After leaving the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel’s Mansion, Su Yang went to the bustling street.

Young Master Zhou and the others were still at the restaurant and hadn’t left.

The servant stood by the window, saw Su Yang riding a horse, and hurriedly said, "The Prince Consort is coming."

The three rushed to the window and saw Su Yang riding a horse through the market, looking handsome and impressive.

Young Master Zheng pulled Young Master Zhou and Eldest Young Master Sun behind him, then leaped and jumped out of the window.

Young Master Zhou and Eldest Young Master Sun also jumped down one after another.

They were all curious about the result of Su Yang’s mission to persuade the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

It concerned their father’s prospects, so they couldn’t ignore it.

If they could really bring the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel into their camp, it would undoubtedly give their fathers peace of mind, and they would also see them in a friendlier light.

Young Master Zhou stepped forward, Su Yang took out a jade pendant from his chest and threw it to him.

Young Master Zhou caught it casually and asked, "Brother Su, what are you giving me the jade pendant for?"

"This is the engagement jade pendant for you and Third Miss Li from the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel," Su Yang said with a smile.

"Congratulations."

Young Master Zhou was stunned.

The big pie falling from the sky directly knocked him out.

He... got engaged?

He, a son of a minor Capital Governor, was engaged to the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?

"Brother Su isn’t joking with me?" Young Master Zhou said incredulously.

Su Yang had a look of "I can joke with you, but can I joke with Third Miss Li?"

Only then did Young Master Zhou dare to believe that it was not a joke.

Young Master Zheng and Eldest Young Master Sun were both envious and jealous.

"Why did the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel choose you, Brother Zhou?" The two asked in unison.

Su Yang dismounted and splashed a cold basin of water on the three of them, "The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has no particular impression of any of you."

"The reason he chose Brother Zhou was because he favored his father."

Young Master Zhou, "...."

Young Master Zheng, "...."

Eldest Young Master Sun, "...."

"Were we held back by our own fathers?" Young Master Zheng looked at Eldest Young Master Sun, his voice floating with unease.

"...."

Su Yang patted the shoulders of the two and said, "Alright, you two don’t need to be too envious."

"Once this task is completed, the Emperor will surely reuse your fathers, and they will be able to rise in status quickly."

"Maybe by then you’ll marry someone with an even higher status than Third Miss Li."

Su Yang wasn’t just saying empty words.

In an instant, Young Master Zheng and Eldest Young Master Sun were no longer envious of Young Master Zhou.

The two congratulated Young Master Zhou, who was quite embarrassed.

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel had little impression of him, yet Brother Su proposed, and he agreed. It felt too hasty.

Yes.

It was indeed a bit hasty, especially since the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel’s wife rushed to find the Minister to protest after hearing about it.

She didn’t know what kind of character Young Master Zhou had; just by status, he was merely a son of a Capital Governor.

Even though the Prince Consort proposed, she couldn’t lose face, but she couldn’t just casually promise her daughter’s hand in marriage, could she?!

The daughter she raised dearly, she absolutely disagreed!

The wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was very anxious, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel looked at her and said, "Can I not care for my daughter?"

"Like attracts like."

"The Prince Consort is the son of the Daiqi East Town Marquis, Young Master Zhou can befriend him, he must have extraordinary qualities."

"The Emperor entrusted the murder case of the Minister of Revenue’s nephew to the Prince Consort not just to trouble him, but also to uproot the entire faction of the Minister of Revenue."

"Mr. Zhou is presently just a minor Capital Governor, but with the backing of the Prince Consort, his future is limitless."

The wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel looked at her husband and said, "Can you really overturn the Minister of Revenue?"

"Looking at the Prince Consort, it doesn’t seem like he’s joking," the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel said.

The wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel wiped away her tears and said, "I don’t care, the daughter I have raised so dearly, you agreed to her marriage so hastily."

"Even though it’s unlikely for you to retract it, you must ensure our daughter’s happiness, or I’ll be very upset."

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel nodded repeatedly.

The wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel gave him a glare and strode out.

Outside the house, Third Miss Li happened to be there, hearing footsteps, she quickly led the maid away.

Her engagement with Young Master Zhou was decided at the front door, the maids and old women heard of it.

The engagement jade pendant had been prepared by Su Yang, one was given to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, one was taken away.

The maids all felt that the son of the Capital Governor was not worthy of their Third Miss, urgently reporting to Third Miss Li.

Third Miss Li hurried to the study, just in time to see her mother enter, then hid outside the room with the maid to eavesdrop.

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel’s words convinced his wife and also convinced his daughter.
