Episode 17

Ling Buyi surrounded the capital gate tightly, and Fan Chang did not find a chance to escape, so he had to find Prince Xiao to help him get out of the city.So Fan Chang came to the other courtyard arranged by Xiao Shizi. Fan Chang thought that if he met King Yong, he would share the money from selling arms equally, so that he would be able to sleep peacefully in the future.However, Fan Chang didn't wait long before a group of men in black suddenly appeared behind him and began to assassinate him. Fan Chang knew that he was not far from death, so he tried his best to hold on to his last breath until Ling Buyi appeared.The black armored guards had already surrounded them, and the others had nowhere to hide. They were all killed by the sword. The Liang brothers were shocked that Ling Buyi was so ruthless tonight. It was probably because Fan Chang's escape delayed him from escorting Cheng Shaoshang home.Early the next morning, news came out of the main room that Xiao Yuanyi was ill. Cheng Shaoshang and Cheng Shu both stayed by the bed to take care of her.

Even though Xiao Yuanyi was sick, he still didn't talk about Cheng Shaoshang, and was still talking about Cheng Shaoshang's fault. Cheng Shi wanted to let Niao go to serve Xiao Yuanyi, but now it seems that if he goes, the relationship will become even more tense.Xiao Yuanyi felt in her heart that nothing Cheng Shaoshang did was what she wanted. She only felt that she was playing around all day long and was not as careful as Cheng Shu.The so-called parents' order to be a matchmaker has been deeply ingrained in Cheng Shu's heart, and she is willing to obey the family's full arrangements. Xiao Yuanyi is very pleased for this.Cheng Shaoshang felt aggrieved and secretly felt sad when he went out on the pretext of pouring water. It happened that Wan Songbai came to visit with his daughter.After everyone entered the inner room, Wan Qiqi and Cheng Shaoshang went to play in the small courtyard. When they heard that she was getting engaged to Lou Yao, they really didn't understand why she liked such a helpless man.

Cheng Shaoshang believed that Lou Yao was an honest person, not to mention that he also wanted to live a peaceful life, just to be ordinary.Wan Qiqi, who is different from Cheng Shaoshang, naturally still insists on the hero complex. Cheng Shaogong followed Cheng Song and happened to hear this sentence, so he calculated for Wan Qiqi that her future husband was far away.In front of you.In fact, everyone knew that Cheng Shaogong was referring to the second brother, but Wan Qiqiu pretended to be confused.On the other hand, Xiao Yuanyi saw the children of the two families playing and fighting, and felt that it was necessary to invite a master to teach them, so as not to end up being educated but ignorant.When Yuan Shen learned that the Cheng family was going to start a homeschool, he thought of recommending himself. However, on the way there, he saw Lou Yao and his son visiting him, so he turned around and went back to change into more energetic clothes.Cheng Shaoshang was originally going to take Lou Yao to drink herbal tea, but suddenly he noticed the elderly woman beside him and immediately stopped where he was, with a cute expression on his face.

Madam No. 2 was humiliated because of He Zhaojun's break-up of the engagement. Now seeing Cheng Shaoshang's sensible appearance, she naturally felt happy and invited Xiao Yuanyi to discuss the engagement between the two families.Yuan Shen suddenly paid a visit and explained his intention. Cheng Shi, as the head of the family, was responsible for the hospitality, saying that his children were not worthy of Yuan Shen's personal instruction.Cheng Shaoshang changed his mind and asked Lou Yao to teach him. After saying this, he wanted to drag him to drink herbal tea. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Yuan Shen, who bluntly said that being greedy for coolness was the preference of the people in the market, and only hot tea was suitable.Cultivate your character.Both Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi realized that Yuan Shen came for Cheng Shaoshang, but Cheng Shaoshang did not like Yuan Shen and thought that he was sophistic and fickle and not as honest and reliable as Lou Yao.

Xiao Yuanyi also knew the reason, so he informed Cheng Shaoshang to go with him to the Lou family to return the gift tomorrow, so that he could see clearly the real situation of the Lou family.Ling Buyi informed Emperor Wen about Prince Xiao. Even though he had a fateful relationship with King Yong, he must be dealt with fairly.Considering that Emperor Wen still had affection for King Yong, he suggested that he be recalled to the capital to report on his duties. Emperor Wen asked about the whereabouts of Prince Xiao, only to learn that he had brought his bride He Zhaojun back to the fiefdom to get married.Especially when he learned that He Zhaojun and Lou Yao had been engaged, Emperor Wen became even more dissatisfied, feeling that it was him who abducted He Zhaojun, which led to Lou Yao taking away Ling Buyi's sweetheart.Xiao Yuanyi was invited to take her daughter to Lou's house as a guest, which made it easier for Cheng Shaoshang to get to know all the female relatives. However, Mrs. Lou ran the family much more strictly than Princess Ruyang, and she did not smile at all when she sat on the throne.

The second lady Lou always had to look at the other party's face, always lowering her head and not daring to look at the first lady Lou. Even when Lou Yao was reprimanded by the first lady Lou, she did not dare to say anything back.Lou Yao has become accustomed to it. Fortunately, Mrs. Lou agreed to the marriage. Mrs. Lou was so happy that she hurriedly brought the jade and gave it to Cheng Shaoshang as a token.Xiao Yuanyi did not accept the gift. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lou deliberately sow discord, implying that Mrs. Lou preferred Cheng Shaoshang to his eldest daughter-in-law Wang Yanji.There was a stalemate for a while, Cheng Shaoshang quickly said that Lou Ben met Wang Yanji while traveling abroad, and personally made a bronze mirror for her, which represented the meaning of inseparability. This was a precious gift that made others envious.

Cheng Shaoshang's words offended Mrs. Lou, but they impressed Mrs. Lou's second wife. She also hoped that Cheng Shaoshang would marry Lou Yao as soon as possible.After the banquet, the second wife of the building asked Wang Yanji to take Cheng Shaoshang to the building to get familiar with it. During the process, Wang Yanji expressed her gratitude to Cheng Shaoshang for what had just happened, and also informed the second room of the building of the house.It's just that the two didn't chat for long. Lou Li came uninvited and kept sarcastic about Cheng Shaoshang, so that he wouldn't come to the stage.At this moment, a group of people from the Lou family appeared behind and saw Lou Li's words that were not like a dignified girl, so Mrs. Lou asked her to go back and read the books of sages. When Xiao Yuanyi saw Cheng Shaoshang coming to the Lou family,There would still be conflicts with the Lou family, so I thought to myself that I would discuss with Cheng Shi whether the marriage should be reconsidered.
