After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 122 It will cost Jiang Zhenyao's life

"What you said shows that you have no confidence in your daughter at all." Mother Jiang was a little dissatisfied with what Father Jiang said, but of course she felt more guilty.

Chu Qibai is the ideal husband for all the ladies in the capital. Even the Ninth Princess in the palace is fascinated by him. However, the Ninth Princess, who is a beautiful lady, cannot even attract Chu Qibai's attention...

(⊙o⊙)...

It seems that their Yaoyao...seems that there is really nothing that can make Chu Qibai fall in love with her.

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the door of the lobby, and the conversation naturally stopped. Father Jiang nervously straightened his collar, then stepped over the threshold and entered the lobby.

It would be a lie for Jiang's mother to say that she was not curious or nervous. It is said that a daughter of a family will be sought after by hundreds of families, and their family is also a famous family. Whether it is for the power of the Duke of Wei or the marriage alliance.

There should be someone who comes to propose marriage, but over the years, few people have come to propose marriage.

I don't know if it's because their Yaoyao loves to wield swords and has a manly temperament, or because...the seventh prince and the imperial concubine in the palace are eyeing her covetously.

Mother Jiang and Father Jiang entered the hall. As the host family, they should have sat in the upper seats. However, the people who came this time were of great importance and could be considered as founding heroes.

The old marquis of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion has not been in charge of affairs in recent years. He is an important guest who rarely visits. Since they are elders, they naturally have to sit in other seats.

This time, there were not only the two of them who came out to entertain the guests. The old lady of the Jiang family and the old duke were also outside to entertain the guests. The old marquis and the old duke sat in the host and guest seats.

The old Duke was even more polite and gave the seat on his left to the old Marquis. Seeing that everyone was already seated, the old Marquis had no choice but to sit on the left.

The two chatted for a few sentences, all of which were polite greetings. As a military commander, Chu Xunyang naturally did not like such politeness and was more accustomed to being straightforward.

Chu Xunyang only said a few words and then went straight to the point, stating the purpose of his visit.

"I want to ask for your granddaughter to marry me on behalf of my grandson Qibai."

Although the old Duke had guessed it long ago, he was still quite surprised when he actually heard it.

"You and I have both fought on the battlefield, and we are old comrades in life and death. I am here to ask for a marriage for my grandson, and to give you a promise. As long as your granddaughter agrees to this marriage and enters my Chu family, I promise to never treat her unfairly and treat her like my own granddaughter."

Chu Xunyang's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and even Yun couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Her father-in-law had not been involved in family affairs for many years, but she didn't expect that he would come to her house today for Bai's matter, and be so serious about it.

With this guarantee, the Jiang family naturally had nothing to say, especially since the old Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had not come out for a long time. He could have handed the matter over to his daughter-in-law Yun, but he still came in person.

This is enough to show his sincerity.

The Jiang family has never wanted Jiang Zhenyao to enter the palace. They know the Seventh Prince's abilities and character too well, and they also know Jiang Zhenyao's personality too well. She is not suitable for the deep palace.

Even if the Seventh Prince really ascended the throne, what awaited him in the future were the three palaces and six courtyards. Jiang Zhenyao was so wanton and flamboyant, and was used to doing whatever she wanted. If she really went to the deep palace...

That kind of invisible intrigue would cost Jiang Zhenyao her life.

From the very beginning, Jiang's father and mother did not expect their daughter to enter the palace and become the prince's consort, nor did they expect their nephew to become the crown prince or even the future emperor.

The Great Zhou has only gone through two dynasties, but it has already become increasingly decadent under the rule of His Majesty. If the Seventh Prince, who is similar to His Majesty, is allowed to ascend the throne, then the Great Zhou will really be hopeless...

The old Duke was even more discerning. He knew that his daughter had lofty ambitions, and he also knew about his grandson's "grand ambitions and wishful thinking," so he didn't want the Jiang family to be involved in this mess.

If she really wanted to marry, she should have chosen someone who had nothing to do with any faction, who could protect Zhenyao, and who could satisfy Zhenyao...

But it is too difficult to find such a person. Among the young generation in Beijing, the most outstanding ones are Tang Yuhuai, Rong Jinfeng and Chu Qibai.

But the Rong family had no intention of proposing marriage. The Tang family...lived next door to them. Zhenyao and Rong had grown up together, and neither of them had such intention. Fighting for so many years would only make them disgusted with each other.

There is only one left, Chu Qibai. Although he is related to the third prince Zhou Yichen, he is both talented in civil and military affairs, has no concubines, his backyard is very clean, and most importantly... Zhenyao likes him.

As a mother-in-law, Jiang's mother was becoming more and more satisfied with her son-in-law, so after counting Chu Qibai's advantages in her mind, she felt that Qibai was a good son-in-law.

Father Jiang viewed Chu Qibai entirely from the perspective of a military general. He felt that Chu Qibai had fully inherited the old marquis's talent in martial arts.

Especially after experiencing the previous disaster and epidemic in Yunzhou, the story of Chu Qibai bravely breaking into the bandit's lair with a sword and wiping out the entire bandit village in one fell swoop is still widely circulated in Beijing.

Those storytellers like to tell the heroic deeds of Chu Qibai who cleverly captured the bandit camp.

Father Jiang naturally did not consider this matter entirely. There was also the last assassination in the capital, where hundreds of people were unable to kill Chu Qibai alone. Such a talented young man was indeed the perfect match he wanted to choose for his daughter.

Everyone in the Jiang family has their own thoughts, but overall they have reached a consensus that this marriage... they are very satisfied.

Therefore, the old Duke took a look at his son and daughter-in-law, and when he saw his son nod slightly without expressing any emotion, he knew that he agreed to the marriage.

As for the old lady, she didn't know much about the young people in the capital, but she had heard her granddaughter say before...if she wanted to marry, she should marry someone like Chu Qibai, so she knew what her granddaughter was thinking.

The old Duke agreed to the marriage in front of the old Marquis. He was a military commander and was used to being straightforward, so he was too lazy to beat around the bush.

The old marquis and Yun then began to discuss the wedding date. This was the way it was these days, with the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words as long as the elders of both families agreed to the marriage.

We can start discussing the wedding date and the amount of the betrothal gift directly.

The old marquis was more cautious than Yun. When it came to deciding the date, he meant to first exchange the engagement letters, match the horoscopes, and then calculate a good day for the wedding in half a year.

"Qi Bai has gone to the border and joined the army. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while. Even if he comes back to get married, it will take at least half a year. It can't be done too soon."

The old Duke's family all understood.

Especially the old Duke, he smiled with his eyes narrowed, stroking his white beard, "We understand this point, a man has ambitions, and it is more important for him to achieve success when he is young and promising."

Father Jiang lowered his head guiltily and coughed lightly. His old father didn't know, but he knew it very well.

His daughter had previously approached him about the possibility that Chu Qibai might be assassinated on his way out of Beijing, and later she even went to Huzhou City in person to help Chu Qibai.

Now, he is not in Beijing, and I don’t know whether his undisciplined daughter has returned home?
