Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1624

Zheng Qiaoer also spoke up, with the same meaning: "Chu Yue, you should think clearly about your marriage. No one can stop you, and no one can force you."

Tang Chuyue didn't want to get married at first. It wasn't because the Ming family proposed marriage, but because she was already disheartened.

In other words, she felt that the outside world was very scary and only the Duke of Huguo's Mansion was a pure land.

The eldest sister-in-law treated people well. As long as she didn't do anything naughty, she would not treat her harshly with food, clothing and other expenses. She would also take her with her when she went out to play during festivals.

The nephews at home were sensible. Whenever she bought something for them, they would return the favor and express their gratitude.

Especially Tang Xinghe, who used to go against her, now calls her "little aunt" in a kind way.

The people in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion are now harmonious and no longer the place full of intrigue as before.

Even the maids and servants did not flatter her and did not show any disrespect to her because she had lost power. It must have been because of the eldest sister-in-law's special instructions, even Yu Ma, who disliked her the most, became a little more friendly to her.

But Tang Chuyue also knew that once she got married, she would be far away from her elder brother and sister-in-law, and the little affection they had would fade. After all, there was a blood feud between her and them, the Zhu family.

She was married, so what reason would she have to get close to them in the future? Tang Chuyue had a slight attachment to this family.

But the situation was different now. Her father looked down on the Ming family, and if she said "I won't marry", it would certainly fuel her father's arrogance and embarrass the Ming family.

It was also at this moment that Tang Chuyue suddenly figured out something. The Ming family was her eldest brother's maternal family, and if she married into the Ming family, she would be even closer to her eldest brother and his wife.

Her eyes suddenly brightened, and her voice became clear and high-pitched, "I am willing to marry you."

As soon as these four words came out, the matchmaker's eyebrows danced with joy, "Oh, young lady, you have good taste! This young master of our Ming family is currently studying at Yunqi Academy. He is of good character and appearance, outstanding in talent and learning, and his family background... ahem... is extremely wealthy!"

Upon hearing this, Ming Sijun stood up, took a step forward, and bowed deeply to Tang Chuyue: "Thank you for your kindness, young lady."

Just a moment ago, he thought she would refuse the kiss, but unexpectedly, she agreed.

Two red clouds appeared on Tang Chuyue's face as she returned the salute.

Tang Songlin sat in the main seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He looked up at his daughter, his brows gloomy, and his tone cold and hard: "Chu Yue, have you thought it through? The Ming family is from a merchant family."

Tang Chuyue raised her head, her eyes provocative: "Father, I have thought it through."

Tang Songlin snorted coldly, put down the teacup, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Okay! Okay!"

If we go back two years, Tang Songlin could have easily decided Tang Chuyue's marriage with just one sentence. This was because Zheng Qiaoer would never interfere in anything about Tang Chuyue.

But in the past year or so, they have become much closer, mainly because Tang Chuyue has become much more obedient and well behaved, and her temperament has also become much calmer.

Marriage is a major event in a girl's life. Zheng Qiaoer planned to take charge of it. "I know that my father prefers the youngest son of Lord Liang. Some time ago, the Liang family came to my house to ask for my hand in marriage, but I refused."

Tang Songlin's face was grim. "Why did you refuse? Isn't the Liang family much stronger than the Ming family?"

Zheng Qiaoer pondered, "I won't comment on whether the Liang family is strong or not. Let's just talk about the Liang family's youngest son. He caused such a big scandal in the brothel a while ago. Any powerful and noble family who is not blind would not marry their daughter to him. Not only is the Liang family's youngest son useless, but the Liang family's backyard is also a mess. Is this what father calls strong?"

Tang Chuyue was so frightened that she shook her head decisively, "I would rather die than marry into the Liang family."

Tang Songlin: "......" His face flushed red, and after a long while he blurted out, "If I don't marry the Liang family, I can't marry the Ming family either!"
