It was unknown how long Zheng Peiru had been running for, but it was difficult to search for the reason why. Xie Jingxi had sent a letter to Shen Huanzhi, if he found any traces of Zheng Peiru, he would definitely send her back to the capital.

Not to mention the mess in the Zheng Family, there was suddenly an additional lady in the list of the princes and wives of the Second Prince s. When the was young, it was also reasonable that he was included in the list, and Imperial Noble Consort Shen had always wanted to rope in the Elder Official Xie and Gu family.

The reason was because his impression of the six young ladies of Xie Family was not very good, and he had considered the political standings, and so far, to the point where the of the young lady who made him think of the Xie Family could not be considered everyone, and did not have the worries of her family's expansion at the moment, was considered a good candidate. Even if the young lady looked ordinary, being able to enter the door and act like a little girl was fine, but with a wave of her brush, the six young ladies were changed into Xu Jingshu.

Xie Cen, who had received the letter, was also surprised, as he did not think that the Xu Family would be in the list of participants in the selection, thus he went to find Lady Xu to ask. Lady Xu was even more confused, she was just about to tell what had happened, why did she suddenly get called out by the His Majesty to participate in the selection of the prince's wife?

"Master, what should we do? Jingshu, I still want to stay at home."

Xie Cen glared at her, "I don't agree, don't even think about it, what's more, you should be clear about what your brother is thinking. If he were to be chosen, do you think your brother would want her to marry us?"

Lady Xu was speechless. She only wanted to make a fool of herself by giving her parents and not her elder brother, but if Xu Jingshu could really marry her, maybe her Xu Family would rise because of this.

"Since the His Majesty has already mentioned it, there's nothing we can say about it. We have to prepare for her as well. If Jing Shu is chosen, then we can have some light of our own as well."

Xie Cen snorted, "Then what if she cannot be chosen, there is no place for her in the capital. What should we do, do you have any idea?"

Although Lady Xu was unwilling, she had no other choice. However, Xu Jingshu forgave her and said privately, "Jingshu won't make things difficult for Aunt, since His Majesty asked, I can only go. If Jingshu can't choose, then I'll pack up and go back home. I won't make Aunt lose face."

"Good child, your aunt will not let you go back. If you cannot, then I will find a family for you in the capital, regardless of your family background, it is better than going back home."

The Lady Xu really did not understand Xu Jingshu's intentions. If it was a normal family, why would she still come to the capital, so she was determined to get this prince's wife. Even if she had to enter, she would enter at the very least.

As long as Xu Jingshu did not marry Jingyu, she could marry anyone she wanted. However, although the Xie Family Sixth Miss was not in the selection, suddenly there were many families who came to ask for's hand in marriage. For example, the Zheng Family that had sent him this message was one of them.

The day before she went to Zheng Family, Fang Yu coincidentally came to the manor. Unexpectedly, she was a very quiet girl, although her height was a little taller than Fang Dai, no one could tell that she was a girl with unique skills.

"Madam, don't look at her gentle and quiet appearance. Her mouth won't let anyone off. If you anger her, then please help me teach her a lesson." Fang Dai pulled Fang Yu in front of Xie Jingxi, and instructed her, "Our mistress cannot be any better. I called you here to protect her, and usually, I want you to take care of her work, don't cause trouble for her, okay?"

"I got it, Sis. You've been nagging so many times." Fang Yu turned to Xie Jingxi and said, "Fang Yu greets Madam."

Xie Jingxi looked at her, this girl looked very delicate, although on the surface she did not look as natural as Fang Dai, but her eyes looked very charming. At first glance, her eyes were bright and elegant, but in reality, Gu Panpan was quite shrewd, it was just that this intelligence was used by her to a certain extent, and made her seem like she was not as friendly to others.

On the other hand, you are somewhat similar to Fang Dai. I wonder what you do everyday, does combing your hair look like a coincidence like your sister?

"I'm not afraid of Madam's jokes. I've learnt everything, but I'm not good at anything. Sister often says it to me because of this. I hope Madam doesn't dislike me."

Xie Jingxi laughed, "You sure know how to talk, go back and ask Ming Yu to tell you about the people here, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask me, we don't need to pay attention to the rules."

"I know about Madame."

Fang Yu this lady knew how to talk, and after a while, she got along well with Ming Yu, and was extremely efficient in doing things, such that she was not familiar with Fang Dai, and her skills were coincidental, making her a good helper. As a result, when they went to Zheng Family, Xie Jingxi only brought Fang Yu with him.

The of the Zheng Family came over personally to welcome her, "I've seen you a few times in the palace, but I haven't had a good talk with you this whole time.

"Young Grandma Sun is too polite. Since the ancestors of the estate are old, those of the younger generation should come over to celebrate. Please or not, please or not, please or not," said Ji Yunshu.

Four generations of s are still alive, but the one in charge is his grandson. In other words, the eldest young master Zheng Fengqing's house, the achievements of the older generation was impressive, the Old Madem is an extremely prestigious person, his son's generation does not have such a chance, his eldest granddaughter is the current Empress' imperial consort, while Zheng Fengqing and his are siblings of the same mother.

In terms of seniority, Lady Sun was a generation older than Xie Jingxi, but their Zheng Family did not have any deep ties with either the Marquis Anfeng or the Marquis Anfeng Palace.

The crippling of the Former Crown Prince had eased the relationship between many families. With the change in Zheng Family strategy, they would of course take the initiative to befriend a person who looked like a part of the Second Prince, Xie Family. Also, as the son-in-law of the Xie Family and extremely favored Elder Young Master Gu, Xie Jingxi would definitely be chosen as the link between them.

According to Gu Yun's words, there were no long-term enemies. As long as their interests coincided, there was no reason to blame them for being ambiguous or friendly with each other. Since Zheng Family took the initiative to throw out an olive branch, there was no reason to refuse.

Although the crown prince was crippled, the prestige of his Zheng Family still remained, especially considering the fact that there were a lot of families that had come to Old Madem. It was inconvenient for Dong Ri to be outside, as it was not that spacious in the room. Thus, instead of setting up a table, he put all the food and drinks in one place for everyone to eat and chat at the same time.

What was even more bizarre was that Xu Jingshu was also with them. For some reason, the Lady Xu did not come, but only Xu Jingshu came and acted as Zhang Yushi's close friend, and those who did not know him would think that they were blood sisters.

Zhang Yushi was currently a popular candidate for the Second Prince's women, and her Zhang Family had risen accordingly. Everywhere she went, the shadows of the people from Zhang Family could be seen, and that Zhang Yushi was originally very noble, who now even wished to use her nose to look at people. Xie Jingxi was too lazy to greet them, and sat down to talk with her wives.

Fang Yu had said that Xie Jingxi had a light taste, and liked to eat fresh fruits, but at the moment, there were only families that had access to fresh fruits and had access to both silver and gold. His Zheng Family was huge, and there were a lot of fresh fruits, but there were a lot of people who could not bear to eat it, so Fang Yu only saw a plate of Sweet Fruit Meat, which was just about to be taken by another lady.

Fang Yu thought that this girl had a good future, the way she ate seemed a little too unsightly. Fang Yu had a good memory, she recognized that this was the girl who was looking at people with her nose, and then without batting an eyelid she stopped her, "This sister, your fingernails only cut into me, shouldn't you apologize and leave?"

The little girl probably did not expect Fang Yu to stop her, in truth, if she apologized, Fang Yu would not make things difficult for her, it was just a plate of honey orange, it was not lacking for Zhang Family to eat their wives, there was no need to make people lose their faces, but the little girl was probably infected by their young lady, and felt that Fang Yu was too easy to bully, hence she looked down on him.

"Oh, little sister, you got it when you came to rob me, why do you blame me? If you really want it, I can give you some, why are you fighting so hard for it? Seriously, our young lady doesn't lack this kind of stuff, it doesn't matter whether we eat or not."

The injuries on Fang Yu's hand could clearly be seen, the direction she was heading was obviously aimed towards her first. After slashing her hand across someone, she then extended her hand out, and Fang Yu smiled gently, "This sister just took three portions, I think your family's young lady does not lack one, coincidentally, my wife loves this kind of food, why not let your young lady eat this plate less?"

That girl really did not expect that she would actually take the initiative to ask for it, and she had indeed taken three trays in succession. Who knew that she would see all of them, and it caused her to slap herself in the face.

Just at this moment, Xu Jingshu, who was standing beside her, stood up and said: "I'm really sorry, it's because I love eating honey oranges, that's why I let Big Sis Zhang's girl go and get a few more portions for me.

No wonder Zhang Yushi was so intimate with her, she was simply being eaten by her. That orange was something that Zhang Yushi ate all by herself, and quite a number of people had seen her eat it. Since then, everyone felt that Xu Family was a lady's kindness.

But when she said that, it made Xie Jingxi feel really petty, even if Fang Yu took it she would still feel really awkward, the little girl playfully handed the honey orange to Fang Yu, "Hey, this plate is yours."

Fang Yu's face did not contain any anger, she only raised her hand to block, "This sister, you must be serious, what status do you have to reward us? With that said, in the future, we can also kowtow and express our gratitude, and other than that, you must apologize to me, for stealing and injuring me, it won't be so easy to pass."
