Situ Ningxiang and Mu Xuan were both stunned and looked at Lingfei.
Lingfei said angrily: "What are you doing with those useless things? So what if you snatch away the betrothal gift? Is General Chu too poor to afford a second betrothal? It's just looking for trouble."
"Then I can't let them get married smoothly," Situ Ningxiang shouted unreasonably.
Lingfei sighed: "I'm going to find Dong Shiyu now. Since Chu Peiyun refuses to break off the engagement, we can only start with that woman."
Situ Ningxiang asked uncertainly and longingly: "Will it work?"
Lingfei rolled his eyes at her: "It's better than grabbing the bride price."
Mu Xuan chuckled: "The princess is the princess, that's it!"
"I want to go too." Situ Ningxiang's eyes lit up with hope, and she became more energetic.
Lingfei winked at Mu Xuan, who knowingly took out a human skin mask and put it on Situ Ningxiang, and then the three of them went out together.
Chu Peiyun's marriage proposal team had already marched towards the Dong Mansion. Situ Ningxiang refused to wait for a moment. Lingfei had no choice but to call a carriage and rush to the Dong Mansion.
On the carriage, Lingfei got a rough idea of the life background of the daughter of the Dong family. Speaking of the Dong family, they are indeed famous. The master of the Dong family, Dong Liaozhen, was Situ Lian's childhood companion and once ranked in the official department.
Although Shangshu no longer held power due to illness ten years ago, the emperor still loved him very much.
Dong Shiyu is the youngest daughter of Dong Liaozhen, she is only 18 years old. Originally, it was impossible for a concubine like her, a retired veteran, to marry the current general as his wife, but Situ Lian loved her very much, and Dong Shiyu also
She is really pretty and lovely, Situ Liancai gave her this favor
Just as Chu Peiyun's team arrived, Ling Fei arrived right behind him
The front door of Dong's Mansion is not luxurious, and there is no trace of its owner. Lingfei, who was once a first-grade great Yuan of the current dynasty, smiled slightly and spread the word "Princess Song Lingfei of the Ling Kingdom is visiting."
She didn't say Situ Chen's name, but she said her own name. Mu Xuan raised her eyes and looked at her, flattening her mouth.
Dong Liaozhen was a little surprised to see Lingfei, but he still invited her into the palace very politely. Lingfei didn't say anything to Chu Peiyun, but just blessed her, passed her by, and went to find Dong Shiyu.
Situ Ningxiang passed by Chu Peiyun and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him, only to find that he was also looking at her suspiciously. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly lowered her head and left. Did Chu Peiyun recognize her?
Lingfei followed the servants of the Dong family to the back hall, glanced at Mu Xuan and Ningxiang apologetically, left them aside, and sat down to drink tea with a smile. Fortunately, as soon as the cup of tea was finished, Dong Shiyu appeared.
doorway
Dong Shiyu dressed up very delicately today. She swept her eyebrows lightly, and the makeup on her face was delicate but not gaudy. She wore a light blue cotton robe, which not only kept warm, but also perfectly showed off her exquisite figure. Even Lingfei couldn't help it.
Cheers, what a lovely guy
Situ Ningxiang showed full contempt and glared at Lingfei unceremoniously. Lingfei quickly cleared his throat and said to Dong Shiyu: "Miss Dong, can you take a step to speak?"
Dong Shiyu smiled sweetly: "Why did the wind bring the third princess here? Shi Yu was so flattered. How dare he not obey the princess's instructions? Why not go to my bamboo house and Shi Yu invite the princess to tea?"
Lingfei sighed in his heart. She is as beautiful as jade and generous. Ningxiang really has a headache when she meets this opponent.
Dong Shiyu's bamboo house is fresh and elegant. March has just entered, and it is the time when the spring bamboo shoots are sprouting. The bamboo house is filled with a fresh earthy smell after the rain, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"Princess, please have tea." Dong Shiyu carefully boiled water, washed the tea, and then held a cup of tea in front of Lingfei.
Lingfei took a sip. It was really good tea. She smiled and said, "Miss Dong is such an elegant person."
Dong Shiyu's face was slightly red and he said softly: "Princess, you're welcome. If you don't mind, just call me Shi Yu."
Lingfei drank a cup of tea, looked at Dong Shiyu and said, "I heard that Miss Shi Yu is getting married soon."
The blush on Dong Shiyu's face became even thicker, and he whispered: "Yes, General Chu is here to propose marriage today."
"Have you met General Chu? Do you know him?"
“I’ve seen him a few times from afar, but never spoken to him.”
"Do you like General Chu?"
Dong Shiyu's face was red, he didn't dare to raise his head at all, and said in a low voice: "Why does the princess ask such a thing..."
Lingfei asked slightly disappointedly: "Do you like him?"
Dong Shiyu bit his lip and said: "Whatever you like or dislike, this is the favor given to Shi Yu by the emperor."
Lingfei's eyes lit up: "So you don't like him?"
Dong Shiyu glanced at Lingfei in surprise, frowned slightly and said: "Since ancient times, the marriage of the daughter's family, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, why does the princess always ask me such strange questions?"
Lingfei looked at her and said: "The orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker are important, but your feelings are more important. This is your lifelong event. Are you willing to hand over your future to a man you don't understand at all? Just for the sake of the emperor.
A random thought? A joke! It’s still not too late. If you don’t want to get married, I can help you.”
Dong Shiyu opened his eyes wide, stood up from the chair, changed his previous shy attitude, and said in a cold voice: "The princess is the princess of Ling Kingdom, and she must have grown up reading the Four Books and Five Classics. How could she say such rebellious words?"
?That imperial edict is not a random thought. Although Shi Yu is a concubine, she is not a frivolous person. I forgive the princess for her kindness, but I cannot accept it. Please come back, princess."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away without looking back. Lingfei sighed helplessly and returned to the main hall sadly.
"How is it?" Situ Ningxiang asked expectantly.
Lingfei shook his head: "Let's go back first and then think of other ways."
Dong Shiyu narrowed his eyes and watched Lingfei leave Dong Mansion. He snorted softly, turned his head and said coldly: "Tell the secret guards that the person they are looking for has appeared."
She paused and added: "Find a few more people, and while the secret guards are taking action, we can also take care of that little bitch Situ Ningxiang. I don't want to see that girl again."
"Master, Princess Ningxiang is in the palace, how can we do anything..."
"She's following Song Lingfei in disguise. Looking at Chu Peiyun's distracted look, I can recognize her in whatever makeup she puts on!"
Lingfei walked out of Dong's Mansion, feeling a little uneasy, although she couldn't tell what was wrong... Situ Ningxiang lowered her head and didn't say a word
Suddenly, Lingfei paused and glanced at Mu Xuan warily: "There is murderous intent!"
Whoosh, several darts had jumped into the carriage. The servant who was driving the carriage groaned and fell to the ground, motionless.
"Get out of the carriage" Mu Xuan made a prompt decision and pushed Lingfei and Situ Ningxiang out of the carriage. They saw a dozen men in black rushing toward them, with golden eyes shining, and they were all masters at a glance.
