Chapter 283 We Divorced, Xu Rui
Chapter 283 We Divorced, Xu Rui
Upon hearing this, Princess Gui immediately glared at Gu Yunling, "You little girl, what nonsense are you talking about again? Wasn't his poor health a thing before? Isn't our Xiaoxi treating him now? With our Xiaoxi's medical skills, I think Fifteen will definitely get better. Maybe he can even live a long life with our Xiaoxi in the future."
"Cough cough..." Jiang Xiyu was choked again.
This time she was choked by her own saliva.
Gu Yunling seemed not to hear Jiang Xiyu's cough and nodded again and again, "Auntie Huang is really thoughtful. This girl and Fifteen are indeed a perfect match."
"Princess, Sister Yun, please have some tea." Jiang Xiyu was frightened by their words and quickly stood up to add more tea for them.
I just hope they can drink more tea and talk less.
Jiang Xiyu and the others who were talking in the house at this time had no idea that the gate of the General's Mansion was already crowded with people watching the excitement, and the street in front of the General's Mansion was blocked.
Gulin rode on a tall horse, led the servants of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and carried hundreds of loads of betrothal gifts, waiting nervously at the door of the General's Mansion.
Many of the onlookers had followed Gulin from the street of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, because everyone was curious about which girl the Prince of Qin had taken a fancy to and why he came in person to propose marriage with such a large betrothal gift.
There were many different opinions and speculations, and some people even set up gambling games in restaurants along the way.
Who could have thought that the King of Qin would end up stopping in front of the General's Mansion?
"What does the King of Qin mean? Does this general's mansion still have an unmarried daughter?"
"No, right? Didn't I hear that the general only has one legitimate daughter, the one he just divorced today?"
"Miss Jiang just got divorced, and the King of Qin came to the General's Mansion to propose marriage. Could it be that the King of Qin has his eyes on Miss Jiang?"
"You know what, now that you mention it, it's really possible. After all, this Miss Jiang is the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, with a beauty that captivates the whole country. She's a perfect match for the King of Qin."
I don’t know who said this, but Gulin felt very comfortable after hearing it, and the corners of his lips rose higher.
"If Miss Jiang were an unmarried girl, she would be a perfect match for the King of Qin. Unfortunately, she is a recently divorced abandoned woman. How could she be worthy of the King of Qin?"
But there are some people who like to pour cold water on others and say unpleasant things to annoy others.
Gulin immediately cast a sharp gaze at the person who spoke.
The man originally thought that what he said made sense and was praising the King of Qin. He was about to give a long speech when he was frightened half to death by Gulin's murderous look.
The man's legs trembled as he retreated to the back, and he dared not talk nonsense in front anymore.
After waiting for a while, the servant brought Jiang Kun and Prince Gui in.
Looking at the large number of people gathered in front of him, Jiang Kun frowned.
Gulin stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "General."
When the King of Gui saw that Gulin seemed not to see him, he was speechless, but he also knew that in such an occasion, he still had to give him face, so he did not say anything.
Jiang Kun glanced at the red boxes and fixed his gaze on Gulin. "King Qin, what do you mean?"
"I came here today to propose marriage to you." Gulin said with a cold face.
There were countless black lines on Prince Gui’s forehead.
Who would have a cold face when coming here? If he hadn't said it, I would have thought that his expression now was seeking revenge.
Jiang Kun said coldly, "My daughter just got divorced and currently has no plans to marry anyone."
As Jiang Kun spoke, he pushed the wheelchair back to the general's mansion. Just before the servant was about to close the door, King Qin quickly stepped forward and followed.
Everyone around was dumbfounded. The general had rejected the King of Qin's proposal of marriage.
It looks very interesting.
Jiang Kun returned to the hall and asked the butler to serve refreshments.
Jiang Kun kept staring at Gulin, but Gulin didn't dare to raise his head. The atmosphere in the main hall was stagnant. King Gui ignored them and kept drinking tea. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, he put down the teacup and looked at Jiang Kun with a smile.
"Our old man, the fifteenth, has been both literary and martial since he was young. He wrote poetry at the age of three, learned martial arts at the age of five, and joined the army at the age of fifteen. He led the troops to drive out the Dongyi and fight against the Beirong. You know all these things."
How could Jiang Kun not know?
He also knew that Gulin was good-looking, had good character, and was capable, and that he must be sincere to Xier, otherwise he would not have come to propose marriage with so many things as soon as he knew that Xier was getting divorced.
But he is a member of the royal family after all, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the royal family. Of course, he also hopes that Xier will not have anything to do with the royal family.
Serving the king is like serving a tiger.
Although he was very satisfied with Gulin in all aspects, there was only one thing: in the eyes of the emperor, he was a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eye. What good would Xier have in store if she married him?
Jiang Kun was thinking this, and when the Prince of Gui continued to chatter, Jiang Kun immediately glared at him, "If you want to say more, go back to your palace. I'm tired today."
Prince Gui was choked.
The three of them fell into a stagnant atmosphere again.
For the rest of the time, they drank tea in silence and only left after having lunch at the general's mansion at mealtime.
The news of Qin Wangdao's marriage proposal to the General's Mansion soon spread throughout the capital, and everyone was talking about it.
Deji also received the message and was wondering whether he should tell Xu Rui.
"Say whatever you want."
Xu Rui was looking at the letter. After reading it, he took it to the candle and left.
Deji thought for a few seconds before speaking, "My Lord, did the King of Qin go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage today?"
"What did you say?" Xu Rui turned his head, his eyes full of coldness.
Deji was frightened, but he still went on to speak.
He had just finished speaking when Xu Rui disappeared in the blink of an eye.
**
The General's Mansion.
The doorman had just finished lunch and was about to take a rest, but just as he dozed off, there was a deafening knock on the door.
The doorman opened the door impatiently and asked, "Who is this? It's noon, and you're not going to let me sleep?"
When I opened the door and saw Xu Rui, I was stunned for a moment.
Xu Rui ignored him, pushed him away and walked towards Jiang Xiyu's yard.
Jiang Xiyu, who was reading a book, saw Xu Rui coming towards her angrily and frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Xu Rui didn't answer her. He grabbed her hand and asked, "Did Gulin propose to you? Did you agree to it?"
Jiang Xiyu tried hard to shake off the pain in her wrist, but Xu Rui held it too tightly and she couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.
"Let go. You have no right to interfere in my affairs. We are divorced, Xu Rui."
Xu Rui's eyes turned bloodshot after hearing these words, and he hugged her tightly. "Xi'er, I'm not divorced willingly. I just want to protect you. Don't agree to Gulin, okay? Wait for me. After a while, I'll marry you at Batai Bridge."
