Chapter 301: Sky-high Bride Price



The next morning, Wen Yu went to find Madam Qi first and accompanied her.

Tan's eyes were full of smiles as always. When she saw Wen Yu and her mother-in-law coming in, she glanced at them and said, "Hurry up and sit down! I'm talking about the emperor's birthday. There's a lot of excitement in the palace this time, with martial arts competitions, horse racing, and ball games. There are also newly choreographed songs and dances, all personally selected by the Empress. It's an unprecedented grand occasion. This time, our family...except Minghui!"

She smiled and teased Xu: "Let's all go. Besides, it's almost the end of the year... It's rare for the Marquis to be at home this year. We have to make it look decent. You will take care of the Third Elder's family. Minghui, you just give birth to a grandson and don't worry about anything else."

Xu Minghui feels that she is in good shape recently and is really envious of the housework.

Since the Marquis is at home, the event must be of the highest standard...how much money would that make!

However, grandma was kind-hearted, and since it had come to this, she could only touch her belly and agree, "Huier will listen to grandma."

Tan smiled and said, "That's good. Besides... I'm done with the palace affairs. It's my birthday too, and the Marquis said he wants to celebrate it for me. In my opinion... well, just listen to him and make him happy."

Mrs. Xu said quickly, "That's right, Grandmother! This is also a big day in our house. We have to celebrate..."

Tan smiled and said, "At this age, I just hope that my children and grandchildren will live together in peace. I don't want to think about anything else. Xiaowu's wife, let me ask your shop to send some snacks to your third aunt. Order some for your own guests and gifts. Anyway, you two can discuss it... Xiaowu's wife?"

Tan saw Wen Yu was distracted... and was dissatisfied!

Wen Yu looked at Tan fiercely, "Grandma!?"

"Why are you distracted? Oh, there are dark circles under your eyes. What happened?"

"Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law didn't sleep well these two days." Wen Yu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Then make up for your sleep during the day. Grandmother is calling you to take care of your business again, you have to appreciate it..." After saying this, Tan covered her mouth and smiled.

Wen Yu looked very happy: "Grandma, I am very grateful for your love and care. I will definitely arrange this matter myself."

"Okay! You arrange it yourself! Eh? Can the clothes for the last time be ready before the palace banquet? Then, everyone will wear them, and it will also make your store famous."

Tan looked at Wen Yu with a deep smile.

Madam Qi didn't dare to look at Tan, fearing that if she did, she would rush up to hit her. Her heart was pounding, but she forced herself to hold it in and turned to look at Wen Yu.

Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled: "Grandma, last time I talked about making thick clothes. Although the weather is cold now, it seems that it is not the time to wear such thick clothes. Especially in the palace..."

"But I remember that except for the fur cape, all the clothes were made of thin silk and cotton. Wearing them together like this should be the most suitable in the palace..." Tan recalled, "It's my fault. I wasn't there that day and didn't explain it clearly. How about... you ask again? If it's urgent, it's best to send it to us! Then, everyone will ask and we will answer, and your shop's business will be boosted."

Wen Yu's eyes sparkled, "Yes, in a moment... my granddaughter-in-law will go to the store to take a look."

After chatting enough, everyone went out. Mrs. Qi was so angry that she grabbed Wen Yu tightly.

Wen Yu patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

When Xu saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law being so affectionate, she was so angry that she snorted heavily and went back to her room.

Before Mrs. Qi could wait for Wen Yu to comfort her again, she suddenly felt fine!

"Don't you think she's tired? Isn't it just that little thing? What's the point? Playing tricks for fun?"

"Born a bad seed!" Wen Yu was also tired for her.

When Lord Wen knew that Master Qing was in trouble, he couldn't let go of his daughter.

After finishing the work at hand, I asked for leave from the emperor and stayed in the inn.

In fact, he wanted his daughter to live back home, but then he thought, if she provoked a tough guy, the servants at home would be no match for her. It would be better for her to stay at the inn, at least there would be that "shameless white-haired boy" to take care of her.

But when I thought about it this way, I felt really angry and frustrated, and just sat in the room drinking tea in depression.

On the other side, Hu Fei, with Lord Wen's helpless acquiescence, openly accompanied Wen Shizhu.

"Zhuzhu, have you thought about what I said to you last time?" He spoke very carefully, afraid of hearing an answer that would disappoint him.

Wen Shizhu was a little embarrassed and said, "I thought about it."

"How is it? Zhuzhu... You know, although I know a lot, I am really not good at speaking, so I can't fully express my feelings with words. If you marry me, you will be very happy for the rest of your life, really. Look at it now: your father and Wenyu, they both agree that I am by your side. Right?"

Wen Shizhu said: "Well... there is something I want to ask you."

"When Ayu came back from Tianlong Temple and talked about you, I cried for a long time. Ayu said that Yang Rushi was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, and she was very pitiful!

As for me, I don't want to compete with her. If we are just in an ordinary relationship and you still have her in your heart, I will feel that this friendship is very enviable. But if you want to marry me... then you can't have her in your heart anymore. I will know whether you still have her or not, you can't lie to me!"

"Zhuzhu, look into my eyes and tell me: Do I have her in my heart now?"

Zhuzhu looked into his two amber eyes, which were filled with only her. She blushed and said nothing.

"Since I was a child, people have always seen me as smart, hardworking and capable. They all thought that I would lead the Hu family to great heights and far-reaching achievements. I used to think so too. I just did what I had to do. Sometimes, I was quite happy.

But I don't know, some things are sinking into my heart little by little. And Yang Rushi is the change of my original rules. I didn't even think about whether I really like her or what I like about her? But the days passed like this, day after day...

It was not until I met you that I knew what kind of feeling a beautiful woman brings to people.

Zhuzhu, when I first saw you, even though I was confused at the time, my intuition told me to get close to you. And in the end, it was you who pulled me out. It can be said that you reshaped me. So, don't abandon me..."

Wen Shizhu...didn't quite understand! But she...was quite happy. "Ayu told me to follow my heart. She asked me: If I get married, would I marry you or another strange but good young man? I thought about it, I don't want to marry someone else, no matter how good he is!"

"Zhuzhu... no one will treat you better than me." Hu Fei held her hand, very excited.

"Yeah. That's what you said!"

"I said it, I swear! But how can I convince your father? He doesn't like me very much...he thinks I'm old. Zhuzhu, please don't think so."

"No problem. But I'm not sure how I can convince my dad. He's too talkative!"

"Yes." Hu Fei was also worried, "But if you are sure of your feelings, he loves you so much, he will always listen to you! Just go and tell him..."

After teaching for a long time, Wen Shizhu took a breath and went in to find her father.

Hu Fei was waiting anxiously at the door, but he didn't have to wait long before Zhuzhu came out, looking dusty and shaking her head at him.

Then, he continued to teach for a long time. Zhuzhu was skeptical: "Will this work?"

"Okay, go again!"

Zhuzhu took another deep breath and went in.

This time, Master Wen shouted once, and then there was no sound. Hu Fei listened through the crack in the door, and Master Wen kept talking in a low voice. Then, Master Wen shouted, "Hu Fei, come in!" He swallowed the word "get out" after all.

Even though Hu Fei encouraged Zhu Zhu to do it, when it came to his turn, he also felt a little nervous... This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

Zhuzhu came out with tears on her face, but she smiled at him. Hu Fei whispered, "Go and invite Mr. Shi over."

He went in and accepted the wild roll from Master Wen.

It's like a storm... Hu Fei felt relieved after listening to it. The reasons why his future father-in-law disagreed were nothing more than the following: he was old and married for the second time. He was crazy before and was born with abnormalities. What if he passed these problems on to his precious grandson? Oh, my father-in-law has thought of that! Hu Fei couldn't help but smile, and Lord Wen resisted for a long time before he hit him with the pot in his hand!

Finally, Mr. Shi knocked on the door and came in.

The three of them were chatting, and it was almost a one-sided situation, with no room for bargaining at all.

Finally, Master Wen, who had opened his mouth like a lion, was depressed. They even agreed to this? If this doesn't work out... I can't find a better man for my daughter than him! He was so angry! In the end, he had to say: I have to go home and discuss it with her grandfather. The final decision must be made by him.

That's consent!

Hu Fei felt like he was about to faint from happiness. He ran out, holding his beloved, and couldn't finish his words.

Mr. Shi shook his head... I am an old man, I can only bear it this time, don't make trouble again! When the temperature language arrived, it was almost settled.

Zhuzhu rushed over and told him the whole news. Wen Yu was speechless: My cousin always says that he has a black heart. Compared with Lord Wen, I am really nothing!

How dare he open his mouth!

"Zhuzhu, you are the best girl in the world, you deserve this sky-high bride price!"

Thanks for the encouragement guys!
