After retiring, I saved the crazy prince

Chapter 25
If the fourth cousin comes to visit tomorrow, if she expresses that she is eager to get married, she doesn't know what the fourth cousin will think of her, but if it is a normal engagement ceremony, it will take at least ten days to complete.

At this juncture, she lost her mind even more about going to some flower viewing banquets or meeting people.

Qi Shao got up suddenly and pulled Qi Jiuzhu to run outside.

"You can't just let it go like this. This invitation is not easy to come by. It is related to my sister's happiness. My brother must catch up with her and take the invitation."

Qi Jiuzhu was exhausted from being dragged and ran, her face flushed and panting, she shook off Qi Shao's hand, and persuaded: "Brother, we can't catch up, she left the door an hour ago, she should have arrived by now."

"It's all my fault. I should know that Chen's mother and daughter have sinister intentions, so I should hide the invitation close to my body. It's my fault. I can't even do this little thing well. How can I take care of you and Hui'er!"

Qi Jiuzhu felt even more guilty when she saw his face of self-blame and remorse. She couldn't hide it any longer, so she had to tell the truth: "Jiuzhu failed my brother's heart. This is Aunt Xue's letter. Jiuzhu has already decided to make a deal with him." The fourth cousin is engaged."

She urgently needs this marriage so that she can escape the fate of being manipulated.

She didn't have time to see each other at all, and she knew that she couldn't get into the eyes of those officials.The fact that Lu Mingtan broke the engagement showed that she should recognize the facts.

Qi Shao was slightly taken aback, speechless for a while, and seeing her determined expression, he sighed heavily.

"Since my sister has decided to marry Gu Yan, my brother respects my sister's wishes."

Qi Shao strode away and turned to leave, Qi Jiuzhu ran after him, pulled Qi Shao's robe, shook his arm lightly, and said to him coquettishly: "Brother, are you angry?"

Qi Shao bent the corners of his lips and said with a helpless smile: "How could I be angry with my sister? Isn't Gu Yan going to come to the door tomorrow? Marriage matters need to be handled by parents. I will persuade Aye to come forward for you Back up, save yourself from being bullied by that kid."

The golden sunlight sprinkled from the top of her head, coating Qi Jiuzhu's body with a layer of golden light, a thin layer of sweat ran out on her forehead, and the sweat became crystal clear under the sun, shining with a transparent luster. There was a hint of tide, and a pair of clear eyes seemed to have been washed in spring water, becoming brighter and cleaner.

"Brother." Qi Jiuzhu called softly.

This world is fickle, and people's hearts are even more fickle, but only her elder brother is her reliance, always thinking of her, and this has never changed.

Her nose was sore, her eye circles were red, but she felt warm in her heart. Qi Shao raised his hand and tapped her brow, "Okay, you go get ready too."

When he thought of that kid from the Gu family who abducted his beloved sister away, he felt unhappy in his heart.

If you can't go to the flower viewing banquet, you can only let down Brother Wei's wishes. Let's find a time to come to the door and apologize to Brother Wei in person.

Wei Xuan had been busy in the East Palace for most of the day, thinking that the Hundred Flowers Banquet of the Shen family had already begun, and it was time to leave for the Shen residence. He changed into his normal clothes, and prepared to ride his horse and leave for the Shen residence.

He opened the food box on the table and smelled the aroma of the peach blossom cakes. He curled his lips, smiled contentedly, and closed the food box.

This box of nodding has been placed on the table since Qi Shao gave it to him, but he was reluctant to eat a single bite.

Just because Qi Shao said it was made by Qi Jiuzhu himself.

Qi Jiuzhu also sent 20 taels of silver, fulfilling the promise of giving money in cash that day.

He had inquired that the Qi family lived on Qi Shang's monthly salary of 20 taels of silver, and she must have saved this money with great difficulty.

He put the 20 taels of silver in a gold inlaid jade box for collection.

Ever since they parted at Lanji Temple that day, he had been looking forward to meeting Qi Jiuzhu.

The day finally made him wait.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xie An's dejected face, and Xie An knelt down in front of him with a plop, "This subordinate is not doing his job well, please punish him, Your Highness."

Xie An didn't expect that Qi Jiuzhu didn't intend to go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet at all, and even the invitation was taken away and damaged by Chen Yao's mother and daughter. Most importantly, the little lady of the Qi family was too capable. The marriage with the Gu family was only mentioned yesterday, and Mr. Gu Lang will come to discuss the engagement with Mr. Qi's family tomorrow.

He didn't intend to give His Royal Highness a chance at all.

Qi Jiuzhu didn't go to the flower viewing banquet, but was about to get engaged to Gu Yan, and the matter had developed to a serious point beyond his control.

Xie An can only confess all this, maybe he will be beaten sixty times, he may be able to save his life if he is thick-skinned, but if His Highness goes to the Shen residence and does not see Mrs. Madam Qi made an engagement with someone else, maybe she would immediately take off his head.

Why did all these unlucky things happen to him recently!

Knowing that Qi Jiuzhu was going to be engaged to the Gu family, Wei Xuan didn't care about anything, he didn't even bother to deal with Xie An, so he hurried to Qi's mansion.

Unexpectedly, despite all his calculations, things were still out of his control. He clenched the rope tightly, and the wind beside his ears became extraordinarily bitter. The wind in March was still somewhat cold, and his eyes seemed cold. As deep as a pool.

He doesn't want to give up and won't give up.

He galloped fast, afraid that Qi Jiuzhu would be taken away again if he was late.

It wasn't until he saw the plaque of Qi's mansion and Qi Shao who was about to ride out of the mansion that he felt a little relieved.

Seeing Wei Xuan coming, Qi Shao was very surprised, "Brother Wei, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you at the door of our house."

Wei Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth, but in fact he came here at full speed.

"Why didn't Brother Qi accompany Lingmei to the Hundred Flowers Banquet at Shen's house today?"

Qi Shao's face turned red. After all, he failed his good intentions by not going to the Hundred Flowers Banquet. It must have been difficult to get this invitation as a bodyguard of Brother Wei. He rubbed the corner of his clothes and smiled a little embarrassedly. Smile: "I was planning to tell Brother Wei that my sister has already planned to marry the Gu family, so I won't go to the flower feast. I failed Brother Wei's good intentions. I'm really sorry."

Qi Shao's words undoubtedly pierced his heart. Although he had a smile on his face, the smile seemed a bit stiff. He came here in person to confirm Qi Jiuzhu's plan to be engaged to the Gu family.

It seems that the matter of getting married is real, and when Gu Yan comes to the door tomorrow, the two families will get engaged.

No, he was never one to give up lightly. If he had given up, he would have died in a dark and terrifying place like the palace, where people can eat people without spit out bones. If he had given up, he would not have the status he is today.

He clenched his fists, lost in thought.

Seeing that he was silent, Qi Shao continued to stab him with a knife in his heart, "Jiu Zhu is right, Gu Yan is an elegant gentleman, no matter in terms of appearance, character, and talent, he is impeccable. Now that I think about it, he and Jiu Zhu are very close Good match..."

Now that Qi Jiuzhu has taken a fancy to Gu Yan, when he went to Siqiu Courtyard to convince his father, he also convinced himself.

Wei Xuan has long heard that Gu Yan is Qi Jiuzhu's cousin. The cousins ​​grew up together. Could it be that they have been in love for a long time, but because of the marriage contract between the Qi family and the Lu family, they kept their thoughts in their hearts?
It must be like this.

If that wasn't the case, why did they get engaged after only two days of retiring the engagement.

It was he who forced Lu Mingtan to resign, but gave the Gu family and the Qi family a chance to get married.

Gu Yan had a good idea.

He snorted softly, his eyes flickered, he curled his lips, and before others saw the rapid change of emotion in his eyes, his expression was normal.

"Brother Qi is talking about Uncle Gu's fourth son in the Earl's Mansion of Dongchang? The talented man who topped the high school rankings in the local examination this year?"

Qi Shao nodded and said, "Exactly."

But Wei Xuan frowned, his face changed, and he hesitated when he spoke, "It's really him! This is going to be troublesome..."

Qi Shao had never seen him with such a deep frowning look, Qi Shao was originally short-tempered, seeing Wei Xuan's hesitant speech, he felt something was wrong, could it be that there is something wrong with Gu Yan?
His younger sister had suffered and been fooled by Lu Mingtan, and he became more afraid to be careless, so he hurriedly asked: "Is there something wrong with Gu Yan?"

Wei Xuan looked at Qi Shao pretending to be puzzled, and said in a mysterious way: "He is just too kind... It's just that His Royal Highness also appreciates his talent, and plans to betroth his cousin Qiongyu County Lord to him."

"What!" Qi Shao's complexion changed, and he became furious, he felt that Gu Yan was not good, and it turned out that he was a ruthless, ungrateful, and ungrateful person.
