Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

"But the Ningguo Mansion has a daughter. If their daughter's reputation is damaged, it is barely understandable for them to make such a request."

Alas, Chen Bo’s reaction was so strong that it seemed that there was no chance of marrying into the Ningguo Mansion.

After she finished speaking, she turned to Zhou and said, "Mother, let's do this. If my brother doesn't agree..."

"We don't want to affect the reputation of this young lady from the Ningguo Mansion. I will go back and ask the Grand Princess of Pingnan and what the Ningguo Mansion has to say."

"The Grand Princess of Pingnan has now understood our intention and is going to the Ningguo Mansion to visit Miss Song Yunyun."

"I don't know what Miss Yunyun said."

Having said that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing her in such a hurry, Zhou quickly stood up and said to Chen Zhining, "Child... why are you leaving in such a hurry? You finally came back to your parents' home, and you left in such a hurry."

"Ah, it's true..."

"Children's debts are really troublesome."

Then she turned to Chen Zhining and said, "Hey, let's have a meal before we go."

Chen Zhining said, "Now it concerns the girl's reputation. If we were to delay it for a while, I'm afraid a lot of gossip would spread in Kyoto."

"So I'd better go back there and ask Miss Yunyun whether she agrees or not."

"I'll come back and have dinner with you, mother, when I'm free."

Having said that, she turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Zhou frowned, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She always felt like something was wrong.

But if you ask her what's wrong, she can't tell you.

Zhou frowned and thought, what was wrong?

First of all, what Chen Bo said just now...seems not quite right.

Zhou simply skipped dinner and just kept thinking about what was wrong.

......

Duke Ning's Mansion.

The Ningguogong Mansion is located in the capital city, with extraordinary atmosphere. The gate is tall and wide, and the plaque above the door lintel reads "Ningguogong Mansion" in four large characters, written in vigorous strokes, exuding endless majesty. In front of the gate stands a pair of huge stone unicorns, which were bestowed by His Majesty.

Entering the mansion, the courtyards are like a maze, one after another. In the courtyards, the ground is paved with blue bricks, and moss occasionally grows in the gaps, adding a bit of ancient charm to this solemn place.

Princess Pingnan attended the Ningguo Mansion in a gorgeous dress, wearing a skirt with gold-woven cloud pattern. The gold threads sparkled like stars in the sun, and the gorgeous cloud pattern seemed to flow on the hem of her skirt as she walked. The neckline and cuffs were trimmed with precious sable fur, making her look more noble and graceful.

She moved with graceful steps and looked extremely dignified and elegant.

Duke Ningguo and his wife were equally hospitable.

The Grand Princess Pingnan was extremely enthusiastic and considerate, and she exchanged pleasantries for a while at first.

Afterwards, Princess Pingnan considered what the Duke of Ningguo and the Lady of Ningguo Palace had said, and then she spoke tentatively to them.

"I don't know... What do you two think about Miss Song Yunyun's marriage?"

"The Duke's wife said before that she wanted to marry her daughter to the Yingwu Marquis's mansion, but Miss Song Yunyun...what do you think?"

"..."

After Duke Ningguo and his wife looked at each other, his wife gave Duke Ningguo a look.

Duke Ningguo coughed twice, then said to Princess Pingnan, "To be honest... we really don't want to marry our daughter to Marquis Yingwu."

"But...ah, but now our Ningguo Duke also has to respect his reputation!"

"Besides! You all know about our daughter falling into the water. This matter is really a bit embarrassing and has far-reaching consequences. Although we are reluctant to marry our daughter to the Yingwu Marquis Mansion, there is nothing we can do now."

"...But none of this matters."

After Duke Ningguo had gone through so much trouble, he changed the subject, stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "I am a very open-minded person. Although my wife thinks so, I don't think so."

Princess Pingnan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "What do you think, Duke?"

Duke Ningguo said, "Oh, it doesn't really matter what I think. What matters is... our own daughter thinks so."

"If our daughter really doesn't want to marry into the Yingwu Marquis's mansion, then we naturally won't marry her to Yingwu Marquis. We can't really ruin our daughter's happiness for the rest of her life just because she fell into the water."

"We have asked our daughter before, and she said...it's all up to her parents."

Duke Ningguo said, with a little regret, "This child... From the beginning we were all ready to fight for her. If she was not willing to marry into the Yingwu Marquis's Mansion, we would give her a good reputation in the capital. But this child has no opinion of her own. There is nothing we can do. Just let us have our say."

"We thought about it and found that Marquis Yingwu is actually a good person. He is good in all aspects. It's just that his family background and age are a little different. It's okay to marry our daughter to Marquis Yingwu."

There was a sense of superiority in the words spoken by the Ningguo Mansion.

But who can blame them for marrying off their daughter? People who marry off their daughters must be a little angry.

But it's also the Duke of Ningguo and his wife who are happy with it.

Duke Ningguo thought Chen Bo was okay. Although not that good, he was acceptable.

Lady Ningguo felt that she had to marry this man, otherwise she wouldn't be able to find a good one.

Princess Pingnan said nothing on the surface. She just smiled at the wife of Duke Ning and the Duke, and said, "Don't worry. If you marry your daughter to the Marquis Yingwu Mansion, then we will certainly not treat the wife of Duke Ning badly."

"After all, the Ningguo Mansion has only had this one daughter for so many years, and they treat her like a pearl. Everyone in Kyoto knows this, so the Yingwu Marquis will naturally not dare to do anything reckless."

"It's just... it's just that now, although it's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, Marquis Yingwu hasn't been close to women for many years. I wonder if he really has this idea."

"I don't know... whether he really wants to marry the daughter of the Duke of Ningguo."

"The daughter of the Duke of Ning is a member of a royal family. If he still wants to remain single... our daughter will suffer if she marries him."
