Chapter 601 Even if I don't want her to marry
He Zhimiao was stunned for a moment when she heard what the wife of Marquis Wu'an said, and then she curled her lips and said, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about."
"Really?" Lady Wu'an Hou asked worriedly.
He Zhimiao nodded hurriedly: "The prince of Anguo is indeed a rare talent, but just take a look. My daughter is not stupid and would not rush to die."
"That's good, that's good." Lady Wu'an Hou patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, even if I have never thought of marrying Song Yanjun, I would not allow He Zhiyan to marry him. Looking around the capital, there is no one more noble than the Duke of Anguo's Mansion except the prince. I don't want to be inferior to him in the future." He Zhimiao snorted.
The queen's family is a duke's family and holds a large number of troops. Even powerful families like the Shen and Liu families would not be more noble than the Anguo Mansion.
He Zhimiao wanted to marry the prince, but no matter how high her sights were, she knew that her chances of becoming an imperial concubine were slim. Would she always be suppressed by He Zhiyan in the future?
Even if He Zhiyan would not live long, before that, her status as the wife of the Prince of Anguo was extremely noble.
Lady Wu'an Hou's wife looked at her daughter's angry face and could only hold back her anger.
She wanted to stop it too.
But unless He Zhiyan herself doesn't want to get married, there is almost no room for change of direction in this matter.
Lu Xiang is the adopted daughter of Duke Anguo. She went to see He Zhiyan at this time, she must have gone there to act as a lobbyist.
If she was just the daughter of a minister, she would never let her stay no matter what. But her background was so powerful that even if she was the marquis' wife, she would not dare to offend Lu Xiang.
…
In He Zhiyan's room, Lu Xiang listened to the whole story and looked at her with an apologetic look. At that time, he only wanted to hide Song Yanjun in a safe place to prevent the second house from plotting against him, but he never thought that it would almost put He Zhiyan in a desperate situation.
Even if things were not as bad as she imagined, she did take advantage of others.
"Xiangxiang, the prince...he..." He Zhiyan was even more surprised than Lu Xiang. She never expected that Song Yanjun would really come to propose marriage. She couldn't help but feel flustered: "I...I'm fine. I don't...I don't need him to feel guilty and responsible."
"Sister Yan, do you hate my brother?"
He Zhiyan was startled when he heard this, and quickly shook his head: "How could it be."
"Then do you dislike his reputation as a wife-killer?" Lu Xiang asked, resting his chin on his hands and his elbows on the low table.
"ah?"
He Zhiyan was confused by Lu Xiang's question.
The two of them had never had any contact, so why would he think about such a thing?
"Don't worry if you haven't thought about it. You can start thinking about it now." Lu Xiang said with a smile.
He Zhiyan looked into her smiling eyes and her face suddenly turned red.
"How can I dislike Prince Song?" She lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
She herself does not have a healthy body. It's okay when she doesn't get sick. But if she fails to take medicine in time when she gets sick, she may die at any time.
When Lu Xiang saw this, her beautiful eyes turned into crescent moons.
It seems that there is still hope.
Sister Yan just couldn't bear to see her brother-in-law bear the self-blame and marry her in such a way that he had to compromise, so she would rather not have it.
But Lu Xiang knew clearly that even if Song Yanjun proposed to her only out of responsibility and guilt, he would definitely love and care for her for the rest of his life.
What's more, Song Yanjun may not have a good impression of He Zhiyan, otherwise why would he specially invite her to be a lobbyist.
It is precisely because he cares and values him that he hopes He Zhiyan will marry him willingly and happily.
"Since Sister Yan doesn't mind, you might as well consider it. The Song family is powerful and influential. If Sister Yan marries him, she will be the noble Crown Prince's Consort. In the future, the wife of Marquis Wu'an will never dare to look down on you again. I can guarantee that my brother's character is definitely worthy of entrusting your life to."
As Lu Xiang spoke, he stretched out two fingers and pointed to the sky and swore, which made He Zhiyan stunned.
"Or do you have someone you like, Sister Yan?"
If this is the case, we cannot force the red line.
As soon as Lu Xiang finished speaking, He Zhiyan subconsciously said, "No."
After saying this, she blushed with shame and wished she could find a crack to bury herself in.
Ahhhh!
How should Xiangxiang feel about her being so quick to deny it?
The smile on Lu Xiang's face became more intense, with a hint of teasing: "This is about your lifelong event, I can't let you agree so rashly, how about giving Sister Yan three days to think about it? Although Prince Song is my sworn brother, you and I are also sisters, Sister Yan, don't worry about it, just follow your heart. If you don't want to, ask Liangchen to come and tell me, I will help you solve your worries."
He Zhiyan raised his head and looked at the beautiful girl with sincere eyes in front of him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
She dared to say that if it were someone else today, they would have used threats and bribes to force her to agree to the marriage, because the man was the powerful Duke of Anguo, and compared to angering the prince, the thoughts of her, the legitimate daughter of a marquisate, were not important at all.
The wife of the Prince of Anguo, who would refuse such a noble status?
But marrying under pressure is different from getting married with full of expectations and joy.
He Zhiyan knew that she was being hypocritical and that she was being ungrateful after getting an advantage, but she was valued by others and no one liked to be looked down upon.
"Xiangxiang, it's nice to meet you."
…
Lu Xiang did not stay long. As soon as she left the Marquis' Mansion, someone went to the main courtyard to report.
"What was Lu Xiang's expression before he left? Did He Zhiyan agree?" asked the wife of Marquis Wu'an.
The servant replied respectfully, "Madam, I dare not judge the Third Miss's expression, but from what I heard from her conversation with the maid beside her, the eldest lady did not immediately agree to this marriage."
"Hmph, she really knows how to put on airs." Upon hearing this, Lady Wu'an Hou heaved a sigh of relief but also looked disdainful.
On the way back home, Lu Xiang said to Ah Man, "Go to the Anguo Mansion and tell the prince that if I don't send someone to look for him in three days, bring the betrothal gifts to the Anguo Mansion to propose marriage."
Ah Man nodded, but showed a puzzled look: "Miss, how can you be sure that Miss He agrees to this marriage?"
"Not sure." Lu Xiang smiled and said, "So we have to wait three days. If Sister Yan disagrees, Liangchen will come to me. In other words, if Liangchen doesn't come, it means that Sister Yan has tacitly agreed to this marriage."
However, she felt that He Zhiyan was interested in Song Yanjun, so she just had to wait three more days.
Ah Man understood immediately.
So the young lady only said that if Miss He disagreed, let Liangchen come to see her, but she did not explicitly say that if Miss He agreed, she should also ask someone to pass on the message, because if she didn't come, it meant she agreed.
As soon as Lu Xiang returned home, she was told that Chu Jinyan had arrived. Thinking that he was accompanying Qiao Yuanan to the Shen Mansion to propose marriage today, she didn't know whether it would go smoothly, so she hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran to the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father sitting in the main seat with a fear and trepidation, talking to Chu Jinyan with a flattering smile on his face. Chu Jinyan nodded in agreement with an expressionless face, but Lu Xiang could see through his impatience at a glance.
If it weren't for the other party's status as a big shot, he would have turned the table and left long ago.
