Chapter 125: Just wait till I marry over there—he'll have a hard time!!

Prin... Princess, you wouldn't still want to go cause trouble with the Marquis of Weinan, would you?

After Li Lizhi left and upon hearing Princess Gao Yang's angry scolding, Xiang Lan, worried, entered.

I never expected that upon entering, I would hear these words.

Xiang Lan was really about to cry.

With only ten days left until the wedding, she hoped again and again that Princess Gao Yang and Chen Yan would spend these ten days peacefully.

After ten days, once they finish their wedding and everything settles, she'll close the door and then not care how they quarrel or fight.

But now, before the wedding, if Princess Gao Yang causes another incident that spreads, she won't know what to do.

Xiang Lan didn't know what Li Lizhi had said to Princess Gao Yang to make her so angry, so she pleaded, "Your Highness, please don't be angry, okay?"

Your wedding with the Marquis of Weinan is approaching; at this time, we truly cannot have any accidents!

Princess Gao Yang gave a cold snort, "Am I that unreasonable a person?"

Rest assured, even if that shameless thief wronged me first, for the sake of the marriage agreement I'll temporarily not stoop to his level.

Just wait until I marry over there—he'll have a hard time!!

Those last words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth.

As the saying goes, it takes two to clap; Li Lizhi's confidence surely comes from Chen Yan's backing.

Otherwise, how could a home-wrecking woman like Li Lizhi utter such righteous-sounding words?

Besides him, everything else can be compromised.

Fine, if that's really the case, could you agree to be nominal spouses with Chen Yan and thereafter live only in the princess's residence?

Could Li Lizhi accept that?

If she could accept it, then Princess Gao Yang likewise wouldn't mind her stepping in and taking the title of Chen Yan's wife.

Also make concessions.

Princess Gao Yang knows without thinking that Li Lizhi will definitely not agree.

Xiang Lan let out a long sigh inside, stood there blankly, her eyes dull.

Yes, you're not someone who acts unreasonably.

You're the most reasonable~

Princess Gao Yang didn't know what Xiang Lan was thinking, only assuming she was still worried about her causing trouble, so she handed over the jade pendant she held.

Come, take this to the Marquis of Weinan's residence and hand it to Chen Yan personally.

By the way, tell him to be more careful from now on and not lose important personal items; this time, if it weren't for my luck in finding it, I could have returned it to him.

If it were picked up by some disreputable person, it would probably be lost.

Finally, tell him I'm waiting for him to marry me in an eight-person sedan!

This is......

Xiang Lan came to her senses, took the jade pendant, and felt it somewhat familiar, as if she'd seen it somewhere before.

It definitely isn't Princess Gao Yang's.

As her personal maid, she knows everything Princess Gao Yang owns better than anyone.

Don't look anymore, this is Chen Yan's jade pendant!

Mentioning this, Princess Gao Yang gets angry.

She didn't fully believe Li Lizhi's words, but the jade pendant being in Li Lizhi's hands is an undeniable fact.

If this jade pendant had been personally given to her by Chen Yan, she certainly wouldn't return it.

Unfortunately, this jade pendant was sent by Li Lizhi, so she naturally wouldn't keep it.

The reason for returning it is simply that it belongs to its original owner.

Secondly...... it's to warn and remind Chen Yan not to forget who is his proper wife.

Okay...... okay, I'll go right away.

Xiang Lan isn't stupid; she also realizes what's going on now.

Before this, Princess Gao Yang didn't have this jade pendant, but after Princess Changle's visit, she did.

So who brought it over needs no thinking.

And the Marquis of Weinan's jade pendant, in Princess Changle's hands, was even brought before Princess Gao Yang....

Xiang Lan shivered, finally understanding why Princess Gao Yang had been so angry just then.

She didn't even dare to think further.

Is this her exact words?

Inside the Marquis of Weinan's residence, Chen Yan lightly rubbed the jade pendant with his finger, raised an eyebrow, and looked at the person before him.

Xiang Lan, with a bitter face, said, "Yes, Marquis of Weinan, these are the princess's exact words."

Chen Yan nodded slightly, then opened his mouth, wanting Xiang Lan to reply to Princess Gao Yang with a few words.

But upon second thought, since Princess Gao Yang could obtain this jade pendant, it must have been personally handed to her by Li Lizhi.

Now, she estimates she's almost dying of anger.

If I anger her further, who knows what she might do.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan shook his head.

Forget it; there will be plenty of time to deal with Princess Gao Yang later, no need for this occasion.

Alright, go back and just say I understand.

Seeing he wasn't angry, Xiang Lan lightly patted her chest, then respectfully bowed and left.

"Young master, what's going on between you and Princess Gao Yang?" Qing'er behind him wondered doubtfully, "I feel there's hidden meaning in her words."

Chen Yan hummed, happily saying: "What else could happen?"

"Gao Yang's blowing his top again, eh."

"Alright, don't worry about her; Xiao Shunzi, go prepare the auction matters, and you should go prepare the items needed for the wedding recently."

"There are still ten days left; whatever needs decorating should start being decorated."

"Yes, young master, I understand." Qing'er nodded firmly.

Marrying the princess isn't that simple; everything needs to be arranged properly.

If we don't prepare in advance and something goes wrong on the wedding day, not only will the Weinan Bo Mansion lose face, but the imperial family will also be embarrassed.

So this matter cannot be taken lightly; the reason Qing'er has been busy lately is because she's preparing Chen Yan and Gao Yang's wedding.

As Chen Yan was about to turn and leave, Qing'er suddenly saw many people entering the Bo mansion's gate, each carrying quite a few things.

Qing'er took a closer look and exclaimed delightedly, "Young master, it's Madame Cui coming!"

"Madame Cui also brought many people; it looks like they're here to help."

"...... Ah?"

Chen Yan blinked, then followed Qing'er's pointing direction and looked over.

He saw that Madame Cui, wife of Cheng Yaojin, while walking, was ordering the maidservants to hang the double happiness lanterns properly and arrange the various auspicious flowers neatly.

"Hey, you over there, pay attention— that peony is askew, move it a bit to the left, yes yes yes, just like that."

"And the lanterns, hang them a little higher; both sides must be evenly hung......"

"Put it down, put it down!!"

"Lay down the red carpet now; with people coming and going in the Bo mansion, if it gets dirty what do we do? Wait until later to lay it!"

Chen Yan: "......"

Madame Cui, inside the Weinan Bo Mansion, didn't treat herself as a guest at all; besides ordering her own attendants, she had already begun commanding the mansion's servants.

The reason she dares to do this is naturally because the two families are extremely close.

After Chen Yan's mother passed away, one could say she has been taking care of him all along.

Usually, although Chen Yan often angers Cheng Yaojin, he holds her in utmost respect.

Saying Chen Yan is like her half-son is not a problem.

"Auntie, how did you come here?"

"Quick, don't busy yourself; come in with your nephew and have a seat!"

After a brief moment of shock, Chen Yan hurriedly went to meet her, taking Madame Cui's hand and walking toward the main hall.

"......"
