She refused to marry.

After discussing for a while, Jinse got sleepy.

They helped Jinse back to rest.

Su Wanwan was afraid that Zhao would ruin things, so she ordered people to keep an eye on Jinrong Courtyard and not allow Zhao to leave the house.

No sooner had she stepped out of the courtyard than she saw Su Xian storming out.

"Su Xian!!" Su Wanwan called out to them.

"Sister Wan." Su Xian hid the rope behind her back.

"What are you going to do?" Su Wanwan stepped forward, her eyes glancing at the rope hidden behind him.

"I don't want to keep this from Sister Wan, I'm about to go and tie up the Jiang family!" Su Xian said, bowing her head.

"Hmm, good idea. Tie him up, make a big scene, and both families will lose face, and your promotion will be ruined." Su Wanwan snatched the rope from his hand.

"Sister Wan, what do you suggest we do?! Even if a man is not a good drinker, he wouldn't do such a thing." Su Xian's eyes reddened.

"I already said they were drugged. It's not their fault. I've met Jiang Zizhu; she's shy and timid, and she would never do such a thing." Su Wanwan sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Go and find out where Jiang Zizhu is on duty these next few days, what his usual hobbies are, and if possible, also find out who he likes. Come over tonight and we'll discuss it together."

Su Xian was taken aback. "Sister Wan is very thoughtful. I'll go right away."

Chunhua asked in confusion, "Does Miss have a good idea?"

"Jinse is beautiful and talented. I bet Jiang Zizhu has fallen for her." Su Wanwan placed the rope on the stone table.

"Huh?" Chunhua leaned in to probe for gossip. "Then, why didn't he dare admit it and go to propose marriage?"

"Your blockhead needs to be knocked out, and your brother is a prime example." Su Wanwan stood up. "Let's go, let's book a table for a welcome banquet for Lord Fengchen."

"Okay!" Chunhua cheered and followed.

Su Wanwan pondered where to order food that wouldn't attract attention. Her mind raced for a long time, filled with images of places the prince had taken her to before.

Thinking of the Crown Prince inevitably brings a pang of sadness to my heart.

The plot has changed now; Prince Changxin did not enter the capital, and Prince Fengchen did not die.

"Miss, this place is quite nice." Chunhua pointed to the tall buildings in the distance.

Su Wanwan thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Qiushi, let's go to the old alley."

"Yes."

"Miss, what are we going to do in the alley?" Chunhua muttered. It was so rare for her mistress to take her out like this, and now she was going to the alley.

"Go buy some sesame seed cakes." Su Wanwan smiled and curled the corners of her mouth.

"Huh?" Chunhua scratched her head.

Miss, His Majesty sent a thousand taels of gold this morning, and you're only giving me sesame cakes in return? Isn't that a bit too stingy?

Su Wanwan leaned against the window, thinking of her days in the Northern Border, feeling both heartbroken and sad.

The three bought some sesame cakes and on their way back, they encountered several young men and several beautiful young women.

Those young men were all handsome and exuded the vigor of the rising sun.

"I heard that His Majesty brought a beautiful young woman back to his residence?"

One of them, with a beaming smile, picked up some jewelry from the side.

"It must be her. I heard from Guard Jian that Brother Jing already has someone he loves. That woman is beautiful and a perfect match for Brother Jing. It must be that woman."

"The general said that His Majesty is getting married this time, and he has granted us permission to come to the capital for a few days to have some fun. I suppose the woman he is marrying is that one."

Su Wanwan frowned after hearing this, and almost dropped the sesame seed cake in her hand.

"Miss, let me take this." Chunhua carefully took the sesame seed cake that her mistress had already taken a bite out of from her hand.

"Miss, perhaps it's a misunderstanding." Qiu Shi stepped forward.

Su Wanwan lowered her eyes. It must have been a misunderstanding. Just as she was starting to feel better, Qiu Shi pulled her down again.

"However, Miss, now that His Majesty has returned in triumph, he is past the age of marriage and having children. You will have to face the prospect of him taking wives and concubines sooner or later," Qiu Shi said in a low voice.

Chunhua glared at her older brother.

Qiu Shi was worried about the young lady's condition.

"It's alright, I didn't say I wanted to marry him." Su Wanwan turned and walked towards the carriage.

My heart was never at peace throughout the journey.

She understood that a man could never settle down unless he was hung up on the wall.

Your Majesty is currently detached from worldly desires, but after experiencing the pleasures of sexual relations, you may not continue to adhere to a vegetarian diet.

"Qiushi, you guys go back first." Su Wanwan stopped in her tracks.

"Miss, I'll stay with you." Qiu Shi followed behind her. When Ranran was sad, she was alone and had the same expression.

He failed to protect Ranran and her family; he must protect them.

"I already said I'm fine. You guys go back first. I'll come back alone later." Su Wanwan took a deep breath and walked forward.

After walking about ten steps, the two people behind him were still following.

"Never mind." Su Wanwan sighed and wandered aimlessly through the streets, trying to guess who the woman she had brought back was. Half a day passed, but she still had no clue.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw Su Xian and his entourage. Upon seeing the carriage, they hurriedly came to greet them.

"Sister Wan, let's go, let's go back to the manor quickly, we've made a major discovery." Su Xian stopped the carriage and urged her to get off.

"Third Young Master, please take your time." Chunhua got off the carriage and reached out to help her young mistress.

Su Wanwan alighted from the carriage. "What is it?"

Su Xian whispered in her ear, "We found a portrait of my elder sister under Jiang Zizhu's pillow."

"That's good." Su Wanwan nodded.

"What's so great about him? He's just a coward!" Su Xian said angrily.

"Don't worry, the more cowardly you are, the easier Jinse's life will be in the future." Su Wanwan patted Su Xian's shoulder.

"Sister Wan, why aren't you in a hurry at all?"

The two walked inside while talking.

"There's no use in being anxious. Have you found out what time he'll be leaving court tomorrow? Is he accompanied by anyone?" Su Wanwan stepped across the courtyard.

"Even if someone beats him up, he'll be left with no one. Sister Wan, what do you suggest?" Su Xian grabbed Sister Wan's hand in the courtyard.

"If being anxious would help, I'm even more anxious than you," Su Wanwan said, annoyed.

"Sister Wan, my sister is pregnant. I... I'm so worried!" Su Xian was pacing anxiously.

Su Wanwan scratched her forehead. "Have you found out about Young Master Jiang's usual behavior and time after court?"

"He would always pass through Zhuque Street at the beginning of Shenshi (3-5 PM) every day, and then go to have tea alone." Su Xian took out his notebook.

"Is the seating arrangement for tea fixed?" Su Wanwan asked, glancing sideways.

"It's not very fixed. He usually goes wherever there's new tea." Su Xian stared at the records in the notebook.

"Qiushi, send a batch of new tea to Yuelai Tea House tomorrow. Have someone keep an eye on Young Master Jiang. Once he goes there, inform him immediately." Su Wanwan snatched the notebook.

Su Xian turned her gaze and asked, "When did Sister Wan arrive with the new tea?"

"When doing business, it's inevitable to visit unfamiliar shops. This tea is for making arrangements. It's top-quality spring tea, only available in Lingnan. If Young Master Jiang knows tea, he will definitely go there."

"Miss, I'll go arrange it right away." Qiu Shi turned and left.

Su Xian waved, "I'll go too."

Su Wanwan walked through the courtyard and came face to face with Su Jinse, who was standing at the door.

"Jinse, why aren't you resting inside?"

"Greetings, Sister Wan." Su Jinse bowed slightly.

Su Wanwan hurriedly helped her up, "No, did you ask Yaoyue for any methods to nourish the fetus today?"

"Yes." Jinse nodded. "Sister Wan, are you hoping to run into Young Master Jiang?"

"It wasn't me, it was you."
