Chapter 46 46. A Good Fiancé Falls from the Sky

"There is no Xuqin's cousin? Then, why did that person beg for the son-in-law?" The eldest princess looked at Liu Tingfeng in surprise.

"That's right. The man said that our eldest princess's mansion is in the inner city, and we can't get in normally. That's why he blocked me at the gate of the yamen and begged me to bring it in. It's actually a fake? How dare you deceive the royal family ?" Liu Tingfeng also looked surprised.

"It's deceiving the royal family, and it should be sent directly to the Yamen for punishment." Liu Xinning said along the way.

"This... since that person dared to say it, there must be evidence. Could it be that Chunnuan didn't know that her parents had promised her a marriage? It's better to listen to that person. Otherwise, that person will talk about the future of our eldest princess mansion. It’s not good to overwhelm others. After all, there are censors watching. Especially at the end of the year, those censors want a high-level evaluation, and they definitely want more impeachment.”

Liu Tingfeng saw that Liu Xinning sent him to the yamen without asking any questions, he couldn't sit still, and hurriedly added.

"Since father has spoken, let's ask. Aunt Chun Nuan, you should confront him well. This bluff and deceit has led to the eldest princess's mansion."

After admiring Liu Tingfeng's performance, Liu Xinning said mockingly.

These words fell into the ears of the eldest princess, but Liu Xinning obeyed her father's order.

When Liu Tingfeng heard that Liu Xinning agreed, he hurriedly sent someone to take that person to the main hall in the front yard.

Liu Xinning personally supported the eldest princess, and walked slowly to the door.

Liu Tingfeng, who was walking quickly, had already ordered someone to bring the warm sedan over.

Looking at the eager Liu Tingfeng, Liu Xinning couldn't help but sneer.

When we arrived at the main hall of the front yard, there was already a man waiting in the yard.

Liu Xinning looked around.

The man was of medium height, neither fat nor thin, and his face could not be seen clearly because his head was bowed down.

In the main hall, after the person finished paying his respects, and Liu Tingfeng asked him to look up, Liu Xinning realized that this person was quite good-looking.

A handsome face, a gentle demeanor, and a well-fitting long gown all show that this person is famous.

"I'm Xu Congyu, a native of Linzhou County, Hua Chunnuan's cousin. This year he is twenty-six, and he was a scholar in the 15th year of Qingping. Now I am ordered by my mother to go to Beijing to pick up Hua Chunnuan and return to my hometown to get married. Please allow me."

That Xu Congyu bowed politely and said in a good manner.

"You are a scholar, so you are going to participate in Qiu Wei next year?"

After listening to Xu Congyu's words, Princess Changle nodded in satisfaction when she saw that he should be.

Not bad!
He is famous at a young age.If you win the Juren next year, even if you can't win the Jinshi in the next year, you can still choose officials.

If Chun Nuan marries this person, she is expected to become an official wife in the future.Even if she didn't know about the engagement in the past, she would definitely be willing now.

Obviously, most of the people in the hall thought so, and they all set their sights on Chun Nuan at this time.

The fame of a scholar is recorded in the yamen.Therefore, Xu Congyu probably wouldn't tell such lies in the princess mansion.

This man is handsome and personable, he has achieved fame at a young age, and has a bright future in the future.

Liu Xinning didn't expect Liu Tingfeng to find such a good person, wondering if Chun Nuan would be tempted?

Thinking like this, Liu Xinning also turned her attention to Chun Nuan.

"I'm from Linshui County, and I'm not with you. And I don't know you, nor have I heard that I have a fiancé. So, I won't go back with you." Chun Nuan immediately refused.

"Although Linshan County and Linshui County are not in the same place and separated by hundreds of miles, they both belong to Linzhou County. It's normal that you don't know me." Xu Congyu was not angry, and explained politely : "My mother and your mother are distant cousins. Later, my mother married far away in Linshan County, and our two families did not have much contact. However, when I went back to my hometown to visit relatives, my mother and my aunt got married. At that time, you and I were both young, so the elders never mentioned it."

Hearing this, Chunnuan couldn't help thinking back.

It seems that there is such a distant married cousin, but she has no way of verifying whether it is Xu Congyu's mother.

"You said we have a marriage contract, do you have any evidence?" Chun Nuan continued to ask.

"Of course there is such a certificate. Because we are young, my mother only exchanged the marriage certificate with my aunt, saying that we will wait until you are old enough to perform the etiquette. But I didn't expect that your aunt and uncle passed away one after another, and you entered the marriage again." I was serving in the palace, so I was delayed." Xu Congyu said warmly.

After speaking, he took out a piece of yellowed paper from his arms.

Chunnuan took it over and looked at it carefully.

In the marriage certificate, her parents' names and her birthday were all correct.

She hesitated momentarily.

Nanny Li found out that Liu Tingfeng was going to bring someone to redeem her body, so they subconsciously thought that he was a very bad person.

However, with such a good-sounding husband-in-law candidate, it seems that there is no need to lie to her?

After all, even if she is a good citizen, she is also a good citizen who used to be a court lady, there is nothing worth cheating.

So, is this marriage contract real?
Seeing Chun Nuan's hesitant look, everyone had different thoughts.

Princess Changle was happy, Liu Tingfeng was secretly proud, and Liu Xinning frowned.

"It's been a long time, and my mother never talked about it, so I'm sorry that the little girl can't obey. I am the princess's man, so I should serve the princess."

But after hesitating for a moment, Chun Nuan made a firm decision.

As soon as her words fell, Liu Tingfeng froze slightly, and Xu Congyu's gaze quickly passed Liu Tingfeng.

Liu Xinning, who has been paying attention to them, has a panoramic view of their mood.

"Princess, please understand my heart of waiting for many years, and my mother will keep her promise and return home with flowers and spring warmth."

Xu Congyu saw Chunnuan's firm expression, as if he had made up his mind, but he went to talk to Liu Xinning instead.

"What are you talking about? I've said it all, I stayed here voluntarily. What does it have to do with the Princess?"

Chunnuan was in a hurry, she didn't expect to implicate Liu Xinning.

"Cousin, don't be afraid. There is a saying in the Daqing law that those who serve in the army can return to their hometown after the expiration of their term. After you return to your hometown, you will be a good citizen. Now, you have 'somehow' signed a deed of prostitution and become a lowly citizen...but The princess is a kind person, and he will not prevent you from leaving."

Then Xu Congyu emphasized the four words "I don't know why", which is full of Chunnuan not being a good citizen but becoming a lowly citizen, which must be the reason why he was threatened.

Chunnuan was angry and hated, repeatedly expressing that he was willing to be a slave and had nothing to do with the princess.

But Xu Congyu comforted her by talking to himself.

Liu Xinning's expression darkened upon hearing Xu Congyu's words.

Originally, it should be fine for her to stay with Chunnuan.

However, the eldest princess has always been famous for her reputation.In this case, Liu Tingfeng will definitely add oil and vinegar.

Therefore, if she really said to keep Chunnuan, the eldest princess might be the first to refuse.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Congyu finished speaking, Liu Tingfeng said with a concerned face: "Ning'er, don't be arrogant. Even if you are the princess, you still have the censor watching. If you are bullied by the censor and forced to be a slave Fame, I'm afraid it won't do you any good. You'll be able to reach the age of next year..."

Liu Tingfeng repeated the old tune, but the eldest princess couldn't help listening to it.She frowned, and wanted to send someone to leave.

Looking at the princess's expression, Chun Nuan and Nanny Li, who was standing beside the princess, looked pale, and didn't know how to stop it.

"This marriage letter, can I have a look?"

Liu Xinning looked at the instigated eldest princess blankly, she was a little clueless for a while, she just wanted to procrastinate for a while, to allow time for thinking.

"Of course..."

Before Xu Congyu finished speaking, Chun Nuan quickly handed the marriage letter to Liu Xinning.

She watched eagerly, only hoping that Liu Xinning would come up with a solution.
