Chapter 310 Responsible
This apology is worse than no apology at all.
Liu Ruoer's face flushed, half of shame, half of anger, and she squeezed out the words from between her teeth, "I didn't see anything!"
Of course Lu Li knew that she didn't see anything. He stammered, "My mother mistakenly thought that I admired you and wanted to come to your house to propose marriage. I have no choice but to tell the truth. My mother believes that I was being a hooligan to you and will come to your house to propose marriage tomorrow. I, I am here to ask you to refuse the marriage..."
"I just didn't expect..."
Originally he had not acted like a hooligan and he was justified, but this time, the word "hooligan" was stuck on his forehead and couldn't be removed even if he tried to scratch it off.
He knocked on the window before coming in. She was taking a shower, so why did she let him in?
Although no one knew about this except the two of them, he couldn't really pretend that nothing had happened.
Lu Li's ears were bloodshot, "I, I will be responsible for you."
After saying this, Lu Li jumped in through the window and left without even looking back.
The next day, Chen Tang had nothing to do, so he fed the koi in the garden.
A handful of bait was thrown out, attracting hundreds of koi carps to scramble for it.
While feeding, the little maid Si'er came running over, panting, "Princess, the wedding date of the eldest cousin of the Jiang family has been set!"
When Chen Tang turned around, Yin Xing had already asked, "When will the eldest cousin get married?"
Si Er said, "The eighth day of next month."
Ginkgo asked, "Where will the wedding be held?"
Si Er said, "The Jiang family bought a big house in Kyoto, and they said they would hold a housewarming party and a wedding banquet at the same time. After the eldest cousin returns home, they will set off for Ganzhou, hold a wedding banquet in Ganzhou, and then come back."
The Jiang family is a prominent family in Ganzhou. Ganzhou is not too far from Kyoto, but it is not close either. It is unlikely that the gentry in Ganzhou will come to Beijing for the wedding. Moreover, even if the gentry are willing to make the trip, the old man and the old lady of the Jiang family cannot bear the hassle, so Young Master Jiang can only take Jiang Ning back.
Chen Tang hadn't been to the Jiang family or returned to Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion for quite some time, so he planned to pick a day to go there.
Si'er finished reporting and was about to leave when a little maid ran over and said, "Princess, the eldest young master of the Minister of War's mansion has been engaged..."
Is Lu Li engaged?
I didn't hear about this yesterday. Was it decided without any warning?
Chen Tang asked, "Whose girl is this?"
The little maid said, "It's the eldest daughter of the Secretary Liu family."
Chen Tang, "......???"
Chen Tang was surprised enough to hear that Lu Li was engaged, and was even more surprised to hear that he was engaged to Liu Ruo'er.
Although the two are a good match, I didn't hear Yun Yi say yesterday that Lu Li intended to marry Liu Ruoer. Even yesterday, Lu Li was not willing to eat the wild fruits that Liu Ruoer and her maid picked with great effort. How come they are engaged today?
But no matter why they got engaged, Chen Tang was happy for them from the bottom of his heart and wished them well.
It was already time for lunch, but Xie Guimo was not at home, so Chen Tang ate alone.
We went fishing yesterday and it was agreed that whoever caught the least would treat everyone else. Prince Yu doesn't fish often and only caught two small fish, so he had to be the one to treat everyone else.
Prince Yu was hosting a dinner party at Deyue Tower, so Xie Guimo went to Deyue Tower.
The news of Lu Li and Miss Liu's engagement reached Chen Tang's ears, and naturally also reached Chu Yi and Xiao Xun's ears.
Each of them was more surprised than the other.
A few days ago, I heard Lu Li complaining to them, saying that some of them were getting married, some were getting engaged, and he was the only one who was urged by his own mother to not even dare to go home. Unexpectedly, he got engaged the next day.
Not only is he engaged, but the bride is his wife's cousin, so she has to call him cousin-in-law from now on.
Just thinking about it makes Chu Yi feel very happy.
Xiao Xun was a little worried, "Prince Yu won't misunderstand that we are fishing to match Lu Li with Miss Liu, him and the eldest lady of Duke Wen's mansion, right?"
Chu Yi looked at Xiao Xun, "No way?"
Prince Yu walked to the door of the private room and happened to hear Xiao Xun's words. Prince Yu walked in with a smile, "Since you wanted to bring us together, you didn't tell me. I didn't say a word to the girl yesterday, but I failed your kindness."
Prince Yu knew that Lu Li and Liu Ruoer were engaged, and it was not arranged by Chu Yi and others. If they had arranged it, there would be no movement at all.
It's just that after spending more time with them, I've learned to joke around.
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun could tell that this was a joke, but the guards who had been following Prince Yu couldn't hear it. There was a hint of surprise in their eyes. If the prince was interested in the eldest daughter of Duke Wen's mansion, he could just tell the Queen and ask the Emperor to grant them a marriage.
Duke Wen is an upright person and holds a high position in the court. Those who went fishing yesterday were all on good terms with the prince. The wife of the Marquis Xuanyi's son and Princess Roujia brought Miss Wen along, which shows that they are close to him. It would be a good idea for the prince to marry her.
The prince had said before that the Prince of Xuanyi and his men were cheerful and cheerful. Although they seemed a little out of tune, they really cared about their brothers. He didn't expect that after he got married, they still cared about their brothers' lifelong affairs and even cared about the lifelong affairs of their prince.
It's just that the matchmaking was too subtle. Neither the prince nor Miss Wen said a word to each other, so it was no different from no matchmaking at all.
The guard was wondering whether to report this to the queen when Xie Guimo came in. Before he sat down, Lu Li also came.
As soon as Lu Li entered, everyone in the room looked at him.
Chu Yi looked at him interrogatively, "Tell me, when did you fall in love with my wife's cousin?"
Lu Li, "..."
Lu Li's mouth twitched, "Are you getting engaged because you fell in love with the Right Prime Minister's daughter?"
Chu Yi said, "I'm not."
Everyone in Kyoto knew why he got engaged.
Lu Li was melancholy, "Me neither."
Chu Yi, "..."
Lu Li sat down and said, "Birds of a feather flock together. All of you are engaged in such outrageous ways. As your good brother, how can I be any better?"
He fell into the water and knocked over all the people who had already reached the shore with his pole.
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun looked at each other, and they both moved the stools closer to Lu Li. "Tell me the truth, did something happen yesterday that we don't know about?"
After Chu Yi finished asking, Xiao Xun continued, "Don't try to hide it. It must have happened when you went to the bathroom."
Don't ask why you guessed it right.
Because except for that period, Lu Li was with them.
Whatever was going to happen could only happen at that time.
Lu Li, "..."
It's terrifyingly accurate.
What's even more terrifying is that Chu Yi guessed it, “I was wondering why you went to the top of the mountain to relieve yourself yesterday. Could it be that you…”
Before he could finish his words, Lu Li covered his mouth and said, "I didn't do that in front of the girl!"
Chu Yi broke away, "Explanation equals concealment, and concealment equals the truth."
Lu Li was furious, "Really not!"
Chu Yi asked, "If not, then why are you getting engaged?"
Lu Li couldn't respond to this.
What happened next will rot in my stomach.
Lu Li said, "It's not my mother. I didn't do anything, but she thought I was being naughty to the girl and insisted on arranging a marriage for me..."
楚翊道，“那是我媳妇的表妹，你可悠着点儿，娶了就别辜负人家，不然我媳妇要我揍你，我可不敢不听。”
Is it glorious to be henpecked? He says it so confidently. If you want to beat him up, just say it.
Lu Li said nothing and drank silently.
Chu Yi and Xiao Xun looked at Prince Yu together.
The look in his eyes made Prince Yu suspect that there was something dirty on his face. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chu Yi said, "As Lu Li said, birds of a feather flock together. I am really looking forward to seeing what strange way you will get engaged..."
Prince Yu, "..."
Stop talking.
He was already scared.
