Chapter 42: Why don't you take a piss and look at your son's stupid appearance?
Two major events occurred in the capital.
The engagement between Grand Tutor An's Mansion and General Yongwei's Mansion was cancelled. Before leaving, Grand Tutor An took two buckets of manure and poured them at the door of the General's Mansion, then walked away.
Prince Jing and Princess Jingning, brother and sister, who had been away from the capital for eight years, returned.
Zhao Mingzhu felt a sense of awe when she heard Master An throwing feces.
"Then why did Prince Jing and Princess Jingning leave the capital?"
In the online plot summary, Prince Jing and Princess Jingning were briefly mentioned without any useful information at all.
This plot summary is really useless. It seems that except for the part about the original owner when I first came here, the rest is either mentioned in passing or has no information at all.
Gu Yu chewed the vegetables, but the food was tasteless: "Why don't you ask my brother?"
Zhao Mingzhu thought that she was too embarrassed to go back to the Eastern Palace, and she didn't dare to get close to him.
Zhao Mingzhu was about to ask again, but seeing that Gu Yu was not in a good mood, she put the question aside and said:
"Princess...I've always felt that you and the Crown Prince weren't very close. Is it an illusion?"
"No." Gu Yu said calmly: "I am afraid of him."
Because of fear, there is no intimacy between siblings.
Zhao Mingzhu instinctively knew that this question couldn't be asked in detail. She scratched her head and said:
"How about we go find An Yun after school?"
…
In General Yongwei's mansion, the whole house was filled with the stench of feces, and Mrs. Bai sat in the flower hall with an expressionless face.
General Yongwei dared not utter a word: "Madam, anger is harmful to your health."
Bai Wei, with a silk handkerchief stuffed in her nose, also said, "Mother really likes Yun'er, so let my second brother go and coax her back. He's also a child at heart, and who knows, he might change his mind and think Yun'er's good again tomorrow."
General Yongwei was a rough and rude warrior. He was not capable of speaking softly and could only agree:
"Yes, ma'am."
"It's your grandmother's leg!" Mrs. Bai shouted, and General Bai, who was as strong as a bear, instantly became as weak as a quail.
"Who is An Yun? Her father is the Grand Tutor! Do you think her daughter is a cabbage on the West Market stall, available for anyone to pick and choose? If you don't want her, just give her up, and if you do, just ask for another? How dare you be so shameless! Are you a royal relative?! Why don't you take a piss and look at your son's stupid face? Fine, fine, cancel the engagement. If Yun marries that evildoer, it won't be a good thing. It will be her retribution!"
General Bai didn't dare to refute her and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, madam is right."
Mrs. Bai became angrier and angrier as she spoke, so Bai Wei quickly handed her some tea to help her calm down.
"That evil creature, I shouldn't have had such thoughts in the first place. I wasted my precious daughter's time..."
She held the teacup and began to cry:
"If Lan'er hadn't disappeared, this marriage would have fallen on him. A sensible and steady child like him would definitely not do anything absurd and disappoint Yun."
Bai Lan, Bai Mu and An Yun grew up together, but when they were traveling together they encountered robbers. In order to protect his younger siblings, Bai Lan went alone to divert the robbers and has since disappeared.
An Yun and Bai Mu fell off a cliff while escaping. After waking up from injuries, they both lost their memory and forgot what had happened.
After examining the case, the Imperial Medical Bureau recommended that the two should not be forced to act recklessly. She suppressed her sadness and refrained from asking any further questions, secretly searching for her eldest son.
But Bai Lan disappeared like a stone into the sea, and there has been no news of him since then.
Three years later, Bai Mu came to her and begged her, saying that he liked An Yun. She also really liked that girl and wanted to marry her in exchange.
After discussing with Grand Tutor An, he told the two that they had been engaged since childhood and were just waiting for him to come of age before getting married.
But time has passed, and Bai Mu has changed his mind...
"Mother!" Bai Mu came back from the Imperial College, holding his nose.
"The cesspool exploded, why is it so smelly?"
"Are you satisfied that Grand Tutor An came here in person to cancel the engagement?" Mrs. Bai had a blank expression on her face.
General Bai and his daughter looked at each other, then walked out along the wall.
Bai Mu was stunned after hearing this. So soon? He thought An Yun would take some time to come.
"Since it's such a big deal to cancel the engagement, why didn't mother send someone to call me back?"
Bai Mu frowned. He fell in love with someone else. It was his fault for breaking his promise. He should solemnly apologize to Master An and An Yun.
"What does it matter whether you return or not? Do you want Grand Tutor An to drown you in a bucket of excrement right here and now?"
"Oh, don't worry, you won't drown, because... I'll beat you to death!"
Mrs. Bai roared, grinned, and swung the copper-headed rattan stick at her side, whipping Bai Mu so hard that he spun like a top.
General Bai and his daughter, who were closing the doors and windows outside, shrank their heads as they listened.
Bai Wei couldn't help but ask, "Father, does Mother really intend to beat him to death?"
The sound of the vine breaking through the air mixed with Bai Mu's screams was really scary.
"Don't worry, it won't happen." General Bai knew his wife very well.
"He was only out of bed for three months."
Bai Wei: ...a moment of silence.
In Grand Tutor An's mansion, three girls were lying on the jade bed, and Zhao Mingzhu was rolling around.
Listening to An Yun say: "We have to celebrate properly, Bai Mu and I are completely done with each other!"
Gu Yu folded his hands on his abdomen and slept soundly:
"It's going so smoothly? I thought you guys would take a while."
An Yun heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "I had thought it would be like in the storybooks, with the two families blaming each other, making harsh remarks, and then parting on bad terms. Finally, they'd find out who was at fault, me or Bai Mu, and bring the matter before His Majesty before the engagement could be successfully cancelled."
But there is none of this.
Aunt Bai and Uncle Bai even understood her approach very well. After listening to his father's reprimand of Bai Mu and asking her what she thought, they quickly agreed.
An Yun thought that even if Bai Mu changed his mind, Aunt Bai and Uncle Bai still loved her sincerely.
"It's just that the Bai family and I are not destined to be together, alas." She had a hunch that the couple would treat her very well.
"By the way, Mingzhu, have you finished reading the storybook? I have some new stuff that's quite exciting." An Yun said excitedly, propping herself up on her elbows.
Zhao Mingzhu wilted instantly after hearing this and pointed at Gu Yu:
"I'll leave it here with you first. Her brother saw my last copy. It was so embarrassing."
After hearing this, Gu Yu also stood up: "What's your reaction, brother?"
Zhao Mingzhu: "I read the title word for word... I don't want to recall his reaction."
An Yun's eyes widened after hearing this: "Which book? 'Love Chaser', 'The Romantic Young Master Searches for His Wife 300 Times', 'The Overbearing Swordsman Forces Marriage', 'The Handsome Monk and the Pretty Nun'..."
When reading the last book, Zhao Mingzhu hummed softly.
An Yun took a deep breath: "Then you are so unlucky."
Gu Yu did not say anything. She looked at the dejected Zhao Mingzhu. Her royal brother, who had actually not cared about her punishment at the beginning, would actually interact with her like this one day.
Then she thought, it was not just Gu Qingheng, she was the same.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's change the subject."
Zhao Mingzhu rolled over An Yun, went to the innermost part of the bed and started facing the wall. An Yun and the others didn't know that she was even more unlucky because she climbed onto Gu Qingheng's bed.
I'd better not talk about this part, otherwise you will die of laughter.
"I'll take a nap first. An Yun asked your maid to go to the East Palace and tell her that I'm sleeping with you tonight."
She wanted to avoid it as long as she could. She really didn't have the courage to go back and face Gu Qingheng.
