The wife of Duke Dingguo said angrily, "Your Highness has never married, so marrying a divorced woman like this, won't that make people criticize you?"

"What's wrong with a divorce? A divorce is not murder or arson. Besides, some people have no grudges against others but can come up with bad ideas to make them have no descendants. People like this are living well. So, what's the problem with me marrying a divorced person? Besides, I never think there is anything wrong with a divorced person. If they take the wrong path, can't they choose again?"

Xie Xingyuan's words were so powerful that the wife of Duke Dingguo was speechless.

Madam Kong said, "That's right. The thing we women fear most in our lives is marrying the wrong person. Normally, if we take the wrong path, we still know to change to another one. When such an important path in life is blocked, what's wrong with choosing another one?"

"That's right!" Madam He glanced at the ladies around her and said loudly, "We all have children. If our daughters meet the wrong man, can't we allow them to divorce?"

It’s not that there were no divorced women in the Great Qi Dynasty, but the price to pay for divorce was too high.

In fact, it is difficult for people who have been divorced to get married again.

Many people who choose to divorce will be lonely for the rest of their lives.

It is precisely because of this that more people, even if their lives are not going as they wish, still choose to swallow their anger and continue to live, and dare not choose the path of divorce at all.

Mrs. He's words resonated with many people.

At this moment, seeing that he had said almost everything he needed to say, Xie Xingyuan turned to look at Cui Shuyan and asked, "Miss Cui, will you marry me?"

Mr. Wen's arms were almost broken, and he said anxiously: "Miss Cui, please agree to it. Otherwise, the prince might want to commit suicide. If he dies, it will be a great loss to our Great Qi!"

You know, Xie Xingyuan used to be a military general, and he still has a great reputation in the border town.

With him around, the surrounding countries did not dare to invade Da Qi.

If he were gone, it would be hard to say.

Zhao Siyue also said immediately: "Yes, Shuyan, just agree to it. Lord Xie has always been a very good person. He offended you accidentally today, and he is not a pervert. If he does not make up for this mistake, he will feel guilty and who knows what will happen next."

Mrs. Jia was anxious and said immediately, "Yes, Doctor Cui, just agree to it! Just think of it as for the people of Da Qi. If anything happens to Prince Xie, we can't afford it!"

After the two of them said this, the topic immediately changed.

Now, everyone was begging Cui Shuyan to agree to Xie Xingyuan's proposal, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

Cui Shuyan was very clear about Xie Xingyuan's intention.

Today, all the prominent ladies and young ladies in the capital have come to the lotus-viewing banquet held at the Jia residence.

These people live a comfortable life and always love to gossip about other people's families when they have nothing to do. However, if what happened today happened under their noses, they would know the true situation and would not exaggerate based on hearsay.

Otherwise, once a rumor arises, this group of people will be the backbone of its spread.

If they were to be appeased, they would think that Cui Shuyan agreed to marry Xie Xingyuan reluctantly. In the future, even if people had doubts about their marriage, they would not gossip about Cui Shuyan.

This is the greatest protection for her.

This is also the reason why Xie Xingyuan chose to perform at today's lotus viewing banquet.

Cui Shuyan understood all of this.

It also made her feel once again that Xie Xingyuan was a really caring person.

This time, he was thinking completely about her.

At this time, Zhao Siyue walked up to Cui Shuyan and said, "Shuyan, the prince is a man of integrity and can be trusted."

At the end of his speech, Zhao Siyue looked at the ladies who were watching.

Many people started to interrupt.

"That's right, the prince's character is beyond reproach. Over the years, the prince has worked diligently and has never had any bad rumors about him."

"That's right. Even the rumor about him being unlucky in marriage was deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives. Speaking of this, Your Majesty is really at a loss."

"Who says it's not true? The prince is already thirty years old. If it were someone else's family, he would have grandchildren soon. But look at the prince, he is so devoted to Da Qi that he hasn't even married yet. Now that we have such a fate, he should get married sooner."

……

Hearing this, Xie Xingyuan almost vomited blood and thought to himself: Madam, if you can't speak, you'd better shut up.

What do you mean he is almost thirty? He is twenty-eight this year, twenty-eight is good!

There are still two full years, more than seven hundred days, away from turning thirty!

Also, what do you mean by "you're about to have a grandchild"? Slander, this is slander!

Unfortunately, he had to put on a show at the moment, so he dared not say a word. He could only hold back his resentment and looked at Mr. Wen angrily: "Look whose wife this is, write it down in your little notebook!"

Mr. Wen was surprised and thought to himself, the prince is very concerned about his age. It seems that the topic of age should never be brought up in front of the prince in the future.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get beaten.

At this moment, many people were speaking well of Xie Xingyuan and encouraging Cui Shuyan to accept Xie Xingyuan's proposal.

Under everyone's eager gaze, Cui Shuyan slowly said, "Okay. I agree to this."

"really?"

"Of course it's serious."

After getting Cui Shuyan's affirmative answer, Xie Xingyuan retracted the leg that he had already put outside.

Well, he doesn’t jump into the lotus pond anymore.

Mr. Wen then let go of Xie Xingyuan's waist. He originally wanted to stand steadily, but unexpectedly, his body slipped and slid down.

There was no other way. I had used up too much energy just now when I was holding the prince. Now I had lost all my strength and couldn't even stand steadily.

At this moment, Xie Xingyuan didn't bother to care about him. He just clasped his fists towards Cui Shuyan and said, "Thank you Miss Cui for your help."

Cui Shuyan bowed slightly and said nothing extra.

Afterwards, Xie Xingyuan stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Miss Cui, I will send someone to propose marriage immediately."

Cui Shuyan lowered her eyes, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks: "My brother is not in the capital now. If you want to propose marriage, please go to the Duke of Zhao's mansion. Oh, I forgot to tell the prince that the Duke of Zhao is my adoptive father."

"Okay, I've made note of it. I'll go back and have people prepare it right away."

"Ah."

Just like that, Xie Xingyuan left first.

As soon as he left, all the ladies were excited and looked at Cui Shuyan with envy.

Of course, there were also many jealous looks.

You know, that is the handsome and handsome Prince Xie!

Many young ladies of marriageable age in the capital are looking forward to marrying him.

Quite a few people came up to Cui Shuyan and greeted her.

After all, she will be Princess Xie from now on.

Xie Xingyuan is a super first-rank prince, so Cui Shuyan will be a super first-rank prince's wife in the future. Who dares to underestimate her!

No matter who came to talk to her, Cui Shuyan responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, and gained a lot of goodwill.

At this time, Zhao Simin came back from looking for her purse. Seeing this scene, she was confused: "Wait, what did I miss?"
