Su Wanrou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could such a young boy marry her? However, she was still a bit happy to be praised so well by a child.

"Cousin Zhou, when you are old enough to marry big sister, if you still haven't changed your mind, big sister will consider it." This also made a lot of people laugh.

She immediately felt a better impression of Su Wanrou.

Su Wanrou recognized the little boy. In his previous life, this boy entered the military camp at the age of 15 with his father. However, when his name became famous, Su Wanrou had already been imprisoned in the Northern Courtyard for a long time.

"Then elder sister must remember me. My name is Ning Yuanzhou, I will definitely propose marriage to aunt in the future. Elder sister must wait for Zhuo'er to grow up!" Ning Yuanzhou's face was full of seriousness.

Madam Ning quickly answered for Su Wanrou and went straight back to her parents' home. Su Wanrou even had a small suitor.

Su Wanrou was picked from time to time to talk until finally, Ning Feng pulled her along and said that he would teach her martial arts personally. It was only because Madam Ning and Mrs. Xue firmly disagreed that they could only give up.

The two of them rode back to the manor. Su Wanrou massaged her mother's temples. Her mother had drunk a few cups today and now had a headache.

"Rou Er, why did you suddenly mention going to grandpa?" Madam Ning closed her eyes and suddenly said something. Although she did not want to care about many things and thought about many things, it did not mean that she could not see through it.

Naturally, she could feel the changes in her daughter. Furthermore, Su Wanrou's actions made her feel as if Su Wanrou had something to do, and that it wouldn't be a trivial matter.

Su Wanrou's underlings were stunned silent. She didn't expect her mother to notice so quickly. Moreover, she didn't want to lie to her mother, but what could she say? He had been reborn to seek revenge against Su Xiuting and Zhou Yu?

After a long while, the only sounds that could be heard were the rolling of the carriage and the sounds of pedestrians.

Madam Ning slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were bright, and she did not look drunk at all.

"No matter what you do, mother will always support you. But, child, you have your freedom, and mother knows that you will protect her as well. Therefore, you must protect the important people, do you understand?" Madam Ning turned her head to look at Su Wanrou as she whispered.

She forcefully held back her tears and sniffed. Su Wanrou opened her mouth to promise, "Mother, I know what you mean, but I will definitely not do that kind of thing. There are some things that your son will not be able to explain in a short amount of time, but Mother, you must believe that your son will absolutely not do anything that would harm someone important."

Madam Ning nodded. She could see the sincerity in Su Wanrou's eyes. Moreover, this was her child, so how could she not believe it?

After the two of them returned to the mansion, Su Wanrou helped Madam Ning back into the house, then turned around and headed back to the garden.

Along the way, she kept thinking about what Madam Ning had said.

Since Madam Ning had already noticed her change, could it be that other people had also noticed?

She thought of Zhou Yu, the young but mature Zhou Yu. Ever since she was reborn, Zhou Yu's change had made her uneasy. Everything reminded her that she had to get what she wanted as soon as possible.

She didn't want to have anything to do with that person anymore, so she could only let herself be valued by the royal family and couldn't even be easily moved by them.

Su Wanrou understood that this could only be done with the help of the hearts of the people.

After a few days of preparation, Su Wanrou felt that it was necessary to hire a teacher. She had an extraordinary memory, and although it couldn't be said that she had photographic memory, it was more or less there.

And now, there were many things that just reading couldn't make her feel any improvement. Since she was determined to be proficient in the art of zither, chess and painting, she naturally had to be taught by others.

Gu Su was very busy every day, and it didn't seem like it would be easy for her to take care of things in the pavilion.

As for Chu Yun, he had disappeared during the day and returned at night to stand guard on the rooftop. It seemed that part of the mansion belonged to him.

Su Wanrou was delighted when she heard that the Wind Moon Restaurant sounded like a place filled with fireworks, but that was not the case. In fact, the Wind Moon Restaurant was one of the largest restaurants in Jiangnan, and the Mister Gao was a woman in her twenties who was rumored to have become a widow long time ago.

Her original identity was the only daughter of the current emperor's tutor.

The emperor's tutor had also taught the crown prince, but he had already passed on. This woman had been studying hard since childhood, and her ability to learn more was no less than her own father's. She had always loved to live in the martial arts world, so she had been transferred to the Windy Moon Restaurant to be a zither master.

Su Wanrou changed into men's attire and sneaked out through the side door. Today, Mister Gao was resting in an inn and would leave tomorrow after performing in the capital. She knew that this Mister Gao did not like to be disturbed so she could only look for someone today.

Touching the items in her arms, a smile appeared on Su Wanrou's face. This was the last resort of her negotiations with Mister Gao, and she believed that he would definitely agree to her request.

Su Wanrou froze when she stepped into this inn. How could she not know that the commoners loved to eat at this inn?

However, when they took a closer look, everyone's gaze would glance at a private room upstairs from time to time. They understood that they were all looking at Mr. Gao, but that was right. Mr. Gao was also a beauty, so he naturally couldn't be short of attention.

It just so happened that because of these people, she didn't have to ask which room they were in and just started walking up.

The rooms were very interesting. On the other side of the corridor, there was a small window that was propped up by bamboo, making it look quite elegant, allowing the air in the room to circulate. However, very few people would look out at this kind of window, since it was a very rude action.

Su Wanrou inadvertently glanced over and her eyes widened as she hurriedly hid herself. There was another person sitting in Mr. Gao's room, and from Su Wanrou's angle, she could only see his back.

However, it still made her shocked. She would never misjudge this person in her life. It was obviously Crown Prince Zhou Yu!

But why would the crown prince come out and look at his clothes, or visit him privately?

Su Wanrou could only hide to the side and eavesdrop. She didn't want to go in now and meet Zhou Yu.

"I appreciate your kindness, Crown Prince. Please go back!" Mr. Gao's voice was soft and melodious, carrying the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman, but the words he spoke were firm.

"Is Mr. Gao not going to think about it? If there is anything else you are not satisfied with, Mister Gao, please say so and I will do my best to fulfill your request. " Zhou Yu frowned and refused to give up.

"No, thank you." "No," Mr. Gao said flatly, still refusing.

Su Wanrou didn't know what the two were talking about. Suddenly, she heard the sound of someone coming out from the corridor. She felt helpless. She could see everything clearly and there was nowhere for her to hide.

At this critical moment, Su Wanrou hurriedly opened the door of the other room and rushed in. She waved her hands at the people who were eating inside and whispered, "I'm sorry, but I'll take the chance to hide for a bit. The two of you continue eating, don't worry about me!"

The two men who were eating: "…"
