Chapter 233: Forced Marriage
"What's the matter? Where's mother?" Su Yue looked at Xiao He. Didn't she follow her mother to check the room before? Why did she say something happened outside the door now?
"Second Miss, when my wife and I were checking the room, we heard the servants outside announcing that someone was coming to the door. My wife didn't want to disturb you and the Third Prince, so she took my maid out to see what was going on, but she saw..."
Xiao He was probably too shocked. She said so much in one breath, but she took a few deep breaths and almost couldn't hold her breath.
"What did you see? You little girl, you haven't gotten to the point yet." Su Yue saw that Xiao He was still panting, and thought that it was because she ran too fast just now.
So he turned around and looked at Shangguan Nanxing, and the two of them left the pavilion, ready to go and take a look at the door themselves.
"Second Miss, you'd better be prepared. The Second Prince has brought people to propose marriage." Xiao He finally calmed down and called out while looking at the backs of Su Yue and the Third Prince.
Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing both paused.
When they looked at each other, they saw that the other had a puzzled look on his face.
Shangguan Nanfeng is here to propose marriage?
Isn't he afraid of being rejected in public and losing face?
"Let's go and take a look." Su Yue said softly and directly took Shangguan Nanxing's tightly clenched right hand.
As soon as Shangguan Nanxing heard that Shangguan Nanfeng had come to propose marriage, he immediately became unhappy, and even unconsciously clenched his hands in order to suppress his dissatisfaction.
He had been thinking about proposing the marriage for a long time, but was delayed by Yue'er's disappearance. Later, he was worried about the cleanup of the Princess's Mansion, so he delayed the proposal for a while. But he didn't expect that his second brother would snatch it away?
"Yuer, I'm fine." Shangguan Nanxing naturally felt Su Yue's comfort, and looked at Su Yue with a gentle smile.
"Let's go and take a look. You know my temper. Shangguan Nanfeng is just embarrassing himself by coming here at this time." After Su Yue said softly, the two of them walked hand in hand towards the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
At this time, many people gathered at the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
Because Shangguan Nanfeng's proposal was so shocking, with dozens of loads of boxes, each hung with bright red silk.
"Aunt, Nanfeng is here to propose to your daughter Su Yue." Shangguan Nanfeng saw Su Yue appearing from afar, so he loudly repeated it to Gu.
Gu's eyes were conflicted. She knew exactly who her daughter loved, but the man proposing marriage was the high and mighty Second Prince after all, so she didn't dare to refuse rashly.
When Shangguan Nanfeng saw Su Yue clearly now, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
I haven't seen her for more than two months. The little girl has now grown into a graceful and charming girl, with black hair like a waterfall, a pair of eyes like clear water, and a long light blue gauze skirt that trails on the ground. On her head is just a simple silk and mutton-fat jade hairpin, and she doesn't even have any earrings.
She had a slender waist, a sea-blue double-looped gown, a simple polished tourmaline bracelet on her left hand, and skin as white as snow. When the breeze blew past, it lifted Su Yue's long hair and sleeves.
However, when he looked more closely, Shangguan Nanfeng's expression of amazement was immediately replaced by a gloom.
Naturally, he saw Shangguan Nanxing, who was also wearing light blue clothes. At this moment, the two of them were holding hands and walking towards him without any hesitation, like a perfect couple.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Shangguan Nanfeng's words, and now they saw that the person being proposed to was actually holding another man's hand.
Everyone was very interested. It had been a long time since we saw such a wonderful and lively event.
"Su Yue, it's inappropriate for you, an unmarried girl, to hold a man's hand in front of everyone like this, isn't it?" Shangguan Nanfeng loudly accused Su Yue in great displeasure before they even waited for her and the other person to come up to him.
After all, he had just proposed marriage in public, but now the person being proposed to is holding another man's hand. Isn't this a slap in his face in public?
"I, Su Yue, am allowed by the Emperor to marry freely. Let alone holding a man's hand, even if I hug a man, it is Su Yue who chose him. What does it have to do with you, the Second Prince? Mother, leave this to me, you go back first."
Su Yue stopped and saw so many people standing at the door watching the fun. She was not panicked and didn't even give Shangguan Nanfeng any face. After she finished speaking, she turned around and signaled her mother to leave.
Gu looked at Su Yue, then turned and walked in.
It would be better to let her daughter solve this kind of thing herself. After all, what her daughter had done before had never disappointed her.
When Su Yue saw her mother leaving, she saw the particularly eye-catching betrothal gift hung with red silk.
This Shangguan Nanfeng really came to propose marriage, but how could he be so sure that she would agree instead of coming here to embarrass herself?
"I won't waste my words with you. This time, I, the prince, am here to propose marriage." Shangguan Nanfeng naturally knew that Su Yue was sharp-tongued, so he didn't waste his words with her and directly stated his purpose.
"Second Prince, how can you be sure that I will agree?" Su Yue said, and deliberately raised her hand that was clasped with Shangguan Nanxing, with a provocative look in her eyes.
"Yes, can't Second Brother see that Yue'er and I love each other? Or does he know that Yue'er and I love each other, but still want to separate us?"
Shangguan Nanxing spoke in a light tone, but he raised the most crucial issue.
Those who were watching the fun were very excited when they saw the Third Prince speak up.
It’s so exciting.
Isn't this just the brother trying to forcibly interfere in his younger brother's marriage? I just don't know how the heroine Su Yue will deal with it.
After all, both of them are the most noble princes. It would be bad to offend either of them, right?
Even many young women had jealousy in their eyes.
How could Su Yue receive the love of two such outstanding men?
"Su Yue, if you want to save your third uncle's life, you'd better accept these betrothal gifts."
Shangguan Nanfeng didn't care at all when he heard Shangguan Nanxing's words. Instead, he suddenly stepped forward, took out something from his arms, and threatened in a voice that only the three people could hear.
Su Yue stared at what Shangguan Nanfeng took out and her eyes narrowed. It was a jade ring.
This was clearly the token of love between his third uncle and aunt - a jade ring.
The reason why Su Yue was so sure it belonged to her third uncle was that the word "Yu" (rain), which is one of her third aunt's names, was engraved on the ring.
Because I was naughty when I was a child, I forced it from my third uncle to play with it, but I accidentally broke it, and the crack was right above the word "雨".
Su Yue remembered it very clearly. At that time, she was afraid of being punished by her third uncle, so she hid it for a while. But in the end, her third uncle took it back. In the end, her third uncle not only did not blame her, but also did not tell the matter to anyone.
This matter has always been a little secret between my third uncle and myself, and no one else knows about it.
Therefore, even if the second prince copied a ring, it would not be possible for him to make it to such a detailed level.
"What's wrong with Third Uncle?" Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanfeng, her eyes turning completely cold.
This Shangguan Nanfeng actually schemed against himself and even affected his uncle who was far away at the border.
Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Su Yue's expression and knew that his threat was effective.
He doesn't care who Su Yue's heart belongs to, as long as he gets her.
From childhood to adulthood, all the good things belong to Shangguan Nanxing. Why does Su Yue, who is so outstanding, still prefer Shangguan Nanxing?
This is the most difficult thing for him.
His mother, Concubine Hui, was locked up in the cold palace, and he himself was always being plotted against by Su Yue and Shangguan Nanxing. When he was first put in solitary confinement, he became completely depressed and gave up, getting himself drunk every day.
In the end, he was awakened by Li Yan's words. Thinking of Li Yan and himself's detailed analysis that day, he suddenly understood.
My mother is suffering in the cold palace, and the only one who can save her now is him. If I give up on her again, it will undoubtedly make my relatives sad and my enemies happy.
The person Shangguan Nanxing cares about the most is definitely Su Yue. This can be seen from Shangguan Nanxing's various behaviors after Su Yue disappeared.
Therefore, if you want to defeat Shangguan Nanxing, Su Yue is definitely the biggest breakthrough!
Just as Li Yan said, although he could not kill Su Yue, he could take the initiative and force Su Yue to marry him.
Li Yan even speculated that Shangguan Nanxing would even give up the throne for Su Yue.
So when she was persuaded by Li Yan, she proposed a marriage plan that Su Yue could not refuse.
Threatening with the life of Su Yue’s third uncle!
