Chapter 320: Am I Dreaming? (2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I’m flattered, Mr. Qiao. Now that you’ve made your intentions clear to us, I can finally put my heart at ease. But as you can see, we’re nothing but merchants. Huihui is practically a spoiled girl and no one has ever done her wrong. She doesn’t know anything about the rules and manners of Imperial City. Well…”
Old Mrs. Yuan swallowed her joy and did not directly agree to Qiao Heting’s proposal.
Even if she wanted Yuan Hui to marry into Duke Ding’s residence, she couldn’t make it too obvious.
The last thing she wanted was for Qiao Heting to take Yuan Hui for granted after seeing their urgent need to proceed with the marriage between him and
Yuan Hui.
“Old Mrs. Yuan, please don’t worry. We don’t have a certain set of rules in our place. At most, it’s just to discipline the underlings. Everything else will be taken care of by special stewards. I am seeking to marry Miss Yuan. I am seeking consensual affection and not simply looking for a housekeeper.”
“Mr. Qiao…”
“I understand your concerns, Old Mrs. Yuan. Upon my word, I will devote all my love to Miss Yuan in the future. If I break my promise, let a bolt of lightning strike me…”
“Oh, please don’t say that, Mr. Qiao.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOld Mrs. Yuan hurriedly interrupted Qiao Heting’s words.
Qiao Heting continued with a sincere face, “I admire Miss Yuan not because she’s the daughter of the Yuan clan but because she is the person I’ve been looking for.”
“I know. I must have overreacted. Please don’t take it seriously, Mr. Qiao.”
“I totally understand your concern for your own granddaughter. Given the distance between Guangqing Province and Imperial City, you have every reason to be concerned.”
“That’s very thoughtful of you, Mr. Qiao. But I think I will have to ask Huihui’s opinion on your marriage. We have the final say in this matter, but her opinion should also be valued.”
“I know.”
“You must be worn out from your trip. Why don’t you take a rest for now until you feel more comfortable?”
Old Mrs. Yuan did not care whether it was appropriate or not. Now that Qiao Heting did so much for the Yuan clan, Yuan Hui was definitely going to marry into Duke Ding’s residence.
Inviting Qiao Heting to stay was actually a sign of her attitude.
The Yuan clan would tie the knot with Duke Ding House.
Otherwise, Duke Ding would embarrass himself.
“Sure, I hope that I won’t put you out.” Qiao Heting got up and arched his hand.
“Not all all”
Mrs. Yuan personally went to arrange Qiao Heting’s place of residence.
However, she did not arrange for Qiao Heting to live near Yuan Hui.
Tying the knot was just a marriage. It was not like selling her daughter.
Before Qiao Heting left, he gave Zhao Chuchu a wink.
Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
It was not like they had some unspeakable secret.
But Zhao Chuchu knew that it should have something to do with the Third Prince’s health.
Zhao Chuchu followed.
Qiao Heting said to Mrs. Yuan very frankly, “I’m confused about some illnesses and I need to consult this with Miss Lin. I wonder if now would be convenient?”
Mrs. Yuan believed in Zhao Chuchu’s character and knew that Qiao Heting was only saying it under the pretext that he had something else to tell Zhao Chuchu that he did not want her to know.
“Then, make yourself at home, Mr. Qiao. I will be on my way now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Many thanks, madam.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Mrs. Yuan left the courtyard with the others.
When only Qiao Heting and Zhao Chuchu were left in the courtyard, Qiao Heting was curious. “How did you manage to become a brand-new person without changing too much of your appearance? Now, it’s hard for people to relate you with the original you.”
“It’s a disguise technique. Does Mr. Qiao want to learn it?” Zhao Chuchu asked with a smile.
“Is this true, Miss Lin? I don’t take this as a joke.”
“What do you think?”
“Well, I won’t talk to you about that, or else your husband will lose his temper.” “He went to Imperial City?”
“Even these generous gifts for the marriage proposal were prepared by him first, and I owe him a great favor.”
Qiao Heting did not hide it from Zhao Chuchu. “This husband of yours is unusual. He has a good eye.” “Of course, he is not just like other men out there.” “Okay, okay, I know. You don’t have to keep praising him.”
“Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?” Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows. “If so, then I’ll leave first. Other than that, you are now negotiating a marriage with Huihui. What are we doing here?”
“It’s my fault. I apologize to you.” Qiao Heting bowed. “I’m sorry.”
“Let’s get down to business, but has that gentleman’s condition worsened?”
“No, your unparalleled skill has made him much better now. It’s just that the medicine has almost run out. I’m here to get some more from you.”
Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but think, “The medicine I prescribed at that time was enough to cure him.. How come it ran out?”
