Chapter 205 They are a perfect match!
In the main hall of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion, the Zhenyuan Marquis sat in the main seat and said sharply: "Mr. Chu is a bad boy and the son of a criminal. I don't think you are a good match for Xier!"
He didn't even want to look at Chu Ziyu because he looked too much like that man.
Chu Ziyu bowed his head and said, "Ziyu's legs are slowly recovering and there may be other hidden reasons behind my father's incident. Didn't the Marquis believe that his former friend would never commit treason and worked hard for him?"
Zhenyuan Hou laughed sarcastically: "I repay evil with kindness, but what about your father? What did he do back then?"
Chu Ziyu bowed his head again: "Maybe my father had no choice in what happened back then. A son should not criticize his father. Ziyu cannot judge anything!"
After saying that, he gritted his teeth again, stood up, and bowed deeply.
Things that ordinary people can do easily, he had to sweat profusely and tremblingly complete them.
Although a son should not blame his father, his father was wrong about that matter, so he apologized on behalf of his father.
Su Xun immediately ran over to support his elder brother. He carefully helped his elder brother to sit down, and then he knelt down with a plop. He looked up at Zhenyuan Hou and said sadly, "Foster father, although elder brother has a leg disease, he raised Axun with great difficulty with his crippled body. If it weren't for elder brother, father would definitely not have seen Axun. Please don't blame elder brother for the right and wrong and grudges of the past!"
Now that there was no outsider in the hall, he could finally call him "big brother" as he wished.
He knew every suffering his elder brother had endured in the Dali Temple for him, and he would not allow anyone to make things difficult for him, not even his own father!
In fact, how could the Marquis of Zhenyuan embarrass a junior? It was just that the faces that looked almost the same made him unable to help but get angry, just like when he beat Chu Zhaoming up after learning the truth.
Putting aside the fact that he was Chu Zhaoming's son, he also didn't want his daughter to marry such a man.
It’s not that he is a flatterer, but Chu Ziyu’s body is too weak and his life experience is too miserable. How can such a man protect his Xier?
He said to Su Xun with a sullen face: "Ah Xun, you should step down. It's not that your father intends to make things difficult for your elder brother, but he is not a good match for your elder sister!"
Su Xun kowtowed to him but did not retreat. He looked at him with a firm gaze.
"Axun, don't disobey the Marquis!" Chu Ziyu shouted coldly.
Su Xun stubbornly straightened his back and knelt beside him without moving.
Chu Ziyu sighed lightly and simply ignored him. Instead, he looked at Su Xi who was silent, and said softly: "I wonder if what the princess said just now still counts? If it counts, then Ziyu will ask for the Marquis's consent even if he uses all his pride. But if the princess also thinks that Ziyu is so unbearable, then today Ziyu will just treat it as an impoliteness!"
His voice was very soft, and even trembled slightly when you listened carefully.
He is afraid!
I was afraid that Su Xi was just acting hot-headed, that she would change her mind after receiving the protection of Marquis Zhenyuan, that she would also despise his miserable background, that I was just wishful thinking, and even more afraid that she would be embarrassed...
Su Xi pursed her lips and looked at him deeply. After a long time, she slowly shed a line of tears. She turned around and knelt down in front of Zhenyuan Hou, saying firmly: "Dad, I am unfilial. I really want to marry Ziyu!"
"Xier..." Chu Ziyu's heart finally settled down after hearing Su Xi say this. He murmured, then immediately stood up, gritted his teeth, and walked towards her step by step. Although he was sweating from the pain, he was happy to do it and even wanted to run two laps regardless of his life or death.
As long as he gets her true heart, he will have nothing to fear!
He came to her side with difficulty, endured the inhuman pain and slowly knelt beside her, holding her hand, gritting his teeth and said: "Zi Yu truly admires Xi'er, and will never leave her. She is the only one in this life. Please agree, Lord!"
Although he was gritting his teeth in pain, his face was full of determination, which made Marquis Zhenyuan look at him with admiration.
The boy in front of him not only looks similar to that man, but also has the same strong character.
Chu Zhaoming... was not only his close friend... but also a hurdle in his heart... He could never imagine how such a righteous man could be disrespectful to his future wife...
"Oh, this is the second time I've bowed to my parents. Isn't it too fast?" Chu Nanyue asked in surprise.
"Brother, I've been telling you. How could the Marquis, who is so sensible and loves his children, not agree to your marriage with the Princess? Look, isn't it done? In this case, it must be God's will. Look, you and the Princess not only have a brother in common, but it also makes up for the Marquis's regrets in the past!"
Su Xun's eyes lit up, and he immediately climbed up and hugged Zhenyuan Hou's legs, and said coquettishly: "Now that my elder brother and I have the same father, I know that my foster father treats Axun the best!"
Su Mu also ran over and hugged the other leg of Zhenyuan Hou, cheering, "Daddy is the best. Mu Mu likes big brother the most. He taught Mu Mu to read and write much better than the teacher at Hanmo Academy. Big brother has become Mu Mu's brother-in-law, and he is like a family member. In the future, Mu Mu will not go to Hanmo Academy, and will learn from big brother!"
Marquis Zhenyuan looked at the two little ones that were tightly holding him on the left and right, and smiled helplessly.
Forget it, forget it, as long as Xier is happy!
What's more, Axun and Mumu were also happy.
Moreover, what Princess Yan said was not without reason. How could the union of Chu Ziyu and his Xier not, in a sense, make up for the regrets of him and Qinghua?
"Your Highness, the princess, the prince has made all the preparations for the eldest son to marry the princess. The eldest son and the princess can get married at any time!" Leng Jiu's voice suddenly sounded out of nowhere outside.
The corners of Chu Nanyue's lips curled up slightly. Didn't that guy just leave in a rage?
She turned her head and said to the Marquis of Zhenyuan with a serious expression, "My Lord, since my elder brother and the princess love each other, and the rumors are so widespread now, why don't we catch them by surprise on a chosen day? This matter will be resolved by itself. What do you think?"
At this moment, she acted like the mistress of their Chu family.
Although she is younger than the others, she is the only one who can go.
"My Lord, why don't you take a look at the betrothal gifts first? If you are not satisfied, our Chu family will offer you another one!"
Su Xun looked at his sister in admiration. His sister was eloquent, gentle and polite. She had blocked all the escape routes for his father. How could he say no?
But his father still said with a sullen face: "This marquis has just returned to the capital, and I want to spend more time with Xier!"
Leng Jiu's voice sounded again: "My Lord, you can't stay for a few days. Xihai can't do without you!"
As soon as he said this, the young people in the room looked at each other, and then they all suppressed their laughter.
The face of Zhenyuan Marquis darkened instantly, but he still held his composure: "Today is too hasty. Your Chu family has prepared everything, but our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has not yet prepared the dowry. Let's discuss it with my wife before setting a date!"
"My lord, the ninth day of May is an auspicious day for marriage. Why don't we set that day?" At this time, the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan came over gracefully. She bowed to Marquis Zhenyuan and then told the story.
After hearing what the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan said, Chu Ziyu finally calmed down.
The wife of Marquis Zhenyuan actually accepted him. He subconsciously looked at his sister, and his sister raised her eyebrows at him proudly.
He understood it, and his thin lips trembled.
He was really ashamed that Prince Yan and his sister had taken full responsibility for this marriage.
Marquis Zhenyuan immediately stood up and helped her up, his tone softening: "Thank you for your help, Madam, during the years that I have been away from home!"
He heard that the Madam was ill, but he had to deal with Xier's matter first. He hadn't had time to visit her yet. He looked at the Madam with a radiant face and asked in confusion, "I heard that the Madam was ill, why do you look so well?"
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan touched her face and asked excitedly, "Really? Lord Marquis, is it so obvious?"
Zhenyuan Hou smiled: "She is so moist and shiny, and her face is like a peach blossom!"
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion was moved by what he said, and said excitedly, "This is all thanks to Princess Yan. Not only did she give me acupuncture and prescribe medicine, but she also gave me hydration for more than half an hour... Siba, is it Siba? Princess Yan."
Chu Nanyue smiled and said, "Yes, it's a hydrating spa, but it's because you have a good foundation, madam. Otherwise, no matter how much water you add, you can't have such a smooth and moisturizing effect as you. When the princess marries into my Chu family, I will give her this hydrating spa. There are also wrinkle removal spa, nourishing spa, yoga therapy, etc. There are too many, I will teach the princess so that she can repair it for you. Anyway, our two families are close, so it's no problem for her to come back home every day. Our Chu family is very open and democratic in this regard. You can see from me that we will definitely give the princess all freedom. As long as she marries into our Chu family, she will be the only mistress of our Chu family, and we will follow her in everything!"
The wife of Marquis Zhenyuan felt very comforted by her words. After all, she was an experienced person and knew that power and wealth were not important. The most important thing was to have her husband's company.
Although Chu Ziyu is a poor man, her daughter Xier's reputation is ruined. He can still offer such a large amount of betrothal gifts to propose marriage at this critical moment, which shows his sincerity.
The two of them are a perfect match!
The key point is that she was severely brainwashed by Chu Nanyue.
"The Princess of Yan is indeed open-minded. Since my Xier can come back home every day, I think it is better to choose a day. Today is also an auspicious day. My Lord, what do you think?"
The wife of Marquis Zhenyuan looked at him eagerly. She had not seen her husband for many years and wanted to be alone for two days.
Marquis Zhenyuan's face was so dark that no color could be seen, but he felt guilty towards his wife, so he quickly agreed with a smile.
