Chapter 816: Chapter 817: I Don’t Have Ti… Chapter 816: Chapter 817: I Don’t Have Ti… Gong Jue Chen felt disheartened inside but demanded quite a show of support on the surface, “Hmm, impressive~”
ng Zhuqing and ng Lanqing still had an old mother at ho, naly Old Lady ng.
Old Lady ng burst into joyful tears the mont she saw ng Zhuqing and ng Lanqing return.
When she learned that ng Lanqing had actually taken a wife, Old Lady ng first glanced at Gong Juese and then, lowering her voice, asked ng Lanqing, “Lanqing, did Prince Yi allow you to marry? You cannot make your own decisions, you know. Our Nine Clans were all saved by Prince Yi. Do you rember what your father said about serving Prince Yi as slaves? Don’t you know that? You must not do anything against Prince Yi’s orders. You have to be loyal to him, obey his every command, understand?”
ng Lanqing quickly reassured her, “Mother, don’t worry, if the Lord and Lady hadn’t implicitly agreed, how could I have taken a wife?”
Old Lady ng was then reassured and quickly prepared a red envelope for Gong Juese.
Gong Jue Chen listened to Old Lady ng’s earlier words and while he showed nothing on his face, he understood in his heart. No wonder ng Lanqing and ng Zhuqing were so loyal to Xiao Changyi. It all made sense now.
“Mother, this is Se Se’s brother, Gong Jue Chen,” ng Lanqing introduced.
When Old Lady ng first saw her two sons return ho, she was too overjoyed to notice Gong Jue Chen; later, when ng Lanqing introduced her to Gong Juese, she again failed to pay attention to Gong Jue Chen; but now that she noticed him, she imdiately exclaid in shock, “Han…”
After uttering one word, she imdiately stopped herself.
Han?
Gong Jue Chen sneered inwardly but feigned confusion on his exterior, furrowing his brow, “Why is Old Lady ng so surprised to see ? Have you t before?”
After regaining her composure, Old Lady ng shook her head and said, “I have not t you before, today is the first ti. I just feel you look a bit familiar, perhaps it’s because you have a kind-looking face.”
Though she said this, Old Lady ng’s thoughts and sighs revealed a different sentint: He truly resembles Consort Han.
If Consort Han’s children had not died, they would probably be about the sa age as this brother and sister before .
Before Gong Jue Chen could speak, Gong Juese laughed heartily, “My brother, kind-looking? Ha, Mother, don’t be fooled by his handso face. Although he’s a doctor, he’s not at all kind. Many have sought his help, and he’s let them die without aid, saving only those who are good-looking.”
Old Lady ng: “…”
Gong Jue Chen also said, “Se Se is right. I indeed do not save those who are not good-looking; Old Lady ng, I am truly not kind. It’s just my appearance that is pleasing, tsk tsk~”
Old Lady ng: “…”
ng Lanqing hurriedly said, “Mother, Se Se and her brother used to live on the mountain, they don’t understand any etiquettes, nor do they have any upbringing, please don’t mind them.”
ng Zhuqing suddenly interjected, “Even if you mind, they’re not going to change.”
Old Lady ng: “…”
ng Lanqing: “…”
Old Lady ng composed herself with so effort and then cleared her throat, changing the subject, “Zhuqing, your brother is already married. Shouldn’t you think about it too? I didn’t dare to bring up this matter to you boys before, fearing Prince Yi would not agree. But now that Prince Yi and the Princess have given permission for you to marry, we should start considering your marital prospects. Tomorrow, I’ll look around to see if there’s a suitable girl. If you find her agreeable, you should marry her, right?”
When he heard that he should take a wife, the image of Wild Goose Jade’s breathtakingly beautiful and serene visage flashed through ng Zhuqing’s mind. Knowing he might never see her again, ng Zhuqing imdiately refused as soon as Old Lady ng finished speaking, “Mother, don’t trouble yourself, I have neither the inclination for that kind of fuss nor the ti.”
