"Is the princess angry because our Du family didn't accept your favor?" Chu Yun asked with a smile.
It was not affected at all by Roy's outward momentum.
Let the ghosts see the momentum that the Roy people put on.
She blushed and felt more embarrassed than ever before.
Originally, he wanted to show in front of Qin Mi that he could rule the Du family submissively, but in the end, he was embarrassed first.
Now she didn't dare to turn her head to look at Qin Mi, for fear of seeing his disappointed expression.
At this time, she somewhat hated this so-called savior.
With such a person, why did she owe her a favor in the first place?
She didn't ask for help, so couldn't she just pretend she didn't see it?
As a result, now she couldn't even get angry at Du Ruoling, she was so depressed that she was dying.
The Roy man secretly gritted his teeth and calmed down the anger in his chest.
He forced a smile and said, "Does this princess seem to be such a stingy person?"
That's what she said, but her hard tone still showed her displeasure.
Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were worried, especially Mrs. Du.
I wanted to interrupt several times, but Mr. Du pressed me down.
Mr. Du feels that although his daughter has changed a lot, since his daughter was able to discover the suspicious points yesterday, her words today are certainly not without purpose. Now is really not the time to make trouble.
"It's fine if the princess is not angry. In fact, I'm not too worried about the princess being angry. After all, everyone says that you have good character and a bodhisattva heart."
"If I meet that narrow-minded person today, she might really be angry with me. She feels that since she is the princess, I should listen to her unconditionally and not have my own ideas."
Seeing Roy's expression getting darker and darker, Chu Yun smiled slightly and said, "I knew the princess was not that kind of person."
Roy:......
I couldn't hold my breath up and down, and I almost choked to death.
Mr. Du and Mrs. Du pursed their lips tightly, their hearts trembling.
Roy couldn't help but glance at Qin Mi and saw that he had no expression on his face, but he didn't feel relaxed in his heart.
She thought for a moment, immediately adjusted her expression, and her smile became gentle again.
"I won't be angry, but it concerns your lifelong happiness and the future safety of the Du family, so I still have to say a few more words."
"Tell me first, why did you decide not to break off the engagement?"
"Young Master Zhou and I have been engaged since we were young, and Young Master Zhou has never done anything to feel sorry for me or the Du family. Even if the Zhou family may suffer disaster in the future, breaking off the engagement now would be too much to add insult to injury.
Although our Du family is not a house of pure rituals, we still understand this point.
And didn’t you remind us, Princess? I discussed it with my parents. Anyway, the Du family also has a house in the capital. If we celebrate the New Year, we will go to the capital with Mr. Zhou. He will attend the Spring Festival, and we will find a way to take care of it.
Let’s take care of it and see if we can do something to remedy the situation before it happens.”
Mr. Du and Mrs. Du's eyes lit up when they heard this.
Yes, why didn't they think of this?
They haven't figured out what exactly Zhou's father was involved in. If the matter can be solved, since the princess can know what he probably did, why not make it clear to them and they can think of a solution.
Next year Zhou Zhurong will take the Chunwei exam. If he passes the exam, he will be lucky enough to find an official position in the court.
Then there's a better chance.
If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to call off the engagement.
Presumably by then, the Zhou family will not say anything more.
"There's no way to remedy it, so there's no need to waste your efforts."
"If it can be remedied, I will help you deal with it directly. Why go all the way back to Mianzhou to tell you."
Chu Yun smiled, knowing that Roy was just talking nonsense. She probably didn't even know what Zhou's father was involved in.
"Then we have to give it a try. We know there is nothing we can do to save the situation, but the Zhou family may not believe it. The Zhou family and my Du family have known each other for many years. I also have some friendship with Mr. Zhou, so I don't want to do things so badly."
Roy people secretly scolded Chu Yunming for his stubbornness.
"But you are already sixteen this year. After the New Year, you will be seventeen, and in two years you will be nineteen." There were some people who got married at the age of nineteen in the Qin Dynasty, but they were all considered late marriages.
Those who haven't gotten engaged at the age of nineteen are rare.
What's more, from the engagement to the wedding, it will take another year to complete the six rites.
"I understand that you can't live up to the Zhou family's reputation, but you only live for a few decades, why should you ruin your whole life for some vain face or reputation."
"People are born selfish. This is nature. Everyone also has the right to seek a better life for themselves. You are not wrong."
"I also believe that Mr. Du and Mrs. Du also want their daughters to live well."
Roy was annoyed by Chu Yun's nonsense and directly said the lines she had prepared early in the morning.
"Let me tell you something that only a few of us can listen to. In this era, it is a bit unfair for women. It is already difficult for women to live in the world. Why not let yourself live a better life, but only for other people's mouth?
It’s not fair to you to bear something that you shouldn’t bear for the few words of praise in it.”
"In this world, no one will ever live your life for you, and no one will be more responsible for yourself than you. Therefore, everyone should live for themselves."
Roy was sensitive enough to notice that the man next to her glanced at her thoughtfully.
That look was extremely shocking, but not boring, but showed a hint of appreciation.
This made her feel at ease.
She has thousands of years of experience compared to people of this era, so it shouldn't be difficult to convince these ancient people.
Chu Yun did not answer her immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a moment. After taking two breaths, he raised his head and said, "What you said seems to make sense."
Roy was overjoyed, "Of course. Now that I have received His Majesty's grace and some conveniences, I will naturally give you the best within my capabilities.
Only then can I repay your life-saving grace."
Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were a little nervous. They didn't know which song Chu Yun was singing, "Daughter, you..."
"Father, mother, and daughter think the princess is right, people should live for themselves.
But since I live for myself, if I really want to break off the engagement, I must find someone I like. I don’t particularly care about the others. I just like a handsome husband. I don’t know if you want to help me match him, Princess.
Who is this young master and what is his appearance?"
Roy was overjoyed and said, "This is Guo Jingyuan, the second son of Duke Rongguo in the capital. Duke Rongguo is the only hereditary successor in our Great Qin.
Don't worry, he is a rare handsome man in Beijing. You will definitely like him if you see him."
Turns out he's a face-controller. You should have told me earlier.
Roy originally wanted to let the Du family break off the engagement first and then she would tell Guo Jingyuan.
But she was annoyed by Chu Yun, and now she was afraid that if she didn't tell who it was, she would be discouraged.
Roy believed that understanding Chu Yun's wishes was the key to whether the Du family would cancel the engagement.
She also found the Achilles heel of Chu Yun's Yan control, and her chances of winning were much better.
That’s why Guo Jingyuan was exposed directly.
In fact, if we strictly talk about his appearance, Guo Jingyuan is definitely handsome, and he has a certain charm about him.
He belongs to the kind of evil-looking male lead in novels or TV series who has a deep and unrepentant love for the heroine.
But compared to someone like Qin Mi, who has both looks and demeanor, he is still a little behind.
But she wasn't worried that Chu Yun would look down on her.
In the hearts of the Roy people, Guo Jingyuan is not as good as Qin Mi. How can he be inferior to a country man?
She can even take a liking to a man with slim legs from the country, so when she sees A Yuan, she will be unable to walk?
The Roy people had been led by Chu Yun unknowingly.
At this time, the attention was also on Chu Yun.
So I didn't see that Master Du and Mrs. Du's faces turned dark when they heard that Guo Jingyuan was the son-in-law she had chosen for their daughter.
The couple was so angry that they couldn't understand that there was something fishy going on here.
Fortunately, at the suggestion of my daughter, I specifically inquired about the young master who was close to Roy, and also inquired about Guo Jingyuan.
That Guo Jingyuan was ridiculous and infatuated with the Roy people. He once threatened that he would not marry anyone who was not from the Roy country in his life. He also said that if he could not marry, he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
If your daughter marries such a person, is she sure she can live a good life?
He's coaxing ghosts.
"There are all handsome men in the capital." Chu Yun said with a smile, "That should be prettier than all the young men in Mianzhou City."
Seeing that her heart seemed to be moved, a little starlight overflowed from her slightly smiling eyes.
The smile on Roy's lips widened, thinking that she had finally settled the matter. She almost made a fool of herself in front of Qin Mi today.
If she was obedient in the future, she could barely forgive her once and would only kindly remind A Yuan to pay attention.
But if she still refuses to obey, she will not be subject to the moral kidnapping of repaying her life-saving kindness. It is necessary to teach her a little lesson.
