Chapter 480: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 36
After the people from the Dong Mansion left, the old lady also felt that her eldest granddaughter had a tough fate. Her husband died before she even got married! So she asked her to stay in mourning and try not to go out, even forgoing the need to pay respects to her.
Cui Ningning can only stay in her boudoir and mourn for her husband!
The Marquis's mind was also active. If so, would his previous plan work? Cui Xiaoxiao was granted marriage and could not be given away, so Cui Ningning was free, right? Could he give this daughter to the fifth prince as a concubine?
He has doted on this daughter since she was a child. The old lady taught her a lot and she also has feelings for the Marquis's Mansion. Moreover, no matter what she has learned or her figure and appearance, she is better than Cui Xiaoxiao.
A concubine's daughter who is widowed is given to the prince as a concubine. Even if others know about it, they will not say anything.
The more he thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed!
In this way, he will be connected with two princes' palaces. No matter which prince's palace benefits in the future, his marquis' palace will not be too bad!
The Marquis, who had completely forgotten about the Dong Mansion's request for Cui Ningning to observe mourning, secretly went to find the Fifth Prince. It just so happened that the Fifth Prince also had something to tell him, which was to develop Cui Xiaoxiao into his chess piece, a chess piece planted in the Tenth Prince's Palace!
The Marquis did not object after hearing this, and he agreed directly without even asking for the Fifth Prince's promise, and promised that you would definitely accomplish this matter. In his opinion, he is Cui Xiaoxiao's father, and no matter what Cui Xiaoxiao does, she must obey unconditionally!
However, when he mentioned the matter of having a concubine, the Fifth Prince did not agree immediately and just said to wait a little longer!
He has always looked down upon the Le'an Marquis Mansion. In his view, the spy incident was just an idle move, a waste of resources!
Forget about just sending him a daughter! It was fine if it was a legitimate daughter of a marquisate before, but now a concubine's daughter who is a widow is dared to be sent to his mansion. What does he think his mansion is? A rag collector?
I just don’t know what it means!
That night, the tenth prince visited Cui Xiaoxiao's courtyard again!
Cui Xiaoxiao was not surprised at all. She probably thought that it was to tell her about Lu Siyun’s follow-up!
After the teacup was in hand, the Tenth Prince spoke! "Xiaoxiao, you and I are an engaged couple."
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Cui Xiaoxiao didn't follow the Tenth Prince's train of thought. She hadn't cheated on him, had she? Why did she suddenly say this?
"I mean, we will become a family soon. You can trust me and rely on me!" said the Tenth Prince somewhat aggrievedly!
"I don't distrust you!" Cui Xiaoxiao still didn't react.
"Someone wants to harm you, why didn't you tell me? I can help you anyway, right?" His people found out that Zhong Ling had dealt with at least three young women, and they didn't know how many more she hadn't found. Moreover, she was ruthless and her moves were fatal. Those who were hit were either killed or injured, and none of them had a good ending!
When he heard the news, he broke out in a cold sweat. Ji Fanyin was right. It was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. So he was glad that he took action that day. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine that if such a person took action against Cui Xiaoxiao, would he still be able to marry the woman in front of him?
"Oh, you are talking about this? Isn't it too late yet?" Cui Xiaoxiao finally understood what the Tenth Prince meant.
"Really?" Why did he not believe it? He had no idea how strong the woman in front of him was, nor did he know the seriousness of the matter.
"Really, really, otherwise why would I owe you so many favors and still not repay them?"
"That's good! I hope you can understand that you are not alone now, and I have you covered. There is no need to carry all the burdens on yourself." The girl in front of me is good in every way, except that she is too independent!
The Tenth Prince was really afraid that she would be plotted against by someone if she wasn't careful. He was also afraid that she would be wronged outside and bear it alone for fear of troubling him. She didn't tell him anything, which really made him worry.
Oh, it would be better to marry her sooner...
"Yeah, yeah!" Cui Xiaoxiao nodded quickly!
"Your father went to see the Fifth Prince after he got off duty yesterday morning. I guess your father will talk to you in the next few days. You'd better be mentally prepared."
"Are you so anxious? Doesn't my half-sister still have to observe mourning?" It turned out that his health couldn't be too good. As soon as he recovered from the cold, he started to act up!
"You mean to say that your father will give your concubine sister to the fifth prince?"
"This is normal! I, the unfavored legitimate daughter, have been granted marriage and cannot be moved, and the other legitimate daughter is too young. He wanted to send his daughters to seek wealth and fame, but he had no daughters available. Now it just so happens that the concubine's sister is available, which just fulfills his dream, right?" Cui Xiaoxiao shrugged and said.
"What? You don't think highly of fifth brother?" The tenth prince raised his eyebrows and asked!
"It doesn't matter whether I like him or not, I just don't like him physiologically! Who would like someone who looks down on you in every way? I'm not a masochist!" Cui Xiaoxiao really didn't have a good impression of the Fifth Prince. She died in his mansion in her previous life!
"That's right! What a coincidence, I don't like it either!"
"I see!" There is no father and son in the royal family, let alone brothers.
"By the way, Zhong Ling is not dead. She was sent by the Grand Tutor's wife, Lu Siyun's mother, to be a concubine of her nephew from her mother's side! That man likes to abuse women violently!" The Tenth Prince made another big turn!
"Oh, is that so? Then we must be careful! Zhong Ling is a doctor, and we might be killed by someone else." Cui Xiaoxiao really didn't know about this!
"Even if she knows how to treat a disease, she still needs medicine. If she is locked up, she will be useless." Even if she is killed, what does it matter? That person is not a good person anyway.
"Not necessarily. Doctors know that there are many fatal places on the human body. If you are not careful, you will lose your life." The person with a deep hatred still kept the person alive and even dared to send the person to her mother's home. Aren't you afraid of endless troubles? The wife of the Grand Tutor really made a bad move!
"Her daughter was injured and unconscious, and there's a chance she won't wake up forever. The mother, who loves her daughter deeply, wants to cut the culprit into pieces, but she also thinks death is the best option, and that living a life worse than death is the only way to ease the hatred in her heart."
"Your Highness is really charming, and has so many bad romantic partners. The weak and pitiful little women have become his shields!" And each one has a higher status than the other, and each one is more vicious than the other!
"Why are you dragging me into this again? It's all because of their bad character and their parents' poor education that they are so indifferent to life, bullying the weak, and attacking innocent people again and again.
Xiaoxiao, remember, if they provoke you, don't show mercy, just fight back ten times or a hundred times, and put all the problems on me. If you can't fight back, run away, saving yourself is the most important thing, as long as you keep your life, there will be a day to fight back! "The tenth prince said domineeringly!
Cui Xiaoxiao finally saw the Tenth Prince who was completely different from usual. The royal prince's intimidating aura came over her. The majesty and momentum of the superior were undoubtedly revealed at this moment. It was so cool.
She was almost starry-eyed! This scene made Cui Xiaoxiao almost forget that the man in front of her was only seventeen years old. Wouldn't he be even more powerful if he was two years older? She really found a treasure. The tenth prince was good in every aspect.
Cui Xiaoxiao happily stood up and walked over to him, holding his cheeks and kissing them on both sides, before she stepped back and sat back in her seat contentedly.
"Your Highness, you are so kind, thank you!" Cui Xiaoxiao smiled with her eyes curved.
The Tenth Prince, who was taken advantage of by Cui Xiaoxiao, widened his eyes and didn't know how to react for a moment.
His aura was like a balloon with a hole in it, instantly dispelling itself. Then he gently stroked the place where Cui Xiaoxiao had kissed him, and his ears instantly turned red, then slowly spread to his cheeks!
Cui Xiaoxiao was also shocked when she saw this!
Don't princes of this age usually have maids to teach them about human affairs? Why does it seem like he has never touched a woman before?
When the Tenth Prince reacted, he saw Cui Xiaoxiao's expression and instantly understood the admiration and love in her eyes. He also understood the confusion on her face, which made him a little depressed!
I thought she was in love with him and couldn't help kissing him. But it turned out that it wasn't. Her kiss just now was not about the affection between a man and a woman. It was just like a woman seeing a piece of jewelry she liked, which made him happy for nothing.
But things are developing in a positive direction, and she has developed a crush on him. Although the progress is slow, he is willing to wait for her to grow up, and believes that one day, he will see the flowers bloom and the moon shine!
But what was she wondering about? He could guess a little bit! "What are you thinking? I am a prince, and my body can only be seen by the one I like. How can an ordinary maid or servant touch it?"
"So Your Highness has always kept his innocence?" Cui Xiaoxiao asked secretly.
"Of course!" He couldn't understand why his brother lost his virginity so early. He didn't want to give his body to someone he didn't like! If he could talk to anyone, it would be so cheap!
"This is a good habit, Your Highness, please keep it up!" Cui Xiaoxiao smiled.
Although in this ancient time she didn't expect to be alone for the rest of her life, it was better to meet a clean man than to have many concubines in the backyard!
"That, Song Shasha, the daughter of the Minister of Works, you should be more careful about her!" He also secretly investigated what happened that day and found that Song Shasha was involved.
The daughter of a minister is so courageous that she even reached out to the prince's mansion and dared to kill someone at the prince's wedding. Who gave her the courage?
However, this also taught him a lesson. In the future, he must manage his mansion well and prevent such things from happening in his house. How unlucky!
"Yes, I will!" Cui Xiaoxiao was not surprised that this person would find out. After all, the prince's mansion was their territory, and Song Shasha's actions that day were not small. She made a lot of moves. As long as she checked carefully, how could she not find out?
I believe the Sixth Prince has also found some clues!
"If you don't understand anything, you can ask Ji Fanyin. She has a better vision!" After all, he was a man and didn't know much about the affairs between these ladies. If he wanted to know something, he would send people to investigate.
Cui Xiaoxiao also agrees!
The Marquis was discussing the spy with the old lady, and the old lady also suggested that he take this opportunity to repair the relationship between father and daughter. The Marquis didn't understand and didn't want to, thinking that it was natural for a daughter to listen to her father, and not listening was unfilial!
The old lady believed that only if Cui Xiaoxiao developed feelings for the Marquis' Mansion and became dependent on her natal family, she would be able to do her best to benefit the Marquis' Mansion after getting married!
The Marquis disagreed, thinking that she would have no one to rely on except the Marquis' Mansion after she got married! Even the reason why she was granted marriage as the prince's concubine was because she was the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion!
No matter what her feelings were for the Marquis' Mansion, her fate and interests had long been tied together with the Marquis' Mansion, and they could not be separated just because she wanted to!
The old lady sneered. You have to know that she is the prince's concubine, and her status is higher than that of the Marquis's Mansion. Can you suppress her? If she is not seeking profit for the Marquis's Mansion, what can he do to her?
Let him go back and think about it carefully!
The Marquis looked for Cui Xiaoxiao on the third day off after their conversation and asked her to go to his study, saying that he had something to discuss!
It was also Cui Xiaoxiao’s first time stepping into the Marquis’ study!
"Daughter, please pay your respects to your father!"
"Get up!"
The Marquis looked at his daughter, who he had always ignored, and now she had grown into a beautiful lady! He felt mixed emotions, but he spoke without thinking too much!
"The imperial edict has granted her the title of concubine to the Tenth Prince. You have met the Tenth Prince several times. What do you think of him?" The Marquis asked directly!
"The tenth prince is naturally excellent." Are you kidding? How could the emperor's son be bad? Is he setting a trap for her? Fortunately, the Marquis' Mansion is not favored, otherwise, if the emperor's spies or the enemy's family heard about it, what good would the Marquis' Mansion get?
"you……!"
"Father, do you think the Tenth Prince is a bad person?" Cui Xiaoxiao asked directly!
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can a prince be bad? What kind of person is the Tenth Prince, father?"
"Of course he is a very good person! He is good-looking, has a good family background, a good status, a good stature, and treats his daughter well! Knowing that his daughter has no nanny and lacks maids to serve her, he immediately sent a few over." As a parent, have you done anything for her? A relative is worse than an outsider!
The Marquis was almost choked to death by her words, and he didn't know what to say next. Looking at Cui Xiaoxiao's eyes, he suddenly felt that the old lady was right, and they really needed to cultivate feelings between them, otherwise he couldn't say anything with confidence.
But cultivating feelings is not something that can be done overnight. Fortunately, there is still some time before she gets married. I will talk about the spy thing after some time, at least until they are not so unfamiliar with each other.
"Forget it. You also know that the Marquis' Mansion was robbed and your mother's dowry is gone. Later, the Marquis' Mansion suffered another disaster and lost a large sum of money. Now the Marquis' Mansion is in great difficulty! But even so, you should prepare your dowry. After all, you are going to enter the palace. Here are two thousand taels of silver. Take it to buy some dowry first!" The Marquis handed her two silver notes!
Huh? What happened? Weren't they preparing to talk about the spy? Cui Xiaoxiao had prepared a lot of speeches, but this is the end? Not only did they not talk about this, but they also gave her money?
But he didn't think it was too little. Two thousand taels could buy a lot of meals...
"Thanks to my father, your daughter." Cui Xiao took the banknote.
"Okay, then you go down first!" He thought about it again and again, and decided to put the matter on hold for the time being and find a suitable opportunity to bring it up.
