The whole family agreed, which is incredible.
Ning Hong suddenly felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
"That's unlikely, isn't it?" Ning Hong blinked. "Are you really his brother, and not some imposter?" Given Long Yuan's personality, he could very well do something like that.
“I am indeed his brother.” The Crown Prince smiled. “Of course, it is also true that my parents agreed to it.”
The crown prince handed him the bright yellow imperial edict hidden in his sleeve.
Looking at the bright yellow cloth, Ning Hong was even more bewildered.
"A bright yellow imperial edict?"
Ning Hong gasped. Although he had been mentally prepared, seeing this was still too shocking.
How could that be?
Why would there be an imperial edict?
Ning Hong thought about it and decided that this matter should not be exposed in public; it would be better to discuss it at home.
"What rope?"
"This is none of your business. Alright, alright, are you going to buy or not? If you're not buying anything, I'm closing up shop for today." Ning Hong then deftly packed up all the pork.
After packing everything up, Ning Hong put the remaining pork in her basket, ready to carry it back.
"Big brother, there's still so much meat left. How about you cook some braised pork? Make a lot, and I can eat it all." Long Yuan often stole food from the Ning family and was very familiar with their cooking skills. He originally thought that the cook's cooking was delicious enough, but he never expected that one night he would be able to eat Ning Hongze's cooking.
Because Ning Qiao'er was in a bad mood, Ning Hong specially cooked a delicious meal to cheer her up.
That was a delicacy.
It's incredibly delicious.
It was something he kept thinking about and pondered over many times.
Hearing Long Yuan's fawning expression, the Crown Prince couldn't help but feel curious.
His younger brother was supposed to be arrogant, but I never expected him to have such an attitude.
“I don’t want to do it.” Ning Hong glanced at him and refused outright.
No wonder there's always so much less braised pork in the kitchen; it turns out this person is sneaking some!
"Or, brother, you could have Aunt Wang do it."
Wow, they even know Aunt Wang now.
"By the way, how long exactly did you stay in my house?"
"It's not very long." Long Yuan touched his nose sheepishly, while the Crown Prince watched with great interest, a smile always on his face.
As soon as he got home, Ning Qiao'er came to greet him.
When she saw Long Yuan, she was completely stunned. She hadn't expected him to actually come back. Thinking back to when she saw the letter, and then looked at the empty table and box, she felt utterly hopeless.
If my brother finds out about this, he'll definitely be angry.
Because she was so bothered by this matter, Ning Qiao'er was restless and lost a lot of weight.
Therefore, when she saw Long Yuan, she snorted and turned her head away, ignoring him.
"Qiao'er?"
It seems Ning Qiao'er has lost a lot of weight since I last saw her.
The clothes she originally wore now looked much looser on her.
Especially her face; her originally round face now has a chin.
"How did you lose so much weight?" Long Yuan asked with concern.
"Hmph." Ning Qiao'er snorted again, deciding she didn't want to deal with this person anymore, and turned her body slightly away.
Are you angry with me?
"I'm not angry. I'm trying to lose weight. My brother said he wants to set me up on blind dates, so I need to look prettier to make it easier."
"Qiao'er, stop going on blind dates and stop trying to lose weight. I'll marry you. I've already said I'll marry you. Look, I've brought my elder brother here to propose." Long Yuan pushed the Crown Prince forward.
"Who said I was going to marry you? Don't call me that so affectionately." Ning Qiao'er said softly. Although she was angry with Long Yuan, she wasn't angry with her brother Long Yuan. Ning Qiao'er bowed to the Crown Prince.
She's a polite girl, though.
Although she's gained some weight, she's still quite charming and cute.
At least, her eyes are crystal clear; one look and you know she's a good girl.
"Well, let me make this clear first, the little booklet that comes with my dowry, there's nothing in it." You can't hit a smiling face, and this brother was so handsome and always smiling; she couldn't keep up the act any longer.
Upon hearing Ning Qiao'er's words, Ning Hong couldn't help but cover her head.
Oh dear, his silly sister forgave him so easily.
Two disrespectful old men were peeking through the crack in the door.
"Hey, honey, look, look, how outstanding that child is! Such a handsome man actually fell for my daughter, his taste is just terrible."
"How can you speak so disparagingly of your daughter?"
"Sorry, it was a slip of the tongue."
Ning's mother apologized repeatedly.
"Actually, I was telling the truth."
"You can't just say the truth casually." Father Ning covered Mother Ning's mouth, preventing her from speaking further.
"By the way, Qiao'er, where's the notebook I gave you?"
"this--"
It's not in her hands.
Ning Qiao'er glanced guiltily at Long Yuan, then turned her head away.
"Ning Qiao'er, look at me."
Ning Qiao'er's actions were very strange. Could she have lost that notebook?
"Brother, I'm sorry, that..."
"Brother, I have that notebook now."
"What did you say?"
Ning Hong glared fiercely at Ning Qiao'er, "That was your dowry. You just gave it to him like that? Are you really planning to get married?"
"Brother, I didn't mean to give it to him, it was—"
"I stole it myself, it has nothing to do with Qiao'er." Long Yuan hurriedly spoke up, not wanting to see Ning Qiao'er get scolded.
"You certainly have a soft spot for women."
"Brother, it was his fault to begin with." He took it without her permission.
Ning Qiao'er stared wide-eyed.
“It’s none of my business. You can’t scold me or take away my food,” Ning Qiao’er said earnestly. “But if he really marries me, I’m willing to share the consequences with him.”
After saying this, Ning Qiao'er's cheeks turned bright red. Her eyes darted left and right, but she dared not look at Ning Hongze and Long Yuan.
"Qiao'er?"
Long Yuan was overjoyed.
He knew that the woman he had his eye on was no ordinary woman.
"Your judgment this time is quite good." The Crown Prince patted Long Yuan on the shoulder.
"That's right, I don't just fall for any woman."
A woman who can win his heart must have something special about her.
"So, you saw the contents of the book first, which is why you thought of marrying Qiao'er?" Ning Hong said sternly.
"If that's really the case, I won't marry Qiao'er to you."
Marriages with ulterior motives are now considered happy.
Moreover, his guess was correct; the person who could bring an imperial edict must be of extraordinary status.
They are most likely princes or grandsons of emperors.
If Qiao'er quarrels with them in the future, he will be powerless to help.
