Chapter 1239 - 39: Love Debts (Part 15)_3
Otherwise, Princess Jing Mountain would truly be uneasy about her Imperial Sister marrying Su Yang.Princess Yinchuan was upset with the City Patrol Office for being too loose-lipped when a palace maid rushed in.
She ran quite fast and was panting heavily.
"What is it that’s so urgent?" Princess Jing Mountain asked.
"General Shi entered the palace to request the Emperor to bestow a marriage for his nephew."
Princess Jing Mountain looked at Princess Yinchuan.
Princess Yinchuan suddenly stood up, "Brother-in-law wouldn’t agree, right?"
"That’s uncertain," Princess Jing Mountain said with a heavy heart.
Princess Yinchuan immediately ran out.
As soon as she left, Princess Jing Mountain couldn’t hold back her laughter.
She raised her hand, signaling the palace maid to help her chase after her.
When Princess Yinchuan hurriedly arrived at the Imperial Study, General Shi was walking away with a beaming smile.
This was clearly the smile of having achieved one’s wish.
Princess Yinchuan quickly entered the Imperial Study, "Brother-in-law, did you really bestow a marriage for me?"
Zhao Xu looked at her and said, "General Shi only considers you as Prime Minister Zhao’s niece. With all your matters being widely discussed, if I don’t agree, General Shi will have his nephew abduct you."
"General Shi is indeed one to do as he says."
"But I already have a betrothal," Princess Yinchuan said urgently.
Princess Jing Mountain came over and said, "Imperial Sister, don’t worry. Since the Emperor has bestowed a marriage, naturally there will be a perfect solution."
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Second Young Master of East Town Marquis Mansion, Su Yang, has sent me a letter, hoping I can help cancel the betrothal with you."
"As long as Beimo agrees to cancel the engagement, Dongxiang Marquis Mansion will have no objections."
Princess Jing Mountain looked at her Imperial Sister and said, "Originally, Imperial Sister wanted you to marry Prince Jing’s adopted son, but who would have thought that before the Emperor could bestow a marriage, this matter would arise."
"Since it’s General Shi’s nephew who saved you on the street, he shouldn’t be bad."
"For a young lady, her reputation is as heavy as the sky. If you don’t marry General Shi’s nephew, I’m afraid in the future no one will dare to offend General Shi by coming to propose to you..."
What can Princess Yinchuan do?
Su Yang has talked about marrying her more than once or twice.
What happened on the road to Capital City, only she and Su Yang know. But being publicly captured and detained together can’t be hidden.
Actually—
Putting aside Su Yang’s annoying moments, she doesn’t really resist marrying him.
She’s just always been uncertain about her engagement to Second Young Master of East Town Marquis Mansion.
Can Imperial Sister and Brother-in-law really help her cancel that betrothal?
Zhao Xu still has memorials to review, and General Shi wasn’t even here to request a marriage for them earlier; General Shi is busy, he has no time to humor two young ones.
Princess Jing Mountain pulled Princess Yinchuan away.
Princess Yinchuan stayed in the palace for most of the day before returning to the Zhao Family.
Everyone in the Zhao Family was congratulating her.
By nightfall, Princess Yinchuan was both anxious and hurried.
Because Su Yang, sporting Tang Feng’s face, came looking for her.
Upon seeing Su Yang, Princess Yinchuan realized something wasn’t right.
Prince Jing’s adopted son likes showing up late at night to see her.
Both of their tempers aren’t good.
If they met in her boudoir, they would fight.
Tearing off the roof would be nothing.
If it gets out of hand, she really won’t be able to live.
However, Su Yang came for serious matters; he didn’t expect Princess Yinchuan wasn’t Prime Minister Zhao’s niece, just like him, with a fake identity.
He’s General Shi’s nephew; Princess Yinchuan’s willingness to marry him doesn’t mean she’s willing to go to Daqi with him.
He can’t possibly stay long in Nanlin.
Zhao Xu asked if he planned to hold the wedding banquet in Nanlin or later back in Daqi.
Su Yang came for this matter.
He looked at Princess Yinchuan and said, "I’m General Shi’s nephew, but my family is far away; I want to hold the wedding banquet back home, what do you think?"
Princess Yinchuan’s face blushed.
She hasn’t even made up her mind to marry him yet!
How did he already think of holding a wedding banquet?!
Princess Yinchuan said nothing; Su Yang looked at her and said, "If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as your consent."
"Why do you insist on marrying me?" Princess Yinchuan asked.
"Just because my face got tanned?"
Su Yang added, "Also because you were seen naked."
Princess Yinchuan, "...!!!"
She angrily gritted her teeth, "That’s nonsense!"
What ’seen naked’?
At most, he saw her neck!
Su Yang, "...."
Su Yang scratched his forehead and said, "Also because you’re a bit silly."
Princess Yinchuan wanted to kick him to death.
You’re the one who’s silly!
She glared at him, Su Yang said, "After you left, I kept worrying you’d encounter danger."
"Only keeping you under my watch would put my mind at ease."
This statement was heartfelt.
Princess Yinchuan’s heart skipped a beat and she said, "Since you’re General Shi’s nephew and have his token, why did you make a fake token?"
Su Yang, "...."
Just called her silly, now she’s suddenly clever.
"Couldn’t get the real one, so I made a fake," Su Yang said.
"...."
"It’s fine for me to carry a fake token because I know where the real one is, others might not."
"...."
Princess Yinchuan was speechless.
Who would rely on being General Shi’s nephew and carry a fake token to frighten people everywhere?!
Luckily, he has strong backing; otherwise, many heads wouldn’t be enough to chop off.
Su Yang sat on the floor, finding it uncomfortable, so he just laid down.
Princess Yinchuan didn’t see him, otherwise, she would definitely think it looked familiar.
Because Prince Jing’s adopted son also acts this way, not a bit different.
Princess Yinchuan pulled him up, "Get up now!"
Su Yang stubbornly refused to get up, "I’m staying here tonight."
Princess Yinchuan was furious, "How can that be?!"
"Why not?" Su Yang asked.
"On the road, we already shared a room, and now there’s a marriage bestowed; aside from marrying me, you have no other choice."
"I’m just sleeping here; I’m not doing anything else."
Princess Yinchuan’s neck turned red.
I’ve never seen someone so shameless!
"If you’re going to sleep here, then I’ll squeeze into a room with the maid," Princess Yinchuan said.
"..."
Su Yang sat up and said, "Answer me two questions and I’ll leave."
"Then ask away," Princess Yinchuan said.
"If I weren’t General Shi’s nephew, would you still marry me?" Su Yang asked.
Princess Yinchuan furrowed her brow.
Isn’t he General Shi’s nephew?
Even Imperial Sister agreed to her marrying him, which shows he has an unusual family background.
Princess Yinchuan hurried him, "What’s your other question?"
"It’s the previous question. After marrying me, the chances to visit Capital City will be few and far between," Su Yang said.
Princess Yinchuan didn’t think much.
The distance, how far can it be?
No matter how far, it can’t be farther than Dongxiang Marquis Mansion in Daqi.
The two questions aren’t problems for her.
But she didn’t reply either.
Su Yang looked at her, his expression exceptionally serious, "Is it consent again?"
Princess Yinchuan glared at him, why must she say it out loud!
"What if I don’t want to?" Princess Yinchuan tilted her head and asked.
Su Yang pinched her cheek and said, "If you don’t want to, what else can I do?"
"I’ll have to find a way to bring your parents to my home."
Princess Yinchuan, "...!!!"
What kind of thought process is this?
Her mind couldn’t wrap around it.
"Why not bring your parents?" Princess Yinchuan asked.
"That’s too difficult," Su Yang said.
"If I bring it up, they won’t be considered my parents anymore."
"Why?" Princess Yinchuan was puzzled.
"Because then I would have been kicked out and severed ties with them."
"..."
"Can’t even mention it?" Princess Yinchuan said with surprise.
"... I’m not highly ranked in the family."
Not highly ranked?
He’s skilled in martial arts, yet not highly ranked.
Could he be a concubine-born son with many brothers?
"How many brothers do you have?" Princess Yinchuan asked.
"I’m an only child."
"..."
Princess Yinchuan was even more curious.
What kind of family would kick out an only child?
Shouldn’t he be cherished like a gem?
Su Yang was heartbroken by Princess Yinchuan’s "gem" remark.
If he were considered a gem—
Then he must be a valueless and resilient iron nugget.
