Chapter 970: Seeing Old Acquaintances Again

"Princess Chen!" When Zhang Qilan saw Shao Wanru, she bowed respectfully. Shao Wanru smiled and pulled her up and teased, "I will have to call you my sister-in-law from now on!"

Even though she was generous, Zhang Qilan's face still turned red, and she slapped her with the handkerchief, "Look who I brought here!"

Zhang Qilan stepped aside, revealing a pretty girl following her. She had thin eyebrows and a beautiful face that looked very thin. She looked at people with a bit of timidity. This timidity was inexplicably familiar, and Shui Turning his eyes, he couldn't help but show an expression of surprise.

It's actually an acquaintance, Luo Xiaowan, the daughter of Mrs. Yangqu Hou Shizi!

"Xiaowan has met Princess Chen!" Luo Xiaowan took two steps forward and saluted Shao Wanru.

Shao Wanru hurriedly reached out to help her up, and said excitedly: "Sister Xiaowan, is it really you?"

"It's me!" Seeing Shao Wanru's affectionate attitude, Luo Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile in his eyes and nodded.

"Great, I haven't seen you for so long. I heard you are recuperating from an injury. Why haven't you gone out?" Shao Wanru was indeed very grateful for the old acquaintance in Jiangzhou and couldn't help but say at this time.

"I'm not in good health... so I'm keeping it up!" Luo Xiaowan lowered his head and said vaguely.

Zhang Qilan said: "It's been so long since Xiaowan's incident, and it's not your fault, so you don't have to feel embarrassed!"

This sounded quite reasonable, and Shao Wanru asked: "What's wrong, but what happened?"

"Do you still remember what happened when you met Madam Yangquhou Shizi in Jiangzhou three years ago?" Zhang Qilan said without so much scruple.

"Qilan..." Luo Xiaowan stamped his feet and said with a blush.

"Let's go in and talk!" Shao Wanru looked at the people waiting on her left and right and said. Just now, she came to the entrance of the courtyard specifically to greet Zhang Qilan.

At this time, everyone was talking at the courtyard gate, and a large group of maids and women were waiting on the side.

"Yes, you see I have forgotten my form for the moment, so let's go in and talk!" Zhang Qilan immediately understood that this place was indeed not the place to talk.

The three of them entered the main room together and took their seats in the room respectively.

After the maids brought tea, Shao Wanru waved his hand, and Yujie led the maids and women to retreat, leaving only three people in the room.

"What's going on?" Shao Wanru asked.

"Princess Chen!" Luo Xiaowan stopped talking, bit her lip, lowered her head, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and didn't know where to start for a while.

Zhang Qilan took over the topic, "Three years ago, Mrs. Yangqu Shizi took Xiaowan on a blind date. It was an intimate affair. The two families started discussing it in novels. Later, the husband moved and was no longer in the capital. But this marriage still counts, Mrs. Yangqu Hou Shizi loves her children, so she took Xiaowan on such a special trip, but unexpectedly, she discovered something!"

"What did you find?" Shao Wanru raised his watery eyes and asked suspiciously. It seemed like this might have something to do with him.

Luo Xiaowan still lowered his head, only rubbing the handkerchief in his hand, showing that he was uneasy.

"Originally, when they were in Jiangzhou, they stayed for one night and then went to where they wanted to go. The family also followed them there. Unexpectedly, they met Princess Chen there and something like that happened.

This incident actually made Madam Yangqu Hou Shizi more discerning. When you were in Jiangzhou at that time, Di's reputation was also very good, but in fact she was a sweet-faced and bitter-hearted person, and even wanted to sell you out. Just because you blocked her daughter's way. "

"The family that Xiao Wan booked is also very good. When the news came out in the past, he was also a perfect person. Mrs. Yangqu Hou Shizi was very satisfied and took Xiao Wan over. Just to have a look, this matter will be solved After settling down, I didn’t expect that there would be someone as good at pretending as Di in the world, so Mrs. Shizi specially rushed her schedule and arrived at the place a day early!”

Zhang Qilan paused here.

Shao Wanru didn't respond, and her expression clearly showed that she was listening carefully.

She did listen very carefully. Luo Xiaowan did not live a happy life in her last life. The family she chose was a white-eyed wolf. She didn't know if the family she was talking about now was the same family.

Looking at Luo Xiaowan's attire, she should still be unmarried. Even if there was something wrong, it was still too late, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After entering Beijing, she had not seen Luo Xiaowan and did not know her specific situation. Even if she wanted to remind her, she was powerless.

"That family is actually not that nice. Mrs. Yangqu Shizi went to that place a day early and happened to see the young master buying jewelry with two charming concubines. At first glance, he looked like a promiscuous man. The master, Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi, slapped the young master in anger, and then returned to the house angrily, wanting to break off the engagement, but Mrs. Yangquhou was unwilling, and this delay lasted three years!"

"You haven't solved it yet?" Shao Wanru asked with his heart moving.

"Not yet. Mrs. Yangquhou is only interested in getting married to the other party and doesn't care about Xiaowan at all. It's useless for Mrs. Shizi to talk about it. The matter can only be delayed like this. Now this family has written that she must marry Xiaowan. Wan, the Crown Prince's wife is so angry!" Zhang Qilan sighed, whoever encounters this kind of thing would be in trouble.

Luo Xiaowan was not a strong person to begin with, and this will make him even more weak.

"I haven't seen Sister Xiaowan in the past three years. Is it because of this?" Shao Wanru blinked and asked.

"I'm not in the mood. My mother also told me not to show off. No matter whether I withdraw from the engagement or not, this kind of thing is always not good for a woman!"

Luo Xiaowan's eyes were red. Even after three years, she still remembered the look of that libertine very clearly. He was not a good person at first glance, and he actually said that she would not marry even if she died. For such people!

"Why didn't Mrs. Yangquhou cancel the engagement?" Shao Wanru thought of the crucial point. Since she was not a good match, why didn't Mrs. Yangquhou want to consider her granddaughter.

"This marriage is related to the Xingguo Marquis Mansion." Zhang Qilan said.

"How do you say that?" Shao Wanru became more and more strange.

"Actually, this marriage was arranged by the Madam of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion. The two families started discussing it when I was young. If I withdraw at this time, my grandmother said that the Madam of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion will lose face!" Luo Xiaowan This time he spoke. He raised his head and looked at Shao Wanru, pleading, "Princess, can you help me and let the lady in your house speak!"

"The matchmaker the Mrs. Tai said?" Shao Wanru became more and more surprised. After eight or nine twists and turns, this matter ended up on his head.

Well, I have to say that fate is really wonderful.

"Even if the matchmaker said it can be solved, why do you keep puzzling about it and delaying it?"

This thing sounds more and more mysterious. In the last life, he did not meet Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi in Jiangzhou, and Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi did not see the Di family sending people to harm her. Of course, she would not suspect anything about her relationship with Luo Xiao. Wan went to the house where he was engaged and continued on the planned journey, and there was no sight of the swinger.

After the two got engaged, Luo Xiaowan married her not long after, and her life was miserable. That marriage was a tragedy.

Now because of his rebirth, has Luo Xiaowan's fate changed? So much so that Luo Xiaowan hasn't gotten married yet, and it seems like the marriage won't happen yet.

Mrs. Yangquhou Shizi, whom she had met that day, was a straightforward person. Since she was able to hold off on this marriage, she had made up her mind not to let Luo Xiaowan marry her. She would rather drag Luo Xiaowan into The old girl has absolutely no intention of getting married.

That being the case, why can't I understand that my grandmother, the wife of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion, is not that strong!

"In fact, this matter is not only about the Madam in your house, but also about the Empress!" Zhang Qilan said dissatisfied, "Originally, this matter was just a trivial matter. I don't know why that family still had an affair with the Empress. Some connections arose, and the queen came forward to ask the lady of your house to act as a matchmaker."

If it's just a simple marriage, the woman won't want to do it if she doesn't want to. But there is something about the Queen and the Empress involved, so it's not an ordinary thing. If the marriage is resolved, it will refute the Queen's opinion. In terms of face, Madam Yangquhou is not the Crown Prince’s wife, so she is not so courageous.

This matter has been postponed again and again, and it has been postponed until now. This is also the reason why Luo Xiaowan has never appeared in front of others. With such a terrible thing, no one is in the mood to have fun, and Luo Xiaowan is always like this He has such a cowardly temperament that he sheds tears every day.

This kind of Luo Xiaowan looked inexplicably like himself in the previous life, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.

"Is this why you came here this time?" Shao Wanru asked with his eyes flashing slightly.

"Please...please help Princess Chen..." Luo Xiaowan stood up and was about to salute Shao Wanru, but Shao Wanru held her in his arms and said with sincerity, "Sister Xiaowan, what kind words did you say? When we were in Jiangzhou, Mrs. Shizi helped me, and Sister Xiaowan and I hit it off right away. Now that we meet again, there is no need to be so polite. I will definitely try to help you with this matter!"

When he was in Jiangzhou, he inherited the love of Madam Yangquhou Shizi, and later when he came to Beijing, Madam Yangshihou also helped him.

"Thank you, Princess Chen!" Luo Xiaowan's voice was choked with sobs, and she was moved. Most of the anxiety she felt on the way here was gone.

Three years ago, she and Shao Wanru wanted to make peace, but now three years have passed, and Shao Wanru's identity has also undergone earth-shaking changes. It may not be useful to recall the past relationship.

"Tell me what Mrs. Yangquhou means? What does Mrs. Shizi mean? What should be done to minimize the harm of this matter?" Shao Wanru raised his eyes and looked at the two people. .

These questions are critical questions, and she must figure them out first...
