Chapter 201 The Third Brother's Marriage is Set
The eldest prince and Lu Yan exchanged a glance, both looking bewildered. "What's wrong?" they asked.
Nan Fengling's face flushed red, and she stammered anxiously, "Father, I didn't mean I didn't want to marry... I..."
As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Zhao beside her, her face growing increasingly red.
The eldest prince and Lu Yan were completely bewildered.
Zhou Zhao was also a little confused, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out some words, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to marry him..."
Lu Yan and the First Prince were even more confused. He pulled Zhou Zhao aside and whispered, "Zhao'er, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you would never marry her? Why are you going to marry her now?"
Zhou Zhao's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head beside Lu Yan, too nervous to utter a single word.
Lu Yan frowned and quickly said to him in a serious tone, "Tell your uncle what exactly happened. If you don't, I'll go and tell the Crown Prince right now that this marriage is off."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to walk towards the eldest prince.
Zhou Zhao quickly grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "Uncle, I'll talk, I'll talk."
Lu Yan turned around and put her arm around his shoulder. "Okay, tell me quickly."
Zhou Zhao lowered his voice and said, "I've known this Princess Nanfeng for a long time, but I didn't know she was the eldest prince's daughter at first..."
Lu Yan understood now, and his face was full of smiles. "You kid, you really do great things without making a sound."
Meanwhile, the eldest prince was also pressing his daughter for answers, "Ling'er, do you mean you're willing to marry again?"
Nan Fengling lowered her head, looking very shy. "It's not that I'm willing to marry him, it's just that... I..."
She stammered and couldn't explain herself clearly.
The eldest prince was extremely anxious.
Lu Yan strode over, put his arm around the eldest prince's shoulder, and quickly turned and walked into the house.
The eldest prince followed him into the house. "Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Yan closed the door and said with a smile, "Brother Nanfeng, didn't you notice just now?"
"What did you notice?" the eldest prince asked, sitting down in confusion.
Lu Yan smiled and said, "Zhao'er just told me that he has known Ling'er for a long time. I think they are in love with each other."
The eldest prince slammed his hand on the table and laughed, "This is a joyous occasion! I was worried because Ling'er always said she didn't want to marry, but now it seems there's no need to worry at all. We just need to prepare for the wedding."
Lu Yan nodded. "That's right. Let's not pressure them for now. Let them calm down."
The eldest prince looked up in the direction of Zhou Zhao and the others outside the door, his face full of smiles. "Hmm, it seems that the two of them are destined by heaven!"
Lu Yan smiled along, "Once this is settled, I'll write to my second sister and tell her the good news."
The young prince softened his voice and said, "If possible, bring your second sister here as well. No one here will dare to harm her."
Lu Yan gave a helpless smile. "My second sister has her own home in Changliu Village and probably won't want to come over. But don't worry, it won't be long before those people in the capital can't do anything to our Lu family anymore."
The eldest prince smiled slowly and said, "My father's days are numbered. Once I ascend the throne, I will fully support you..."
As for how to provide support, the eldest prince did not say it explicitly, but the two of them knew very well.
It's nothing more than financial resources and military strength.
If the eldest prince ascends the throne, his only daughter will be the future crown princess. Now, the eldest prince is marrying his daughter to the Lu family, hoping that the Lu family will take good care of his daughter when they come to power.
It's a win-win situation for both sides.
Inside the front room, Zhou Zhao and Nan Fengling sat facing each other in silence.
Finally, Zhou Zhao spoke up: "I never expected such a coincidence. It was you who proposed to me, and it was me who proposed to you."
Nan Fengling lowered her head, her rosy cheeks full of joy, "This is fate."
Zhou Zhao's face was still full of disbelief as she lowered her head and hesitated before asking, "You... are you really willing to marry me?"
