Chapter 769: Is She Crazy?

Translator: 549690339

The Ninth Princess of Rouran was stubborn, but she wasn’t confident.

She had seen how Zhuge Fu treated her son. He might be strict with her, but he treated her like his only son.

Zhuge Fu had seen Zhuge Shu’s intense reaction these few days, and he was conflicted.

The Ninth Princess of Rouran couldn’t feel it-how many times had she sneaked into Zhuge Manor and been chased out?

If she had not heard the gossip that this matter was related to Xie Wan’s marriage, the ninth princess of Rouran would not have thought of it even if she turned her head eight million times. What did the man she fancied have to do with his son? What did it have to do with his son’s future wife?

The people of Daliang could be connected to anything.

The Ninth Princess of Rouran was extremely annoyed, but for the sake of her future happiness, what else could she do? If a god stood in his way, he would kill him.

“.. Zhuge Shu is a good man and he is devoted to you. You should marry him. Of course, he is not as good as Zhuge Fu.”She paused for a moment and then said anxiously,”I’m talking nonsense. Do you understand?””

She then looked at Xiao Baoxin with an anxious gaze.

“Understood ” Xiao Baoxin nodded. What he meant was that she was praising Zhuge Shu based on her position as a stepmother, not her previous position as an admirer.

“1 understand,” she said. The Rouran Ninth Princess nodded and walked out. She looked back every three steps, afraid that Xie Wan would change her mind.

“Really, 1 have other intentions towards your sister. You can’t hold it in and marry her.”

In the end, he even muttered softly,”Zhuge Fu must be holding it in because his son can’t marry you.”

Even after sending off the Ninth Princess of Rouran, the two sisters-in-law still hadn’t recovered from that feeling. They felt like they were floating in the air, as if they were dreaming.

“Do you have any other ideas?” This was probably the most subtle question

Xiao Baoxin had ever asked in his life.

She didn’t know how to ask. This matter had happened too suddenly and too strangely. However, on second thought, only the Ninth Princess of Rouran could do such a thing. In the past two years, did she still have a good reputation in Jiankang City?

Xie Wan sighed.

“I won’t hide it from you. I still haven’t come back to my senses.”

“How did this happen? The two of them had nothing to do with each other.

Xiao Baoxin shrugged, not agreeing.

Actually, they could fight together.

After returning to Jiankang, the Ninth Princess chased Zhuge Fu’s son all the way. After Anakui left, Xie Xian said that he entrusted Zhuge Fu to help him find a good marriage.

However, who would have thought that the two of them would end up together?

There was still a connection, but the qualitative change was too fast, so much

so that it caught people off guard.

After the Third Washing Banquet ended, the two of them told Mother Xie and

the other elders about the Ninth Princess of Rouran.

It was no wonder that they were young and inexperienced. Even the elders who were experienced and knowledgeable were shocked.

Xiao Baoxin1 s heart was at peace.

“.. Is Minister Zhuge crazy?” Madam Wang was so shocked that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes widened.

Who didn’t know that Zhuge’s return to Rouran had gained the approval of Rouran and formed a line with Daliang, which played a crucial role in the victory of Xu Prefecture?

Otherwise, if Northern Wu were to make a move and collude with the former governor of Xu Prefecture, Sikong Xiao might not be able to react in time and might cause Northern Wu to go south in one go. At that time, it was unknown whether Daliang could end the war so quickly or whether it would continue to fall into turmoil or even be beaten into pieces by Northern Wu.

Zhuge Fu returned to Daliang and took up the position of Minister of Justice.

His future was limitless.

Isn’t it a good time to be in your thirties?

Who knew that something like this would happen in the middle.

Although everyone was just watching the show, they only treated it as a scandal. At least, the women in the back residence did not expect Zhuge Fu to be so determined to marry Princess Rouran.

“Does he not want a future?”

“You’re a gentleman, but…” Lady Cai added. His future was definitely over, wasn’t it? He had only heard of people marrying princesses, but he had never heard of people marrying princesses in the past.”

“And a minister.” Mother Xie said that she had lived for more than 60 years, and it was not that she had never heard of marrying a foreign princess. However, they were all emperors who had lost their country. They had no choice but to do so because of their illness.

Most of them were princes. When it was the turn of a minister to marry a foreign princess, it had always been a minister without real power, just in case he had connections with a foreign country.

Zhuge Fu was undoubtedly a gentleman, but his future was ruined.

Mrs Yuan’s expression was quite ugly. From her standpoint, she could not say that Zhuge Fu’s choice was wrong, but at least for Xie Wan, it was not a good thing.

“Mother…”

Mother Xie was also troubled.” Why don’t you discuss this with Ah Lang?” After all, he was the current head of this family. Perhaps he had his own decisions. “Also.” She glanced at Xie Wan. At least on the surface, she could not tell what kind of attitude Seventh Madame had. She was a calm person.

“Seventh Madame, think about it yourself. After all, it’s your marriage. If you make a decision, Grandmother will support you.”

Although he said that, everyone could tell that he did not want to continue this marriage.

However, perhaps it was because he considered Xie Xian’s weight in the court and his arrangements, he did not say it out loud.

Xie Xian was someone who recognized his family, so he wouldn’t cheat his sister, so he left everything to him to decide.

Seeing that Mother Xie had expressed her stance, Mrs. Yuan did not say anything else. However, she could not suppress the anger in her chest.

It was even more impossible for Xie Wan to say anything in front of so many people. If she really had any thoughts, she would say them to Mrs. Yuan in private.

Seeing that there was nothing else to say, Mother Xie let everyone disperse.

“I’m really sorry,” said Lady Yuan as she tugged at Lady Cai’s arm.”Because of all these miscellaneous matters, it’s been such a mess that even three banquets have been ruined.”

“Don’t say that, Sister-in-law,” said Madam Cai hurriedly.”None of us wanted this to happen.” I think we should ask Ah Lang for his opinion on this marriage of the Zhuge family.”

The Ninth Princess of Rouran was the reason why this had happened.

Lady Cai was not an unreasonable person. The one who was more unwilling to see such a thing happen was definitely Lady Yuan.

The three-washing banquet was temporary, but the Zhuge family’s scandal might affect Xie Wan’s life.

Madam Yuan sighed and didn’t say anything else. She was in no mood to talk anymore.

It had been at least two or three days since the incident, but the Zhuge family had not taken the initiative to express their stance. This attitude itself made her very dissatisfied.

“When Ah Lang returns to the residence, ask him to come to the Freedom Courtyard.”

Before Xiao Baoxin could speak, Xie Wan said first, “I’ll go with you then.”

Mrs. Yuan looked at Xie Wan and nodded helplessly. “Baoxin, you should come along when the time comes. Everyone has their own opinions.”
