After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

It was almost dusk when Shen Zhinian returned from the palace.

Mrs. Du and Shen Rongyue were waiting anxiously at the door.

Seeing Shen Zhinian's carriage stopped, he immediately went to meet him.

"Master, what happened? What exactly happened?" Shen Zhinian got off the carriage, and before he could stand still, Du asked anxiously.

Shen Zhinian glared at the two of them and waved his hand: "Is this the place to talk? Let's talk in the hall!"

His face showed uncontrollable joy.

When sending the prince back home today, Prince Kang learned that his only son had met with danger outside and almost died.

After he explained the entire process of rescuing people, Prince Kang was excited and full of gratitude and admiration for him and the Shen family.

Upon learning that he was only a sixth-rank Yuanwailang, Prince Kang bluntly stated that for an official like him who was kind-hearted and had high moral character, the sixth rank was too unfair and he should be promoted and given important positions.

He also said that although he had no right to interfere with the Ministry of Personnel's employment, he had the responsibility and obligation to recommend talented people to the court, and he would definitely find an opportunity to recommend Shen Zhinian.

When Shen Zhinian said this, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Hahaha, it looks like my career as an official is about to begin!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Du was also happy: "Great! Since the prince said that he would use me, he must give me a high position!"

"Dad, what about me? Did he mention me?" Shen Rongyue listened over and over, but didn't hear anything about herself from her father's mouth.

"Yes, yes, did you say when you would come to propose marriage?" Mrs. Du also came to her senses.

This is the point.

Even if the master is a high-ranking official, he can't be more honorable than the emperor's father-in-law, right?

Shen Zhinian stopped laughing and frowned slightly: "That, I haven't said it yet... But the prince just returned to the palace. Even if he wanted to propose marriage, he must have discussed it with the prince and princess. How could he talk about proposing marriage right after returning to the palace?"

Mrs. Du nodded.

Right.

Marriage is a big matter, it's up to the parents and the matchmaker, so the whole family should discuss it first.

It would take at least a few days to hire a matchmaker and prepare gifts...

Shen Rongyue also calmed down.

That’s right, in the previous life, Qin Yueze came to propose marriage three or four days after he returned home.

After all, he was the prince of King Kang, so he couldn't just come and ask for marriage casually, so he had to make some preparations. Besides, his body needed time to recover.

Then wait.

None of the three had expected that Qin Yueze would come to the Shen family again the next morning, dragging his still weak body.

The servants reported that Qin Yueze came with a matchmaker and gifts.

Shen Zhinian and Du were immediately surprised and hurried to the door to greet them.

Shen Rongyue was still in bed. When she heard the news, she just put on her clothes and hid behind the screen in the main hall without even bothering to wash up.

Qin Yueze really did what he said, and it happened so quickly! Even faster than when he asked to marry Shen Qingyin in his previous life!

She could hardly contain her excitement and joy.

Saving Qin Yueze, her fate really changed! As long as the marriage is successfully arranged today, she will be the queen mother of the country in the future...

At this most important and crucial moment, she wanted to be there in person, hear it with her own ears, and feel the happiness involved...

Shen Zhinian and Du soon came to the main hall to greet Qin Yueze.

Qin Yueze sat down and said, "I will definitely remember the Shen family's life-saving grace to this prince. I came here today to express my gratitude to this prince and the palace."

"This is a thank you gift!" Qin Yueze ordered the servant to hand over the gift list.

Shen Zhinian hurriedly declined: "Saving people is just a common human nature for the Shen family. I didn't know the identity of the prince and never had the intention of repaying you. Prince, please don't take it to heart. We can't accept this gift! Otherwise, wouldn't our Shen family become the one who repays a favor?"

Mrs. Du was originally preparing to accept the gift list, but when she heard Shen Zhinian say this, she immediately sobered up and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we absolutely cannot accept this thank-you gift!"

Qin Yueze looked at the two of them and said, "This gift is not only for the Shen family, but more importantly for Miss Shen Rongyue. Without her dedication to saving people, there would be no me. This prince is just showing his kindness. If you don't accept it, do you think you look down on my kindness?"

"This...this..." Seeing Qin Yueze say this, Shen Zhinian couldn't refuse anymore.

When Madam Du heard that it was a token of affection for Shen Rongyue, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Master, since it is the prince's token of affection for Yue'er, then accept it."

Shen Zhinian nodded, and Du took the gift list and put it in her sleeve.

He looked up and saw Qin Yueze handing over another gift list.

"Why, there is another gift list?" Seeing the matchmaker right next to her, Mrs. Du asked knowingly.

Qin Yueze smiled and said, "The second reason why I came here today is to propose marriage to the Shen family. This gift list is prepared for this purpose."

Hearing Qin Yueze clearly say that he came to propose marriage, Shen Zhinian and Du Shi couldn't help but look at each other and grinned.

Shen Rongyue, hiding behind the screen, had a flushed face and her heart was beating wildly.

From the moment Qin Yueze entered the door, everything went as smoothly as expected...

Seeing Shen Zhinian and Du's happy faces, the matchmaker who had been standing by said, "The Shen family is a kind family. They saved the life of the young master. The young master heard that the second young lady of the Shen family is kind, gentle and quiet, and he likes her very much. He specially sent me to propose a match. I wonder if the master and the eldest lady of the Shen family are willing..."

The smiles on Shen Zhinian and Du's faces froze instantly, and they were speechless.

Who? Who are you proposing to?

The second young lady of the Shen family?

Could it be that the prince has made a mistake again?

"My Lord, the one you like is Shen Rongyue, the eldest daughter of the Shen family? It was Yue'er who saved you that day..." Mrs. Du confirmed nervously.

Qin Yueze turned his head and looked at the matchmaker meaningfully: "Matchmaker Hua, look at your articulation. You can't even speak clearly. People have misunderstood you, right? Say it again."

The matchmaker responded, "Yes."

He repeated what he had just said.

Shen Zhinian confirmed that he had heard correctly and could not help but stand up and said, "My Lord, you want to marry my second daughter?"

Qin Yueze nodded: "That's right, Master Shen, the one I want to marry as my principal wife is Shen Qingyin, the second young lady of the Shen family."

Qin Yueze's words were clear and understandable, but how could Du and Shen Zhinian accept it?

"But, but you have never seen my second daughter... You have only seen the eldest daughter, Shen Rongyue..." Mrs. Du still felt that Qin Yueze was wrong and tried to remind him.

Qin Yueze looked at the two of them, took a long breath, and said, "Actually, I have met the Second Young Lady... If I remember correctly, Lord Shen was originally the county lieutenant of Yuhu County, south of the capital. I have been there before and met the Second Young Lady once. I have always remembered..."

Seeing Shen Zhinian and Du stunned and speechless after hearing this, Qin Yueze realized how successful his lie was.

As soon as he woke up, he called out Shen Qingyin's name.

I could have lied and said it was a dream before, but the lie I told in such a hurry was obviously a bit absurd.

It is more reasonable to say this now.

"But, but Yin'er has already been betrothed to someone else and cannot marry the prince! Now only Yue'er in the Shen family can marry the prince..." Mrs. Du said again.

Qin Yueze was shocked when he heard this, and stood up suddenly, but due to his weak body, he almost fell down.

With the help of his followers, he was able to steady himself.

"Betrothed to someone? Which family? Ask them to cancel the engagement! This prince does not want to marry anyone else, only Shen Qingyin!"
