Chapter 12 Cousin, She Doesn't Want Him Anymore
When Chu Yannuo returned to his bedroom from the study, his cousin was nowhere to be seen.
Where is Nuannuan?
The maid on duty replied truthfully, "Miss Biao refused to stay, so Qingning took her back."
An extremely uncomfortable feeling spread from the bottom of my heart.
However, it subsided quickly.
He must get the wedding arranged within two months.
He has to entertain Miss Wei tomorrow, and he must succeed on his first try.
Otherwise, if the Wei family rejects the marriage proposal, he will have to find another girl from another family.
Family background, appearance, character, and intelligence all have to meet the requirements; apart from the Wei family's daughter, it's really not that easy to find someone like that.
Therefore, he needs to put in more effort.
The next day, Princess Chaoli was the first to arrive at the Marquis's residence.
Lady Hou, along with Chu Yannuo and Chu Yanqing, respectfully greeted them.
Afterwards, the young people went to the garden to admire the flowers.
Before leaving, Lady Hou gave Chu Yanqing a wink, and only spoke after the princess left: "When Miss Wei comes later, I will disappear. Just say I am not feeling well, and your brother can decide for himself."
Chu Yanqing understood her mother's feelings.
Which aunt would want to see the child she raised from childhood suffer?
"Mother, I understand."
Princess Chaoli and Chu Yannuo had nothing to say to each other, and both felt somewhat awkward while waiting for Chu Yanqing.
Fortunately, Chu Yanqing came out soon.
"Yanqing, take me for a walk. I live in the palace and don't come out often. The air outside is so fresh."
Just then, a patch of lotus flowers bloomed, and Chu Yanqing led her toward the lotus pond. "I don't go out often either. There's nothing I can do about it. So many rules are set for us women, making us feel restricted in everything we do."
When it comes to rules, the two girls have a lot to talk about.
What about female virtues and words, what about female rules and precepts? He cursed whatever came to mind, making Chu Yannuo's temples throb.
Chao Li didn't want to mention his second brother's feelings in front of Chu Yannuo, so he planned to bring it up later when Chu Yannuo wasn't around.
"By the way, your cousin got lost in the palace last time, and I didn't take good care of her. I haven't seen her today. It's such a nice day, why don't we call her out to play together?"
Chu Yanqing, who was looking forward to letting her cousin get some fresh air, immediately said, "I'll go call her right now."
He then gave Chu Yannuo a cold look, "The princess sent me to invite her, you're not going to stop me, are you!"
Chu Yannuo naturally dared not disobey the princess, "How could I possibly stop her?"
He was about to say he was going, but Chu Yanqing left first.
He and Princess Chaoli were left standing alone by the lake, both feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Wei Minxian arrived.
The butler led the people directly into the garden.
Princess Chaoli watched Wei Minxian walk over with a gossipy look on her face.
As expected of a daughter of the Duke's mansion, the extremely youthful light pink strapless dress made her look even more fresh and beautiful.
In addition, her demeanor was dignified and elegant.
Just looking at it is a pleasure.
It's a pity, though, that Chao Li originally intended to introduce the person to his second or third brother.
From the moment she entered the courtyard, her gaze lingered on Prince Chu, her little face flushed.
As a woman myself, what is there that I don't understand?
Miss Wei is in love with Prince Chu.
Wei Minxian was surprised to find Princess Chaoli there as well.
She first politely and respectfully bowed to the princess, then turned to Chu Yannuo and said, "Greetings, Prince Chu."
Chu Yannuo returned the greeting.
Chao Li suddenly felt that she was in the way. She had made an appointment with Miss Chu the Third, while Wei Minxian seemed to have made an appointment with Prince Chu the Crown Prince.
"Hey, I think the flowers over there are pretty. You guys keep chatting, I'll go take a look."
Wei Minxian shyly told her to go on her way.
Having just seen Princess Chaoli, it was natural to guess that she had come for Chu Yannuo.
She's been nervous ever since.
Princess Chaoli was the Emperor's only biological sister, born of the same mother, and was greatly favored by him.
The man she's set her sights on is definitely out of the question for anyone else.
Hearing that the princess was leaving, I felt inexplicably relieved.
They probably didn't come for the Crown Prince of Chu.
It was just a coincidence.
“Miss Wei,” Chu Yannuo invited her to walk forward, there was a great place to admire the lotus flowers, “this way please.”
Wei Minxian followed shyly.
She nearly fell when she encountered a difficult section of the road, but fortunately Chu Yannuo caught her in time.
"Miss Wei, be careful, the road is slippery."
...
When Chu Yanqing led Tang Xinuan to the lakeside, they happened to see her unfaithful brother taking extremely attentive care of a woman he had only met a few times.
Feeling displeased, she glared at the person fiercely.
At the same time, he carefully observed his cousin's expression.
I noticed that my cousin's eyes were red.
He whispered, "Cousin, how about I take you home?"
Although my cousin can't express joy or anger like a normal person, she's not stupid.
How could you not see that the man you like is trying to please another woman?
Soon, she will have to share her cousin's affection with that woman.
“I want to go see my aunt,” Tang Xinuan suddenly said.
Chu Yanqing hesitated for a moment, but still had Qingning and Xiaoqian take her there.
He needed to keep the princess company, so naturally he couldn't see her off.
"Cousin, talk to Auntie more. I'll come find you in a bit."
Princess Chaoli was a little surprised to see Chu Yanqing return alone. "Where's your cousin?"
Chu Yanqing explained, "My cousin hasn't been feeling well these past few days and just went to my mother's. Since the princess has come all this way, I thought I'd show her some new and interesting things..."
When it came to new gadgets, Chu Yanqing hesitated.
How could a marquis's mansion compare to the imperial palace? The princess had seen everything.
On a sudden inspiration, she smiled and said, "I heard that a female storyteller has come to Mingyue Tower. She tells stories very well. Would you like to go and see her?"
Princess Chaoli had never actually heard storytelling in the common people.
"OK."
The two hit it off immediately, changed into casual clothes, and left the Marquis's residence.
After that, apart from the maids who served them, only Chu Yannuo and Wei Minxian remained in the garden.
Chu Yanqing glanced at the two of them with obvious displeasure as she left.
I don't know what the two of them were talking about, but they both had smiles on their faces.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this marriage is sure to happen.
Tang Xinuan did not go to the Lady Hou's place, but returned to Cuizhu Garden halfway.
Suddenly, she just wanted to cry, really wanted to cry, but she tried her best to hold it back and choked back her tears.
Cousin, she doesn't want it anymore.
She is now going to find a new life.
However, she needed to make some preparations before leaving the Marquis's residence.
She lacked social skills and had no experience living independently.
Furthermore, Xiaoqian had been with her since childhood, and the two were like sisters; she couldn't abandon Xiaoqian.
Therefore, she had to bring Xiaoqian along.
Of course, we still need to ask Xiaoqian herself what she thinks.
"Xiaoqian," Tang Xinuan pulled Xiaoqian into the house, closed the doors and windows, and asked her softly, "I've decided to leave the Marquis's mansion. Will you come with me?"
Xiaoqian was startled.
When the young lady was five years old, she entered the Marquis's mansion and almost never left again.
Can she really survive if she leaves the Marquis's mansion?
"Miss, are you so heartbroken that you've become confused?"
