Choice Husband 择君记 Episode 13

General Qin Zuze returned to the court suddenly, and he came back under the banner of the Qing emperor. When Pei Yanzhen heard what he said in the court hall, he knew in his heart why the other party returned. Shen Miao devoted herself to getting her son Shen Xiao to practice martial arts, and invited several instructors for him, but Shen Xiao deliberately left them in a fit of anger. Finally, she finally found a instructor. When the clever Shen Xiao saw Shen Miao turning her head away, she fell down. Pretending to be dizzy made Shen Miao think that he was tired from practicing martial arts. Song Xiyuan came to see Xiao'er in the mansion and asked people to bring many supplements. He has always been very generous to Xiao'er. Xiao'er only wanted to eat bayberry, Shen Miao let Song Xiyuan take Xiao'er to eat bayberry.

Pei Yanzhen told Zhan Yue that the emperor was going to give him a marriage, and Zhan Yue was frowning. He actually had no intentions for Princess Nine. Later Pei Yanzhen asked about the recent situation of Shen Miao's mother and son, Zhan Yue said that they were doing well, but Qin Zuze secretly sent many people to Lingzhou City to do business near Shen's shop. Soon it will be Shen Xiao's birthday, Pei Yanzhen decided to return to Lingzhou, in order to avoid trouble, he told Zhan Yue to hide his tracks. Shen Miao's mother and son followed Song Xiyuan back from picking red bayberries and met Pei Yanzhen on the road, whose carriage wheels got stuck in the mud. Shen Miao did not speak to him, but afterwards she always recalled the woman standing beside Pei Yanzhen.

In Lingzhou City opened a restaurant called Author's, which robbed the Shen family of a lot of business. Shen Miao invited Jiu Gongzhu to check on the other party's way of doing business, but Jiu Gongzhu happened to see Zhan Yue peeking at the restaurant outside. Regarding the internal situation, she completely forgot about the agreement with Shen Miao. Shen Miao disguised herself as a man and waited left and right, but she couldn't wait for the Ninth Princess, so she could only pretend to be a wine delivery boy, and delivered wine to the wing room, and overheard the Shen family's seal and other words at the door. Shen Miao who was not good at hiding was discovered and was rescued by the masked Pei Yanzhen. Shen Miao instinctively thought that this masked man was Pei Yanzhen, but she did not quite believe it because Pei Yanzhen did not know martial arts in her eyes.

Zhan Yue returned to the mansion and told Pei Yanzhen that he had been tripped by Princess Nine. Pei Yanzhen said that the restaurant was really used to frame the Shen family, and the other party even forged the Shen family's seal and account books. Shen Miao was worried and went back to Shen Yuan to ask where her father's seal was. She was relieved only after seeing Shen Qian took out the real seal. On Shen Xiao's birthday, Song Xiyuan gave him a cat, and Pei Yanzhen gave him a jade pendant. The jade pendant looks old, but only Pei Yanzhen knows its value and function. Shen Miao guessed that Pei Yanzhen was the one who rescued her at the restaurant yesterday, and wanted to ask Pei Yanzhen the next day to find out, but Pei Yanzhen hurriedly left by boat.

When Pei Yanzhen returned to the capital, he told the court that someone was trying to frame the Shen family. In order to clear the relationship, Qin Zuze offered to ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation of the matter. The empress dowager was worried because of this, and Qin Zuze said that those were all dead soldiers of the Qin family, and in the end they could only prove that they were dead. Sure enough, before the court could find out anything, the wine shop was destroyed overnight. The Empress Dowager was instructed by Qin Zuze to marry Pei Yanzhen and Qin Miaozhen, the daughter of Qin Zuze. Pei Yanzhen was unwilling at first, but the emperor persuaded Pei Yanzhen to take over the marriage. Not long after, Qin Miaozhen returned to Lingzhou City by boat with Pei Yanzhen.

Shen Miao was waiting for Pei Yanzhen, but never thought that it was him and Qin Miaozhen who were waiting. Pei Yanzhen said something to Shen Miao against her will, which broke Shen Miao's heart. Tieniu brought Shen Miao in front of Song Xiyuan, Shen Miao was in a bad mood and had no interest in Song Xiyuan's jokes. Pei Yanzhen asked Zhan Yue about Shen Miao's situation, and Zhan Yue's words hit the nail on the head, he treated Shen Miao so much that the balance in Shen Miao's heart had already been tilted towards Song Xiyuan.
