As a lady of the family, Deng Jiahua never likes to go out, but the affair between her and the sixth prince has spread a lot in the capital. Not only the Duke's office knows about this matter, but the sixth prince himself should also be aware of it.
Everyone in the capital knows that the two of them are in love with each other, and getting engaged is only a matter of time. Is there any need to explain this?
What's the use of explaining it to Deng Ruyu alone?
The most important thing is that the sixth prince's attitude clearly means that he does not intend to have anything more to do with Deng Jiahua. She looked at the man's back without looking back and couldn't help but catch up: "Your Highness, do you really not have any feelings for me?
"
The Sixth Prince paused slightly: "The girl asked this question, and I didn't know how to answer it for a moment. They all say that in matters of marriage, you have to obey the orders of your parents. Even if I am willing, my father must nod. Besides, I don't know the girl very well.
I don’t know how the girl could ask this..."
The implication is that everything that happened before was Deng Jiahua’s own fault.
The words had been made clear enough. Deng Jiahua could not accept the truth, and unknowingly he burst into tears: "Your Highness, the matter between us has been widely circulated. If you... really think so, what will happen to my reputation?
?How can I get married in the future?"
The rumor of a romantic affair between a man and a woman is certainly not good for the woman, but it is not much better for the man. A romantic reputation cannot escape. If the Sixth Prince really had no intention of marrying her, why didn't he stop the previous rumors?
In Deng Jiahua's view, the sixth prince had previously intended to marry her, but he changed his mind due to other matters.
The sixth prince was confused: "What rumors are there between the two of us? This palace has never heard of it." He ordered his followers: "Go and inquire outside. If someone is really spreading rumors, clarify it quickly."
The followers responded and left.
Deng Jiahua's heart sank.
If the Sixth Prince personally came forward to clarify the rumors between the two, she would never have the chance to become the Sixth Prince's concubine in the future.
Deng Jiahua was extremely anxious and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, I..."
The Sixth Prince took a step back: "The girl said that there are already rumors about the relationship between the two of us, so it's better to stay away from me. It's even worse to be alone. From now on, wherever the girl appears, I will never set foot again.
"
He was so eager to clear up the relationship between the two that he even forgot to call himself.
Deng Jiahua was dumbfounded. When he wanted to speak again, the people in front of him had already turned around and left, hurriedly walking as if fleeing.
Deng Jiahua made this trip because he wanted to finalize the marriage between the two of them. However, he failed to do so and completely ruined his chance of becoming the sixth prince's concubine.
She couldn't accept such a result for a while, and she cried so much that she couldn't breathe. After doing this, she didn't have the shame to go back to the city. Anyway, her village was next door... Even though she was Deng Ruyu's dowry, she was her legitimate daughter.
,Does Deng Ruyu still dare to kick her out?
What's more, all the things in the Duke's mansion should be sorted out by the direct descendants and then distributed to other people. If she wants to take back this Zhuangzi, Deng Ruyu can only obediently give it to her.
Chu Yunli didn't know her complicated thoughts, so she dined with Kuang Xian, and the two of them went for a walk outside to eat. They were joking the whole time.
Deng Jiahua was so anxious and uneasy that she couldn't sit still, so she went to the trail outside. When she saw the two of them coming hand in hand, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of sadness in her heart.
The two people were not very close, and they didn't even touch each other, but there was a kind of closeness that no one else could get in on. Especially the way His Highness looked at the second sister, it was gentle and tolerant. She had never felt such a look before.
Chu Yunli saw the person at the door of his village at a glance: "Sister didn't come back to the city?"
"It's a rare trip. I want to stay away for a while to relax." Deng Jiahua opened his mouth and said: "Second sister, you and His Highness are not married yet. It's not good. You have been alone for too long..."
The two have become an unmarried couple. Except for acupuncture, there are always people around to take care of them every time they get along, and there is no distance. Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "Sister, it is better not to worry about anything. Sooner or later, Your Highness and I will become husband and wife, and we will be close."
A few things don’t matter. Maybe my sister doesn’t know, but just yesterday the palace sent people to give me a lot of things, saying that they were afraid that I would not be used to living in the suburbs.”
This is what the emperor means.
In other words, the emperor is very willing to let this unmarried daughter-in-law spend more time with his son.
Even the emperor doesn't care about it. Deng Jiahua doesn't care about it. What does it mean?
Deng Jiahua's complexion changed slightly.
The daughter-in-law of the royal family has a noble status, but if she is not liked by her elders, she will lose her reputation. How can Deng Ruyu not be jealous when Deng Ruyu is treated differently by the emperor?
Kuang Xi'an frowned and looked at her: "Ruyu, in two days the Ministry of Etiquette will hire someone, and they will buy a village and put it under your name. Remember to move there and live there for a while. After all, we will have to wait until we get married before we can think of a small business."
I’m afraid it won’t be easy to live there.”
Chu Yunli agreed casually.
Deng Jiahua had something on his mind and did not take these words to heart. As a result, there was a lot of noise in the yard early the next morning while it was still dim.
The Duke's Mansion occupies half of the street and is very quiet. Deng Jiahua's courtyard is located in the middle of the Duke's Mansion, so she can't be disturbed at all from outside. In addition, it was the first time she came here last night, and everything was quite shabby, which made her feel uncomfortable after she was used to being pampered.
She was so used to it that she almost stayed up all night, listening to people coming and going outside. She was so angry that she pushed open the window: "You have intentions, right?"
Everyone outside was startled and couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. Chu Yunli stood on the side of the road, waving his hands and saying, "It's your business."
Deng Jiahua was wrapped in a cloak and stared at his second sister outside: "What's the fuss about so early in the morning?"
"I'm moving away. Someone from the Ministry of Rites just sent me a land deed. The village is located halfway up the mountain and is much more comfortable than here. His Highness the Third Prince also has a village there. His Highness said that it is quieter there and more suitable for recuperation.
Chu Yunli's face remained as usual: "Sister, there is no need to move. We sisters don't say those foreign words between us. You regard this place as your own home. You can live here as long as you want."
Deng Jiahua suddenly realized that this girl Deng Ruyu probably didn't want to live with him, and His Highness the Third Prince next door was also willing to protect her, so he sent a land deed... The Ministry of Rites' dowry could not come so quickly.
"you dislike me?"
Questioning tone.
Chu Yunli was amused: "Sister, I think too much. With my status, how dare I dislike my sister?"
I don’t dare!
Deng Jiahua stared at her fiercely: "Second sister, don't think that your wings have become stiff. You can treat me casually if you don't need the Duke's palace. When you married into the Lu family, the Lu family treated you like an ancestor and said
After all, it’s all because you are the daughter of the Duke’s family. The higher you marry, the more you need a strong natal family to support you. Go back and read the history books yourself. How many royal daughters-in-law are living well without their natal family?
"
"Sister, I'm serious, I don't have the thoughts you think I have." Chu Yunli urged the servants who were moving things next to her: "I don't need anything else, just move these away."
Deng Jiahua: "..."
This clearly means that after living a rich and prosperous life, it is not good to abandon things.
She wanted to say something more, but the people at the door quickly disappeared.
As soon as Chu Yunli moved away, the Zhuangzi next door became empty. Deng Jiahua originally thought that living next door to the third prince would make it easier to see the sixth prince on the waterfront. However, as soon as Chu Yunli moved away, even if the sixth prince came, he would go halfway up the mountain.
She couldn't stop anyone here at all. This shabby village was no place for people to stay, and everything was in trouble. So, in the afternoon of that day, she returned to the Duke's Mansion.
The sixth prince wanted to clear up such a big thing from her, so Deng Jiahua did not dare to hide it from his family. In the evening of that day, he informed his parents of the matter.
In fact, the Duke of Guo had already received the news. People outside the Sixth Prince explained everywhere that he had no intention of marrying a girl from the Deng family, and expressed confusion that they did not know where the rumors originated.
The former had already made the Duke feel uncomfortable, and the latter made him extremely angry.
Outsiders don't care who spread the rumors. If the Sixth Prince says it's not him, then everyone will think that the Duke's office wants to get close to the Prince and spreads these rumors deliberately to force the Sixth Prince to marry.
After returning home, the Duke lost his temper, but he could only suffer the loss of being dumb. What if he didn't suffer the consequences? Could he go to the street and grab people one by one to explain that the message was not passed down from his family?
After hearing what his daughter said, Luo Shi turned blue with anger and slapped the table: "It's too much to bully someone."
It's really too much to deceive.
The Duke of Guo frowned: "Don't lose your temper, be careful that the walls have ears."
After hearing this, Luo Shi became even more aggrieved and cried: "His Highness clearly did not have such an attitude before, but now he suddenly changed it and blamed all the faults on us. With such a reputation on his back, Jiahua went to
How can I get married later?"
It has been very uncomfortable for my daughter to have a concubine weighing on her head these days. As a result, she can't even marry a well-matched young man, so she has to look for someone at a lower level. How can she be willing to accept it?
The Duke sighed: "We are ministers, but he is the prince. What do you think we can do?"
There was nothing Roche could do.
When Deng Jiahua saw his parents like this, he couldn't help crying again. After returning home, he cried until he fainted. His eyes were swollen when he fell asleep.
When Luo heard that her daughter had fainted, she went to visit her. She was extremely distressed. After returning to the main courtyard, she took the Duke and cried again.
"They have been dating for more than a year, and everyone in the capital knows about it. Nowadays, even if you fall out, you can't bully others like this, right?"
The Duke of Guo was furious. In fact, he had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Sixth Prince, but he didn't dare to blame him because of his status. After hearing what the Madam said, he lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, and said: "I want Jiahua to be the prince's concubine."
, it’s not like there’s nothing we can do.”
Luo Shi's eyes lit up: "Say."
The Duke's expression was complicated: "Even if the matter is settled, it may offend people to death."
Luo Shi was not stupid. He had been married to the Duke for many years and had some tacit understanding. Seeing his expression, he asked tentatively: "Do you mean to force him to admit it when he is cooked?"
"This is the only way." The Duke of Guo sighed: "This can certainly preserve the family's reputation and allow her to fulfill her wish. But there are also drawbacks to this matter. If the sixth prince is really angry, he will probably not marry him.
It’s just a concubine. Also, even if Jiahua successfully marries her, she won’t be trusted and favored by the Sixth Prince for a while.”
Luo Shi really loves her daughter and really thinks this is a bad idea.
But now, apart from this bad idea, she really can't think of any other way.
