Qian Jiujiu looked at Hong Ling and said, "You didn't tell me such an interesting thing earlier. Next time when Li Bing comes to see Qingyu, remember to bring me along."
The corner of Hongling's mouth twitched. "Princess, is it really okay for you to laugh at a little girl like this?"
But who says she is the princess? Hongling looked at Qian Jiujiu happily and said, "I know. Tomorrow Li Bing will come to see Qingyu. I will call you then."
Hong Ling left after saying that. Mu Yexiao walked in and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "What did you talk to that girl about? Why did it take so long?"
Qian Jiujiu laughed twice: "Let's go to the theater tomorrow. Do you think I've become addicted to being a matchmaker recently?"
Mu Yexiao rolled his eyes: "It depends on the situation, but don't come out to fight with the resentful couple. Get some rest quickly, because we have to hold a banquet in a few days!"
Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised: "Come to think of it, I was also surprised that the first banquet of the new year was actually hosted by our Xiaowang Mansion."
As they talked, they lay down on the bed. Qian Jiujiu turned over and pressed Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, you said that in a few days, those people really can't see my belly?"
Mu Yexiao comforted Qian Jiujiu: "Don't worry, at worst we can just announce it. It's good enough that you're already pregnant. Anyway, I'll tell you about my recovery sooner or later."
"Now that I have recovered, things will definitely get more complicated. Qian Yuge and her daughter must die before I can feel at ease. Otherwise, how can I let you stay in Kyoto alone?"
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes: "What do you mean? Are you going to leave Kyoto? That's not possible. When I give birth to the child, will you come back?"
Mu Yexiao touched Qian Jiujiu's head distressedly: "Okay, don't worry, I just said that, go to bed early."
Here, Qian Jiujiu had already started to rest under the comfort of Mu Yexiao, while Xiaoman was still having dinner with Chen Da. However, Xiaoman ate very slowly tonight.
Chen Da had been eating for a while, and seeing Xiao Man still eating slowly, Chen Da couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Man, are you worried about something?"
Xiaoman looked up at her father and said, "Dad, you finally asked. I was worried about Sister Hongyue! Where will the prince arrange for her to go after she becomes a martial artist?"
"She is a weak woman without martial arts skills. She is sent out by her master. She will definitely be bullied somewhere else. What will Sister Hongyue do then?"
"She became like this just to save me, Dad, why don't you go ask the princess for her."
Chen Da glanced at Xiao Man unhappily: "Do you know what begging is? What are you thinking about in your little head?"
Xiaoman, however, looked very confident: "What's wrong with that? Dad, Xiaoman is just a daughter, you definitely need a son, so let Sister Hongyue help you give birth to a son, okay?"
"I like Sister Hongyue too. Don't you like Sister Hongyue?"
Chen Da looked at Xiao Man and said, "Do you want Dad to take advantage of someone's misfortune?"
Xiaoman looked puzzled: "This is the best outcome. This way, Sister Hongyue will be my family. She will naturally live with us then."
"Why don't you just be nicer to her in the future? What do you mean by taking advantage of someone's misfortune? You are just repaying a favor. Besides, how do you know that Sister Hongyue doesn't like you?"
"Maybe Sister Hongyue likes you very much."
Chen Da coughed twice and couldn't help but blush, but Xiaoman didn't let him go: "Dad, I beg you, it doesn't matter who you marry, and besides, Sister Hongyue is beautiful."
"And it's good for me, too. Don't you think that's good?"
Chen Da was suddenly a little helpless: "But your father is just a hunter, will Hongyue be willing?"
Hearing this, Xiaoman nodded directly: "Yes, and Dad, you will not be a hunter in the future. Think about it, the princess sister recognized me as her adopted sister."
"Your status will also rise. Although I know you don't want to do anything, you still have to work for Sister Princess."
"Because in this way, you will be considered as the princess's family. Marrying Sister Hongyue will definitely be more than enough, so as long as you agree, I will propose marriage."
Chen Da was so confused by Xiao Man's trickery that he said, "Okay then..."
"Dad, you promised, don't play tricks on me. I will go with you to ask for marriage tomorrow."
After saying that, Xiaoman stood up and said, "Dad, I'm full. I'm going back to my room to rest."
Chen Da looked at Xiaoman's back and realized that he had been fooled by his daughter. He had not finished speaking yet. He wanted to say that if Hongyue had no objection to this matter, he would agree.
After all, this was Hongyue's business. Although the master had the right to marry the slaves at will, he still wanted to respect Hongyue. However, he would talk about this matter tomorrow.
Chen Da lay on the bed and wanted to rest, but his mind was full of this matter. He couldn't help feeling depressed and didn't sleep well all night. As a result, when it was just dawn.
He got up and thought about it. It would not be a good idea to take Xiaoman with him to such a thing, so Chen Da went there alone and came to the small courtyard where Hongyue lived.
I heard the sound of Hongyue and the little girl talking inside. It seemed that Hongyue was awake. I wanted to call here, but I felt relieved and went to knock on the door myself.
"Hongyue, I'm Chen Da."
Hongyue had just woken up and heard from the little maid about her coma for the past two days and her illness. She knew that she would never be able to use force again.
She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and this would mean she would be separated from the princess. She had no idea what her future fate would be, and she was at a loss.
Hearing Chen Da's voice, he glanced at the little girl. The little girl opened the door and then left. Chen Da walked in and looked at Hongyue, who still had a pale face.
There was a bit of confusion in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?"
Hongyue shook her head: "It's okay, I was just wondering, where can I go?"
Chen Da was stunned for a moment. This girl must be uneasy. A trace of heartache flashed through his heart. After listening to Xiaoman's words in one night, Chen Da realized it.
His feelings towards Hongyue seemed to have changed. He used to treat her as his daughter, but now he felt like he couldn't look her in the eye.
He sighed and said, “If you don’t have anywhere to go, you might consider coming to my house.”
Hongyue looked at Chen Da in confusion: "What do you mean by going to your house?"
Chen Da felt a little embarrassed to explain, and said timidly: "Well, what I mean is, if I marry you, would you be willing?"
Hong Yue was extremely surprised for a moment, and looked at Chen Da, obviously still in shock: "I do."
No matter what Chen Da's reason was, as long as she could marry him, it would be fine. After all, she had already fallen in love with Chen Da. After saying this, Hongyue blushed immediately.
"You, do you think I'm not reserved?"
Seeing Hongyue’s face was already so red, Chen Da couldn’t help but laugh: “You are very good, I will go to the princess to propose marriage now.”
"The princess is a very nice person and will definitely agree, so don't worry and wait for me."
As Chen Da left Hongyue's courtyard, he saw Xiaoman staring at him. Chen Da was speechless: "Xiaoman, you came quite early."
Xiaoman snorted: "Dad, you are not regretting it, are you?"
Chen Da shook his head: "Dad will not regret what he promised you. Let's go and find the princess."
The father and daughter came to Qian Jiujiu's yard. Qian Jiujiu had just finished breakfast and was strolling in the yard, waiting for today's news, and asking Hongling something from time to time.
"Hongling. Why hasn't Li Beng come to see Qingyu yet?"
Hong Ling looked helpless as she looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Princess, don't be anxious. It's still very early. Li Bing usually comes back around noon, and you'll probably be having lunch by then."
Qian Jiujiu heard this and said: "Then I'll have lunch early today."
The corner of Hong Ling's mouth twitched. She was really trying her best to watch the show. "Then I understand. I will serve lunch earlier today."
Qi was satisfied and continued to stroll, then he heard the maid outside come to report: "Princess, Miss Xiaoman is here with Chen Da."
It was a rare thing that the father and daughter came to her yard at the same time: "Let them in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Da and Xiao Man walked in. Chen Da bowed respectfully and said, "I greet the princess."
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, please get up quickly. You don't have to be so polite. In a few days, we will be a family. You are the elder, so don't be too polite."
Chen Da stood up, and Xiao Man looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Greetings to the princess."
"Xiao Man, get up quickly. It's rare for you and your daughter to come to my courtyard. What's the matter?"
Listening to Qian Jiujiu's words, Xiaoman and Chen Da looked at each other. Xiaoman coughed twice and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Sister Princess, my father is here to propose marriage."
Propose a marriage? Qian Jiujiu and Hong Ling looked at each other and looked at Chen Da: "Uncle Chen, this is true, who are you going to propose?"
Chen Da looked a little embarrassed, and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "That's right, I want to marry Miss Hongyue, please help me, Princess."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Chen Da with some strange eyes. It seemed that Xiaoman was really powerful. He convinced Chen Da just like that. Qian Jiujiu blinked.
"Uncle Chen, since you've brought it up, this princess has a question for you. You want to marry Hongyue, but do you really like her, or do you have other reasons?"
Although she knew that Hongyue liked Chen Da, Qian Jiujiu still wanted to find out why Chen Da married Hongyue. Chen Da coughed twice and looked at Qian Jiujiu.
"My princess, I don't really like Hongyue right now."
