The next day, Sui Linsheng knelt in the hall of Sui's mansion and begged his father to propose marriage.

It's just that he is impulsive and can agree to anything, but not Shangshu Sui.

He waved his sleeves and said, "Dad doesn't agree."

Sui Linsheng didn't understand, "Why? What's wrong with Fangru?"

Sui Shangshu sighed at his son's stupidity, "It's because she's too good that our Sui family can't afford to marry her."

"Your aunt revealed the news that the emperor intends to give Miss Liu to the crown prince as a concubine. Why do you think that is?"

The Emperor deliberately used Concubine Xian to warn his own son not to bother Liu Fangru anymore.

At first, Shangshu Sui did not take it too seriously, thinking that the girl from the Liu family had never liked Lin Sheng and had always kept her distance, so his son had no chance at all.

But he never thought that in just over a month, the girl from the Liu family actually fell in love with his own son, and the news spread all over the city.

That's why Shangshu Sui forced his son to be sent to the military camp and cut off all his communications. Unexpectedly, the instructor released him early!

Sui Shangshu sighed, "Mr. Lin, you are not a child anymore. Do you know what it means to go to the Liu family to propose marriage?"

It means that they are blatantly slapping the emperor in the face.

Who can afford the consequences?

"No matter how you acted before, your father let you do whatever you wanted, but this marriage concerns our entire Sui family, as well as your aunt in the palace. Think about it carefully."

Sui's father left, leaving Sui Linsheng alone kneeling in the hall for a long time.

I kissed the girl I loved last night and was so excited that I wanted to welcome her home. However, my heart, which had been boiling all night, was chilled to the ground by a basin of water thrown by my father in the morning.

No matter how unbridled he was in the capital, he could not compete with the prince for women.

This is the crushing of power.

But Fangru was still waiting for him...

On one side is the woman I have loved for a long time, and on the other side is my family. What should I do?

Yun Wei is a smart girl, but she is not in Lin'an, so Sui Linsheng has no one to discuss things with.

That night, Sui Linsheng still went to Liu Mansion.

Qiuzhu and Songxia were already very mature maids, and when they saw him climbing over the wall, they immediately moved away, and pulled all the maids and secret guards away with them, giving the two of them some space to be alone.

Last night, the two of them stood in the corridor and kissed passionately.

Tonight the two of them stood in the same position, standing equally close to each other, but neither of them spoke.

After a long while, Sui Linsheng spoke first, "I'm sorry..."

The voice was heavy and guilty.

Liu Fangru was very calm: "Why apologize?"

"Because I didn't come to propose marriage as promised, and made you wait for a whole day."

Apologies for this reason...

Liu Fangru thought he would just say: I'm sorry, I can't propose marriage to you in the future.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. You've waited for me for so long. It's not too much for me to wait for you for a day."

Sui Linsheng felt a pang in his heart, and he stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, "Fangru, I will definitely..."

He wanted to say something but was interrupted by Liu Fangru, "But it's a good thing you didn't come today, otherwise my father would definitely reject you."

"I blame myself for being impulsive yesterday and asking you to propose marriage. You probably don't know that the emperor has already told father, intentionally or unintentionally, that after the rice-to-mulberry conversion is completed, I will be given to the prince as his consort."

Instead, she apologized, "I didn't think it through. If you really came, I'm afraid it would cause trouble for you."

"So...just give up on me."

When Sui Linsheng heard that she wanted him to give up, he immediately became anxious, "No way, I will never give up on you!"

He grabbed her hand and squeezed it so hard that her palm hurt.

"Fang Ru, I won't let you marry the prince! Give me some time, I will definitely find a way to stop it."

Liu Fangru pulled her hand back and pretended to be desperate, "What can I do? He's the prince."

Sui Linsheng saw that she was sad, and seemed to have made up his mind, "If the Sui family surrenders to Prince Qi and uses our family's support in exchange for Prince Qi's help, we should be able to stop it."

Sui Linsheng is just a little naive in his attitude towards feelings, which doesn’t mean he is really stupid.

This was the first time he really used his brain to analyze the current situation. Prince Qi and the Crown Prince were fighting fiercely. If he took the initiative to surrender to Prince Qi, in exchange, Prince Qi must find a way to help him marry Fangru, he believed Prince Qi would be very happy to do so.

Liu Fangru was a little surprised, "Does Minister Sui know about your idea?"

Sui Linsheng shook his head, "Father doesn't know yet, but I believe that as long as I insist, he will agree."

It was not entirely out of impulse that he joined Prince Qi, but Sui Linsheng also secretly realized that his father was interested in helping Prince Qi, and they were even in secret contact.

The road to succession is dangerous, and it is difficult for the Sui family to remain neutral. Sui Linsheng knows that his father will definitely choose one side to support in the end.

But my father is old and has many things to consider, so perhaps it can only be accomplished with Sui Linsheng's impulsiveness.

Sui Linsheng held her hand tightly, his voice serious, "In short, I will not let you marry the prince. I will do my best to marry you home."

The young man's promise is really touching.

For the first time, Liu Fangru took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

Sui Linsheng thought she was scared, so he hugged her tightly, comforted her, and kissed her forehead again and again.

That gentle comfort made Liu Fangru feel that it was worth it, everything was worth it.

Liu Fangru was very thoughtful and had already known his dilemma.

These questions asked today are just tests, to test how he will choose in this matter.

She also knew that this matter would be difficult for anyone, and she did not ask him to abandon his family and give up everything for her.

She just wanted him to stick with her for a while, say that he would not give up easily, and show his attitude towards her, and she would take care of the rest.

But she didn't expect that he would choose to involve the entire family in the fight for the throne for her.

How could Liu Fangru not be moved, and how could she let him make all the efforts and then reap the benefits?

She pushed him away slightly, "Mr. Lin, I actually have a solution."

Sui Linsheng was surprised, "What method?"

"Spread the news that Yunxi drugged me, and say that I didn't find the antidote that day, so I gave myself to you."

Only Gu Changling and Weiwei knew about the antidote that day. As long as they didn't reveal it, everyone would believe it if it was made public.

In this way, the emperor had no choice but to marry her to Sui Linsheng.

After all, the royal family would never want a daughter-in-law with no integrity.

At this moment, Liu Fangru was glad that Yunxi had used such a trick to harm her.

But when Sui Linsheng heard this, he immediately refused, "No! How will people in the capital see you like this?"

The woman was immoral before marriage. Even if she married him, everyone in the capital would laugh at her in the future.

Liu Fangru was very determined, "I don't care what others think of me, I just want to marry you."

This is the only thing that can be accomplished without Sui Linsheng having to take risks to choose sides or to make things difficult for him. He only needs to sacrifice his own reputation.

She already knew the problems Sui Linsheng would encounter if he came to propose marriage, and she had discussed it with her father today.

After listening to her, her father was silent for a long time, and finally asked her one question, "Don't you regret it?"

Liu Fangru shook her head, "No regrets."

But Sui Linsheng didn't want that. He didn't want his fairy to have any stain. He just wanted to marry her in a grand ceremony.

He still wanted to argue, thinking that there might be a chance for this matter to turn around, so he opened his mouth and suddenly felt a heat on his lips.

Liu Fangru took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kiss him...

She was also shy, her face was hot, but her bright eyes were stubborn and firm, and she said firmly: "Sui Linsheng, you are worth it."

It's worth sacrificing my reputation.

After missing Sui Linsheng, Liu Fangru felt that she would never meet another him in her life.

Then catch her, she doesn't care about so many people.

If you want it, grab it.
