On the second day, Shen Huanzhi made his way back to Yu Hang, the old lady received the letter early in the morning, and anxiously went to Xie Jingxi's courtyard.

"Jingwan, girl?" When the old lady saw that Xie Jingxi was still busy fiddling with her flowers, she anxiously asked, "Why are you still messing with the flowers? Do you know when Huanzhi left? You …"

"Grandmother, I know that Huanzhi has left. You still haven't eaten early in the morning, Ming Yu, go and prepare Grandmother some breakfast."

"Why would I eat breakfast? Girl, didn't you go out with Huanzhi yesterday? You guys … Why did he just leave? "

"It's the new year soon. If he doesn't go back, would he still be in the capital? He still has business to attend to, so naturally, he'll go back after that. If you want to say that I didn't send him off, I would have sent him off yesterday."

The old lady was so anxious that she felt like she was about to fall ill. "I've really made all of you anxious to death, you silly girl!"

"Grandmother, will you listen to me?" Xie Jingxi helped the old lady to sit down, "I know what you mean, I've always treated Huanzhi as my big brother and have never had any other thoughts. I also can't force myself to come to this kind of thing, so don't be anxious, what should come will eventually come."

"Yes, they will come. Then we'll have to see what they look like. You and Huanzhi, how compatible are you? Why aren't you enlightened?"

The old lady could not help but sigh. There was a supervisor reporting in, but it was Xie Cen who called Third Miss to the study room in the front courtyard.

Grandmother, father called for me. I'll be back soon.

Xie Jingxi followed the manager to the front yard. Today was a good day, it was rare for Master Xie to be at home, but she was still busy working.

"Father, you called me."

"It's Jingwan. Come in."

Xie Cen was holding a book from afar and reading it carefully. Although he was in his prime, because he was busy with work, he did not have a good eye out, so when he saw Xie Jingxi enter, he decided to put down the paper, and rubbed between his eyebrows for a bit of rest.

No matter if it was his previous life or the present, he had always worked hard for the future of Xie Family. Although he treated Xie Jingxi coldly, he couldn't leave her because of her. Everything that Xie Jingxi had was given to him by him, so speaking from this point of view, whatever he asked of her wasn't excessive at all.

But that was all. After she lost her value in her husband's family, they abandoned her no matter what. So in the end, there was nothing to worry about. After they raised her and abandoned her, they didn't have any deep feelings for her, so they didn't have too deep of a disappointment.

"A few days ago, regarding your marriage, I presume you also know about it."

Xie Cen went straight to the point, Xie Jingxi nodded her head, and Xie Cen continued: "I always thought you were a sensible child, so I have some things that you should understand."

"Your father worked hard for the family. Your daughter understands."

"Yes." "Of the few girls in the family, you are the most sensible. You have never grown up in front of us, so your mother and I owe you a lot.

Xie Cen began to play his emotions card again. Xie Jingxi lowered her head and listened, but did not say anything.

"When you entered the palace that day, did you meet the crown prince?"

Xie Jingxi waited for a long time, and finally got to the main topic, "Yes, my daughter met Third Mother, so she only bowed from afar, and did not speak."

Xie Cen squinted his eyes at her, as if he was confirming some truth from her words, "You also saw the person called Crown Prince, so you definitely wouldn't let him go if he took a fancy to you. Although he is currently imprisoned by the Emperor, he will come out sooner or later.

"It is up to Father, Mother, and Grandmother."

Xie Cen choked. He clearly knew that the old lady would not agree.

"Prince Jin's Wife personally told you about the marriage a few days ago, after so much time, we should quickly reply, it's rare for Prince Jin's Wife to be so sincere, and it's also very important to you, in the future, you will have her protection, and will be able to raise your head amongst the husband's family and the other noble wives, the marriage that I have with your mother is very suitable."

It was only because Xie Cen was a veteran like him that he was able to speak in such a manner without changing his expression. After Xie Jingxi ignorant listened for a while, the only thing she agreed to do was to agree with the current predicament, it was impossible for Xie Cen to find anything more suitable than seeing the Prince Jin's Wife as a personal guardian and seeing as how it was a marriage between the Marquis Anfeng and the Marquis Anfeng, not only it did not involve the struggles of the imperial government, but also had the face of the Marquis Mansion.

As a result, in his eyes, the marriage between Bu Xian and her bad chess was completely suitable. Xie Jingxi could not find fault with it either, it was very suitable for him to stand on Xie Cen's side.

Xie Jingxi's heart was empty, until now, did she still have any other choice? After all, he did not care about Xie Cen's so-called good kicks. Instead, compared to being a chess piece for Xie Cen, the Gu Yun of the Gu family, who had never been taken seriously, was perhaps the most suitable choice. Actually, she had already planned to do this when she rejected Shen Huanzhi. In her opinion, Gu Yun had never possessed any sort of standpoint or ambitions, and under the protection of Marquis Mansion, being able to live a peaceful life would always be much better than being embroiled in all those conflicts within the Imperial Court.

"Since father and mother have decided, daughter naturally has no objections."

Xie Jingxi had been cooperating along the way, but had nearly made Xie Cen lose face. What did you all decide to do, and why did you all have to pretend to ask her? You all merely wanted to use her mouth to make Old Madem nod his head, but even if Xie Jingxi did not mention it, Xie Cen could not do anything about it.

Xie Cen could not help but re-evaluate his obedient daughter in front of him. She looked docile and obedient, but inside, she was extremely tenacious and tough, making people unable to control her heart. Xie Cen couldn't help but have a funny thought. If she swapped with Jingyu, then there might be hope for the future of Xie Family.

"You can leave first. Since you have no objections, I'll get your mother to send a message to Prince Jin's Wife tomorrow and have her come over to settle the engagement."

On the second day, the Prince Jin's Wife received a letter from the Lady Xu and personally came to the palace to decide on the marriage. He picked a lucky day and asked the Marquis Anfeng to pass on the marriage order.

Once the news of this marriage was spread, everyone was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. Prince Jin's Wife had praised her daughter for half a day and then protected her with this marriage.

If one were to say that there was nothing to pick from the Marquis Anfeng Palace, then it would be obvious that his family's old man would definitely not be able to do it. Those wives and grandmothers who had seen Xie Jingxi before all lamented that this was a good daughter of hers, what kind of evil creature had she created to marry such a sickly child. If Marquis Anfeng only had this one son, then the living oligarch would have to guard it. In any case, the future Marquis' Wife would still be hers, but right now, her Marquis Mansion was obviously Second Master Gu Heng's, so there was nothing their major wife could do.

The was not the Elder Official Xie's own, right? Or was he trying to cheat his daughter of something, or was it that the Prince Jin's Wife was using his power to pressure others? When he heard that the wanted to talk about marriage with the Chen family, he was interrupted by the Prince Jin's Wife instead. This marriage was ruined, because even the Prince Jin's Wife's reputation was not good after this.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was a Elder Official Xie, he would have been surrounded by a few people outside the Xie Family gate to watch the show everyday. He didn't even stop to rest even after he closed the door, and the first one to cause trouble was the Old Madem.

"Pack your things and go to Yuhang, I won't let you stay in front of these two heartless people no matter what. If you agree to such a marriage, I think they're crazy!"

Grandmother, stop messing around, it's already been decided. If you go back on your word, then I won't take this reputation of mine, furthermore, there's nothing bad about the young master of the Gu family. If you're sick, you can recover from it, but once you marry into the Marquis Mansion, you can still accompany the Second Miss.

"I think you are confused, ah! Nothing bad? The person who could kick his leg at any time was called "there's nothing bad", but there's nothing bad about him. Are you okay? I finally managed to raise a granddaughter of mine, so she married her way to your Second Miss as a companion. When you two go to another house in the future, why would you still be able to follow her?

Just because of this, she did not give Lady Xu any face for the past few days. Lady Xu had already been scolded to the point of not daring to come to see her, but Xie Cen would always come everyday and be beaten up by the Old Granny until she left.

Xie Jingxi was afraid that she would be angry like this every day, and then make her sick, but she had no other choice. This marriage was no different from taking advantage of an old lady's anger.

Grandmother, look at the Gu family's eldest young master going to the south every year. When I'm done, I'll move to Yuhang with him to keep you company.

"You still dare to mention him to me!? "My wife, don't even think about going to his door once you've lived for a day!"

Xie Jingxi could only shut her mouth, just at this time, a supervisor came in to report, "Old Madem, Third Miss, Marquis Mansion have come to apply, the young master came in person, the old master asked Old Madem to come over to meet them."

Hearing that, the old lady immediately stood up, "He came at the right time, I'll go and take care of this marriage myself. I want to see just how great his Marquis Mansion is.

The old lady left with an unsightly expression, it was not easy for Xie Jingxi to appear, she could only secretly follow behind her. With the old lady's manner, she could not let anything happen to her.
