I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

Cheng Yu said calmly, "The prince came to visit me suddenly and said some strange things to me. I was about to ask you something, but you said I didn't need to ask any more questions and then you left. What do you think this place is? Is it an inn? You can come and go as you please?"

"What? You didn't find a woman that suits your taste, so you're here to have sex with her again?"

"I'm telling you, no way. I said I won't marry the prince, and I won't marry him. Even if you put a knife on my neck today, I won't marry him."

"Do you think that just because you feel wronged, I won't feel wronged? You came forward to provoke me for no reason, and before I could ask you a few questions, you suddenly told me to let me go. When I finally let you go, you came to provoke me again. Zhao Shiyan, don't go too far. The worst that can happen is death..."

As Cheng Yu spoke, his eyes turned red.

Zhao Shiyan saw her tears with red eyes, and then hugged her in his arms.

"It's my fault. I was angry that day, and the emperor asked me to go to the border to deal with those things. You didn't give me a clear answer, so I thought you just wanted to keep me hanging and didn't want to really marry me."

"You have me in your heart, too. You care about the prince of the Jing Palace, but that's just my identity. Shouldn't you look at my true heart?"

Cheng Yu snorted, "What's your true intention? Look, I want it. If you don't give it to me, I'll be angry. If I'm angry, I won't come."

"I can't see through your true intentions."

Although being scolded by her, Zhao Shiyan was happy in his heart.

He held the person in his arms and laughed, "Blame me, it's all my fault."

"But are you happy to say it? If not, I will listen to you all my life and let you say it to your heart's content."

After they were quiet, Cheng Yu said to him, "You always think that if you like me and love me, you can solve many problems, but after we get married, I can only handle things by myself. I can't count on you, and I can't count on you. You are the prince, and you have to make great achievements and serve the country. Tell me, how should we deal with the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future..."

"Are you worried about this?"

"Why can't we worry?" Cheng Yu asked.

After thinking about it, Zhao Shiyan whispered to Cheng Yu, "If you are worried about not being able to handle the relationship with my stepmother and father, I will think of a way. When my mother was alive, she had a dowry house on the same street as the palace. The mansion is not smaller than the palace. When you marry me, we will move there."

"I have long wanted to move out of Prince Jing's mansion. With my ability, I can start my own business. I have not relied on my father for anything over the years."

"It's just that Lan Niang is still in the palace, otherwise, I would have moved out long ago."

Cheng Yu looked up at Zhao Shiyan, "Have you thought about this a long time ago?"

"It seems that you didn't open the box I gave you that day. Inside was my private money and the title deed to the house."

Cheng Yu really didn't open it.

Since she did not agree to marry Zhao Shiyan, she did not touch those things and just put them away. She originally planned to return the things to Zhao Shiyan when she saw him again.

"Just in time for you to come, I'll give it back to you."

"This is a gift from me, keep it well. Cheng Yu, I married you just because I like you, not for any other reason."

Cheng Yu deliberately said, "The prince is of such a noble status that he may marry me now because he likes me, and he may marry another woman next time because he likes me."

"We can get married. You need to write me a document. If you meet a woman you like in the future, you need to give me a divorce letter and half of your property. If we have children, I want to take them all away. You cannot have any objections."

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Shiyan did not respond.

She wondered if she was asking for too much.

Then he added, "Forget it, I don't want the family property anymore. Just give me three thousand taels of silver."

Zhao Shiyan, "Three thousand taels is not too much. How about this, if I fall in love with another woman in the future, I will give you all my property and the child, and I will leave the house with nothing."

"Are you serious?" Cheng Yu stared in astonishment, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Cheng Yu wanted these things because he wanted to restrain Zhao Shiyan.

If it really comes to that, she wants to leave Zhao Shiyan safely. She doesn't want to be the prince's captive.

"Why would I lie to you? I'll write the document tomorrow and show it to you. If you don't believe me, I can write it now and you can take it to the government office and find someone to testify for the record."

Look, what he said is true.

"Yu'er, do you have any other concerns? If so, please tell me now. Be good to me from now on. We won't be in love like you said. If you agree, I will find someone to make the deal with you. We will be engaged as an engaged couple first. Only then will I feel relieved."

Cheng Yu nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

She thought about it and decided that since they were going to get married in the end, why not choose a capable father for her child.

***

Zhao Shiyan's betrothal gift to Cheng Yu hasn't arrived yet, but Zhao Rulan has.

Cheng Yu was working in the pastry shop that day, and he was thinking whether he should go to the palace to tell Zhao Rulan about her relationship with Zhao Shiyan.

But if you think about it carefully, if Zhao Shiyan is meticulous in his work, he should be the one to say it.

When she was extremely conflicted, Zhao Rulan came.

"I have met the young lady."

Seeing Cheng Yu bow slightly, Zhao Rulan immediately stepped forward and held her arm, "No need to be so polite, I came here today because my brother asked me to."

"Big girl, I..."

Zhao Rulan chuckled and said, "You don't have to say anything. From now on, just tell others that you and I are close friends. There's no need to say anything else."

"My brother came back yesterday and told me with a happy face that he wanted to arrange a marriage, and he came to me specifically because he wanted me to come forward and let you know that I support you two being together."

"Why should he say that? I saw you resisting his approach and didn't dare to say anything before, so I helped you reject him."

"I'm very happy that you're marrying my brother. It will be much more convenient for me to eat the food you cook in the future."

Cheng Yu was still thinking that Zhao Rulan would be unhappy.

Unexpectedly, she came to her in person today to say these words of comfort to her.

"My dear girl, I really don't know what to say when you say that."

"Then don't say anything. A few days ago, Miss Yang came to my house in person and told me about your good deeds."

Zhao Rulan comforted Cheng Yu.

"I'll choose a good day in a few days to get you engaged. As for my father, he can't make the decision for my brother. Yu'er, you don't know that my brother went to the emperor to ask for a marriage for you, but I don't know if it will work. No matter what, my brother is really going to marry you."

Cheng Yu really didn't know that Zhao Shiyan would ask the emperor to grant the marriage in order to marry her.

"Let's not talk about this. I came here today to tell you to relax and not to worry about anything. Just do what you need to do. I want to see the cakes you made today."
