Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun's eyes suddenly became cold, and he said sternly: "Where is Nalan Zhengze? I want to ask him if he still wants to be the number one doctor in Jinling Country. He actually allowed his wife to fool and deceive our Zhu family. I came to propose marriage today to give face to your Nalan family. If we follow the ancient etiquette, Nalan Feixue would have been a member of our Zhu family long ago. Even if we use a sedan chair and bring her in through the side door as a concubine, no one would dare to say anything!"
"You-you dare!" Madam Nalan screamed, unable to bear it any longer. "Don't you see what your son from the Zhu family is like? He is almost thirty years old now, and he hasn't even reached the foundation-building stage. My daughter is a genius who has reached the foundation-building stage at the age of eighteen. Just based on this, your son still wants to marry my Feixue. It's like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Don't even think about it!"
"I'm telling you, today, you either decide on the marriage between your Zhu family and Nalan Hexi, or get out! Do you really think that we in the Nalan Mansion are afraid of your Zhu family?"
She would not allow, would never allow her precious daughter to marry such a idiot, especially in front of Ouyang Haoxuan! !
Madam Nalan's words made the Zhu father and son and the Sixth Prince look extremely ugly.
Madam Nalan even pushed He Xi hard and growled, "Hurry up and tell me that you admire Mr. Zhu and want to marry him as your legal wife. Didn't you tell me a few days ago that you fell in love with Mr. Zhu at first sight in Taotie Pavilion, so you followed him to the Zhu Mansion without hesitation? Now that you have got what you wanted, are you still not happy?"
He Xi was pushed and staggered, his legs went limp, and he simply sat down on a chair beside him.
She kept her brows lowered, her body trembling, and she looked cowardly and pitiful, unable to resist. She kept saying "I... I..." but she couldn't even utter a complete sentence, which made Zhu Yijun believe even more that she was being coerced.
Only Ouyang Haoxuan slowly noticed the clues, but seeing that the Nalan family and Nalan Feixue were in trouble, he certainly would not expose it, but instead add fuel to the fire.
He smiled lightly, and said to the Sixth Prince as if he was just chatting, "I still don't know when Madam Nalan has been in charge of the Nalan Mansion. It was like this when we broke off the engagement, and it's like this again when we are marrying into the Zhu family. Doctor Nalan doesn't even show his face. People who know about this would say that Doctor Nalan is too busy to spare time. People who don't know would think that Doctor Nalan is a weak and incompetent person who only relies on his wife to take the blame and do bad things."
The Sixth Prince laughed loudly upon hearing this. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the panicked voice of the servant outside the door: "Master... Master, why are you here?"
Mrs. Nalan's face suddenly changed, panic and fear flashed in her eyes, causing her hands that were grabbing Hexi's clothes to suddenly tighten.
Nalan Zhengze has actually been in the mansion all this time, but he has been researching a potion in his basement.
Mrs. Nalan had mentioned Nalan Feixue's matter to him, but he seemed too lazy to care. Mrs. Nalan had to find a way to save her daughter and the reputation of the Nalan Mansion.
Bringing Hexi here to serve as a substitute was actually a last resort, because Nalan Zhengze had already said that no one was allowed to touch Hexi without his permission. Now that he knew what he had done...
Thinking of her husband's coldness and indifference, Mrs. Nalan shuddered involuntarily. (To be continued)
