Chapter 675: Proposing marriage
“Father, is that it?” Bai Dabao asked Bai Dazhu who was beside him.
Bai Dazhu nodded his head: “It must be here. I saw Pei Daren and a young man standing and waiting at the gate. Although the capital is large, there is written words at the gate saying Dongfang Family Mansion. So it must be here.”
Bai Dabao was surprised: “Even the dignified Houye has to stand and wait outside at the gate? Who exactly is this Master Dongfang?”
Bai Dazhu shook her head: “How do I know? But listening to Zhenzhu’s words, she said he is Houye’s father-in-law. He is definitely not an ordinary person to be Houye’s father-in-law.”Bai Dabao said: “Then can we afford to offend such person? Why don’t we just go back?”
Bai Dazhu gave him a bad look and said: “What can you do with such courage? Bai Zhi is just working as the little doctor of Dongfang Family. Even if a little doctor suddenly disappeared, the Dongfang Family wouldn’t bother with it. Do you understand?”
Bai Dabao still felt uneasy in his heart. However, he didn’t say another word. He just stayed with his father.
It took half an hour before the little guard opened the gate and invited Pei Qinghan and Prince Xiao to enter.
Pei Qinghan was not bothered by it. He also waited for a long time, so he was prepared for it. Chu Feng had an ugly face. Even when he went to the palace to see the emperor, he had never waited for so long. So how could he not get angry? However, he had to endure it this time.
Dongfang Mu was drinking tea in the front hall. When he saw the two come in, he didn’t get up. He simply said: “You two came at this hour, is there something wrong?”
Pei Qinghan embarrassedly paid respect and said: “Father-in-law, his royal highness and I came at this hour because we really have something to discuss with you.”Dongfang Mu waved his hand: “Sit down. Come, serve them tea.”
When the servant heard Dongfang Mu’s order, he immediately brought the tea that had been prepared.
The two stood outside and blew by the cold wind for a long time. Their noses were red and cold. So at this time, when steaming tea was brought out, they naturally wanted to drink a few sips first.
After taking a sip, the two immediately glanced at each other. Their complexion looked very ugly. They wanted to vomit but they were afraid that it would upset Dongfang Mu, so they swallowed it.
Dongfang Mu secretly laughed, but his face still looked stern. He even said with a cold voice: “Looking at you two’s appearance, do you dislike the tea of our Dongfang Family?”
Pei Qinghan quickly picked up the teacup again and took another sip: “No, no, this tea is very good.”
Chu Feng was also helpless, he also took another sip and said with a dry smile: “This tea tastes very special and it is really good.”
Dongfang Mu sneered inside his heart and secretly said that this tea not only has a special taste but also has special effects.
He smiled and asked: “You two came here together, I don’t know why is that?”
Pei Qinghan took a glance at Chu Feng and signaled him to speak.
Chu Feng put aside the teacup, stood up, and said to Dongfang Mu: “Master Dongfang, I came here today to take the liberty to propose marriage.”
Dongfang Mu raised an eyebrow: “Propose marriage? What are you talking about?” He asked in confusion.
Chu Feng replied: “Master Dongfang, to tell you the truth, a few days ago, when Imperial Mother invited Miss Pei into the palace to chat. It happened that I was also there to pay respect to Imperial Mother, and met Miss Pei in Qingan Palace. Although I only saw Miss Pei for a short moment, she lingers in my mind all the time. I knew she had a marriage arrangement with my fourth brother, so this feeling shouldn’t linger in my heart, but I couldn’t control myself. I went to Houfu to visit Miss Pei and learned that she also has me in her heart. So I mustered up all my courage and came here to propose a marriage.”
