Chapter 175 Chu Hanlan wants to snatch Chu Hanfeng's marriage

Chu Hanlan was shocked by the reaction of her aunt, and she nodded immediately: "Yes! That's what she said."

"It seems that we were careless. There might be something about the Du family that we don't know about. What could it be?"

As expected of someone who came from the old lady's side, the eldest aunt knows a lot about the affairs in the rear house, and Chu Hanfeng's words are definitely not groundless.

There must be something, otherwise why would she, a legitimate daughter, marry into the Du family?

The Du family has nothing else except a miracle doctor? If she marries a miracle doctor, she might consider whether to let her daughter marry him.

But she was not willing to marry the brother of the miracle doctor. The old lady loved her and would naturally help them.

Chu Hanfeng dared to say such words blatantly, there must be something they didn't know. With a roll of her eyes, the eldest aunt sent the little maid beside her to the old lady's yard to inquire for news.

Not long after, the little girl came back and told her: "I didn't hear anything else, but I heard one sentence, saying that Doctor Du is a girl."

"What?" The eldest aunt stood up suddenly, as if she had missed a mountain of gold. "Did you hear it clearly?"

"Yes! I heard it clearly." The little girl didn't dare to lie and told everything she heard, "The old lady said that when she was calculating what kind of gifts to give to the man's family."

"What did she say?"

The eldest aunt was extremely anxious. If Doctor Du was a girl, she should not have rejected the marriage proposal. Everyone in Liang County knew that Doctor Du was treating the son of the Marquis of Pingyang.

If things go well, Doctor Du will definitely enter the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. With her support, the Du family will definitely be able to get back on their feet.

And she was able to stand very steadily, without any shaking. Why was she so stupid? The old lady's first thought was her daughter, so why did she refuse?

The little girl imitated the old lady's tone: "She said that the Du family has three sons and two daughters, so they should not be treated lightly. Especially the eldest sister-in-law, Doctor Du, should not be treated with disrespect."

"What?" After hearing what the little girl said, the eldest aunt's face turned extremely bad. She fell into the chair in a daze, "It's over, it's over, Lan'er! We have lost a good marriage!"

Chu Hanlan didn't understand: "Aunt! Why do you say that? What's good about the Du family's marriage? What's good about it?"

"You don't understand, Lan'er! With your background, it's the best that you can find a marriage like the Du family." The eldest aunt's face was unsightly, and she held her forehead with her hand, "You don't know, if Doctor Du was a girl, and she was the one who cured the son of Marquis Pingyang, she would definitely serve in the mansion in the future.

With her intelligence and talent, it will be easy for her to gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion. Even if she is not eligible for the position of the Crown Prince's Consort, she will always be able to become a concubine."

Du Wanwan: “???”

Can you please stop thinking of me as such a loser? Can't you guess higher? Concubine? Who do you think I am?

Chu Hanlan immediately understood what her aunt meant. If Doctor Du became the concubine of Marquis Pingyang, her family would surely benefit from it.

She entered the Du family, which was equivalent to entering the circle of noble ladies in Liangjun City. Thinking about it this way, she really lost a good marriage.

With her background, it was impossible for a rich family to marry her as the principal wife. At most, they would marry her as a concubine. If she entered the Du family, she would definitely be the principal wife, and there was no way she could be a concubine.

"Aunt! The matter has not been settled yet. Let's go to the old lady's courtyard right away. This marriage cannot fall on the eldest sister, it must fall on me. The eldest sister is two years older than the second son of the Du family. If the person is changed to me, the Du family will definitely be happy."

The eldest aunt felt that her daughter's words were very right, so she immediately cheered up, changed her clothes, tidied herself up, and took Chu Hanlan to the old lady's yard.

Without waiting for anyone to report, the mother and daughter rushed in and knelt in front of the old lady.

"Madam! Lan'er has thought it through. She is willing to marry into the Du family."

Chu Hanlan also cried and said, "Grandma! Lan'er is willing to share the worries of the Chu family and is willing to marry into the Du family."

Chu Hanfeng smiled faintly: "Are you willing? Have you thought it through?"

"Yes!" Chu Hanlan knelt on the ground and nodded continuously, "I've made up my mind. I can marry into the Du family."

"Didn't you say that the Du family are pariahs who fled from famine?" Chu Hanfeng still smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm, "Didn't you say that pariahs are not worthy of you?"

Chu Hanlan was choked and speechless. She looked up and glared at Chu Hanfeng: "Sister, you deliberately framed me. You clearly knew that Doctor Du was a woman and would become a concubine in the Pingyang Marquis's mansion in the future."

"Shut up!" The old man of the Chu family kicked Chu Hanlan to the ground. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you can interfere in Doctor Du's affairs? Do you have the final say on whether she goes to Pingyang Marquis' Mansion or not? What if she doesn't go?"

The eldest aunt hugged the shivering Chu Hanlan and instantly understood what the master and the old lady meant. They were not completely sure that Doctor Du would be able to enter the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

If she can't get in, then this marriage is a gamble. But Chu Hanfeng has always had a good eye. Although she has been ill and has a bad reputation over the years, she has a very good eye for investment.

No matter what she does or what makes money, she is sure that she will do it right. Since everyone is betting, she will also take a chance.

"Master! Madam! Lan'er has made up her mind. Even if Doctor Du cannot enter the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion in the future, she is willing to accept this marriage. After all, it is to repay our Chu family. I believe that Master and Madam will not treat Lan'er unfairly."

The old lady sneered. She knew what the eldest aunt was thinking. She just wanted a generous dowry. But the matchmaker said clearly that this marriage was for the eldest granddaughter. Would the Du family agree to a change of person?

If I don't agree, wouldn't that mean I'm not marrying the Du family, but making enemies?

"Lan'er! Grandma can't agree to this with you." The old lady rejected Chu Hanlan's unreasonable behavior, "I did ask you at the beginning, but you said that grandma harmed you.

Now the matchmaker has already made an agreement with the Du family that the person to be married is Feng Er. How are we going to explain to the Du family if you interfere?"

The old man of the Chu family glared at her: "Doctor Du is someone who can be easily offended? If you offend her, you also want our Chu family to be in turmoil, right?"

Chu Hanlan cried and shook her head: "Dad! I didn't, I didn't. I was just young at the time and didn't think so far ahead. Unlike my elder sister, who thinks about these things all day long."

"How dare you!" The old lady pointed her finger at Chu Hanlan angrily, "What do you mean by that? Are you blaming your grandmother and your father? This marriage was not planned by your eldest sister, but by your grandmother."

Seeing that the concubine's daughter had angered her mother, the Chu family's master was furious and ran away: "Someone! Send this mother and daughter back."

Chu Hanfeng looked at her coldly, with sneer still on her lips, her gaze stayed on Chu Hanlan's face until she was pulled away by the maid in the old lady's yard.

The old lady shook her head and sighed: "It's unfortunate for our family! If this gets out, where will our Chu family put their face?"
