Chapter 233 Chu Hanlan also wants to marry Du Wenjun, letting him marry his wife and concubine
This news really made him dizzy and he didn't know what was involved. Should he tell the prince this news?
This matter concerns the emperor's reputation. If he were to speak out, it would simply embarrass the prince. That was something his father had done, how could he intervene?
After waiting for a while, seeing that the lights in Jin Wenhao's room went out, Ye Tingxiao gently stood up, picked up Du Wanwan, jumped into the air, and flew away.
Silently, no one knew someone had left the roof.
Even though Jin Wenhao was known as the Jade-faced Shura in the martial arts world, he was unable to detect Ye Tingxiao's actions. It was because his body movements were strange and his lightness skills had reached the pinnacle, unmatched in the world.
Back at the People's Clinic, Ye Tingxiao floated down from the patio, carrying someone into the house. He put Du Wanwan down, looking dazed and as if he had been frightened.
Du Wanwan looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? Am I too heavy? Are you tired of carrying me around? Here's a glass of water."
As soon as she finished her words, a cup filled with clear water appeared in her hand. Ye Tingxiao picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wan Wan! The life story of the King of Qi is very strange. Do you think I should tell the Crown Prince?"
"It's better not to do it for now." Du Wanwan gave Ye Tingxiao a suggestion, "This matter concerns the royal secrets. The person who died that year came back to life and became the favored concubine of the Northern Kingdom.
If the emperor finds out that you leaked this information, and you can't provide strong evidence, will he let you go easily? The King of Qi wants to fight the Crown Prince. It's right for us to help the Crown Prince, but we have to see what it is. We don't have to tell him everything."
Ye Tingxiao, who was in a confused mood, closed his eyes and calmed himself down slowly. He felt that what his wife Wanwan said was right.
"This is a serious matter. I was thinking wrongly." He opened his eyes and finally calmed down. "Royal secrets should not be revealed by us. Wanwan! You reminded me well. I will listen to you.
As long as the King of Qi doesn't get the crossbow blueprint, he won't be able to defeat the Crown Prince. The crossbow blueprint is in our hands. As long as we hold it well and take precautions, it won't be easy for the King of Qi to get it even if he wants to."
"It's enough for you to know. It's getting late. Go back and get some rest! I want to sleep."
"good!"
Ye Tingxiao kissed Du Wanwan on the forehead, went out, flew out of the courtyard, and went to the county magistrate's mansion.
The next day, the King of Qi came in person, bought five bottles of medicine, gave 50,000 taels of silver, and left Liangjun City in a dejected mood.
Apart from finding a good medicine to relieve pain, he did not gain any benefit from this trip. He lost gold and silver and a black old demon with extremely high martial arts skills. It was a big loss.
There was no point in staying any longer, so he should hurry back to the capital! That was his home ground, where he could do things smoothly, unlike Liangjun City, where he was hit head-on, making him see stars and unable to stand steadily.
As soon as King Qi left, Du Wanwan's life returned to its former peace. She saw patients during the day and flew around with Ye Tingxiao at night.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the day for Chu Hanfeng and Du Wenjun to get married. The People's Medical Clinic is closed for three days.
Knowing that the Du family was going to have a wedding, everyone in Liangjun City came to congratulate them. Those who had money gave a red envelope, and those who didn't had money gave something nice from their own families.
There were all kinds of vegetables, chicken, duck, beef, pork, and mutton. Du Jiang and Yao Meixian refused several times but it was useless. Everyone was still enthusiastic and lined up to give gifts.
Du Wanwan is not stingy either. She gives half a pound of sugar to anyone who gives her a gift, no matter what it is.
The big red envelope contains a pound of sugar.
White sugar is a rare commodity, and it is sold for five taels of silver per pound in Liangjun City. Ordinary poor people simply cannot afford it, and it is a delicacy eaten by the rich.
The People's Medical Clinic gave this as a return gift, which shows how much it cares about everyone. They know that they are reluctant to buy it, so they take this opportunity to show them kindness.
The Chu family was also very lively. Early in the morning, Chu Hanfeng was called up to wash and dress up.
Today is her good day, she has to dress up beautifully.
Du Wenjun's business is now quite big. He leads a large group of people and opens workshops one after another. He produces precious things that are not available in Liangjun City, or even in the entire Wei and the other four countries.
Grandmother and father kept praising him for his ability, and Chu Hanfeng's face lit up. This time, the dowry was prepared by grandmother and father, and everything was prepared except for the servants.
A few days ago, Chu Hanlan secretly blocked her in the garden, crying and shouting that she wanted to enter the Du family and be her man's mistress.
At that time, she was so angry that she laughed and asked, "Sister Lan, how could you forget what I said that day? If one day you beg to enter the Du family, I will not agree."
After saying that, she didn't even look at Chu Hanlan, and turned away. Today was her wedding day, and she didn't know if Chu Hanlan would come out to cause trouble.
Even if she did, she was not afraid. The Du family had a strict family tradition and would never take concubines. Du Wenjun would only marry her in his life. Chu Hanlan wanted to marry him as a concubine? It was impossible.
Let her make a scene if she wants to. Anyway, she is the one who is embarrassed, not you.
Chu Hanfeng's guess was quite accurate. Chu Hanlan was really planning to marry herself today and marry Du Wenjun, allowing him to have both his wives and concubines.
During this period, she pretended to be very well-behaved, constantly playing the victim and pitiful in front of the old lady to win her sympathy, seek her forgiveness, release her from house arrest, and even pretended to agree to the marriage that the old lady had found for her.
As soon as the old lady's people left, she got angry in the house: "What do you mean by feeling sorry for me? It's nothing but humiliating me in various ways. The Du family didn't let me go, but made me marry a poor scholar, and he's my legitimate wife, and they think I'm precious.
How can a poor family's wife be as comfortable as a rich family's concubine? The wife is just a fancy name."
Humph! They didn't let her go, but she insisted on going. She thought that by begging Chu Hanfeng, she could enter the Du family.
I didn't expect that she would mock me, saying that I couldn't enter the Du family without her nod. Today, I will let her see how I can swagger into the Du family.
She was determined to snatch Du Wenjun away, no matter what the cost, she had to snatch him away. First, she wanted to save face, and second, she couldn't stand Chu Hanfeng's arrogant look.
Ever since she recovered from her illness, her life has been going more and more smoothly. Not only does the old lady dote on her, but even her father and stepmother dote on her.
It is said that she did not bring her maids with her when she got married, so her family converted the maids into silver and let her take them with her. The Du family is now the new nobles of Liang County, and many aristocratic families are trying to curry favor with them.
Du Wenjun is also capable. He has developed many profitable businesses and takes good care of the Chu family. His father tells everyone that it is all thanks to Chu Hanfeng.
If she also entered the Chu family, would her father also feel that he was benefiting from her? As daughters of the Chu family, why was Chu Hanfeng the only one who could contribute to the family?
Could it be that she, Chu Hanlan, has no ability to win over men and bring honor to her family?
