Zhu Haisheng was montarily stunned, then laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, Prince Ning and Princess Ning are famous for doting on their child. I didn’t understand it before, but now that I’ve seen the two of them find their beloved son, I get it. How wonderful! Just like I, Zhu, am also known for spoiling my child. I won’t decide on his marriage; it all depends on his own preferences."
Zhu Yiping then sensed sothing was amiss and asked in surprise, "Dad, what are you talking about? What marriage?"
Zhu Haisheng’s expression didn’t change as he smiled, "Naturally, it’s your marriage to the Commandery Princess. As early as when you both went to Beiyi, I had discussed it with the Prince and Princess. As long as you both like each other, then..."
"Hey, wait a minute!" Zhu Yiping’s face looked odd as he said, "What nonsense are you spouting? The Commandery Princess and I are—!"
"Yiping, oh, co on, don’t be shy. Dad can see it. You like the Commandery Princess, and she likes you too. Otherwise, why would the Commandery Princess run to your courtyard... uh uh..."
Zhu Yiping’s face turned red, and he quickly went forward to cover Zhu Haisheng’s mouth.
Jin Zijin looked sowhat displeased. Jin Luoyin went recklessly to Tianhai Mountain Villa and even stayed in Zhu Yiping’s courtyard. This is indeed inappropriate and damages her reputation. But even if a child doesn’t understand, do you also not understand as an adult?
How could such a thing be said in public?
The guests all stopped, craning their necks to listen to the gossip.
Everyone speculated about who in the world could be worthy of the Commandery Princess, gaining such imnse glory.
The most speculated was the Princely Heir from Lingnan, but unexpectedly, today everyone received such a big surprise.
A young master from Tianhai Mountain Villa suddenly appeared, seeming to have a close relationship with the Commandery Princess.
Jin Zijin coldly huffed, "Zhu Villa Master, for things as vague as this, I think it’s better to be cautious with words."
Hearing this, Zhu Haisheng was filled with fear and trepidation, bowed down deeply, and apologized.
"The Prince is right, as a commoner I have overstepped and sullied the Commandery Princess’s reputation!"
Everyone was surprised beyond asure, and Jin Zijin stepped back, avoiding his deep bow.
Initially, there was nothing amiss, but with that bow and those few pointed explanations, it turned nothing into sothing.
Gu Youyou’s face was unsightly, and she brushed her sleeves to return to the inner courtyard.
After instructing Yue Rujing to help look after the guests, Jin Zijin also returned to the inner courtyard.
After an awkward mont, Zhu Haisheng picked up his wine cup and went to continue drinking with others.
"Zhu Villa Master, what exactly is going on between your son and the Commandery Princess? How did it end up ruining the Commandery Princess’s reputation?"
"Yes, could it be that your Tianhai Mountain Villa and the Ningwang Residence are nearing a good alliance?"
Zhu Haisheng shook his head and said, "Hard to say, hard to say, after all, the Ningwang Residence isn’t soone anyone can easily climb up to."
And under the scrutinizing gazes of everyone, Zhu Yiping was at a loss for what to do. After pondering for a mont, he felt he should explain things to the Ningwang family. Otherwise, how would they interact in the future?
Yue Rujing coughed and loudly declared, "Ladies and gentlen, today’s banquet is to celebrate the Young Prince’s hocoming. Other matters, aside from the Young Prince, let’s not discuss further!"
Yue Rujing’s words were quite effective. After his warning proclamation, even though the guests were curious, they at least dared not discuss these things at the banquet.
...
Gu Youyou was extrely upset and vented to Searcy, "I’ve heard that the owner of Tianhai Mountain Villa is supposed to be a decent person, but eting him in person, how could he be so unreliable?"
"Why? You left the banquet halfway through and rushed back. Did that villa owner offend you?"
