After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

Su Mingfeng's pupils contracted slightly as he looked at Marquis Yongning in disbelief.

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"How could Shen Ning possibly be the Regent's woman?"

Marquis Yongning lowered his voice and said, "I only heard this from someone in private. This matter must never be spread."

"On the day of the spring hunt, Miss Shen fell into the water. Young Master Ning was about to go down to save her when the Regent ordered his tendons to be severed and he was sent back to the Ning family."

"Many noble ladies present witnessed the Regent carrying the second daughter of the Shen family back to her room."

"Impossible!" Su Mingfeng simply didn't believe it.

"Wind, I know you don't want to believe it, but it's the truth."

"Otherwise, whichever girl you like, our Su family would have proposed marriage long ago, not to mention..."

Min hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Moreover, Su Mingfeng's identity is special.

He will eventually return to where he was meant to be.

The woman he wanted to marry was naturally different from ordinary people.

"I'll go to the Shen family myself and get to the bottom of this."

After saying that, Su Mingfeng turned and walked out of the hall.

Marquis Yongning immediately stood up.

"You scoundrel! What are you doing at the Shen family's house in the middle of the night?"

Su Mingfeng didn't even turn his head: "Naturally, I'm eloping with the Shen family's daughter."

"She must have been forced by the Regent."

"You scoundrel!" Marquis Yongning chased after him.

But Su Mingfeng moved extremely fast and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Min sighed as she sat in her chair and looked at Marquis Yongning.

"This child, his personality is exactly like his mother's."

"That Miss Shen is not someone he can't marry. If he really likes her, he can marry her."

"But now that we're involved with the Regent, things will likely be troublesome from now on."

-

Moon stars are rare.

When Shen Ning returned to the Shen family home, it was already dark.

She first went to see Madam Shen, and then hurriedly returned to Zhaohua Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the house, Zi Yuan came in from outside.

"Miss, Ziyu has already gone to Hanguang Temple to see Abbess Miaoren ahead of time, as you arranged."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the young lady and the young master should arrive at Hanguang Temple tonight."

Shen Ning said calmly, "Okay, I understand."

"This time, I'll let my elder brother see Shen Rou's true colors."

"Send a message to Ziyu, telling her to make sure everything is done perfectly."

"Yes, Miss."

Shen Ning was talking to Zi Yuan when suddenly the cuckoos called out from outside the window.

Zi Yuan asked in confusion, "Why would there be a cuckoo so late at night?"

Shen Ning frowned slightly.

Could it be... Su Mingfeng?

"Ziyuan, go to the outer courtyard and keep watch. Don't let anyone in."

"Yes, Miss."

After Zi Yuan left, a purple figure nimbly jumped in through the south window.

Shen Ning turned her head and saw Su Mingfeng wearing a purple cloak. Although his face was handsome, it carried a hint of solemnity.

"Shen Ning".

Shen Ning's heart tightened: "Your Highness, this is a woman's private quarters. How dare you trespass?"

Su Mingfeng's face was grim, his gaze fixed on her.

"Would you... like to come with me?"

"What?" Shen Ning thought she had misheard.

"I mean, was your affair with the Regent something you were forced upon you by?"

"If you don't want to marry him, I can take you away, and I can protect you."

Shen Ning was momentarily speechless.

"Young Master, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

"I always felt that you wanted to marry me for another reason."

"We had no connection before, you..."

Shen Ning paused, recalling what Xie Linyuan had said at the bottom of the cliff.

Is Su Mingfeng's desire to marry her due to Wan'er?

Could it be... that he actually likes Wan'er?

"Are you only wanting to marry me because you like my sister?"

Su Mingfeng frowned deeply: "What does this all mean?"

"If I liked Shen Wan, I would have just married her. Why would I bother coming all the way here?"

"I only ask you, about your relationship with the Regent..."

Su Mingfeng's expression was complicated.

"Did he force you?"

"How could a young girl like you get entangled with that madman?"

"Moreover, has your Shen family considered the consequences of marrying into the Regent's family? The Shen family could very well be pushed into an abyss."

"If you don't want to marry him, I'll take you away, I'll take you to the frontier."

Shen Ning bit her lip: "This matter has nothing to do with the young marquis."

"Young Master, I know how to handle this."

"We're not a good match."

"Moreover, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us that made you want to marry me."

She looked at the sullen-faced boy in front of her.

Now that things have come to this, it's time to make things clear.

Otherwise, we would only be letting Su Mingfeng down.

Besides, Su Mingfeng might not actually like her.

"I have someone I like."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Su Mingfeng's face was filled with turbulent emotions, his whole body trembled slightly, and he was somewhat at a loss.

He had just thought she was being forced, and even considered eloping with her...

In retrospect, it seems ridiculous.

"Is it the Regent?" he asked tentatively.

Shen Ning remained silent.

Su Mingfeng gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Forget it, it was just wishful thinking on my part."

He turned to leave, but Shen Ning called him back.

"Young Marquis."

Su Mingfeng: "Does Miss Shen have any further instructions?"

Shen Ning took a deep breath and asked, "Why do you want to marry me? I really don't understand."

"We had no connection before."

"Young Master, you've been training with the Marquis on the frontier for the past few years, and have only been back in the capital for half a year. Why would you suddenly want to marry me?"

Su Mingfeng turned to look at her: "You really don't remember anything at all?"

"Remember what?" Shen Ning asked blankly.

She doesn't remember anything.

Su Mingfeng sighed: "Fine, if you don't remember, then forget it."

"Since Miss Shen already has someone she loves, I will not disturb her any longer."

After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Watching that receding figure, Shen Ning felt a sense of unease.

Why is there a hidden meaning in Su Mingfeng's words?

-

After leaving the Shen family, a guard in black walked up to Su Mingfeng.

"My lord, news has arrived from Chu Prefecture, awaiting your command."

Su Mingfeng's eyes suddenly sharpened, completely different from the unruly youth he had just been.

"Have them keep an eye on things, make sure they don't get away."

The black-clad guard clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Yes, Master."

After the man in black left.

Su Mingfeng turned around and glanced in the direction of the Shen family again.

Does she really not remember any of it?

He returned from the border to find her, but she had fallen in love with someone else.

A surge of resentment welled up in my heart.

When Su Mingfeng returned to the Su family, he found that Marquis Yongning was still waiting for him in the main hall.

Seeing Su Mingfeng return with a sullen face, Marquis Yongning smiled.

"It seems that Miss Shen is unwilling to leave with you."

Su Mingfeng: "Father, you should stop making sarcastic remarks."

"Father, how exactly did you find me in Fuzhou back then?"

"Was it a young girl who went to the government office to report to the authorities?"

Marquis Yongning nodded: "To be precise, it was Shen Yanbao, the eldest son of the Shen family, who was appointed to the post."

"Shen Yan?" Su Mingfeng frowned.

"Which young lady from the Shen family was with Shen Yan at that time? Does Father know?"
