The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Chapter 150 The Zhou Family Comes to Propose Marriage

After the Grain Rain, Liu Yu set out on the road to the plum forest again. Over the past few days, the red plums in the plum forest have blossomed more gorgeously, giving people a feeling of vitality in this barren world in winter. However, Liu Yu had no intention of appreciating them. He wanted to go to the last viewing pavilion in the plum forest to have a look. If Chen Xiyao was still not there, he would have to tell the old lady and the third master and send someone to search for her as soon as possible.

As Liu Yu stepped onto the steps, she saw two figures huddled together in the pavilion, grilling meat.

She let out a long breath, and her tense heart relaxed. A smile appeared on her face, and she walked over.

"You guys are so hard to find for me." Liu Yu walked into the pavilion, sat down next to Chen Xiyao, and said casually, "If I couldn't find you guys, I would have thought that some villain had kidnapped my little aunt from the Chen family. It turns out that she came out with Master Qin."

Her words made Qin Ke and Chen Xiyao realize that they had been out for quite some time. Chen Xiyao smiled unnaturally, then thought of what happened at today's banquet and asked hurriedly, "How was Princess Xinyi's matter handled?" As she spoke, she was about to stand up and go out to see what was going on.

Liu Yu gave Chen Xiyao a look that said, "Is it too late for you to remember it now?"

Chen Xiyao's anxious mood calmed down instantly, and she sat down, explaining with an embarrassed smile: "Don't we have people and Third Brother? I can't help you much if I go, and I may even cause trouble for you." Zhang Mengdie had a good relationship with Feng Huan. The fact that she had betrayed Feng Huan spread throughout the capital. If she went there, she would definitely be hated.

She brought a plate to Liu Yu and put the roasted rabbit leg in the bowl, which was at the perfect temperature, on Liu Yu's plate: "Last time I asked you to taste Brother Ke's cooking, try it."

Liu Yu glanced at Chen Xiyao and thanked Qin Ke. The food was indeed delicious. Then he casually asked them what they talked about here and why the excitement at the banquet could not attract them.

Chen Xiyao hesitated for a long time, unable to answer. In the end, Qin Ke helped her out: "I've been outside for too long, and I'm not used to the hustle and bustle of the capital's aristocratic families. I wanted to go out for a walk. Yao'er was worried that I would be bored alone, so she came out to accompany me for a while."

Looking at Qin Ke's calm expression, Liu Yu believed them and didn't think much about it.

But she didn't know if it was her illusion. Since she came, the two of them had hardly communicated. She just saw the two of them standing next to each other outside, as if it had never happened before.

The three of them were silent, admiring the scenery of the plum forest for a while. Liu Yu remembered the encounter with Zhou Huaian in the front yard and told Chen Xiyao about it.

Chen Xiyao was surprised and murmured, "So fast?"

Liu Yu didn't notice Chen Xiyao's abnormality and continued talking.

"I think the thing he brought looks like something for proposing marriage. Did he tell you about it?"

As soon as the word "propose marriage" was uttered, Qin Ke, whose eyes were on Merlin outside, turned around and looked at Chen Xiyao.

Facing the two people's gazes, Chen Xiyao clutched her sleeves tightly with both hands, too nervous to know how to tell them.

Fortunately, outside the pavilion, Mr. Chen Sanye's figure appeared outside. Chen Xiyao stood up to greet him, and Qin Ke and Liu Yu followed him out.

With this interruption, Liu Yu simply stopped asking questions. No matter whether Zhou Huaian came to propose to Chen Xiyao as she thought, she would find out soon.

After a busy and tiring day, at the invitation of Chen Xiyao, Mr. Chen San entered the pavilion and sat down next to Qin Ke. The two began to discuss Qin Ke's appointment.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, someone from Shou'an Hall came and invited Mr. Chen San and Chen Xiyao to the main hall.

Liu Yu and Qin Ke followed them and also left Merlin.

Seeing the happy face of the little girl sent by Shou'an Hall, Qin Ke curiously asked Liu Yu beside him: "Is there any happy event happening in the Chen Mansion?"

Liu Yu withdrew her gaze from Chen Xiyao in front of her and glanced at the little girl. She felt that her guess was probably correct.

She nodded and replied, "If I'm not wrong, about the same!"

Qin Ke thought about it and felt that it was impossible. Suddenly, his eyes fell on Chen Xiyao's back.

Could it be that Yao'er is about to get married? As soon as this thought came out, Qin Ke subconsciously rejected it. The old lady and uncle were reluctant to let her get married!

I haven't heard my uncle mention before that he wants to marry Yao'er off. It's impossible to decide in such a short time!

However, he felt that this possibility was very high. At Yao'er's age, other people would have been married long ago. Before he came back, he thought that Yao'er had already been married and had children.

"Is Yao'er getting engaged?" Instead of guessing, Qin Ke asked.

Liu Yu was surprised. He was worthy of being a juren who had obtained the title based on his real talent and knowledge. He was much better than the descendants of the Liu family who survived by relying on secret seals. His guess was right at the first try.

She pointed to the table set in the main courtyard.

Qin Ke looked in the direction Liu Yu pointed and saw boxes half a person's height. A big red flower was tied to the handle of each box. Inside, there were brocade, gold items, cloth, etc. with wedding characters pasted on them in a row. There was also a wedding maid standing beside them.

It's true. Qin Ke didn't know what he felt in his heart. He felt like his sister had grown up and he hadn't seen enough of her, but she was about to get married.

They didn't leave, but followed him to Shou'an Hall and waited in the yard.

Qin Ke wanted to see the man who wanted to marry Chen Xiyao. He had to take a good look at this man's character for Yaoer. If he was not good, he would stop Yaoer from marrying him even if it would make his uncle unhappy.

In fact, even Qin Ke himself didn't realize that he was paying too much attention to someone proposing to Chen Xiyao.

He has always been a rational and calm person. As long as he thinks about it carefully, he will find it, but now his attention is all on the main hall.

Liu Yu looked at him several times with a strange look in his eyes.

She was waiting here because the two people she cared about most were inside. Besides, she was a member of the Chen family, so it would be a bit out of place for Qin Ke to be here.

But when she looked inside the main hall and saw what she had asked Chen Xiyao that day, Xiyao said without any hesitation that she wanted to marry Zhou Huaian, Liu Yu stopped her unrealistic thoughts and focused on the situation in the main hall.

Unfortunately, they were too far away and could not see anything. She could not see clearly through the corridor. She only saw the end, when the old lady in the main seat handed the horoscope to Old Madam Zhou. Everyone's face was filled with smiles, except for the two of them.

Liu Yu and Qin Ke looked at each other. Is this it?
