"I don't!" Deng Waning cried.

Her mother, Lady Deng, also felt sorry for her daughter, "Yan'er, Wan-ying grew up under your care. When has she ever lied? If she says she didn't do it, then she naturally didn't."

Mrs. Deng didn't look at Bai Ruozhang, knowing she wouldn't be of help and would only be a hindrance. "I asked around, and nothing happened between the two of them."

"Aunt, this isn't a matter of whether it happened or not. I really don't have those feelings for my cousin. I can help with other things, but this... I really can't. Am I supposed to divorce and leave my children just for her sake?"

Bai Ruozhang sat there, just watching the three generations of her family take turns trying to conquer their man.

"Then you would bear to see your cousin go west? The journey is long, not to mention that there might never be another chance to meet in this lifetime!"

Tang Yan pouted, "Then my elder sister didn't go to Bei Mo either, and she hasn't been back yet. She's still a princess."

Just ask, what's missing from your daughter?

"If you're a mother, Ruozhuang, why are you just standing by and watching?"

Bai Ruozhang sighed and propped her hands on her legs. She suddenly stood up, "Auntie, grandmother, excuse me for leaving first. I remembered I have something to do."

"Where are you going?" Tang Yan asked.

"I promised my son that I would take him to Auntie Seven's place to eat delicious peach preserves."

"Are you going to Fu Jiujiu's place?" Old Madam Deng thought, "It must be Fu Jiujiu who made her granddaughter end up in such a difficult situation. She's a troublemaker! You're so close to her, don't you want to anger me to death?"

Bai Ruozhang smiled, “Grandmother, the venomous person you speak of has never harmed me in the slightest. I don’t know who told you she was harmful, but all I know is that if someone doesn’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them. If someone wants to harm her, can she not fight back? Should she just sit there and wait to be robbed of her man? How ridiculous.”

Tang Yan also got up, "Then...will you come back?"

Bai Ruozhuang knew she couldn't leave home right now. Wouldn't that give people an opportunity to gossip?

"Why don't you come back? Are you going to kick me out?"

"I... I didn't mean it that way, I was just asking. If you come back, I'll go pick you up in a bit."

Bai Ruozhuang smiled. Although this man was a bit cowardly, at least he was still on her side.

He's just that kind of person, you can't expect him to be like those little ones. He can't do it. However, although such a person isn't very useful, at least he can still keep himself alive.

After all, he won't pose a threat to anyone.

“Come back after an hour.”

"Good."

Bai Ruozhang ignored the expressions of the three people behind her and left the palace in large strides.

Surrounded by the fireplace, enjoying the cool and refreshing peach in syrup, Bai Ruozhuang also felt that it was really good.

Without being asked by Fu Jiaojiao, she brought up the Deng family's affairs on her own.

Bai Ruozhuang would never want Deng Wan'er, this troublemaker, to be near Tang Yan. She wanted her as far away as possible so she wouldn't cause any more trouble for him.

"Don't worry, this time both of us won't be on her side."

Fu Jiujiu chuckled, "I'm impressed they came up with that."

"Yes, am I foolish? This family is truly overestimating themselves. They've already burdened our couple in our daily lives, and now that something like this has happened, they still want us to disobey the imperial decree? Hmph..."

Fuju knows that Bai Ruozang is just here to give her a heads up, telling her to do whatever she wants and not worry about the two of them. She even said that she'll stand on Fuju's side if necessary.

It can be seen that Deng Wan'ying is so disliked.

"This is so delicious," Bai Ruozhang said. "You can only eat such delicious food here."

"Since it tastes good, I'll bring some back for the eldest prince brother too."

"He… will do. To be honest, I'm fairly satisfied with how he handled this." Bai Ruozhang smiled faintly.

After all, she had already made up her mind. As long as Tang Yan dared to accept Deng Wan'er, she would divorce him. However, before the divorce, she would first kill Deng Wan'er, this scourge.

Now it's saved.

Tang Yan came to pick her up before even an hour had passed. Bai Ruozhuang ate and took a few frozen pears with her as she left.

In the carriage, the little fellow leaned against Bai Ruozhuang's bosom, drowsy.

Tang Yan stole a glance at Bai Ruozhuang and grinned foolishly.

Bai Ruozhuang wasn't a person who didn't make sense. "What are you laughing at? It's late at night and there are so many people sneaking around."

"I thought you were still angry and wouldn't come back!"

"Why are you letting your cousin and you have the right of way?"

"Don't say that, haven't I already made my stance clear? I truly only see him as a younger sister. I don't think of anything else. My mother only had me, and all my brothers have different mothers. Growing up in the royal family, we aren't exactly close."

"Well, your cousin is really thoughtful, she's specifically trying to get you into trouble so you have to clean up the mess."

Tang Yan nodded, "This time I also see it clearly, grandma and aunt-in-law they really didn't think about me, they only want my cousin not to marry to Xilin, don't consider me at all, such consequences, I am quite heartbroken."

Bai Ruozhuang was surprised, she didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise.

This man finally saw through it, realizing that the Deng family had only been using him.

"Not bad, you've finally grown up."

"Cough, cough, Ruozhang, I know, you're the only one who's good to me." Tang Yan pulled her hand. "So, I will never let you down in this life."

Bai Ruozhuang's lips curled up, "This man isn't bad either," "That's right, remember this, others to you are half true and half false. You are my husband, the father of my children, our pillar of support. I only hope for your well-being, never that anything will happen to you."

“I know, you can rest assured, I won't interfere with your cousin's matters. But grandmother said that all of this is caused by Jioujiou, how could I not understand?”

"To think it was your grandmother who spoke up, Guan Jiujiao, what's the matter? If it wasn't for your good cousin wanting to get married with Tang Xian and settle down, how would this have happened?"

Tang Yan thought, his cousin's feelings for the seventh brother, he knew them all, and it didn't seem fake.

All in all, I don't want to deal with it anymore.

"You should feign illness and stay home tomorrow, barring all visitors. Tell anyone who comes that I caught a cold from you today."

Tang Yan nodded, he listened to Bai Ruozhang.

It's not just that the Deng family is unhappy with the marriage, Tang Yan feels the same way.

He clung to the Empress all night and couldn't be driven away.

The Empress Dowager impatiently said once again, "Just go, stop talking, where is anything wrong with Saiqiya?"

Or are you head over heels for someone?

Tang Yian resembled a deflated basketball, "No, but I just don't want to marry Saiqiya. Just thinking about her being the sister of that big toad from Andu makes me look down on her."

"Andy is Andy, she is she. You and your brothers aren't like that either. I think Saiqiya is great, don't say that about her or I won't be happy!"
