Chapter 478: Married Son-in-law (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The more Miss Zhen spoke, the happier she became. She played with the pure gold crown in her hand lovingly.
“Your Highness, do you want to try it on?” Miss Zhen suggested it after reading her body language. “You can also see if there’s anything that needs to be changed.”
An Le nodded and smiled at Gu Yanfei coquettishly. “Sister, put it on for me.”
Gu Yanfei naturally agreed. The intimacy and familiarity between the two of them were naturally revealed.
Miss Zhen watched from the side with a smile, wondering if this unknown girl was a princess from the imperial family. After all, everyone knew that the Emperor only had the Eldest Princess as his only daughter.
Gu Yanfei carefully put the pure gold crown on An Le’s head. She picked up a mercury mirror on the table and let her look into it.
The 10-year-old girl loved to be beautiful. She adjusted the gold crown and turned to look at Chu Yi, wanting to ask him if she looked good.
Chu Yi was also looking at the jewelry and picked up a golden hairpin from a certain tray. It was crafted in the shape of a lotus, with petals as thin as paper, trembling and swaying. The stamen was made of yellow agate, exquisitely crafted and unparalleled in beauty.
He moved his hand slightly, and the layers of golden petals rustled, s.h.i.+ning brightly.
The pure gold light shone in his eyes.
“Big…”
An Le had just spat out a word when she heard a strong male voice in the front hall outside. “Where’s Ru Zhu? Has her invitation been prepared?”
An Le blinked and looked at Miss Zhen. She remembered that her name was Ru Zhu, so she asked curiously, “You’re getting married?”
“No.” Zhen Ruzhu’s smile disappeared, and she shook her head stiffly.
The a.s.sistant in the front hall said in an uneasy voice, “Master, our lady has to entertain VIPs…”
“Forget it, I’ll look for her myself,” Master Zhen said in an unquestionable tone.
As he spoke, a man and a woman forcefully pushed the a.s.sistant into the back hall. The curtain was rudely shoved aside by the person who came. It fell back down, trembling non-stop.
The middle-aged man who barged into the back hall was about 40 years old. He was wearing a green s.h.i.+rt and was short and fat with a military belly. The woman was about the same age and had a bean-sized mole on her face. She looked a little mean.
The woman’s gaze landed on Zhen Ruzhu, and she sized her up in disdain. “You’re Zhen Ruzhu?”
As she spoke, her gaze swept across the gold and jade jewelry on the trays. Her eyes instantly lit up again, and a greedy light flashed in them.
The woman raised her chin arrogantly. Without waiting for Zhen Ruzhu to reply, she swung her handkerchief and said in a sharp voice, “She’s not too bad for Gui’er.”
Master Zhen walked to the center of the room with his head held high. He pointed at the woman and introduced, “Ru Zhu, this is the matchmaker invited by the groom’s side. She’s also his aunt. She’s here to set a date.”
“Hurry up and set a date.”
Master Zhen naturally instructed Zhen Ruzhu and ordered her around in a thunderous voice.
An Le frowned unhappily. She hated it when people made noise.
Zhen Ruzhu lowered her voice and explained, “That’s my uncle. He said that my life is too tough. I’ll jinx my parents and my brothers and sisters…”
Her words ended with a faint sigh, and she said nothing more.
Gu Yanfei put down the mercury mirror in her hand and glanced at Zhen Ruzhu lightly.
This glance was clear and calm, making Zhen Ruzhu’s heart tremble. She felt that she couldn’t hide anything from her.
Zhen Ruzhu’s eyes moved, and she bit her lower lip slightly. She couldn’t help but lower her head and avoid Gu Yanfei’s gaze.
She hadn’t expected the Eldest Princess to come to the shop today, but she had long known that her uncle would come. Yesterday, her uncle had come and said that he had found a live-in son-in-law for her and asked her to set a date. Today, he would come with the groom’s matchmaker.
Therefore, when she saw the Eldest Princess coming incognito, she thought that her uncle had never seen the Eldest Princess before, so she had the thought of borrowing her power. She reminded the a.s.sistant in advance and deliberately allowed her uncle and the matchmaker to rush into the back hall.
Zhen Ruzhu took a deep breath and straightened her back. She took a few steps forward and looked at Master Zhen. “Uncle, 1 said yesterday that I’m not marrying.”
Master Zhen frowned and stood with his hands behind his back. He scolded, “Your father is already so ill. You’re jinxing your father and mother. It wasn’t easy for me to find you a live-in son-in-law with matching eight characters to resolve your fate, but you’re still throwing a tantrum!”
The woman was also unhappy and continued, “My nephew is a talented man and has studied for a few years. If not for your uncle, he wouldn’t have been willing to marry into the family.”
“The master said that when you get married soon, your father’s illness will naturally recover…”
“It’s not up to an uncle who has separated from the family to decide my marriage.” Zhen Ruzhu interrupted the woman coldly.
“A woman’s heart is the most poisonous!” Master Zhen sighed and shook his head. “Your father is just too soft-hearted and spoils you. He should have adopted a son long ago.”
“A daughter will be an outsider sooner or later. Only when the girl is extroverted will the heir be reliable.”
After a pause, Master Zhen’s tone became even stronger. He said firmly, “This marriage is decided by the family. If you dare to have any objections, you can leave the family. This way, you won’t implicate the family.”
Leave?! Zhen Ruzhu’s pupils constricted slightly. Her face turned pale, and her nails dug into her soft palms.
The clan was the root of a person. All along, anyone who was expelled from the clan had definitely committed a huge crime, which was why they were expelled by the patriarch of the clan. Once they were expelled, it meant that this person’s character was flawed. In the future, she and the Zhen family would probably not be able to have a foothold in the capital!
For so many years, Father had been stubbornly refusing to adopt any children from within the family, yet he hadn’t severed ties with the clan over this matter. It was also for this reason..
