Chapter 69: I Dare to Marry the Sixth Miss

Lu Yanyan pouted, "I don’t see any problem with myself, brother. Yet, you are helping Chu Nanli, who has embarrassed you in the palace."

"I am not helping her, I am just being fair," Lu Zheng said.

"Today happens to be the birthday of the Sixth Miss. Don’t cause any trouble."

Lu Yanyan agreed with her mouth, but inside, she couldn’t help but smile.

Since it’s someone’s birthday, how can there not be some excitement?

Just as she thought that, a man suddenly rushed out and tried to grab Nanli’s sleeve.

Chu Yang, who was closest, quickly reacted and pushed the man away.

"Who are you? How dare you be so rude!"

The man almost fell to the ground, but was helped up by a woman. Chu Hanlin and his wife, along with a few brothers, heard the commotion and gathered around.

Lu Yanyan’s eyes lit up, and she pulled Lu Zheng over.

"Brother, let’s go and watch the show."

The man, feeling displeased, opened his mouth and said, "I’m pulling my own wife. What’s wrong with that?"

This statement caused an uproar.

The Sixth Miss of the Anyang Marquis Mansion has just come of age, so how could she already have a husband? Nanli looked over and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Wasn’t this the foster mother, Aunt Xu, and her son, Xu Yuan, who had adopted her before?

Today was her coming-of-age banquet, and only those with invitations could enter. These two came to the capital without making any noise and happened to enter the Anyang Marquis Mansion today. There must be someone influential guiding them.

Chu Shuo had gone to investigate his sister’s whereabouts and had personally given this mother and son some money, so he naturally recognized them.

He clenched his fists and angrily said, "What wife? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Aunt Xu smiled and casually said, "When I adopted this little girl, I intended for her to be my son’s wife. The two of them have already gone through the wedding ceremony and slept together. Why can’t my son call her his wife?"

Xu Yuan, full of pride, also said, "That’s right, now that she has returned to her roots and become wealthy, how can she not recognize me as her husband? Lord Chu, I have brought the betrothal gifts today. Let’s quickly finish the marriage and get married."

Chu Hanlin’s face darkened, wishing he could drive them away with a stick.

But there were many guests present, and they all heard these words.

If this matter wasn’t clarified, how could his daughter live in the capital in the future?

"Madam Xu, you didn’t say this to me before," Chu Shuo said angrily.

"You only said that you treated my sister as your daughter, but you never mentioned that she became your daughter-in-law!"

Aunt Xu, now wealthy, naturally denied it.

"I never said that. You just wanted Nanli and tried to kick us away with a little money. Anyway, my son and Nanli have gone through the wedding ceremony. You have to recognize this marriage!"

Xu Yuan looked at the exquisitely dressed Nanli, his eyes shining.

He swallowed his saliva and also shouted, "That’s right, we have already gone through the wedding ceremony in the village!"

The guests looked at each other.

Regardless of the situation, no one in the capital dared to propose marriage to Chu Nanli anymore.

Madam Shen, furious, said, "Such slanderous words! We will not let this matter rest!"

Nanli quickly supported Madam Shen and comforted her, "Mother, leave it to me."

Fortunately, the old dowager didn’t come out to join the banquet, otherwise, her health would have been affected.

Madam Shen’s face turned pale.

She blamed herself for letting her daughter end up in such a family.

Nanli approached expressionlessly and gave an order, "Take them away."

Immediately, guards came forward and restrained Madam Xu and her son.

Nanli took out two talismans and stuck them on their bodies, saying, "Since you want to speak, I will let you speak. Aunt Xu, during the ten years I lived in your house, where did I sleep?"

"You..." Madam Xu wanted to say that she slept with her son, but her words changed at the last moment.

"You slept in the pigsty, on the ground."

"Did I ever marry your son?"

"You used to be a freeloader, how could you be qualified to marry my son!" Xu said her true thoughts.

"It’s only now that you are a young lady of a marquis’s mansion that you are worthy of my son."

Nanli raised an eyebrow and asked Xu Yuan, "Who sent you here?"

Xu Yuan had already understood that these talismans were meant to make them tell the truth. H

e clenched his mouth, trying not to speak.

But as an ordinary person, he simply didn’t have enough self-control and opened his mouth, "I... I don’t know. Someone just approached us and gave us the invitation."

At this point, everyone was whispering to each other.

They didn’t expect that this mother and son were acting on someone else’s orders.

Chu Nanli has endured a decade of exile, sleeping in pigsties and on the ground, a bitter existence indeed.

Little did she expect that this mother and son would stoop so low as to tarnish Chu Nanli’s reputation.

The couple, Chu Hanlin and his wife, as well as their brothers, were all on the verge of tears if not for the presence of guests.

They knew their daughter and sister had suffered, but they were unaware of the extent, that she had been reduced to sleeping in pigsties!

At this moment, Lu Yanyan refused to accept the situation and shouted, "You must have employed some sorcery to make them speak in your favor. It is simply unbelievable."

Chu Nanli raised an eyebrow at her and replied, "I used a true incantation. Would you care to try it?"

Lu Yanyan was not foolish enough to fall for that and snorted, "Regardless, after living in their household for ten years, even if you slept in pigsties or on the ground, it is still a dubious situation. It would be better to seal the deal today and have the two of you betrothed."

This statement garnered agreement from many of the guests, with several nodding incessantly.

Chu Ye furrowed his brow and asked, "Miss Lu, what kind of upbringing have you received?"

Chu Shuo stood with his hands on his hips and exclaimed, "Exactly! Do you consider yourself a member of the Chu family? How dare you prattle on like this."

Chu Huan scolded, "Miss Lu, your words are truly an insult to civility!"

Chu Yang angrily retorted, "Who my sixth sister marries is none of your business!"

Chu Yan’s face darkened as he said, "Could it be that Miss Lu is the one who sent them the invitations?"

As she listened to her brothers defending her one by one, Chu Nanli’s heart warmed. Lu Yanyan remained undeterred and raised her chin, saying, "It’s not just me saying this, many people think the same. Chu Nanli, even if you and Xu Yuan are innocent, you spent ten years living in a rural family after getting lost as a child. Now that you’ve returned to the capital, you dare to dream of marrying a good husband? Who would dare to marry you?"

"I would dare," a group of people approached from behind.

It was Qing Feng supporting Ye Siheng towards them.

Ye Siheng wore a wide robe and a black gown, exuding an air of nobility, his eyes as cold as ice.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, he repeated once again, "I would dare to marry her. What’s the matter? Does anyone have something to say?"

The crowd was shocked.

Even the Chu family members looked at Ye Siheng in astonishment.

Chu Nanli, on the other hand, thought to herself that what kind of elixir she should concoct to express her gratitude to him.

Lu Yanyan bit her lip and said, "Ninth Prince, even if you... but as a person of high status, there is no need for you to marry Chu Nanli !"

After all, Ye Siheng still possessed a handsome appearance and held immense power in the court!
