After Murong Jie left the palace, he became happy after hearing the good news from Zi'an. Neither of them discussed the affairs of the palace, but only focused on the things at hand.
Now, as long as Zhuangzhuang can find Doctor Yuan, there is hope.
Liu Yue saw everyone busying around and felt secretly uneasy. She felt that by mentioning Doctor Yuan, she had given them hope. How miserable she would be if she couldn't find Doctor Yuan in the end.
But she was unable to stay in Prince Liang's Mansion, but was taken away by Song Ruiyang, who said he would take her back to the inn to stay temporarily.
Xiao Tuo wanted to persuade him to stay, but Song Ruiyang glared at him fiercely. He stopped talking immediately, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Go slowly!"
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Chen Liuliu said to Zi'an, "Since the princess may have been rescued, I also have something to announce."
Zian looked at her, "What do you want to announce?"
Liu Liu took a deep breath, her face flushed with shame, but she couldn't hold back the excitement between her eyebrows, "Xiao Tuo is going to marry me."
Zi'an glanced at Xiao Tuo calmly, "We know."
Liu Liu was stunned, "You know? How did you know?"
"That's what Xiao Tuo said." Zi'an said.
Liu Liu looked at Xiao Tuo, "When did you say that?"
"I told them this not long after we arrived. We notified everyone one by one," Xiao Tuo said.
Liu Liu gritted her teeth and said, "Why did you inform them like this? Can't you make it public when you get together?"
"Is there a difference?" Xiao Tuo looked at her in confusion. Seeing her ferocious look, he frowned, "What are you doing? What's that expression? Are you going to eat me?"
Liu Liu was disappointed. "I'm not being mean to you. I just think that for such a big thing, we should find an opportunity to announce it instead of notifying everyone we catch."
"Is there any difference?" Xiao Tuo said the same thing, "Women are always troublesome."
Liu Liu thought about it and felt that there really was no difference. Everyone would be happy for her anyway. However, she still felt that the two of them should stand together, announce it to everyone with shyness on their faces, and then accept everyone's congratulations.
"Xiao Tuo, can you be more romantic in the future?" Liu Liu asked.
Xiao Tuo uttered an exclamation, and then he shouted angrily, "You haven't even married yet, and you're already complaining about this and that? If you continue to complain, I'll go to your house and take the coconut back."
Liu Liu forced a smile immediately. "Are you kidding me? Why are you holding a coconut? Seriously, we won't return anything that comes into our house, and we won't accept returns on anything that leaves the house."
Zi'an heard the coconut and looked up at Xiao Tuo, "That was the coconut that Prince Liang gave to Yi'er to propose marriage. Did you steal it?"
Xiao Tuo groaned and said awkwardly, "This... This is mainly because I couldn't find any coconuts late at night, and I thought it would be wasted anyway, so I borrowed it to use for a while. I'll buy him four tomorrow."
"Why do you need to bring coconuts? It shouldn't be possible to bring coconuts with you in this situation, right?" Ni Rong came over and interrupted in a mysterious manner.
Liu Liu suddenly became alert, "What did you tell everyone?"
Xiao Tuo's expression changed, but his tone became noticeably weaker, "Just tell the truth, just say what the truth is."
"Then what is the fact that you told everyone?" Liu Liu's eyebrows were really raised.
Everyone looked at Xiao Tuo without saying anything. It seemed that what Xiao Tuo said was not the truth.
"Zi'an, you say." Liu Liu turned to ask Zi'an.
Zian waved his hand, "I forgot."
"Ni Rong, you say."
Ni Rong also shook his head, "I forgot too."
Liu Liu stamped her feet, turned to look at Murong Jie, opened her mouth but didn't ask, and turned to ask other people.
Murong Jie was about to tell him, but he didn't expect Liu Liu to turn around and look for someone else. He asked Zi An in surprise, "Why didn't she ask me?"
Zian laughed, "She thinks you, a wooden gourd, can't speak."
Murong Jie said unhappily: "I still want to tell her."
When Liu Liu heard this, she quickly turned around and asked him, "Then Your Majesty, tell me, what did he say?"
Murong Jie put on a straight face and said, "I won't say it."
Liu Liu stamped her feet in anger and was about to get angry at Xiao Tuo when a weak voice came from the corner, "He said you knelt down and begged him to marry you."
When everyone looked over, they saw that it was Boss Dao hiding in the corner chewing a pig's trotter. He wiped his mouth full of oil with his sleeve, and his whole face was greasy.
"Xiao Tuo!" Liu Liu roared like a lion, shaking the sky.
Xiao Tuo disappeared at the speed of light with a "whoosh".
Liu Liu gritted her teeth. Due to her leg injury, she couldn't catch up, so she had to explain one by one with a dark face, "It's not like that. He went to ask for marriage. He came to my house in the middle of the night with coconuts and wine to ask for marriage. It's true. I didn't lie."
"Believe me, it's true. I didn't kneel down and beg him. I can't bring myself to do it... Well, even if I can bring myself to do it, I won't do it. If he doesn't want to marry me, what's the point of me begging him?"
"Liuliu, we believe you." Zi'an said.
"No... You definitely don't believe me. I was the one who pestered him the whole time, so you must have believed what he said."
"No… "
"No need to explain, I know you all don't believe me." Liu Liu sat on the stone steps, looking very lonely. Although she got what she wanted, it was different from what she thought. She thought Xiao Tuo was really willing to marry her. He must not be really sincere about marrying her, otherwise, why would he not want to tell everyone that he was the one who proposed the marriage
"Liu Liu," Zi'an sat down, "Tell me, do you really want to marry Xiao Tuo?"
Liu Liu looked at her and nodded, "I really want to marry him."
"He is just like that. In fact, everyone knows that you can't kneel down and beg him. He said that because he felt ashamed, not because he felt ashamed to marry you. It's because he had always said in front of us that he would not marry you and would not like you. Suddenly he went to propose marriage. He felt embarrassed, so he came up with such a clumsy reason to explain to everyone."
"Really?" Liu Liu looked at Zi'an in confusion, "Because of this?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Zi'an comforted.
Liu Liu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go ask him."
"Go ahead." Zi'an patted her shoulder.
Liu Liu stood up and left with her maid.
Murong Jie sat down and coughed, "By the way, there is something I want you to be mentally prepared for."
"What's the matter?" Zi'an saw that he looked a little strange, "What are you hiding from me?"
"My mother said," Murong Jie coughed again, stretching his neck and looking a little uncomfortable, "My mother said that she might find a concubine for me."
"Don't you have a concubine?"
"Yes, but she said it's not too much." Murong Jie coughed again and again, and his eyes began to avoid.
"Hmm? So you agreed?" Zi'an's voice was cold.
Murong Jie shook his head, "I definitely won't agree to that, so she said she wanted to ask you."
"If you don't want to marry me, just refuse me." Zi'an said.
Murong Jie was silent for a moment, "I hope you will refuse."
"Why?" Zian raised his voice.
Murong Jie was silent again, "Because, this is what you should do. As long as the king doesn't like it, your duty is to show your aggressive nature and resist all invaders."
In fact, what he hoped most was that she would say in person that she liked him and then not allow any other woman to approach him.
She must be jealous!
