The Incense Monopoly Order

Chapter 92: Never Accept Two Colors

"I..." Shang Zishu was confused.

She knew clearly that this was a formal proposal of marriage, and if she refused, there would be no possibility for her and Chen Che to have a future together.

Mrs. Chen was able to take the initiative and ignore the Chen clan’s high-profile proposal once, but it is impossible for her to suppress the entire Chen family a second time.

"Second Madam, the Master and the Madam asked me to ask your wishes." Xiao Yu and Shang Jinliang had to entertain the guests outside, and Xiao Yu's confidant went to the backyard to ask Shang Zishu.

Shang Zishu was extremely anxious. She knew that Chen Che was unwilling to accept this marriage, and she could not agree to it for her own selfish reasons, which would harm Chen Che. If Chen Che met a woman he liked in the future, she would not be able to intervene because she would be in the wrong.

"Third sister, what should I do?" Shang Zishu held Shang Mingshu's hands tightly, at a loss.

Shang Mingshu's mind was as clear as a mirror. She turned around and told He Sui, "Go outside and see if Chen Dalang has come with you. If you see Chen Dalang inviting someone in, send someone to look for him if he doesn't come."

After giving He Sui instructions, he instructed Shang Zishu's maid Jin Ya: "Go with Dong Yue to the front yard and quietly tell Madam that the Second Lady needs to know Chen Da Lang's feelings before she can reply."

The maids didn't care about Shang Zishu's reaction and quickly took the order and carried it out.

Chen Che was dragged here by Mrs. Chen. He knew in his heart that Shang Zishu was willing to marry him and he was extremely averse to it. But his mother said that if he didn't go with her today, Shang Zishu would refuse the marriage and there would be no possibility for the two of them.

When he thought that he would never have a chance to see Shang Zishu in the future, Chen Che did not resist and let his mother bring him over, so He Sui could easily find him.

"Master, the Second Lady has something to say to you. Please follow me."

Chen Che recognized He Sui, who was Shang Mingshu's personal maid. He then saw Shang Zishu's personal maid quietly walking to Mrs. Shang's side, so he stood up and followed her.

The withered lotus leaves hang low, and new water chestnuts sprout.

Chen Che followed He Sui to the garden. Shang Zishu was standing alone by the pond. She was wearing a light green pleated skirt with a lotus-colored top. Her hair was loose with slender green hairbands fluttering on both sides. Several hibiscus flowers were blooming beside her, and the pink and white flowers were particularly delicate among the green leaves, just like her.

Shang Zishu turned around when she heard footsteps, and Chen Che quickly looked away as if startled.

Shang Zishu, preoccupied with her own affairs, didn't delve into the details. She quickly walked over and waved He Sui away. When they were the only two left in the garden, she asked, "Mrs. Chen is here to propose marriage. You're coming along. Do you agree to this marriage?"

"I, I... I..." Chen Che wanted to say that he was still a little resistant to this marriage, but he couldn't bear to do it. He hesitated for a long time. Seeing that Shang Zishu was becoming more and more impatient, he made up his mind, "Tell me first, if you fall in love with someone else's tea recipe in the future, will you divorce me and marry someone else?"

Shang Zishu: ...

For a moment, she really wanted to pry open Chen Che's brain and see what he was thinking!
"Why are you hesitating? Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Che was anxious. Shang Zishu's indescribable expression made him misunderstand that Shang Zishu had such an intention.

Rolling her eyes inelegantly, Shang Zishu said, "I understand the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. Since I'm marrying you, I won't have any thoughts of divorce unless you're angry at me for betraying me. And I certainly won't marry someone else just for the sake of tea!"

"Just marry me for Cha Fang..." This was the hurdle that Chen Che couldn't get over.

"It's all because of you..." Shang Zishu was so desperate that she almost blurted out what was in her heart.

"Because of me?" Chen Che's eyes suddenly changed, and he even felt a little embarrassed without realizing it. "Because of me?" "Because you look very much to my liking." Shang Zishu smiled.

That smile was obviously fake, but when Shang Zishu praised his outstanding appearance, Chen Che subconsciously touched his face, suppressing the upward curve of his lips, and didn't forget his purpose: "Swear, swear that you will never abandon your husband and children for someone else's tea recipe!"

"Me? You——" Shang Zishu was speechless.

Who was marrying whom? As a woman, she had no doubt that he would have many women in the future, but as a man, he was worried that she would abandon him and their children?

Is she some fickle woman?

"I also swear that I will never marry another woman and will only live a good life with you." Noticing that Shang Zishu was about to get angry again, Chen Che quickly raised his finger, "If you break your oath, you will not have a good ending."

Shang Zishu was stunned. She had never thought that her future husband would not accept two men. She had never seen a man who was alone in her life. Even though some people were poor, as long as they had a few copper coins in their hands, they would not be able to stop themselves from stepping into a brothel.

"You don't believe it? Or you don't want to?" Shang Zishu didn't respond for a long time, and Chen Che panicked again.

"Can you really do it?" Shang Zishu thought that no matter how determined a woman was in this world, her heart would be moved when she heard that a man swore to be loyal to her and stay with her until old age.

Just now, her heart skipped a beat.

"Think it over carefully. Without this oath, if you want to marry a beauty, I will not interfere." Shang Zishu interrupted Chen Che who was about to speak, "But you said this and then broke your promise. I will make you live a life worse than death."

Chen Che felt uneasy under Shang Zishu's stern gaze, but he said confidently, "Since I was a child, I have seen my mother alone in an empty room without my father by her side. I swore that I would always put my wife first and not let her live a life as difficult and lonely as my mother's.

I won't break my promise. I'll live my life with you wholeheartedly, and you must swear not to have any second thoughts. Not just for someone else's tea recipe, but also if you meet a man who's more handsome than me in the future, you won't have any second thoughts!

Shang Zishu was amused by him. She suddenly found Chen Che very lovable and lovable. She raised her finger obediently: "I swear, you won't betray me and I won't betray you. If you break your oath, you will not be rewarded..."

"Okay, I believe you!" Chen Che did not let Shang Zishu say the last unlucky word.

Shang Zishu's heart warmed again: "I will send someone to tell my mother that I agree to this marriage."

Chen Che's heartbeat quickened, his ears grew hot, and he feigned reserve: "Yeah."

"Go back to the front yard first. If you leave for too long, people will inevitably spread rumors." Shang Zishu sent Chen Che away.

Chen Che knew that Shang Zishu was right, but he felt a little reluctant.

Shang Zishu turned around and left decisively.

Chen Che looked at her indifferent back without even turning back, his face full of loneliness, and couldn't help but mutter: "You really don't care about me..."

The news that the Chen family tea shop in Hangzhou was going to marry the Shang family tea shop in Huizhou spread throughout the city in just one day, and many people came to the door with gifts to congratulate them.

Shang Zishu suddenly felt relieved. Not only did she learn the method of roasting Longjing tea, but she also solved her lifelong problem. She felt that all the troubles in her life were gone in an instant. If the two families had not only made a verbal engagement and the three letters and six ceremonies had not yet begun, Shang Zishu would have wanted to go to the Chen family's door immediately to take a look at the Longjing tea recipe.
