Chapter 674: Questionable attitude

Only a few people knew that the daughter of the Pei family had a marriage contract with Prince Jin. But since Pei Qinghan brought Bai Zhenzhu in the capital, he deliberately spread this matter outside. So today, no one in the capital didn’t know this.

But now, Prince Xiao went to the Pei Family Mansion to propose marriage. Pei Qinghan naturally agreed with this inside his heart, but he couldn’t decide about it.

After all, the marriage between his daughter and Prince Jin was previously set by the emperor and Dongfang Mu. He has no right to speak about it.

Therefore, Pei Qinghan and Prince Xiao entered the palace together.

The emperor looked at the two with a faint expression and said: “This matter is about the Pei Family. It’s inconvenient for me to say more. You can do as you like!”

Seeing the smiles on Pei Qinghan and Chu Feng’s faces, the emperor added: “However, I would like to remind you, that no matter what decision you make, you must take into account the consequences. There are causes and effects in the world. Don’t blame the heavens and others in the future.”

Chu Feng was a little puzzled, what does his imperial father mean to say? It seemed to have a deep meaning. However, he can’t understand it, which made him confused.

Pei Qinghan said to the emperor: “Your majesty, this official made such a decision due to helplessness. Since that day, Prince Xiao and my daughter met in Qingan Palace, my daughter admired his highness. She threatened me that she will not eat nor drink if I will not let her marry Prince Xiao. This official was terrified.”

Pei Qinghan showed a trace of regret and continue to say: “This official is asking his majesty to persuade Prince Jin on his behalf. If Prince Jin wants to blame this official, I have nothing to say, I could only let him blame me.”

The emperor sneered inside his heart but didn’t show it on the surface of his face. He said in a low voice: “You don’t have to worry about this. Do what you wanted to do. No matter what happens later, remember this is your own choice. Okay, that’s it. You may retreat.” After saying those words, he stopped looking at them. He lowered his head and continued reviewing the official reports.

Things went well beyond Pei Qinghan and Chu Feng’s expectations. They thought that the emperor would be furious. The words they prepared in advance were of no use. The emperor didn’t seem to care about whom the daughter of the Pei family was going to marry.

This is too suspicious.

After leaving the palace, Chu Feng and Pei Qinghan rode in the same carriage. Chu Feng asked Pei Qinghan: “Isn’t Imperial Father’s attitude a little suspicious?”

Pei Qinghan replied: “Indeed, it’s suspicious. Maybe he is not willing to say more because of his relationship with Dongfang Mu.”

Chu Feng nodded his head: “Now it depends on Dongfang Mu’s decision.”

Pei Qinghan said: “Dongfang Mu has a weird character, and Prince Jin is his apprentice. It’s normal for him to favor Prince Jin. If anything difficult happened later, his highness has to endure it for a while.”

Chu Feng said: “I know that Dongfang Mu has a sharp tongue but has tofu heart. If you don’t look at his sharp tongue, you will see that he is actually tolerant of the people he likes. Miss Pei is his only granddaughter. As long as Miss Pei’s heart is firm, I don’t think he will say much.”

Pei Qinghan responded with a smile, but he felt worried. Dongfang Mu’s attitude was unpredictable, he doesn’t know what he thinks most of the time.

When their carriage arrived at Dongfang Family Mansion, the little guard stopped them as usual and asked them to wait at the door.

A dignified prince and the marquis of Changyuan Houfu stood outside the gate in an awkward manner. They were left standing under the blowing cold wind.

In the small alley in the Dongfang Family Mansion, a ghostly figure stretched out his neck and retracted it back in a hurry.
