Chapter 1073 Let’s Stop
Upon hearing what Qin Chuchu said, Marquis Yongning pointed at the banknotes in front of him, sighed deeply, and pretended to be helpless.
"I am deeply grateful for the princess's kindness to my daughter, but I may disappoint her and your brother.
The princess also knows about my daughter's situation. Since she returned from divorce, she has no intention of looking for her again. This marquis is really powerless to do anything."
After saying that, he looked at the small hill beside him. If he had no connection with King Chen, he would have agreed to this marriage without hesitation.
After all, it was shameful for him to have his daughter divorced. Now someone is willing to marry her, and it is such a big deal. Not only does it give him enough face, but it also makes him proud.
But it’s different now. Although he is Princess Chen’s sworn brother, he is also related to Han Muchen.
How could he marry his daughter so easily?
It has to be difficult for him, and it seems that this guy cares about Yingying very much. Maybe he can get more betrothal gifts. After all, everyone knows that Princess Chen is a rich woman.
Upon hearing what Yongning Hou said, Xiaoshan was so anxious that his throat was smoking. It was obvious that he didn't want to marry Yingying to him.
I really wanted to take over the conversation and say a few words, but I also knew that it was very impolite, so I could only clench my fists in frustration.
When Qin Chuchu turned around, she saw Xiaoshan looking nervous and gave him a reassuring look.
When he looked at Marquis Yongning, there was a faint smile on his lips.
"Really? That's really heartbreaking, but since we're here today, why don't we ask Miss Yingying to come out and see us and ask her opinion?
If it is really as the Marquis said, then I will not force it!"
This old guy is quite greedy. He is obviously playing tricks on me. He is not satisfied with such a large betrothal gift.
"Yes, Lord, how about asking Miss Yingying to come out and see us?"
Xiaoshan couldn't sit still any longer and looked at Yongning Hou eagerly.
He believed that Yingying was also concerned about each other like himself, and that the Marquis of Yongning must be lying.
Seeing Xiaoshan's anxious look, and that he really cared about Yingying, Yongning Hou felt proud, but still had a helpless look on his face.
"To be honest, Master Qin, Yingying hasn't left the courtyard since she came back, and she doesn't allow anyone else to visit her. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you two."
While speaking, he glanced at Qin Chuchu again, and the meaning was very clear: the person would not come out.
Qin Chuchu also realized that if she wanted Yingying to come out, she could only work hard on the betrothal gift.
Looking at the thick stack of banknotes in front of him, he felt that even with so much silver he was still not satisfied. Even if he added more, it would probably not be enough to feed this guy.
Seeing that Marquis Yongning looked confident, as if he was sure that she would add more betrothal gifts, Qin Chuchu curled the corners of her mouth in sarcasm.
“………………”
I don't want to take the usual path. If I don't accept these betrothal gifts, I will be left with nothing.
Thinking of this, he stood up and imitated Marquis Yongning, pretending to be helpless.
"Alas! Since Miss Yingying has made up her mind, I won't force her any further."
After saying that, he turned back to look at Xiaoshan and patted him on the shoulder.
"Xiaoshan, it seems that you and Miss Yingying are not destined to be together. Let's go back now!"
As he spoke, he winked at Xiaoshan, turned around and walked ahead.
“………………” Xiaoshan felt panicked.
But he soon understood what his sister meant and followed her.
Feng Wu glanced at Marquis Yongning sarcastically.
“………………”
Are you dumbfounded?
Do you really think that the princess would beg him humbly? You are daydreaming. His princess has never been threatened by anyone.
He quickly picked up the banknotes and followed behind.
"This..." Marquis Yongning was completely confused.
Just left like that!
Seeing Princess Chen walking out without even looking back, it seemed like she was really planning to give up. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
Just look at the situation just now and the boy's anxious look.
I thought that even if he didn't kneel down and beg me, I would still have to say all the nice things I could. I never expected that he would leave so easily.
My heart was bleeding when I saw that stack of banknotes being taken away.
Even the wife of Marquis Yongning and the others beside them were dumbfounded.
“………………”
That's one million taels! It's gone in an instant! I really want to rush over and grab it back.
Just when their eyes were red with anxiety, the gatekeeper ran in again.
"My Lord, Prime Minister Qin is here!"
"Hmm?" Marquis Yongning frowned in dissatisfaction.
I don't know what that old guy is doing here now.
Although I was in a bad mood, I still walked out.
As soon as I arrived in the yard, I saw Princess Chen talking to Prime Minister Qin.
"Dad, why are you here too?"
As Qin Chuchu spoke, she asked people to carry the boxes outside and kept giving instructions.
"Be gentle, be careful. The things inside are valuable. Don't damage them!"
Looking at his daughter's exaggerated expression, he knew that she was speaking to the Marquis of Yongning. Thinking that the proposal must have encountered some troubles, he also cooperated.
"Chu Chu, aren't these the betrothal gifts for Miss Xiao Er?"
"Oh, that's right, Dad. Miss Yingying doesn't plan to marry again, so I have to carry these things back."
After Qin Chuchu finished speaking, she started to greet the people in the yard.
Looking at Princess Chen gesturing, she really didn't seem to hesitate at all, and it seemed that she really wanted to carry the things away.
When he looked at Prime Minister Qin, a hint of calculation flashed across his eyes.
He walked up to him quickly and immediately put on a smiling face.
"Brother Qin, what brings you here today?"
Looking at the fake smile on Marquis Yongning's face, Prime Minister Qin sneered in his heart.
He usually looks arrogant, but now he looks fawning.
Combined with what Chuchu said just now, I think Na Dafa must have regretted it.
This is because he saw that he had come here and wanted to use this slope to go down, but this is not impossible.
After all, I came here today because of this matter. Since Marquis Yongning said so, it seems that he still wants to promote this marriage.
Then be a peacemaker and mediate.
Thinking of this, he looked at Marquis Yongning with a smile.
"Oh, I was thinking about my son's marriage proposal, so I came to take a look."
"Oh? Brother Qin, are you talking about this young master?"
Marquis Yongning pointed to the hill in front of him, looking extremely surprised.
In fact, he had heard it at the gate just now. This kid recognized him as his godfather.
"Indeed, to be honest with you, my Lord, I have already adopted this child as my adopted son."
Prime Minister Qin patted Xiaoshan on the shoulder and looked at Marquis Yongning with a smile. Since he wanted to pretend, he would cooperate with him.
Upon hearing what he said, Marquis Yongning pretended to be extremely surprised. Before he could say anything, the lady behind him laughed in surprise.
"Oh my! So Young Master Xiaoshan is the Prime Minister's adopted son! Then our Yingying would be marrying up if she married him!"
She looked at Xiaoshan as if she had seen her own son, and smiled happily.
If they still squinted their eyes, the one million taels of silver would really have nothing to do with them.
Hearing her say this, Qin Chuchu turned around and looked at her curiously.
"What does this mean, Madam Hou?"
