Madam Nalan hadn't finished her words when Zhu Chongba, who was controlled by He Xi, jumped up and shouted, "It's not her! Dad, it's not this ugly bastard at all! Are the people in the Nalan Mansion taking me for a fool? How could this young master be interested in such an ugly and useless girl? And that Nalan Feixue is as fierce as a shrew. She looks so cowardly, how can she be like Nalan Feixue!"
Zhu Yijun's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly to Madam Nalan: "Madam Nalan, what does this mean? You brought a slave girl with no name or status to use as a substitute. Do you really think that my Zhu family is easy to mess with? In this case, don't blame me for turning my face against you. Your Highness the Sixth Prince, when I return, I must meet with the Imperial Concubine and have a good talk with her about the evil deeds of the Nalan Mansion who bully others by taking advantage of their power. Let's see if your daughter of the Nalan family can get married in the future!"
The Sixth Prince smiled and nodded, looking like he was enjoying a good show.
Madam Nalan was anxious and said quickly, "She is Hexi, the third young lady of our Nalan Mansion. She is definitely not some nameless maid. If Mr. Zhu doesn't believe it, he can go to the city guard to check the household registration files to see if there is a third young lady named Nalan Hexi in the Nalan Mansion."
After a pause, Madam Nalan took a breath, with an apologetic and sad expression on her face, "It's also my fault for not educating my daughter well. We just found out a few days ago that she was not as happy as Feixue in the Nalan Mansion, and she was upset. She even pretended to be Feixue and went to Taotie Pavilion to sell herself, hoping to find a husband of her dreams. Feixue and I were completely unaware of this matter until a few days ago when Hexi's personal maid let us know... She had actually had physical contact with Master Zhu. Although this is unreasonable, it can be regarded as the fate of the Zhu family and the Nalan family. If we can have a good marriage, it will be beneficial to both of our families, right?"
After hearing what Madam Nalan said, He Xi wanted to applaud, because she had guessed a lot of the truth.
Moreover, these words also hinted to Zhu Yijun that the Zhu family wanted to form an alliance with the Nalan Mansion, and what they valued first was the family background of the Nalan family and Nalan Zhengze's medical skills. The interests of both families would not be harmed no matter who they married into the alliance with, so why bother about which Miss Nalan to marry.
Didn’t you see that Zhu Yijun has a thoughtful look on his face and has started to consider this proposal
But, will He Xi let her succeed? Of course not!
Zhu Chongba yelled at the top of his voice again: "Nalan Hexi? Isn't she the famous loser of the Nalan family who can't even practice cultivation and looks so ugly? If we marry her, who knows if the son born will also be a useless loser!"
"Dad, I don't want to marry her! How can she beat me up to a pig's head when she's so cowardly and useless, and how can I say that she's got a nine-story training regimen that's gonna get beat up by a woman who doesn't even have a wobble? If it gets out, I'm gonna be human again! Dad, they're just trying to trick us with subtitles. Dad, you mustn't agree!"
Zhu Yijun's face also darkened instantly.
Although his son's words were harsh, every word hit the nail on the head.
Looking at the way the little girl cowered, it was obvious that she was not favored in the Nalan family. Even if she was married, how much help would the Zhu family get? Maybe she was simply abandoned by the Nalan family. (To be continued)
