According to Chu Lianruo's previous temperament, she would have probably just endured the humiliation and returned to the manor in a horse-drawn carriage. But now, Chu Lianruo was not one to be easily deceived. Her face remained calm, but her eyes grew increasingly icy as she said indifferently, "Wu Guanjia really has a big nerve."

  The voice was not loud, but it startled Wu Guanjia inexplicably. "Concubine Xi Nu, I'm also in a difficult position."

  Chu Lian didn't even want to spare him a glance, "Go back."

  Wu Guanjia thought that the fourth miss had compromised, and in his heart he looked down on her even more. He knew that even if she became a princess, she would still have such a weak character. But when he lifted his head, he was stunned - he saw the fourth miss turn around and walk towards the boat.

  This this this......

  Wu Guan's family pretended to be calm and said, "Chu Ce Fei, please wait a moment. I just remembered that there is still a soft sedan chair in the mansion that has not been used yet. I will have it brought over for you right away. Please be patient!" After finishing speaking, he had the servant behind him hurry to the General's Mansion to fetch the soft sedan chair.

  "Wu Guan Jia, are you not taking the concubine seriously with your repeated changes of heart? Even if there is a soft sedan now, the concubine is still angry. What do you think can be done to appease her?" Si Wei looked at Wu Guan Jia, who was bowing his head, with disdain.

  "Perhaps it would be better to just kneel down and get into the sedan chair?"

  Wu Guan's face twitched, and he looked at Chu Lianruo, but saw that she didn't say anything or stop him. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and kneel down. His heart was anxious for the sedan chair to arrive soon. This old man's bones were well taken care of in the governor's mansion, but after kneeling for a while, his knees started to ache, and he lost all face.

  The matter on the shore soon reached the ears of the various masters in the Governor's Mansion, and for a moment they didn't know what to think.

  Chu Lianruo went ahead with Si Wei to return to the mansion, while Xiang Yang led the guards to escort them. When they arrived at the Governor's Mansion, there were already many people standing at the gate, and the scene was particularly lively.

  Before she came, she had already roughly figured out the situation of the Governor's Mansion. Chu Tan, the governor of Xunzhou, was a famous number one scholar in Shengjing that year, and he was not only handsome but also had excellent writing skills. Later, he married Yang Fan, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, as his wife, and since then, his official career has been smooth sailing, step by step to the position of Governor of Xunzhou, and this person is not to be underestimated.

  Chu Tan also had two concubines, Ma and Qu, as well as several servant girls. Chu Lian's own mother was a virtuous concubine named Meng. After giving birth to her, Meng did not have any other children. However, Meng was not simple; although she looked weak like Chu Lian, over the years, she managed to avoid being forgotten or disliked by Chu Tan, and he would occasionally visit her quarters to rest.

  Chu Lian was the fourth in line at the Governor's Mansion, with three older sisters above her. The first and third sisters were born to the legitimate wife, while the second sister was born to Concubine Ma. Eldest Sister Chu Yunru participated in the selection of consorts together with her and entered the palace as Honorable Lady Yun, Second Sister became engaged to the third son of Prince Ping of Jing, but Third Sister had yet to settle on a marriage arrangement.

  The sedan chair came to a smooth stop. Wu Guan Jia walked over with trembling legs and whispered something in the ear of the leading noblewoman.

  Si Wei got down from the sedan chair and stretched out his hand to support Ce Fei, while the slanting sun on one side had already lifted up the curtain, only to see a slender jade-like hand stretching out from inside the curtain and gently placing itself on top of Si Wei's hand.

  The woman who came out immediately had a clear and shallow eyebrow, which was slightly frowned, and the golden butterfly step shook lightly when walking, with a soft weakness but with an unspeakable nobility and elegance, as if people saw the jade lotus standing in the snowy ice.

  Chu Lian followed Si Wei's hand and walked out, only to see a group of people walking towards her. The lady leading the way walked over, looked her up and down, and smiled faintly at her. "Lian Ruo is back, we've been waiting for you for a while, come in with me quickly."
