Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 10: Prince Dun's Wife

Of course Chu Anlan understood what Ye Wanqing said, and he was extremely happy.

As long as he could strike a blow to Lu Jilian, he would feel secretly happy.

Chu Anlan was so happy that he reached into his bosom and took out a pair of royal blue earrings. He held them in front of Ye Wanqing and said, "Miss Ye, long time no see! These are for you."

The earrings were made of neither gold nor silver, but they were strangely shaped like a rose. In the center was a sparkling sapphire, which sparkled like a flower stamen. They were extremely beautiful.

"How long?" Ye Chenxi blinked his big eyes and counted on his fingers seriously: "An Lan, you and my sister, it seems that you haven't seen each other for more than half a month."

Chu Anlan turned his head and glared at him: "Ye Chenxi, you are so long-winded! Children should not interrupt when adults are talking, go to a cool place!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Ye Wanqing with a smile: "Put it away, don't lose it."

"Thank you!" Ye Wanqing did not refuse and took the earrings naturally.

"Wait a minute." Chu Anlan suddenly leaned over, stuck his head into the car through the window, and whispered in her ear: "You accepted my earrings today, so you can't accept gifts from others in the future!"

Ye Wanqing was full of affection for him, and her heart was beating fast. A blush appeared on her face, and she nodded and said, "Yes. I promise you!"

Seeing this, Ye Chenxi and Qianxi both showed expressions of surprise and ecstasy.

Ye Chenxi, who was always looking for trouble, kept making trouble: "Oh my, brother An Lan is so overbearing! My sister didn't agree to marry you..."

"Go away - what a mess!" Chu Anlan fanned his hands as if to shoo away flies, but there was a smug smile on his face.

Ye Wanqing put the earrings into the purse she carried with her and waved to Chu Anlan: "It's getting late, Prince, please go back early! Goodbye!"

After saying this, Qianxi closed the curtain, and the carriage started moving, raising clouds of dust.

Chu Anlan was stunned: "Huh?"

No, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Let's talk more!

He didn't even drink Ye Chenxi's wine!
And choked me with a mouthful of dirt, cough cough cough——

As soon as Ye Wanqing's carriage left, Prince Hua Yao and others came up to Chu Anlan.

Prince Huayao put his arm around Chu Anlan's shoulders and teased, "Anlan, what are you doing here? You look like a crazy girl. Which girl were you talking to just now?"

"What do you care!" Chu Anlan pulled his hand away from his shoulder and turned away.

Prince Hua Yao tried to persuade him to stay: "Don't leave, An Lan. We finally finished the exam. Let's go to Yipinju to relax. There will be a belly dance performance by the courtesan Xiao Taohong tonight!"

Little peach? Haha.

How could the courtesan of Yipinju be even one-tenth as good as Ye Wanqing?

Chu Anlan jumped on his horse and said, "It's late. I have to go back to eat!"

Prince Huayao and others looked at each other.

What's wrong with this Prince Dun?

How come I’m not even interested in my favorite belly dance?

……

Ye Mansion.

Although the sun had already set, the sky was still weakly bright white, with only half of the sky turning dark as if a rainstorm was about to come, as if ink was about to melt but had not yet condensed into sparse cloud strips.

Ye Chenxi and Ye Wanqing were both very hungry, so they went straight to the dining room as soon as they got off the car.

On the mahogany table were placed fragrant rice porridge, lotus leaf chicken, shredded fish, eight-treasure tofu, and pork rib soup, a combination of meat and vegetables. Although there were not many dishes, they were clearly all their favorites.

"Dad, Mom! It's time for dinner!"

Ye Chenxi was ready to go, drooling at the sight of dinner as he spoke.

Chu Yanrong and Ye Hongwei said nothing, their expressions were serious. Ye Chenxi couldn't wait any longer, and rushed over to grab a chicken leg to chew.

Chu Yanrong was about to stop him when Ye Hongwei shouted and started to show off his power: "Ye Chenxi! Have you learned all the rules I taught you?"

Ye Chenxi lowered his head awkwardly, looked at the chicken leg reluctantly, swallowed his saliva, and then obediently ran to the kitchen to wash his hands.

"Dad! Mom! Qing'er is back."

Compared with his brother, Ye Wanqing is obviously much more sensible.

She stood gracefully, bowed to her parents, her posture elegant and calm, like a rose blooming in spring.

Ye Hongwei looked at his well-educated and well-mannered daughter with a frown on his face.

Why do you have to stick such a beautiful flower into pig manure?
Chu Anlan!
He really wanted to press Chu Anlan into pig manure and make him roll around to vent his anger.

Ye Hongwei concealed these emotions silently, without showing any expression, and just stared at Ye Wanqing and said: "Chu Anlan and Lu Jilian, you saw them in the Imperial College, right?
Ye Wanqing hummed, raised her head and said, "Dad, Qing'er told the prince all her thoughts. He also promised that he would plead for me in front of the Queen Mother. I think the Queen Mother will not force me to marry Lu Jilian anymore."

Ye Hongwei listened, drank the remaining sorghum wine in the bowl, and said under the influence of alcohol: "Qing'er, you are not young anymore, and you have your own opinions, which is a good thing. However, marriage is a lifelong event, and you must bear the consequences of your choice. Your mother and I have advised you before, and if you still insist on marrying Chu Anlan, we will not stop you.

Tomorrow, I will ask someone to cancel the marriage proposal from the Lu family and accept the marriage proposal from Prince Dun's mansion. But if you regret it in the future, don't come back and blame us! Remember, this is entirely your own choice! Do you understand?"

"Qing'er understands, thank you, Daddy!"

Ye Wanqing was overjoyed and all her worries were swept away.

Ye Hongwei said with a hard mouth but a soft heart: "After you get married, if Chu Anlan ever lets you down in any way, just come back and tell me and your mother. We will help you get justice even if it costs us our lives! I, Ye Hongwei's daughter, must not suffer any injustice!"

"Yeah!" Ye Wanqing was happy and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel particularly moved.

She sniffed, and the tears that had gathered in her eyes fell down like pearls from a broken string.

"Okay, stop crying. Qing'er, let's eat!"

Chu Yanrong rubbed her daughter's head, took her hand and sat down to eat together.

……

the next day.

Since last night, Jindu has been shrouded in continuous rain.

Occasionally, lightning would tear apart the thick clouds, illuminating the dark sky, followed by a loud thunderclap, which would make people panic.

Ye Wanqing was woken up early in the morning. She had just read a book in Jinghong Garden for a while when she heard Qianxi report: Prince Dun’s wife is here!

When her future mother-in-law arrived, Ye Wanqing naturally did not dare to neglect her and hurried back to her room to wash up.

On the other side, Chu Yanrong had already gone to meet the guest.

"Jingqiu, you're here!"

Chu Yanrong and Prince Dun's wife grew up together and are as close as sisters.

The wife of Prince Dun, who was originally drinking tea, quickly put down her teacup and went to greet her and bowed: "Your concubine greets the princess."

Chu Yanrong enthusiastically held her hand and said in a feigned anger, "Jingqiu is so restrained, I'm afraid you don't consider me a sister anymore?"

The wife of Prince Dun smiled and said, "Sisters are sisters, and rules are rules. We still need to do enough superficial work to avoid being too polite."

Chu Yanrong sat down with her and drank tea together: "It's been a long time since we last met, and you are still so polite. Are you all right?"

"Thanks to my sister, everything is fine. Are you in good health, sister?"

"I am in good health! Thank you for your concern, sister."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before the wife of Prince Dun got to the point: "Why don't you see Wanqing? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a lot..."
