"Cheng Zhier's target was my brother Ying Zhuoxiu. At that time, Yaoguang lost her balance, and my brother helped her up. Cheng Zhier must have seen this, so she held a grudge against Yaoguang and pushed her into the lake."

My brother panicked and jumped down to save people.

Cheng Zhier probably wanted to cling to my brother, so she jumped into the lake to try and bother him, but Sheng Dong stopped her, and that's how she failed.

"This is utterly absurd!" Grand Princess Huaxi roared in anger.

Shangguan Tang looked guilty: "It's all my fault for not taking good care of you."

Now that this has happened, the innocence of the two young girls, Yao Guang and Hai Mu Jin, is ruined.

As for Cheng Zhier, she deserved it.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have left Cheng Zhier behind," Shangguan Tang said, filled with regret.

"All this talk is empty talk. Right now, how are we going to resolve the issue of the children? The people who came today are all on good terms with us, so I'm sure they won't say anything inappropriate."

However, the Second Prince, Princess Mingluan's entourage, and the Cheng family might not be able to keep quiet.

The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo frowned deeply, her face turning ashen.

Feng Yuheng changed his clothes and stood to the side. At this moment, whether he caught a cold or something else, his face was very red.

"Mother!"

He stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

Everyone turned to look at him upon hearing the sound.

Grand Princess Huaxi stared at him for a few moments, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are you trying to say?"

Feng Yuheng said, "Mother, if Miss Hai is willing, I am willing to take responsibility for her."

Hua Xi's tense brows relaxed slightly as she turned to look at Jiang Shi.

She had never really thought about marrying into the Hai family before, but the fact that her son actually went into the water to save Hai Mujin after she fell in was something worth pondering.

Jiang was stunned.

A hint of joy flashed in Ye's eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I think this is an excellent marriage. Prince Yuheng is outstanding in both character and appearance, and our Jin'er is no less so—gentle, virtuous, and intelligent. It's truly a match made in heaven!"

Jiang was also tempted. Feng Yuheng was indeed a good man, and more importantly, both Marquis Feng and the Grand Princess were good people.

In particular, Princess Huaxi, despite being a princess, was reasonable and open-minded, and would never mistreat her daughter-in-law.

Jiang was at a loss for words.

Feng Yuheng then said, "Madam Hai, I have long been in love with Miss Hai. If Miss Hai is also willing, I hope Madam Hai will not reject me."

Feng Yuheng bowed in greeting.

Jiang stood up and helped Feng Yuheng up. "Young Master Yuheng, you saved Jin'er this time. You are a benefactor of our Hai family."

Besides, the Crown Prince Yuheng is excellent in every way, so the Hai family and I have nothing to say about him.

However, we should wait until Jin'er wakes up before discussing this matter. Jin'er has been sensitive since childhood, and I don't want to wrong Prince Yuheng if she has other ideas in her heart.

If she also has feelings for Prince Yuheng, then it would truly be a match made in heaven.

Feng Yuheng's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Of course, such an important matter as marriage should be discussed with Miss Hai herself."

Princess Huaxi laughed and said, "Oh my, I never expected that falling into the water would actually help my son find a wife."

"Mother, what are you so happy about? Have you forgotten me?" Yao Guang asked softly.

Princess Huaxi's smile froze as she realized, oh, her daughter's reputation was also ruined.

Grand Princess Huaxi looked at her daughter and asked, "So what are you thinking? Do you want to take responsibility for Zhuo Xiu?"

Yao Guang: "?"

Yao Guang stamped her foot angrily, "Mother, I'm a girl!"

Grand Princess Huaxi: "Yes, you are a girl, but Zhuo Xiu is only nine years old, isn't he?"

"puff!"

"Pfft, cough cough cough!"

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince watched the play for a long time, and were quite shocked by the remark that she was only nine years old.

Both of them choked on their tea.

Yao Guang was dumbfounded.

"Nine, nine years old..."

Feng Yuheng looked at his sister with sympathy, "Yes, nine years old. Didn't Brother Zhuo Xiu just regain consciousness? His memory is still stuck eight years ago..."

Yao Guang's eyes welled up with tears. "How could you say that? He doesn't look nine years old at all!"

"Ah Tang, I watched Zhuo Xiu grow up. What do you think of these two children?"

Hua Xi looked at Shangguan Tang.

Shangguan Tang said, "Hua Xi, just as Yu Heng said, Zhuo Xiu's memory is indeed still stuck eight years ago. However, this child is precocious and his mind is no different from that of an adult. There is no problem with his age or mental state."

However, this child has been wasting many years of his life. Now that I am divorced, he has neither a title nor an official position, so I'm afraid he is...

"Ah Tang, Zhuo Xiu's talent goes without saying. He does not have an official position now, but that is only a matter of time."

Besides, even if Zhuo Xiu has no interest in fame or fortune for the rest of his life and wants to live a life of leisure with Yao Guang, I have no objection.

"I naturally believe your words. I watched Yaoguang grow up, and in my heart, she is no different from Fu'er."

"But the marriage is still a decision for the two children to make themselves. I really don't want to wrong Yaoguang. As for her reputation, I believe you, Huaxi, won't care. With Yaoguang's status, no one would dare to look down on her."

"That's true. If these two children can get together, I would be happy to see it happen."

Grand Princess Huaxi looked at her daughter, "Yaoguang, what are you thinking?"

Yao Guang's cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkled, and she said, "Mother, I...I'm willing to take responsibility for Ying Zhuoxiu!"

After saying that, her cheeks flushed bright red, and she covered her face with her hands, continuing in a muffled voice, "I just don't know what Ying Zhuoxiu thinks, after all, he's only nine years old..."

I'm afraid he doesn't understand this kind of thing.

A smile flashed in Hua Xi's eyes. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. How could she not know her daughter's thoughts? This child has liked Ying Zhuoxiu since she was a child. The small box under the bed is full of Ying Zhuoxiu's portraits.

This time, my wish has finally come true.

"Well, it seems this fall into the water has actually led to two good things!"

Ying Yufu, always eager for a good show, said...

"There are three," the prince corrected.

Ying Yufu's lips twitched. Cang Mingze and Cheng Zhier?

Given the Cheng family's current power, Cheng Zhier is probably unwilling to be a concubine.

The Second Prince's principal wife is finally settled.

Ying Yufu's eyes flickered slightly; Ying Hengzhi had finally met her match.

Meanwhile, on her way back, Ying Hengzhi was once again berated by the Second Prince.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, Zhi'er knows she was wrong, and Zhi'er will definitely not leave the manor again next time."

Ying Hengzhi lowered her eyes, looking pitiful.

"Second brother, what are you doing? Why are you scolding Zhi'er? I brought her out, it has nothing to do with her."

Second brother, you should think about what to do about Cheng Zhier!

Upon hearing Cheng Zhier's name, Cang Mingze felt a headache coming on. In a bad mood, he ignored Ying Hengzhi, turned around, mounted his horse, and left.

Ying Hengzhi followed Mingluan with a somber expression.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince riding towards her out of the corner of her eye.

"Third Imperial Brother, Fourth Imperial Brother!" Princess Mingluan greeted them.
