When Chu Yunfan heard this, he stood there in a daze at first, as if he regretted his impulsiveness for a moment.

However, just a moment later, he suddenly knelt down as if awakened from a dream, kowtowed heavily to Emperor Hongwen, and said in a firm tone: "I have no regrets, I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."

Emperor Hongwen remained silent, staring at the person in front of him expressionlessly.

After a long time, he slightly raised his hand to signal the eunuch beside him, and stepped forward to take the golden medal of immunity from death in Chu Yunfan's hand, which symbolized supreme grace.

At this point, Emperor Hongwen tacitly agreed to Chu Yunfan's request.

From that day on, there were changes in the candidates for the marriage.

The next month after this incident, the Chu and Shen families officially decided on the marriage and agreed to hold the wedding as soon as Chu Yunfan successfully inherited the title of Duke.

Speaking of Miss Shen Yueying from the Shen family, she has never been a person with a gentle temper.

Since the engagement, he has threatened to cancel the engagement more than once, but each time he just said it loudly. He has never taken serious action like today, or even came to my house to make a scene.

It was for this reason that Chu Chuan rushed in a hurry to find his young master in a hurry.

"Uncle Chuan, how many times has this happened? Why are you still not used to it?" Chu Yunfan shook his head helplessly. He didn't take Shen Yueying's decision to break off the engagement seriously at all. He just thought she was using the same old trick again. "In my opinion, she probably has her eyes on some rare item and wants to use it to control me."

What Chu Yunfan said was not without reason.

Master Shen's family was poor, so their living conditions could not be compared with those of a noble family like the Chu family.

Three generations ago, the men in the Chu family were basically people with real power. Unfortunately, the power was passed down from generation to generation. When it came to Chu Yunfan, his parents had passed away when he was less than six years old.

He was raised by his grandmother, but due to her poor health, his grandmother, Old Lady Shen, only lived until Chu Yunfan was fourteen years old before she passed away.

In the huge Chu Dukedom Mansion, Chu Yunfan was the only one left.

He did not have any lofty dreams. After all, he was born in a "rich town" and his elders' expectations of Chu Yunfan were simple. They just wanted him to be safe and happy.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Chu Chuan could answer, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the study.

Chu Yunfan frowned slightly, as if he didn't remember that there was such an rude servant in the Duke's Mansion. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold him, he heard a "bang" and the door was pushed open from the outside to the inside. The door frame even hit the wall directly, making a louder noise.

Frowning and looking up, Chu Yunfan looked at Shen Yueying who was standing against the light.

Squinting slightly, I saw the clothes the other person was wearing today.

The pink top is paired with an ankle-length skirt, and on her feet she wears a pair of "straw sandals" that let you see her toes.

Compared with the luxurious clothes in the past, this short outfit is completely different.

Shen Yueying obviously saw Chu Yunfan's eyes lingering on her feet, but she was not shy at all: "What's wrong? It's summer now, what's wrong with me wearing cooler clothes?

This pair of shoes is not an ordinary straw sandal, it is woven from fine grass, and is comfortable and cool to wear! "

Before Chu Yunfan could say anything, Chu Chuan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Miss Shen, as a lady from a wealthy family, you can't walk around the streets with your toes exposed even in summer! Besides, some time ago, our family sent you ice gauze and soft satin.

They are breathable and can dissipate heat. They are specially made for you to wear embroidered shoes. Aren’t they more comfortable than your ‘straw sandals’?"

Perhaps because she was a little angry and embarrassed, Shen Yueying stopped calling him "Uncle Chu" and said in a cold and hard tone: "Butler Chu, after all, you are just the butler of the Chu family. Aren't you meddling too much?"

Chu Chuan wanted to say something, but Chu Yunfan raised his hand to stop him: "Uncle Chuan, please go out first!"

Seeing the beads of sweat on Shen Yueying's forehead, he sighed and ordered, "Add another ice basin! Bring another bowl of iced sour plum soup from the kitchen."

As she was talking! Shen Yueying took a water bag from the maid Yuqiao who was following behind her: "Fill this up for me, I'll take it away later!"

Although Chu Chuan looked a little unhappy, he did not refuse.

When Chu Chuan walked out of the room and was about to close the door, the maid named Yuqiao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Why do you want to close the door when a man and a woman are alone in broad daylight?"

"You!" Chu Chuan felt that this maid was a little unfamiliar. Just as he was about to teach her a lesson, he heard Chu Yunfan say, "Uncle Chuan, go down and make the arrangements!"

Shen Yueying watched him compromise for her again and again, and her expression became more and more smug. She first glanced at her maid Yuqiao, and then said, "Chu Yunfan, I want to cancel the engagement!"

"Stop it!" Chu Yunfan rubbed his brows helplessly, "We're going to get married in three months, so don't say these unlucky words."

In fact, Chu Yunfan had inherited the position of Duke of Chu last year. Their wedding was supposed to be at the end of last year, but Shen Yueying insisted on dragging it to this year.
