Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter: Not to be Trifled With
Chapter 7 The Lu Family's Proposal for Marriage
Lu Chenyi was incredibly excited after hearing what his father, Lu Chaoqun, and mother, Jiang, said!
"Yan'er is about to become my woman, Lu Chenyi's woman." Lu Chenyi felt a little excited thinking this, but then he thought again: "Yan'er's older sister, Su Yun Chu, is also quite good. She's the legitimate daughter, and especially her maternal grandfather, General Shen. He's a great help to me and the Lu family. I'm really torn!"
A moment later, he cursed himself for being stupid. Why didn't I think of that? Wouldn't it have been better if I had taken both sisters in?
Wow, just thinking about it makes me so excited!
Before long, Lu Chenyi fell asleep.
In his dream, Lu Chenyi seemed to see himself embracing both Su Yunyan and Su Yunchu at the same time, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
However, the laughter startled Hong'er, the maidservant serving outside the room.
Hong'er gently pushed open the door, poked her head in, and asked with concern, "Young Master, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Lu Chenyi woke up with a start, rubbed his eyes, and smiled slightly awkwardly: "It's nothing, just a dream. Hong'er, you can go now!"
After hearing this, Hong'er cautiously replied, "Yes, young master."
Then, Hong'er casually closed the door and turned to leave.
But Lu Chenyi couldn't fall asleep at all, thinking, "How can I win over those two sisters?"
He racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution, and it took him a long time to fall asleep.
The next morning, Lu Chenyi's servant, Shitou, came to wake him up. "Young Master, it's time for you to get up. Master and Madam need to see you."
After quickly washing up, Lu Chenyi went to the main hall.
Lu Chaoqun and Jiang were sitting there leisurely drinking tea.
Upon seeing Lu Chenyi arrive, Lu Chaoqun spoke first: "Yi'er, you're not getting any younger. It's time to think about your marriage. I'd like to ask you to marry a girl from the Su family. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Lu Chenyi said gently, "It's up to Father and Mother to decide."
After hearing this, Lu Chaoqun asked gently, "Which girl in the Su family do you like? Is it the eldest daughter, Su Yunchu, or the second daughter, Su Yunyan?"
After hearing this, Lu Chenyi blushed and said, "To answer my parents' question, I like both Miss Su and Miss Su the Second, and I want to marry them both."
Lu Chaoqun and Jiang were both somewhat surprised after hearing this.
Madam Jiang shook her head and asked, "How can two sisters share one husband? Isn't that inappropriate? Besides, would the Su family agree?"
After listening, Lu Chenyi said logically, "Those two sisters are a great help to our family, especially Su Yun Chu. She has General Shen and the Shen family behind her, which means that our Lu family has two great helpers at the same time: Prime Minister Su and General Shen."
After listening, Lu Chaoqun said thoughtfully, "Yi'er, you are absolutely right! I will go to the Su family to talk about this matter."
Lu Chenyi was secretly delighted. He knew his parents would definitely propose marriage to the Su family. He was confident that with his family's status and wealth, the Su family wouldn't refuse. After all, this marriage would be beneficial to the Su family.
A few days later, Lu Chaoqun, full of confidence, brought his son Lu Chenyi to visit Su Lie at the Su family home.
Su Lie warmly received Lu Chaoqun and his son. After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Chaoqun explained the purpose of their visit.
Upon hearing that Lu Chaoqun wanted both of his daughters to marry Lu Chenyi at the same time, Su Lie frowned.
Then, Su Lie said tactfully, "Brother Lu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate! Although my nephew Lu is gentle and refined and very outstanding, my two good-for-nothing daughters are also my darlings. It would be a real injustice to let the two sisters share one husband. Besides, how could they be worthy of such an outstanding nephew?"
After listening, Lu Chenyi said gently, "Uncle Su, I am serious about the two sisters, Yun Chu and Yun Yan. My heart is as clear as the sun and moon. I will definitely treat them well and not let them suffer any grievances. I hope you will grant my request."
After hearing this, Su Lie said amiably, "Let me think about it some more!"
After hearing this, Lu Chaoqun and his son had no choice but to bid farewell to Su Lie and go home.
After Lu Chaoqun and his son left, Su Lie instructed his servants to call the two sisters, Su Yunchu and Su Yunyan, to him and tell them about the matter.
Su Yun Chu and Su Yun Yan were both shocked after hearing this!
Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan said shyly, "Father, I do. I grew up with Brother Chenyi since childhood, we're childhood sweethearts, and I've long been in love with him. Besides, Brother Chenyi's family is so well-off, it would be a great help to our Su family!"
Upon hearing this, Su Lie shook his head and couldn't help but advise, "This concerns your lifelong happiness; you must not treat it lightly!"
After hearing this, Su Yunyan said, "Father, I have thought it through very carefully! After Brother Chenyi rescued me, I decided on him. Besides, we have already been intimate. In order not to bring shame to the Su family, this is the only way."
Su Yun Chu knew perfectly well what her younger sister, Su Yun Yan, truly thought.
With her abilities, Su Yunyan, where could she find someone more outstanding than Lu Chenyi? She had to seize this rare opportunity, or she would miss it.
So, Su Yun Chu pretended to advise, "Little sister, you should think this through carefully, lest you regret it later!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan's face turned ugly, and she said through gritted teeth, "Sister, I've already thought it through very carefully, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself!"
After hearing this, Su Yun seemed to think it was none of her business and stopped talking.
Su Lie looked up at Su Yun Chu and asked gently, "Chu'er, what are your thoughts?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yun Chu concealed the barely perceptible hint of disdain and replied casually, "Father, I am unwilling. I do not wish to share a husband with my sister. All I desire is a lifelong, monogamous relationship, and Lu Chenyi is not a suitable match for me. Although the Lu family is well-off, our Su family is not lacking either. It is unnecessary for both of us sisters to marry into their family. Besides, if my sister is interested, it would be inappropriate for me, as the elder sister, to steal someone else's love, wouldn't it?"
Just as Su Lie was about to say something, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the door. It turned out to be General Shen and Shen Shi.
Su Lie quickly stood up to greet him, smiling slightly, "Father-in-law, please forgive me for not being there to greet you. May I ask what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, General Shen said sternly, "What Yun Chu said has struck a chord with me. I only have one daughter, Yu Rou, and one granddaughter, Yun Chu. The rest are all brats, and none of them can allow my Yun Chu to suffer any injustice. Otherwise, I won't stand for it!"
Upon hearing this, Su Lie quickly agreed. Su Yun Chu looked up at General Shen and noticed that he was also sizing her up.
Su Yun Chu called softly, "Grandfather, I miss you so much!" Then, she looked at Shen Shi and said, "Uncle, I miss you too!"
General Shen and Shen Shi looked at Su Yun Chu at the same time, revealing gratified smiles. When had Yun Chu ever been so close to them?
A moment later, Shen Shi said to Su Lie in a deep voice, "Brother-in-law, our Shen family only had one precious sister. Now that my poor sister is gone, you can't let her only daughter, Yun Chu, suffer mistreatment after marrying into that family. The Lu family is only after Yun Chu's family and the Shen family behind her; our Shen family can't possibly be worthy of their status!"
After hearing this, Su Lie was about to say something when General Shen spoke first, "Son-in-law, if both Yun Chu and Yun Yan were wronged at the Lu family and came home crying at the same time, whose side would you take? They are both your daughters, and you love them both equally. No matter which daughter you side with, it will hurt the other one's feelings. Besides, there has never been a custom of two sisters marrying the same man. The Lu family is making a bit of a demand on them."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shi's expression darkened, and he said in an unpleasant tone, "What, is the Lu family bullying my Yun Chu girl, or is it bullying my Shen family? Our Shen family will not agree to this marriage, so brother-in-law, just give up on this idea!"
Su Lie's expression turned somewhat grim upon hearing this, but he remained silent.
General Shen said quietly, "Son-in-law, our Shen family will not agree to Yun Chu marrying that boy Lu Chenyi. Since Yun Yan wants to marry, then let's just marry her off."
Upon hearing this, Su Lie immediately had an idea.
He instructed the kitchen to prepare a large table of food to warmly entertain General Shen and Shen Shi.
After General Shen and Shen Shi left, he called the two sisters, Su Yun Chu and Su Yun Yan, to his side and asked, "Have you both thought it through?"
Su Yunyan answered first, "Father, I have thought it through very carefully. I am willing to marry Lu Chenyi."
Su Lie looked at Su Yunyan and sighed, "Fine, this is your own choice." Then he turned to Su Yun Chu and asked, "Chu'er, are you really unwilling?"
Su Yun Chu nodded firmly: "Yes, daughter is unwilling, unwilling to share a husband with another."
Seeing that Su Yun Chu's attitude was so firm, Su Lie did not insist any further. "Since that's the case, then let's drop this matter. Father will find you another suitable husband."
Su Lie sent his steward to the Lu family to inform them of the Su family's decision, and Lu Chaoqun said nothing after hearing it.
