Chapter 223 Confirming that Song Yu is his fiancée
"...This marriage is between the eldest sons of both families. Huanhuan is not of the Marquisate's bloodline, and my father and mother place great importance on bloodlines, so they naturally won't accept Huanhuan as their daughter-in-law."
Mu Jingxing: "So, you're attracted to Du Zhihuan, but you have to accept Miss Song as your fiancée?"
Xiao Chengqian felt that he shouldn't have come today. If he said something wrong, he wouldn't be able to leave the Nine-Story Tower.
"Cousin, Brother Guanchen, I've known since the day the Marquis's wife had a daughter that Huanhuan and I were engaged. She was still a baby then, and I was almost five. I've watched her grow up, and while we don't have a child-son relationship, we also have a brother-sister relationship. For nearly fourteen years, I've taken care of her like a brother, doting on her. Naturally, I like her."
"Now that I know Miss Song is my true fiancée, we can't really say we have any feelings for each other. After all, I've only met Miss Song twice and haven't spoken to each other. But I will take care of my relationship with Huanhuan. Don't worry, I'm not someone who changes my mind every day."
"Ha..." Jiang Guanchen smiled and said, "My cousin is amazing. Not only is she a great doctor, she's also a good cook and has beautiful handwriting. My aunt was a first-class noblewoman back then, so she definitely knows everything she knows. Once you meet my cousin a few more times, you'll definitely fall in love with her. If she hadn't been engaged to you, how could you have gotten married? If you dare to bully my cousin in the future, I'll definitely seek justice for her!"
"Of course not."
"Are you sure you can handle your relationship with Du Zhihuan?" Mu Jingxing's tone was cold and a little irritable. "Du Zhihuan's biological father has repeatedly tried to kill Miss Song. Miss Song and Du Zhihuan are enemies, so it's impossible for them to become good sisters. Can you really let go of the feelings you've had for Du Zhihuan for nearly fourteen years? If you break off your engagement with her, who else can she marry?"
"Brother Prince," Jiang Guanchen said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Although Du Zhihuan was unaware of the whole thing and is innocent, she isn't of the Marquis' bloodline after all, so she can't marry into Prince Rong's mansion. The Marquis and his wife raised her and nurtured her wholeheartedly. They won't abandon her and will find her a good husband."
Mu Jingxing looked at Xiao Chengqian, seemingly not hearing what Jiang Guanchen was saying. "Cousin, although the marriage contract was arranged by our parents and the matchmaker, if you don't want to, no one will force you to change. Your grandmother dotes on you the most. If you ask her, she will agree. And your cousin will also help you find a solution. Your cousin doesn't want you to regret marrying someone you don't like because of a marriage contract. Do you understand?"
Xiao Fei, who was waiting on the side, looked at each other.
Anxious!
The prince was anxious!
hey-hey……
"Cousin, I understand. Ever since I saw Miss Song's true face in front of the Du Mansion that day and learned that she was my fiancée, I've been thinking carefully these days. Is the relationship between Huanhuan and me born out of the engagement, or is it really just a brother-sister relationship? Now I'm certain that the relationship between Huanhuan and me isn't just between a man and a woman. Don't worry, I'll handle our affairs properly and won't do anything to let Miss Song down."
Jiang Guanchen breathed a sigh of relief. He said that childhood sweethearts cannot compare to a match made in heaven.
"Your feelings for Du Zhihuan are just brotherly and sisterly? Are you sure it's not a romantic one?"
Mu Jingxing stared at his face and asked again seriously.
Xiao Chengqian looked at him and said with certainty, "I like Huanhuan. I give her all the nice things I have to make her happy. I'm sure it's not a romantic relationship."
Mu Jingxing picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. "Cousin, I believe you made the right choice and you won't regret or suffer in the future. Since you've decided to make Miss Song your fiancée, you should quickly settle your relationship with Du Zhihuan and refrain from any further contact with her."
"Miss Song saved my grandmother's life and is the savior of our Mu family. If Miss Song is wronged, Guan Chen and I will naturally seek justice for her."
"Cousin, Brother Guanchen, don't worry, don't you know me? I will certainly not let Miss Song suffer any injustice."
Mu Jingxing smiled and said, "You must keep your word. Okay, let's start eating. The meat is already overcooked..."
Xiao Fei was dumbfounded.
How could the prince agree to let Prince Xiao replace him?
Shouldn't you disagree?
It’s over!
The prince will be single for the rest of his life!
Xiao Chengqian left the Jiuchonglou with a heavy heart.
Even if he secures the throne of prince in the future and his grandparents are still alive, he will not be able to act according to his true feelings.
Huanhuan's life experience and what her biological father did meant that she was destined not to be able to enter Prince Rong's mansion.
The Mu family and the Jiang family would never let him do anything to let Miss Song down.
Also, is his feeling towards Huanhuan really just brotherly love?
He wasn't sure either.
But he had promised Huanhuan that he would not let her down or betray her, and he was afraid...
"Gan'er, if you have nothing to do, go to the palace and spend more time with the little prince..."
Xiao Chengqian remembered what his father, King Xiao Hongyi, said, and his frown relaxed. He told the coachman to turn around and go to the palace.
"Nephew Chengqian, you are here." The little prince Xiao Hongyu excitedly threw himself into Xiao Chengqian's arms.
"Ouch, little uncle, please go slower. Your body can't withstand the impact."
"You're all too nervous. It's okay." Xiao Hongyu pulled him to sit down. "You haven't come to the palace to see me for a long time. What have you been busy with recently?"
"The Emperor has assigned me so much work that I don't have time to go to the palace. I see that you look a little rosier than usual."
"A few days ago, my father asked Boss Jiang's granddaughter to come and see me."
Xiao Chengqian was surprised. "How is it? Does she have a way to cure your illness?"
Xiao Hongyu shook his head helplessly, "She had no other choice but to make me stronger than before."
"Don't worry, little uncle. I have already sent a large number of people to find the whereabouts of Divine Doctor Qin. As long as we find him, he will be able to cure your illness."
Xiao Hongyu looked dejected. "Don't bother wasting your energy. You were arranging for people to look for Divine Doctor Qin when I was three years old. Now four years have passed, and there's still no news. I think he's probably lost, and I don't hold out any hope. I'll just rest and recuperate. Now I have the energy to read and practice calligraphy. Come on, accompany me to practice calligraphy."
The main hall of Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xiao is currently practicing calligraphy with the little prince. There's nothing unusual."
Imperial Concubine Qing said, "Send some delicious food and drinks over. Don't neglect them. Tell everyone below to keep a close eye on them."
"yes."
Although she disliked Xiao Hongyi, she thought Xiao Chengqian was a pretty good kid.
However, every time Xiao Chengqian entered the palace, she would be extremely alert.
Although Yu'er is weak, no man-made accidents can happen!
Jiang Guanchen returned to the Jiang Mansion and went straight to Furong Garden. He wanted to tell his cousin that Old Madam Du had helped her get the engagement back!
But when he reached the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Guanchen turned around and left.
Wouldn't it be no surprise if I told my cousin today?
"cousin."
Cheng Qingmeng stopped Jiang Guanchen. "Why don't you go in now that you're already here... Where are you from? Ah!"
Cheng Qingmeng hurriedly retreated with Qinghe and others.
"...Why do you smell like oil?"
Jiang Guanchen blushed in embarrassment. "Just now, I had barbecue with Master Xiao and Master Mu at the Jiuchonglou. I remembered that I hadn't changed yet, so I decided not to go in."
Jiang Guanchen hurriedly walked along the roadside to leave.
"That's not my cousin's style. You can't just come here without changing clothes. Is there something urgent you want to tell me?"
"Ah... no."
"Impossible!" Cheng Qingmeng picked up a branch from the ground. "If you don't tell me, I'll tell your aunt. You came back from outside and were covered in grease. You didn't change or wash your clothes and ran straight to the backyard. It was a disrespect to your manners. Do you think your aunt will use the family rules?"
Jiang Guanchen looked at the branch in Cheng Qingmeng's hand, and recalled the scenes of her mother beating him up when he was a child, and his heart trembled with fear.
"Okay, I'll tell you, come with me."
