After the banquet ended, Ling Busi personally sent Cheng Shaoshang back to his house. There was a silence in the carriage, and the sound of the wheels rotating outside could be heard. Ling Buyi took the initiative to talk with Cheng Shaoshang, curious about why she was depressed. Cheng Shaoshang bluntly expressed his true thoughts and did not want to rely on Ling Buyi's power.
But Ling Buyi didn't understand at all. After all, husband and wife are one, so why bother care about each other? He is willing to give everything for each other. In fact, Cheng Shaoshang is just a troublemaker for being so pretentious, and he is even afraid that he will live according to the other party's rules when marrying Ling Buyi in the future. Cheng Shaoshang took out a piece of cake from the scarf and handkerchief. Ling Buyi stopped him, saying that eating after noon would be bad for health.
However, Cheng Shaoshang did not like to control and refused to tell the reason. Just as Ling Buyi was deeply confused, a report about the west village of the suburbs of the city suddenly came from outside the carriage. Ling Buyi sent someone to send Cheng Shaoshang back to his residence, and then learned that Han Wu had not returned for a long time and suspected that he had encountered an accident, so he decided to go to Xicun to investigate in person.
The last time he broke off the engagement with the Lou family, it has already caused dissatisfaction with Mrs. Cheng. Now he is engaged to Ling Buyi again, and Mrs. Cheng is overjoyed. In particular, Ling Buyi was the adopted son of Emperor Wen, who was equivalent to a royal relative and noble family, and his status was far higher than Lou Yao. Old Mrs. Cheng hurriedly ordered the servants to clean up the yard so that the betrothal gift could be placed.
But Ling Buyi had not sent a Geng post yet. Xiao Yuanyi felt that Old Lady Cheng was too happy. Old Lady Cheng immediately refused and urged Xiao Yuanyi to grasp the marriage well. At this time, news came from the lotus room that Chunyu was unable to hire him as soon as possible on the grounds that he was ill. The Cheng family was very angry.
Princess Ruyang believes that as long as the betrothal gift has not been issued yet and the Geng letter has not been exchanged, it means that the marriage is not counted, and Princess Yuchang still has the chance to marry Ling Buyi. Unexpectedly, Ling Buyi ordered someone to join the palace to organize the marriage on his behalf. Tomorrow, he could send the old prince to serve as a ritual official to the Cheng family to hire him.
The old prince of the dynasty was King Ruyang. This man cultivated his mind and had few desires, was good at finding inaction, and was in harmony with Princess Ruyang. However, Princess Ruyang relied on her meal to Emperor Wen to seek wealth and prosperity for decades, and now she has to force King Ruyang to try her best to destroy the marriage between Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi.
Emperor Wen was very thorough in "acting his father's position". King Ruyang was ordered to come to Cheng's family to hire him. The scene was so grand that others were envious, but Cheng Shaoshang was still depressed. King Ruyang quietly slipped to the side courtyard. Seeing Cheng Shaoshang hammering the wooden case like venting, he initially wanted to give her a warning, but after some conversation, he changed his mind and decided to preserve this marriage, which was considered to make up for the misfortune of his marriage.
Princess Ruyang learned about this and took his granddaughter to question King Ruyang. In order to marry Ling, Princess Yuchang was willing to serve the two women together. King Ruyang felt it was extremely absurd. He first scolded Princess Ruyang for being greedy, and at the same time felt that Princess Yuchang was willful and willful, and ordered her to find her husband to get married as soon as possible, otherwise Panfa would become a monk.
Ling Buyi carefully observed the surroundings of Xicun and finally found the clues left by Han Wu in one place. The two shorts and two longs mean that he was in peace. It must be that Han Wu found out that he was being hunted down, so after burying the clues, he had already hidden in other places and would come to find Ling Buyi in person.
Now the confusion has been solved. Ling Buyi decided to go back to the city overnight to apologize to the Cheng family. Liang Qiuqi felt that Ling Buyi was too serious. Such murderous aura was not only not like apologizing, but more like going to apology. Ling Buyi obviously listened to it and simply asked the Liang brothers for interesting stories to enhance his good impression in the Cheng family.
Cheng's family was having dinner in the main hall. Cheng Shaoshang still believed that Xiao Yuanyi didn't care about him at all. Xiao Yuanyi, who had a hot temper, was unpredictable and calm. Even Cheng Yin and the Cheng brothers couldn't stand it and took the initiative to say good things to their mother.Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong were whispering behind the younger sister, feeling that Cheng Shaoshang repeatedly provoked Xiao Yuanyi today, because Ling Buyi did not come to the appointment in person, so he decided to wait for Ling Buyi to appear and give him a warning to the other party on behalf of his sister.
As soon as the words fell, a group of black armored guards appeared fiercely. Ling Buyi then walked in and took the initiative to apologize to everyone. Although it was sincere, it seemed to the Cheng family that had a different meaning. The Cheng family was born in Caoze, and the local atmosphere has not yet been removed. Every time they eat, they talk nonsense. As a result, Ling Buyi took the meal together, and the meal was extremely deserted and embarrassed.
Ling Buyi also noticed the delicate atmosphere, so he immediately told the joke to learn first, and even laughed loudly, which made everyone present frightened. After that, Ling Buyi toasted one after another, and the Cheng brothers did not dare to refuse. Until Mrs. Cheng heard the news, she looked at Ling Buyi with a smile, and her heart and eyes were full of love.
Since that day, since the ritual has passed, Ling Buyi is like an ordinary family's future son-in-law. He frequently visited the door and even used the Black Armor Guard, which is famous for protecting the safety of his family. Looking at the six guards in person, another team of more than a dozen people, including the personal guards standing at the door, Cheng Shaoshang was in an extremely complicated mood and couldn't help frowning.
