Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Chapter 449 The Su Family Agreed

He had met almost all the scions of prominent families in the city.

He had never seen this young man named Xin Fu before, and he had never even heard of this surname.

Faced with Su Jianshan's blunt question, Fu Ju remained extremely calm and showed no intention of concealing his identity.

He smiled slightly and said loudly, "Mr. Su, you are indeed insightful. To be honest, I am not from Beiyu, but from Chi Kingdom. I was fortunate to receive help from Miss Su earlier. It is really presumptuous of me to visit you today. I hope Mr. Su will forgive me."

You must know that there are countless pairs of eyes in the imperial court right now, eyeing the tempting piece of meat that is the Chi Kingdom.

Su Jianshan never expected that Su Yu would also have a connection with the Chi Kingdom.

At this moment, his gaze toward Fu Zi kept changing, sometimes surprised, sometimes puzzled.

Fu Ju first bowed respectfully to Madam Li and Su Wang, and then gently took Su Xin's soft little hand.

"Xin'er and I have long been in love. I have taken the liberty of visiting you today with a sincere heart, hoping to obtain your permission to marry Xin'er to me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a smile suddenly bloomed on Li's face, but there were a few barely perceptible sobs mixed in with it.

She quickly stepped forward, held Su Xin's hands tightly, and asked with loving kindness, "Xin'er, are you willing?"

After all, for Mrs. Li, what she cared about most was always her daughter's thoughts; no one else mattered.

When Fu Ju publicly proposed, Su Xin blushed deeply. Now, facing her mother's question, her ears turned even redder. Lowering her head, she nodded shyly and softly replied, "Yes, daughter is willing..."

Though her voice was soft, it was filled with endless tenderness and affection.

However, just as everyone was enveloped in this joy, Su Wang suddenly stood up and shouted, "No!"

"Absolutely not! This boy comes from the Kingdom of Chi, which is thousands of miles away from us. If Xin'er suffers any injustice or hardship there in the future, we here will have no way of knowing! Therefore, this marriage must not be agreed to!"

Li raised her hand and slapped his arm, saying, "I believe in him. This child will definitely not let our Xin'er down!"

Since arriving in Yunjing, although Su Xin has never mentioned anything about Fuju, Madam Li knows that her daughter often hides away and stares at the hairpin in a daze.

The sensible Su Xin kept this feeling deep in her heart and never easily revealed it.

As a mother, she would not hinder her daughter's happiness, so she would not object to the marriage.

Fu Zhou said sincerely to Su Wang and Li Shi, "Uncle and Aunt, please rest assured that I have no intention of leaving Beiyu in the short term. As for the marriage, whether it is the three letters and six rites or other etiquette and ceremonies, I will strictly follow the traditional customs of Beiyu. All matters are left to you two elders to decide."

After saying that, he stood respectfully to the side, quietly waiting for the response from the two elders of the Su family.

Su Wang seemed to have something else he wanted to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Shi slapped it back down.

Li glared at him fiercely and hissed in a low voice, "Shut up!"

She gently took Su Xin's hand, walked her aside, and asked seriously, "Xin'er, have you thought it all through?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Xin nodded firmly and solemnly replied, "Yes, I have thought it through, and I don't want to let him down anymore."

Su Xin slowly turned her head, reached out and gently pulled Fu Zhou beside her, her eyes filled with expectation and inquiry: "After we get married, I... I still want to continue living at home, is that okay?"

Her voice was soft and melodious, as if she were afraid that her small request would be refused.

Fu Ju looked at her tenderly, smiled and nodded, and replied softly, "Yes, as long as Xin'er is happy, everything will be as you wish."

His eyes were full of doting and love, which warmed the hearts of those who saw them.

The old lady, seated in a high position, nodded slightly in agreement: "Since the children are willing, then let someone get started on it."

A burst of crisp applause suddenly came from behind.

Everyone turned to look, and saw Su Yu, Xiao Jingqi, and Baili Jiyan walking side by side, while Xiao Lanzhi, who always liked to freeload, also returned with Awan.

Xiao Lanzhi walked quickly to Su Xin with a look of disappointment, staring at her with wide eyes in disbelief, muttering, "You...you just agreed so easily?"

His expression was somewhat dejected, as if he was very dissatisfied with the result.

Su Xin's lips curled up slightly, her eyes narrowed, and she asked in a half-smile, "Does Your Highness perhaps have some advice on this?"

Her tone was slightly provocative, clearly indicating that she didn't take Xiao Lanzhi's reaction to heart.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Lanzhi was taken aback at first, then chuckled dryly twice, shamelessly approached Su Xin, and said in a low voice, "The journey to Chi Kingdom is long and arduous, and it is truly not easy to travel back and forth. Why don't you marry me instead? In this way, you can reunite with your family every day, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp "slap" rang out, and a resounding slap landed squarely on his face.

Xiao Lanzhi was stunned by the sudden slap and stood there, covering his face.

A moment later, he came to his senses, screaming, "Murder! Help!"

He took off running as fast as he could towards the door, his disheveled appearance causing everyone present to burst into laughter.

Xiao Lanzhi frantically hid behind Su Yu, trembling violently, repeatedly muttering, "I was wrong, I was wrong, have mercy, please don't kill me!!!"

His terrified expression suggested he had witnessed something utterly horrific.

Fu Ju walked slowly with steady steps.

He first glanced at Xiao Lanzhi, then turned his gaze to the knife tightly gripped in Su Xin's hand, and said softly, "Didn't Xin'er say she wanted to cook herself? Come on, I'll go with you."

Su Xin's tense nerves relaxed a little. She glared at Xiao Lanzhi, then put down the knife in her hand and followed Fu Zhou to the kitchen.

A series of clanging sounds suddenly came from the kitchen as the two of them busied themselves in tacit agreement, preparing a sumptuous dinner.

Meanwhile, the others in the hall leisurely drank tea, chatting and laughing, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Before long, one delicious dish after another was served on the table. The aroma was irresistible, making everyone's mouths water.

Everyone sat together and began to enjoy the sumptuous dinner.
