On the third day after the Gu family came to cancel the engagement, news came out from the Duke of Qi's mansion that the eldest daughter of their eldest son had made a marriage arrangement with the eldest son of Gu.

When the news reached Wei Hanzhang's ears, she was sitting under the flower vines, playing chess with Xiao Junzhan, twirling Bai Zi's hand for a moment, and looking sideways: "Why are you telling me this?"

Ning Hai, who came here specifically to report, was stunned and couldn't answer.

On the other hand, Xiao Junzhan, who had been silent for a long time on the other side of the chessboard, took over and said, "I ordered him to report any news about the Gu family at any time."

"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent and said awkwardly: "Don't you have anything else to pay attention to?"

Why do you always focus on this little child's emotional affairs?

Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and looked at her carefully. Seeing that she looked fine, he said slowly: "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No!" Wei Hanzhang dropped the white piece in his hand, "You can pick it up and put it down, there's nothing to feel uncomfortable about."

Affordable...

Xiao Junzhan paused, picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip, suppressing the sudden sourness in his heart.

"By the way," he changed the subject: "The Jiang family's case is over. The Dali Temple will release them tomorrow. Jiang Zixiu and his family were sentenced to ten years of exile in Lingnan, and they will leave tomorrow."

"Really?" Wei Hanzhang was stunned at first, then pushed the chessboard away in surprise, stood up and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I want to go back and tell my mother the good news."

"Wait..." Xiao Junzhan hurriedly grabbed her wrist. Seeing how happy she was, he said warmly: "How are you going to tell your mother that you know the news?"

what…

Wei Hanzhang's smile froze on his face.

Yes, she can't tell the Jiang family that Prince Yan next door told me that the Jiang family can be released from prison tomorrow.

The girl's stunned look was also very good-looking. Xiao Junzhan's heart was aflame when he saw it. He liked her so much that he couldn't help but pinch her face gently and coaxed: "Your father is also worried about this matter. I estimate the time. He should know this news, and he will tell your mother."

The tender meat on his face was gently picked up. Wei Hanzhang opened his eyes wide and pushed the person further away. He covered the place where he pinched him, feeling ashamed and angry: "Why are you like this again!"

"It's my fault, I can't help myself," Xiao Junzhan stared at his fingertips with lowered eyes and said with a smile, "Ran Ran, I have something to tell you."

"...What?" Knowing the news that the Jiang family was about to be released from prison, Wei Hanzhang was in a good mood and was not too angry.

She raised her eyes and was about to ask in detail when she saw one of the two maids guarding the courtyard door walking towards her. After bowing, she said, "Miss Wei, your maid came to call you because there is something urgent. "

Wei Hanzhang was stunned and said hello.

He turned to look at the man beside him and said: "My maid will not come here to look for her if she has nothing to do. I think she really has something to do. I have to go back first. If you have anything to say, please leave it to another day."

"...Okay," Xiao Junzhan said with gentle eyes, "Come tomorrow..."

"Not tomorrow. I have to pick up my grandmother and the others tomorrow. I'll come over the next day." Thinking of my uncle who was about to be exiled, he couldn't help but ask: "Exiled prisoner, can my family go see him off? It's a bumpy road... …”

"Okay, you can make some money if you want," Xiao Junzhan nodded and said, "The law is ruthless. I can't directly absolve Jiang Zixiu of his guilt, but Ran Ran, if you really can't bear to see them exiled thousands of miles away, I can teach you. A way to save people."

His voice was a little coaxing: "Do you want to know how to save your uncle's family from exile?"

They say the law is ruthless, what else can be done?
Wei Hanzhang wondered: "What?" "Become a queen," the two were very close. Xiao Junzhan took a deep breath and said: "It is a custom to give favors to the queen's mother family. You have grown up in the Jiang family since you were a child, so you can be considered half of it." As a mother clan, as long as you become the queen, I guarantee that the Jiang family will at least be granted the title of earl, and the Jiang Zixiu family will be exempted from sin."

"..." Wei Hanzhang was silent and asked curiously: "Is it true that I can become the queen if I say I can? Since the death of the previous queen, Your Majesty has never established a queen..."

"Ran Ran, let me tell you something," Xiao Junzhan pinched the center of his eyebrows and interrupted, dumbfounded, and said, "His Majesty had intended to become the crown prince three years ago."

Wei Hanzhang's heart skipped a beat. Something flashed through his mind, but he was not caught. He looked up at the man in front of him in surprise.

Xiao Junzhan's eyes were bright and he looked at her tenderly.

When he looked at her like this, Wei Hanzhang's mind was in confusion. He turned his head to avoid his sight. When he saw the maid standing aside, he was shocked to realize that he had wasted a lot of time.

She hurriedly said: "I really have to go back."

Xiao Junzhan stopped her again and said, "The day after tomorrow I will go to Duke Dingguo's mansion to celebrate her birthday, but I am not here. Ran Ran, come back in two days, and I will tell you something then."

Come back in two days?
Wei Hanzhang nodded: "Okay."

He had already mentioned the matter of going to Dingguo Duke's residence to celebrate his birthday yesterday, and Wei Hanzhang also knew about it.

I also asked her if she would go, and the answer was of course no!

The reason is very simple. His Majesty's current wife, the late Queen Xiaoyi, was born in the Dingguo Palace.

The old Duke of Guo is the grandfather of the Crown Prince and Princess Changle. For his seventieth birthday, not only all the major aristocratic families in the capital will be celebrating, but also His Highness the Crown Prince, who is busy with everything, will also be present.

Qi Yuxiao, who was deprived of the title of princess, will definitely go. Wei Hanzhang had just been warned and bullied by her, and had his fiancé snatched away. He was a complete loser. He really didn't want to meet her.

As expected to come back in two days, Wei Hanzhang hurried back to his yard.

When the people walked away, Xiao Junzhan glanced sideways at Ning Hai: "That person hasn't left yet?"

"Yes," Ning Hai said: "Yesterday after he found out that he had broken off his engagement with the Wei Mansion, the young master of the Gu family called out to look for Miss Wei. He was locked in the room by his family. Today, early in the morning, Mr. Gu and his wife went there. He was hired by the Duke of Qi, so he escaped."

Sensing that his master was in a bad mood, Ning Hai carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead and said secretly that the Gu family was really bad at doing things and couldn't even look at anyone...

Xiao Junzhan was silent for a long time, looking at the roses beside him, and said softly: "Let's go and see what Gu Yunran wants to do when he comes to find Ran Ran."

…………

Luzhu Lulan was waiting at the courtyard gate. When she saw her master coming back, Fu Shen said, "Girl, Grandma Zhou next to Madam is here."

"Did you tell me why you called me?" Wei Hanzhang asked as he walked.

"I didn't mention it specifically, but..." Luzhu paused and said, "My servant just heard it. It seems that the husband of the Gu family is here and has been standing outside the house for most of the day."

Wei Hanzhang paused and turned back abruptly: "What?"

Lu Zhu said: "I came here this morning, and now I am still standing at the door of the house. The eldest son has already gone to catch up with me twice."
