After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

Outside Chaxinzhai, a nanny in a gray coat saluted Zhu Qingan.

"Greetings, Princess! My wife has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in!" The nanny said as she pushed open the door of the Cha Xinzhai box.

Zhu Qing'an nodded and stepped into the box, but the nanny stopped Fu Guang and Wang Shu outside.

Wangshu looked unhappy. Zhu Qing'an, remembering that this person was the Shen family's nanny, nodded slightly and signaled them to wait outside.

"Hello, Aunt Shen!" Zhu Qing'an bowed slightly. The etiquette was just an ordinary one. After all, she was a princess, but Mrs. Shen was her elder, so she bowed to show respect.

When Madam Shen saw Zhu Qing'an, a flash of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she still stood up with a smile on her face. "Princess, please take a seat. I don't know what kind of cakes you like, so I'll ask the waiter to bring some. Please try them and see if you like them!"

Zhu Qing'an glanced at the cakes on the table: Ruyi Cake, Camellia Cake, Eight Treasures Cake, and Yunpian Cake. The cakes were varied and looked exquisite and delicious.

"You're too polite, Auntie!" Zhu Qing'an sat down with Shen's mother.

"I originally wanted to invite your mother over to discuss your marriage with Shi Xin, but I didn't expect that your mother was not at home, so I asked the princess to come!" Mother Shen said with a smile, holding the Ruyi cake and handing it to Zhu Qing'an.

Zhu Qing'an took it with a smile, but he also understood that Shen's mother was deliberately testing him.

After all, Shen's mother witnessed with her own eyes the discord between her and her mother that day. Now she said she wanted to discuss marriage, but she was just an unmarried girl. If Shen's mother really wanted to discuss marriage with her, couldn't she discuss it with her father? In the final analysis, she was just deliberately making things difficult for her.

How could a girl be so shameless as to discuss the details of her marriage, let alone with her future mother-in-law?

Zhu Qing'an also knew that many women found it very difficult to get along with their mothers-in-law after they got married. However, in her previous life, she did not have a mother-in-law and had not experienced those family matters.

Now seeing Shen's mother sitting here safely, she still felt fortunate. After all, in his previous life, Shen Shixin was extremely sad about the death of his parents. He once said that his mother valued him very much.

"The late emperor granted me the marriage, but the date has not been set. My aunt once said that she would personally arrange my wedding!" Zhu Qing'an took a bite of the Ruyi cake.

This is true. Her aunt was afraid that her mother would be confused and disrupt the marriage, so she had mentioned this matter a long time ago, and even her father agreed.

Mother Shen's face twitched. She had not expected that she had wanted to set a trap for Zhu Qing'an, but Zhu Qing'an did not play by the rules and discussed the marriage with the Queen Mother. There was no chance for her Shen family to make the decision.

Mother Shen felt uncomfortable, and she felt more and more that Zhu Qing'an was using the Queen Mother to pressure their Shen family, trying to be superior to them. This was unacceptable.

"The Empress Dowager's love for the princess is truly touching. But now that her daughter is married and her mother is still alive, the Marquis' wife should worry about her daughter. I heard that the Marquis' wife went back to her parents' home? Why is she back at this time?" Mother Shen pretended to be puzzled.

Although there were many different opinions about the matter of Marquis Wen'an's wife returning to her parents' home, many people said that she was angered and left by her daughter, and Shen's mother also listened to that.

"My mother's affairs are not something I, as a daughter, can interfere in. I haven't been back for so many years. I regret that I haven't been able to fulfill my filial duties. I want to go back and fulfill my filial duties!" Zhu Qing'an answered calmly.

If the person sitting in front of her wasn't Shen's mother, she would have lost her temper and would have explained it.

"Oh? So that's how it is!" Mother Shen changed her tone slightly, looking unconvinced.

Zhu Qing'an didn't say anything, just tasted the pastries on the table.

Mother Shen looked at Zhu Qing'an and mentioned what happened a few days ago. "I heard that the princess injured Miss Li and almost disfigured her. Fortunately, my son was kind-hearted and worried that the princess would do something wrong, so he personally went to get some medicine for the wound, which saved Miss Li's appearance!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally sweet pastry in my mouth suddenly became tasteless.

Zhu Qing'an didn't know that Shen Shixin had actually done this. Although she and Shen Shixin had not yet married, they had already been engaged and were considered one.

She beat the man up right after, and then Shen Shixin went to deliver medicine to the man eagerly. This was simply a slap in her face.

Even though she knew in her heart that Shen Shixin's starting point was for her own good, she still felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

"Princess, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but girls should be gentle and sensible, and should never be wary of violence! My son hates domineering women the most!" Mother Shen said with a smile.

She dared to say this because she saw that Princess Yongfu opposite her had feelings for her son.

Zhu Qing'an tightened his grip slightly, and finally suppressed the urge to overturn the table. He told the man over and over again that he was Shen Shixin's mother.

"A person who is being bullied but still shouts about being gentle, must be a fool? Could it be that Mr. Shen likes fools?" Zhu Qing'an said sarcastically.

No matter how much she loves Shen Shixin, she will not give up herself for a man.

Mother Shen looked embarrassed. She was displeased by Zhu Qing'an's words. If Zhu Qing'an was not a princess, she would have scolded her long ago.

"The princess is really good at joking! I invited you here today because I hope that you and my son can get married soon. It's time to hold the engagement banquet! The wedding can be arranged by the Empress Dowager, but as for the engagement banquet..." Mother Shen hinted at something.

Zhu Qing'an wiped her fingers with a handkerchief. It was indeed time for her to settle her marriage with Shen Shixin. She had no intention of marrying anyone else in this life.

Although Zhu Qing'an was uncomfortable with Shen's mother's attitude, she was willing to tolerate it for Shen Shixin.

"I understand what my aunt means. The engagement will naturally be handled by the Wen'an Marquis Mansion and the Shen Mansion!" Zhu Qing'an said with a smile.

When Shen's mother heard this, she immediately felt relieved. She quickly took out a piece of paper from her pocket, which was filled with some details about the engagement.

Zhu Qing'an didn't know until he saw it, and he was so angry that he laughed.

Engagement should include three books and six ceremonies, exchanging the genealogy, passing the written engagement, and performing the grand ceremony.

However, the list written by Shen's mother only contained an engagement letter and a gift letter, not even a welcoming letter, and only three of the six ceremonies. This was simply bullying.

"Auntie, are you kidding me? Your list doesn't say you're going to marry a wife. I think it's more like taking a concubine!" Zhu Qing'an slammed the list on the table. "Could it be that the Shen family can't afford food? There's only so much on the engagement letter, and you still want to marry me!"

Zhu Qing'an could tolerate Shen's mother's minor difficulties, but Shen's mother could be so vague about such a big matter as engagement. This etiquette was simply perfunctory. Not to mention the marriage of her daughter from the Marquis Wen'an Mansion, even the engagement of an ordinary official family would not be so shabby.

Seeing Zhu Qing'an slamming the table, Shen's mother's face turned cold.

"You and my son are in love with each other, so why do we need these vulgar things to decorate it?" said Shen's mother.

"My Wen'an Marquis's dowry is extremely lavish. If your Shen family can't afford to marry me, you can just cancel the engagement!" Zhu Qing'an said, and smiled to herself, "Why don't you hand this list to my father or my aunt and let them take a look!"

"You!" Mother Shen was furious. How could she dare to confront Marquis Wen'an and the Queen Mother seriously? Today, she planned to control Zhu Qing'an first. If Zhu Qing'an agreed, the betrothal gifts would be less in the future.

"I have something else to do, so I won't accompany my aunt!" Zhu Qing'an said as she stood up and left.

Behind him, the nanny exclaimed, "Madam!"

As for whether Shen's mother really fainted, Zhu Qing'an didn't care and didn't even look back.
