Since the Wang Pei incident, Qin Fangtian no longer doubted Yao Feiran's speculations.

"There's another thing. He also publicized the fact that I tried to elope back then, but it didn't cause a big stir. Do you mind what happened back then?"

Qin Fangtian coughed a few times: "There's no need to talk about the past. Everyone makes mistakes when they're young. As long as you live your life in peace, that's enough."

Yao Feiran gave him a strange look, feeling that there was something odd about what he had said.

Finally, the two agreed that they could choose engagement partners for the two sisters, who were sixteen years old, which was about right in this era.

Yao Feiran called Qin Zhen in alone and placed a row of portraits of men in front of her, with detailed information written on the back.

Qin Zhen looked at it curiously.

"Mother, I don't want to get married. Why can't I be like a man and stay with my parents for the rest of my life?"

"You're looking for a son-in-law?"

Qin Zhen's eyes lit up: "Is that okay?"

Qin Fangtian angrily said, "Nonsense! How many men who marry into the family are successful?"

Yao Feiran: "Of course."

Qin Fangtian:.......

Seeing that Qin Fangtian remained silent, Qin Zhen thought to herself that although her father looked fierce and menacing, he was still completely under her mother's thumb.

Yao Feiran took the batch of portraits away: "I'll get you another batch another day."

"Alright, my daughter must be good-looking, with fair skin, handsome features, a face like jade, over eight feet tall, and a gentle personality..."

".....OK."

Qin Fangtian frowned, and seeing that Yao Feiran had spoken, he could only shut up.

After Qin Zhen left, Qin Xuan called her over alone. This time, Yao Feiran asked directly, "Are you willing to marry the Third Prince?"

Qin Xuan pondered for a moment: "My daughter is willing."

Qin Fangtian: "??!!"

"Who is the Third Prince?"

From which nook and cranny did he come out? How did he manage to catch the eye of the lady and daughter?

"Li Changzai's son. After Li Changzai's death, the Third Prince was raised by Consort Yun for a few years before being sent to the Prince's Residence."

"He should be an adult by now, hasn't he been made a king yet?"

"Perhaps because he is not favored."

"..." Qin Fangtian hesitated for a moment: "Madam, would you like to reconsider? Although I hold military power and my daughter's marriage must be taken seriously, there's no need to be so perfunctory."

"He will come to your door tomorrow; you can test him yourself."

Wang Muyuan said that Shen Zeyu was very good at leading troops in battle, so he would definitely be able to get past Qin Fangtian.

Qin Fangtian was still a little confused. Shen Zeyu was about to arrive?

Shen Zeyu was an inconspicuous prince. Yao Feiran simply asked someone in the palace to let him meet Qin Fangtian, and no one would notice them.

Shen Zeyu entered the general's mansion with trepidation, where Qin Fangtian had been waiting for a long time.

"Your Highness, I wish to speak about my daughter, Qin Xuan."

Qin Fangtian exuded an imposing aura without anger, while sweat beaded on Shen Zeyu's forehead. "I admire the Second Miss and wish to marry her."

"You have no skills whatsoever, so why would you think I would marry my daughter to you?"

"As long as General Qin is willing to marry the Second Miss to me, I will treat her with all my heart and never have another woman in my life. If I break my promise today, I will be struck by lightning."

Qin Fangtian's expression improved somewhat, and Yao Feiran suddenly reached out and bent the iron rod at a ninety-degree angle.

"I don't believe in men's promises, but I can tell you that if you break your vow, you'll be like this iron rod."

Qin Fangtian said in a low voice, "Madam, you've gotten stronger again."

Shen Zeyu: "......."

After a while, Qin Fangtian and Shen Zeyu started drinking and chatting. The tension between them had dissipated. Yao Feiran arranged for someone to bring some snacks to go with their drinks and then left.

As I passed by, I saw Qin Xuan watching from a distance.

When Qin Xuan saw Yao Feiran, a hint of panic flashed across his face.

"daughter."

"You're worried about His Highness the Third Prince, aren't you?"

Qin Xuan lowered his head and remained silent, while Yao Feiran comforted him.

"Don't worry, your father won't do anything. After all, the other party is a prince."

Qin Xuan looked up with a determined look in his eyes: "I'm not worried. His character will definitely pass Father's test."

Yao Feiran smiled slightly.

The protagonist's good fortune must come from someone who is kind to her from beginning to end, not from someone who hurts her and then repents.

By evening, Shen Zeyu was already quite drunk and was unsteady on his feet. He almost fell backward when someone steadied him from behind. When he turned around, he saw that it was Qin Xuan.

"Third Prince, go back and drink some hangover tea. Don't stay up too late."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Miss."

As he left, he seemed to feel a burning sensation on his back, and just as he stepped out the door, he inexplicably turned back for a glance.

Qin Xuan stood there, the night too dark to see her expression, but Shen Zeyu knew she was looking at her.

Her eyes were gentle and soft, clean and pure, reflecting only herself.

Previously, this was something he dared not even dream of.

But now we can be so close.

He was in constant fear, afraid that it was all just a dream.

........

The Duke of Dingguo's mansion soon announced that his eldest daughter was seeking a husband.

The whole capital is talking about this.

Soon, matchmakers came to inquire.

Yao Feiran was choosing Qin Zhen's future husband when Xiao Xi looked panicked, glancing at Qin Fangtian and then at Yao Feiran.

"What is it?"

"Madam, there's a scholar outside who says... he has your things."

"What scholar?"

"It seems to be Young Master Luo."

Luo Wenxi? The person the original owner eloped with.

Yao Feiran glanced at Qin Fangtian: "Husband, this person should be Luo Wenxi, the one I tried to elope with back then. We haven't seen each other for so many years. I don't know why he came to our door today. I suspect it was Li Chenxuan who did it."

Qin Fangtian glanced at Yao Feiran and saw that her expression was completely calm, so his initial jealousy disappeared.

Over the years, the lady has long since grown to dislike that man; otherwise, she wouldn't be so calm upon hearing his name now.

"Bring the person over here."

After a while, Luo Wenxi came over. He looked up and saw Qin Fangtian with a dark face, and his legs trembled slightly.

Didn't they say Qin Fangtian had left the manor? Why is he still here? And why is Yao Feiran meeting him in front of him? Isn't she afraid Qin Fangtian will misunderstand?

"Luo Wenxi, you said you took my things, what things?"

Luo Wenxi did not speak directly, but instead said, "This humble citizen has a son who has now passed the preliminary examination. I wonder if he is willing to marry Miss Qin."
