C200 (2/2)

She stood up quickly to say hello.

Eighth Prince waved his hand at her, then said indifferently: ”Fourth Miss doesn't need to be so courteous to me.”

After the Eighth Prince sat down, Lin Shu followed suit and sat down as well. She said softly, ”Today, I came to find you to tell you something. Are you telling the empress that you want to marry me as your wife …”

Even though Eighth Prince's expression wasn't as pretty as before, the gaze he gave Lin Shu was still clear and compassionate, ”I know that this is what you want to ask. You thought of ways to send news to the palace probably just to ask me these questions, right? Yes, that's right, I have indeed told Queen Mother about this. If I did not insist on helping you, this would not have happened to you. ”

Lin Shu said: Eighth Prince is joking, you have also done it out of good intentions, if not for your help, I am afraid that I would not be able to sit here well today, which is unknown.

Saying that, she paused, ”I'm afraid that you feel that you owe me in this matter, but in reality, you do not. Following my reputation, marrying into the National Duke Ning Palace is already considered high, really, you don't have to blame yourself.”

His thoughts were indeed correct, he wanted to marry such a kind-hearted and considerate woman. ”Although Cousin Jing is a very good person, he is not a good match for his as a husband, I remember when we were young, Queen Mother often said that he would cause trouble outside, and if you marry him, then you will have an endless supply of conscience in the future.”

”What's more is that his relationship with his aunt isn't that good, so your days in the future will be even more difficult. Moreover, I've already inquired about what kind of life you have in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and if you suffer any grievances in the future, you won't even have someone to support you …”

It was hard for Eighth Prince to think of such a thing. Normally, he would be an extremely simple person.

”However, everyone has their own destinies. You have your life, and I have mine. Since things have come to this, I should properly plan out how to proceed in the future.” With that, Lin Shu laughed, ”Eighth Prince doesn't need to feel that you owe me, in any case, I still need to thank you.

Eighth Prince's hand that was holding the teacup trembled slightly. ”Then, are you really willing to marry Cousin Jing?”

Lin Shu nodded, she did not know what she meant initially, but now she understood.

The Eighth Prince laughed bitterly, ”But I am not willing to let you marry him. Lin Shu, I want to marry you as my wife.

What song was this again?

Lin Shu was stunned.

The Eighth Prince stared straight at her bright eyes and said softly, ”Do you still remember those days you raised yourself by the empress dowager's side? ”I saw you once before and felt that you were different from the others. All the people in the palace were domineering, feeling like they were born to be superior, but only you, whether it's in front of Esteemed Empress Dowager or when there's no one else, were kind and forever smiling. I remembered you at that time.”

”Waiting for me to come into contact with you a few times later, I realised that you're a very good person …” I don't know when it started, but when Master taught me to read, when we were eating, it seemed like he would think of you every now and then. Did you think that day at Third Prince's Mansion, when Third Sister-in-Law said those words in front of her, I was making up nonsense? It's all true? ”

Lin Shu felt her mind go blank. What's real? What nonsense is this?

Could it be that Eighth Prince had been paying attention to him in secret all that day … What was this song about? She came here today to explain the situation to Eighth Prince, asking him to talk to his first and let her go, he never expected that things would turn out this way.

But Fourth Miss, these are my truthful words, I, I truly want to take you as my wife. I can assure you that in the future, I won't take you in as my Lateral Consort, and I definitely won't let my Queen Mother bully you … Will you marry me? ”

Last night, when he received Lin Shu's letter, he was so happy that he seemed like something.

Originally, he thought that it was just an infatuation. Does Lin Shu sending a letter in mean that Lin Shu had the same thoughts about him … Since that was the case, he couldn't afford to disappoint her.

Lin Shu's mouth moved, but when the words reached her mouth, she did not know what to say. She hesitated for a moment before saying, ”Eighth Prince, I am not willing, before I did not know what you were thinking, and had never had any presumptuous thoughts, but now that I know about it, I still feel that I cannot climb higher, the Empress has treated you like an eyeball, and a few days ago she even sent my big sister and Lateral Consort Zhang to talk about a matter, wanting me to agree to marry you as her Lateral Consort. However, from start to end, I have never thought of marrying into the imperial family. Please forgive me.”

This was all true.

Eighth Prince's hand slipped and the white porcelain teacup fell to the ground. With a ”peng” sound, the porcelain pieces flew to the ground, but he acted as if he did not hear it, ”You, you don't want to?”
