After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Chapter 179 She is very suitable for His Highness the Crown Prince

Liu Qianran froze in his movements. Seeing that his sister had clearly seen it, he didn't hide it anymore. He lowered his head and looked at the silver hairpin in his hand.

Liu Zhaoran came closer and took a closer look, becoming more and more certain that the hairpin was exactly the same as when his eldest brother was bitten by a poisonous snake and Chu Huanyan used it to cut the wound and squeeze out the poisonous blood.

However, didn’t Brother Hairpin allow him to return his joyful face before?

"I remembered that when I returned the hairpin to Huanyan, she said that the hairpin was very new. At that time, I thought you had asked someone to clean it, so..." Liu Zhaoran looked at his eldest brother with a complicated expression, " Isn’t it the original one that was returned?”

Liu Qianran showed embarrassment on his face and nodded lightly, "I found someone to make a copy of that hairpin. I kept the real one."

"Why?" Liu Zhaoran asked in confusion. After he finished speaking, he looked at his eldest brother and couldn't help but said, "Brother, do you like Huanyan?"

Liu Qianran looked at the hairpin in his hand. After a long time, he slowly said, "Yes, I felt very attracted to her when I saw it for the first time. Later, she treated my wounds and I became more and more attracted to her."

At first, he really planned to return the hairpin, but then he suddenly got the idea to keep the hairpin as a souvenir.

He also knew that such behavior was very rude and unworthy of publicity, but he just couldn't suppress the thought at that time.

"Since eldest brother, you like to have fun with her, then why don't you say so. And you also agreed to your father's meeting with the young lady from the Lost Kingdom Mansion, you..."

Liu Zhaoran was halfway through his words when he saw the look on his eldest brother's face and couldn't help but stop.

"Brother, do you think your father won't agree?"

"Then do you think father will agree?" Liu Qianran asked.

Liu Zhaoran pursed his lips and shook his head. His father would definitely not agree.

For his father, his eldest brother's marriage is more important than his own. It is an excellent bargaining chip for the court to strategize. How could he let them make the decision? It's just...

"Just because you think your father won't agree, why don't you even fight for it?"

"Since you know that the final result will be in vain, why waste your efforts." Liu Qianran clenched the hairpin in his hand.

Of course, he could behave casually and approach Chu Huanyan first, but what next?
He didn't have the slightest confidence that his father would agree to the marriage, so there was no need to provoke him. If rumors arose, it would cause trouble for Chu Huanyan.

"But brother, won't you feel sad about this?"

She obviously likes someone else, but not only does she not dare to express her feelings, but she also has to obey her father's arrangement and marry someone else.

Liu Qianran smiled and looked at his sister gently, "Whether it's sad or regretful, there are some things that I am destined to bear the responsibility of. However, eldest brother hopes that you can marry a man you want, and marry the man you really like. People. For example..."

The smile on Liu Qianran's face grew stronger, suppressing the emotions that had just surged up, and instead turned to a bit of joking.

"For example, Pei Zhaoqing."

"Brother..." Liu Zhaoran felt sad.

It seems that the eldest brother still doesn't know that her father hopes that she and Pei Zhaoqing can terminate their engagement.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Liu Zhaoran's eyes turning red, Liu Qianran frowned, "Did something happen?"

Liu Zhaoran was in a complicated mood, his eyes fell on Liu Qianran, and finally he shook his head.

"No, it's nothing, I just feel a little sorry for the elder brother." The elder brother obviously has someone he likes, but he still obeys his father's arrangements for the sake of his responsibility as the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Palace.How could she selfishly cause trouble to her eldest brother for the sake of her engagement?

"Silly girl, brother is fine."

Liu Qianran spoke with a smile, hesitated for a moment, and handed the hairpin in his hand to Liu Zhaoran.

"Actually, it's just a little flutter. It's nothing. I'm getting engaged soon, and this hairpin is not suitable to keep, so I'll leave it to you. Whether you keep it or return it to Miss Chu... forget it. It’s better for you to keep it, and don’t let Miss Chu know about it, so as not to affect the relationship between her and His Royal Highness.”

"Brother, do you know that Huanyan and His Highness the Crown Prince..." Liu Zhaoran quickly stopped mid-sentence, swallowed the word "engagement", and then spoke, "I mean, those are just rumors, how did you confirm that Huanyan and His Majesty the Crown Prince..." Is there really love between the Crown Prince and His Highness?"

"I saw it in the prison that time." Liu Qianran leaned back, his posture rarely relaxed, "They... are very suitable."

If in the past, he just knew that there would be no results and felt that there was no need to provoke him, then in the prison, he really felt that even if his father could agree, His Royal Highness was far more suitable for Chu Huanyan than him.

He looks forward and backward, and there are too many things to consider. Even his future wife will never be the first priority in his life.

But His Highness the Crown Prince is different. He really puts Chu Huanyan in front of everything.

Liu Zhaoran held the hairpin he took with mixed emotions, but after searching for a long time, he found that there was no way to comfort her.

If at this moment, the eldest brother likes Huanyan and tries hard to be with her but fails, he may be able to comfort himself.

But the eldest brother gave up from the beginning. As for Huanyan, perhaps she has never even known his thoughts, so how can she comfort him.

"Brother, don't worry, I will keep this hairpin well." Liu Zhaoran said in a low voice.

"Okay." Liu Qianran responded with a smile, "By the way, what did you do when you came here just now?"

"No." Liu Zhaoran shook his head, "I just happened to pass by while taking a walk. I'm going back first. Brother, you should rest early."

Liu Qianran nodded, watched Liu Zhaoran leave, then walked out of the study and called out.

Soon, Hanmo arrived outside the study, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"Go and inquire to see if anything has happened to the young lady in the past two days." Liu Qianran whispered, "Especially about her and Pei..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Qianran suddenly paused.

"I was too negligent."

He had been in a complicated mood these past few days, and he had neglected such an important point.

"Sir, what did you neglect?" Hanmo asked in confusion.

Liu Qianran did not speak, but frowned.

Once the marriage between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Shi Guogong's Mansion is decided, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention.If coupled with the marriage between Zhao Ran and Zhong Yong in the Marquis Mansion, the flowers were decorated with brocade and the fire was cooking oil. It seemed lively, but it would inevitably arouse the fear of others, even the emperor.

How could his father not understand this? Since he still wants to get engaged to Miss Shi, it means that he is likely to give up the engagement between Zhao Ran and Zhao Qing.

Liu Qianran walked towards the direction of Prime Minister Liu's courtyard, but he stopped again before going far.

Even if he goes to persuade him, can his father really change his mind?
