I haven't seen Jinzhi these past two days.
[Where did Jinzhi go? Lian Jiucheng didn't really take Jinzhi to that prestigious banquet in the capital, did he?!]
Thinking about this, Yun Duoduo became restless.
However, she couldn't just stand up and leave, as King Kuan Lianxingchen was still talking non-stop.
"I don't want to marry her!"
King Lian Xingchen roared, startling the palace maids guarding the door, who quickly peeked inside, fearing something might happen to Yun Duoduo.
"Who are those people from the Marquis's family?"
"All they do is fight and kill all day long; they're all cannibals who eat raw flesh and don't spit out the bones!"
"The daughter of a marquis's family can't be much better. When she marries into a prince's family, she'll probably tear the house down!"
Lian Xingchen gestured as he spoke, looking quite indignant.
"The Marquis of the Marquis's mansion has fought countless battles and killed many people. His daughter must also be a rude, violent, and ruthless shrew!"
It turns out that the Marquis's family were officials who rose to power on horseback.
So it seems that Prince Kuan's mother wanted her son to marry someone from her own clan who held military power...
Their intentions are all too obvious.
Looking at Lian Xingchen's angry and furious expression, and his usual behavior, which was like that of a child, Yun Duoduo couldn't imagine what he would be like after he got married and started a family.
"Moreover, I am as handsome as Pan An, with eyes as bright as stars, a graceful and elegant man, and a charming and dashing figure. How could that daughter of a military family, who is known for fighting and killing, be worthy of me?!"
Lian Xingchen looked on in disbelief, as if his mother was about to sell him.
[His appearance was as handsome as Pan An, his eyes as bright as stars, and his demeanor as elegant as an orchid and a jade tree...]
Yun Duoduo looked at Lian Xingchen with a puzzled expression.
Did she hear that right?
[Is he describing himself as having eyes like bright stars, a handsome and refined appearance, and a dashing and debonair demeanor?]
Yun Duoduo looked him up and down. He was still the same as before.
Her bangs were swept to the side, covering half of her face. She was round and plump with a protruding belly. The blue brocade robe she wore was a little wrinkled, and she wore a pair of black cloth shoes.
She even suspected that he hadn't changed his shoes since she first met him.
Help!
No one would associate these words with her...
"So, you don't want to marry me?"
Yun Duoduo gave a concluding speech.
"Of course!"
Lian Xingchen took a big gulp of the tea he had brought with him.
Actually, what Yun Duoduo wanted to ask was that who you wanted to marry and who you didn't want to marry were none of her business.
She just wants to get rid of this little devil right now.
Is this Prince Kuan here to confide in me?
Just as Yun Duoduo was pondering the purpose of Lian Xingchen's visit, she suddenly saw Lian Xingchen looking at her with a pleading and mournful expression.
"Little sister Duoduo, please save my brother."
Lian Xingchen spoke sincerely, and Yun Duoduo was taken aback by this sudden change in attitude.
It was quite sudden...
What's going on here...?
"Your Majesty, you jest. Duoduo is merely a princess from another country. How could she possibly be of any help to Your Majesty?"
I've never even met your mother, how can I possibly help you?!
Besides, it's your wedding, not my brother Jinzhi's, so it has nothing to do with me!
"Hmph, if you don't want to help, then forget it."
Lian Xingchen pouted, looking disappointed.
"Why bother trying to fob me off with those words?"
Lian Xingchen picked up the teapot and made a move to walk outside.
"Brother, what does this mean?" Yun Duoduo didn't expect Lian Xingchen's expression to change faster than turning the pages of a book.
What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?
"I've heard about what happened to Lian Bichi last time."
When Lian Xingchen saw Yun Duoduo call her back, she put the things in her hand back down.
"Lian Bichi?"
Why is she being dragged into this again?
“Lian Bichi, relying on her status as a princess and her position in the Yong Prince’s mansion, was arrogant and domineering, and bullied and beat many women.”
Lian Xingchen's face showed disgust.
"Many young ladies from wealthy families who were bullied by her couldn't do anything about her."
“But as soon as you arrived, she was stripped of her title as a princess and locked up at home, and she hasn’t been able to go out since.”
Lian Xingchen's tone was full of admiration and incomprehension.
"So, you must have a way."
Wow, so this guy actually thinks I'm his strategist.
[They've come to me for advice.]
"Brother, you really overestimate me."
As Yun Duoduo spoke, she noticed that Lian Xingchen's expression suddenly darkened again, so she quickly asked.
"Brother, does your mother love you?"
"Of course it hurts! Why wouldn't it hurt? I'm the only son! My mother is the person who loves me the most in this world."
Lian Xingchen thought this was a matter of course; his mother loved him the most!
"Oh, that's simple then. Cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide. Check it out," Yun Duoduo said nonchalantly.
"Since your mother loves you, she certainly wouldn't want you to die or suffer."
Lian Xingchen stared wide-eyed at Yun Duoduo.
Yun Duoduo was somewhat surprised by Lian Xingchen's reaction.
"Seriously? You've never heard of this trick before?"
Lian Xingchen nodded thoughtfully: "If that's the case, then what if I said earlier that my mother doesn't love me?"
"Then you should spread the word throughout the capital that you are not interested in women. If the Marquis's family does not want to become a laughing stock in the capital and does not want to die out, they will naturally not marry their daughter to you."
