That night, they drank and played the piano on the Luo River, enjoying the breeze and gazing at the bright moon, and did not return home until very late.

For Wang Shishi, this was a wonderful night. Her relationship with Brother Su An had made a big progress, and it was just a matter of time before she could win Brother Su An's heart.

For a lady like Zhou Qingyu, getting drunk in front of the opposite sex is very rude.

However, she and Su An became much more familiar with each other after this night. When she was in the same room with Su An, she could naturally chat with him about poetry and discuss knowledge of Taoism.

However, after hearing about this, Guo Pu came to tell Zhou Qingyu that Su An and Wang Shishi had ulterior motives, especially the fact that she drank alcohol.

In Guo Pu's eyes, his junior sister was the kind of obedient girl who didn't know how to refuse others. She got drunk in front of Su An, a stranger of the opposite sex. It must be that Wang Shishi or Su An maliciously forced her to drink.

He saw this and was worried, and every day he would try to persuade Zhou Qingyu earnestly.

Zhou Qingyu was quite helpless about this. Although her relationship with Su An was much better now, her admiration for Su An was limited to that between opposite sexes. She admired his talent in poetry and his concentration and meticulousness in studying the art.

As for what Guo Pu said about Su An and Wang Shishi having ulterior motives, she didn't think so.

Su An is an upright man, at least he won't secretly look at her like Guo Pu did.

Moreover, Guo Pu had no idea how deep her relationship with Wang Shishi was. She would never hurt him. He would never compete with her for a man. Her connection with Su An was entirely based on Wang Shishi, the middleman.

So, brother, you are worrying about nothing.

Guo Pu walked out of Zhou Qingyu's courtyard somewhat discouraged. His junior sister went to the Shenwei Marquis Mansion every day, and he didn't know what kind of magic potion Su An had given her.

It’s all the Second Prince’s fault. Last time, he prepared some low-quality poems. If the Second Prince had prepared some famous works for him, he would definitely shine in the literary gathering.

The junior sister would not go to Su An like she does now, but would come to him every day to ask for advice on poetry, and he would be able to easily win the junior sister's heart.

No, he had to do something, otherwise his junior sister would fall into Su An's arms.

Guo Pu was secretly furious.

……

Shenweihou Mansion.

Lobby.

Su An sat in the main seat, looking at the uninvited guest below.

He was a tall and thin young man dressed in black. He was not handsome, but had a fierce temperament.

General Wei’s son, Deng Yao, was a core member of the Second Prince’s camp and his good friend in his previous life.

It’s just that this good friend is the same as the Crown Prince and the Princess of Runan.

After the Marquis' Mansion lost its power, it immediately showed its fangs. Only then did Su An know that General Wei and Marquis Shenwei had a grudge in the past, but General Wei did not dare to pursue it when Marquis Shenwei was still in power.

Deng Yao looked at the young man in white sitting at the top, who had an extraordinary bearing and natural elegance, and sighed in his heart.

Just over a month ago, Su An was just a good-for-nothing prince who was addicted to fun and obsessed with Sima Yue's beauty.

He catered to the prince's preferences, took him on sensual pleasures and established a good relationship with him, all in an effort to bring the future Marquis of Shenwei into the second prince's camp.

But as the news of Su An and Sima Yue's marriage spread, his efforts were wasted. Fortunately, he divorced his wife before Su An officially joined the prince's side.

This news made the people in the prince's camp very angry, especially the queen, who left the palace overnight and went to the Runan Palace to question the princess.

On the contrary, when the people on the Second Prince's side found out, they were extremely surprised.

After several days of discussion, they came forward with what they thought was good sincerity, and Deng Yao came forward to formally visit Su An.

"Prince, what do you think of the conditions I proposed?" Deng Yao said.

"Nine natural treasures, numerous precious elixirs, countless gold and silver treasures, and ten complete corpses of great demons in the middle third realm. Your Highness is really willing to spend so much money to marry my sister." Su smiled darkly.

"Miss Su is a woman of great beauty and grace. The Second Prince admires her very much. Miss Su deserves all this."

"When the Second Prince ascends the throne in the future, Miss Su will be the queen."

"The Second Prince also promised that he would never take a concubine before he ascended the throne. The child he and Miss Su have will definitely be the eldest son and the future crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"By then, Marquis Shenwei will be the top military officer of Dajin, Miss Su will be the queen of Dajin, and your nephew will be the crown prince of Dajin. The Su family will become the most distinguished family in Dajin besides the royal family."

Deng Yao passionately described a grand future to Su An.

What a generous move, Su An sighed in his heart.

In his previous life, he stood firmly on the side of the Crown Prince. The Second Prince saw no hope of winning him over, so he did not come to the Marquis's Mansion to propose marriage.

As soon as he divorced his wife in this life, the second prince prepared a generous dowry to marry Su Wan.

Su Wan sat aside, listening to the conditions proposed by Deng Yao, her pretty face showing no emotion.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I am afraid that my weak appearance is not worthy of your great talent and wisdom." Su An said.

"Is this the prince's intention, or the marquis's intention?" Deng Yao suddenly said.

"My father once told me that my sister has some talent in swordsmanship, but it is not appropriate for her to get married before she has achieved success in cultivation." Su An said indifferently, picking up the tea and taking a sip.

Deng Yao left the Marquis' Mansion with a gloomy expression.

After seeing Deng Yao off, Su An wanted to go back to the study, but saw Su Wan standing at the door of the lobby in a daze.

"Bad mood?"

"Ah."

"Tell me about it."

"The Crown Prince asked me to marry him last time, and the Second Prince also asked Deng Yao to propose marriage today."

Su Wan said sullenly.

She has never had any romantic feelings. Getting married is too far away for her and she doesn't want to be tied to a man.

Moreover, both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had bad reputations. Even if she wanted to marry, she didn't want to marry such a man.

However, the future destiny of women from powerful families is to marry the person designated by their elders for the benefit of the family, and they have no choice.

Perhaps it is the same for her. Her father will choose the one he likes between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince and marry her to him.

Her fate might be death in the fight for the throne, but more likely she would compete with other women for the position of queen in the deep palace.

This kind of life is not what she wants.

Su An saw through her thoughts and remained silent for a moment.

"Wan'er, as long as I am in the Marquis' Mansion, you can marry whoever you want. No one can force you."

"Including my father."

Su An added.

He looked towards the south, as if trying to see through the distant distance the man whom he had never been able to figure out in his past and present lives.

"Yeah." Su Wan's face brightened a little.

Compared with other wealthy families, the Shenwei Marquisate is much simpler. There are no descendants fighting for titles and property, and no women fighting for power in the harem.

The future title and family business will be inherited by Su An, and she will just get married off, it's that simple.

At least for now, Su An is willing to protect her. Even if her father wants to marry her to the crown prince or the second prince for profit, he still has to consider the opinion of Su An, his only son.
