Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Without waiting for the man to speak, the old lady took the lead in looking at Su An, covering her lips and laughing at him without any hesitation.

"What a joke! If that evil enchantress had an ordinary appearance like you, the King of Zhenbei would definitely not even glance at her, so how could he possibly fancy her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.

Only Su An's family looked at them as if they were fools.

Anyway, she has explained everything that needs to be explained. Whether they believe it or not is their business and has nothing to do with her.

Su An didn't take this matter to heart.

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to her work, she heard a commotion in the crowd.

Then, a man in a luxurious black robe appeared in front of her.

Su An raised his eyes slightly and met a pair of deep eyes.

Everyone looked serious, knelt on the ground, and said in unison.

"I kowtow to the King of Zhenbei!"

The court has not yet granted permission to hold the coronation ceremony, so it is not reasonable to call him Your Majesty at this time, so the people all call him by his original official title.

Hearing this, Fu Zhun frowned slightly and raised his hand to wave his sleeves.

"Everyone, get up! I'm here today for a private matter, so there's no need to be so reserved."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Su An, grabbed her wrist, and spoke in a low voice with a hint of urgency.

"Su An, let's elope! The court is full of old stubborn people. It's impossible to reason with them. If I have to sacrifice my own happiness to become the emperor of Da Chu, then I would rather not have the throne."

"I promise that I will only have you by my side and will never take a concubine. Are you willing to retire to the countryside with me and live a carefree life?"

After hearing this, the lady next to her almost dropped her jaw in shock and her eyes widened.

The King of Zhenbei actually let Su An elope with him. Doesn't Su An know that she is the evil witch they are talking about?

Just now she said that Prince Zhenbei looked down on Su An and wanted to introduce a marriage to Su An. Now she is so embarrassed!

The old lady raised her hand, slapped her mouth twice, lowered her head, turned around, and fled away.

Not to mention the aunt, even Su An himself was shocked.

After hearing this, she quickly looked around, then covered Fu Zhun's mouth in panic, immediately pulled him into the room, and spoke in a low voice.

"There are so many people watching, what nonsense are you talking about?"

But Fu Zhun looked serious and explained with a frown.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I've thought this through carefully. Now that the Northern Hu have been pacified and the border is stable, Great Chu no longer has any worries. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not."

"I have been entrusted by the late emperor to protect this country for half my life. The rest of my life should be left to myself."

As he spoke, a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes, and he stared straight at Su An.

"Didn't you tell me you like freedom? I'm willing to give up everything I have now to live the life you want with you. When you get tired of it, we can retreat to the mountains together and forget about worldly affairs."

This beautiful vision made Su An's heart soften.

The Prince of Zhenbei is devoted to the people and is impartial, so she has always believed that in Fu Zhun's heart, the country and the people must be more important than her. She didn't expect that now he would be willing to give up the throne of Prince of Zhenbei, and even the throne of Emperor, for her.

If any man in the world were faced with this choice, I'm afraid few would be able to resist the temptation.

Perhaps because of shock, or perhaps because of hesitation, Su An was a little stunned for a moment, standing there in a daze, not knowing how to react.

Fu Zhun stared at her nervously, as if waiting for her answer.

Without waiting for Su An's response, Li Guihua came out from the side and said with a smile on her face: "I think this is feasible."

After all, Fu Zhun was willing to risk his life to save Su An.

Moreover, the reason why their family can still be reunited happily today is also due to Fu Zhun's love for them and his care for them.

If this is not love, then what is true love in this world?

Su An had met bad people before, and now she finally found someone who loved and protected her wholeheartedly. Li Guihua naturally didn't want her to miss it easily again.

Su An then turned around to follow the sound.

The moment she saw Li Guihua, her face flushed red, and she quickly turned her head away and asked casually.

"Mom, why are you here?"

I don’t know how much of what was said just now she heard.

Wouldn't it be so embarrassing if she heard all these corny and sour words?

Seeing Su An's reaction, how could Li Guihua not understand?

She chuckled and shook her head, and advised helplessly:

"I heard everything. If that scoundrel hadn't delayed you, you wouldn't be so unmarried at this age, being ridiculed by the people in the city. Now you've finally met someone who truly loves you. I'm happy for you."

As she spoke, Li Guihua looked up at Fu Zhun and continued.

"Over the past few days, I have seen the prince's love and care for you. It is true. Now we have hands and feet, and we can live well on our own. You don't have to worry too much about us. Go and live the life you want. No matter what decision you make, I support you."

At this point, Su An's eyes were already wet.

She curled her lips, her eyes red, and thanked Li Guihua.

"Thank you, mother!"

She was not the original owner Su An, but took over the original owner's body by chance. Although Li Guihua was honest and kind, she was not a fool. After being together for so long, she must have noticed her differences.

But she didn't mind, instead she treated herself as her own daughter.

She will never forget this kindness no matter what.

Seeing that Su An had taken these words to heart, Li Guihua felt a little sore in her nose. Afraid that she would burst into tears, she quickly blinked her eyes, said something hurriedly, and turned away.

"In that case, you two should discuss it properly!"

Only the two of them were left standing there.

Su An turned around and stared at Fu Zhun for a moment, feeling a conflict between his conscience and his desires.

Time passed bit by bit, and Fu Zhun had never felt that time was so difficult to endure as it was at this moment.

Just when he was daydreaming, Su An suddenly raised his eyebrows, his eyes curved into crescent shapes, he leaned forward slightly, and agreed readily.

"Well, after all, you've saved me from danger time and time again. Now that you've given up your high position for me, I naturally can't be stingy. So, I'll give you one chance."

Fu Zhun didn't take the arrogant tone to heart, and the word "good" was circling in his mind.

A hint of joy rose to his brows, and there was a visibly brighter light in his eyes.

"You really agreed?"

"If you don't believe me, just think I'm joking."

Su An pretended to be angry and turned to leave.
