Translator: Dragon Boat Translation , Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Zeyu followed Su Qing’s finger and saw a young lady in a light blue dress holding a fan and playing with a dish.

The girl was beautiful. She had a delicate round face, big black eyes, and a red toot mouth. She looked playful and cute. When she smiled, her side profile and innocent appearance were a little like Xiao Ying s.

Xiao Zeyu nodded.

“She’s a good match for Daniu. Whose daughter is she?”

Su Qing saw that Xiao Zeyu had also taken a liking to her, so she called the eunuch over and asked him,

“Whose young lady is that?”

“It’s Assistant Minister Wu Di’s daughter, Wu Wanrong.”

When the eunuch saw Su Qing asking, he hurriedly reported. His task was to discover the situation of the young ladies who came today. It had taken him a lot of effort!

“Yes!”

Su Qing nodded.” Tell me about her personality, hobbies, and if she’s engaged.” Investigate everything!”

She had to ensure the young lady was not engaged before she could arrange a marriage for Li Daniu. Even the Emperor could not break up lovebirds.

“Yes.”

The eunuch bowed in agreement and ran off to investigate.

The wives of those officials were incredibly grateful to Su Qing. Because the Empress and her men did not dare to take concubines, their lives were comfortable. These wives wanted to build a good relationship with Su Qing and came to pay their respects to the Empress wave after wave. Su Qing did not bother to put on the airs of an Empress to them.

She was getting increasingly annoyed at being the Empress. How could there be such broken rules in farming?

Very soon, the eunuch came back with a report.

“Reporting to the Empress, Miss Wu is twenty years old. She had a pre-arranged marriage. However, before she could get married, the man was killed by a horse. No one dared to propose marriage again.

This kind of thing was known as a harsh life in ancient times. Noble families were very taboo about this kind of thing. According to them, she could only be a second wife, and it had to be an ordinary family. Good families would not locate such a girl.

Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing looked at each other. They didn’t believe in this, but that didn’t mean that Li Daniu didn’t believe it either. They still had to ask Lt Daniu.

They couldn’t do bad things with good intentions.

They decided to see if there was a more suitable girl. Wu Wanrong was put aside first.

After the garden party, Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu didn’t choose a suitable candidate, which worried them.

“Reporting to the emperor, Li Yanguan has come to pay his respects.” Just as Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu were at their wits’ end, Li Daniu arrived. Time was a good thing. After three years of experience, Li Daniu had matured. His every move carried a sense of calmness, and his gaze was confident and calm.

“Daniu, you’re in luck. The palace holds a Hundred Flower Banquet today, so stay, and let’s eat together!”

Xiao Zeyu was very happy to see Li Daniu. It just so happened that this Hundred Flower Banquet was held to choose a wife for him. He had sent a letter to Li Daniu asking him to come today, but he hadn’t seen him by noon.

He had thought that Li Daniu wouldn’t be able to come!

“This subject thanks the emperor.”

Li Daniu was still being polite. After three years of being an official, he had learned to be respectful and not address Xiao Zeyu by his name like before.

“Why are you so polite?”

Xiao Zeyu was very disappointed. He was getting more and more tired of being the Emperor. It was better to be free and unfettered in the Peach Blossom Cove. Li Daniu raised his head and looked at Xiao Zeyu with a conflicted expression!

In his heart, he also wanted to call him Shuisheng like before. Brothers could talk without any worries. They could put their arms around each other’s shoulders and drink to their hearts’ content.

“Help! Someone fell into the water!”

Just as Li Daniu and Xiao Zeyu talked, they heard someone calling for help. A few girls surrounded the lake and called for help. In the pond, a girl was struggling desperately. It seemed that she had already drunk a few mouthfuls of water. She gradually sank to the bottom of the water. Her long black hair and a fan with a lotus flower floated on the water’s surface.

Li Daniu turned around and jumped into the lake to save her without thinking. A few guards also jumped into the water to save her, but Li Daniu was one step ahead and pulled the girl up to the shore.

Su Qing walked over to save her. When she saw the girl’s face clearly, she was stunned momentarily. Wasn’t this the young lady of the Wu family, Wu

Wanrong?

Was there such a coincidence?

She was just about to introduce Wu Wanrong to Li Daniu when he saved her. In ancient times, it was said that men and women should not be close to each other. Li Daniu was too eager to save people and did not care about this. He carried the girl out of the water. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Wu Wanrong was considered to have lost her innocence. Unless she married the person who saved her, she could forget about marrying anyone else in this lifetime.

Su Qing woke Wu Wanrong up. This girl was also powerful. After waking up, she jumped into the lake without hesitation. There was no need to live if she lost her innocence.

“What are you doing?”

Su Qing grabbed Wu Wanrong’s arm and threw her to the ground.

“I went through so much trouble to save you. Who are you going to face if you want to die?”

“Niangniang, I have no face to continue living.

Wu Wanrong cried until she was in tears. Her clothes were drenched, and the curves of her body could be seen at a glance. She covered her chest with both hands and felt that everyone’s eyes were staring at her. She wished there was a crack in the ground to hide in, and she had no face to continue living.

Su Qing was furious. The ancient people were pedantic. Seeing Wu Wanrong’s drenched body and clothes sticking to her body, Li Daniu might have been too anxious when he saved her and pulled down the girl’s sleeve, revealing a snow-white arm. One could imagine how much psychological pressure Wu Wanrong was under.

She had just asked someone to bring some clothes for Wu Wanrong to put on when she saw Li Daniu take off his coat and cover Wu Wanrong with it. He looked at her guiltily.

Su Qing’s heart skipped a beat. He wanted to see what Li Daniu was going to do. Perhaps he had unintentionally planted a willow tree to make a shade!

Seeing Wu Wanrong crying so desperately, Li Daniu decided to pay for his mistake. He walked over and squatted in front of Wu Wanrong, saying

earnestly,

-If you don’t mind, I will send someone to your house tomorrow to propose marriage.”

“She cursed her husband. My brother died because of her.

Hearing that Li Daniu wanted to marry Wu Wanrong, someone in the crowd could not wait to jump out and slander her. Li Daniu frowned and looked over. He saw a sweet-looking girl. She frowned and glared at Wu Wanrong, sweat-drenched as if she were a vixen. Her eyes were very vicious.

When Wu Wanrong saw her, her face instantly turned ashen. She closed her eyes, and tears gushed out. The word ‘jinx’ was engraved on her and could not be washed away in this lifetime.

Li Daniu felt that this little girl was too unkind. She spoke ill of this drowning girl in front of so many people. When he saw Wu Wanrong’s sad appearance, his heart softened. He said in a harsh tone,

“I’m not afraid. I’m tough.”

“You…”

The girl in the pink dress was the daughter of Imperial Censor Yan. When she saw that Li Daniu wanted to marry Wu Wanrong without hesitation, her face turned red with anger.

She glared at Wu Wanrong resentfully and pointed at her nose as she scolded, “Wu Wanrong, you deliberately fell into the water to seduce men! A good woman will not marry two husbands. If you marry someone, you will be cursed by the world. If I were you, I would hang myself with a piece of white silk an not live in the world.”

Su Qing’s expression changed. Was this girl trying to force Wu Wanrong to her death?

“What a vicious mouth.. Where were you when she fell into the water just now?
