The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2647: Chapter 131: Prince An Visits the Li Residence

"That’s wonderful news," Ms. Wang said with a smile, "I’ll arrange the marriage for you. Don’t underestimate me because of my age—I still get things done efficiently."

Ye Haoxuan thought to himself that he wouldn’t dare let Ms. Wang arrange his marriage, otherwise neither his parents nor his uncle would forgive him.

Anyway, he already planned to have a simple ceremony first in Funan to make the elders happy. Once back in Capital City, his marriage would be arranged by both the House of the Imperial Clan and the Ministry of Rites.

He was quite pleased with his plan, but Yang Dachuan had something to say.

"This won’t work!"

"Why won’t it work? What are you talking about, old man?"

Yang Dachuan didn’t mind her irritation, calmly put down his cup, and said, "Why are you so anxious?"

Ye Haoxuan thought that he was anxious too.

"I heard that the boy from the Li Family passed away a few days ago—that’s the girl’s father. Your Uncle Qingbao even went to offer paper money, as they had business dealings."

"With her father passed away, wouldn’t the girl have to observe mourning for three years? After three years, you’d be an old man, and by then, Yangyang’s child could be going to school. Your parents wouldn’t agree with such an age gap."

"This really happened?"

Ye Haoxuan furrowed his brow tightly—tight enough to clip a fly. Why didn’t he know this had happened?

People can be so inconvenient—dying at this time just to cause him trouble.

"That’s not good." Hearing this, Ms. Wang lost her enthusiasm too, "Listen to me, there are plenty of good girls in Funan. Look around, I’m sure there’s someone better."

Ye Haoxuan pondered for a long time before saying, "Isn’t there an old rule that allows marriage within a hundred days?"

Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan exchanged a glance, thinking things didn’t look good—the boy seemed genuinely interested in the girl.

Upon learning of Li Shan’s death, Ye Haoxuan couldn’t sit still and headed to Wangshui Town the next day.

He had prepared generous gifts and went to pay a visit.

"Miss, good news, good news..."

Li Luru was detained at home doing needlework when Xiaohong chirped excitedly as she arrived from outside.

"?"

"Miss, the legendary prince is here." Xiaohong was so delighted that she almost jumped, "He’s accompanied by the young masters."

Li Luru was thrilled upon hearing this, so much that she pricked herself with the needle without noticing.

A while later, she took up her pen and asked, "Who’s here? Just him alone?"

"Just the prince and his attendants."

Upon hearing this, Li Luru’s heart sank—perhaps he had learned of the Li Family’s situation and was displeased?

Otherwise, why did he come alone?

He once said that when he came, he would certainly propose marriage. To make a proposal, you need a matchmaker.

Just then, another maid came forward to report, "Miss, Nanny Yang is here."

Upon hearing this, Xiaohong went out to welcome her and whispered, "Nanny, you’ve come just in time—the miss seems unhappy about the prince’s visit."

"What’s there to be unhappy about?" Nanny Yang entered the room with a smile.

But being more experienced than Xiaohong, she thought somewhat further ahead and said, "The prince came today because he heard about our master’s situation and came to pay a visit. The proposal might take a few days. According to the prince, Marquis Changning and his wife are not in Funan, so it wouldn’t be proper to ask the elderly of the Yang Family to extend the invitation. The elderly lady of the Yang Family just returned to Funan a few days ago, so she needs to rest before troubling her with this matter."

Upon hearing this, Li Luru’s face turned red.

Nanny Yang continued with a loving gaze—after all, this was the child she raised herself.
