Chapter Two
"You think stepmothers are all good? Didn't you see Zhao Donglai's stepmother? Humph, she's always beating and scolding Zhao Donglai." Xu Qingshi was taken aback at first, then shook his head.
He was afraid that wanting a stepmother was unreliable.
"Then find someone from an ordinary family who has money. Maybe she won't dare to offend you and will even think about giving you good things all the time?" Xie Yanzhi thought about it and it seemed feasible.
Then he can ask his father to find him a stepmother like that. His stepmother will be finding all sorts of ways to give him money to spend every day. Just thinking about it makes him very happy.
"What kind of person is that?" Xu Qingshi thought Xie Yanzhi was simply fanciful. As the two walked, they saw a long red wedding procession.
“Hey, Your Highness, look, I wonder which family is getting married. Why don’t we go and join in the fun?” Xie Yanzhi noticed that Xu Qingshi was unhappy, so he thought of diverting his attention.
"Let's go take a look." Xu Qingshi was still a child after all, and he found it very strange. After all, it was the first time he had ever seen such a long wedding procession.
However, the closer the two got, the stranger they felt.
After all, why would a wedding procession stop there and not move?
They walked all the way to the gate of the Marquis of Ru'an's residence, only to see the gate tightly closed.
The bridal sedan chair was parked outside the mansion.
"Oh my, Your Highness, what's going on?" Xie Yanzhi was young, but he had a gossipy heart.
"Oh dear, why is the Marquis of Ru'an's residence closed?"
"Didn't the heir of the Marquis of Ru'an get married just a few days ago? Why is he getting married again? This wedding is even grander than the one a few days ago!"
"What do you know? Look at this, maybe the girl is eager to marry him."
"What do you know? This is the daughter of the richest family in Lanno Kingdom, the Li family. This is a grand wedding procession. If the Marquis of Ru'an hadn't proposed marriage beforehand, they wouldn't have sent their daughter and dowry here, would they? Maybe the Marquis of Ru'an wants to back out."
"Wow, Your Highness, this is going to be interesting! I know the heir of the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion. He really did get married a couple of days ago, and it was Miss Zhou!" Xie Yanzhi said excitedly.
"Could this bride be someone else from the Marquis of Ru'an's family?" Xu Qingshi looked at the bridal sedan chair and then at the wedding procession behind him, and a bold idea came to his mind.
The richest man in the Kingdom of Nalanuo was a merchant. In the Kingdom of Nalanuo, among the scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, merchants were the lowest class.
This richest man must be extremely wealthy.
Now, the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion doesn't want this bride, but he does.
As long as his father marries this Miss Li, he can have as many nine-linked rings as he wants.
Who knows, there might be other, even unusual ones?
“How could that be? The only eligible marriage candidate in the Marquis of Ru’an’s household right now is Lin Jitong,” Xie Yanzhi said without hesitation.
"Then tell me, what does this Miss Li look like?" Xu Qingshi rested his chin on his hand, thinking to himself that if Miss Li was too ugly, then forget it, he didn't like ugly people.
"I've heard that this Miss Li is incredibly beautiful, but I've never seen her. I suppose the rumors are true? Young Master, why are you asking about this?" Xie Yanzhi asked, puzzled.
"Tell me, what do you think about me taking her back and making her my stepmother?" Xu Qingshi stared at the bridal sedan chair after hearing Xie Yanzhi say that Li Zhiwei was stunningly beautiful.
Marrying a beautiful stepmother and keeping her as a decorative object is fine, since the palace is quite empty anyway.
Then, he might even be able to brag to Wei Herui about his beautiful stepmother, since Wei Herui's mother isn't good-looking at all.
"Your Highness, what did you say?" Xie Yanzhi swallowed hard, wondering if he had misheard.
Although, he did suggest that Prince An marry a princess to be Xu Qingshi's stepmother.
But he didn't let him rob it.
If Prince An knew that it was his own suggestion, would he break his own legs?
