Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 746 - 744

Chapter 746: 744

Princess Consort An became increasingly uneasy as she saw that Shangguan Ruixi remained silent.

"Ruixi, won’t you say something? Your father didn’t mean what he said, right?"

Deny it, please! As long as you deny it, your mother consorts will believe you! Princess Consort An hurriedly pleaded in her heart.

"Well, it’s a long story. I don’t know when I started losing interest in women. I tried to approach a maid, only to find that I had no reaction at all..." Shangguan Ruixi blushed and spun a tale.

In essence, he was saying that he wasn’t attracted to women, only petite males.

Shangguan Ruixi blushed firstly for speaking about his lack of reaction, and secondly for lying.

To marry a wife, he would discard all of his reputation! He, who previously detested lying, was now spouting untruths.

However, his embarrassed demeanor did seem to add credibility to his words.

"How could it be? What about the girl you claimed to have feelings for before?" Princess Consort An looked incredulous, clutching at hope.

"Mother, I lied. The girl only caught my attention because she saved me, and I do not dislike her as much as other women. Remember when I told you I’d talk about it in six months? I wanted to use that half a year to evaluate whether I truly am homosexual! Whether I truly have no interest in females." Shangguan Ruixi took the opportunity to subtly indicate Du Yijin’s presence.

Once his mother was backed into a corner and had run out of options, she would probably consider this girl who her son did not quite so vehemently reject!

"How is it possible!" Princess Consort An shook her head, refusing, and too afraid, to believe after hearing his words.

Her beloved son, having homosexual tendencies! How could she accept it?

No, she must find a way to rekindle her son’s interest in women!

It must be the fault of the inadequately trained maids arranged for him that caused her son to lose interest in women.

Prince An also had difficulty accepting it; his exceptional son was homosexual? The family business depended on him for its continuation!

"How long has this been going on? Who else knows about it?" Prince An asked with a frown.

Every person who knew about this must be eliminated; no such scandal could be leaked out of the Wang Mansion.

"I forgot..." Shangguan Ruixi dared not say too much, for fear of revealing his true intentions.

"Who was the one yesterday?" It was too far away; he couldn’t see the face clearly.

Indeed, he could only recognize Shangguan Ruixi at one glance because the latter was his son.

Shangguan Ruixi was shocked inwardly but dared not show it on his face.

"I don’t know."

"You insolent fool! Without knowing who they were, you had the audacity to kiss them!" Prince An, furious, threw a teacup at him.

Shangguan Ruixi was splashed with tea.

"Your Highness, talk is fine, but no need for violence?" Princess Consort An hurriedly ran over and wiped the tea off Shangguan Ruixi’s face.

"Spare the rod, spoil the child! I ask you..." Prince An then posed several questions, which Shangguan Ruixi carefully answered.

Afterward, Prince An let him leave.

Once he returned to his room, Shangguan Ruixi carefully pondered over his words and his father’s reactions. Only when he thought there were no issues did he feel slightly relieved.

After Shangguan Ruixi left, Prince An turned to his troubled wife and declared, "From tomorrow, arrange more beautiful maids for Ruixi! Also, stop spoiling him. Arrange a marriage for him urgently!"

They must set their wayward son straight!

Princess Consort An nodded with tearful eyes. Her poor son had such an odd predilection.

The next day, Shangguan Ruixi was subjected to an array of beautiful women every day!

All types, from plump to slender, sexy to sweet, were presented to him yet Shangguan Ruixi had zero reaction.

Upon seeing this, Princess Consort An discussed with Prince An whether their son might not like very feminine women, but would prefer more masculine women instead.

Consequently, several women with masculine traits and husky voices entered Shangguan Ruixi’s bedroom which made him almost vomit up his dinner!

Prince An, seeing his son’s lack of reaction, breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t want a daughter-in-law who resembled a man either!

His appetite was also roused, his mouth watering at the prospect of dinner.

Not only that, Princess Consort An started looking for a wife for her son again, this time lowering the standards significantly; as long as the girl came from a respectable family, she didn’t have to be from a noble one.

However, news quickly spread about the Wang Mansion’s frequent search for beautiful maids, followed by rumors about Prince An’s homosexuality.

Many who had been keen on marrying Shangguan Ruixi lost their enthusiasm and started to excuse themselves from the Princess Consort’s doorstep.

Who would want their daughters to go through a fruitless marriage?

This move drove Princess Consort An into a furious frenzy.

Upon hearing the news, Ranhui couldn’t help but laugh bitterly in her heart: What an ingeniously devious plot!

However, she had already given up. The imperial edict prohibiting intermarriage within the royal family was already issued. She’d feel heartbroken, but she wouldn’t dream of marrying Shangguan Ruixi anymore.

Upon hearing this, Xiao’er shot a gaze at Guan Xuanyi. "Did you help him devise this plan?"

Guan Xuanyi: "I just gave him a little reminder."

Great, now Shangguan Ruixi has a ruined reputation!

The perfect match for each other with their two ruined reputations! Xiao’er thought to herself.

News quickly spread about Shangguan Ruixi’s homosexuality. Once the Empress Dowager found out, she severely reprimanded Princess Consort An before starting to ask her questions.

"What is this all about; Shangguan Ruixi being homosexual?"

Princess Consort An didn’t conceal anything; she explained the entire situation very clearly.

"So it is true?" The Empress Dowager was shocked by the revelation.

Princess Consort An nodded and dabbed her tears away.

"What provoked this sudden change? Is it the maids’ fault? Replace them for him."

"We have replaced them, but now he doesn’t want them at all!"

Princess Consort An further elaborated on how families who had shown interest in their son lost interest once the rumors surfaced.

"Those people are too opportunistic; they’re not worthy of my wonderful grandson!" The Empress Dowager was furious, but she had no solutions and held only resentment for the opportunistic individuals.

Then, she thought for a moment and personally selected many beautiful maids, sending them to Wang Mansion to attempt to change Shangguan Ruixi’s mind.

Shangguan Ruixi was feeling miserable. Why didn’t Princess Consort An think of Du Yijin yet? He couldn’t stand it any longer!
