A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Shen Yue is dignified, gentle, yet stubborn.

Zhang Pan first glanced at Su Qingyu, and knew that this was Shen Yue’s bottom line.

He looked at Shen Yue again and asked in a calm voice, "Are you and Li Yunzhou engaged?"

Shen Yue was startled, then shook her head, "Not yet..."

She wanted to say that they hadn't officially engaged yet, but the two families had privately agreed on it.

But as soon as she said two words, Zhang Pan spoke anxiously and angrily.

"He didn't even propose marriage?"

"Sister Shen Yue, don't be afraid, I will go and propose marriage."

"I don't care about reputation or anything like that. I don't care what happened between you and Li Yunzhou in the past. And my grandmother, I've thought it through. If she treats you badly, I'll persuade her more. If she punishes you, I'll take it. If she asks you to set the rules, I'll set the rules on the side."

Zhang Pan spoke quickly and hurriedly, fearing that Shen Yue would not listen, so he blurted out everything at once.

Shen Yue naturally didn't want him to say anything more, so she quickly interrupted him.

"Marquis Xuanwu has misunderstood. Although Brother Yunzhou and I have not officially agreed to be married, the marriage has been decided. It was decided in person by the elders of both families. When he returns from Northern Xinjiang, we will get married."

Shen Yue spoke gently, but her tone was resolute.

"Is Marquis Xuanwu here to pick up the old lady? She should be coming out soon. The old lady was just thankful that the Zhang and Shen families broke off the engagement. Marquis Xuanwu should find a good wife and live a good life."

"Also, Brother Yunzhou and I love each other. I married him not out of helplessness, but with joy."

It's not that Shen Yue is cruel, but she wants to stop Zhang Pan. The more ruthless she is at this moment, the better it will be for Zhang Pan.

Being fussy and ambiguous will only hurt everyone in the end.

Su Qingyu looked at Zhang Pan helplessly, feeling a little sympathy in her heart.

From the old lady's perspective, the Zhang family only has this one child. It is normal not to allow him to go to the battlefield and to protect him more closely.

From Zhang Pan's perspective, his grandmother is his only relative. On one hand, there is the girl he wants to marry, and on the other hand, there is filial piety, which is a dilemma.

From Shen Yue's perspective, even if Li Yunzhou didn't exist, Zhang Pan wouldn't be her ideal man. Such a family deserves respect, but it's not worth marrying into.

So it’s just a difference in standpoints, and it’s hard to say who is wrong.

The one who suffered the most, of course, was Zhang Pan.

Zhang Pan stood in a daze under the palace lantern. Shen Yue's words were like a lingchi knife, cutting off his last bit of hope.

He suddenly said in a low voice: "Sister Shen Yue is really tolerant towards Li Yunzhou. She is willing to wait for him."

Shen Yue slowed down her tone, "Marquis Xuanwu should know that he is currently in the northern border dealing with the Tartars. He is fighting for his country and protecting the people, so why can't I wait?"

"I believe I can wait until he returns victorious. Even if something unexpected happens, I will stay with him forever."

Zhang Pan suddenly remembered that day at the Shen family, when Shen Yue said: "You are the Xuanwu Marquis, but you are almost twenty years old and still hiding under the wings of the old lady. Even if you can't go to the battlefield to make achievements like the ancestors of the Zhang family, please be a decent man and don't disgrace the Zhang family's character."

He often thought of this sentence during this period.

In recent years, he really hasn't lived like a man.

Shen Yue didn't know what Zhang Pan was thinking, she just found that he seemed to come alive suddenly.

The expression that was previously dull now became more vivid.

Zhang Pan bowed gracefully to Shen Yue, and then said, "Sister Shen Yue, when you get married, I will definitely come to ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Shen Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "My Lord, I couldn't ask for more."

Just at this moment the old lady of the Zhang family came out. Her grandson had promised to pick her up, so she looked for him everywhere after leaving the hall.

When I turned around, I saw Zhang Pan and Shen Yue talking, and he bowed to Shen Yue.

The old lady was immediately furious. How could a man from her Zhang family bow to a woman?

"Zhang Pan, what are you doing?"

"Did she say something to you again? I tell you, such a person must not enter the Zhang family's gate."

If it were in the past, Zhang Pan would definitely trot up to the old lady and coax her a few more words.

But today Zhang Pan apologized to Shen Yue and Su Qingyu first, "My grandmother is old and a little confused. Third Madam and Sister Shen Yue, please don't be offended. You can leave the palace. It's windy today, so be careful on the road."

Seeing Su Qingyu and Shen Yue were about to leave, Old Lady Zhang asked Su Qingyu again, "I haven't settled the score with you yet, what did you scold me for just now?"

At the palace banquet, she kept thinking hard. She even tried to recall the shape of Su Qingyu's mouth when she spoke, but to no avail. She asked everyone around her, but nothing came out.

The more she didn't ask, the more she felt that Su Qingyu had said something unpleasant. She planned to find out the truth and go to the Shen family to settle the score. She wanted to ask the old lady of the Shen family how she disciplined her daughter-in-law.

When she was young, Old Lady Zhang had a rather strong temper, but at least she was reasonable at that time. But after the entire Zhang family died in the war, leaving only a young grandson, her temper became increasingly strange and difficult to get along with. Even the servants who served her had to be replaced twice a year.

She is mean and unreasonable to everyone and treats them indiscriminately.

Su Qingyu said to Zhang Pan apologetically, "Before the palace banquet, the old lady said some unpleasant things to Shen Yue. I was so angry that I deliberately didn't say anything to refute her. The old lady thought that I said something unpleasant, and others didn't dare to tell her. You go back and explain it to me. I was impulsive today."

She told Zhang Pan the truth clearly and told him that she did it on purpose to vent Shen Yue's anger.

As long as Zhang Pan goes back and asks about this matter, he will know everything clearly. It is better to be frank and make it clear.

Zhang Pan knew his grandmother's personality and could guess what she would say about Shen Yue. So he looked even more apologetic, "Third Madam, that's not right. It's my Zhang family that should apologize. You guys go back, I'll explain to my grandmother."

After watching Su Qingyu and Shen Yue leave, Zhang Pan went to Old Lady Zhang again.

He said to her, "Grandma, I just wanted to talk to Sister Shen Yue, but she didn't want to come into our house. Grandma, don't say that in the future. It makes you seem unreasonable and taking advantage of your age."

After saying that, he didn't care whether the old lady was willing to go or not. He supported her and walked outside.

To say that he was helping was actually the same as dragging him away.

When the old lady heard Zhang Pan's words, she thought her grandson was really crazy. He actually embarrassed her in public for the sake of the girl from the Shen family.

What she didn't know was that Zhang Pan had been deep in thought all the way. His eyes became more and more determined, as if he had made a decision.

When Su Qingyu returned from the palace, it was already the beginning of the Xu hour.

Shen Zhizheng was waiting for her. When he saw her come back, he asked someone to bring the food.

This kind of palace banquet was never enough to fill her up, so he ordered people to prepare food in advance, fearing that she would be hungry.

Su Qingyu sat down at the dinner table, thinking about how to tell Shen Zhixiu that she wanted to thoroughly investigate Mr. Zhou's affairs.
