The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Chapter 437: So Sensible That She Feels Distressed

No matter how difficult it is to speak, you have to speak up. The matter is already on the verge of being shot.

Under Lin Wanru's earnest gaze, Shen Qionghua gritted her teeth and spoke, her voice vague, "It's...it's Xie Nanyuan..."

Xie Nanyuan?

Last name Xie?

what.

What a familiar name.

It seems like I heard it somewhere before.

She couldn't remember.

Lin Wanru frowned and thought carefully.

Suddenly, her eyes froze, and then her pupils suddenly shrank. Her eyes widened and she looked at Shen Qionghua with disbelief on her face. "Is it... is it... is it that... that... Prince Rui?"

There was a sense of disbelief in the voice.

Shen Qionghua closed her eyes and said, "Yes, it's Prince Rui, Xie Nanyuan!"

"bump--"

The teacup in Lin Wanru's hand fell to the ground and broke into four pieces, and the warm tea poured all over Lin Wanru's embroidered shoes.

"Mother! Are you okay? Are you burned?"

Shen Qionghua quickly stood up and anxiously checked Lin Wanru's embroidered shoes.

Lin Wanru came back to her senses and suddenly grabbed Shen Qionghua's hand, with heartache and disappointment in her eyes, "Sister Hua, you are so confused!"

"Have you forgotten what my mother told you before? It's better to be a poor man's wife than a woman's concubine. Being a concubine will not lead to a good ending!"

"How could you forget all my mother's instructions? My mother will never harm you!"

Lin Wanru, who is always gentle, was so anxious that she almost stamped her feet.

Seeing her like this, Shen Qionghua was a little amused and said, "Mother, please listen to my explanation——"

"No need to explain!" Lin Wanru said, "Hua Jie'er, tell me honestly, was it Prince Rui who forced you to do this? I raised my own daughter, and I know her well. I don't believe you would willingly degrade yourself!"

"Don't be afraid. Mother will go with you to Prince Rui's mansion and make sure he gives up this idea!"

As she said that, Lin Wanru pulled Shen Qionghua and was about to leave.

This action scared Shen Qionghua, and she quickly hugged Lin Wanru, finally finding a chance to interrupt.

"Mother! Mother, calm down. Listen to me. This isn't a concubine. This is a formal marriage. This is your wife!"

Lin Wanru paused as she was about to leave, muttering, "Wife?"

Noticing that Lin Wanru had calmed down, Shen Qionghua let her go.

Lin Wanru looked at Shen Qionghua, "Sister Hua, you are not lying to me, are you?"

It's not that she looked down on her own daughter, but given the Shen family's status, wanting her to enter the royal family and marry the now popular Prince Rui as his legal wife sounded like a pipe dream.

Would the current emperor agree to Prince Rui marrying a merchant girl as his principal wife?

Seeing Lin Wanru's suspicious look, Shen Qionghua smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, is this the image of me in your mind? For a man, I would disregard everything, throw myself into the fire, and even willingly become a concubine and deceive my family?"

Lin Wanru: “…”

Lin Wanru coughed lightly and explained weakly, "That's not what Mother meant. Mother knows you are the most sensible."

She was just anxious at the moment and didn't think too much about it.

Lin Wanru looked a little embarrassed. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "That's not right! Didn't you swear to me that day that there was no romantic relationship between you and Prince Rui?"

"How...how come Prince Rui is coming to propose marriage after only two weeks?"

"Have you two secretly developed feelings for each other in the past half month, or did you, Hua Jie'er, trick me before?"

That’s a very good question, you hit the nail on the head.

Shen Qionghua's face froze and her expression was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, she decided to consider her own face.

She said incoherently, "I've always thought what you said made sense, mother. I don't want to be a concubine, so I never thought about it that way."

"Who knew he would actually be willing to marry her as his principal wife? I only then thought she was a good person, and since she has been helping the Shen family, I had this idea."

Of course, that's not the case. Xie Nanyuan expressed his feelings to her from the very beginning and promised her the position of princess.

But for the sake of his own face, Shen Qionghua simplified the process a little.

Fortunately, Lin Wanru was simple-minded and all her attention was on the fact that Xie Nanyuan was going to propose to Shen Qionghua. She was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice the guilty look that flashed across Shen Qionghua's eyes.

Lin Wanru nodded slightly when she heard this, it seemed to make some sense.

It’s okay as long as Hua Jie’er didn’t lie to her before.

but……

"Is Prince Rui really willing to marry her as his principal wife?" Lin Wanru asked repeatedly.

Why does it sound like a dream?

"It's absolutely true. He told me so himself..." Shen Qionghua said.

"What he said is useless. The current emperor must agree to your marriage." Lin Wanru said.

"The Emperor agreed."

Facing Lin Wanru's surprised eyes, Shen Qionghua said, "Xie Nanyuan said that he has already asked the Emperor. We will propose marriage tomorrow. If you agree, the Emperor will issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage."

Lin Wanru: “…”

You even alarmed the emperor?

So does she have any choice?

How could she disagree?

Lin Wanru was silent.

Shen Qionghua noticed that Lin Wanru's expression looked a little strange, as if... she was not happy.

She asked anxiously, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy? Or do you have any objections to Xie... Prince Rui?"

Lin Wanru pursed her lips and looked at Shen Qionghua with a complicated expression. She reached out and touched her hair and said, "Mother has no objection to Prince Rui. The child is extremely talented, brave and good at fighting, but he is also humble and polite, and treats people kindly. He is a perfect child."

Shen Qionghua listened to Lin Wanru's words in a daze, thinking to herself: Is mother talking about Xie Nanyuan?

This person used to be as cold as ice, but in private he was overbearing and awkward.

Humble and polite?

Be kind to others?

Where did he get involved?

A'niang had only met him a few times. From what unknown corner did she see the non-existent advantages in him?

The voice in my ear continued, "Prince Rui is good, but... Hua Jie'er, tell the truth to mother."

"Are you willing to marry Prince Rui because you really love him, or are you choosing to marry Prince Rui for the sake of the Shen family? Do you want to find a backer for the Shen family so that they won't be bullied?"

"If it's the latter... Hua Jie'er, you've already given enough to the Shen family. There's really no need to sacrifice your own lifelong happiness."

Her sister Hua has become so sensible since her husband left, so sensible that it makes her feel distressed.
