"I didn't know much before. When I was in Ganzhou, I was a princess and was flattered and coaxed by everyone. Wherever I went, there were crowds of people around me."
At this point, she looked angry, "He is the only one who never speaks politely to me. When others praise me, he will pour cold water on me.
Originally, this would have been fine. I'm not made of gold, and not everyone would be kind to me. But my mother and Cheng Ze's mother had a very good personal relationship. I don't know how they suddenly started talking about their children's marriages and wanted to arrange a marriage for us.
At that time, the two of them only talked about it verbally. I thought it was my parents' order and the matchmaker's words, so it was hard to refuse. But I also thought that Cheng Ze had never been nice to me. When my mother asked me, I was hesitant and said I would think about it.
It just so happened that Cheng Ze and I met in a restaurant. I was feeling down and didn't want to see him, but he came up to me and mentioned the engagement, saying in a low voice that if I didn't want to, he would go back and tell his mother.
At this point, Chaohua became more and more depressed. "I saw that his face was ugly. It was obvious that he was unhappy and wanted to use me as a pretext. I wanted to agree to it to disgust him, but then I thought that this move would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt myself by eight hundred. So I asked my mother to refuse it when I got home.
After this incident, he went to the military camp for training."
She looked at Shen Huaixu, who was listening with great interest, and said indignantly, "Tell me, how can there be such a wicked person in the world?"
Chen Huaixu simply watched the show and didn't want to comment on the love-hate relationship between the two. He just asked, "What did you promise him?"
Chao Hua's expression was awkward for a moment, but it quickly disappeared. He whispered, "Didn't you ask me how I knew the private affairs of so many wealthy families in Tanyuan City? He helped me."
Seeing that Shen Huaixu's eyes were looking at her more and more strangely, Chao Hua immediately added: "I originally planned to ask my second brother for help. It's not that I don't trust my mother... After all, this is a lifelong matter."
At this point, she suddenly frowned and said, "It's all your fault."
Shen Huaixu never imagined that she had something to do with this. She blinked in surprise and asked, "What does it have to do with me?"
"It's all your fault... In those storybooks you lent me before, some of the heroines, even if they were princesses or princesses, would still meet unfaithful men. After reading them, I got a little scared. After all, I will be living my life from now on, so I naturally have to pay more attention to it."
Chen Huaixu likes to read books to pass the time when she is bored, so she has a lot of books in her space, both ancient and modern. Most of the ancient books are storybooks. Chaohua knows that she has a lot of storybooks, so she often comes to borrow them.
I didn't expect that this girl would apply the storybooks to herself and use them as a mirror.
She smiled and said, "You should thank me. It's never too cautious when it comes to lifelong matters. At least you can make your own choice. Many people don't even have this opportunity."
Chaohua thought about it and hummed reluctantly as a sign of agreement.
He continued, "At that time, I didn't know he had come to Tanyuan City. I bumped into him in my second brother's yard as he was about to leave. I was anxious and didn't recognize him. After entering the house and talking to my second brother, I went back to wait for news. Unfortunately, my second brother was really not smart in this regard. What he found out, I could find out by just grabbing a few people.
I was just worrying about it when he found out about it. We agreed that he would help me find out about the character of those people, and I would promise him something I could do within my ability...
As he spoke, Chao Hua swallowed his saliva at the indescribable gaze of Shen Huaixu and asked nervously, "What's that look?"
Chen Huaixu didn't know whether to call Cangyue smart or stupid. She asked, "One thing within your ability? What if he asked you to pledge yourself to him?"
She didn't comment much on what happened back then. After all, the story was told from Chaohua's perspective, so the facts might be biased. She also had a feeling there might be some misunderstanding.
The fact that Cheng Ze took the initiative to take on Chao Hua's affairs alone was enough to prove that he had other motives. Whether he was after Chao Hua himself or something else, it was always a good idea to give him a heads-up.
If Cheng Ze lets Chaohua get hurt, as a good friend, she will not stand idly by.
"Ah?" Chao Hua looked at Chen Huaixu blankly, "No, it's impossible? Back then..."
Shen Huaixu leaned back on the soft cushions and said slowly, "You are now the Princess of Chaohua, just like before, but it's also different. Your father wasn't valued by His Majesty before, but now he's been named Crown Prince. This means that as long as His Majesty doesn't make any major mistakes before ascending to that throne, you will be the eldest princess in the future. As long as you can climb up to the top, it's not an exaggeration to say that you can ascend to heaven in one step."
Shen Huaixu's voice was so low, almost a whisper, that Chaohua could hardly hear it if she didn't listen carefully. She also slowly recovered from her previous daze.
After all, she is a royal princess. It would be fine if she hadn't thought about some things, but when she thought about them carefully, she felt a little scared.
She felt a little angry and inexplicably disappointed. "Are you saying that Cheng Ze, that bastard, deliberately approached me because my father became the crown prince?"
"I'm reminding you to be more careful, not just Cheng Ze." Shen Huaixu didn't say anything final. "You'd better make things clear with him quickly, otherwise he will sell you out and you will have to count copper coins for him."
Chao Hua's face flushed red because of Shen Huaixu's last words, "I, I naturally know, but I won't agree to all his conditions."
Shen Huaixu nodded very nonchalantly, "Well, I believe you."
Chaohua: “…”
That night, Shen Huaixu was lying on the bed reading a book in the light of the mermaid pearl, when Fu Yin's figure suddenly appeared before him.
She looked up at him, frowning slightly, "Didn't sleep well?"
There was a faint blue tint under Fu Yin's eyes, and fatigue was evident between his brows. He pinched his straight nose and said, "There's been a lot going on lately. The government affairs of a country are indeed very troublesome."
He glanced at the soft bed beneath Shen Huaixu and wanted to jump on it and take a nap, but in the end he tried his best to suppress the impulse in his heart.
Shen Huaixu followed his gaze and patted the edge of the bed, "Sit down."
Fu Yin raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then sat down without saying anything.
"It's normal to find some things difficult that you've never encountered before." Shen Huaixu said, "You're so busy, so take more rest and don't run into the space all the time."
Everything was fine before, but recently Fu Yin’s office is about to be moved to the space, and his desk is piled with memorials.
Fu Yin's tone was like a sigh, with a hint of resentment, "You can't enter the space, and you are so stingy to write a little note. Naturally, I have to worry about it."
Shen Huaixu paused in her book-turning movements and spread her hands helplessly. "There's a bug in your space system. You can farm there, but you don't let people in. Fubao has automated everything. What can I do? If I could enter and exit the space anytime and anywhere, I would also visit you often."
She bought a big cruise ship but she hasn't even been on it once yet. What is she talking about?
