Chu Mengsheng had caused trouble outside. This was the Old Master of the Chu Family!! Chu Yuan Cheng was already waiting in the main hall, ready to punish his precious daughter who always caused trouble for him.
Why was Old Master Chu so well-informed? Chu Mengsheng had just gotten into trouble. She hadn't even returned home yet, but he already knew what she had done outside and what trouble she had caused?
There was no other reason than the fact that the neighbors in the city had always respected Master Chu, and they were also very worried about Miss Chu's crafty and eccentric personality. Therefore, as long as Chu Mengsheng caused any trouble outside, someone would definitely take the initiative to report it to Master Chu.
At this moment, Master Chu was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. He was worried and angry. Madam Chu, who was sitting beside him, also had a worried look on her face.
Just as the couple was about to lose their cool, Chu Rong, the chief steward of the Chu family, rushed into the hall with a strange expression. He bowed and stammered,"Master…Miss was carried back!”
"What?" Old Master Chu and his wife, Yu Wanrong, widened their eyes in shock and shouted at the same time.
"Carried back? Didn't that mean that Sheng 'er was injured? And seriously injured!”Madam Chu stood up in panic, her face pale.
Old Master Chu, who was originally furious, instantly lost all his anger and was replaced by a worried expression.
"Why is it so serious? Quickly invite her in!" Old Master Chu shouted anxiously, not forgetting to instruct,"Send someone to invite a doctor back to take a look at Young Lady.”Although he was angry, his daughter was still a piece of meat in his heart!
"Ah?" Chu Rong was momentarily stunned. It was true that the young lady had been carried back, but there was no need to call a doctor. The master and madam must have thought wrongly. Not only was the young lady completely unharmed, she was also full of energy and strength. She kept cursing endlessly, and her hands and feet were not idle either. It was really hard on the young master who had carried the young lady back.
"Reporting to Master, Young Lady is safe and unharmed.”He quickly explained.
"You're not injured? Then why was he carried back?”Old Master Chu asked in confusion.
Chu Rong really didn't know how to explain. The situation outside really made people laugh. However, he was very impressed by that young master with an extraordinary aura. He was actually able to control the young lady who had always been untouchable.
"Master, please calm down. The person who carried Miss back is the third young master of Luoyang's Zhangsun Clan, Zhangsun Jie. When Master sees him and Miss, the matter will naturally be clear.”Chu Rong continued.
" Third Young Master of the Zhangsun Clan?" Old Master Chu's eyes widened in surprise. He and Minister Zhangsun were old friends, and their friendship was deep. They had even agreed to betroth their daughter to one of his many grandchildren. Two years later, could it be that this Zhangsun Jie was sent by Minister Zhangsun? But how did he meet Meng Sheng?
Old Master Chu was puzzled. He quickly waved his hand and urged,""Quickly invite her in!"
"Yes, sir!" The general manager replied and immediately left the communicator.
Before long, a tall and well-built man was seen carrying a red figure on his shoulder. When he looked closely, he saw that it was Chu Mengsheng, the precious daughter who had troubled the Chu couple.
"Put me down!" Chu Mengsheng shouted angrily, but she no longer dared to move or hit anyone. She had already experienced the feeling of being spanked.
Zhangsun Jie squatted down and put her down.
As soon as Chu Mengsheng regained her freedom, she rushed to her parents 'side and complained with reddened eyes,""Father, mother, this stinky man bullied me so badly. You have to stand up for me!”
As she spoke, she stole a glance at her father with her bright eyes. She was planning to shift the focus so that her father would forget about the trouble she had caused outside.
"Sigh! Miss Chu, you are gravely mistaken.”Liu Zhiqian walked out unhurriedly and cupped his hands towards Master Chu. He continued,""Old Master Chu, your daughter almost died under the hooves of the horses. It was all thanks to my Third Young Master's rescue. The entire incident had been witnessed by the Biao Young Lady and Miss Xiao Que.”
Old Master Chu's face sank when he heard this. He looked up at his daughter and asked,""Is that true? Auntie Chen, who was selling vegetables, came to tell me that you were riding a horse in the market. So it was true!”
Chu Mengsheng lowered her eyes guiltily and mumbled,""That's because…there was a small accident. It wasn't my fault! Besides, this has nothing to do with that big guy bullying me!”She didn't forget to steal a glance at Zhangsun Jie.
"Shut up!" "You've caused trouble and you still dare to argue!" Old Master Chu rebuked angrily.”
Old Master Chu's serious face turned to Lee Xiangjun. He lowered his voice and said gently,""Xiangjun, you've always been sensible and obedient. Tell Uncle what happened clearly.”
Li Xiangjun hesitated for a moment, feeling very troubled. She didn't want to lie to her uncle, but she also didn't want her cousin to be punished because of this. For a moment, she didn't know how to speak.
At this moment, Zhangsun Jie suddenly spoke,"
"Master Chu, actually, this matter cannot be blamed on Miss Chu. For some reason, that horse suddenly started galloping. Fortunately, it was only a scare. Miss Chu was also a little frightened, so it is not appropriate to blame her anymore.”
These words made Old Master Chu nod his head repeatedly, his eyes full of praise. This young man with an extraordinary bearing in front of him was calm and thoughtful, and he had won his favor in a short period of time.
"Young master, are you Old Master Zhangsun's grandson?”Old Master Chu asked with a smile as he walked towards Zhangsun Jie.
Zhangsun Jie bowed respectfully and replied in a clear voice,""I am Zhangsun Jie, the third in the Zhangsun Clan. I have come to visit Master Chu because I want to discuss the business cooperation between our two families in the cloth and embroidery workshops. The other reason is that I have come to propose marriage to Master Chu under Grandpa's orders.”
"Propose marriage?" Mrs. Chu looked at her husband in confusion.
Chu Mengsheng's eyes widened as she looked at Zhangsun Jie in disbelief. He…was actually Grandpa Zhangsun's grandson? How was this possible? Grandpa Zhangsun was so cute and interesting. How could he have such a stern grandson that made people want to yawn?
Moreover, what did he just say? Propose marriage? Who did he want to marry? Her father only gave birth to her daughter. Could he be referring to her? Could it be that he was serious when he said that he wanted to marry her in the inn just now?
Just as everyone was stunned, Old Master Chu was not surprised at all. Instead, he carefully sized up Zhangsun Jie. After a while, he suddenly let out a loud laugh, his face filled with satisfaction and joy.
"Good! Good! Good! That's great!" He praised repeatedly. Zhangsun Jie in front of him had the demeanor and aura of his old days. Minister Zhangsun was indeed his close friend. He had chosen such a good son-in-law who met his standards and was very liked by him. It seemed that the old man had not forgotten the agreement from two years ago.
"Master, what's going on?”Madam Chu finally couldn't help but ask.
Old Master Chu walked to his wife's side and gently patted her hand. He said gently,""Madam, I will explain this matter to you in detail after we return to the room. Now, you only need to know that the grandson of Minister Changsun wants to marry our precious daughter. We no longer have to worry about our daughter not being able to get married.”Old Master Chu was almost crying tears of joy.
Madam Chu looked at Zhangsun Jie in surprise and joy." You…you're really willing to marry our Mengsheng?”Her expression was a little excited, which made Zhangsun Jie and Liu Zhiqian feel strange and funny. Why did the couple's expressions be incredulous when they heard the news that Zhangsun Jie was going to marry Chu Mengsheng? They were so happy that they almost shed tears of gratitude. It was really puzzling.
Master Chu and Madam Chu couldn't be blamed for this. Although their daughter was born with a beautiful face and an unrivaled embroidery skill, she was also extremely strange. Her thoughts were different from those of ordinary young ladies from noble families. She was not restricted by traditional etiquette and customs at all. She always did things her own way and even went against the norms.
Because of this, no man had ever dared to come to propose marriage. In the past year, she had actually fallen in love with Shen Shaoyu, the eldest disciple of the martial arts school. She had even openly pursued him, causing some gossip and making the couple's brains ache.
However, it was naturally inappropriate for Zhangsun Jie to know the inside story. If he scared him away, wouldn't their only hope be lost?
Although he had some doubts in his heart, Zhangsun Jie still replied very politely,"Your daughter is the daughter-in-law that grandfather has chosen for me, so this junior will naturally obey. Moreover, grandfather's judgment should not be bad.”
His words of praise really made Chu Yuan Cheng and his wife feel a little guilty and ashamed. The couple looked at each other uneasily and then laughed dryly at Zhangsun Jie.
"Young Master Zhangsun, to be honest with you, my precious daughter has been spoiled by us since she was young. Other than her good looks and good embroidery skills, she really doesn't have any other merits.”Old Master Chu sighed emotionally.
"Yeah! Our Mengsheng has a lively and outgoing nature, so her behavior is inevitably a little…uh…different from ordinary women. If Young Master really wants to marry her, please be more tolerant and forgiving!”Mrs. Chu continued to speak with slight worry, but she did not dare to say too much.
However, Zhangsun Jie, who had seen the world and had a lot of experience, understood the meaning behind their words. From the accident that happened today, it could be seen that Chu Mengsheng was a naughty, willful and stubborn girl. Her speech and behavior were completely different from the young ladies he was used to. She was independent but self-righteous. She must be a troublemaker.
But he actually agreed to marry her! Zhangsun Jie couldn't understand what was wrong with him. He had decided to make her his wife in such a short period of time. He knew that she didn't fit his ideal wife model, but he still didn't plan to change his mind.
This was really too strange. He had made the most irrational decision in his life, but even so, he knew it clearly in his heart!! He wanted her. Although the reason was unknown, he was very sure.
"Master Chu, Madam Chu, I will never change my mind about marrying your daughter. However, I have a request that you must agree to.”Zhangsun Jie thought for a moment before replying and making a request.
"What request? Just say it!”Old Master Chu said heartily.
Zhangsun Jie's bright black eyes slowly looked at Chu Mengsheng. The corners of his mouth curled into an unfathomable smile as he slowly said,""Miss Chu's behavior is indeed questionable. I hope that before marrying her into the Zhangsun Clan, I can teach her a good lesson. What do you think, Master Chu and Madam Chu?”
When Old Master Chu heard this, not only did he not have any objections, but he was also overjoyed. He was really tired of managing this precious daughter of his and almost lost half his life from anger. Just when he was worried that he could no longer manage her, there was actually someone willing to do it for him. He believed that with Zhangsun Jie's imposing manner, he would definitely be able to subdue this precious daughter who gave him headaches.
"No problem. As a husband, it's only right for you to control your wife. You can stay in the Chu family residence while you're at it!”Old Master Chu happily agreed," My daughter will be relying on Young Master Zhangsun in the future. If there is anything wrong, you can advise and warn me. I will not interfere."”
"Thank you, Master Chu." Zhangsun Jie cupped his hands.
Chu Mengsheng was left to the side and could only listen to Old Master Chu and Zhangsun Jie decide her marriage. She was the main character of their discussion, but they acted as if she didn't exist and made their own decisions. They didn't even think of asking her for her opinion. What did they take her for! How despicable!
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore!
"I'm not marrying!" "I'm not marrying this serious, boring hunk!" she shouted angrily.”She glared at Zhangsun Jie with her big eyes and raised her chin proudly.
Old Master Chu's face darkened and he shouted unhappily,""You have no right to decide! I'll let this matter go. I'll marry you as soon as possible so that you won't cause trouble for me outside all day! Moreover, the Zhangsun Clan is a good in-law that is hard to come by. What are you dissatisfied with?”
Chu Mengsheng pouted unwillingly." I do like Grandpa Zhangsun, but I don't like him and I don't want to be his wife. My daughter already has someone she likes in her heart.”
Master Chu snorted and said in a low voice,""The person you like is Shen Shaoyu, the eldest disciple of Lu Haishan, the master of the Yangwei Martial Arts School. Do you think I don't know? A girl is actually chasing a man. She's really disgracing our Chu family!”
Chu Mengsheng's face turned slightly red, but she was still confident."'A graceful lady is a gentleman's soul'. Why could a man openly pursue the woman he liked, but a woman could not? I didn't do anything shameful.”
"You…you still dare to argue with me!”Old Master Chu shouted in a low voice and pointed his trembling index finger at her. "Do you know how many people are waiting to see you make a fool of yourself? That Shen Shaoyu will be Lu Haishan's son-in-law sooner or later. Why would he choose you? It's impossible for him to like you!”
Chu Mengsheng's eyes reddened when she heard that. She choked and said,""No, Big Brother Shen will never marry his Little Junior Sister. He will like me. I believe that one day, he will be moved by my true feelings.”
"Shut up!" Old Master Chu shouted angrily," In short, from today onwards, you are not allowed to step out of the Chu Manor. You must stay at home and cultivate your character. You must learn the morals and etiquette that a wife should have. This marriage is settled."”
Chu Mengsheng was angry and anxious. She couldn't help but cry. She blamed everything on Zhangsun Jie. At this moment, in her heart, he was no longer her savior, but the bane of her life. He was here to cause trouble. She hated him to death.
Without hesitation, she rushed towards Zhangsun Jie angrily. She raised her fists and punched at his firm chest!!
"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, father wouldn't have forced me to marry you. You despicable person, I hate you!”She shouted as she hammered.
When everyone saw this, they hurriedly went forward to persuade him. Chu Yuan Cheng and his wife were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat. It was hard to guarantee that their daughter's impudent behavior would not offend Zhangsun Jie. Just as the two of them were about to step forward and pull Chu Mengsheng away, they saw Zhangsun Jie shake his head slightly at the crowd, hinting that they should not interfere.
After Chu Mengsheng vented for a while, Zhangsun Jie suddenly raised his sword-like eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. He shouted in a low voice,""Are you done?"
His voice was deep and deep, majestic and powerful, making people involuntarily feel awe and fear, not daring to act rashly.
Chu Mengsheng stopped in her tracks when she heard his shout. Her beautiful eyes were filled with sparkling tears as she stared at him in a daze. She was so shocked by his cold and stern gaze that she could not speak. She had offended a difficult person who she should not have offended.
The imposing man in front of her had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His facial features were deep and powerful. He was not angry but authoritative. It was easy to make people subconsciously obey him. Such a strong man would never fall for her.
For the first time, Chu Mengsheng felt afraid. He was completely different from the men she had interacted with. His desire to dominate her made her inexplicably flustered. Subconsciously, she turned around and wanted to escape from him.
However, Zhangsun Jie's movements were faster than hers. He stretched out his ape arms and easily wrapped her in his arms. He carried her on his shoulders again and then said slowly to Chu Yuancheng and his wife,"Master, Madam, if you don't mind, I would like to start 'training' my future wife.”
Master Chu was stunned for a while before he stuttered,""Uh…please, I'll leave my daughter to Young Master Zhangsun.”
At this moment, Chu Mengsheng, who was carried on his shoulder, recovered from her shock. She panicked and shouted in fear,""Put me down! Put me down!"
Zhangsun Jie continued as if he had not heard anything,"May I know how to get to Miss Chu's boudoir?”
As soon as he said this, Chu Rong and Chu Mengsheng's personal maid, Little Sparrow, who were stunned by the scene just now, finally woke up. The two of them quickly led the way, but they thought at the same time: This time, their Miss had met her nemesis. Finally, someone could cure her. In the future, they would not have to live in fear, nor would they have to deal with the aftermath of the Miss who had caused trouble. They would not even be implicated and punished.
Only Chu Yuancheng and his wife, Liu Zhiqian, Lee Xiangjun, and the others were left in the hall.
" This young master is..." Old Master Chu looked at Liu Zhiqian, who had just spoken, and asked with a smile.
Liu Zhiqian hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying,"I am Liu Zhiqian, and I am assisting Young Master Jie in managing the business of the cloth and embroidery workshops in the Zhangsun Clan. This time, I have specially accompanied Young Master Jie to propose marriage.”
"Oh! So it's Young Master Liu. Sorry for neglecting you." Old Master Chu said warmly and then instructed Lee Xiangjun,""Xiangjun, please take Young Master Liu to the guest room to rest.”
Lee Xiangjun stole a glance at Yoo Zhiqian. Her face turned slightly red and she looked a little shy. She lowered her eyes and nodded gently.
"Young Master Liu, please follow me." Her voice was gentle, and she kept her head down, not daring to look at Liu Zhiqian. Her shy and delicate appearance made Liu Zhiqian's heart flutter, and he was a little dumbfounded.
Immediately, he pulled back his consciousness and reminded himself that he was only accompanying a guest. He had never thought of bringing his wife back along the way. He must not do anything stupid because of a moment of infatuation.
Thinking of this, he quickly came back to his senses and was polite." Please lead the way, Biao Young Lady."”
After the two of them walked away, Mrs. Chu frowned slightly and looked worried." Master, is this okay? That child Mengsheng is very stubborn. I'm afraid she'll cause trouble again. Sigh, it's really worrying.”
Old Master Chu patted his wife's shoulder comfortingly and said gently,""Don't worry. We're doing this for her own good. You know what kind of person Minister Zhangsun is. His grandson must be good. Moreover, you've seen how Zhangsun Jie looks like. I've been in business for many years and have seen countless people. This Third Young Master of the Zhangsun Clan is definitely a good man worth entrusting my life to…"
At this point, he suddenly paused and let out a long sigh before continuing,"We're getting on in years, and we haven't even given birth to a child yet. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to take care of Mengsheng's marriage, who else will be able to help her when our legs kick off one day?
Furthermore, Meng Sheng's personality and thoughts were different from others. Her actions and words were bold. In the entire Yuezhou, who would dare to marry her? Now that the Zhangsun Clan thinks highly of us and wants to become in-laws with us, it just so happens that it has fulfilled one of our concerns. Mengsheng also has a good home to return to. I believe this decision is absolutely correct!”
Mrs. Chu felt a little relieved after hearing this. She nodded and sighed." You're right. I hope their marriage will go smoothly and nothing will go wrong."”
"Don't worry." Old Master Chu reached out and held his wife's slender waist, revealing a very optimistic smile. "I'm very confident in Zhangsun Jie. That child is mature, steady, and has an extraordinary bearing. He'll definitely be able to take care of Mengsheng and take good care of her.”
Zhangsun Jie carried Chu Mengsheng, who was crying out in a delicate voice, and was led to her boudoir by Xiao Que and Chu Rong, the chief steward of the Chu Clan.
"Guye, this is miss's boudoir.”Little Sparrow couldn't wait to call out to her son-in-law and even opened the door for him.
"Young Master Zhangsun, if you need anything, please feel free to tell me. I'll go down and not disturb you and Miss!”Chu Rong snickered as he lowered his head and said. He secretly waved his hand at Xiao Que, hinting for her not to stay in the room.
" Uh…" Little Sparrow immediately understood and quickly put on a smile. She curtsied at Zhangsun Jie and said with a smile,""Little Sparrow is also going down. Young master…you should properly 'communicate' with the young miss!”
After saying that, she quickly covered her mouth and held back her laughter. She followed the butler out of the room.
"Hey! Hey! Little Sparrow, don't go!" Chu Mengsheng saw that only she and Zhangsun Jie were left in the room. She was flustered and afraid. She couldn't care less that she was still hanging on his shoulder. She quickly reached out and shouted.
However, Xiao Que did not seem to hear him. She walked out of the room without looking back and quickly closed the door.
Chu Mengsheng looked at the closed door in despair and closed her eyes in frustration. When she opened her eyes again, her beautiful large eyes were burning with two fire-flutes. She gritted her teeth and was about to curse again when Zhangsun Jie bent down without warning and threw her onto the bed.
In an instant, all her curses were stuck in her throat. The moment her body fell onto the bed, she felt slightly dizzy. She could only fall back weakly, but a pair of iron arms wrapped around her slender waist in time and pulled her towards a thick chest.
She raised her eyes abruptly and her small face met Zhangsun Jie's deep and stern face. Their faces were less than an inch apart, and Chu Mengsheng could clearly see his deep facial features, which were as if they had been carved by a knife or an axe, especially his pair of dark eyes. They were like two deep pools, and also like the cold stars in the middle of the night, making people involuntarily be sucked in. It turned out that he was such a charming man up close.
Realizing that she was staring at him foolishly, she quickly lowered her eyes and cursed herself in her heart. That moment of staring at her made her heart throb strangely.
At this moment, Zhangsun Jie was slightly stunned for a moment. The person in front of him had a stunning face that was enough to make men lose their souls, but he had a mischievous elf and a fiery personality that others did not dare to experience.
Her large, watery eyes were bright and intelligent. Her small, upturned nose matched with her beautifully shaped lips. She was exquisitely beautiful, like an innocent porcelain doll. If it wasn't for the stubbornness and stubbornness in her eyes, he would have thought that she was a sweet, gentle, and gentle little girl.
Chu Mengsheng felt uncomfortable under his stare. She couldn't help but shout,""Hey, big guy, let go of me!"
Hearing her shout, Zhangsun Jie frowned slightly and said in a low voice,""Don't call me 'hey, hey, hey'. It's too rude. I have a name. From today onwards, you can only call me Big Brother Zhangsun or Big Brother Jie.”
Big Brother Zhangsun? Brother Jie? Ew, how disgusting. This person was really thick-skinned to actually make such a request to her!
"Don't be so smug. Don't think that just because my father agreed to your marriage proposal, I'll listen to you and obediently marry you. Let me tell you, there's no way!”Chu Mengsheng turned her head away and arrogantly expressed her feelings.
Zhangsun Jie's face darkened as he stared at her. He then reached out and grabbed her chin, turning her face to face him.
"You have to listen to me! I'm not asking for your permission. This is an order, and you must obey it.”His deep voice was filled with determination.
" You…" Chu Mengsheng couldn't move, so she could only glare at him with her eyes wide open. No one had ever dared to treat her like this before. What right did he have to order her to obey? In her anger, she shouted without thinking,"I won't! I want to call you Hey, big guy, annoying, shameless stinky man…"
"Say it again!" Two sharp lights shot out from his cold black eyes.
Chu Mengsheng's heart trembled slightly, and a faint sense of fear rose. This person's serious appearance was quite scary. She subconsciously shrank back, and then she raised her chin untamely, telling herself not to be frightened by his appearance. She had to let him know that she was not easy to deal with.
"I can say it a hundred times!" She deliberately ignored the uneasiness in her heart and decided to fight him to the end. " I said that you're a boring big guy, an annoying person, a shameless stinky man…"
Before she could say the last word, her small mouth was suddenly blocked by something and she could not make a sound for a long time.
" Uh…um…" She still could not figure out the situation. She only felt a warm and soft pressure on her mouth.
She looked again. Oh my god! Zhangsun Jie's face was almost touching hers, and her gaze slowly moved down!!
Wow! This shameless man actually kissed her on the mouth. This was her first kiss. She had wanted to give it to Brother Shen, but now he had snatched it away! She began to struggle, trying to break free from his kiss. Her small hands pushed his chest…
