The purple sand teapot was thrown to the ground hard and fell apart instantly.
"It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing! For generations, the Han family has never been as embarrassed as today! Han Yuxi, do you still know that you are the eldest lady of the Han family?
Do you still know the Han family’s family rules and training?”
Faced with overwhelming accusations, Han Yuxi knelt in front of the ancestral temple, lowered her head and said nothing, allowing her father Han Zhendong to curse furiously.
"I've long felt that something wasn't right with you about that boy Chu Nan, but unexpectedly you actually fell in love with him?
If you like him, you should tell me earlier. The Han family and the Chu family have already decided to form an alliance, and you and Chu Xin have almost talked about it. It would be better now, give me a show of strength, right?
Tell me, how can you let the Han family have the face to see people in the future!"
"Father...I, I..." Han Yuxi has never seen her father so angry. Growing up, because of her obedience and excellence, her father rarely criticized her harshly. This time, she finally realized
The trouble he caused at the royal banquet was probably more serious than he imagined.
"What are you, Han Yuxi, do you know how big a mistake you have made?
How do you ask our Han family to tell the Chu family?
Oh, I'm sorry, Lao Chu, our daughter cheated on her and liked another man, so we should cancel the engagement we had agreed on before?"
The more Han Zhendong talked, the angrier he became. He grinned and said, "The Chu family in the capital is not a soft persimmon. We could have been friends, but now we are about to become enemies! Because of you, the entire alliance plan of the Han family has been completely destroyed."
Chaos, do you know how much damage it will cause to the family?
You...you are too willful and wanton!"
Han Yuxi couldn't help but shed tears as she listened. She actually knew that the best way for the Jingcheng family to remain standing was to form political alliances, political marriages, and consolidate connections, so that they would not become the target of public criticism.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful your family is, who can you defeat alone?
If they turn against the Chu family and become enemies this time, not only will they lose a large number of allies, but the Han family will also be discredited and gradually become isolated from the wealthy families in the capital. It is impossible to say that the losses are not huge.
"Zhendong, is it still useful to talk about this now?
The key is how to remedy it.”
At this time, Han Guanlei, the head of the Han family and Han Yuxi's grandfather, suddenly said, "I don't believe that my smart granddaughter would make such a childish mistake. There must be something hidden in it.
Yuxi, tell grandpa what's going on?
Why do this?"
Han Yuxi looked at her grandfather, her eyes were red and she choked, "Grandpa...I'm sorry..." "Now is not the time to be sorry. Are you really in love with that Chu Nan?"
Do you really want to marry him only?"
Han Guanlei said seriously, "You have to think carefully before answering!"
"I..." Han Yuxi opened her mouth, thinking of that figure in her mind, and seemed to not know how to answer.
After thinking about it, she shook her head with some self-deprecation and said, "Grandpa, I, I actually just don't want him to be put in a water prison, and I don't want Her Royal Highness to be punished because of me, so I made this decision out of desperation."
"Okay, you, Han Yuxi, are the only saint, and you are the only one who likes to help friends, right?"
Han Zhendong hated the fact that iron is not as strong as steel, "You are also a businesswoman who is responsible for your role after all, why are you still so naive?"
"Your daughter is not naive. She has her own principles and bottom line. Don't blame her for this."
When Han Guanlei said this, he pondered for a while and said, "The Chu family will definitely come to us tomorrow. Let's talk to them then and try to settle the marriage between Chu Xin and Han Yuxi as soon as possible."
"What?
But... isn't Yuxi already at the banquet..." "Marriage to a wealthy family is based on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, so what does it matter if she told nonsense?
As long as the marriage is agreed, no one can say anything, and the turmoil caused by this matter will disappear."
Han Guanlei's words immediately woke up Han Zhendong. He nodded and acknowledged, "It is true. As long as the marriage is agreed, all rumors and rumors will naturally end."
When Han Yuxi heard this, she reluctantly opened her mouth to resist, but in the end she remained silent.
She is far less courageous than Princess Xiaoyao, who will do whatever it takes to be free.
When it comes to your own marriage and love, you look beyond everything else.
She is the eldest lady of the Han family. She has been taught since she was a child that everything must be based on the interests of the Han family and the development of the Han family. Sacrificing the small self to fulfill the greater self is what is right and what should be done.
of.
If she, Han Yuxi, refuses to marry Chu Xin, then a series of reactions will appear, falling like dominoes.
Therefore, the Han family will never agree, and she is not willing to see the day when the Han family becomes the target of public criticism... With the future of the family on one side and the freedom of love on the other, Han Yuxi is extremely conflicted in her heart at this time, so she can only acquiesce.
"Father, what should we do about Chu Nan?
If we still have contact with him, it is inevitable that the Chu family may have a grudge?"
Han Zhendong asked at this time.
"Although that Chu Nan has no backing and is not very strong, he has the fairy jade that the two elders covet, so you must not fall out with him."
Han Guanlei continued to speak, "Continue to keep in touch, the treasure fair will start in a few days, at least wait until it is over."
Han Zhendong nodded to express his understanding.
At this time, Han Guanlei walked up to Han Yuxi, helped her up and said earnestly, "Yuxi, the love between children is important, but it is definitely not important enough to ignore the future of the Han family.
You have to make sacrifices for this family.
But don't worry, if Chu Xin feels sorry for you in any way, the Han family will definitely make the decision for you. If you really have no feelings for him after marriage... As long as you don't get divorced, I will agree to your separation."
The helplessness in Han Yuxi's expression flashed away, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Grandpa, I know..." "It's good to know, it's good to know..." Han Guanlei patted her shoulder and said, "It's getting late, hurry up
rest.
As for Chu Nan, I need to trouble you to contact him more. Whatever requests he has before the treasure fair, the Han family will try their best to meet them."
When Han Yuxi heard what Han Guanlei said, she frowned and said, "Grandpa?"
When Chu Nan participated in the treasure fair, the Han family gave up a place for him. It was considered a favor to him, but why... From what you said, it seemed like you wanted to fawn over him instead?
Will our Han family benefit from his participation in the trade fair?"
"You don't have to worry about it. Anyway, remember that Chu Nan is still valuable to our Han family, so we have to treat him well. Do you understand?"
Han Guanlei did not directly answer Han Yuxi's words, but emphasized again.
Han Yuxi vaguely felt that something was wrong. Why did the Han family try so hard to curry favor with Chu Nan?
Do we need any help from him at the trade fair?
After returning to her room, Han Yuxi was puzzled and thought for a while before calling Princess Xiaoyao Yang Yuxin and told her everything about Chu Nan.
Not only the transaction with the Han family about the fairy jade and the participation in the treasure fair, but also the fact that the Man family in the capital had set up a trap against him and sent experts to assassinate him, all of them were briefly described.
On the phone, Princess Xiaoyao was silent for a long time before speaking out, "It seems that Chu Nan may be in danger at any time in the capital, and I can't just stand by and watch.
Thank you Sister Yuxi, I will find a way."
After hanging up the phone, Han Yuxi, who was sitting quietly in the bedroom, looked at the moonlight outside the window and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Maybe it's because of his own tragic fate in the future, maybe... he's worried about the future of this brave princess.
