Ning Bao looked at Shen Muyang with great frustration.
"Brother Muyang, are the guards at our Zhenbei Prince's Mansion really that bad?"
Shen Muyang shook his head.
"Not bad at all. The guards of the Prince's mansion were personally arranged by the Prince, so they are definitely not bad."
"Really?" Ning Bao asked, her face full of doubt.
"Then why does Brother Muyang seem to come here as if it's his own backyard every time?"
Shen Muyang affectionately ruffled Ningbao's hair.
"Alright, keep your voice down and let me in."
"If the prince sees this, he'll have a problem with me."
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow.
"Brother Mu Yang, are you afraid of my father?"
"It's not fear, it's respect and concern." Shen Muyang touched his nose to hide his unease.
He regarded the Prince of Zhenbei as his future father-in-law, so how could he not respect him?
It was a little better when Ningbao was little, but now that Ningbao is older, if the prince finds out that he broke into Ningbao's room by climbing over the wall in the middle of the night, he will be beaten to a pulp or have his legs broken.
What Shen Muyang didn't know was that Zhou Chengxing wasn't unaware that he had entered Ning Bao's courtyard; rather, Zhou Chengxing was being kept under control.
“Wife, Ningbao is a grown woman now. It’s not appropriate for a young man like him to enter a girl’s courtyard. No, I have to go and see.”
As Zhou Chengxing spoke, he was about to put on his outer garment and walk outside.
Su Jingshu grabbed his hem.
"Husband, come back here."
We've watched both children grow up; they're both sensible and well-behaved kids who wouldn't cause trouble.
Besides, your daughter hasn't figured things out when it comes to relationships yet. In her eyes, Mu Yang is just a brother...................
Zhou Chengxing snorted coldly.
"That won't work either. My daughter may not be perceptive yet, but some people are already perceptive."
Don't think I don't know that the Shen family lad has ill intentions towards our girl.
Others might not be able to tell, but I can.
The way he looked at Ningbao wasn't like a brother looking at his sister....
Su Jingshu pulled Zhou Chengxing to sit down on the edge of the bed, took his hand and said softly,
"Okay, is it really necessary for you to get so angry?"
Ningbao is already fifteen. Even if she waits two more years to get married, her marriage should be arranged now. If it's any later, all the good boys will have been chosen, and people will start gossiping about our daughter.
I know you're reluctant to part with your daughter, but she can't stay unmarried forever once she's grown up.
"I................."
I know you'll say, "Fine, I won't marry her, I'll support her."
But have you ever considered that you can't support her for a lifetime, and we as parents have no right to deprive her of her right to become a wife and mother in the future?
Looking across the entire capital, which man do you think is a good match for your daughter?
Zhou Chengxing proudly tilted his head back.
"They're not good enough for either of them."
Su Jingshu glared at Zhou Chengxing.
"Then you should reconsider who you'd feel comfortable marrying your daughter to."
"I don't trust anyone!"
Su Jingshu had an expression that said, "I knew it."
"So, if you had to choose between Mu Yang and other men, who would you choose?"
