretending to be crazy and stupid to save his life, and he could pretend to be so similar and deceive everyone." It seems that in the face of life and death, human potential is immeasurable. ”

Yan Ran revealed Wen Chengyan's instructions to Yan Yao about Ping'er's poisoning, but it wasn't for any sisterhood.

She was afraid that Yan Yao would fall in love, and she was defenseless against Wen Chengyan, and she didn't even know how she died.

Yan Yao is not a pity to die, but if she loses her life in vain and can't block Minyang and Wen Chengyan anymore, wouldn't it be too much of a pity.

Wen and Minyang each have their own reasons, and no one can dispute anyone, so this matter has become a headless lawsuit.

The Wen family has the intention to bring Yan Yao back to the Yan Mansion, but the water spilled by the daughter who can marry is that she can say that Master Yan agrees to this matter, and Minyang can't afford to lose this face.

Therefore, the Dingguo Mansion declared to the public that the Duchess of Guo was weak and needed to be raised, and it was not suitable to go out, which was an explanation for Yan Yao who had never shown up after marriage.

In fact, Yan Yao was locked up in a dilapidated courtyard, although she was provided with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, she didn't care about her life or death.

But anyway, Wen Chengyan will no longer be murderous towards such a Yan Yao, and Yan Yao temporarily saved her life.

Winter vacation is connected with Yan Yao's wedding, and Yan Ran has not been to the school for a long time.

The spring snow melts, and the sun shines warmly.

Yan Ran and Zhen Yu finished lunch and went to the backyard of the west wing of the school hall to bask in the sun together.

Zhen Yu sighed: "Sister Yan, you should be about to get married, right?" After getting engaged, you have to wait for marriage with peace of mind, embroider wedding dresses, learn the rules, you can't come to the school anymore, we can't meet if you want to meet, it's still a little sad to think about it. ”

Previously, the Wen family was so busy with Yan Yao's wedding that they couldn't take care of Yan Ran.

Although Wen was seriously ill because of Yan Yao's condition, when she was in good spirits, it was time to find Yan Ran.

Yan Ran also shook her head and sighed lightly, and joked to Zhen Yu: "Didn't your mother start showing you the little sons of each family a long time ago, can there be a match?" ”

Zhen Yu held her cheeks and said sullenly: "Don't mention it, just two days ago, my mother and the queen's aunt conspired to bring me into the palace." The queen's aunt has already summoned several sons, asking me to take turns to look at each other, like the emperor choosing a concubine, how embarrassing! So I ran away, and thanks to meeting the second prince, I was able to get out smoothly. ”

The smile in Yan Ran's eyes faded, and she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Second prince? ”

Zhen Yu didn't feel anything wrong, and continued: "Well, the second prince is very familiar with the terrain in the palace, he took me to avoid the palace people, and brought me delicious crab roe crisp. However, speaking of the second prince, I seem to be able to run into him a lot lately. The last time was at the Imperial Palace, and the last time was at Wufangzhai ......"

Zhen Yu said, and even counted it with his fingers seriously.

Yan Ran sneered.

It seems that Xiao Zun gave up on Cui Jingshi, and instead wanted to get the support of the Qingguo Mansion through Zhen Yu.

Speaking of Xiao Zun's motives, we have to talk about two major events that have happened in the court recently.

One is that the crown prince and the second prince competed, one folded the Dali Temple, and the other folded the imperial history of the Duchayuan.

On the surface, both sides lose, and no one gets good.

However, in fact, the prince had long wanted to change the Dali Temple, so he used an abandoned son to obtain one of the opponent's fierce generals, and won the Duchayuan, when the prince was better.

These are the credits of Wen Rong'an, who secretly took refuge in the crown prince and wanted to do his duty as a good strategist.

However, Xiao Zun lost his troops, so he was extremely anxious about cultivating power.

Another thing is that Prince Rui, who has been hidden for many years, suddenly wrote a letter to impeach several officials of the old faction of Cui Ge for corruption and perverting the law.

If Prince Rui doesn't make a move, he will hammer this case to death as soon as he makes a move.

There are all kinds of human and physical evidence, and Cui Ge was caught off guard, so he could only abandon the car and protect the handsome.

These officials are all Cui Gelao's beloved disciples, and he can't completely get rid of their involvement no matter what, so he resigned.

Of course, Emperor Sheng could not allow it, but because of the excitement of the crowd, he could only suspend him from his post for reflection as appropriate.

The reason why Prince Rui targeted the Cui family was naturally because Cui Jingshi publicized Su Fan's illness in order to refuse the marriage, which was avoided by others, and made Prince Rui's mansion lose face.

Prince Rui's targeting and vigorous attack made Xiao Zun shy away from Cui Mansion.

If he marries Cui Fu at this time, won't he also become the target of Prince Rui?

And the Qingguo Mansion is the queen's foreign home, and the queen has no children under her knees, so she can support the prince and Xiao Zun.

Therefore, Xiao Zun changed his direction and applied the same set that was used to Cui Jingshi to Zhen Zhen's body, wanting to use the same means to capture Fang's heart, and then win over Qingguo Gong.

However, although Xiao Zun's idea is good, Zhen Zhen's mind is simple, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, so he can't see his intentions to please him at all.

Zhen Zhen didn't understand Xiao Zun's dirty thoughts, but Yan Ran had to remind her: "Zhen'er, you have to be careful to beware of the second prince. If you meet him again, don't be alone with him, and bring more people with you, preferably some who are skilled in martial arts. ”

Zhen Yu blinked, and it took a while to understand Yan Ran's intentions, and said incredulously: "Sister Yan, what do you mean that the second prince is interested in me?" ”

It's no wonder that Zhen Zhen is confused, she and Xiao Zun have always been nodding friends, how could she think that Xiao Zun had other plans for her?

Yan Ran held Zhen Zhen's hand and said sincerely: "Zhen'er, you must believe me." ”

Zhen Yu nodded without hesitation and said, "Well, I believe in Sister Yan, I will be careful." ”

Because of Yan Ran's reminder, Zhen Yu paid more attention, and also noticed that he had indeed met Xiao Zun by chance recently, and he was more familiar and enthusiastic than usual, which was really unusual.

Zhen Yu informed Mrs. Zhen of the matter, and Mrs. Zhen told Qing Guogong in turn.

After hearing this, Qingguo Gong said in a deep voice: "It's time to set up a family affair for Lu'er, and it also saves people with bad intentions from targeting our Yu'er." ”

Yan Ran didn't expect Qingguo Gong to be so fast.

Within a few days, the Qingguo Mansion issued a public notice, announcing that it would recruit a son-in-law for Zhen Zhen, as long as he was at least 16 years old, had an innocent family background, and had good looks, he could run for election.

Qing Guogong's practice of recruiting a son-in-law for Zhen Zhen completely cut off Xiao Zun's thoughts.

However, in this way, it also cut off the possibility of marrying other noble families in Anyang City.

"Zhen Zhen, why did your grandfather recruit you a son-in-law?"

Yan Ran and Zhen Yu were enjoying the afternoon sunshine when Mu Changfeng suddenly ran over and asked.

Zhen Zhen habitually took out the pastries he carried with him to entertain Mu Changfeng, but Mu Changfeng did not reach out to pick it up, but waited eagerly for Zhen Zhen's answer.

Seeing that Mu Changfeng didn't eat, Zhen Yu took his hand back, stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth, and said vaguely: "How do I know, it was my grandfather who decided." ”

Yan Ran saw that Mu Changfeng's eyebrows were frowning, and he seemed to care about this matter, and his heart moved, and asked, "Are you going?" ”

Mu Changfeng was not happy when he heard this, and immediately patted his chest and said: "What are you kidding, the little master is the only son of a dignified hussar general, how can he be a son-in-law?" ”

Yan Ran sighed slightly in her heart, thinking that this is also the truth.

Zhen Yu didn't care much either, stretched out his toes and kicked Mu Changfeng's robe, and said lazily: "You blocked me from basking in the sun." ”

Mu Changfeng subconsciously moved a step to the side, and when he saw Zhen Zhen's indifferent expression, he felt inexplicably depressed, but he couldn't tell the reason, so he could only leave stupidly.

Yan Ran looked at Zhen Yu and asked, "Yu'er, why don't you care about recruiting a son-in-law at all?" ”

Zhen Yu said indifferently: "What is there to care about, anyway, it is all chosen by my grandfather." ”

Yan Ran patiently enlightened: "This is your lifelong event, you must always be happy, how can you not care?" ”

Zhen Yu took a bite of the white sugar cake, narrowed her eyes, and said softly: "Sister Yan, just imagine, how many girls in the world can stay in their parents' family after getting married like me." I already feel so happy that I don't dare to ask for more. ”

Yan Ran looked at Zhen Zhen's clear eyebrows, and couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

Zhen Yu is frail and needs to be pampered carefully, and it is difficult to take on the responsibility of the main mother of the Gaomen Mansion, so it may be the best choice for Qingguo to recruit a son-in-law for her......

Yan Ran's mind is complex, thinking about Zhen Zhen's future.

Zhen Zhen really didn't think too much, but pestered Yan Ran and said: "Sister Yan, it's the Yulan Festival in a few days, let's go to watch the dragon boat race together!" ”

Yan Ran couldn't help Zhen Zhen's soft grinding and hard foaming, so she had to respond to her: "Okay." ”

On the day of the Yulan Festival, a dragon boat race is held in the moat.

There were a sea of people on both sides of the riverbank, and Yan Ran and Zhen Zhen couldn't squeeze in front of them to watch the grand occasion of the dragon boat race, so they could only listen to the crowd shouting and tsunami, and feel the warm atmosphere.

Yan Ran was in the crowded crowd, and suddenly saw two familiar figures, Cui Jingshi and Xiao Zun.

She was slightly worried in her heart, could it be that Xiao Zun saw that it was hopeless to cling to Zhen Zhen, so she turned to reconcile with Cui Jingshi?

Yan Ran was just stunned, but when she turned around, she found that Zhen Yu was gone.
