Chapter 284: His Royal Highness Prince Xuan loves Sister Zhuo Ning so much!
It was just a matter of hiring someone, but Xiao Jinxuan made such a big fuss, and Xie Zhuoning was almost having a headache.
Seeing this, Xiang Fei nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, you are quite sincere."
Hearing this, Song Yuqiu couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Is this a small amount of betrothal gift considered "a little" sincere? How much is considered full sincerity?
Princess Yunheng at the side said, "Mother, don't look at these material things, the most important thing is to be good to Sister Zhuo Ning!"
No, no, no, Song Yuqiu hurriedly said in his heart, these material things are still very important.
As the saying goes, people can betray you, but money can never betray you.
Besides, there’s an old saying that the measure of whether a man loves you is whether he’s willing to spend money on you.
Judging from the situation today, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan must have loved their Sister Zhuoning terribly!
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but smiled like an auntie and came up to Xie Zhuoning, "Hehehe, Sister Zhuoning, if the palace can be moved, will His Royal Highness Prince Xuan move his family here for you as well?"
Xie Zhuoning stretched out his index finger and pushed her head away, "Stop talking nonsense to me!"
"I'm not talking nonsense," Song Yuqiu muttered unconvinced, and simply ran to ask Xiao Jinxuan, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, my sister Zhuo Ning has taken a fancy to your palace, will you give it to her?"
Xiao Jinxuan was stunned, and couldn't help looking at Xie Zhuoning, a smile on his face, "Then I'll ask Ling Xiao to get the house deed."
Xie Zhuoning hurried forward, frowning slightly, "She was just joking, why are you making a fuss? Also, shouldn't I just ask you to simply propose marriage? Why make it so grand?"
What they were planning had to be done in a low-key manner and in secret.
But when he did this, all eyes in the capital were focused on the two of them.
Xiao Jinxuan stretched out his hand and pressed it between her eyebrows, and gently said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about this. Everyone in the capital knows that I love you deeply. The prince was willing to marry you even if he didn't want to be one. Now that they see that I am willing to go bankrupt just to marry you, they will only think that I am obsessed with beauty, and will not be suspicious of me."
Xie Zhuoning thought about it carefully and found it reasonable. His frown relaxed immediately. "That's right. Since you dare to give it to me, why shouldn't I dare to accept it?"
He immediately called Fuling and told her to clean up two more courtyards as the betrothal gifts.
Suppressing the corners of his mouth and hiding the smile on his face, Xiao Jinxuan asked Ling Xiao to bring a box over and said, "Hold out your hand."
"Hmm?" Xie Zhuoning looked over in confusion.
The box was opened, revealing a cloisonné red coral bracelet.
Xiao Jinxuan took it out and put it on her. "This is a token of love between Emperor Gaozu and Empress Xiaoyi. It has extraordinary meaning."
The two of them walked hand in hand for thirty years, and in the end they did not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.
These are also what he wanted to say to her.
Xie Zhuoning glanced at him, and with just one look, they understood each other.
The corners of her mouth curled up, and she raised her wrist and shook it in front of him, "Does it look good?"
Xiao Jinxuan smiled and nodded, "Yeah, it looks good."
At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise coming from the door.
Then, the guard at the gate came in hurriedly and reported:
"Oh no, Miss, there's a man outside, he said...he said..."
Xiang Fei saw this, her eyebrows raised, and she scolded him in a stern voice: "Why are you hesitating? What did he say?"
"He said that he was the lover of the eldest lady. He also said that after the eldest lady hooked up with His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, she kicked him out!"
"Nonsense!" Xiang Fei was so angry that smoke came out of her head. "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you quickly chase away that guy who is talking nonsense?"
Xie Zhuoning and Xiao Jinxuan looked at each other, then stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, motherfucker, I'll go out and handle this."
Today, Xiao Jinxuan made such a big fuss when sending the betrothal gift, and all eyes in the capital were on them.
Now a man suddenly appeared and said he was her lover. If they chased him away or arrested him, they would only be criticized and thought to be guilty.
What's more, she was already very happy that Xiang Fei could come to support her. How could she, a palace concubine, be allowed to show up in public?
Princess Yunheng also advised, "Yes, mother, Sister Zhuoning is so smart, she will definitely solve it quickly. Besides, don't we still have the little uncle?"
Could it be that these two clever old foxes cannot solve such a small matter?
Seeing this, Xiang Fei had no choice but to give in. "That's fine. But if you can't handle it, send someone to call me and I'll support you!"
"Got it, motherfuckin." Xie Zhuoning smiled and walked out the door.
Xiao Jinxuan and Song Yuqiu immediately followed her and walked out.
The gate of Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion was crowded with common people who came to watch the excitement early in the morning.
Now there was a space in the middle, and a thin man in a blue brocade robe stood there.
As soon as he saw Xie Zhuoning come out, he started yelling and shouting—
"You are such a treacherous woman. I was wondering why you were so affectionate to me a few days ago, but you turned around and abandoned me. It turns out you have climbed up the social ladder!"
"Your Highness Prince Xuan, do you know that the woman you are going to marry is just a spent flower that other men have used?"
When Song Yuqiu heard this, he rolled up his sleeves in anger and said, "Fuck, this dog can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. I must slap him three hundred times!"
"Don't be impulsive, he is trying to provoke us." Xie Zhuoning quickly reached out to hold Song Yuqiu, obviously much calmer than her.
It can hold one but not the other.
Xiao Jinxuan's aura was as stern as a sharp blade. He stared at the man coldly, "Ling Xiao, cut off his tongue."
Since you like talking nonsense, then don't talk anymore in the future!
Xie Zhuoning was shocked. She thought Xiao Jinxuan could remain calm like her, but he turned out to be even crazier than Song Yuqiu!
She rushed to stop him again, "Xiao Jinxuan, stop it! What are you doing?"
By doing this, he will only make people think that what that guy said is all true!
Xiao Jinxuan also knew that he had lost control, so he closed his eyes and calmed down, "I'm sorry."
When he heard those words just now, there was only one thought in his mind, he wanted that guy to die!
Xie Zhuoning was relieved to see that he had regained his sanity.
Before he knew it, Song Yuqiu on the other side had already put his hands on his hips and started swearing at someone.
"You droopy-eyed, lousy-nosed toad, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what you look like? Calling you a toad is an insult to toads, how could my sister Zhuo Ning like you? With your short stature, my sister Zhuo Ning can't even see you! And you have the nerve to come here to make trouble, where do you get the nerve to do that? You just open your mouth and say whatever you want, aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue off!"
She typed out the words in a burst, and the man was stunned and his face turned red, making him speechless.
The people around also began to whisper to each other:
"Yes, Miss Xie was the former Crown Princess after all. Even after being broken off from engagement, she wouldn't be attracted to such a shabby guy, right?"
"That's right. Before, my boss Mr. Zhao also came to propose marriage, but Miss Xie didn't even look at him."
"I'm afraid some people are jealous of others and deliberately came to throw dirty water on Miss Xie, right?"
Hearing the discussion, the man suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "You don't believe me, right? Xie Zhuoning has a mole on her chest. I saw it with my own eyes!"
