Even though Princess Rui tried her best to conceal it, Madam Lin still keenly noticed that ever since she saw the jade pendant of Miss Shen, her attention has been vaguely on Ning'er, and she even forgot to act like a princess and mother-in-law.

This matter is very strange.

Mrs. Lin knew very well the origin of Miss Shen. She and Zhan'er met at a banquet held in the Mansion of Duke Dingguo. Although they were several years apart in age, the two girls got along very well.

My daughter once told me that although her surname was Shen, she was just a cousin who lived in the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion. She was originally from Jiangdu and her family was not prominent.

How could a lady like this carry something that would attract Princess Rui's frequent glances?

Her gaze paused, and when she looked at it in detail, she was wearing such exquisite clothes that even her own pampered eldest daughter could not compare to them. Could it be that it was because the Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion was extravagant, and that this girl herself had another background?

Each side had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere in the room became cold.

Ning Er was just feeling that the situation was a little awkward when she saw a maid in colorful clothes bowing and saying with a smile on her face, "Princess, the two young masters are here."

With just one sentence, smiles appeared on the faces of the ladies. Lin Ruozhan looked at his mother for help.

Mrs. Lin reacted and said with a smile: "Princess, do you think we should let the two girls get out of the way first?"

If Lin Ruozhen was the only one here, it wouldn't be considered rude to meet Chu Yue. But there was another young lady from another family here, so it would be inappropriate to meet them rashly.

The princess thought for a moment and said, "If we go out now, we may cause trouble. Anyway, let's clean up the room inside and ask the two ladies to move in and take a seat."

Lin Ruozhen and Ning'er both stood up and bowed, thanking the princess, and then a maid served them into the inner room. The rosewood partition was carved with passionflower patterns, and several layers of apricot gauze hung from the upper threshold, instantly blurring people's vision.

There was a low couch inside with several futons on it. As soon as Ning'er sat down, she heard two young voices laughing outside: "Son greets mother."

Seeing her two sons full of vigor and vitality, Princess Rui couldn't hide her smile. She waved her hand lightly and signaled the maids on both sides: "Okay, okay, help them up quickly. Haven't you met the old lady and madam of the Lin family yet?"

Chu Zheng and Chu Yue hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Junior greets the old lady, greets the madam."

Lin Ruozhan couldn't help but glance outside, but through the layers of gauze, he could only see two vague outlines. Both of them were very tall, one of them was stronger, and the other was a little thinner.

She complained to Ning'er in a low voice: "I can hardly see her face, how can I know if she is satisfied or not?"

Ning Er suppressed her laughter and said softly, "Your mother and grandmother can see it clearly."

Madam Lin's voice was full of smiles. It was obvious that she was very satisfied with the child. "Get up quickly. No need to be polite. What handsome young men you have. They are indeed the princes and grandchildren of the emperor. They have such a noble demeanor and character that even ordinary families, no matter how rich they are, cannot raise them."

Mrs. Lin also smiled and said, "It is indeed a beautiful and graceful woman. Seeing is believing."

The person was right in front of him, but he couldn't see clearly. Lin Ruozhan felt like a cat was scratching his heart and was extremely curious.

Seeing her like this, Ning Er leaned over to whisper in her ear and smiled, "If I had known that Sister wanted to see you so much, I would have come in alone. I am sorry to have ruined Sister's good fortune."

Lin Ruozhen whispered in her ear: "Bad Ning'er, don't make fun of me. It's not you who said that we should meet anyway. Even if I die, I should be a clear-headed ghost."

Ning Er chuckled and said, "You can't see him, and he can't see you either, isn't that even?"

Lin Ruozhen rolled his eyes: "Based on what we just heard, I'm afraid he is even more aggrieved and doesn't want to come at all."

Ning'er quickly reached out to cover her mouth: "My dear sister, don't dare to say such nonsense here."

Outside, several ladies were talking to the two princes in a lively manner. Chu Zheng was calm and composed, and spoke very appropriately, while Chu Yue was sunny and humorous, with a face that elders liked the most, and was very good at socializing. After a few words, Mrs. Lin was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Lin Ruozhen's dark eyes flashed with a cunning look. She stretched out her hand to call Songluo over and whispered, "Go and guard the partition. Later, when I tell you, quietly pull up a corner of the gauze curtain from the edge and put it down after counting to three breaths. Remember?"

Songluo was so nervous that her tongue got tied. She stammered, "Miss, this is against the rules."

Lin Ruozhen said "Hush", "It's okay, listen to me, my mother and the others are talking with their backs to us, as long as you move quietly, no one will notice. Go quickly."

Ning Er also felt that this method was a bit risky. She advised softly, "Sister, if the princess sees this, it will be difficult to deal with."

Lin Ruozhen whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, the princess only has eyes for the prince now, and won't pay attention to this side. Besides, I won't be willing to not take a look."

She is stubborn by nature, and when she gets stubborn, no one can stop her.

Ning'er had no choice but to look outside the veil and quietly moved to a deeper position to ensure that even if the veil was lifted, people outside would not be able to see her at first glance.

Songluo walked over, looking back every few steps, and stood trembling with fear with her back to the partition. She only dared to hook a corner of the gauze with her little finger, not even daring to blink, for fear of missing the hint from her young lady.

Through the hazy veil, Lin Ruozhan tried hard to distinguish the movements of the people outside. Chu Yue said something that made everyone laugh with their hands covering their lips. There was laughter and joy outside.

It's now!

She quickly winked at Songluo, who held his breath and concentrated, then gently tore a hole in the gauze curtain.

Lin Ruozhen didn't care about anything else and hurriedly looked out through the gap, but at this moment, the man who was originally sitting diagonally opposite the room suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly in Lin Ruozhen's direction.

The three breaths of time passed in a flash. At the moment when Songluo loosened her hand, Lin Ruozhan and the man met each other's eyes through the slowly falling gauze curtain. At that moment, she could even clearly see the astonishment reflected in his pupils.

With just one glance, her entire mind and spirit left her body and she suddenly flew away!

Ning'er saw Lin Ruzhan suddenly cover his lips with his hands and scream silently: "It's him!"

She seemed to have lost her soul. She subconsciously stood up and walked out. Ning Er quickly grabbed her and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Ruozhen tightly grasped Ning'er's shoulders and shook them vigorously a few times. Her face looked like she was crying and laughing, and she murmured, "It's him! It's him!"

She hugged Ning'er excitedly and kept repeating in her ear: "It's him, it's him!"

Ning'er suddenly came back to her senses... She opened her mouth in disbelief: "No way?" There is such an incredible marriage in the world?

She quickly leaned close to her ear and asked, "Could it be that he is the... young hero from Jiangdu..."

"Yeah!" Lin Ruozhen couldn't even wait for her to finish, and nodded vigorously: "It can't be wrong! I recognized him at first sight, and he recognized me too!"
