Chapter 125 Prince Su Comes to Propose Marriage
"Just go out for a walk..."
Chu Nanxin didn't want to conflict with Chu Yueshu at this time. He just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible and return to his room.
Chu Yueshu obviously didn't believe her words, "You went out with ghosts at night?"
She folded her hands over her chest, raised her chin slightly, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.
In her opinion, Chu Nanxin must have done something shameful without telling anyone.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling that Chu Nanxin didn't take her concern seriously at all.
Seeing Chu Yueshu being so persistent, Chu Nanxin also felt annoyed.
She has endured too much grievance these days...
"None of your business is my business."
After saying that, she left without looking back, leaving Chu Yueshu standing there alone.
Chu Yueshu looked at the figure walking away and stomped her feet in anger.
"Okay, I'm meddling in other people's business." She said through gritted teeth.
Chu Nanxin had previously married Gu Chengyan as a concubine, but was ruthlessly driven back. One thought that she would be more restrained because of this, but unexpectedly, she now has other ideas.
Let her do whatever she wants, I don't care anymore.
It's really like eating the radish and worrying about it.
Chu Yueshu cursed in her heart, Chu Nanxin was like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, ungrateful and ungrateful, she deserved it...
Chu Yueshu stood there angry for a long time, then turned and walked in the other direction.
Chu Yueshu was so angry with Chu Nanxin that she tossed and turned in bed all night and couldn't fall asleep at all.
Finally, when the sky began to turn pale, sleepiness finally overwhelmed her and she slowly closed her eyes.
However, she had just fallen asleep when there was a rapid knock on the door, "Knock, knock, knock!"
Wake her up suddenly
Chu Yueshu frowned, her voice full of irritability as she shouted impatiently, "What's wrong again?"
Xiao Cui outside the door was extremely anxious. "Miss, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!"
Chu Yueshu sighed helplessly, rubbed her sleepy eyes, forced herself to sit up, and responded unhappily: "What big deal could it be? It's so early in the morning, can't I just have a moment of peace?"
While muttering, she put on her coat, slipped on her shoes, and walked slowly towards the door.
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Cui said breathlessly, "Miss, the Prince Su's Mansion is here to propose marriage!"
Chu Yueshu was still in a half-asleep state at the moment, her mind was hazy, and she just casually replied, "Go ahead."
After saying that, she reached out and rubbed her temples, trying to wake herself up.
But the next second, her movements suddenly froze, her eyes flew open, her face full of disbelief, and her voice rose several degrees: "Wait, who did you say proposed marriage?"
"Miss, it's the Su Wang Mansion! The steward of the Su Wang Mansion came to our house early in the morning with a generous betrothal gift. The master and the mistress are entertaining us in the front hall right now!"
Chu Yueshu felt a buzzing in her head and was completely stunned.
Prince Su?
The emperor's son.
She has never had any connection with Prince Su's Mansion, so why does he suddenly want to marry her?
The two elders of the Chu family were also very annoyed. They had just sent Wei Qiming away, and now here came Prince Su?
They are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the Chu family cannot afford to offend them.
In the front hall, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
Chu's father and mother sat in the main seats. Although they maintained a polite appearance, their hearts were already in turmoil.
The steward of Prince Su's Mansion stood in the hall, his eyes scanning the faces of the two elders of the Chu family.
"Master Chu, Madam Chu, my prince has long admired your Second Young Lady. She is well-educated, gentle, and virtuous. In this capital, women of this caliber are truly rare."
The housekeeper spoke a lot of nice words before getting to the point. "The prince sent me here to take the second young lady into the palace as a concubine."
Father Chu's face instantly turned ashen. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Master Steward, your words are truly irritating to us."
"Although my second daughter has some talent, she comes from a humble family and is far from being able to marry the prince. We dare not accept her position as a concubine."
The housekeeper's smile was still on his face. "Master Chu, Madam Chu, this is a token of the prince's love. The prince truly loves the second young lady. Once she enters the palace, the second young lady will definitely not suffer any grievances."
"Moreover, the prince is of noble status. It would be a blessing for the Second Miss to become his concubine. This is also a great honor for your family."
Father Chu sighed heavily. He knew very well that the power of Prince Su's Mansion was overwhelming. If he refused easily, it would bring disaster to the Chu family.
But how could he bear to let Yueshu become his concubine?
Isn’t Chu Nanxin’s previous experience enough of a lesson?
"Master Steward, to be honest, my daughter has already made her marriage plans. We are only waiting for the bright and sunny spring after the New Year to hold the wedding. This is a foregone conclusion, and I dare not conceal anything from you or His Majesty."
The butler still had a smile on his face, even though he had already expected Chu's father to say that.
"A guard is just a servant, a slave. How can he compare to the precious and noble Prince Su? Master Chu, you should think carefully."
When Father Chu heard this, he was already filled with anger. He clenched his fists and spoke slowly, his tone full of unquestionable determination:
"Master Steward, I do not want to be a concubine."
The housekeeper took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Father Chu, and he said slowly, "Master Chu, you are a wise man, and you must be aware of the situation in the capital."
"My prince is currently enjoying great favor from the emperor and holds an extremely important position in the court. If you can accept this marriage proposal, the Chu family will rise to prominence in the capital and have a promising future."
"But if you insist on refusing, and if you offend the prince, the consequences... I'm afraid you won't be able to bear them."
The housekeeper made a blatant threat, and Father Chu gritted his teeth, "The Chu family has no intention of climbing up the social ladder. Please ask the housekeeper to explain to the prince that my daughter's marriage has already been arranged. We have made up our minds and cannot accept the prince's kindness."
After saying this, he ordered the guests to leave.
Upon hearing that the Chu family had rejected his proposal, Prince Su's face suddenly showed contempt, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, a daughter of a merchant family, actually despises being my concubine? Could it be that she's dreaming of becoming my principal wife? What a foolish dream!"
Prince Su sneered softly while playing with the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes full of arrogance and contempt.
What King Shisu had in mind was more than just taking a concubine.
He had secretly been eyeing the Chu family's wealth for a long time, and had thought that through this marriage, he could naturally take the Chu family's wealth into his pocket.
To contribute to the expansion of his power in the court.
But he didn't expect that the Chu family would be so ungrateful and openly defy his wishes.
Since she doesn't want to get married, then he doesn't need to be responsible...
