Xiao Cunyu spoke seriously and sincerely, and even seemed a little at a loss. When he thought of the hard days in the future when he had no money, his face turned pale.
The two princesses were shocked: "Aren't you the Seventh Young Master of the Xiao Family?"
How could the Xiao family possibly have no food to eat? Who are you kidding?
"But...brothers should settle accounts clearly. Our Xiao family has long been divided, and the property my father left me has long been spent. After I came to Beijing, my food and drink expenses were all paid for by my eldest brother. I can't keep money, and now I still owe my eldest brother several thousand taels of silver..."
The several thousand taels of silver that Xiao Cunyu mentioned were referring to the money he spent on buying a girl in a brothel a few days ago.
Later, when the eldest brother knew that she was a maid, he felt embarrassed to ask her for money. She wanted to pay back the debt, but she was short of money, so she planned to pay the eldest brother three to five hundred taels every month and take it slowly.
Princess Baoyi was shocked when she heard this.
She originally thought Xiao Cunyu was a good man!
Although he has no official title, as a son-in-law, he can get a sinecure in the future. It doesn't matter whether he takes the exam or not. Xiao Qillang has plenty of money anyway, so it's great for him to be a rich and idle person!
But now he doesn't even have money, and he has so many quirks? !
So if she married Xiao Cunyu, what difference would that make from marrying an ordinary civilian?!
Is she going to use her princess mansion to support a prince consort?!
The son-in-law may be useless, but he cannot bring shame to her. Princess Baoyi immediately looked at Le Yi. Sure enough, this second princess was so gentle to Xiao Cunyu just a moment ago, but now she showed a bit of gloating look. It was obvious that she felt that she had seen a joke!
She was a legitimate princess, yet she was betrothed to a loser like Xiao Cunyu!
Princess Baoyi was furious, her eyes blazing with anger: "Xiao Cunyu, did you deliberately lie to me?"
Xiao Qilang acted so cool and carefree before, so she misunderstood that she was a good boy!
Xiao Cunyu was confused: "This is the second time I've seen the princess, and the first time I've spoken to her..."
Cheating her? How could that be possible?
"Third sister, you didn't look down on the Seventh Prince because you heard that he was poor, did you? You are a legitimate princess, and your father will give you a lot of dowry in the future. Even a little bit of money that shows through the gaps between your fingers will be enough for the prince consort to eat and drink. Why blame the prince consort for this? Besides, I see that the prince consort loves you deeply, and he has told me everything about this matter, which shows his sincerity. You should not be angry with the prince consort." Princess Le Yi smiled in her heart.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother acted quickly and gave this wonderful man to Baoyi!
If she marries such a man, she might as well be a nun for the rest of her life!
"Shut up!" Princess Baoyi was furious.
Xiao Cunyu immediately squatted on the ground, holding his head: "Princess, spare me! Princess, spare me!"
His spineless appearance infuriated Princess Baoyi so much that she almost wanted to whip him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Yulang, you, you...it's all your fault! You're a loser! What are you squatting for? Get up right there! Don't you know martial arts? It's your fault you're such a coward! I won't hit you!"
That day, Xiao Cunyu knocked down the fake Han Ying with a light counterattack. His figure and posture were like those of an immortal, and it was unforgettable to see!
But now he looks like... like a turtle hiding in his shell!
"Princess, if you hit me if you are unhappy, I will bear it! Princess, you are the bright moon in the sky, how could I make you unhappy? I am guilty! Besides, it is really not easy for me to get engaged now. If the princess is angry and doesn't want me anymore, what will I do for the rest of my life?" Xiao Cunyu looked like he was letting himself be bullied.
Very useless.
But he is good-looking and not wretched. He just looks like an innocent little pitiful thing, without any masculinity, timid and cowardly, and looks even more powerless than a weak scholar.
