Chapter 192 The world is crazy!
Chapter 192 The world is crazy!
Chu Yue entered her father's study and saw that her father seemed to be writing a letter.
When Lord Chu saw Chu Yue coming in, he hurriedly hid the letter in his hand behind his back and asked, "Didn't your mother teach you to knock before entering a house?"
Chu Yue had just come in with such a high and mighty air, but after being yelled at by Marquis Chu, she began to tremble all over, her legs went weak, and she fell to her knees.
"Father, I didn't mean it." Chu Yue said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Lord Chu frowned deeply when he saw Chu Yue like this. Even if he had another choice, he would not choose this waste in front of him.
Thinking of Chu Yue's usefulness, Lord Chu could only coax her patiently, "Okay, take back the tears from your eyes. If you mess up your carefully applied makeup, I will dig your eyes out directly."
Chu Yue sniffed, closed her mouth tightly, and forced back the tears in her eyes.
When Chu Yue tidied herself up, apart from her slightly red eyes, there was no sign that she had cried.
The two men packed up and got on a carriage heading straight for Prince Rui's mansion.
As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, Lord Chu's personal servant came forward and knocked on the door. The palace's gatekeeper came out and asked, "Who are you?"
The servant of Lord Chu came forward and said flatteringly, "Young man, my master is Lord Chu, and I'm here to talk to Prince Rui about something."
The gatekeeper actually knew Marquis Chu, but thinking of the loss his princess suffered at his hands, he couldn't help but want to make things more difficult for him.
"Okay, you guys wait here, I'll go and make the announcement."
Lord Chu's servant wanted to go forward and ask them to go in and sit down first.
Snapped!
The gatekeeper of the palace closed the door.
Lord Chu's face turned dark instantly, but when he thought of his purpose, he decided to endure it.
Lord Chu stood at the gate for a while before the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion opened again. "Lord Chu, our prince wants you to come in."
The servant opened the door halfway and let Lord Chu in, which was more or less insulting.
Lord Chu snorted coldly and walked inside. Isn't it just Prince Rui's Mansion? Who knows who will rely on whom in the future. Don't come and hug his legs to beg him when the time comes.
The servant led them to the living room and said, "Please wait here for a moment, my Lord. My Lord will come as soon as he finishes his business."
The two of them drank several pots of tea one after another. They felt they couldn't hold it any longer and were just about to go to the toilet when Prince Rui appeared.
Prince Rui put aside his airs and aura, sat down on the chair, his lazy look full of casualness and charm, "My Lord, is there anything you want to talk about? Tell me."
After being asked this question, Lord Chu didn't know what to say.
He cleared his throat and said, "Prince Rui, do you want to give our Chu family an explanation for what happened at the banquet?"
Prince Rui glanced at Chu Yue, who was sitting next to Marquis Chu. "Marquis Chu came to me to ask for an explanation. Did he bring the wrong person?"
Chu Yue turned the topic to her, her legs tightly closed together in nervousness, "I came here with my father."
Prince Rui snorted coldly when he saw her unpresentable appearance. He really didn't know what the Marquis Chu had the confidence to think that he could be interested in Chu Yue, a loser.
"Let's talk about the matter. To make a long story short, I still have a lot of things to deal with." Prince Rui was a little impatient. He was not as free as Lord Chu.
Lord Chu also noticed Prince Rui's impatience. He could even feel that Prince Rui did not take him seriously at all. He was almost ready to kick him out.
"I also heard that the prince has already taken General Dingbei's daughter into his mansion. Does he want to give our mansion an explanation now?"
Prince Rui suddenly sneered, "Marquis Chu, I didn't know you were such a protective person. Isn't it a little late to come to me with this matter now? If you had been a little nicer to her before, I would have believed your lies today."
"Why don't you tell me the purpose of today?" Prince Rui picked up the teacup and took a sip, meaning that they only had time for this cup of tea.
"He's here to sell his daughter." Chu Ci walked in from outside, stood in front of Cang Mo with his arms folded across his chest, and looked at Lord Chu with disdain. "Why is he so anxious to sell his daughter? What price can he get now?"
"By kilogram or by ton? Can it be sold at a good price like this?" Chu Ci circled around Chu Yue twice.
Finally, he held his chin with his hand, shook his head repeatedly, and made a hissing sound. "Looking like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell for a good price. I calculated that I definitely won't be able to sell for a good price today. How about you two leave first?"
Cang Mo and Lin Fengyunsheng tried hard to suppress the urge to laugh. The princess was so mean-spirited.
"Chu Ci!" Lord Chu stood up and looked at Chu Ci angrily, "Don't forget, you are still a member of the Chu family. I still have the final say in your affairs."
Chu Ci looked at Lord Chu coldly, and said with a thin mouth, "As long as I want, I can stop being a member of the Chu family at any time. The word Chu family means nothing to me."
Cang Mo was so excited when he saw this. He liked to see Chu Ci's domineering look.
Seeing that his master was looking at the end, Lin Feng secretly pulled his sleeve and said something in Cang Mo's ear.
Cang Mo's face turned pale instantly, and he kept looking at Chu Ci.
Seeing that Prince Rui did not move, Lin Feng anxiously tugged at the corner of Prince Rui's clothes, "Master, this is a serious matter."
Prince Rui made up his mind and said, "Alright, Lord Chu, please tell me quickly what your purpose of coming here is."
Chu Ci realized that things were not going right. Normally, Cang Mo should have ordered someone to throw them both out, but now he actually asked them to tell him their purpose. This was not right.
But thinking about his recent behavior, perhaps, it was never him who was wrong, but myself. If I think this way, then everything is right.
Chu Ci didn't say anything, but his originally hot heart became colder and colder.
Everything is becoming more and more different.
Lord Chu looked at Chu Ci coldly, then walked up to Prince Rui and said, "I want to say that these two things have had a negative impact on the reputation of our Chu family. Yue'er hasn't found a husband yet, so it's difficult now."
"Why not marry Yue'er to the prince as well, and make her a concubine like Chu Ci, so that the prince can enjoy the happiness of having two wives. This way, it will be better for all of us."
Chu Ci believed that King Rui would never agree to such a thing and did not take it to heart at all.
Cang Mo stared at Chu Ci with his eyes fixed, and said calmly, "Okay!"
Chu Ci looked at Cang Mo in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.
Seeing that Prince Rui agreed, Lord Chu quickly took the opportunity to say, "Your Highness, our Xiaoyue is a concubine's daughter, so why don't you just stay in the palace? I will find someone to send the dowry."
"Okay!" One word, decisive and decisive, decided everything.
Chu Ci felt like she was going crazy. She suddenly didn't understand this world anymore, or maybe this world was crazy and she couldn't fit in.
