Shopkeeper Li looked around with shifty eyes to confirm that no one was eavesdropping before continuing.
“It is said that when the Seventh Prince’s mother passed away, he swore to Heaven that he’ll be mourning for the rest of his life, and won’t be getting married in this lifetime.”
“At that time, the Emperor had just granted a marriage to him with the daughter of General Li. I forgot her name but when that daughter heard what ChunJun declared, she killed herself on that day itself.”
“With a burst of rage, General Li went to kill ChunJun. But then he somehow disappeared, it is not known whether he is dead or still alive. I think ah, the possibility of him being dead is around eighty percent.”
Shocked. There was actually such a thing happened.
That dude’s 1 charm was too much ah.
“So he really didn’t marry anyone?”
“What marry ya? I heard that no matter what the Emperor did, as long as it is regarding marriage, he will go against the decree.”
“As time dragged along, the Emperor didn’t bother to control him anymore. Later on, whenever he arrange marriage to the princes, he won’t arrange anything to ChunJun.”
So, he was a ‘forever alone’ 2.
Good, she liked it. But wouldn’t be this dude actually is a problematic type of person, really going to be single a lifetime out of filial piety?
Thinking to this point, Zhu WuXin let out a sinister smile.
No matter he has problem or not, she still wanted to thank him, what was she thinking all those messy things for.
“Say, we can really use the idiom ‘Birds of a feather flock together’ to describe this group of people. Can you see, both Seventh and Ninth Prince are not the married type.”
“However, Ninth Prince is going to bid farewell to his Single status soon. Then Seventh Prince will have no companion, the days will be much more boring ah.”
Shopkeeper Li said by the side, with a voice of no regrets in it, “Those who born in the Imperial Family ah, there are also babies which the Emperor cannot handle.”
“Yeah, Shopkeeper. You are well informed ah.”
“Nonsense. In our line of business, if we are not well informed, then how to get along ah?”
“Shopkeeper is indeed a shopkeeper.”
“All right, all right. Stop saying nonsense. Hurry up and greet the guests! How did I suddenly started to gossip with you?”
Finally realizing that it was not a good timing for the conversation, he shouted out.
Zhu WuXin’s mood was very good anyway, so she cheerfully went to attend to the guests.
Shopkeeper Li stood at his place, unable to make head or tail of it.
In the end, he still couldn’t figure something out.
“No, wait ah, why is the dignified daughter of the minister trying to knock against an impossible place ah? 3“
“WuXin, ai, Wuxin, you come back. We need to chat….”
