Chapter 150 Life-saving grace
She knew that men cared most about face, and a hero like Cheng Lang wanted to maintain a perfect image even more.
She wouldn't go out and tell anyone about it. Even if Cheng Lang couldn't become her son-in-law, there was no need for her to make enemies.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Cheng Lang stood up and bowed.
Princess Jing'an smiled awkwardly. She had originally planned to come here to force Cheng Lang to marry Li Yueyao.
But now...
She absolutely could not let Cheng Lang know what she was thinking.
Cheng Lang is good! But he is not humane, so he is not worthy of her daughter.
The man her daughter was going to marry was at least a healthy man.
Otherwise, Li Yueyao would have escaped from the wolf's den and fallen into the tiger's den. Wouldn't this have cost Li Yueyao her life?
She couldn't bear to see her little girl being bullied again.
"Then we won't disturb the Duke anymore." Princess Jing'an stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Yueyao didn't want to leave. She came to see Cheng Lang today because...
She doesn't mind that Cheng Lang is inhumane.
Three years ago, she went to Yunshan Temple to burn incense, and was kidnapped by a group of men on her way back.
It was Cheng Lang who brought people to rescue her.
She was drowsy at the time and only heard someone calling "Duke".
There were only two dukes in Dongyu. She had inquired and found out that only Cheng Lang appeared outside the city that day, and Lu Qin had not left Kyoto during that period.
The person who saved her must be Cheng Lang.
At that time, she was just grateful to Cheng Lang and had no other thoughts. It was not until Feng Qinian got drunk and beat her and she divorced him that she thought about marrying Cheng Lang.
She didn't care whether Cheng Lang had any hidden illness or not. She just wanted to be with Cheng Lang and repay him for saving her life.
Seeing the reluctance on Li Yueyao's face, Princess Jing'an hurriedly pulled Li Yueyao away together.
Sitting in the carriage, Princess Jing'an finally spoke, "Yao'er! Are you crazy? Didn't you hear what Cheng Lang said? He...he is no different from a eunuch! Mother will never allow you to marry a man like him again!"
There are many good men like him, so don't think about him anymore!"
Su Yuan on the side was a little curious. Cheng Lang said that he was inhumane, but Li Yueyao didn't mind?
she……
Do you love Cheng Lang so much?
"Mother! I... I don't care whether the Duke can... I want to marry the Duke." After Li Yueyao finished speaking, she lowered her head and said nothing.
Su Yuan pursed her lips slightly. It seemed that she did have a love rival.
And this love rival is very unusual.
If she knew that Cheng Lang was a eunuch, she would definitely run away from him as far away as possible!
But Li Yueyao could accept this. Li Yueyao loved Cheng Lang more than she did.
"Nonsense! Don't mention this matter again! Mother will find another man for you." Princess Jing'an directly stopped Li Yueyao's absurdity.
Cheng Lang is good-looking, but a face cannot make a living, and she will never allow Li Yueyao to do anything stupid.
Li Yueyao hesitated to speak. She was now a woman who had married for the second time. How could she find a better marriage?
It would be nice if she could become the wife of Duke Li.
At worst, they could treat each other with respect for the rest of their lives and adopt a son to inherit the family business.
But she understood that her mother always kept her word.
Li Yueyao knew that she couldn't persuade her mother, but she still wanted to fight for it.
"Mother, I...the Duke once saved my life, and I am willing to marry him."
Even if she didn't have any romantic feelings for Cheng Lang, at least she felt grateful to him.
She was willing to marry Cheng Lang and live as a widow for the rest of her life, so that Cheng Lang would not become a laughing stock.
Upon hearing this, Princess Jing'an widened her eyes.
Is Li Yueyao crazy?
Knowing that Cheng Lang has problems, you still insist on marrying him?
Cheng Lang saved Li Yueyao's life, so they just gave him more money as a reward.
Why risk your whole life?
At worst, she could give Cheng Lang some silver and gold after she returned.
"But... Mother, how can I repay your life-saving grace with money? Mother, I want to talk to the Duke alone. Can you help your daughter?" Li Yueyao pleaded.
She wanted to ask Cheng Lang what he thought in front of him.
If Cheng Lang is willing, she will marry Cheng Lang.
If Cheng Lang didn't want to, she wouldn't do anything ungrateful.
Princess Jing'an opened her mouth. She didn't want to agree to her daughter's excessive request.
But she understood that some things had to be faced before they could be let go. Since Li Yueyao wanted to repay Cheng Lang, she would do Li Yueyao a favor.
She didn't think Cheng Lang was a shameless person who would ruin other people's lives.
She was not worried that Cheng Lang would agree to the marriage.
"Okay! I will ask the Duke to come out again tomorrow so that you can explain things to him clearly." Princess Jing'an compromised.
Li Yueyao smiled and said, "Thank you, mother!"
Su Yuan on the side did not say anything, but just listened quietly to the conversation between mother and daughter.
When the carriage arrived at the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, Princess Jing'an spoke, "Thank you for your help today, Madam Gu. I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."
Although she did not achieve her wish today, Su Yuan did help her.
She will remember this kindness.
Su Yuan forced a smile: "Your Highness is too polite! It was Your Highness who helped me a great favor. Now that the Duke and I have reconciled, we don't have to worry about the Duke's revenge on us in the future."
Princess Jing'an smiled and patted the back of Su Yuan's hand. "That's good. I'll invite you to my house next time."
After Su Yuan bowed, he got off the carriage and returned to his room.
As soon as she entered the house, Cheng Lang was already waiting for her inside.
Looking at Cheng Lang's furious face, Su Yuan pursed her lips slightly, "Brother, are you angry? I didn't mean it! You know, that's Princess Jing'an! How can I have the ability to go against her?"
Besides, there was no need for her to be an enemy of Princess Jing'an.
Now is the perfect time!
Princess Jing'an did not become her enemy, and Cheng Lang did not have to really marry Li Yueyao.
"Do you really want me to marry someone else?" Cheng Lang said angrily.
Su Yuan sat down next to him and shook her head gently, "Of course not! I know you won't marry anyone else."
Cheng Lang: ...
He reached out and pinched Su Yuan's face. "Then why did you bring people here to piss me off? You can find an excuse to shirk it."
Su Yuan did it on purpose. If she didn't want to go, she had a hundred ways to refuse.
But she went anyway.
She was just making fun of him on purpose.
Su Yuan pursed her lips. She really wanted to see with her own eyes how Cheng Lang would reject Princess Jing'an.
Who knows if Cheng Lang will...
Now it has been proven that Cheng Lang would rather lose face than marry.
From now on, she won't have to test Cheng Lang anymore.
"Brother! I... I just want to see you reject others with my own eyes. How could I want to make fun of you?" Su Yuan leaned lightly in his arms and said softly.
She simply wanted to see Cheng Lang firmly choose her, and had no other thoughts!
