C54 (1/2)

Eunuch Lu stood up and offered her a cup of tea: ”Thank you for the reminder, Waiter.” In his heart, he had already guessed the purpose of the other party's visit.

Everyone sat in the main hall, deep in thought. A burst of hearty laughter came from the door, followed by heavy footsteps. A large hand pushed the curtain to the door open, showing that he was familiar with the place.

”Haha, I heard that eunuch came to the palace, but I didn't expect that I, a boorish man, would catch up.”

”Chen Shou!”

Other than Zuo Ren Xian and Eunuch Lu, the rest greeted him, obviously they were very familiar with him.

The moment Chen Lie entered, he immediately saw the Eunuch Lu sitting in the leader's seat. He pointed at him and laughed: ”Is that him? Heh heh, wood girl, is he making things difficult for you? ”

The moment he entered the door, he asked like this. Eunuch Lu was so shocked that his whole body was covered in cold sweat, it was fortunate that he did not take any action just now.

”Chen Shou Bing, I have always treated the current emperor as my first priority, and the things I do were also ordered by the current emperor, there is absolutely no reason for me to make things difficult for the wood girl.”

Eunuch Lu did not want to be involved in this muddy water, so he tried to clear his mind.

Chen Lie was currently fourteen years old, and was within the selection area. Why did this Eunuch Lu not make things difficult for her?

He touched his beard and said, ”You are a man of your word. I have been ordered to go there by your highness.”

He then shouted out, ”Men, bring this thing in, wood girl, this is what the Prince called me to bring back for you to calm down.”

Someone carried boxes of clothes and silk inside, and Mu Rousang's face immediately became ugly.

Yang Zixuan stood next to her and quietly pinched her little arm, giving her a comforting smile.

He turned his head and said to Chen Lie: ”When you go back, help me thank the Xiangyang King. I'll accept this wedding gift on behalf of Sang'er.”

Dai Sang'er? Chen Lie suddenly had a bad premonition. As expected, when he saw that Yang Zixuan had slightly narrowed his pair of foxeye s, preventing others from prying into his thoughts, he explained gently: ”I originally came to the Mu Family to marry Sang'er after the New Year as per my father's orders. As for this, I just heard about the matter of the selection, so I decided to give the marriage contract as well.”

”wood girl, you are engaged?”

Chen Lie's eyes widened in disbelief. His mother, this girl was fast and straightforward, with Princess Xiangyang's petty personality, the Duke Palace was not suitable for this straightforward girl to stay in front of him.

Mu Rousang was embarrassed by his stare, her face slightly red as she responded with a soft hum. Then, she felt that something was wrong, and she didn't do anything wrong, why did she have a guilty conscience? She raised her head and nodded her head seriously, and said: ”Yes, my brother has already agreed, my uncle and grandmother also think that Zi Xuan's character is good, they are also in favor of it.”

Alright, the Mu Family had a simple population, so they didn't have such a complicated network of relatives. This engagement saved them a lot of trouble, so it was settled.

Eunuch Lu, who was at the side, was silently tasting the tea. He could tell that the things between the few of them were not clear, so he decided to just drink some tea by the side as a wall pillar.

Thinking about it, he still could not sit still and wait for death, he hurriedly stood up and said: wood girl, I have drank the tea, and have dealt with the matters that I should do, that is, the wood girl already has the letter of appointment, I have no reason to force you, I still have to go to other counties, and we will part ways here.

ordered Chun Yi to bring over a red packet and also called Aunt Liu to send it off. The little ghost was hard to deal with, she didn't want the Mu Family to leave a mark in front of the Emperor.

After the Eunuch Lu left, Chen Lie scoffed, ”This eunuch is truly an amazing person. No wonder he could live for so long in the palace.”

”What he did was just to survive. By the way, Chen Shou, it's not the time for the fruits to be harvested yet, why aren't you doing your duty in the Xiangyang? Why did you come to Shu Province?”

Because of Mu Rousang's illness, Mu Jinzhi was treated with contempt in private matters.

Chen Lie reached out to his temples and said: ”wood girl, that's not right, it isn't...”

Chen Lie thought about Su Ruirui's anger at the time and his neck shrunk. What should he do, getting tricked by Yang Zixuan, in the end, was still a little too slow.
