Chapter 242 Not a biological child
The eldest princess looked at Erdong's back and snorted.
Facing Hu Xin'er's question, she nodded: "Yes, a few days ago I asked my father to issue an imperial decree to make Erdong my consort!"
"What?" Hu Xin'er was stunned. "I thought you were just discussing marriage, but you didn't expect it to be a done deal?"
The eldest princess said proudly: "I told you long ago that he would be mine."
Hu Xin'er silently gave her a thumbs-up: "Last time I saw you guys doing that, I thought it was the beginning of your romance, but I didn't expect it to be the prelude to marriage."
The development of the relationship between the two people is comparable to riding a rocket. Last time it was just kissing, and this time they are actually going straight to the bridal chamber!
The princess brought up the topic with a somewhat annoyed expression: "But this man always plays hard to get with me!"
Hu Xin'er thought for a moment and asked, "Are you the one who unilaterally proposed to His Majesty, or..."
"I've done that to him, so of course I have to be responsible for him!" The eldest princess said confidently, "When the emperor heard that I would be responsible for him, he immediately agreed to the marriage and told me to be cautious and not to cause any deaths."
Hu Xiner frowned. She roughly knew what the situation was.
To put it simply, the love between the eldest princess and Erdong had just begun to sprout, and the eldest princess rushed to His Majesty to ask for a marriage!
But the prince consort cannot enter the officialdom! Although Erdong is sure of his feelings for the princess, he is not ready to become her man so soon.
Erdong is not the kind of man who would feel at ease living off a gigolo. After the eldest princess acted so rashly, a rift arose between them again.
After all, although he sometimes seemed awkward and shy in front of the eldest princess, that was because the eldest princess's thinking was too clear. His uncertainty was actually a serious and responsible behavior, and it was also a normal person's reaction.
In front of outsiders, he has always been a man of integrity, but now he has to give up his career and return to the eldest princess's backyard to live. How can he tolerate this?
After all, others are marrying wives, but he is marrying the eldest princess!
Moreover, there are so many male favorites in the eldest princess's backyard. How will others view Erdong?
It's inevitable that people will think that Erdong is just like other mistresses, using beauty to seduce men!
As a man, he failed to achieve anything and ended up entering the princess's harem, ruining his future. Erdong's reputation was completely gone.
How could he be willing?
The eldest princess smiled, holding her face in her hands: "Hehe, this princess will soon have a husband, and when that time comes, you two will never again be able to show off your affection in front of me!"
Hu Xiner wanted to say something but stopped herself.
The imperial decree granting the marriage had already been issued and could not be changed. She was reluctant to point out that the eldest princess's actions were wrong, but she also wanted to persuade her, so she was in a dilemma.
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard the waiter's soft call: "Boss, look!"
I saw two people walking towards me from a distance, they were none other than Mr. and Mrs. Hu!
The eldest princess also saw the two men and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Great, they actually dared to pick a fight with you in front of me!"
Without saying a word, she made a gesture, and the Shadow Guards immediately fell from the sky.
Because it is known as a comic book store, there is a long queue in front of the store even though "The Mermaid's Love" is Dou Niangzi's new book.
The people who were queuing up to buy books were startled by the sudden situation. By the time they reacted, the Shadow Guards had already forced the two men to their knees.
"What are they doing?" The crowd suddenly became agitated.
"Are they here to arrest Manager Hu?" The timid ones collapsed to the ground on the spot.
Someone immediately retorted, "The princess of the dynasty is inside. Who would be so foolish as to arrest Shopkeeper Hu?"
Some of the onlookers were surprised: "Eh? Aren't these the country parents of Shopkeeper Hu?"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd didn't even bother to buy books and started eating melons.
Hu Xin'er was also stunned for a moment, then whispered, "Why don't we let them go first? Otherwise, the customers will think we're bullying them."
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" The eldest princess said with disdain.
At this moment, Hu's father found himself being held captive by a soldier with extremely high fighting power. After coming to his senses, he quickly shouted, "Spare my life! Spare my life! We are not here to ask for money this time. We want to tell Hu Xin'er her true identity!"
Hu Xin'er was very surprised. At her signal, the princess coughed lightly and said, "Let them go."
The Shadow Guard immediately withdrew.
But after being released, Mr. and Mrs. Hu remained kneeling and refused to get up.
Hu Xiner frowned. She felt that this must be a conspiracy!
Father Hu is the most scheming one in the Hu family. Although he usually doesn't show it, the actions of other members of the Hu family are carried out with his connivance.
And every time the Hu family came to cause trouble, they would basically use Hu's father's illness as an excuse.
Just imagine, if Mr. Hu really cared about the reputation of the Hu family, would he let the Hu family cause trouble under his name?
Anyone who is a little bit decent would want to clean up the mess if they see their family members doing something like this, right?
But Hu's father refused to do so. Not only did he not criticize the Hu family, but he wanted to bring the Hu family along to cause trouble!
After all, Hu's mother and Hu Rong'er are both women. Can they come to the capital without Hu's father's permission?
Combined with Hu Ronger’s description that day, it was clear that Hu’s father was the mastermind behind coming to the capital to extort money!
He was certain that Hu Xiner came from a wealthy family and was concerned about her reputation, so he would be able to squeeze money out of her by using moral kidnapping!
After clarifying this, Hu Xiner became secretly alert. She put on an expression of grievance and sadness, preparing to use the green tea method to fight back against the Hu family.
The enthusiastic crowd made way for her, ready to watch the pretty shopkeeper tear apart the unscrupulous family members.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing? Did you spend the money I gave you last time so quickly?" Hu Xiner pretended to be heartbroken and secretly pointed out the fact that she had already given the money.
But what no one expected was that Hu's mother actually cried, "Xin'er, I'm sorry! We are the ones who let you down!"
Father Hu also trembled and said, "That year, I went to the mountains to chop firewood and found a little girl abandoned next to the bamboo forest..."
Hu Xin'er's eyes widened. No way! What the hell are these two doing?
As Mr. and Mrs. Hu continued to ramble on and on, the dusty past began to unfold.
Back then, Hu's father found Hu Xin'er, an abandoned child, in the mountains. He planned to sell her for money when she grew up, so he treated her harshly. Hu Xin'er suffered so much as a child because they only thought of raising her as a slave: every day she lived, every day she worked, every day they earned.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xin'er was later favored by the landlord's family, who even offered her such a large gift. Naturally, Hu's father and mother were overjoyed and betrothed her to him...
Hu Xiner was completely stunned. She was not her biological daughter?
