Chapter 29: The Most Miserable Original Wife in the Novel of
r father-in-law, walked to her husband's side and quickly recounted what happened at the well outside the village earlier, and then told him about Li Guilan being pushed over by Gu Qian. Li Bailiang i...Fastest updates! No ads!
"Preposterous! How could this be possible!"
The chieftain was a little dumbfounded, but after listening to Cheng Chuxia's account of "cutting corners," he pondered for a moment and said: "This prince is just a scholar, and the incident happened within the Cheng family. As long as we keep our servants' mouths shut and send them off with some silver, no one will know."
He felt Wang Changming was not worthy of his granddaughter.
Three years ago, Cheng Fu reported that Cheng Xiqian was ill and unable to participate in the imperial selection.
This year is another draft year. We just have to wait for the emperor to return from Jiangnan, and then it should be arranged.
It's a pity that Cheng Xiqian's age is no longer suitable.
He is preparing to have his granddaughter enter the palace.
The Cheng family are all good-looking. Though the granddaughter isn't as stunning as Cheng Xiqian, she is still youthful and beautiful, and very endearing.
I presume the Emperor would like it.
"Grandfather..." Cheng Chuxi was dumbfounded.
She hinted, both directly and indirectly, that she had lost her reputation and only desired death. This was all a ploy to persuade her grandfather to marry her off to Young Master Wang.
It's all written in the storybooks, you know. If you lose your reputation, there's only death or a life of solitary confinement as a Buddhist monk. There are no other options.
How could a grandfather possibly be so disrespectful!
"Don't worry, my boy. Grandfather would never let anyone know about this." The Chief looked at him with fatherly love.
Cheng Chuxia: "..."
She was so anxious that her face turned white.
She called her grandfather over. Aside from wanting to go home, she also wanted to solidify her marriage with the prince's son.
For this, she was willing to admit that she bumped into Gu Qianshui in the water.
Of course, she explained that she slipped and it was unintentional.
"Pfft—"
Gu Qian couldn't help but smile.
She could figure out Cheng Chuxia's plan just by thinking about it for a moment.
Unfortunately, the chief is not cooperating.
This won't do.
Gu Qian decided to be a good person.
“Uncle Three, this prince is a scholar and might not be bought with money. From his appearance and demeanor, I can tell he’s well-educated. He may even top the imperial examinations next year and become a jinshi. That wouldn't dishonor your niece at all. Instead of worrying about rumors damaging her reputation in the future, why not let them get married Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds”
Cheng Chuxi was surprised to look at Gu Qian.
Isn't your cousin in love with Young Master Wang
Why would you speak up for her.
But before she could think too much, she immediately said, "Grandfather, what my cousin said makes sense."
The village chief naturally knew this was the best solution, but he had other plans and naturally refused. "How can an unmarried young lady just talk about marriage as if it's nothing What a disgrace! Just follow what I say, control the mouths of people in Cheng Mansion, and call that Wang young master over. I'll speak to him personally."
Humph, he doesn't believe in any of that scholar arrogance.
Just give him a little more money to shut him up.
Gu Qianshao, with his amiable temperament, advised, "This is a matter concerning your cousin's reputation, so it's best to be more cautious. That young master Wang and your cousin seem to get along well, I believe your cousin is also willing."
Gu Qian looked at Cheng Chuxi.
Cheng Chuxia felt Gu Qian wasn't right, but she could only seize this opportunity.
She knew that her grandfather had intentionally wanted her to enter the palace.
But she was not a noblewoman. Without Cheng Yueshan's recommendation, she would have no qualifications to participate in the selection.
And don't say that she offended Gu Qian, whether or not the Cheng family would still welcome her. Just say that the Emperor is already an old man in his forties, and she doesn't want to enter the palace.
Master Wang's demeanor is as refreshing as the breeze and bright as the moon, anyone who sees him feels joy. She must be foolish to serve that old man!
“My cousin’s words make me blush. My relationship with Master Wang is pure and innocent, it’s just…” Cheng Chuxia looked tearfully at the patriarch: “Grandfather, my cousin makes sense. It has been several days since the incident in the water. If we go to silence him now, it might be too late. If outsiders knew, it wouldn't be a big deal if I wasn’t married yet. But if I were married, my husband would definitely divorce me! In that case, I might as well just die.”
