Chapter 1222: Chapter 34: The Debts of Joy (Part 10)
Princess Yinchuan was thinking about Su Yang; her only impression of him was that he made the bees sting her.
He brought out all her psychological shadows.
Su Yang suddenly sneezed, jolting Princess Yinchuan out of her trance.
Her father, in his lifetime, never admired anyone, except for Marquis Dongxiang.
That’s why he spared no effort to push her into Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, to align them in marriage.
A person her father admired must be extraordinary.
But the extraordinary one is the Marquis, not the Marquis’s son.
When she went to Daqi back then, her father kept praising the young master of Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, which piqued her curiosity about the Second Young Master of East Town Marquis Mansion.
But what was the outcome?
Not only was she stung, her Imperial Brother was hurt even worse.
With that awful temper, there’s no way he would forgive her, nor would he marry her, and certainly wouldn’t return the money and grain borrowed from Beimo.
Seeing Su Yang looking at her, Princess Yinchuan shook her head and said, "I’m not joking; I’m really engaged."
She thought Su Yang misunderstood her as joking.
Of course, she also thought Su Yang was joking.
"I’m not joking either," Su Yang’s voice was rich like wine.
Silence once again enveloped the room.
Princess Yinchuan looked at Su Yang, "Don’t you like your fiancée?"
"I don’t have much impression of her," Su Yang said.
"I don’t like her father."
"...???"
Who cancels an engagement for not liking the father-in-law?
He’s not marrying into the family to live with the father-in-law.
Since Princess Yinchuan asked first, Su Yang also asked, "Do you like your fiancé?"
"Like him?" Even tanned, Princess Yinchuan’s pretty face couldn’t hide her displeasure.
"You don’t know how outrageous he is!"
Su Yang’s curiosity was piqued, "How outrageous?"
"The first time I met him, he used..."
The word "bee" was about to come out, but at that moment, the door creaked open.
The assistant came in holding a package of medicine and asked, "Should I deliver this medicine boiled, or should the guest prepare it themselves?"
"I will prepare it," Su Yang replied.
The assistant brought the medicine over, and Su Yang rewarded him with five coins of silver.
The assistant thanked him profusely and then left.
This interruption left the conversation unfinished.
Although Su Yang asked, Princess Yinchuan didn’t want to talk anymore; it was too embarrassing.
Her father exchanged thirty thousand loads of grain and grass and ten thousand taels of gold to bring back a marriage contract, and she was stung at their first meeting, her face losing from Beimo to Daqi.
She hated Su Yang with a gnashing of teeth.
Su Yang sneezed whenever she cursed him.
He rubbed his nose, puzzled, guessing it might be because he had eloped that his parents wanted to scold him but couldn’t find him.
Having eloped for so long, even if the Flying Tiger Army crawled to Beimo, it must have become a mess by now.
Princess Yinchuan refused to talk more, and Su Yang didn’t pursue it. He said, "I’ll marry you."
Princess Yinchuan, "..."
Her face flushed.
Who asked him to marry her?!
She didn’t say she would marry him!
"I can’t cancel my marriage," Princess Yinchuan said.
Su Yang chuckled, "With me here, what engagement can’t be canceled?"
Princess Yinchuan directly pressed the words "braggart" on Su Yang’s forehead.
Forget it.
Best not to mention it.
To avoid getting angrier the more she thought about it.
Su Yang still had this bit of confidence.
He went to help Princess Yinchuan brew the medicine.
Princess Yinchuan leaned against the large pillow, rubbing her aching stomach.
After staying at the inn for two more days, Princess Yinchuan recovered completely. She wanted to continue her journey, but Su Yang disagreed.
They stayed one more day and then set out.
And then—
Su Yang became more troubled.
He chose to have the doctor expose Princess Yinchuan’s true identity because he couldn’t stop her from walking away.
Now that her identity was exposed, Princess Yinchuan still chose to walk on foot.
Su Yang looked at her and said, "You’re a young woman."
"I know," replied Princess Yinchuan.
"Then why are you still walking?" Su Yang had a headache.
"...I like walking," Princess Yinchuan said weakly.
After all, she was lying, feeling a bit flimsy.
But this reason, Su Yang couldn’t refute.
Nothing is more precious than one’s heart’s desire.
Princess Yinchuan liked walking and didn’t like horseback riding or carriage; what could he do?
Could he force a young woman to give up her fondness?
Anyway, he wasn’t in a hurry, so he just accompanied her.
This time, Su Yang was truly not in a hurry; he had resolved to take responsibility for Princess Yinchuan. Otherwise, how could she marry someone?
Unless the fact that they stayed in one room and even shared the same bed is kept a secret for life.
Otherwise, which man wouldn’t mind about this?
He ran away from his engagement, made a private promise afterward, and Beimo suffered humiliation; there’s no way they’d still want to marry off their daughter to him.
