Chapter 110: Can’t afford to play with Zhenbei Hou?
Zhao family.
When the Zhao family learned that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were coming, they started preparing to welcome them early in the morning, and they prepared all kinds of things that Xie Yao and the others would like.
Hearing that the carriage from the Prince's Mansion was about to arrive, all the Zhao family members, except the old man and the old lady, came to the door to greet them.
Soon, the Zhao family welcomed a team of horse-drawn carriages.
Mrs. Zhao smiled, then asked in confusion, "Why do I feel like this carriage doesn't belong to the Crown Prince's Mansion?"
Father Zhao nodded, "It seems not to be..."
Zhao Ying looked at it and his face suddenly darkened.
The haunting!
The carriage from Princess Yongle's mansion stopped in front of the Zhao family's gate, and Pei Chen, Marquis of Zhenbei, was the first to jump off the carriage.
His eyes swept over Zhao Ying, and then he stood straight like a sword, introducing himself in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Hello, Uncle, Aunt."
"My name is Pei Chen. I'm twenty-three this year. I've been in the army for ten years. I'm currently the Marquis of Zhenbei. I only have a mother at home..."
"My Lord!"
Zhao Ying almost gnashed her teeth as she interrupted Pei Chen's self-introduction and said concisely, "Dad, Mom, the Marquis of Zhenbei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are good friends."
"I came here today to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yeah?
Mrs. Zhao and Zhao's father looked at each other and felt that something was not right.
Who would go to their best friend’s uncle’s house and the first thing they do is announce their background?
Pei Chen met Zhao Ying's eyes, "...Yes."
When Xie Yao and Xiao Ji arrived, what they saw was this ridiculous scene.
The servants of the Princess's Mansion were currently unloading several carts of gifts brought by Pei Chen, and they were busy...
Xie Yao was confused for a moment and whispered to Xiao Ji, "Is this a marriage proposal?"
Xiao Ji laughed, but still defended Pei Chen, "I wouldn't be so stingy when proposing marriage."
There are many gifts delivered today.
But for Pei Chen...it’s really not much.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Princess." When the Zhao family saw Xie Yao, they rushed forward as if they had seen a savior.
Welcome everyone into the mansion.
Madam Zhao then whispered to Xie Yao, "Crown Princess, please talk to His Highness and ask the Marquis to take all these things back."
"These gifts are too heavy."
Women are always more perceptive. Although Zhao Ying didn't say anything, Mrs. Zhao still noticed something was wrong.
This man seems to be upright and powerful, and everyone in Beijing wants him.
But she didn't want to.
The difference in their family backgrounds was too great, and she didn't want her daughter to suffer any injustice.
Xie Yao understood Mrs. Zhao's love for her daughter, and she also felt warm in her heart, "Don't worry, aunt, I will tell her about this matter."
"But Auntie also needs to ask Sister Ying what she thinks."
Mrs. Zhao nodded. "That's right. Ying'er has always had her own opinions."
After paying her respects to Old Madam Zhao, Xie Yao returned to her courtyard to rest. Usually at this time, Zhao Ying would have come to accompany her.
But today no one came.
Zhao Ying was stopped by Pei Chen.
“Pei Chen!” Zhao Ying was so angry that he stopped calling him “Marquis of Zhenbei” and just called him by his name. The anger in his eyes was finally no longer suppressed. “What exactly do you want to do?”
Pei Chen looked calm and said to Zhao Ying, "Responsible."
He has said it many times.
"Be responsible, take responsibility. Take responsibility for your uncle's actions!" Zhao Ying has traveled all over the country for many years and knows a little bit about everything.
Pei Chen was silent for a moment, still serious, "I don't have an uncle."
"I will take the responsibility that I should take."
Zhao Ying: “…”
She wanted to curse.
She took a deep breath, then laughed in anger, and looked at Pei Chen and said, "Why? Can't the Marquis of Zhenbei afford to play?"
What?
There was a bit of confusion in Pei Chen's eyes.
"It was just a look at the body." Zhao Ying said nonchalantly, "If you insist on being responsible for this, then My Lord, go get in line."
“There are so many people I’m responsible for.”
Pei Chen was shocked.
But he quickly said, "You didn't." Don't try to lie to him.
Zhao Ying frowned immediately, "Are you checking me?"
"The Zhao family motto." Pei Chen said, "No need to check."
Zhao Ying choked, then said, "I'm rebellious."
"I have been doing business outside for many years, and I did it without my family's knowledge..."
"Miss Zhao." Pei Chen interrupted Zhao Ying. He was tall, with a resolute face and evil eyes. "If you want to reject me, you don't have to find these reasons."
"There's no need to tarnish your own reputation."
Meeting Pei Chen's eyes, Zhao Ying's heart trembled slightly, but she quickly said, "Okay, I reject you."
Pei Chen's answer was even quicker, "I don't accept it."
Zhao Ying laughed angrily.
Playing with her?!
Zhao Ying turned around and left, no longer wanting to pay any attention to this psychopath Pei Chen.
Pei Chen was about to follow when he heard a maid's voice in the distance, "My Lord, His Highness is looking for you."
Pei Chen could only watch Zhao Ying walk away.
Zhao Ying went straight to Xie Yao's yard and calmed her slightly frantic heartbeat.
After entering the door and meeting Xie Yao's eyes, Zhao Ying dismissed everyone and said directly: "When we were in Nanzhou, weren't Pei Chen and I washed away by the water?"
Xie Yao nodded, she guessed it was also at that time.
She silently poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying took the water and drank it all. "It was at that time that Pei Chen was injured and had a fever while trying to protect me."
"It was out in the wilderness at that time, so it was inevitable... Anyway, that's how it was."
It wasn't that they crossed the line, it was just some physical contact, she didn't take it seriously, but Pei Chen rushed to do it...
Is the market situation of Zhenbeihou so bad?
Sticking to her.
Zhao Ying became angrier as he spoke. He drank another glass of water, put the cup down, and met Xie Yao's smiling eyes.
Zhao Ying was annoyed, "Yaoyao!"
Xie Yao said seriously: "Sister Ying, have you ever thought that it is the Zhenbei Marquis who has deep feelings for you..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhao Ying interrupted Xie Yao with a chill all over her body, "Yaoyao, you've changed!"
Xie Yao's eyebrows curved, but she still said: "Sister Ying, don't belittle yourself, you are very outstanding and dazzling."
Zhao Ying pursed her lips, her expression moved, "Yaoyao, only you think I'm good."
She had heard countless bad things while she was out there doing business. They all said she was not a good woman. A woman who traveled outside had slept with countless men...
Zhao Ying was also sad at first, but later she didn't care anymore.
But Xie Yao's praise still touched her.
She also took it more seriously and commented: "Pei Chen... is a clean man, looks good, and has a simple family background... everything is good."
"It's just too good." Zhao Ying said: "Yaoyao, I can't give up my business for him."
She loves doing business and making money.
How could she not feel Pei Chen's sincere pursuit? She was only eighteen years old when the young boy Mu Ai came to her, how could she not be touched at all?
But that little bit of disturbance was quickly suppressed by her.
She was too clear-headed and knew exactly what she wanted.
Compared to her love.
Pei Chen is destined to be abandoned.
Xie Yao reached out and hugged Zhao Ying, "Sister Ying, no matter what you want to do, I support you."
Zhao Ying hugged Xie Yao back, "Yaoyao is the best."
Not long after the two sisters finished chatting, Zhu Qing hurried in from outside and said with an unpleasant expression: "Crown Princess, I just received news."
"Your Majesty has fainted again. Your Highness and the Marquis have already entered the palace."
Xie Yao frowned. Fainted again?
What's wrong with the emperor's health?
The prince of the previous life was gone, but he was still alive...
