Chapter 189 Wow! You have a brain too!
Three years later
"Little sister, you will be eleven in two months, and it's time to get engaged. Which family do you like? I have a list of all the wealthy families and officials in Yuecheng. Take a look."
Zeng Qianer handed the list in her hand to Shangguan Yue. Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian widened their four big round eyes and looked at Zeng Qianer in disbelief.
Eleven years old, no, not even eleven years old, and you want to get engaged? Your head hasn't even grown yet! The person you're getting engaged to is about the same age, how can you tell if they're suitable? The hair hasn't even grown yet!
The two of them waved their hands and shook their heads at Zeng Qianer.
"Xiaoyue is immature. Second sister, you can't follow her in her nonsense. Girls should be engaged at the age of ten. Now she is eleven years old. After the engagement, you can slowly prepare for the wedding and dowry. You can get married after you reach the age of 15."
"Getting married at the age of 15? No way!"
"Getting married at the age of 15! Not allowed!"
"…What's wrong with you two? You're so united. It's like this in South Vietnam! Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, our eldest princess. You can't make the decision about my marriage because of my identity."
"What is your identity? I am the eldest daughter of the general's mansion. Oh! By the way, you are also the county lady, so you do have to consider more things."
"Big sister, Xiaoyue's identity is not this. Xiaoyue, can you tell our Princess about this? Only you and I know this secret. I have been holding it in for three years, and it is hard not to tell it out."
"What secrets have you been hiding from me for three years? Do you still regard me as your sister? Tell me whether it's good or bad, and we will face it together."
"Okay, then let us tell you. Everything started when you were framed and imprisoned by Princess Changping..."
After Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian asked the maids to leave, they told the whole story about Shangguan Yue's identity as the Holy Lord of Zi Yan Kingdom and how he used this identity to rescue Zeng Qian'er.
Zeng Qian'er cried as she listened. She never expected that her adopted sister, who was not a blood relative in this life, was willing to go to another country and risk her life to save her, but her own husband and children abandoned her.
Now that her status has changed, her old friends no longer dare to act rudely in front of her. However, because Cheng Rui married the only princess of South Vietnam, he still acts superior.
"Xiaoyue, you have been in Nanyue for the past few years. If you don't go back to Ziyan Country, will you be punished? And what about my identity? I thought it was incredible at the time, but now I know that it was your help and it has nothing to do with my mother. Then I feel relieved. I was really afraid that my mother was a real princess, and then I would have to go back to Ziyan Country. I can't bear to leave you."
"Are you reluctant to leave us, or are you reluctant to leave Zhou Huaizhi? He has been waiting for you for three years. It's hard for him to wait from young to old."
"What are you talking about! He is so young, younger than me! Didn't he just wait for three years? What do you mean by young waiting for old?"
"You don't know? Really? Just ask Zhou Huaizhi or Zhou Yang and you'll find out."
Chen Bianbian also looked at Zeng Qianer strangely.
"What should I know? What should I inquire about?"
"Those who are spoiled become unscrupulous and do nothing but wait to be spoiled." Shangguan Yue sighed.
"Hey, what do you know? Tell me now!"
"No, ask Zhou Huaizhi. If you care about him, you will know that I am very disappointed in you. You are a scumbag, even worse than me."
Chen Bianbian confronted Zeng Qianer without any mercy.
"Second sister! Who are you calling a scumbag? Haven't you been spoiled by Shangguan Yan? He trembles when your face changes. How dare you call me a scumbag? Tell me everything you know, or I'll tickle you."
"Hahaha... stop tickling me. If you tickle me any more, the child will jump out of his mouth with laughter."
"Ah? Are you okay? If anything happens to you, Shangguan Yan will kill me. Your belly is so big, you must have two children! The Shangguan family doesn't have a legitimate son yet, and this one looks like a boy."
"It doesn't matter how many children you have, it doesn't matter if they are boys or girls, as long as they are healthy and safe."
"Mom, don't worry! You will give birth to the baby safely. I will have a way when the time comes."
"I know, I trust you, so I'm not worried."
"That's good. I feel relieved now. Tell me what you didn't finish talking about just now."
"Okay, let me tell you. Zhou Huaizhi is actually one year older than you. He said he was younger than you because he thought you would love him more since he was younger. But he regretted saying he was younger than you because when something happened, you felt that he was too young and would not rely on him. Instead, you would take care of him.
In fact, he wanted to take care of you more. Also, when you rescued Cheng Rui, you saved him first. He was the most seriously injured by the people sent by Li Caiju. Several students with him, including Cheng Rui, did not want him to survive.
Because Zhou Huaizhi was a hot candidate for the top prize in the imperial examination that year. If you hadn't arrived and saved him, he would have died long ago. So you are the ray of light that illuminates his life, or the white moonlight in short.
What a passionate handsome brother! He is so handsome, rich, capable, and loyal. There are so few in the world! Compared to him, Cheng Rui is nothing! "
Chen Bianbian talked nonstop once she opened her mouth. She was pregnant with her eldest child now, so she said whatever she wanted to say.
"You said he was the first person I saved? And not Cheng Rui? Why don't I have any impression of that?"
"It is said that it was very chaotic at the time. Among the group of students taking the exam, everyone knew that Zhou Huaizhi was the youngest and had the best ability, which aroused jealousy. Li Caiju happened to want him dead, so the other students also wished for his death.
No one helped, and they didn't even ask for help. The students who brought guards with them didn't let their guards help. You brought a lot of guards, and you looked like a rich lady, so they all wanted to be associated with you.
Cheng Rui is one of them. He is good-looking and looks like a gentleman. He pretends to be injured and is rescued by you. Then you fall for him, fall in love, and chase after him.
If Zhou Huaizhi hadn't been so bloody and half dead at the time, you would have chased him even more madly given his appearance. Hahaha!"
"Li Junlan! You're still talking about this. Aren't you just saying that I have no brains?"
"Oh, you have a brain?"
"You, huh! I didn't expect that... it was all fake. Zhou Huaizhi, why didn't he tell me?"
"Cheng Rui is a poor boy who borrowed money to study. We were all deceived by his appearance. My father used to think he was a good guy! He wanted to marry Li Caiju to him.
Thinking about it now, of course he was willing to marry her at that time, the eldest daughter of the county magistrate! How could he not want to marry her? Who knew that Li Caiju ran away from the marriage? He must have felt uncomfortable, so when I met Li Caiju later, I thought he was very loyal, but in fact he was unwilling to be humiliated by Li Caiju.
And later…"
