Chapter 916
"I have heard a little about Zheng Yan's affairs." Chu Qifeng opened his mouth, but he didn't even pay attention to Chu Xunyang, so he just looked at Chu Qiyan and said: "I just met Mrs. Zheng's car on the way here. She pleaded with Bengong, saying that the Duke of Pingguo and Nanhe Palace intended to get married. Since Zheng Yan's matter, Zheng Shizi, you said it was a misunderstanding, then I have the right to treat it as a misunderstanding, and the matter will be settled. That's it! Don't care about anything else, but I have to leave something decent for my royal family, Qi Yan, don't you think so?"

Mrs. Zheng went to Nanhe Palace early in the morning, if she met Chu Qifeng on the way back——

This is also considered the past in terms of time.

After hearing this, Zheng Wenkang breathed a sigh of relief——

If Zheng Yan will be Chu Qiyan's future imperial concubine, then even if it's just for his own face, Chu Qiyan must help cover up today's incident.

After hearing this, Chu Qiyan's condensed expression remained unchanged, but the light in his eyes became cold in an instant.

He took a step forward, flicked a bit of dust that had been accidentally rubbed up on his sleeves, smiled eloquently, and said to Chu Qifeng who was about to arrive: "Grandmother really has this intention, but didn't she tell you clearly? Is it? When he went to the palace to discuss this matter with my father early this morning, my father had already refused. "

Chu Qifeng still doesn't give up, is this going to force him to marry Zheng Yan?

It was extremely rare to see a smile on Chu Qiyan's face, but this kind of emotion did not reach his eyes.

"Oh? Really?" Chu Qifeng fiddled with the horsewhip in his hand, and there was a lukewarm arc on his lips, "If it's just the wishful thinking of the Duke of Pingguo, Mrs. Zheng's thing is too hasty, and -"

He said for a while, and then the smile lines around his lips deepened. He leaned forward a little, looked Chu Qiyan in the eyes and said: "Just last night, I also received a message from Duke Pingguo at my palace. The letter from thousands of miles away is also for Zheng Yan and you to propose marriage, why - isn't this matter really discussed in advance between you and the Zheng family?"

An old Mrs. Zheng's words can also be said to be excused by women's experience.

But even Zheng Duo had thought about it early on, did he want to use this to completely bind the relationship between the two families?
Chu Qiyan was skeptical, and the smile on his face became imperceptibly stiff.

But when Chu Xunyang heard this, he suddenly became enlightened——

She was originally surprised that Mrs. Zheng was quite measured, no matter how much she couldn't bear to part with her granddaughter, she shouldn't have rushed to ask Chu Qifeng for orders before Chu Qiyan agreed.

Originally, Chu Qifeng made a strong promise, but she thought that she might have made a mistake in her estimation, and now she realized——

No matter if it's Mrs. Zheng's or Zheng Duo's request for marriage, it's all nonsense.

Although she doesn't know what happened to Mrs. Zheng's place, what she knows is——

Last night Chu Qifeng never received any letter from Zheng Duo at all.

He just used a fictitious excuse to exert pressure, and he must force Chu Qiyan to submit.

Logically speaking, even if her schedule today was hindered, Chu Qifeng shouldn't be so hostile towards Chu Qiyan.

Chu Xunyang was surprised, his thoughts whirled, and when he looked at the group of people following Chu Qifeng, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the expression on his face became stiff for a moment——

That's right, Chu Qifeng was rushing out of the city to see her off, so there was no need to mobilize so many people. According to her understanding of the other party, he would at most wait in advance to talk to her halfway to make plans.

So?

Chu Xunyang's heart was startled, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at the cold-faced young man on the horse's back, feeling a burst of embarrassment in his heart.

"Really?" Chu Qiyan was quite calm, so she let out a slow breath, and said coolly: "I think grandma and uncle are also kind, this is my own private matter, and I will explain it to them later. I won't bother you any more."

"Pingguo's mansion has asked this palace twice, so—" Chu Qifeng smiled, but only halfway through the sentence.

Seeing Chu Qiyan's refusal to marry in public, Zheng Wenkang's heart that had just let go was suspended again, and he said in surprise: "Qiyan, this matter—"

"When will it be your turn for people from the Pingguo Mansion to dictate my affairs?" Chu Qiyan interrupted him in a cold voice.

Zheng Wenkang was restrained by him, he couldn't hold back his face, and his face turned into a liver color.

Chu Qiyan looked at Chu Qifeng who was on the horse with a playful expression. The other party kept biting him to death and did not let go, and he was also under pressure.

And Chu Xunyang who was next to him stared at him even more.

He knew very well in his heart that the two brothers and sisters were determined to make things difficult for him in this matter. Even if he rejected Zheng Yan today, they would still have various reasons to make things difficult for others later on. he.

After living for nearly 20 years, this is the first time Chu Qiyan has been restrained so far.

Although he didn't want to be soft, but for the sake of long-term planning, he finally had to swallow his breath temporarily, and said in a cold voice: "Even if it's a big marriage, there is a first-come-first-served one. Before, the imperial grandfather allowed me to marry him." As for the marriage, since Qifeng, you are going to be the matchmaker for the Duke of Pingguo, then -- let's issue an order to cancel the previous engagement!"

What he was referring to was naturally Huo Qing'er's.

Huo Qing'er turned pale with fright, and raised her head suddenly, but the first thing she looked at was not Chu Qiyan who pushed her out as a shield, but Chu Qifeng who was sitting far away on the horseback.

Even at this time, Chu Qifeng's eyes did not move to her face.

At that moment, the emotion in Huo Qing'er's eyes changed several times, she smiled miserably in her heart, and before no one noticed, she hurriedly lowered her head again.

Chu Qifeng frowned faintly.

However, Chu Xunyang said impatiently and directly: "I wonder if the marriage is just a verbal agreement, so what's the purpose? It just so happens that Ms. Huo is also here. Whether you want to marry or not, you two parties should make it clear in person."

"That's right! Let's forget about the joke at the beginning." Zheng Wenkang also quickly echoed.

For Huo Qing'er, this was an opportunity.

All eyes were on her, Huo Qing'er raised her head bravely, and met Chu Qiyan's cold eyes.

She is not stupid, she has seen Chu Qiyan's attitude towards this marriage very clearly from the beginning to the end, even if it is the daughter of the Zheng family who has common interests, he refuses to marry, let alone such a worthless waste.

Chu Xunyang is obviously giving her a chance, even if the ultimate goal is to force Chu Qiyan to marry the Zheng family or turn her face against him—
