Beiming Ye didn't understand why Nalan Youyou could always feel some unusual hatred from Nalan Youyou's attitude even though she maintained the most ordinary relationship with him. Beiming Ye couldn't figure out why Nalan Youyou hated him so much.
"Youyou, why are you so cruel to me?”Beiming Ye really couldn't figure out what was going on. Now, Beiming Ye looked at Nalan Youyou with a pained expression. If it was in her previous life, Nalan Youyou would definitely feel guilty.
However, she was not the Nalan Youyou of the past." Second Prince, please take back your betrothal gift. It's just that Nalan Youyou doesn't have the fortune."”After saying that, Nalan Youyou stretched out her hand to signal Beiming Ye to leave.
Nalan Peiyi stood at the side and heaved a sigh of relief for Nalan Youyou when she saw how she didn't give the Second Prince any face.
Meanwhile, the old madam looked at Nalan Youyou with a disappointed expression. However, Nalan Peiyi had already said that even her father couldn't decide on Nalan Youyou's marriage, let alone an old woman like her. However, it was a great honor for the Second Prince to come personally to propose marriage. The old madam did not want to let it go.
With a wave of his hand, he called Nalan Jingjing, who was closest to him, over. Nalan Jingjing did not know why the old madam called her, so she obediently walked over.
The old madam whispered a few words into Nalan Jingjing's ear. Nalan Jingjing's eyes widened in anger when she heard that. The old madam actually wanted her to replace Nalan Youyou to marry the Second Prince?! This can't be, this can't be!
"Old Furen, this Second Prince is here to propose marriage to Eldest Sister, not me. How can I snatch Eldest Sister's marriage? This is absolutely not allowed.”Nalan Jingjing shook her head like a wavy drum. She could not let go of this matter at all. Moreover, the Second Prince had promised her that as long as he could marry Nalan Youyou, he would definitely arrange for her to meet the Crown Prince in the future.
If he was engaged to the Second Prince, wouldn't that ruin his future?
"Wife, come here." Seeing that Nalan Jingjing did not agree, the old madam was so angry that she stomped her feet. She did not like any of them.
Zhuang Huaijin did not know what the old madam was planning to do and walked over obediently." What instructions does the old madam have?"”
"Hmph, how would I dare to give any orders? One of my granddaughters is a third-grade female official, and her reputation is even greater than mine. One of her words doesn't listen to me at all.”The old madam was so angry that she kept groaning. Zhuang Huaijin did not understand what was going on, but she could still hear clearly that her granddaughter was a third-grade female official with a higher status than herself. This sentence showed that the old madam was quite dissatisfied with Nalan Youyou's rejection of this marriage.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Huaijin immediately understood that there must be something that she could use.
"Old Madam, don't be angry. Although Youyou is a third-grade female official, she is still your granddaughter. She should naturally listen to what you say.”Zhuang Huaijin smiled fawningly. When the old madam heard this, she felt that it was true.
This time, the old madam felt that she could speak righteously.
"Youyou." The old madam sat high up and looked down at Nalan Youyou with a dignified expression. Nalan Youyou turned around and kowtowed to the old lady.
"Old Furen, do you have any instructions?"
"Youyou, why are you calling me Old Madam? You should call me Grandma.”The old madam had never corrected Nalan Youyou to call her old madam before, but today, Nalan Youyou actually changed her way of calling her grandma. Nalan Youyou's heart skipped a beat and she knew that it was definitely not good.
It was most likely related to the Second Prince's proposal.
The old madam continued," Youyou, you're my granddaughter. Do you really listen to what I say?”
Nalan Youyou looked at the scheming face of the old madam and could not help but sneer. It seemed that her guess was correct. This old madam was here for the matter of the Second Prince's proposal. "Replying to Grandma, Youyou is naturally Old Furen's granddaughter. This family matter is naturally decided by Old Furen. However, if it's her granddaughter's marriage, I'm afraid Old Furen can't make the decision now.”
"What?! Nalan Youyou, how can you say that!" The old madam's face darkened as she picked up the teacup in her hand and threw it on the ground, shattering it into pieces.
Nalan Youyou's body trembled as she looked at the shard under her feet. The coldness in her heart grew even stronger, and her almond-like eyes narrowed slightly.
" Mother, don't be angry. The Second Prince is still here." Nalan Peiyi quickly said.”Hearing the Second Prince's name, the old madam's courage that she had just mustered up instantly sank. She looked at the Second Prince apologetically. The Second Prince did not seem to hear him at all.
If he could take Nalan Youyou into his pocket, then so what if she was unwilling? I don't believe that I can't conquer a weak girl like her with my charm.
Nalan Youyou said to the old madam," Old madam, please don't be angry. I think the second prince should know that I am now a female official of my dynasty. Now, I can make my own decisions about my marriage. Even Old Furen has no right to arrange a marriage for me.”
Nalan Youyou then looked at the Second Prince emotionlessly." Second Prince, am I right?"”Seeing that Nalan Youyou was asking about him, he had to say something.
Only then did the Second Prince say," Youyou is right. However, if Youyou still doesn't want to get married to me, I'm not in a hurry. For Youyou, I'm willing to wait. I'm willing to wait as long as it takes." The Second Prince walked in front of Nalan Youyou and looked at her affectionately, making Nalan Youyou feel disgusted.
Nalan Youyou took half a step back in disgust." In that case, please go back, Second Prince. Take these things with you."”
Nalan Youyou's impolite tone made the Second Prince's expression change again and again. Seeing that the Second Prince seemed unhappy and Nalan Youyou had rejected the offer so thoroughly, the old madam could not care less about anything else. She walked to the Second Prince and said fawningly," Your Highness, the daughters of the Nalan family are all talented and beautiful. My Jingjing is also capable. Why don't you let my Jingjing and the Second Prince be concubines?"”
Moreover, when the Second Prince had just entered the manor, he had paid attention to it. The betrothal gifts that the Second Prince had brought were a total of eighteen boxes. If she could get it, she would be rich. Now that she was rejected by Nalan Youyou, the old lady felt quite uncomfortable when she saw that the duck in her mouth had flown away.
Nalan Jingjing and Zhuang Huaijin were not the only ones who felt that something was wrong after hearing the old madam's words. Nalan Peiyi was also shocked.
She quickly pulled the old madam back and kept bowing." Second Prince, please forgive me. Please don't take my mother's nonsense to heart."”
The Second Prince looked at the old madam's calm expression, but it was filled with disdain. He had long heard of the old madam of the Nalan residence. This person only cared about money and nothing else. Now, it was most likely that she had taken a fancy to the betrothal gifts he had brought over.
However, these things could only be given to Nalan Youyou. The Second Prince looked at Nalan Youyou, who stood in front of him with a calm expression, and an unknown emotion spread in his heart. He did not know why he did not want others to share this person in front of him. He must hold this woman in his arms.
Nalan Youyou didn't even look at the Second Prince. Just a glance made her hate him even more. She didn't want to know what the Second Prince was thinking.
Seeing that Nalan Youyou didn't even look at him, the Second Prince reluctantly walked up to Nalan Youyou. He was as gentle as water." Youyou, don't worry. I'll make sure you marry me willingly."”After saying that, the Second Prince waved his hand and brought his things and people back intact.
"Second Prince, take care." Nalan Youyou and the others sent the Second Prince out on his knees. Nalan Youyou stood up unhurriedly. Nalan Peiyi looked at Nalan Youyou with a complicated expression.
"Father, do you have anything to say? Youyou, listen." Seeing Nalan Peiyi's expression, Nalan Youyou knew that her father wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Before Nalan Peiyi could say anything, the old madam beside her started to shout." Sob, sob, sob! Old man, hurry up and take me away!" No one listens to me now. My son doesn't listen to me. Now, even my granddaughter doesn't listen to me. Old man, how can you be so cruel? You actually left me alone in this world. No one cares about an old thing like me.”
"..." Nalan Youyou was not the only one who was stunned by the old madam's words. Everyone else was stunned as well. They had never expected the old madam to use such a trick.
Nalan Peiyi's face sank when she heard the old madam's words. She looked at the old madam and said helplessly," Mother, when did we not listen to you?"”
"Did you hear that? Say it yourself! A good marriage was rejected just like that! That was the current Second Prince! Nalan Youyou, you unfilial daughter! I don't have such an unfilial granddaughter like you!”The old lady kept crying and wiping the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief. When she saw Nalan Youyou sitting quietly at the side, she pointed at Nalan Youyou and scolded her.
Moreover, the more she scolded, the more unpleasant it became. In the end, even Yuejun could not bear to listen to it anymore. She pouted and complained softly. Nalan Youyou heard Yuejun's voice and immediately stopped her with a look.
After about an hour, the old madam finally stopped cursing. She kept glaring at Nalan Youyou as if she was staring at her father's murderer.
Nalan Youyou pretended not to see it.
Nalan Peiyi's face darkened when she heard the old madam's words, but she couldn't persuade her to listen. The more she listened, the more she felt that the old madam's words made sense. Therefore, she continued to scold Nalan Youyou.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120184:05AM
