  Chapter 12: The Cost

  Zhu Yuhuan ran to the front yard in a fluster, but before he could enter, he was intercepted by several brothers at the gate. Zhu Yuping reached out and grabbed his arm, laughing as he pulled him back: "Quickly, quickly, I've caught Fifth Brother! Who wants to use torture? Who wants to interrogate? Hurry up and come over!"

  Suddenly, several smiling brothers rushed over with a "whoosh".

  Zhu Yi Huan had originally come with the hope that Zhu Yi Zuo was deceiving him, but upon seeing this scene, he immediately lost his composure: "No way? Could it be true?"

  Zhu Yiping saw that he was still unhappy, and angrily said: "No, no, I have to use torture first." Everyone rolled up their sleeves and made a gesture to take action. The young master walked out of the house in the courtyard and saw this scene, laughing and saying: "You all don't hurry up and let go of Yiping, hurry up and come in."

  The brothers hehe laughed and relaxed Zhu Yuhuan, but Zhu Yuhuan was not happy to go in. He stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked: "Young Master, cough cough, who came?"

  The crown prince burst out laughing and said with a smile: "I just made a mistake, don't let go of your hands, bring him in for me."

  Several brothers immediately took action to tie up Zhu Yuhuan's two arms and carried him inside, Zhu Yuhuan shouted: "Ah, I can go in myself... let go, let go"

  Everyone finally put him in front of the crown prince and only then did they let go. Zhu Yiping still didn't forget to say a sentence as he walked away: "Crown Prince, ask if there are any unmarried daughters left in the Lan family."

  The crown prince smiled: "Is it your turn? What's the hurry?"

  "Third Brother isn't even married yet, and Fifth Brother is already getting married?" Zhu Yiping said discontentedly.

  "Who said I'm getting married?!" Zhu Yuhuan shouted loudly.

  "The young master hastily said: 'Speak softly, everyone is inside, let's go in.'"

  Zhu Yuhuan had no choice but to follow him into the inner courtyard, where in the upper house, Blue Cicada's elder brother was indeed sitting and laughing while chatting with the Duke. As soon as the Duke saw Zhu Yuhuan enter, he immediately put on a stern face and said: "Where did you run off to? You didn't even say a word when you went out?"

  Zhu Yuhuan walked over with a sullen expression: "The child... is wandering around nearby."

  "This is the eldest son of Lord Blue, should know him."

  Zhu Yuhuan hastily exchanged greetings with Lan Gongzi, who was already over thirty years old and smiled saying: "Seeing Yuhuan is always so spirited"

  The young master sat down with a smile: "He is very spirited and runs around all day, hunting here and climbing mountains there, can't stay idle."

  "That's great," said Blue Boy with a smile: "I like it this way"

  Zhu Yuhuan's face changed, and he thought in his heart, what's the use of liking? I hate that Lan Qishuang from their family.

  Lan Zixiang probably didn't expect that in the palace, she would impulsively help Chu Yunting frame Chu Ke'er, leading to such severe consequences. She herself almost got left behind in the palace, and now her hope of marrying Zhu Yuhuan has been ruined.

  Not bad, after Zhu Yuhuan sent her home that night, she finally confirmed her own mind.

  As for Zhu Yichen, there is indeed a reason to feel resentful, thinking that she has nothing inferior to Chu Keqi, why Zhu Yichen is so infatuated with Chu Keqi? Another reason is that she is eager to get married and also has her eye on Zhu Yichen's elegant and handsome appearance, which is also outstanding among the men she knows.

  But after that night, her heart was tied to Zhu Yuhuan. Women easily fall in love with heroes who save them, and she is no exception. Moreover, Zhu Yuhuan has a good temperament, much better than the cold Zhu Yuzhen.

  Lan Zixiang has now made up her mind, and she also knows that waiting for Zhu Yuhuan to come and propose is probably something she'll be waiting for in vain for the rest of her life. That's why she swallowed her pride and came to talk to Father about her feelings, insisting that he get Brother to go to their house and ask for her hand in marriage.

  Lan Zhi Xiang's mother saw that she didn't even leave a mark the last time she entered the palace, let alone this matter being strongly opposed by Lord Lan, so it was all in vain.

  The Junwangfu itself is a good match, Zhu Yuhuan has a good reputation among these young men and has good relationships, so although it's the girl's family who took the initiative to propose, it's a bit too much, but there's nothing wrong with that, so the Lan family asked Lan Zhixiang's older brother to come over and talk about it.

  They absolutely did not expect that this matter would not succeed. The woman had taken the initiative to speak out, and her own daughter was also a famous beauty among the official families in the capital city, a talented woman from a respectable family, and yet she was taking the initiative to come to their door, who wouldn't be overjoyed?

  So Blue Master's attitude was gentle, but very determined. He spoke without beating around the bush and smiled: "Yue Huan is a good person, everyone knows that, our Seventh Sister is also a good person in the boudoir, she's already 15 years old this year, Father said we can't delay any longer..." He burst out laughing: "Your Highness, don't laugh at us, our family has spoiled this sister too much, and for this lifelong matter, who knew that this little girl would take a liking to your Fifth Master..."

  The prince also burst out laughing, "Hahaha", and looked at Zhu Yuhuan with a smug expression: "This old five of mine is indeed popular, hehehe, not that I'm boasting, among my eight sons, the only one who can make the girl's family come to ask for marriage is this old five."

  The young master smiled: "Lao Wu is really good, everyone rushed"

  "Look at this matter..." said Lan Gongzi with a smile.

  "I guess it's just like this..."

  The king originally wanted to slap his thigh and settle it, but he didn't expect the hand that was about to slap would be held back by someone. As a result, a very affirmative sentence ended abruptly. He looked at Zhu Yuhuan in surprise, who was holding his hand: "What are you doing, kid?"

  Unlike the three people in the house with a smile on their faces, Zhu Yuhuan put on a serious face and carefully placed the Duke's hand back on his own leg. He then turned around to give a deep bow to the bewildered Blue Prince: "Blue Prince, your family's kindness is truly an honor for me, I don't know how to repay it... However, regarding this marriage matter, I'm afraid I must decline."

  As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked. The blue young master's shocking words couldn't be spoken. It really was something that no one had thought of at all.

  Zhu Yuhuan looked at his shocked expression and sneered in her heart: It turns out that Lan Zixing's good self-feeling is actually a family inheritance.

  "The county king was shocked and shouted loudly: 'What is this kid going crazy? Has he gone mad?'"

  The crown prince hastily sat down beside the Duke, and whispered a few words of advice in his ear. The Duke looked at Prince Lan and suddenly came to himself, quickly regaining control of his emotions.

  Lan Gongzi was shocked for half a day before jumping out with a sentence: "Hui Huan... why is this?"

  Zhu Yuhuan's attitude was very humble, but his face still didn't have a hint of a smile. He said: "Yuhuan is not worthy of the young lady from your esteemed household. For any offense caused, I am willing to go to your doorstep with a humble apology. However, regarding marriage, please never mention it again."

  "But...!" Lan Gongzi finally came to his senses, his face no longer able to maintain its composure. He stood up with a "thud" and said: "Zhu Yuhuan has gone too far! How many people in the capital want to marry my Seventh Sister? The number of suitors is countless...and yet he dares to deceive me like this!"

  Zhu Yuhuan bowed and said: "Lan Gongzi, you blame me for not knowing how to show respect. At this moment, there is no room for further discussion."

  The young master was as if he had been slapped in the face. He swung his sleeve, didn't say a word, and stormed off with a burst of anger.

  The young master saw that the situation had become awkward, and he stood up. However, seeing Blue Master turn his sleeve and leave, he didn't humble himself to apologize and follow after him. Instead, he shouted: "Housekeeper, see the guest out..."

  The blue boy has rushed out of the yard

  The county king was furious: "This is a great marriage for the Blue family, what can you use to pretend?"

  Zhu Yuhuan turned his head and said in a low voice: "I hate that Lan Qixiang, she's so annoying."

  "What's wrong with you? Have you ever seen a young lady before?" The prince also looked at him disapprovingly: "Don't you know that Blue Girl is well-known in the official circles of Beijing, and it's said that marrying her will bring good fortune?"

  "I don't think it's good luck... I've seen her before, when big brother married his concubine, that Miss Lan came too. It was that one time, I felt she was particularly arrogant and annoying."

  The county king and the prince had never seen Lan Zixiang, but when they heard that Zhu Yuhuan had seen her, they naturally believed it. What's more reliable than what you see with your own eyes? It must be that Lan Zixiang is really not good, otherwise Yuhuan wouldn't have said so.

  The young master looked at him thoughtfully, recalling the last time Old Five came to talk to him. Could it be that he was still thinking of his uncle's family and that cousin? Looking at him like this, it seemed obvious.

  But the king of the county listened to Zhu Yuhuan's words and immediately understood his son, nodding his head: "Since you've seen it, there's nothing more to say... Then don't be so stubborn? Give people some face, be tactful, don't be so direct?"

  Zhu Yuhuan lowered his head and said: "It was I who was rash."

  "The prince shook his head and said, 'It doesn't seem like a reckless person'"

  Zhu Yuhuan knew what the Crown Prince was thinking, and could only say: "That day in the mansion... I really did have a misunderstanding with Lan, and I was very angry..."

  The king and the crown prince shook their heads at the same time, and the crown prince said: "Still young?"

  The county king waved his hand and said, "If they can tolerate it, then so be it. But if they don't let up, then prepare to really come to our doorstep to apologize." He paused for a moment and continued, "It's really strange, this marriage should also be something both families are willing to do. They're the bride's family, coming to our doorstep is already not giving face? We refused and it became a sin?"

  Zhu Yuhuan hastily said with a regretful expression: "It's the child who was too rash and shouldn't have spoken so bluntly, they felt embarrassed because of the child's tone... Father, don't be angry either, it's not a big deal, the child will go later."

  The county king nodded: "Let's take a look, I suppose they won't make too much trouble. This is their embarrassing thing, and it's enough to save face. What else can we do?" He said, standing up and walking away with his hands behind his back to discuss with the county king's wife.

  The crown prince and Zhu Yuhuan quickly stood up to see him off. (If you like this work, welcome to start voting for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
