Chapter 484: Playing rogue

However, a year has almost passed, and Mrs. Sun has no idea who the better husband candidate is that Zhu Yingyan is talking about, and no man has come to the Zhu Mansion to propose marriage to Zhu Yingyan.

This year, Zhu Yingyan is over 18 and will be 19 years old.

Thinking about Zhu Dingxing who just died, Mrs. Sun feels more and more that Zhu Yingyan's situation is very dangerous.

"Yan'er, when you are angry about where I live, shouldn't you consider that you have to observe mourning for your father after his death?"

Generally speaking, mourning for three years means that Zhu Yingyan will not get married within three years.

Not only Zhu Yingyan, but also Zhu Shijie and others.

The problem is that Zhu Yingyan is too old to be in a hurry to get married. Zhu Shijie and the others, especially Zhu Songyan, are still young, so the three years of filial piety is not a problem at all.

If Zhu Yingyan wants to observe the mourning period, she will be 21 years old by the time she finishes it.

How will Zhu Yingyan cope with it then?

Will the better candidate in her mind wait for three years before getting married?

Or, after three years, Zhu Yingyan will become the other party's concubine at the "old" age of 21?

No matter which one it is, Madam Sun thinks it is unlikely.

It doesn't make sense for the daughter of the Zhu family to be a concubine, not to the prince.

Madam Sun doesn't have similar thoughts about Zhu Songyan, and she will definitely not let her own daughter become a concubine.

Zhu Yingyan: "..."

She was furious that Zhu Dingxing only wanted to tell Zhu Xuntao everything before he died, but never even looked at her.

Then she heard that Zhu Xuntao had arbitrarily decided on the heir of the Zhu Mansion without her consent,

and finally, under the stimulation of Madam Sun's move away, she was so angry that she didn't care about anything else.

When Madam Sun mentioned this, Zhu Yingyan woke up, and her marriage became the biggest problem!

Three years?

Not to mention three years, she couldn't even afford to delay for a year.

If possible, she wished she could marry that man within three months!

Zhu Yingyan stumbled away with a pale face, and she was in a state of disarray and looked miserable.

Zhu Yingyan had already left, and Zhu Xuntao was not willing to stay there

. She only left a message to Madam Sun, telling her that whenever she wanted to move over, she should remember to send a message to the Marquis' Mansion. Then, accompanied by Zhu Huo and Qiuyue, she got on the carriage back to the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as the curtain was lowered, Qiuyue seemed to have lost her soul: "Princess, the old man... the old man died just like that?"

"Didn't you see it all?"

Zhu Xuntao sighed. Such an infuriating scumbag father died so quickly, without even a day's delay.

So, could it be that someone really wanted to kill her scumbag father

in order to create the opportunity for her to go to the Marquis' Mansion today?

Zhu Xuntao advised herself not to think too much.

Even if she guessed right, and she and her scumbag father did cause a farce of "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me",

she shouldn't put the blame on herself. The only one who was wrong was the murderer.

"Prince's Consort, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

Zhu Huo thoughtfully put a cup of hot tea into Zhu Xuntao's hand.

In today's situation, Zhu Xuntao acted calm, as if she had the whole situation under control. Zhu Huo knew that her prince's consort must be feeling bad.

Those people in the Zhu Mansion are too troublesome and greedy. They are really annoying.

"Crown Princess, it's been so long, are you hungry?"

Zhu Huo found a box of cakes, opened it and pushed it in front of Zhu Xuntao,

"If you are hungry, Crown Princess may eat a few pieces to fill your stomach, but you can't be hungry."

Crown Princess is now eating for one person and supplementing for two people, the big and the small, neither of them can be hungry.

Biting the sweet cakes and drinking the warm tea that warms up the body, Zhu Xuntao feels much more comfortable:

"You...Zhu Huo, is your original name really Zhou Cao?

Zhu Huo smiled at Zhu Xuntao: "I just have a little impression of the name Zhou Cao, and I am not sure if I am Zhou Cao."

"If Crown Princess likes this name, you can also call me Zhou Cao."

"But compared to Zhou Cao, I like the name given to me by Crown Princess the most. "

What grass or flower? Such names are most common in the countryside.

When Zhuhuo heard the word "grass", she felt particularly uncomfortable,

as if she was a weed on the roadside that was trampled by anyone.

Her name is not Zhoucao, her name is Zhuhuo!

"Zhuhuo is a good name, Zhoucao is not. We only call her Zhuhuo, not Zhoucao. "

Patting Zhuhuo's little hand, Zhu Xuntao tried hard to kick the name "Zhou Cao" out of her mind.

The novel mentioned how miserable Zhou Cao's experience was.

It was probably to arrange Zhu Yingyan to be Zhou Cao's redemption, so the less miserable Zhou Cao was, the less likely Zhu Yingyan's halo of the heroine would be shown

. Zhu Xuntao didn't want to remember the first half of Zhou Cao's life in the book at all.

Zhu Yingyan said that there were scars on Zhou Cao's right arm from being bitten by wild dogs, but her Zhuhuo did not.

That year, when Zhuhuo was about to starve to death and was eaten by wild dogs, she picked up the intact Zhuhuo and raised him to this age today.

Therefore, her Zhuhuo is just Zhuhuo, and it has nothing to do with the Zhoucao in Zhu Yingyan's mouth!

"Princess, you are back. Is Master Zhu all right?"

As soon as the servants of the Marquis' Mansion saw Zhu Xuntao coming back, they eagerly stepped forward to help her pull the carriage and also asked about Zhu Dingxing's situation.

Zhu Xuntao: "...My father is gone..."

This question was really accurate.

The servant: "..." He seemed to have said the wrong thing.

Not long after, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion also received the news of Zhu Dingxing's death. The stunned old lady Sheng even didn't say a word for a long time.

Nanny Song comforted Madam Sheng: "Don't think too much, Madam. Master Zhu is...unlucky to have met an assassin. Otherwise, it would be impossible..."

Madam Sheng came to her senses: "It's okay. Don't comfort me. I'm not feeling sorry for Zhu Dingxing."

"Old man Zhu died early. Even though Zhu Dingxing lived less than Old man Zhu, Old man Zhu didn't experience the pain of sending off a young person."

Old man Zhu really didn't think highly of his son Zhu Dingxing and often scolded him for being a coward.

But no matter how angry he was, could Old man Zhu still be willing to watch his own son die before him?

What's more, for Taotao, Zhu Dingxing was dead...

Never mind. He was dead. It's not a good or bad thing.

"Taotao is still young, she can observe mourning, but you don't have to be too strict, just about right is fine."

Mourning lasts for three years, one year at the longest and three months at the shortest, and people who observe mourning are not allowed to eat meat.

Normally, Zhu Xuntao can do it.

But she is pregnant, and both adults and children need nutrition. Not eating meat will easily cause trouble.

"Don't worry, old lady, everyone knows what's going on, and will never wrong the Crown Prince's Consort."

It is precisely because Lord Zhu is dead that everyone doesn't say too much.

Lord Zhu has never treated the Crown Prince's Consort well, so why should the Crown Prince's Consort do so much for Lord Zhu.
