After confirming Shen Xiucheng's feelings, Shen Fu immediately went to Yun Dai and Jun Anning for help.

They never expected that their long-cherished wish to help Su Yingxue arrange her marriage would lead to their destiny being right beside them.

If she could marry the fifth son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, who in the capital would dare to look down on her in the future?

Women already have it tough in this world, so they should help each other even more.

First, Shen Fu had the incident of suppressing bandits in the mountain stronghold that day adapted into a play, and hired a special opera troupe to rehearse it.

Jun Anning then invited Su Yingxue out under the pretext of watching a play.

The female lead in the play is a woman named Ah Xue who is kidnapped by bandits but has extraordinary courage and wisdom. She manages to escape and also rescues her other sisters who are in distress.

As Su Yingxue watched, her expression gradually changed.

She quickly looked at Jun Anning, her gaze clearly saying, "Why does this plot seem so familiar?"

Jun Anning then revealed a mysterious smile, gesturing for her to continue watching.

Su Yingxue had no choice but to continue looking at the stage, where the plot had progressed to the scene of government soldiers storming into the bandit stronghold.

The leader, dressed in silver armor, was dashing and arrived just in time to kill the bandits who wanted to humiliate Ah Xue and save her.

He lifted her up in his arms, and in the instant their eyes met, a tender and melodious tune began to play.

"In times of crisis, I met you with your promise; your kindness is so profound that I would entrust myself to you."

Su Yingxue couldn't bear to watch any longer. She suddenly stood up, her cheeks flushed red.

Jun Anning already knew the truth, but pretended not to understand.

"What's wrong?"

"I... suddenly feel a bit hot and want to go outside for some fresh air."

She hurriedly tried to leave, but Jun Anning stopped her.

"This play is almost over, don't you want to know the ending?"

Su Yingxue had no choice but to grit her teeth and look over.

The scene shifts to Ah Xue and the Silver-Clad General's wedding night.

They sat in their new house, drank the nuptial wine together, and finally became husband and wife.

Jun Anning smiled and said, "That's truly touching. If someone had saved me like that, I'd probably want to repay their kindness with my own body!"

Su Yingxue's face turned even redder, as if she didn't know how to deal with the situation.

"Princess, please don't joke around. This is just a play; in reality, it might not have any positive outcome. The general was simply fulfilling his duty, acting out of loyalty and kindness, without expecting anything in return. Perhaps he already has a wife, and such 'repayment' would only cause him trouble?"

Jun Anning quickly retorted, "What if he falls in love with this woman at first sight and wants to cherish this hard-won relationship?"

Su Yingxue's expression turned somewhat somber. "Perhaps this woman also had her own unavoidable reasons and hardships, and had long since lost the right to 'repay kindness'."

This is probably what a conversation between smart people looks like!

Those who know, know!

Jun Anning took her hand, his tone earnest and earnest.

"What if he doesn't care?"

Su Yingxue's gaze darted away, and after a long pause, she finally said, "You're not him, how would you know what he's thinking?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice rang out from behind him: "I don't care! Because in my eyes, it was never an embarrassment or a disgrace, but a woman's willing forbearance and sacrifice for the greater good of the country."

Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned around to see the figure in silver armor appear behind her at some point.

Shen Xiucheng had shed his former boyishness and gained a more mature and masculine air, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

As Su Yingxue watched him walk towards her, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Jun Anning, as well as Shen Fu and Yun Dai who were hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Forced relationships are never sweet!

If Su Yingxue really had no feelings for Shen Xiucheng, they couldn't possibly force her to do something against her will!

Upon questioning her personal maid, it was learned that after Su Yingxue was rescued that day, she returned to the Nanjun Prince's Mansion looking absent-minded, clearly having fallen in love.

However, she felt inferior because of her past marriage to the Northern Dynasty, which had already damaged her reputation. How could she possibly marry into the Zhenguo Duke's family?

Therefore, she could only suppress her restless emotions and tell herself that she should know how to be content.

Being able to avoid the fate of being married off to the Northern Dynasty for political reasons is already a blessing from heaven; how could she ask for more?

But when she saw the content of the opera, she could no longer contain her emotions, which she had managed to suppress.

That's why she wanted to leave and didn't want anyone to notice her feelings.

Little did she know that all of this was a setup specifically designed for her!

That day in the mountain stronghold, the moment the bandits raised their broadswords at her, she closed her eyes, her heart filled with deep despair.

The expected pain did not come. When she opened her eyes, she found that the other person had been pierced through the chest by a long spear, and blood was splattered all over her face.

But she felt no fear; instead, she stared blankly at the figure in silver.

It was a young and handsome face, full of vitality and life, which was deeply engraved in her heart.

In the play, lovers eventually get married.

Off-screen, the person who made her heart flutter also appeared in front of her.

She could no longer contain her excitement, and her eyes reddened slightly.

At this moment, Shen Fu and Yun Dai also came out and encouraged her to ignore worldly opinions and boldly pursue true love.

Su Yingxue was originally a brave woman. The fact that she was able to remain clear-headed under the coercion of Murong Xiao and Jun Qiyuan and not collude with them shows that she was not an ordinary woman, but a very insightful person.

I believe she will be able to figure things out and make the right choice.

After a brief hesitation, she finally reached out and accepted the bouquet of flowers.

Amidst cheers, she ran towards her happiness.

Since they were in love, the next step was naturally to hold a wedding.

The wedding between the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the Prince of Nanjun's mansion naturally attracted much attention.

The wedding was officiated by the emperors and empresses of both countries, making it a truly magnificent occasion.

Shen Fu thought to herself, this trip back was so worthwhile. She even helped Fifth Brother settle his life's most important matter. It was truly a perfect ending!

Just as she was immersed in happiness, her father and brothers gave her an "eviction notice".

They say the Shen family is thriving now, and there will definitely be grandchildren born soon, so the room will soon be too small to accommodate everyone.

As a married daughter, she is like water spilled from a cup; she should naturally make room for herself and not stay at her parents' home forever.

And just like that, they "kicked" her out.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is so large and powerful that it could accommodate two more generations. How could there not be a place for her?

Shen Fu understood their intentions, of course.

After attending the wedding, the Emperor and Empress of Dongyue were about to return home.

They have tried to persuade her several times to go back and visit.

How could I possibly refuse so much warmth and kindness?

Come to think of it, she hasn't been to Dongyue yet, so she'll just treat it as a sightseeing trip!
