Chapter 290 (Explosive Update) Did the little princess agree? Did she say when she would marry you?
Seeing Shaoyao panicking, Su Wanyan had no choice but to interrupt her, "Stop! Stop! Don't be impatient, just speak slowly."
Shaoyao nodded awkwardly, "Yes, Miss. That night, Brother Gao carried me across the river. Before I even reached shore, I saw that you two had an accident. I was anxious and panicked, but there was nothing I could do. I was so anxious that I cried. It was Brother Gao who stayed with me that night, and then, I... I..."
"What about you? Are you in love with him? Is he also deeply in love with you?" Su Wanyan asked with a smile.
Shaoyao blushed at the young lady's laughter, "Oh! Young lady! Please stop making fun of me."
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Let's get back to business." By now, Su Wanyan had figured out what the little girl meant. She looked at Shaoyao and asked seriously, "Shaoyao, let me ask you, do you have feelings for Gao Hu?"
Shaoyao: "...Yes, please don't blame Brother Gao, Miss. It was my fault that I failed to stop him in time. I have told you about this in private."
Su Wanyan waved her hand. "That's a nuisance! I was the one who asked Xiaowu to call him in to ask. The fact that he can honestly tell you shows that his feelings for you can withstand the test. Miss, you should be happy for you."
Shaoyao poured a cup of tea for the young lady in a flattering manner, "I hope the young lady doesn't blame me."
Su Wanyan smiled and took a sip of tea. "Anyway, there's nothing important tonight, so I might as well ask everything all at once. You told me that you and Gao Hu have a mutual affection for each other. From the last time we crossed the river until now, you two have been together for a while. Today, Gao Hu asked me to marry you, but I didn't agree right away. I wanted to hear your opinion."
Shaoyao knelt down and kowtowed to Su Wanyan in a proper manner. She said, "To answer my lady, if Brother Gao was someone else's guard, then no matter how much I liked him, I would not want to marry him. But he belongs to the prince, and I belong to you, my lady. Even if I marry, I will still serve you, my lady. So, I am willing to do this."
Su Wanyan nodded and motioned the little girl to get up first. "Okay, since you are willing, then I will make the decision for you. I will betroth you to Gao Hu. In a few days, I will have Gao Hu pick a good day, give the betrothal gifts, set a date, and try to marry you off as soon as possible."
Marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers. Shaoyao sold herself into the Su Mansion, and the indentures were in Su Wanyan's hands. So she had to listen to Su Wanyan in everything. Su Wanyan's words touched Shaoyao deeply, "...Thank you, Miss."
Su Wanyan felt quite accomplished after arranging the little girl's marriage. In her two lives, this was her first time as a matchmaker, and she succeeded at once, with a perfect result.
Xiao Wu wandered around and returned to the Little Princess's courtyard. She saw Shaoyao coming out of her room. Knowing that the matter had been settled, she flew over and asked Shaoyao, "How is it? Did the Little Princess agree? Did she say when she would marry you off?"
The blush that Shaoyao had finally managed to fade away crept up her cheeks again. She quickly glanced around before glaring at Xiaowu in embarrassment, "Xiaowu, stop teasing me!"
Xiao Wu covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You didn't even watch during the day? Gao Hu, that fierce-looking man, asked the little princess to marry you. He looked like he couldn't wait to marry you tomorrow!"
Peony: “…”
