Although that eldest daughter of the Li family didn't seem very good.
But she could detoxify the Prince!
He heard everything Miss Yun Er said, clear and distinct.
However.
Then Qiu Lu discovered, why was he the only one excited?
"One cannot be indiscriminate. I had someone discreetly investigate the eldest daughter of the Li family. She cannot be Xiao Li's mother." Although Old Master Qin was happy that there was a way to detoxify, he could not accept his grandson marrying a woman so haphazardly!
Yun Shu had already gotten up and drunk a lot of tea. With Old Master Qin present, she believed Zhan Tianye would have the silver sent to her.
As for who he married or didn't marry, it had nothing to do with her. Of course, it would soon have nothing to do with Xiao Li either.
"I'll be leaving now. Once you've decided on the wedding date, let me know. I will then prescribe the detoxification formula based on Prince Ye's condition. Old Master Qin, I'll be going ahead." Yun Shu said.
Her gaze swept to the doorway.
Unknowingly, it had already gotten dark.
Zhan Tianye saw no unusual expression on Yun Shu's face. Even when Qiu Lu mentioned setting the wedding date, she showed no reaction.
She...
Truly no longer had any designs on him!
Realizing this, his eyes became impossibly dark.
When Old Master Qin heard Yun Shu was leaving, he quickly got up, "Shu girl, I'll escort you."
Then he directly went out with Yun Shu.
Qiu Lu saw this and then looked at Zhan Tianye, saying with a hint of heartbreak, "Your Highness, Old Master doesn't seem to have escorted you. Is Old Master being too good to Miss Yun Er?"
Why did he have the illusion that His Highness wasn't the real grandson, but Miss Yun Er was?
Zhan Tianye shot him a frosty gaze, "Shut up."
Qiu Lu felt he had indeed said too much.
At this moment.
Old Master Qin followed Yun Shu towards the back door.
As they walked, Old Master Qin, with the intention of keeping things within the family, subtly probed Yun Shu, "Shu girl, do you currently have anyone you fancy?"
He had never heard Shu girl mention anyone.
Yun Shu hummed.
"That, do you mind my grandson? Actually, he's quite good! I truly don't fancy that Li Yuexian. If he marries Li Yuexian, I'll never come to the capital again!" The more Old Master Qin thought about it, the angrier he became.
What was Zhan Tianye's taste?
He had decided on such a woman as his Consort?
She couldn't even compare to a single hair on Shu girl's head.
Yun Shu was startled and pointed out a rather harsh reality, "Have you forgotten that I have a son?"
A woman who had a child was useless to Zhan Tianye.
To detoxify, Zhan Tianye had to find a virgin.
Old Master Qin was struck by lightning.
As if he had just realized this heartbreaking reality.
"How could I forget..." Old Master Qin immediately thought of that mischievous boy, Yun Xiaojing. He felt a strong rapport with him, and he couldn't help but be reminded of his own childhood when he looked at Yun Xiaojing.
Is there truly no fate?!
He had secretly harbored this intention, wanting to keep things within the family and bring Shu girl and his grandson together.
But it all fell apart!
Yun Shu continued, "Old Master Qin, I hope you can keep my identity as a divine physician and my having a son a secret. Including Prince Ye, no one should know."
Old Master Qin had not yet recovered, and said with great anguish, "Are you so fated to be apart?"
"Extremely fated to be apart! Don't even think about it! Find him a proper maiden who has never been married. Detoxification is the priority," Yun Shu advised gently.
She hadn't expected Old Master Qin to harbor the thought of bringing her and Zhan Tianye together.
It was absolutely impossible for the two of them!
Old Master Qin was filled with melancholy, clearly disheartened.
"Alas! I wonder who will be fortunate enough to marry you in the future!" Whenever Old Master Qin thought of Shu girl being married off, and not to his grandson, he felt a pang of discomfort.
Forget it.
His grandson was not worthy.
And did not have that fortune.
His mood was extremely heavy.
He finally escorted Yun Shu to the back door.
Then, dejected, he returned to Zhan Tianye.
Seeing Old Master Qin suddenly unhappy, Zhan Tianye asked, "What happened?"
"Alas!" Old Master Qin sighed heavily.
Zhan Tianye raised an eyebrow.
Old Master Qin looked at Zhan Tianye and waved his hand; "Hurry up and go. It's fine for you to marry anyone! But if you dare to marry that Li Yuexian, I won't come to the capital again! Find someone else. Before changing, investigate thoroughly, or understand them well."
He was truly worried sick, with endless concerns!
Zhan Tianye felt that his grandfather's sudden low mood was not because he was marrying Li Yuexian, "What exactly is it? Grandfather, speak plainly."
Old Master Qin was already full of pent-up anger, so he didn't hold back and huffed, "Originally, I had intended to matchmake you and Shu girl. If you married her, it would be as if our ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke. What a pity, what a pity!"
"Ah? Your Highness doesn't like Miss Yun Er!" Qiu Lu quickly defended his master.
Zhan Tianye's eyes were deep, his thoughts unreadable, he merely raised an eyebrow, "What a pity?"
"A pity that His Highness doesn't like Miss Yun Er?" Qiu Lu blurted out.
Zhan Tianye shot him a cold glance.
Old Master Qin slapped him, "Nonsense!"
"That hurt, Old Master!" Qiu Lu rubbed his head, having been hit twice today.
Old Master was definitely practicing Iron Palm!
"It's that she doesn't fancy your master!" Old Master Qin said, and then gave Zhan Tianye a look of disdain before entering the house without looking back.
He slammed the door shut, "Hurry up and go! Don't be an eyesore here! Also, don't forget to send the silver to Shu girl when you have time!"
Immediately after, they heard a deep sigh from Old Master Qin.
"Infuriating! Useless!" Old Master Qin puffed out his beard and glared.
Zhan Tianye clearly heard Old Master Qin's grumbling and his lips twitched.
Soon.
They boarded the carriage back to Prince Ye's mansion.
By now, it was completely dark.
After a moment, news came from outside the city.
"Your Highness, General Yun did not escort Yun Dezhi today because it was too late. He said he would escort Yun Dezhi into the capital tomorrow morning." Qiu Lu informed Zhan Tianye of the latest news.
Zhan Tianye nodded.
Qiu Lu's expression shifted, "Your Highness, Old Master hates the eldest daughter of the Li family so much, this marriage..."
There were many women in the capital who wanted to marry the Prince. If they were chosen carefully, they would surely find one that pleased His Highness.
"Why do you think Yun Shu didn't want to marry me?" Zhan Tianye suddenly asked Qiu Lu.
Qiu Lu was stunned for a moment, then a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Because Miss Yun Er has become smarter now. She knows that forced fruit is not sweet, so she's no longer pestering Your Highness!" After all, she used to pester him every day, and he never even glanced at her.
Zhan Tianye narrowed his dark eyes, "Really?"
