Chu Liyin smiled. Coincidentally, she also had a bunch of candied haws in her hand. Taking a bite, her tongue was filled with the sweet taste.
"Let me tell you, there are plenty of men out there. Why hang yourself on one tree, right?" Chu Liyin raised her eyebrows and looked at Cheng Xiran, spouting a lot of comforting words earnestly.
Cheng Xiran looked at Chu Liyin in a bit of confusion. She frowned her delicate eyebrows, and her small face was full of puzzlement.
"I saw that you seemed to be in a bad mood when you heard that the Regent is going to get married," Chu Liyin said helplessly, spreading her hands.
"Let He Lianduo marry whoever he wants. I don't care how many wives he takes. But..." Cheng Xiran changed the subject. She raised her small fist and said somewhat unhappily, "He Lianduo actually dared to turn me away. Is getting married something to be so proud of?"
Seeing that Cheng Xiran didn't seem to care, Chu Liyin smiled relievedly.
The two of them chatted and laughed all the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Chu Liyin stayed in the mansion for a long time. It was not until Xue Lian came to pick her up that she left the mansion reluctantly.
After Chu Liyin left, Cheng Xiran concentrated on writing the article for the next day. It seemed that she had to write a serialized novel to attract readers' attention. Small articles could only satisfy the readers for a while, but not for a long - term.
The next day, a low - key yet somewhat luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of the newspaper office. A tall and straight figure stepped out of the carriage. A guard ran to the door first and knocked on it.
"Who are you?" The maid just opened the door a crack. When she saw that the person outside was a familiar guard from the Regent's Mansion, her words suddenly stopped, and the door slammed shut again.
The guard, who almost got his nose hit by the door, touched his nose in surprise and turned to look at He Lianduo behind him.
"Don't they even recognize this king?" He Lianduo lifted his black eyes, and his cold voice sent a chill down one's spine.
After receiving the order, the guard knocked on the door again and shouted, "We are from the Regent's Mansion. Please open the door!"
"Our mistress said that anyone from the Regent's Mansion is not allowed to enter!" the maid shouted loudly behind the door.
He Lianduo suddenly frowned tightly. This was the first time he couldn't get in. After all, he had invested some money in this place. Now he couldn't even get in the door? Cheng Xiran...
Thinking of Cheng Xiran, her appearance clearly appeared in his mind. Counting carefully, it had been several days since he last saw her.
The guard beside him kept shouting at the door persistently. The maid was arguing with the guard through the door. She really took after her mistress.
"Our mistress has been to the Regent's Mansion many times and was turned away several times. Now you think you can just come to the newspaper office whenever you want. What do you take us for?" the maid shouted excitedly as she spoke. He Lianduo's sword - shaped eyebrows frowned even more tightly. With a look in his eyes, he motioned for the guard to step back.
Cheng Xiran wouldn't have refused to let him in for no reason. Maybe what the maid said was true.
He Lianduo waved his hand, and the group returned to the carriage. The coachman turned the carriage around and drove towards the Regent's Mansion.
Seeing He Lianduo return to the mansion, a maid quickly went in to report. The servants were trembling as they guarded the door.
He Lianduo walked into the mansion with a cold aura. The butler quickly stepped forward with a smiling face, and the wrinkles on his face were all bunched up.
"Gather all the servants in charge of guarding the gate in the yard. This king wants to see who has the audacity to turn someone away," He Lianduo lifted his black eyes like a night - hawk. He scanned the surroundings sharply, and his magnetic voice seemed to be mixed with ice chips, exuding a chilling air.
