Yesterday, the Chen family caused such a commotion, and this morning, all sorts of unfavorable rumors about the Chen family are flying around.
Suddenly, the Chen family made this big move again.
Looking at these officers and soldiers, they were filled with dread.
What's going on?
What we did yesterday offended the Tao family. Are they planning to take action against the Chen family?
Why--
Everything was fine, how did the marriage proposal turn into this?
Look, I feel annoyed.
How could it have turned out like this?
At that moment, someone in the crowd spoke first.
"Look, it's the Qiao family."
"The Qiao family?"
“It really is the Qiao family. See? Their clothes all have the character ‘Qiao’ on them.”
In the Shang Kingdom, you may not know who is the current emperor, but you must know that the peace and tranquility of the Shang Kingdom for generations is all thanks to the Qiao family.
They were far away in the southern part of the city, and each of them was proud to be a member of Qiao Family Army.
Seeing so many members of the Qiao family, everyone was excited.
What's going on?
Could it be that the Tao family approached the Qiao family to take action against the Chen family?
That's unlikely. The Chen family is a wealthy family in the southern part of the city, but they are not well-known in the capital. Logically speaking, why would the Qiao family, who is far away in the capital, target the small Chen family?
Everyone was curious about why the Qiao family had come.
In the Chen family's living room.
Chen Zhaokun and Chen Siyuan are still unable to process what Qiao Yuchen said.
Lord Ye grew anxious when he saw that they didn't react.
Honestly.
Lord Ye has been very busy lately. If it weren't for the message sent by the Demonic Sect, he would have been dismissed long ago, and most likely, his head would have been taken away.
Who would have thought that he would still be sitting comfortably in Lord Ye's seat, having received a strange order today.
He arranged for himself to take Qiao Yuchen to the Chen family to propose marriage.
Yesterday's commotion between the Tao and Chen families hasn't calmed down yet, and now this happens again. Even he, the local official of Nancheng, can't stay calm.
What incredible luck did the Chen family have? They lost the Tao family, but ended up with the even bigger Qiao family.
In the southern part of the city, the Tao family was the largest and highest-ranking official family, but compared to the Qiao family in the capital, they were far inferior.
Qiao Yuchen wore a white brocade robe, with a jade pendant symbolizing the Qiao family's status tied around his waist.
Even those unaware of the situation in the capital could confirm that the visitor was indeed from the Qiao family upon seeing this jade pendant.
The reason is that the jade pendant on Qiao Yuchen was bestowed by the old emperor. Everyone who wears this jade pendant is of noble status and has made great achievements in battle.
In their view, this person was young, and they had never heard of such a general, so the jade pendant must be genuine.
They didn't know the reason, and they kept wondering what the Qiao family meant.
With nothing to do, why not come and have some fun in the remote southern part of the city?
Seeing that Qiao Yuchen was still bowing and showed no intention of letting him stand up, Lord Ye quickly spoke up.
"Master Chen, this is Young Master Qiao from General Qiao's mansion in the capital."
I had only vaguely heard about some things happening in the capital.
They said that the eldest son of the Qiao family had died, and the Qiao family had found the second son who had been living away from home. Based on the information they knew, plus the jade pendant of the visitor, they confirmed the person's identity.
Chen Siyuan looked at Qiao Yuchen.
She tried hard to suppress the unease in her heart and told herself that her grandmother had been angered to death by her in her past life. This time, she was a good child, her grandmother loved her, and she had not angered her grandmother. She must not scare herself unnecessarily.
She tried to convince herself and calm her heart down. Looking at Qiao Yuchen in front of her, and because of what Lord Ye said, she thought that it seemed that the person from the Qiao family had died and that he had his current identity.
At this critical juncture in the capital, and with this person assisting the Seventh Prince, what is he doing in coming to the southern city, which is far from the capital?
The struggle for the throne is a major event. The seventh prince, whom Qiao Yuchen was assisting, didn't have much of a chance of winning to begin with. Now that he's so carefree, his chances of success are even smaller.
etc.
Proposing marriage.
Is he serious?
Chen Zhaokun calmed down after a long time.
He looked at Qiao Yuchen, about to speak, but remembering what he had just said, he asked, "What did you say, Young Master Qiao?"
Qiao Yuchen stood up, looked at Chen Siyuan standing beside him, and smiled slightly, "I'm here to propose marriage!"
All around was quiet.
Everyone would rather believe they're hallucinating than believe this.
Yesterday, Chen Siyuan's affair caused a laughing stock, and today someone else has come to propose marriage, and it's even more prestigious than the Tao family's.
Chen Zhaokun's expression immediately changed. "Young Master Qiao, this is not something you can say casually. A girl's reputation is very important."
Lord Ye stumbled. Chen Zhaokun, you're something else! A great opportunity has fallen into your lap, and you still want to push it away.
You rejected the Tao family, and you have completely offended them. What, do you want to offend the Qiao family this time?
Are you crazy?
"I am serious." Qiao Yuchen said, looking at Lord Ye.
He knew that the Qiao family's reputation was too great, and that it would require Lord Ye's intervention to convince the Chen family.
"Master Chen, Young Master Qiao has come to propose marriage."
"Proposing marriage? Who?" Chen Zhaokun was a little confused. In recent years, he had not done business in the capital, nor had he had any dealings with people in the capital. His children were all in the southern part of the city, and he did not interact with people in the capital. So how could he know someone from the Qiao family?
Besides, the Chen family isn't even good enough for the Tao family, so how could they possibly be a match for the Qiao family?
Chen Siyuan could no longer remain calm; she stared intently at Qiao Yuchen.
That bastard, does he think his reputation isn't bad enough already, and he wants to get involved too?
