Almost a month had passed, and Shangguan Ruixi was growing desperate. He headed to Prince Rui's mansion, only to find it empty. Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er had gone on a long trip.

Shangguan Ruixi wished he could send someone immediately to bind and bring back the couple who had made a fool of him!

If he couldn't wed a bride, he wanted Shangguan Xuanyi to compensate him for it - with a bride!

Shangguan Ruixi returned to Prince An's Mansion in low spirits, but ran into a distant cousin of Princess Consort An who was visiting with her children.

The cousin's son was fair and handsome with bright eyes and white teeth. He had even better skin than his sister! If Xiao'er saw him, she would definitely call him a snack!

An idea seeped into the mind of Shangguan Ruixi. Heaven was indeed on his side! He strode forward, took the young man's hand with delight and exclaimed, "Mother, who is this charming young man? He's very handsome!"

The room fell silent.
