The news that Wei Ruo was bestowed a marriage quickly spread throughout the House of Uncle Zhongyi, and the grandchildren who did not come to hear the decree also got the news.
After hearing the news, Wei Qingwan broke the teacup in her hand in a daze.
Then he slumped and sat back down.
"Wei Qingruo...to be the concubine of the Ninth Prince..."
After a while, Wei Qingwan came back to her senses, and confirmed to Cui He who had reported to her: "Is she really the concubine of the Ninth Prince? Did you hear me right?"
Cui He pursed her lips and shook her head sadly: "This servant has confirmed again and again that she is indeed the concubine."
"Why does she, Wei Qingruo, have such good luck?" Wei Qingwan didn't understand.
At the beginning, she was troubled by gossip in Taizhou Mansion, and her future was dark. She finally got a marriage gift and became the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Yu.
But her rumors at that time were all groundless, and no one had actual evidence.
And Wei Ruo's divorce now, and the order of Kefu by Taoist Qianyuan are all real.
Wei Qingwan really can't understand why under such circumstances, there are still people who are willing to marry Wei Ruo, and the person who wants to marry her is the Ninth Prince who is currently favored!
"Miss, don't worry, isn't it rumored outside that the Ninth Prince is a sick child and will live in a few days? The young lady will be a widow even if she marries, far inferior to you." Cui He comforted.
"But even if the Ninth Prince doesn't live long, she will have no worries about food and clothing after becoming a widow! She shouldn't have such a good life... She was divorced by Xuanpinghou's mansion, how could she find a family that is better than Xuanpinghou's? A better marriage in the government?" Wei Qingwan gritted her teeth.
"Miss, please calm down. Your body is the most important thing. Now the matter is not yet clear. Even if the eldest lady is married, it may not be a good thing. The servant also heard that the Ninth Prince is not only sick, but also has a very weird temperament. Improper service was directly beaten to death by him, the method was very cruel."
Wei Qingwan didn't speak for a long while, she clenched her fists involuntarily, and her lips were drawn into a line.

King King's Mansion.
Lu Yuhong came to Chu Lan with a jug of good wine.
Pushing open the door of Chu Lan's study and seeing Chu Lan cleaning his bow and arrows, Lu Yuhong teased, "You still have this idle time? The emperor has already fixed the marriage for you, so you are not in a hurry?"
Chu Lan was dressed in dark blue casual clothes, standing in front of the bookshelf, with an indifferent expression, and kept wiping the bow and arrow with her hands.
Facing Lu Yuhong's ridicule, he replied calmly: "There is nothing to worry about."
"There's nothing to worry about. This is a major personal matter for you. It was decided without warning. I thought it would at least wait until King Yu got married."
"He is not in a hurry to arrange a marriage for me, but to arrange a marriage for Chu Yi." Chu Lan said calmly.
"That Chu Yi really needs to arrange the marriage quickly, otherwise I'm afraid his body won't be able to hold on. I just feel sorry for the young miss of the Wei family. I can't bear her to marry such a dying person." Lu Yuhong sighed. .
It's rare for Lu Yuhong to show such a regretful expression on someone else's marriage.
"You seem to have a good impression of Miss Wei's family?" Chu Lan asked.
"Don't think about it, she and I are not the kind of relationship between a man and a woman. I regard her as a friend, and she is kind to me, and she is my savior."
"It's not the best, even if she has been married to Chu Yi, no one can change this fact." Chu Lan said.
"Then I know it."
Lu Yuhong put the wine on the desk, and then invited Chu Lan to drink together: "Come on, drink a jug of good wine, I stole it from my old man."
Lu Yuhong noticed that Chu Lan was still staring at the bow and arrow in his hand.
"What's so special about this bow and arrow? You've seen it for a long time."
"What?" Hearing this, Lu Yuhong immediately got up, and came to Chu Lan full of curiosity.
After looking at the bow and arrow for a while, Lu Yuhong was not satisfied, so he took the bow and arrow from Chu Lan's hand and tried it.
As a martial idiot, I am most familiar with these things.
"This bow and arrow just looks like nothing special, the bow string or the bow itself. But I know that this thing is a thousand miles away, and the length, hardness, and angle of the bow arm have a slight deviation, which will have a great impact. , and this bowstring, different materials, thickness, tightness, can cause a huge gap."
After speaking, Lu Yuhong asked Chu Lan, "Where did you get your bow and arrow?"
"The anti-Japanese army is using the improved technology brought by Xu Zhengyong." Chu Lan replied.
"Did he also bring the Liannu and Thunderbolt last time?" Lu Yuhong asked.
"It's him."
"Good boy, you are quite capable, and you can get so many good things!"
"It's not his job."
"not him?"
"He has a cousin named Xu Heyou."
"Xu Heyou? Your savior?"
"It's him."
"This Xu Heyou is really capable, why don't you recruit him, give him an official position, and let him show his ambitions above the court."
"he does not like."
Speaking of this matter, Chu Lan's eyebrows involuntarily cast a thin layer of frost, and Xu Heyou's indifferent expression when facing him appeared in front of his eyes.
"I really don't understand you guys." Lu Yuhong shook his head, "Forget it, I don't care what your relationship is, do you have many bows? Give me one, I'll take it back and try."
"No." Chu Lan took the bow back from Lu Yuhong's hand, and hung it cautiously on the wall.
"Stingy." Lu Yuhong muttered.
Then he proposed to go out with Chu Lan for a walk, and Chu Lan agreed.

Because the imperial decree of granting marriage came down, Wei Ruo's situation in the Zhongyibo Mansion has been greatly improved, even better than before being annulled by the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Today, if Wei Ruo wants to leave the mansion, Mrs. Wei agrees without thinking too much.
Wei Ruo also expressed that he did not want to go out with other brothers and sisters in the mansion. Although Mrs. Wei hesitated, she agreed, and only sent Wei Ruo a nanny and guards to accompany her.
The nanny sent this time is Nanny Zhang whom Wei Ruo is familiar with, so it will be much easier for Wei Ruo to act.
She went to the house that Wei Jinyi took her to last time, and changed her clothes inside.
Before she left last time, her second brother told her that this house is usually vacant, and all the clothes are reserved for her, and she can come here when she needs it.
After changing clothes with Xiumei, Wei Ruo went out as Xu Heyou.
They came to Tongde Hall and found their former buddies.
Wei Ruozheng was talking with his assistant when Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong walked in.
Lu Yuhong was chatting with Chu Lan in a rambling manner: "You don't know how stubborn my old man is. He's obviously suffering from a relapse of his old injury, yet he insists that he's fine and refuses to see a doctor."
Chu Lan's gaze was no longer on Lu Yuhong, he saw Wei Ruo in men's clothing in front of the counter...
