After hearing Mo Qi's question, Deng Ziyun couldn't help crying with grievance and sadness, and choked up and said: "Master Mo, actually, I have always liked someone in my heart..."

Mo Qi asked quietly, "Isn't he the second prince?"

Deng Ziyun shook her head and said helplessly, "My mother forced me to go that day. I didn't really want to go! I had no interest in being a Crown Princess, but I had to go... Fortunately, the Imperial Concubine didn't fancy me in the end, so I was lucky enough to escape! The last time you saw me in the palace, I had just come out in a mess..."

Mo Qi said calmly: "So you met Cao Xiaozheng today, are you here to have a blind date with him?"

Deng Ziyun said angrily: "Someone proposed to my parents, saying that the other party's family background is very prominent and fell in love with me at first sight, so my parents asked me to come here to meet him. Who knew it was the guy who harassed me at Foguang Temple last time! Fortunately, you showed up later, otherwise I would not be able to get away today. Thank you, Master Mo!"

"Miss Deng, you're welcome! I had an appointment to meet someone, but that person didn't come because of something unexpected, so I planned to go back, but I didn't expect to meet you by chance."

"I'm sorry to bother you!" Deng Ziyun frowned and looked at him, "I don't know if that guy will keep pestering me in the future..."

"Ms. Deng, you don't have to worry about this. I have my own way to deal with it! Just now you said that you like someone, so why did you come to a blind date today?"

When mentioning this, Deng Ziyun couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "Not long ago, I fell in love with Mr. Jiang's personal guard at a banquet, so I asked my cousin to discuss with Mr. Jiang to let the guard take me home. After that, we got to know each other. Mr. Jiang was also very generous and sent the guard to protect me. Who knew that when I went to burn incense, I met that rogue Cao Xiaozheng..."

Mo Qi interrupted her and said, "Wait! You said Mr. Jiang lent you his guards?"

Deng Ziyun nodded and said, "Yes! When I went to the Jiang residence to look for Brother Zhao that day, Mr. Jiang was also at home. Seeing that I liked Brother Zhao very much, he agreed to lend him to me for a day, and later sent him to be my temporary bodyguard."

Mo Qi was very confused after hearing this and tilted his head slightly, thinking about something.

Deng Ziyun saw this and asked in confusion, "Master Mo, is there something wrong?"

Mo Qi said hurriedly: "Oh, it's okay, just continue talking!"

Deng Ziyun lowered her head and was silent for a moment before continuing, "My parents didn't agree with me being with him, so they locked me up. In the middle of the night, I set fire to the room in order to escape, but in the end, not only did I fail to escape, but I caused Brother Zhao to be seriously injured in order to save me, so he had to return to the Jiang residence."

Mo Qi said calmly: "You wanted to convince him to marry you, but he still didn't agree, so you went out on a blind date out of disappointment, right?"

Deng Ziyun said sadly: "Well, how did you know?"

Mo Qi stared at her and said, "Miss Deng, what do you like about this Guard Zhao?"

Deng Ziyun was a little surprised and asked, "Master Mo, why do you ask that?"

Mo Qi smiled and said, "Did Mr. Jiang also ask this question?"

Deng Ziyun said honestly: "Yes."

Mo Qi lifted the car curtain and looked outside, and found that he had arrived at Deng's house.

He turned to look at Deng Ziyun and said, "Miss Deng, let me say something to you before we part... Although you like that guard Zhao very much, you can't force love. You don't have to be too discouraged. Sooner or later you will meet the marriage that truly belongs to you!"

Deng Ziyun opened her mouth and wanted to say something but swallowed it back. Finally, she turned around and got out of the car with tears in her eyes.

……

Inside the Deng residence, when Mr. Deng heard his daughter talk about today’s blind date, he couldn’t help but fly into a rage!

He slammed the table and said, "What's wrong with Mrs. Zhan? I let Ah Zi go to Cuihualou because she is an official matchmaker and has a good reputation. I didn't expect that she would dare to introduce such a scum to you! What does she think of our family? I will ask your uncle to ask her what her intentions are!"

Madam Deng hurriedly advised, "These are all minor matters. The more troublesome problems are still to come! Since Mr. Cao is determined to get Ah Zi, he will definitely not give up after returning. What if he relies on his wealth and power to forcefully marry our Ah Zi?"

Master Deng got even angrier when he heard this. "If that's the case, at worst we can let Guard Zhao be a live-in son-in-law and let him marry A Zi! This is better than pushing A Zi into the fire pit!"

Mrs. Deng smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think they will be willing to marry you if you ask them to? The Zhao family is also a wealthy family with some foundation. Although they are not as poor as us, they are not poor at all. Would they be willing to marry into your family and become your son-in-law? Even if you ask them to come, they may not be willing."

Ah Zi said indifferently, "Dad, Mom, don't worry about it. At worst, I will just stay single for life! I will never let that scoundrel succeed."

Master Deng sighed and said, "I'm afraid the Zhenguo Mansion won't let it go! If they really ask Concubine Cao to be Baoshan, then this marriage will be hard to refuse!"

……

It turned out to be just as Mr. Deng had expected.

After Cao Xiaozheng failed in his attempt to force a marriage at Cuihua Tower, he immediately entered the palace in a rage, came to Concubine Cao, knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Aunt, please make the decision for me! I have fallen in love with Miss Deng Ziyun from the Deng family and want to marry her. I hope you will agree to my wish!"

After hearing this, Concubine Cao was very puzzled and thought: What kind of charm does this little girl from the Deng family have that can make her son and nephew fall in love with her at the same time? Each of them must marry her...

Concubine Cao frowned and said, "Xiao Zheng, have you discussed this with your family?"

Cao Xiaozheng was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice with a guilty conscience: "Aunt, as long as you are willing to help mediate with my father and grandfather, I believe they will definitely agree to this marriage..."

"Nonsense!" Imperial Concubine Cao scolded, "You are as ignorant as your cousin! As a relative of the emperor and a descendant of nobles, how can your marriage be decided casually?"

"Aunt, although the Deng family doesn't have any official position, they are rich! If I can marry her, wouldn't it be a powerful combination of wealth and beauty?"

"No!" Concubine Cao refused, "The Deng family is just an ordinary wealthy family, far inferior to ours! There are many daughters of noble families in the court, I will select a few for you to choose from, as for the daughter of the Deng family, forget it!"

Cao Xiaozheng blinked his eyes and said, "Aunt, are those rich girls as pretty as Miss Deng? If she is ugly, I won't agree!"
