Shen Rongyue showed a smug look on her face: "Now, if he doesn't marry me, he will be regarded as a ruthless villain in the eyes of everyone! Let me ask you, if a villain in everyone's eyes wants to be the crown prince, is it wishful thinking?"

"He should know what is more important without having to weigh it. Even if he is confused for a while because of Shen Qingyin, Prince Kang won't be stupid, right? Humph, if Prince Kang wants to become the crown prince smoothly, the best thing to do is to marry me obediently!"

"As for what will happen after he becomes the emperor - we have to continue to spread rumors outside, not only to let the people of the capital know, but also to let the people of the world know! In this way, if he wants to touch me or the Shen family in the future, it will be even more impossible, because the whole world is watching! Does he want to be an ungrateful emperor who repays kindness with enmity in the eyes of the people of the world?"

Shen Rongyue became more and more proud as he spoke, and felt like he was in control of the situation.

Mrs. Du's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she felt that her daughter was glowing.

Shen Zhinian also nodded frequently.

In fact, when it comes down to it, isn't it just four words: repaying a favor?

Forget it, just repay the favor if you want to!

He was originally just an eighth-rank county lieutenant. After years of hard work, a pie in the sky fell on his head and he was transferred to the capital to fill the vacancy of the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Works.

With his humble status, he could gain the favor of a future emperor. Later, his daughter could become the empress and he could become the father-in-law of the emperor. It was worth it no matter how you looked at it!

Shen Zhinian immediately ordered Du: "Don't be afraid of spending money, send more people, not only in the capital, but also in the counties around the capital."

Mrs. Du responded crisply, "Don't worry, Master. I know what to do."

Bixiyuan.

Shen Qingyin was sipping tea leisurely, listening to the news that Fan'er had heard from outside.

"Second Miss, the Shen family has made efforts themselves, and with the help of Pei Zhiyuan's brother and sister who have helped us in secret, many people in the taverns and teahouses are now discussing this matter. I think if Prince Kang doesn't marry the eldest lady quickly, he will be scolded to death!" Fan'er said.

Shen Qingyin nodded: "Yes, that's the best. This time, it's all thanks to Pei Zhiyuan and his sister. If they have any difficulties, I will help them if I can."

"Yes, I understand. But there is still something I don't understand... Second Miss, why did you help the eldest lady to marry into Prince Kang's Mansion? The eldest lady and her daughter have never had good intentions towards you!" Fen'er was a little angry.

Shen Qingyin smiled.

She used to think that Mrs. Du was her biological mother, so she felt aggrieved.

But since he learned that he was not Du's biological child, but the daughter of a concubine, he felt much calmer.

From now on, if the Du mother and daughter no longer take the initiative to harm me, then they can keep to themselves and live in peace.

The reason for helping is, first of all, because of the blood relationship between my grandmother and my father.

The second reason, of course, was to get rid of Qin Yueze as soon as possible.

General's Mansion.

"Madam, I have already followed your instructions and secretly asked people to help Miss Yin spread the news in the city." said Madam Zhou.

Although she was temporarily left in Bixiyuan by the Madam Dowager, the Prince Kang came to cause trouble, which was a serious matter, so she had to inform the Madam Dowager about it.

Madam Mu nodded and said, "Well, you just need to arrange people to help Miss Yin do whatever she wants. Also, tell the newly added personnel around Bixiyuan to keep a close eye on them. Don't let the Prince Kang get close to Bixiyuan!"

Originally, when she heard that Prince Kang was harassing Shen Qingyin, she was a little worried.

She was about to marry her grandson's wife, but someone else wanted to steal her away? Did they think that she was dead?

She wanted to go straight to Prince Kang’s mansion and ask Prince Kang to give her an explanation.

But on second thought, Yin Yin had already stated publicly that she did not recognize the Prince of Kang.

If she really went to ask for an explanation, people who didn't know the truth would speculate whether Yin Yin really had something going on with the Prince of Kang...

After weighing the pros and cons, she instructed Nanny Zhou to secretly send more people around Bixiyuan.

These people accidentally discovered that Yin Yin had asked people to spread the news about Qin Yueze and Shen Rongyue outside.

The lady immediately understood Yin Yin's intention.

This is a good rumor!

Yinyin is so smart! Isn't this rumor just an invisible rope? It can easily bind the prince of Kangwang...

Without saying a word, the lady ordered Madam Zhou to send someone to help Yin Yin spread the news.

Two days have passed, and the news has spread all over the capital...

Shen family.

Shen Rongyue, Mrs. Du and Shen Zhinian were all delighted after hearing Mother Zhang's report.

"I never expected that the news would spread faster than a rabbit! The money was really well spent." Mrs. Du exclaimed with a smile on her face.

She originally asked Mother Zhang to hire two storytellers, but now dozens of storytellers in the city are spreading the news!

There are also those teahouses and taverns. The capital is so big, and there are so many teahouses and taverns. Originally, only one in ten of them went to spread the news, but now, eight or nine out of ten are discussing this matter!

Shen Rongyue smiled and said, "Mother, judging from the current situation, the prince won't be able to hold on for a few more days, and he will definitely come to propose marriage."

Shen Zhinian stroked his short beard and nodded: "Well, I think the prince can't sit still anymore."

The actual situation Qin Yueze arrived faster than they expected.

Not long after they finished talking, Qin Yueze arrived.

This time he came according to etiquette and did not rush into the Shen family.

I heard the gatekeeper say that the prince brought a matchmaker with him again this time.

Several people were very excited.

"Mom, I'd better step away for now!" Shen Rongyue said.

Mrs. Du nodded: "Well, a girl should be more reserved."

Shen Rongyue said she was avoiding him, but she was unwilling to go far and just hid behind the screen.

This time, Qin Yueze was definitely here to ask to marry me, there was no doubt about it.

She still wanted to hear it with her own ears...

Shen Zhinian and Du Shi did not go to the main gate to greet Qin Yueze this time, but just waited at the door of the main hall.

Qin Yueze's visit today was indeed different from the last time, with a hint of smile on his face.

However, when they met, they only exchanged brief greetings without saying a word.

The first person to speak was a matchmaker who followed Qin Yueze. The matchmaker was very unfamiliar, and she said as soon as she came up: "Congratulations to the Shen family, congratulations to the Shen family!"

"I'm sure Mr. Shen and Madam Shen also know that the story of the prince and your eldest daughter saving the hero has spread to everyone. Alas, almost all the people in the city are looking forward to the marriage between the two families!"

"The prince is a man who knows how to repay kindness. He comes today specifically to meet Miss Shen Rongyue, the eldest daughter of the Shen family." The matchmaker smiled with her eyes curved.

Shen Zhinian and Du Shi couldn't contain their joy.

This time they heard it clearly. The matchmaker kept talking about the eldest daughter, and there was no doubt about it.

Shen Rongyue behind the screen also blushed with excitement. It finally worked.

But the matchmaker continued, "Miss Shen Rongyue is a person of high character and virtue, known to everyone. The prince likes her very much and is willing to take her as a concubine. I wonder if Lord Shen and Madam Shen are willing to do so?"
