Nanyang Marquis Mansion
When Marquis Nanyang, who had just returned home, heard the report from the butler, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The Duke of Zhenguo is here
How rare!
Since the Duke of Zhenguo had come in person, the Marquis of Nanyang had no choice but to go out to greet him.
When Wen Huaian, who was handsome and incomparable beside the Duke of Zhenguo, saw the Marquis of Nanyang and his butler and servants striding towards him, he immediately bowed and saluted respectfully to the Marquis of Nanyang: "I greet the Marquis!"
Marquis Nanyang snorted lightly, glanced at him and then looked away, his eyes fell on the handsome face of Duke Zhenguo, who looked similar to Wen Huaian. When he saw Duke Zhenguo, Marquis Nanyang couldn't help but think of the Duke Zhenguo's wife who had abused her precious daughter, and his face instantly turned cold.
"My Lord, what a rare guest!"
"Please come in and talk!"
This time, Marquis Nanyang did not stop anyone at the gate of the mansion.
The Duke of Zhenguo's personal visit had already given him and his precious daughter enough face, so the Marquis of Nanyang simply turned his face away and did not make things difficult for them any further.
The Duke of Zhenguo curled his lips, and prepared to step into the gate of Nanyang Marquis Mansion with Wen Huaian, the official matchmaker, and the guards, carrying a lot of betrothal gifts.
“Wait, there’s no need to carry these things in!” Marquis Nanyang’s brows were twisted into the shape of a “川”.
The Duke of Zhenguo paused, took a look at the unpleasant expression on the Marquis of Nanyang's face, sighed secretly, and raised his hand to signal.
"Leave it there for now."
Wen Huaian looked at the Nanyang Marquis who didn't even glance at him after he saluted, and smiled bitterly in his heart, if his father came out in person this time and still came back empty-handed...
The crowd following outside from a distance were shocked when they saw the Duke of Zhenguo give in to the Marquis of Nanyang.
Yesterday, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo brought official media to the house but they couldn’t even get through the gate of the Nanyang Marquis’ Mansion. Today, the Duke of Zhenguo came forward... This Fourth Miss Tang is really going to the sky!
The crowd watching from afar were envious and upset at the same time. Since when had a brainless fool young lady with a bad reputation, no morals and no ability gotten the powerful Duke Zhenguo to personally come and propose marriage for his son
Everyone was talking about it.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the hearts of the noble ladies who loved Prince Wen were broken.
At this time, the news that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was sent back to her parents' home early in the morning had not spread.
Now everyone just thought that she was dissatisfied with the Duke Zhenguo's attention to Miss Tang Si and returned to her parents' home in anger.
The Duke's Mansion had no intention of explaining anything.
If this explosive news were to spread, people outside would probably regard Tang Cheng as the cause of trouble.
The marriage hasn't even been arranged yet, but she's already sent her future mother-in-law back to her parents' home...
It's incredible.
The main hall of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion.
Lady Zhang, wife of Marquis of Nanyang, was shocked when she saw the aura of the Duke of Zhenguo. After paying her respects, she quickly ordered someone to serve tea to the Duke of Zhenguo.
But my heart was very uneasy.
The fourth girl's life is so good that it is beyond words, so good that it makes people jealous.
Zhang quickly adjusted her mood and called Nanny Chen to ask her to go to the Peony Garden to invite the Fourth Young Miss over.
"My Lord, the fourth young lady will be here soon."
Marquis Nanyang nodded slightly, motioned for her to sit down, and then looked at the Duke of Zhenguo and his son.
"This is about my daughter. Let's talk about it when she comes."
"The guest follows the host's wishes!"
The Duke of Zhenguo had no objection.
It is well known that Marquis Nanyang dotes on Fourth Miss Tang.
Yesterday, rumors about Tang Si's abortion were flying everywhere. She should be too weak to meet guests today, but Marquis Nanyang did not avoid the issue, which makes people think deeply.
The Duke of Zhenguo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a suspicious guess emerged in his mind.
Maybe Tang Si did not abort his grandson.
But when I thought of the strengthening potion... the speculation that just came up was extinguished.
Wen Huaian had no objection. He didn't see Tang Cheng yesterday, so he wanted to meet her and get confirmation of the abortion in person.
Marquis Nanyang smiled at the Duke of Zhenguo.
Of course he knew what this deep-minded Duke Zhenguo was thinking, but he didn't care.
He did it on purpose.
While waiting for someone, the Duke of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Nanyang Youzhi avoided the topic of Tang Cheng and talked about court affairs.
After a cup of tea, Tang Cheng, dressed in a red silk dress, came in with her four maids. She immediately saw the most eye-catching father and son in the main hall.
She knew Wen Huaian, his handsome face was very impressive. Needless to say, the other one was the powerful Duke Zhenguo. Tang Cheng couldn't help but take a few more glances out of curiosity.
The Duke of Zhenguo sat upright, drinking tea leisurely, with all his imposing manner concealed. He looked like a handsome and elegant man.
The father and son have really good genes.
The baby in her belly will definitely be very good-looking in the future.
Tang Cheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, retracted his gaze, and walked briskly towards Nanyang Marquis.
"Dad, Mother, I'm here."
Zhang smiled slightly.
Marquis Nanyang's expression softened as he looked at his bright and outspoken beloved daughter.
"Cheng'er, come and meet the Duke of Zhenguo."
Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng walked up to the Duke of Zhenguo and bowed as a junior: "Greetings, Duke!"
The Duke of Zhenguo curled his lips slightly and took out a mutton-fat jade pendant.
"Greeting gift!"
Tang Cheng accepted it generously and smiled: "Thank you, Duke!"
"We are all family, don't be polite!" Duke Zhenguo smiled gently.
Marquis Nanyang snorted, feeling unhappy when he saw the dazzling smile of Duke Zhenguo.
"It's too early for you to say that, Lord!"
The Duke of Zhenguo smiled without saying anything, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Sooner or later, Tang Si will enter the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Although I have heard many rumors about Tang Si, this is the first time I have seen him in person.
What a bright and beautiful girl she is, with fair skin, clear almond eyes, and pride and confidence between her brows.
At first glance, it is obvious that she is very different from the rumored Tang Si, and is not inferior to the daughter of an aristocratic family.
Of course, this is just on the surface. You need to understand what’s going on inside to know.
The Duke of Zhenguo was quite satisfied with his first impression of Tang Cheng. As a general who had been on the battlefield and was extremely sensitive to blood, there was no smell of blood on Tang Cheng's body. Looking at her rosy face and excellent complexion, the Duke of Zhenguo knew what was going on.
No matter what the reason was for the Marquis of Nanyang to spread the rumor that Tang Si had an abortion, the Duke of Zhenguo would not expose it.
Tang Cheng and Marquis of Nanyang had no idea that their abortion drama was exposed at a single sight by the Duke of Zhenguo, who had seen countless blood.
She was playing with the white jade pendant in her hand, feeling happy.
"Dad, the world is unpredictable!"
The Marquis of Nanyang choked.
"Miss Tang Si is absolutely right!" The Duke of Zhenguo glanced at the Marquis of Nanyang and nodded with a smile, lying with his eyes open: "Miss Tang Si is well-educated and polite, and treats people very methodically. She has the magnanimous demeanor of a mistress of the house."
Tang Cheng chuckled.
Her behavior was considered unorthodox in this dynasty, but she was unwilling to compromise herself. The Duke of Zhenguo really had good intentions for his son.
I forced myself to be blind and praise her against my will.
Thank you for your hard work, Duke Zhenguo.
She glanced at Wen Huaian teasingly, her beautiful almond eyes full of smiles.
Wen Huaian's handsome face turned red, and he agreed seriously.
"Father is absolutely right."
Tang Cheng was in a good mood and accepted the compliments from the Duke of Zhenguo and Wen Huaian without any modesty.
"The Duke has the same vision as the Crown Prince. Most people are blind and cannot see my hidden strengths."
"The term 'well-educated and well-mannered' is tailor-made for me. I am not only literate but also know how to give gifts. I am well-educated and well-mannered."
"puff!"
The Duke of Zhenguo spat out a mouthful of tea.
Yes, not only can he read and write, but he can also make excuses and come up with a lot of fallacies.
Wen Huaian almost choked on his saliva. He quickly picked up the teacup, put it to his lips and took a sip of tea to cover it up.
Tang Cheng is so... so naughty.
Zhang, who was as quiet as a chicken, trembled with her hand and the tea in the teacup almost spilled out.
She was also planning to find a gentle, virtuous, well-educated and well-mannered daughter-in-law for her son, but now she quickly crossed out the words "well-educated and well-mannered".
The fourth girl is so devilish.
The corners of Nanyang Hou's mouth twitched: "..."
After his precious daughter misinterpreted the term "well-educated and well-mannered", its meaning completely changed. Now he dared not look directly at the term "well-educated and well-mannered".
If this gets out, it will definitely be criticized by those pedantic scholars.
The others in the hall were stunned.
The four maids covered their faces.
Miss, what kind of nonsense is this!
Tang Cheng looked at their different reactions with a smile on his face, feeling very happy.
"Miss Tang Si, great idea!"
The Duke of Zhenguo pretended that he was not the one who had just spit out tea and lost his composure, and gave Tang Cheng a look of admiration.
When Wen Huaian saw the half-smile in Nanyang Marquis's eyes, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Father, your dignity is gone!
Tang Cheng's eyes widened: "..."
So you are this kind of Zhenguogong!
However, she had a good impression of the Duke of Zhenguo. Unlike the Duke of Zhenguo's wife, even if she lowered her attitude, she still had a sense of superiority. No matter how deep the contempt and disdain in her eyes were hidden, she could sense it, not to mention that they had a falling out when they broke off the engagement later.
The corners of Zhenguo's mouth curled slightly.
The little girl is quite cute!
Wen Huaian stared at Tang Cheng with his handsome eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked with interest: "What about how to treat people?"
"Interacting with people means sitting at home, entertaining guests and waiting to receive gifts." Tang Cheng said with a smile.
"The Duke is really amazing. He actually knows that I have the potential to be the mistress of the house. He not only gives gifts but also accepts them."
After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he gave the Duke of Zhenguo a bright smile.
The Duke of Zhenguo's smile froze and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He wants to be quiet now.
There are rumors outside that Tang Si is a fool. In his opinion, the people who spread these rumors are fools.
Wen Huaian held back his laughter. It was the first time he saw his father speechless.
Everyone present was stunned.
The official media, which had been of no use, were stunned by Miss Tang Si's twisted explanations.
Marquis Nanyang laughed loudly.
"Well said!"
"You are worthy of being Dad's good daughter!"
Tang Cheng smiled happily: "Dad praised me so much that I blushed."
Duke Zhenguo: “…”
Ahem, he now knows that his future daughter-in-law is a bit thick-skinned.
Wen Huaian: “…”
blush
He didn't notice at all.
"Wen Huaian, what are you looking at?" Tang Cheng poked him with his eyes.
Wen Huaian touched his nose and coughed lightly: "Stunning eyes, you smiled beautifully just now."
Tang Cheng's face turned red and he raised his chin proudly.
"You don't even need to tell me that. I was born beautiful, with natural beauty."
Wen Huaian smiled as brightly as the moon and as handsome as jade.
"This is the truth!"
Tang Cheng's eyes curved into a smile, and he liked Wen Huaian more and more.
"I like to hear the truth!"
The corner of Zhang's mouth twitched.
The four maids: "..."
The lady is so easy to please!
Marquis Nanyang stared.
"A smooth talker is definitely not a good person!"
The Duke of Zhenguo lowered his head to drink tea, turning a deaf ear to the words of the Marquis of Nanyang.
I didn’t expect my son to be so good at coaxing little girls!
"Dad, Wen Huaian is a good person!" Tang Cheng was in a good mood and rarely spoke up for Wen Huaian.
Wen Huaian raised the corners of his lips.
Marquis Nanyang was a little worried.
Wen Huaian is just a little fox. He didn’t even notice that his precious daughter was being coaxed.
Nanyang Hou couldn't help but glare at Wen Huaian.
After such a long period of pleasantries, it was time to get down to business. The Duke of Zhenguo's face became serious.
"Ahem, it's getting late, Marquis Nanyang, I'll get straight to the point and tell you why I'm here today. I'm here to propose marriage on behalf of Huai'an!"
