Chapter 224 Back to Home
"The engagement was retrieved?" Cheng Qingmeng was a little excited.
"Hush, keep your voice down. Don't tell your cousin yet. Let Madam Du tell her in person when we get to the Du Mansion tomorrow."
"Okay." No way!
"Did Madam Du personally go to Prince Rong's mansion to discuss this matter?"
"Of course, Madam Du should be anxious to have her cousin recognized as a member of the Du family, so she naturally wants to take back the engagement."
"Then Prince Xiao agrees to replace him? What about Du Zhihuan?"
Jiang Guanchen said, "She is not of the Marquis's bloodline, so naturally she cannot marry there. Don't worry that if my cousin marries there in the future, Prince Xiao will be fickle. He won't. If he dares, my brother and I will not forgive him."
"Okay, I understand."
Cheng Qingmeng entered Furong Garden with an excited look on his face.
"What's that on your faces? It's pitch black."
Jiang Shiyun: "You came at the perfect time. My cousin has developed a new skin cream that whitens and moisturizes the skin. You should try it too."
Cheng Qingmeng frowned, "I don't want it. This skin cream is so dark, is it really whitening?"
"My cousin said it would whiten the skin, so it would definitely whiten the skin."
"No, I'll try again before I go to bed tonight. Bai Lan, you guys go to the outer room first. I have something to say to my cousin."
Bai Lan glanced at Song Yu, then retreated with Furong and the others.
Song Yu asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I just ran into my cousin outside the courtyard. He met Prince Xiao at the Nine-Storied Tower today. Your grandmother went to Prince Rong's mansion to get the engagement back for you so that you could return to the Du Mansion."
Song Yu sat up in shock, "Really?"
"My cousin couldn't possibly be lying. He also said there's no need to worry about Prince Xiao being fickle. He won't do anything to make you feel wronged."
"No, I didn't say I wanted to marry him. I just wanted to take back the engagement and prevent Du Zhihuan from marrying into Prince Rong's mansion. Do you really want me to get married in a year and a half? I haven't thought about it."
Song Yu was a little resistant.
Cheng Qingmeng: "To get the engagement back, all the procedures have to be repeated. Prince Xiao is almost eighteen, and his grandparents will be back. Then your grandmother will discuss this matter again with her grandmother. You have enough time to get to know Prince Xiao. If he is still thinking about Du Zhihuan, and you don't like him, then you can just not agree to this marriage. Your grandmother can't force you to marry her."
Jiang Shiyun said: "Yes, cousin, observe Prince Xiao first. He is a good person, so marry him."
Song Yu nodded: "I understand."
After Cheng Qingmeng and Jiang Shiyun left, Song Yu told Bai Lan about this matter.
"Do you think Prince Xiao is worth marrying?"
Bai Lan said: "First of all, he has a good family background, and secondly, he is not as good-looking as Prince Mu."
Song Yu glanced at her and asked, "Why did you bring him up?"
"I think if Prince Mu could change his habit of staying away from women and stop having such a cold face, he'd be more worthy of marrying than Prince Xiao. After all, Prince Mu is the most handsome man we've seen so far, and he doesn't have a woman in his heart. Prince Xiao is different. Does he have Du Zhihuan in his heart? Can he really let go of his feelings for Du Zhihuan and live a sincere life with the young lady? And would Du Zhihuan be willing to watch you marry into Prince Rong's mansion?"
Song Yu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, her husband must be like his father, who only had his mother in his heart.
Prince Xiao is indeed not a good candidate at the moment.
"Now that the engagement has been taken back, let's first examine Prince Xiao. If it doesn't work, the engagement will be cancelled."
"Doesn't that give Du Zhihuan another chance to marry into Prince Rong's mansion?"
"...Let's not talk about this for now. Go to the kitchen and get a pot of fruit tea."
"good."
Song Yu came to the window and looked at the scene under the vine rack where Song Mingen and Jiang Yunwan were sitting together, talking and laughing. He was very envious of it.
Prince Xiao had feelings for Du Zhihuan, and he was the emperor in his previous life. Not only could he not be faithful to her, he certainly would not be faithful to Du Zhihuan either.
The little prince has been weak and sickly since childhood. Wouldn't he or the entire Prince Rong's Mansion have any thoughts in this regard?
He must value power!
Du Zhihuan may also have considered this aspect.
She would definitely not be willing to watch her marry Xiao Chengqian.
She must be hoping that Xiao Chengqian can become emperor.
Once he becomes emperor, who can control him?
Whether she marries him or not, he cannot be emperor, and the little prince must grow up safely!
It was almost evening when Song Yu's courtyard was completed.
"Madam, Du Kang said the courtyard has been tidied up. The Marquis, his wife, the Third Young Master, and Miss Zhihuan have all gone over to take a look. Do you want to come over?"
"Of course, if anything is missing, we need to buy it quickly. If Sister Yu comes tomorrow, we won't be able to catch up."
"Dad and Mom, tomorrow the Jiang family will bring my sister to our house. Bring them directly to Zhuohuayuan. Once they come here, they will know how much we value my sister, and they will naturally not stop her from recognizing her ancestors."
"That's right." Madam Du Ye came over and glanced at Du Zhihuan with admiration. "Henian Beiqing, you two should go to the door early tomorrow morning and wait for Sister Yu to come here directly."
"And me!" Du Zhixu raised his hand.
Du Ye nodded and said, "Tomorrow not only will Elder Jiang come, but Sister Yu's adoptive father Song Mingen will also come. Henian, don't scare him."
"How could that be? He raised Sister Yu and I can't thank him enough, how dare I scare him? From now on, we are brothers."
"They may not be willing to be your brothers." Unless Zhihuan is sent away.
Du Henian: ...He is the Marquis of Weiyuan!
He doesn't just become brothers with anyone.
"Mom, this yard is beautifully renovated. I wonder if Sister Yu will like it?"
"Don't worry, Daddy. I'm sure I'll like it. This is the yard that Grandma, Mom and Dad prepared for me. I'm sure you'll appreciate my efforts."
"No, this yard was built under the leadership of your grandmother."
Du Ye glared at him. What a fool! He was being honest when he shouldn't be. "It was my decision, didn't you two carefully choose the furniture and furnishings for the room? It's all my credit, isn't it? Sister Yu only recognizes me and not you two, so just cry."
"Ah, yes, yes, we prepared it together." Su Beiqing realized, "Not only my husband and I, but Zhixu and Huanhuan also helped with the arrangements."
"You all go back, I'll go around Zhuohuayuan by myself."
Du Ye drove away Du Henian and others and went directly to the bedroom in the main house.
"Don't worry, old lady. The bedding is all new and has been exposed to the sun today. You can move in directly when the young lady returns tomorrow."
Du Ye opened the wardrobe again, and inside were rows of exquisitely crafted clothes.
One third of them were made by Su Beiqing, and the rest were custom-made by Su Beiqing and Du Ye at Gujia Embroidery Shop, the largest embroidery shop in the capital, with five or six sets of clothes made every season.
Du Ye was very satisfied and went to the dressing table again. On it were placed the top-quality rouge and powder in the capital, and in the dressing box were various hairpins, hairpins, and head flowers.
"Madam Qiao, will Sister Yu like these?"
"She will like it. The Third Young Master has helped to select many of the jewelry. His taste is always right. The young lady will definitely stay here when she comes tomorrow."
The next day.
When Song Mingen appeared in front of the Jiang family wearing an orchid mask, everyone except Jiang Youya looked puzzled.
Jiang Yunzhou asked, "Ming'en, when did you get your face injured? How come I didn't know about it?"
"Dad's face isn't injured. We're worried that if he goes out, he might run into someone like Wu Lingheng who might try to kill him. Wearing a mask is safer."
Jiang Yunzhou suddenly realized that his brother-in-law still didn't know who his biological parents were.
Ming'en is so smart and good-looking, maybe someone is impersonating him and living a life of wealth and luxury.
I was worried that since his biological parents were no longer around, the fake one would take over his identity.
"Okay, stop standing there." Jiang Youya said, "Let's go, the Du family is waiting."
Jiang Yunzhou and Song Mingen got on the same carriage.
"Ming'en, I'm telling you in advance that after today, Wu Lingheng's son, Wu Han, can no longer continue his studies at the Imperial College. Don't come to me on Madam Wu's behalf to plead for him. Even if I beg, it won't get me off the hook. Wu Lingheng's intention to swap the child and kill your family of three cannot be concealed from the Emperor."
"Don't worry, big brother. I won't beg for mercy. Just do what needs to be done."
Jiang Yunzhou felt relieved. If he really asked him for help, his sister would not have to live with him.
"Any clues about what your biological parents might be like?"
"Not yet. If my parents were still alive in the capital, I would eventually meet them."
"What if your parents also have a fake son?"
Song Mingen said, "Let's talk about it later. Maybe my biological parents will be gone."
Du Mansion
Du Henian, Su Beiqing and Du Zhixu were already waiting at the hidden wall.
"Dad and Mom, did your sister call you Dad and Mom?"
Du Henian shook his head. "Now that she's recognized us today, Sister Yu should be able to call us."
"Ha...my sister called me Third Brother before she even recognized me. That day, she called me Grandma in front of me so affectionately, but she never called you guys in front of me."
Du Henian/Su Beiqing: …
"Are you happy?" Du Henian patted him. "Are you sure you didn't coerce or bribe Yu Jie'er into calling you Third Brother?"
"My sister called me first. Her voice was so sweet. I'll definitely call you guys when she settles down..."
"Master, Madam, the Jiang family's carriage is coming."
