As a result, her hand was grabbed by the man in front of her again: "Can you not leave?"

Wan Ge was frightened by his action and quickly retracted her hand: "Your Majesty, although we have an engagement, after all, we are only engaged now. Please respect yourself, Your Majesty."

Wan Ge left immediately after saying this.

Jiang Jin looked at the direction she left in annoyance, and at the same time, he was also reflecting on whether his behavior was really a bit too much.

"Your Majesty." After Wan Ge left, a man in black appeared in front of Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jin also knew that the other party had come a long time ago, but he did not show up because of Wan Ge.

The man in black nodded, and the other party approached Jiang Jin, and then he didn't know what he said in his ear.

Jiang Jin frowned a little tighter, and then hurried away.

Until the end of the banquet, Wan Ge did not see Jiang Jin again.

Wan Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and after greeting her family, she went back to her room to rest.

Old Madam Chi had several children, but she left Wan Ge's parents alone.

The others also knew that the old lady had something to say to them, so they left sensibly.

Looking at his mother sitting in the main seat, Chi Xiaoguogong asked in confusion: "What's the matter, mother?"

After taking a sip of tea, the old lady Chi slowly said: "Today, Prince Duan hinted that the marriage contract between our two families should be fulfilled, and you should also prepare well. Judging from Prince Duan's intention, he will probably come to propose marriage soon."

"Daughter-in-law understands, and daughter-in-law will ask Wan Ge to prepare well."

The old lady nodded, then waved her hand to indicate that the two of them could leave, and the couple left.

Just as they returned to the room, Chi Wanyue hurriedly walked into their room.

Chi Wanyue knelt directly on the ground, which scared the couple.

Chi Wanyue's eyes were red and she looked particularly aggrieved. Then she said, "Father and mother, my daughter loves Prince Duan."

When the little Duke heard this, his face darkened instantly, and his voice became colder instantly: "Nonsense, do you know what you are talking about."

Mrs. Chi also spoke: "Yue'er, stop being silly, get up quickly."

Chi Wanyue shook off her mother's hand and kowtowed the next second: "I am serious, I am not joking, please help me, father and mother."

The little Duke stretched out his hand directly, but raised it heavily and dropped it helplessly, hiding his hand back in his sleeve and shaking his sleeve.

"Do you know what you are talking about, you bastard, Prince Duan is your sister's fiancé."

Chi Wanyue shook her head quickly: "No, I only have an engagement with the Duke's Mansion, not with my sister, and I am also the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, why can't I get married?"

"You, you, you!" The little Duke was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"Yue'er, don't say that."

"Am I wrong? The prince is only engaged to the Duke's Mansion, not to my sister. I really like the prince, and I beg my father and mother to help." After saying that, she kowtowed to the ground again.

The couple was at a loss for what to do with this scene. Seeing that their daughter's forehead seemed to be red and swollen, Mrs. Chi immediately pulled her up.

How could the couple watch their daughter, who had been spoiled since childhood, kowtow and bleed.

"Everyone thinks that Prince Duan is engaged to your sister, so how can you take over?" Mrs. Chi sighed.

"That's just what they think, but in the end, it's still up to my parents."

"This..." Mrs. Chi looked at her husband with hesitation.

The young Duke felt it was absurd: "Don't mention this again, otherwise..."

Before the young Duke finished speaking, Chi Wanyue put the dagger against his neck: "If Daddy doesn't agree, I will die in front of Daddy today."

"You, you, you." The young Duke staggered and almost fainted.

As the old lady expected, it didn't take long for someone from Prince Duan's mansion to send the betrothal gifts.

The old lady didn't like Jiang Jin very much, but because this son-in-law had experience in marching and fighting, she would have a little more favorable impression of him.

Last time, she had a brief contact, and the overall feeling was still good. Although she didn't have much contact, the old lady was always very accurate in judging people.

Besides, Prince Duan took the initiative to mention it, so he must be satisfied with her granddaughter.

She personally brought up her granddaughter, and she believed that Wan Ge could be a good hostess.

Although the old lady Chi didn't want her granddaughter to marry into the royal family at the beginning, some things were destined to be unchangeable, and there was no way but to try her best.

After all, there is the Duke of Huguo Mansion. Even if Prince Duan wants to do something, he will consider the Duke of Huguo Mansion. Even his own son doesn't know if he can still hold on after a hundred years.The Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

After delivering the betrothal gifts, Jiang Jin, who had been in a particularly good mood for several days, looked at the secret guard who came to report in a hurry. Seeing the other party's anxious expression, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Speak." Jiang Jin's tone instantly turned cold.

"The princess... the princess left the city, and it seems that she is going to Jiangnan."

"What is she going to Jiangnan for? It will be my wedding date soon. What is she going to Jiangnan for at this time?"

The secret guard continued: "According to the information I have inquired, it is said that the princess is seriously ill and went to Jiangnan to recuperate. But I don't think the princess looks sick... but... maybe... she is... running away... running away from marriage."

After the secret guard said the word "running away from marriage", he felt that he was about to be stabbed. The prince's eyes were too scary.

The secret guard lowered his head even lower: "I guess the Duke of the State's Mansion will let the second lady take over."

"Ridiculous, is it the Duke of the State's Mansion's lady that the prince wants to marry? The prince wants to marry her." She dared to run away from the marriage, she actually ran away from the marriage.

"This..." The secret guard seemed not to see the look his colleague gave him, and added fearlessly: "The emperor's decree is for you to marry the Duke of the State's legitimate daughter, and the second lady is also a legitimate daughter."

So the Duke of the State's approach is theoretically possible. The reason is also sufficient. The eldest lady is not feeling well and is recuperating in Jiangnan. The wedding date is approaching and the second lady can only marry for her sister.

"Eh? Where are you going, Your Majesty?" The secret guard looked at the prince who went out directly, with a confused look on his face.

Another secret guard quickly pulled his sleeve: "Don't say it, don't you want to die?"

It is obvious that the prince cares about Miss Chi very much, otherwise he would not have sent them to secretly inquire about Miss Chi's situation at this time.

If Miss Chi had not been protected by someone, the prince would probably have asked them to protect her closely.

In fact, when they met the eldest lady, they knew that the eldest lady was also protected by secret guards, and her skills were not simple.

If they all knew it, the prince must have noticed it very early.

It is said that when the old Protector of the Country fought on the battlefield, there was a team of secret guards. In addition to some who accompanied the Protector of the Country to the battlefield and died, there were also some who were trying to find out news about the enemy country.

I don’t know if the one with the eldest lady is one of them.

Wan Ge, who had already left the city in the carriage, looked at the hairpin in her hand.

This was the hairpin that Jiang Jin bought for her when she wanted to buy a bracelet for her grandmother.

She thought... he was interested in her, otherwise he wouldn’t say those words. When his betrothal gift was delivered to her, she thought he was going to marry her.

Until yesterday... Yesterday, her mother said that her grandmother was sick and asked her to go to Jiangnan to take care of her grandmother.

At that time, Wan Ge was still confused and asked her mother in confusion: "But the prince's betrothal gift is not..."

And her mother sighed and told her earnestly that the prince was going to marry his sister.

Wan Ge didn't believe it at first, after all, the prince had always told her that she would be his princess.

But her mother's eyes were firm and her tone was particularly resolute.

"Wan Ge, you have to know that since ancient times, no sister has married before the elder sister. Now that Prince Duan has designated to marry your sister, if you don't find an excuse to leave, you will be the one who will be embarrassed and ruin your reputation."

Mrs. Chi lowered her head and continued: "I hope you can understand your mother."

Wan Ge still didn't understand what the other party said. It was estimated that her grandmother's illness was fake, and it was true that she wanted to stay away from the imperial city temporarily to avoid rumors.

There is indeed no precedent for the younger sister to marry before the elder sister, but the prince has sent the betrothal gift, which proves that he will not wait too long.

Since this is the case, how can Wan Ge not be obedient? I just feel sad.

At this moment, Wan Ge, no matter how hard she thought, would not think that her parents favored her sister so much that they could even give her a marriage contract.

After all, she didn't have much contact with Prince Duan. Although she had a good impression of Prince Duan, she had only met him twice and didn't know much about him. Maybe she really just misunderstood him.

But what he said was too misleading. Wan Ge really thought about whether he had said that to her before because he thought of her as his sister. After all, she and her sister were somewhat similar.

The more she thought about such things, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, so she simply stopped thinking about it and went to Jiangnan to avoid the limelight this time.

Wan Ge looked at the hairpin in her hand. It turned out that it didn't belong to her after all, so what.

Just as she was about to throw away the hairpin in her hand, she heard the sound of the carriage stopping.

Wan Ge lifted the curtain and saw that it was almost dusk.

The maid outside walked into the carriage: "Miss, it's getting late. There is an inn ahead. Let's rest there tonight."

Wan Ge nodded, and a guard had already walked in.inn, and she got off the carriage with the help of the maid.

When she walked into the inn, Wan Ge felt something was wrong.

But she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she didn't say anything in the end.

Until dinner, she saw the guards at the tables around her fall down one after another, including the maid she asked them to eat first.

The maid told her that when Wan Ge was eating, she was still bathing and thinking about something, so she asked the maid to eat first and then rest early.

But she didn't expect that before Wan Ge picked up the chopsticks to eat, she saw them fall down one after another.
