Chapter 3 Rejection



"Wait, come back first," Tao Zhihong called his daughter and wanted to ask her why he died.

Tao Yuwei turned around, her face full of confusion, "Dad, what did you call me for?"

"General, King Han has woken up and wants to see you." The housekeeper came trotting over and interrupted Tao Zhihong who was about to ask a question.

[Father, the King of Han is meeting you to propose marriage to me. You must not agree to his request.]

He's already secretly recruiting soldiers, training a secret guard, and privately manufacturing weapons. If you get on his bandwagon, he'll use you to his advantage and then blame you for everything.

Thinking of the plot in the book, Tao Yuwei couldn't help but sigh.

Her previous personality was so disgusting that even if she told the truth, her father would not believe it. If her father accepted the King of Han's proposal, she would find a way to expose the King of Han's true face.

Tao Zhihong heard her inner voice again and wondered suspiciously, could it be that his ancestor appeared in spirit, reminding him through his daughter's inner voice that King Han was not a good man?

Thinking that there were many guests at home listening to the opera, he didn't have much time left. After he dealt with the matter of King Han, he would ask his daughter clearly and she would know these secrets.

"Wait here for me. I'm going to see the King of Han."

After giving instructions to Tao Yuwei, Tao Zhihong followed the housekeeper into the backyard room.

Seeing this, Tao Yuwei felt very bored. She hid by the wall at the gate of the courtyard and took the initiative to connect her consciousness with a pomegranate tree near the backyard room.

She wanted to hear how her father responded to the King of Han's proposal of marriage.

By this time, the effect of the medicine on King Han Xiao Yangyao had worn off, and he regained consciousness. He was tall and slender, wearing a plain smoky blue suit, which made him look gentle and refined.

He is the sixth prince, who has just turned eighteen. He is the son of a palace maid who is not favored by the emperor and has no strong maternal family to support him.

He is always gentle, polite, considerate and thoughtful to everyone he comes into contact with.

Seeing Tao Zhihong come in and bow to him, Xiao Yangyao walked quickly to the window, raised his hand and motioned him to stand up.

"General, please stand up. I have come to your mansion today to celebrate the old lady's birthday and to sincerely seek your daughter's fortune. Please agree to the marriage."

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhihong was convinced that his daughter's thoughts had been verified.

The Sixth Prince really had his eyes on his family.

Tao Yuwei quickly found out what King Han said through the pomegranate tree.

[Hey, hypocritical, how shameless! After doing something shameful in my house, you rashly and casually ask for marriage without any sincerity at all. You're so shameless.]

[Don't think you can borrow arrows from a straw boat just because you're a prince!]

Tao Zhihong stood up straight and was ready for action. Suddenly he heard his daughter's voice and his face changed in shock.

Isn’t his daughter waiting for him outside?

How can I hear her voice from such a long distance?

In fact, the distance is not far. It is only about twenty steps from the gate of the courtyard to the wing room.

At this time, Tao Zhihong was shocked and nodded secretly in agreement with what his daughter said.

If I hadn't heard my daughter's voice, who would have guessed the Sixth Prince's true face?

He usually behaves in a leisurely manner, not caring about political affairs.

But secretly, he developed his power and privately manufactured weapons, which was a serious crime of attempting rebellion.

The Sixth Prince was obviously ambitious, sinister and cunning, but he acted polite and sincere in front of him and asked for marriage.

In fact, the place for proposing marriage was the place where the Sixth Prince and the girl Manqing made peace. He felt disgusted just coming here.

Don't think that you can marry the apple of his eye just by asking.

Besides, the Sixth Prince hadn't considered the interests of the General's Mansion when he said this. The Emperor would think of him if he knew they got married.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sixth Prince. I'm sorry, but my son is still young and hasn't reached the age of marriage yet. I don't plan to get engaged so soon."

What good things are you thinking? His daughter is not as good as a son, but she was raised in pampered care. You can't marry her and use her.

When Xiao Yangyao heard the rejection, his gentle face darkened slightly.

He continued unwillingly, "This prince sincerely seeks marriage. After Princess Anle marries into the palace, this prince will be devoted to her wholeheartedly and will not be interested in anyone else."

The pomegranate tree conveyed the original words of King Han to Tao Yuwei, and she couldn't help shaking her arms after hearing it.

[Bullshit, men's words are deceiving. Soon, Tao Manqing will rely on the child in her belly to deliver the goods to your door.]

Although Tao Manqing was given contraceptive soup, it is possible that she would still go to Prince Han's mansion with a big belly, just like in the original novel.

[Dad, you must hold on. This scumbag cannot be trusted. From now on, he will take the daughters of all the officials in the court as concubines, and he will tell each concubine that she is the only one he loves.]

Before this, Tao Zhihong had never had any contact with the Sixth Prince and had a good impression of him. After listening to his daughter's thoughts, he began to dislike Xiao Yangyao very much.

"Sixth Prince, Wei'er is still young. My husband and I are reluctant to arrange a marriage for her too soon. We plan to discuss marriage in a few years."

Seeing that he was unmoved, Xiao Yangyao did not intend to give up.

"Princess Anle and I have become husband and wife today. Please don't stop us, General."

Tao Zhihong's face suddenly turned dark.

He didn't expect Xiao Yangyao to be so shameless and use the private transaction as a threat.

"Father, tell him quickly that the one with him is a maid from the mansion. If he really wants to marry her, give her to him."

Outside the wall, Tao Yuwei was furious. Since her father couldn't handle it anymore, she stepped in personally.

Tao Zhihong said calmly, "My wife has already found out that the person with the Sixth Prince today is a personal maidservant of one of our nieces. If Your Highness is willing to take her in, I will send her to your residence after I am done with my work."
