The carriage procession moved slowly through the street, and Shen Jiaojiao peered curiously out the window through a small crack.
Just moments ago it was like a lazy kitten, but now it suddenly sits up curiously, its eyes gazing curiously at the world outside.
After a while, he seemed to get tired of looking at it and closed his eyes to stop.
Why did you stop watching? Chu Tianling's mind started to wander. Was it because he had seen even more magnificent scenes than this, and none of them could attract him anymore?
He lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
When Shen Jiaojiao transmigrated, she only had three days left before her wedding and needed to recuperate, so she had never gone out to explore the world herself.
This time, returning to her parents' home was the first time she truly saw the outside world. At first, she was quite curious, but after seeing it for a while, she got bored.
I still miss modern life.
Soon the sedan chair seemed to stop. Chu Tianling looked at Shen Jiaojiao, who still had her eyes closed, gently lifted the curtain, and got out to see what had happened.
The servant stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting, about to report, but Chu Tianling immediately raised his hand to stop him, placing his hand in front of his mouth as if to make a gesture, not wanting to disturb Shen Jiaojiao's rest.
Chu Tianling is 1.9 meters tall and has a slender build, but he exudes an extraordinary aura. Dressed in blue brocade, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he is as handsome as Pan An. He attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.
He slowly stepped forward and asked, "What happened? Why are you stuck in traffic?"
As everyone looked, they saw that the group behind them was indeed blocked.
Chu Tianling walked to the front to see what had happened. Since no one knew his identity, they did not bow. He was also afraid that the noise from their bowing would wake Jiaojiao.
Upon closer inspection, one sees a frail young boy kneeling on the ground, with a sign beside him that reads: "Selling myself to bury my father."
The crowd simply watched, and no one stepped forward.
Chu Tianling felt that being stuck in traffic was hindering his progress and didn't want to stay any longer. He threw down a sum of silver to the young man and said, "Take the money, bury your family, and leave!"
The boy looked at him with shining eyes and kowtowed three times. When he looked up, he realized the man was about to disappear, so he quickly chased after him.
"Benefactor! Benefactor! I will repay you after I have buried my father."
Chu Tianling turned around and looked at him fiercely, hissing, "Shut up! Don't say a word! I don't need your repayment. After the burial, take the extra money and live a good life. Don't come looking for me."
He truly did not wish to repay anyone. As the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, he had saved countless lives in the past. To him, this was merely his responsibility as the Crown Prince.
Now that he has Jiaojiao, his only worries are that this person might be blocking his way, and if he doesn't do things well, it will affect his impression of Jiaojiao. He also worries that if he makes too much noise, he might wake up his beloved.
He waved to the boy, signaling him to leave quickly.
The boy actually wanted to ask his benefactor's name, but the other party was clearly unwilling to say more, so he had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
"Hey! Over there! What's your name?" a sweet voice called out.
Chu Tianling ignored him, a surge of anger rising within him. What if he woke someone up by being so loud? He glanced cautiously at the curtain.
Seeing that the other party ignored her, the woman suddenly pulled out a red whip and lashed it at Chu Tianling.
Chu Tianling quickly jumped away to dodge the whip, which also put him further away from the carriage.
He glanced at the carriage first, and finding it quiet, he turned to look at the person who had arrived.
A woman dressed in a fiery red dress, holding a whip, looked at him with a pretty face. When he turned his head, she smiled brightly and continued to ask loudly, "Hey! I'm asking you, what's your name?"
Chu Tianling had no intention of arguing with him, nor did he want to argue with a woman. He lifted his foot to walk back to the car, wanting only to leave as soon as possible.
Chen Baozhu was the youngest daughter of Chen Taifu. Although he only had one wife, she was exceptionally fertile and gave birth to seven sons before finally having a daughter, whom he named Chen Baozhu.
She was the only daughter in her family, so she was spoiled from childhood to adulthood. Her seven older brothers also doted on her, which led to her having a domineering personality.
She happened to be strolling around outside today when she witnessed Chu Tianling kindly saving someone without asking for anything in return.
Most importantly, this person is stunningly beautiful and has an ethereal air about him; he's clearly not an ordinary person.
She had read in a storybook that if you meet someone you like, you must be quick, decisive, and ruthless in winning them over! Besides, it's as easy as a woman chasing a man.
So now that we've encountered this, we're determined to take it all in one go.
Seeing him turn to leave, Chen Baozhu stamped her foot, her face fell, and she shouted, "Hey! Don't go! I like you, will you marry me?"
Everyone on the street turned to look at Chen Baozhu.
Such a loud noise, we're in trouble!
Chu Tianling suddenly looked up, and sure enough, the curtain was lifted, revealing a small head that curiously glanced at Chen Baozhu, then at Chu Tianling, its eyes full of anticipation for a good show.
This was the first time Shen Jiaojiao had ever seen such a scene. Although the target was her husband, it didn't affect her enjoyment of the show at all!
Now that he was awake, Chu Tianling didn't bother to hold back any longer. He turned around and coldly refused, "Miss, I'm sorry, but I already have a wife. You should find someone else!"
Chen Baozhu shouted angrily, "How dare you refuse me! Do you know who I am?"
Chu Tianling was too lazy to talk to her. Looking at Shen Jiaojiao's gossipy expression, and her pathetic look as she stared at him, he almost laughed in exasperation. Did she expect him to do something? He sulked for a moment, then held back and decided to go back first.
Seeing that he was about to leave without saying a word, Chen Baozhu became unhappy again. She strode closer and said to Chu Tianling, "I am Chen Taifu's daughter, Chen Baozhu!"
My father is the teacher of the King of the Great Xia Kingdom, and I have seven older brothers!
My eldest brother is a general, and he's currently stationed on the frontier.
My second brother is this year's top scorer.
Although my third brother is a businessman, he owns half of the restaurants in the capital.
The four of us are great heroes, highly skilled in martial arts.
My fifth brother is proficient in all kinds of craftsmanship and has already taken up a post at the Ministry of Works this year.
My sixth and seventh brothers are still in school, but they are doing very well academically.
I am the only legitimate daughter in my family. If you marry me, I will have connections to help you with whatever you want to do in the future. Besides, I am quite good-looking, and I don't mind if you take a wife, as long as I am your legal wife. What do you think?
Chen Baozhu revealed her hand at once, thinking that with such good conditions, no one would refuse, right?
The more Shen Jiaojiao listened, the more familiar it seemed. Why did this setup sound so much like the protagonist of a novel?
