  Chapter 12: The Cost of the Chapter (12 points)

  Master Chu was shocked by the servant's words and hastily rushed to his study. As soon as he entered, he saw a person wearing a black cloak standing in the room, with a hood on their head and their body tightly wrapped up.

  He heard footsteps and turned around to see Master Chu. He immediately took off his wind hat and untied his cloak, throwing it aside.

  A man came in wearing a large-sleeved long shirt, with a clear and beautiful face, dark and deep eyes shining with an incomprehensible light, his pale thin lips slightly opened at this time, saying: "Zhu Yuxu pays respects to Grandfather." He knelt down.

  Chu Lao Hanlin hastily went forward to help him up, both astonished and shocked: "Yi Xuan? Why have you come here? How...how could you leave the sealed territory without permission? If this gets out, it's a capital offense! What happened at home?"

  Zhu Yifei's straight nose and beautiful lips opened with a faint smile, smiling and saying: "No, there is nothing at home, my father and mother are all well, how is your body, Grandfather? This weather has been extremely hot recently, you must take care of yourself, Grandmother. How is her body?"

  Chu Lao Ye was still in shock, and didn't have the calm mood to engage in leisurely conversation. He hastily asked again: "Hui Zuo, you came overnight, is there something urgent?"

  Zhu Yuxu slightly paused before nodding and saying: "Indeed, there is an urgent matter."

  "What's going on?" Chu Shaoshi immediately thought of the imperial court, after all, something that could make Zhu Yuetuo risk being beheaded by leaving his fiefdom couldn't be a small matter... Could it be... the Emperor himself?

  Just as Chu Shaoshi was lost in thought, almost scaring himself to death, Zhu Yuxu suddenly knelt down again: "This time I came, it's purely a personal matter... I beg for Grandfather's permission, I want to marry Sanmei Keqi as my wife."

  This answer was far from what Master Chu had in mind. Old Master Chu couldn't turn it around for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "What..."

  "Yi Ze came to ask for the hand of third sister Chu Ke Qi." Zhu Yi Ze respectfully kowtowed, his forehead touching the ground: "I, Yi Ze, like third sister and cannot extricate myself. If I am unable to marry her, I am willing to remain unmarried for life."

  A simple sentence, not particularly loud, yet it shocked Old Chu so much that he doubted his own ears.

  It took a while for him to react, and then he saw Zhu Yuxu still lying on the ground, his forehead motionless against the earth. The old man hastily helped him up, stuttering: "What...what's going on? Did I...did I hear wrong?" He didn't dare believe it.

  Zhu Yuhuan stood up, respectfully bowing his body and said: "Grandfather, you didn't hear wrong. Yuexu indeed came to ask for the hand of my third sister. On the Lantern Festival at the Duke's Mansion, Yuexu had already spoken with Mother about it, and Mother also agreed to the proposal. However, something else happened in the mansion, and there were some other misunderstandings, which delayed things. Yuexu knew that his cousin Yuheng was coming to the mansion to propose, so he couldn't wait any longer and could only take a risk and come here."

  The old man's mind can't keep up, what's going on today? Three people came to propose, all wanting to marry San Yaotou. One was driven away, one has already agreed, and they just spent half a day discussing the wedding arrangements. Tonight, another one comes and says that if he can't marry her, he'll remain single for life?

  It's too shocking, the old man really doesn't know what to say. The Duke of Guang's side had mentioned before that they wanted to form a marriage alliance, but at that time it was said that the fourth daughter, Chu Yunqing... If not for Yunqing having an accident later... The old man didn't know anything and his mind was confused, stuttering for half a day before saying: "The second son of Duke De Fu... is also Ke Ai's maternal cousin, he came this afternoon to propose marriage, I have already agreed..."

  "It's just a verbal agreement, and we haven't even reached an eight-character phrase, nothing has been done, it doesn't count."

  The old man disagreed as soon as he heard it, shaking his head and saying: "Even if it's just a verbal agreement, this is still an agreement. If words don't count, can you still be considered human?"

  Zhu Yifei didn't panic at all, and respectfully nodded: "Grandfather's teachings are correct, it's just that the grandson is wrong. However, Grandfather, you also hope that Ke'er's cousin will marry a good person, right? Deceiving her cousin, deceiving you, an elderly person, this kind of person, do you still want to marry her off to him?"

  "What did you just say? Zhu Yichen is a good person?" Old Master Chu's voice rose in surprise. Xue E wasn't a good person and had already been driven away, so...so was Zhu Yichen not a good person either? What deception?!

  "Yi Chen has already become engaged to someone else, their eight characters have been matched, and the betrothal gifts have been sent. Yet Yi Chen comes here seeking a marriage alliance, what is the meaning of this?"

  The old man was shocked and stunned, his anger suddenly rising: "Is this really happening?"

  Zhu Yingtai nodded and said: "It's true. Please sit down and listen to your grandson tell you from the beginning."

  The old man quickly sat down and asked, "What's going on?"

  Zhu Yifei sat at the lower head, respectfully speaking in a low voice: "It's like this, Yifei that side invited Wu Daren, the Taishi, as a matchmaker to propose marriage to Qiu Daren's family, and Qiu Daren agreed at the time. The two families began to combine their eight characters and set a wedding date. The groom's side also sent betrothal gifts. But for some reason, the wedding was suddenly cancelled. Yifei then ran over here to ask for the hand of Third Sister..."

  The old man was stunned: "Is this really true?"

  Zhu Yuhao nodded: "It's really true, Master Wu can ask about it... Before this matter, there was another one. Zhu Xun's uncle, Liu Maoshi, who came today, went to the Blue Ridge South Blue Duke's house last year to discuss the marriage between Zhu Xun and the seventh young lady of the Blue Duke, Lan Qixiang. At that time, the Blue Duke's family did not immediately agree. It was because the Blue Duke was not at home, and it was Mrs. Blue who received Liu Daren. As a woman, she didn't dare to make decisions on her own, so she temporarily asked Liu Daren to return and wait for the Blue Duke to discuss and respond after returning to the mansion. Who knew that this matter would also be dropped... The Blue Duke's family doesn't know why until now, and that Miss Lan Qixiang is still waiting for Zhu Yuhao to come and propose."

  First of all, Mr. Chu was extremely disgusted with Zhu Yichen for some reason. What kind of person is this who goes around seeking marriage and then backing out everywhere? His face has already turned dark, he's so angry that he can't even speak.

  "Even if you agree, or even if he comes over and makes a formal proposal, it may not count in the end... My third sister, Ke'er, is a clean and innocent girl, how can her reputation be tarnished like this? This kind of person who goes back and forth, speaking without keeping his word, Grandfather, how can you agree to marry your niece to him?"

  Master Chu sat there stupidly, really didn't know what to say, anyway he was very angry. Today, he had received so many frights.

  I thought Xue E was not good at writing, but after all, he is a relative, and his character is okay. Who knew that this morning I discovered that he was a despicable person.

  In the afternoon, Liu Maoxi brought Zhu Yuxuan over again and felt that Zhu Yuxuan's character was not bad, his writing skills were also good, and he was a outstanding person. Moreover, he had the intention of making up for the Liu family, so he agreed. Who would have thought that in the evening, he was shocked to discover that Zhu Yuxuan was a scoundrel who didn't keep his promises, sought marriage everywhere, and regretted it everywhere.

  The old man was completely stunned.

  Zhu Yifei said in a low voice, "I know you're quite shocked now... about Yifei's affairs, you didn't know before, and it's indeed shocking to hear suddenly, but... Grandfather, it's not easy for the grandson to come out once, there are some things that can't be said, maybe there won't be a chance later, so I'll make it brief. I have deep feelings for my third sister, if I really can't marry her, I'm willing to remain unmarried for life, just begging you, Grandfather, to help me and Sanmei get married."

  Chu Lao Yezi listened to him say this, and could only temporarily put Zhu Yi Zhen aside, turning to ask him: "Previously wanting to marry our family's Yun Qing, why did you change your mind now? Isn't this... Yun Qing had an accident, the marriage was not mentioned, how can you still come to propose?"

  "Your grandson has always wanted to marry Third Sister Keqi, and never changed his mind. The misunderstanding just now was about this... At that time, I told Mother, and Mother mentioned it to Grandmother, but Grandmother probably had other plans for Third Sister, so she agreed to the marriage, but actually agreed to Fourth Sister Yunqing's instead. However, no one told me or Mother clearly... I always thought it was Keqi, and the household was preparing for my marriage to Keqi. Who could have thought that Grandmother would skip over Third Sister and arrange Fourth Sister's marriage first? I still thought Grandmother had agreed to marry me to Keqi. Just as I was thinking of asking a matchmaker to come, Fourth Sister had an accident, and only then did Grandmother send someone to say that she had originally agreed to my marriage to Fourth Sister. At the time, I was stunned, and wanted to clarify with Grandfather and Uncle, but Fourth Sister had just had such an incident... If I were to speak up, you and Uncle would surely think I was rejecting Fourth Sister... So, so... I didn't dare say anything. Later, when you refused to marry Fourth Sister to me, I thought I had given up on this matter. However, these past few days, I couldn't eat or sleep, almost unable to survive... And then I found out about Yuxuan's situation, and knew he was coming to propose, so in a moment of madness, I came here without thinking..."

  The old man was deeply moved by the words, and after hearing that sentence 'the grandmother had other plans for Ke'er...', combined with the mysterious behavior of the old lady's return, he already believed that this matter was the old lady's doing because she wanted to give San Niang Ke'er to her good-for-nothing nephew. Several times she used tricks and hidden methods everywhere, fortunately, Xue E that guy revealed his true form, otherwise, he would have been deceived.
