Chapter 491: Stop Talking About Marriage
Halfway through the conversation, he felt a little stuck.
He saw the man's strong possessiveness in the eyes of the Eighth Prince.
"As you wish." Chu Jinyan nodded, his eyes like frost and snow, making Du Yuheng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He murmured subconsciously: "How is it possible?"
"How is that impossible?" Chu Jinyan asked with a dark face.
Du Yuheng was frightened by his cold gaze and choked: "..."
It's impossible anywhere.
If the Eighth Prince and the Third Miss Lu were in love with each other, why did no one know about it?
As if seeing through Du Yuheng's inner thoughts, Chu Jinyan said indifferently: "My relationship with her doesn't need to be known to others now. Du Yuheng, stop wasting time. If you didn't know before, I can forgive you, but if you dare to go to Lu's house again from now on, you can try to see if your head is firmly around your neck."
The naked threat made Du Yuheng's calves tremble instantly, and he looked at Chu Jinyan tremblingly.
"No...I don't dare."
Oh my god.
He was actually competing with the Eighth Prince for a woman!
Woo woo woo…
Du Yuheng burst into tears in his heart, and was frightened to death.
Seeing that he was sensible and did not go against him, Chu Jinyan showed a satisfied look: "It's good that you understand, go back."
Du Yuheng stood up suddenly upon hearing this, and the stool made a harsh sound on the ground.
"I'll take my leave."
After quickly bowing and saying this, Du Yuheng ran out of the door as if he was escaping. His speed was so fast that it seemed that if he was a step slower, he would have lost his life.
"Tsk tsk, so miserable. The frightened little look is just like a young wife being bullied by a bully." Sheng Xian looked at Du Yuheng who was fleeing in panic and said sympathetically with his arms folded across his chest.
…
Du Yuheng ran to the outside of Chunman Building in one breath. The cold wind made his back, which was already cold, shiver even more. His pale face looked like he had just been beaten by a bully.
He shook his head, walked unsteadily to find a carriage, and asked someone to take him back to Cheng Anbo's Mansion.
The servant in the mansion was about to pay his respects, but when he looked up, he saw the pale face of his young master and was immediately startled. It took him a long while to come back to his senses, and he asked tremblingly: "Seventh...Seventh Young Master, what happened?"
How come I look like I've been abused after coming back from a trip?
Du Yuheng waved his hands weakly.
Wasn't he abused?
It is both physically and mentally abusive.
He finally fell in love with a girl, but her love was crushed to death in the soil before it could even sprout. Yet he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Cheng Anbo was instructing the servants about all the arrangements for the banquet to be held in the mansion in a few days. When she saw her son, she smiled and called out, "Heng'er is back."
"Mom." Du Yuheng called out weakly.
"What's going on?"
Du Yuheng shook his head: "It's okay, just a little tired."
This young master feels bitter, but he cannot say it.
No matter why the Eighth Prince did not declare his sovereignty to the outside world, he could not casually tell others about the relationship between him and Lu Xiang, otherwise he would be skinned and tortured by the Eighth Prince.
"Is it because the Hanlin Academy has too much to do? You are such a fool. You should be lazy when you need to be lazy. No one will feel sorry for you if you exhaust yourself." Mrs. Cheng Anbo looked at her youngest son with concern and said, "I will ask the kitchen to stew some tonic for you later so that you can nourish your body."
Du Yuheng nodded perfunctorily: "Mom, I'll go back to the house first."
"Go ahead." Mrs. Cheng Anbo said. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she called Du Yuheng again: "Heng'er, wait a moment."
"What's wrong?"
"We will have a banquet in a few days. I will also send an invitation to Miss Lu San. What do you think? This is a good opportunity for you to ask her what she thinks in private. If she is interested in you, mother can ask the official matchmaker to come to her house to propose marriage as soon as possible."
Although Madam Lu said that Lu Xiang's marriage would be approved by the Empress, what if her son fell in love with Lu Xiang at first sight? As long as Lu Xiang agreed, could the Empress still break up the couple?
Considering how much the Queen likes Lu Xiang, not only will she not object, but she will also make a big fuss about her marriage.
His son married Lu Xiang and had the Queen's support, but he still worried that he wouldn't be able to climb up in the future.
What's more, her son is not a playboy, but a man of real talent and learning. As long as the Queen gives him a little support, Heng'er will be able to rise to the top.
Mrs. Cheng Anbo had a good idea, and when Du Yuheng heard this, he jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and said excitedly: "Mother, please don't, don't mention my marriage with Lu Xiang anymore, let's just leave it at that."
Your son wants to live a few more years.
Although he was unwilling, regretful and heartbroken, he couldn't joke about his own life and the fate of Cheng'anbo's Mansion.
Mrs. Cheng Anbo looked at her son's horrified expression and was stunned: "Why... why?"
Who is it that has been obsessed with Lu Xiang these days, and who is it that took great pains to find precious music scores for her after hearing about Lu Xiang's piano skills? He obviously cares about her very much, so why did his attitude suddenly change?
"Mom, don't ask so many questions. Anyway, I don't want to marry Lu Xiang anymore. Don't mention this matter again, and don't spread it around to ruin Miss Lu's reputation. Otherwise, our Du family will be in great trouble."
Du Yuheng said nervously.
When Madam Cheng Anbo heard him speak so seriously, her expression changed slightly: "Did the Queen send a message to you?"
Will marrying Lu Xiang bring disaster to Cheng Anbo's Mansion?
Apart from the threat from the Queen, Mrs. Cheng Anbo had no other thoughts.
So he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. What did the Queen mean by this? Did she look down on the Du family?
Even though Lu Xiang is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works, their Cheng'an Marquis Mansion is not bad either, and is even more noble than the Lu family. No matter how delicate Lu Xiang is, she is not a princess, so how can she not be worthy of them?
"It's not the Queen, mother, please stop guessing and just listen to me."
It’s the Eighth Prince who is more terrifying than the Queen.
If it was the Empress, there might be room for her to turn for the worse, but Lu Xiang was the Imperial Concubine chosen by the Eighth Prince. Unless he was retrained, no one would dare to snatch her away from the Eighth Prince.
Mrs. Cheng Anbo saw that Du Yuheng was holding his tongue and was so angry that she hit him and said, "You stupid kid, you can't even speak clearly. It makes me so anxious."
Du Yuheng allowed himself to be beaten and scolded: "Mom, my son is serious about what he is saying to you, please don't take it lightly."
"I understand." Mrs. Cheng Anbo replied through gritted teeth.
