If you mention this, Aunt Chi won't be sleepy anymore.
Perhaps middle-aged women have a natural, unquestioning curiosity about things like marriage and having children.
As soon as her eldest son finished speaking, Aunt Chi stared intently at Meng Kuo.
Meng Kuo even saw sparks in those eager eyes!
"Kuo'er, have your parents ever paid attention to your marriage?"
Although Meng Kuo was only ten years old, in the aristocratic families of the capital, marriage arrangements for children were carefully considered from a young age.
This is something Aunt Chi learned from other ladies after she settled in Pinghe Town.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be too rash to ask such a question?
"Yes, actually my future wife was already betrothed when I was five years old. Both families knew about it without saying a word."
Meng Kuo said it quite frankly.
When talking about his marriage, he showed no youthful curiosity or shyness.
Talking about marriage is as casual and natural as discussing what to eat tomorrow.
"A childhood betrothal? What kind of girl is she? How old is she? What's her family like...?"
"Mother, what are you doing? You're asking too many questions," Chi Dashan stopped her.
Asking so many questions, someone who didn't know better might think the government was checking household registrations.
Aunt Chi waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's not like I'm with any outsiders. I'm with Kuo'er."
In Aunt Chi's heart, Meng Kuo and Chen Yi were both junior nephews in the family.
If you can help them, then help them a little.
Naturally, the two of them don't need the Chi family to take care of them.
"Brother, it's alright. Aunt, if you're curious, I'll bring her over for you to see in a bit, so you can give me your opinion."
Meng Kuo spoke naturally and frankly, without any affectation or pretense.
This immediately made Aunt Chi very happy, and she laughed heartily, as if a few more wrinkles had appeared on her face.
“I’m just an ignorant countrywoman, how could I possibly help you choose a wife? ... Your mother is a county magistrate, she will definitely help you find an excellent daughter-in-law.”
Aunt Chi is quite self-aware.
The topic was left aside, and after dinner, Aunt Chi said she would go see Chen Yi, stay overnight, and leave early the next morning.
Meng Kuo then sent the Chi family and others to the Princess's residence.
What was unexpected was that they actually met Nan Xingyao at the Princess's residence!
What are you doing here?
Meng Kuo wrinkles.
Nan Xingyao glanced at the Chi family members behind Meng Kuo, sneered, and said sarcastically in the tone of a master:
"Meng Kuo, aren't you taking yourself way too seriously? This is the Princess's residence! How dare you bring such a bunch of scoundrels here? Do you think my aunt's place is a charity?"
His tone was sharp and sarcastic, as if he didn't recognize the Chi family at all.
The Chi family members frowned.
How come this young lady is even more annoying than when she was a child?
When I was little, at least I had a kind heart, but now...
“That’s right, this is the Princess’s residence, so naturally it’s not up to you to decide.” Chi Tang retorted crisply.
The little girl is exquisitely beautiful. Since she started practicing Tai Chi, she has lost weight, has a well-proportioned figure, and her face has become even whiter due to exercise.
Her delicate features looked as if they had been painted, especially her eyes, which were full of spirit!
However, she was still very young, only five years old, and did not possess any stunning beauty.
But she is definitely a lovable girl.
But the moment Nan Xingyao saw Chi Tang's face, she immediately put her hand on her waist and pulled out her whip without hesitation.
He glared fiercely at Chi Tang and swung the whip directly at Chi Tang's face!
It's all the same face!
It's all because of this face that my cousin was so attracted to her that he couldn't see anyone else!
Any man who dares to seduce her must die!
"Nan Xingyao!"
Meng Kuo called out urgently and instinctively reached out to hug Chi Tang.
At the critical moment, Jiu Hua appeared in front of Nan Xingyao almost instantly, grabbed her wrist, and forced her to throw away the whip.
"You lowly servant, how dare you touch this princess? Guards!"
As Nan Xingyao shouted, countless men in black immediately appeared.
Jiu Hua didn't stand on ceremony either, and with a gesture, many people appeared as well!
How many more people are there?
Jiu Hua said calmly, "Princess, it's best not to get angry."
Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was not angry at Nan Xingyao for calling her a lowly servant.
"You lowly servant! Don't be so smug! Just wait until I have your servants tied up, thrown into the mountains, bound, and sprinkled with honey."
"I'll let you taste the agony of being devoured by a million ants! Let's see if you dare oppose this princess in your next life!"
Nan Xingyao cursed in a ferocious tone.
Everyone was stunned.
Why is a princess of a royal family, a member of the royal family, so vulgar and vicious?
"Princess!"
Suddenly, a man in his forties, who looked like a butler, rushed over. After seeing the situation clearly, his face turned cold, and he bowed to Nan Xingyao.
"Princess, His Highness and Young Master have both instructed that if the Chi family comes, they should be treated as honored guests."
"What, you dare disobey me, the princess?"
The steward remained calm and composed, saying, "I am a servant of the Princess's residence, and naturally I obey the orders of her mistress. And..."
He paused for a moment, then said softly, "Princess, the young master once said that you were not allowed to come to the Princess's residence. Why are you making such a scene? Are you afraid that the young master won't find out?"
This ancestor, how come he doesn't know how to restrain himself at all?
The young master didn't like her to begin with, and he was always aggressive and ruthless!
"This princess is afraid?"
