Chapter 4 A Useless Person and a Prodigal Son: A Perfect Match
Soon, the blood-red light on the kinship verification stone suddenly shone brightly.
Red is a symbol of blood ties; only direct bloodlines can make the kinship test stone shine with such brilliance.
Upon seeing this, everyone was shocked and stood there dumbfounded.
Was what Miss Sunhee said actually true?
Is Miss Yu Rou really the master's biological daughter?
"Blood relatives? You two are the real blood relatives?" The old man's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, and for a moment he could not believe his eyes!
He was almost fooled by Shan Mingyuan, the son-in-law!
The old master was furious, but before he could even retaliate, the crown prince rushed over and shouted, "Shanxi! How dare you!"
The crown prince was surprised that despite his hurried arrival, he was unable to stop her, and he immediately vented his anger on Shanxi!
"You dare to trespass into my Shan family's home in the middle of the night! You're the one who's being insolent!" Shan Xi glanced at him coldly, completely disregarding him.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince was already furious, and his hair almost stood on end in anger!
"Brother Crown Prince, Sister has gone mad!" Shan Yurou cried out in distress, burying her face in the Crown Prince's arms.
In an era where even a simple gift of a purse from a man or woman is met with disdain, His Highness the Crown Prince not only did not push her away, but instead held Shan Yurou even tighter, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"A man and a woman alone at night, hugging and cuddling, what kind of behavior is this!" Shanxi reprimanded without mercy, speaking in the tone of an elder!
Shan Yurou was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The old man was also very displeased: "You two are utterly shameless!"
She was so gentle and kind that she almost fainted.
The Crown Prince was also furious and hurriedly took out a yellow scroll, saying, "I have the Emperor's decree!"
"Father has agreed to bestow a marriage upon me and Yu Rou!"
After saying this, the Crown Prince looked at Shanxi with disdain: "As for you, you piece of trash, I haven't treated you badly. I've specially petitioned for an imperial decree to let you marry my seventh uncle as a concubine. That's enough to show that I haven't treated your Shanxi family badly!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a soft "plop" was heard, as if something had fallen into the lake, the sound particularly clear in the tranquil atmosphere.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw two men dressed in black standing steadily on a large, leafy tree by the lake.
"Master, I really didn't mean it." One of the men in black said in a voice full of fear, almost on the verge of tears.
Upon hearing that his master had been betrothed, he couldn't help but drop the pebble he was holding into the lake...
Although the man's face was half-covered, revealing only his eyes, the prince recognized him at a glance because of his languid air.
"Seventh Uncle?" The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes slightly and blurted out the question subconsciously.
Shanxi also looked towards the person in the tree, and saw that the Seventh Prince was leaning against the tree as if he had no bones.
Through the leaves, she could clearly see a pair of sharp, narrow phoenix eyes.
Those eyes, like stars in a cold night, exuded an innate coldness and nobility.
However, those phoenix eyes seemed to sense something and looked towards her as well.
His dark eyes were deep and unfathomable, scrutinizing her with a hint of inquiry and examination.
"Your Highness is truly capable; you've arranged a marriage for me without a word." The figure in the tree drifted down like a gentle breeze.
He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, exuding an aura of authority and power that seemed to come from someone who had long held a high position. His chilling presence was palpable, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
The Crown Prince was startled at first, then seemed to realize something and looked at the Seventh Prince and Shanxi with a sideways smile: "Seventh Uncle has been widowed for many years, and I am only thinking of Seventh Uncle."
"As the saying goes, a good-for-nothing is paired with a playboy..." The Crown Prince sneered, glancing at the two of them, and said, "At first, I was worried that you two didn't have any feelings for each other, but now it seems that you two have quite a deep bond."
As if seizing an opportunity to retaliate, Shan Yurou chimed in, "Sister, you said I was improper? What? You think you're so virtuous? You're having an affair with the Seventh Prince, and you still have the nerve to talk about me!"
The gentle-spoken Crown Prince's eyes darted back and forth between Shanxi and the Seventh Prince, as if he wanted to confirm their "illicit affair."
Shanxi narrowed his eyes and looked at the Seventh Prince: "Your nephew?"
The Seventh Prince raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in his eyes: "He's also your nephew."
After all, the Crown Prince just said that he had specially requested an imperial decree for him and Shanxi!
Wow~
Shanxi raised an eyebrow and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
Seeing her expression, the Seventh Prince seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his lips curved up: "One for each of you?"
"Okay!" Shanxi readily agreed.
Before the onlookers could understand what was happening, a crisp "snap!" rang out throughout the entire Shanfu.
Sun-hee's slap landed squarely on Sun-yoo-yoo's face.
At the same time, a crisp slap sounded on the prince's face.
"Disrespectful to elders, you deserve a beating!" The Seventh Prince's voice was tinged with amusement.
"Disgracing the family, he deserves a beating!" Shanxi's voice followed closely.
"Smack!" Another sound.
Before the gentle words and the crown prince could react, two more loud slaps landed on their faces.
"You have no manners! You deserve a beating!" the Seventh Prince's voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, Shanxi's voice rang out: "He has disgraced the family! He deserves to be beaten!"
"Snap!" Another sound.
This time, before the Seventh Prince and Shanxi could even make an excuse, the two of them knelt down with a "plop," quick and decisive.
"We know we were wrong!" The gentle-spoken prince covered his face and said in unison.
If they keep hitting them, their faces will swell up like pig livers!
Shanxi withdrew her hand, put it behind her back, and shook it gently.
It hurts a little...
Looking at the Crown Prince kneeling on the ground, the Seventh Prince curled his lips in disdain and said, "Look at my nephew. He doesn't know any manners at all. He's a disgrace. I'm sorry to have made you all laugh."
"Younger generations are bound to be mischievous and disobedient at times, which is understandable," Shanxi said leisurely, his tone as if he had experienced many vicissitudes, showing the composure of someone who had been through it all.
The two of them, speaking in unison, clearly categorized the Crown Prince and Shan Yurou as ignorant juniors...
Listening to the two of them singing in unison, Shan Yurou thought that even if she married the Crown Prince, she would still have to call Shanxii "aunt," and she immediately felt terrible!
After the Seventh Prince finished speaking, his gaze fell on the dragon whip that was wrapped around Shanxi's waist. His smile deepened, and he said leisurely, "With this decree as proof, Miss Shanxi can be considered half an aunt of the Crown Prince."
"If you need to discipline this ignorant junior in the future, just do it. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility for you." As he spoke, he winked at Shanxi, giving her the impression that he would back her up and make decisions for her.
Upon hearing this, the crown prince wished he could bite off his own tongue!
What a mess he made of himself! Now he's really done it, shooting himself in the foot!
“No need.” Sun-hee refused decisively.
If she wanted to teach the Crown Prince a lesson, she wouldn't need to use her so-called status as the Seventh Imperial Aunt!
As if she had thought of something, Shanxi looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "I will ask the Emperor to annul this marriage!"
"Shanxi, this is unacceptable!" the Crown Prince shouted, covering his face as he said, "This marriage was arranged by the Emperor Emeritus and your grandmother, and neither family can go back on their word!"
Grandma?
Herself?
