Zu An frowned slightly, knowing that what she said made sense. In fact, the happiness of the younger generation is meaningless in a family marriage. The key is that the marriage binds the two families together, so that everyone shares the honor and disgrace.
However, this is indeed somewhat unfair to Murong Qinghe. But I seem to have heard Murong Qinghe mention before that no matter what happens, she will choose to be with Chu Youzhao.
So he asked the person involved directly, "Youzhao, what do you think?"
Chu Youzhao pursed her lips: "I will follow my family's arrangements in everything."
"And what do you think?" Zuan continued to press.
Chu Youzhao hesitated for a moment, then said in a soft, almost inaudible voice, "I want to be with Qinghe, and Qinghe doesn't want to marry anyone else."
Zuan: "???"
Their relationship seems to be deeper than I thought; am I worrying too much?
Seeing that she shared the same thought, Zu'an didn't press the matter further: "Since you insist on this, I wish you happiness. As for the arranged marriage, I will have someone make the arrangements."
Chu Yan is still suffering under the Bridge of Helplessness. I should help her take care of her family as much as I can.
Qin Wanru was overjoyed. The official marriage bestowed upon her was an honor far exceeding that of an ordinary arranged marriage.
Chu Youzhao blushed and bowed to him, saying, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Once the important business was over, Chu Huanzhao perked up and shook Zu An's arm, saying, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, where have you been all this time? We were so worried about you."
"Me? I went to fight demons." Seeing how cute Chu Huanzhao was, Zu'an's mood lightened, and he took the opportunity to tell them about his experiences during this period.
Seeing that she was still clinging to Zu An's arm and her whole body was almost pressed against his chest, Qin Wanru opened her mouth several times to remind him, but seeing that the two of them were very natural and getting along very well, it seemed that there was no need for any separation between men and women.
She eventually gave up the idea of ​​reminding him. Forget it, this girl had a good relationship with him when Zu An first entered the Chu family, so why should she be the bad guy?
Chu Huanzhao heard all sorts of adventure stories he had never heard before, exclaiming in surprise from time to time. He even went to pour Zu An a cup of tea, saying, "Brother-in-law, moisten your throat and speak slowly."
Chu Youzhao also thoughtfully went over to massage his legs, her beautiful eyes gazing at him with great interest, clearly indicating that such a story was extremely attractive to the two young girls.
Seeing her two daughters flanking Zu An, serving him tea and water, massaging his legs, and feeding him grapes, Qin Wanru's eyebrows twitched.
Neither of my two daughters has ever treated me and her father like this at home!
As expected, daughters are like birds that cannot stay at home once they grow up!
And did I owe that kid Zuan something in my past life? He took all my daughters!
However, as she listened, she became interested. Those exciting and stimulating stories were incredibly attractive not only to young girls but also to a sheltered lady like her.
Before they knew it, it was getting late, and Bi Linglong took some time to come over.
Seeing the mother and her two daughters so engrossed in their activities, she was somewhat taken aback, especially when she saw Chu Huanzhao affectionately holding Zu An's hand, practically clinging to him. She couldn't help but frown slightly.
And the heir of the Chu family also acts like a little girl. You know what, he has red lips and white teeth, and he's quite handsome.
I wonder if Ah Zu would like this kind of thing too.
In an instant, countless thoughts surged through her mind. She forcibly composed herself and said, "Grandpa, the Hall of Mental Cultivation has been renovated and everything has been replaced. You can live there from now on."
"Hall of Mental Cultivation?" Qin Wanru and the other two were taken aback. Even the most foolish among them knew that this was the emperor's private residence. What did this signify?
Zuan frowned slightly, initially wanting to refuse, as he didn't want to stay there.
As if guessing what he was thinking, Bi Linglong spoke up in advance: "Grandpa, there are no gaps in power. If a gap is exposed, various forces will inevitably want to extend their tentacles. Now, only you can convince the masses and deter some people from having inappropriate thoughts."
Zuan nodded: "You make a good point, then I'll stay there."
He also knew that sometimes it was appropriate to be modest, while other times one had to be assertive. In these turbulent times, it was indeed necessary to quickly take charge and stabilize public sentiment.
Seeing that he agreed, Bi Linglong smiled and said, "I have a lot of things to take care of, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, he nodded to Qin Wanru and the other two, and then hurriedly left.
Watching her hurried figure, Zu An sighed inwardly. Fortunately, he had Linglong and Liu Ning, who were experienced in handling government affairs. Otherwise, the current situation would have definitely given him a headache.
Just then, Chu Huanzhao's little head popped up from the side: "Brother-in-law, do you and the Empress have that kind of relationship?"
Chu Youzhao's eyes were also burning with gossip, and Qin Wanru secretly gave a thumbs up, as she was also very curious about this matter.
Hmph, I'll guard the gate for my Chu Yan, lest other female demons come and steal our home.
"What kind of relationship is that?" Zuan joked.
"It's that kind of relationship." Chu Huanzhao blushed. Although she was usually quite outspoken, she was still a young girl and was quite shy about talking about this.
"I think so," Zu'an replied frankly. There was nothing left to hide now; the news had spread throughout the entire capital.
"Huh?" The mother and her two daughters exclaimed in unison, their red lips wide enough to fit an egg.
Although there had been rumors before, the whole thing was still too outrageous. Bi Linglong was the Empress, and they still held a sliver of hope that he would "keep himself pure."
