The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

After Dongfang Shuo returned to Prince Cheng's Palace, he lay down. Even though his father had given him medicine and asked the imperial physician to check on him, he still felt a burning pain.

He did not sleep well that night. He finally made it to dawn, and his personal bodyguard Yu Liang hurried in.

"Your Highness, the people from the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion said that General Chu was in a hurry to go to the northern border, and he was afraid that he would not be there when the Northern Zhou soldiers attacked. Therefore, they asked you to come to the house as soon as possible to apologize and compensate Miss Heyi. General Chu said that he would not be relieved until he saw Your Highness come to the house in person."

Dongfang Shuo almost gritted his teeth. Rushing to the northern border was just an excuse. The real purpose of their Chu family was to torture him and make him go out with injuries.

Dongfang Shuo's brows were gloomy. "Tell them that I am seriously injured and cannot get out of bed. I will come to you when I am better!"

Yu Liang should be.

Dongfang Shuo continued to recover from his injuries.

However, in less than a day, rumors about him had spread throughout Shengjing City.

Yu Lianglai told him, "Your Highness, people outside are saying that you threatened to cancel the engagement two days ago, but you still haven't come to the Chu family to apologize. You don't take the Chu family seriously at all! Some even say that your so-called apology is just talk and not from the heart."

Dongfang Shuo's face was extremely ugly.

These words must have been spread by the Chu family. How dare they be so presumptuous!

But now that everyone outside knows about it, he has no choice but to face up to the matter.

Although he had military merits, they were obtained as a deputy general. Compared with the Chu family, they were not worth mentioning at all.

As the party at fault for breaking off the engagement, he hurt the Chu family, which had guarded the area and had many descendants who died for the country. If such rumors were spread outside, wouldn't the people's curses against him be like a flood?

No!

In the future he was going to ascend to the supreme position and he would never allow his reputation to be damaged!

"Yu Liang, prepare the sedan chair, and invite Uncle Ruian to go to the Chu family with me!" Dongfang Shuo said in a deep voice. He narrowed his eyes. The Chu family forced him again and again!

Dongfang Shuo called the imperial physician again, who gave him pain-relieving medicine and changed him into clean clothes.

He couldn't sit in the sedan at all and could only lie down.

But when he arrived at the gate of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, he had to get off the sedan chair, endure the slight numbness and pain, and walk into the gate of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion with Prince Rui'an.

The whole process was so painful that Dongfang Shuo never wanted to experience it again in his life. However, thinking of Chu Heyi's ugly face, he had to endure it.

I don't want to give this bitch another chance to control him!

"Greetings to King Rui'an and His Royal Highness King Cheng." Chu Zhen and his two sons led the way and came to greet them with their entire family.

There were people kneeling on the ground, but Chu Heyi was not among them.

Dongfang Shuo said, "General Chu, there is no need to be so polite. I should have come to your house a long time ago, but I was in great pain and was delayed. I hope General Chu will not blame me."

"How could that happen? Your Highness was beaten to a bloody pulp and should have stayed in bed for ten days or half a month. None of us in the family blames Your Highness."

It was Chu Ren who spoke first.

The other members of the Chu family were stunned for a moment, and then they suppressed a smile.

Dongfang Shuo's face turned pale. He knew that he was seriously injured, and he used rumors to force him to come to him. Now he was saying such sarcastic words.

The people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are really abominable. Fortunately, Runxue doesn’t live in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion!

It was no wonder that Runxue was willing to destroy the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and hand over the military power to him. The people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion were all a bunch of unruly people. They had stayed at the border for too long and had no idea of ​​the etiquette of Shengjing City!

Dongfang Shuo suppressed his anger and said with a fake smile: "I will be relieved if General Chu doesn't blame me."

He didn't want to waste time talking and said directly: "I came to your house today to discuss the cancellation of the engagement. I also specially invited Uncle Rui'an to be a witness to avoid any disputes in the future!"

"Your Highnesses, King Rui'an and King Cheng, please come this way." Chu Zhen responded calmly, leading the way from the side and front, inviting them to the main hall, and then said to the nanmu chairs: "Your Highnesses, please take a seat."

Dongfang Shuo: “…”

It was intentional, their whole family did it on purpose, knowing that his hip was injured, they still asked him to sit, and there was not a single cushion on the chair!

Looking around, I see that other chairs have no cushions. Is this the style of the general's mansion?

King Rui'an had already sat down, so Dongfang Shuo had to grit his teeth and sit down, but he only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, but this was enough for him to endure.

"General Chu already knows the reason for cancelling the engagement, so I will not elaborate on it. Here is a 10,000 tael silver note, which is my compensation to the girl. It can also be regarded as a little dowry for her when she finds a husband in the future."

Dongfang Shuo asked Yu Liang to take out the 10,000 taels of silver that he had prepared. This amount of money was enough to buy a dowry, and he said it was just to be modest.

Chu Ren took it and counted it on the spot. It was ten thousand taels, no more, no less.

"Although my engagement with Miss Heyi has been cancelled, I will marry Runxue in the future. The Zhenbei Marquisate is still my family. I hope there will be no grudges between our two families in the future." Dongfang Shuo said another polite remark.

Chu Yu said: "How could there be any grudge? We still hope that His Royal Highness King Cheng can be nicer to our sister Runxue. Although Runxue has no blood relationship with us, she has been raised in the Chu family for fifteen years, so there is a deep affection between us."

As long as there is emotion!

Dongfang Shuo thought that as long as they had feelings for each other, they would not be on guard against Chu Runxue, and it would be much easier to kill Chu Yan.

Dongfang Shuo smiled: "Runxue is my wife-to-be, so I will naturally treat her very well."

Everyone had a polite smile on their face.

"Oh, by the way, I have failed Miss Heyi, but I still want to repay my mother. From now on, I will be responsible for Miss Heyi's marriage. If she has a lover, she can also tell me, and I will ask my father to grant the marriage."

Chu Zhen said: "In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness King Cheng."

Dongfang Shuo stood up and said, "Well, now that we have settled the matter, I will not bother you any more. I heard that General Chu is in a hurry to return to the border, so he must need time to pack his luggage. I will take my leave now."

Although there was an engagement, the two families did not exchange engagement letters or anything like that, so canceling the engagement was not complicated and all they had to do was invite a witness.

After Dongfang Shuo finished speaking, he raised his foot to pull King Rui'an away. He felt that the wound on his back that had not yet healed had opened wider. His robe was wet, and a lot of blood must have been lost.

"Your Highness, Prince Cheng, please stay." Chu Heyi strode out from behind the screen, bowed to the two princes, and then said to Dongfang Shuo, "Your Highness seems to have forgotten something?"

Dongfang Shuo squinted his eyes and looked at her.

"The Emperor said that if His Royal Highness Prince Cheng wants to cancel the engagement, he must agree to one of my requests. As long as His Royal Highness fulfills this request, the cancellation of the engagement will be final. Did His Royal Highness forget?"

There was a hint of viciousness in Dongfang Shuo's eyes. Of course he had not forgotten about this matter, he just deliberately did not mention it.

If he, a prince, doesn't bring it up on his own initiative, can Chu Zhen and others force him?

But Chu Heyi, this wild girl from the country, didn't know the etiquette and actually came to ask him!

"I have already thought of the requirements. As long as His Royal Highness Prince Cheng agrees, our marriage will be settled." Chu Heyi said, his eyes curved and his smile turned into a crescent.

The sweeter her smile was, the angrier Dongfang Shuo became.

After holding back for a moment, Dongfang Shuo asked, "I wonder what the ideal girl's requirements are?"
