Chapter 110 Forced Marriage
Chapter 110 Forced Marriage
Seeing that the originally happy atmosphere was about to burst into tears in the blink of an eye, Empress Ma waved her hand and comforted: "The dead cannot be resurrected. If you young people are really filial, you should live well and strive for honor, okay?"
Chang Sheng wiped his tears, nodded and said, "I understand. I will definitely stop drinking in the future!"
"This looks good!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
After saying that, he asked everyone to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, the straightforward Chang Sheng was surprised and pointed at Ye Xuan and asked, "Sister, who is this?"
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, and without waiting for Chang to introduce himself, he said, "I am a captain of the Jinyiwei, Ye Xuan."
"Oh, may I ask who your father is?" Chang Sheng asked directly after hearing this.
Ye Xuan was not surprised to hear this, after all, he was just a small sixth-rank official.
And with this rank, not only did he participate in the garden party that only those above the third rank were qualified to attend, but he also sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang. Anyone would think that Ye Xuan had a good father.
But after much thought, Chang Sheng realized that there were only a few people who could allow his son to sit next to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After thinking about it, I have never heard of anyone with the surname Ye.
This time, Ye Xuan didn't have to organize his words himself. Chang leaned close to Chang Sheng's ear and whispered how Ye Xuan cured the prince's back abscess and how he exposed the secrets of Imperial Physician Xu.
Hearing this, Chang Sheng and his siblings looked at Ye Xuan in surprise.
Chang Sheng was furious and asked Zhu Yuanzhang directly, "Your Majesty, there is such a traitor in the East Palace. It must be the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who infiltrated!"
"Please allow me to lead the troops to arrest all the palace servants in the East Palace. I don't believe that torture will not lead to the extermination of Doctor Xu's accomplices!"
Chang immediately pulled Chang Sheng's clothes anxiously and said angrily: "Brother, please keep your voice down. This matter is of great importance. If it gets out, it will definitely cause unrest in the court!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also sneered and said, "With your martial arts brain, you still want to find Doctor Xu's accomplices. It would be good if you don't alert the snake and scare them away in advance."
Chang Sheng touched the back of his head awkwardly, and then said indignantly: "Is this matter just going to be let go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked murderous and said, "You don't have to worry about this, the Jinyiwei will investigate!"
After that, he looked at Ye Xuan with a smile, and changed the subject: "Ye Xuan, aren't you thinking about getting a wife and expanding your Ye family?"
Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the serious matter they were discussing had been brought up to her.
But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue lying, "That's right, it's just a pity that there has never been a suitable candidate!"
Speaking of this, Ye Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over him.
Sure enough, the next moment Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chang Sheng and Chang Shi with a smile and said, "What do you think about letting Ye Xuan be your brother-in-law? Is it suitable?"
Chang didn't look surprised when she heard this. It seemed that she had heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this before. Instead, she turned to her two sisters with a smile on her face and said, "Don't think that Ye Xuan is just a centurion now, but he will definitely have a bright future in the future!"
"Besides, he's a handsome guy who seems to be caring. Do you two like him?"
After hearing these words, the two sisters, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, blushed and lowered their heads in silence.
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then patted Ye Xuan on the shoulder and said, "I don't care about official positions. As for my identity, my father was just a bandit. When I was still a baby, I followed my father to rob!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. After being glared at by Chang, he restrained himself a little and continued, "Just because you cured my brother-in-law, the Crown Prince, and caught the traitor hiding in the East Palace, let alone you are an official, even if you are just an ordinary citizen, I will fully support you to marry my sister!"
"elder brother……"
"elder brother……"
Upon hearing this, Chang Sheng's two sisters cried out in shame and anger.
As the saying goes, when the father is away, the elder brother is like a father.
Chang Yunchun died early, and the eldest brother was leading troops outside and could not take care of them, so the sisters' lifelong affairs naturally fell to the second brother Chang Sheng, who had the final say.
With Chang Sheng's statement, as long as Ye Xuan nods, they can enter the bridal chamber in less than three to five days.
But his two younger sisters were still at the age of falling in love, and they always felt uncomfortable marrying a stranger.
However, Chang Sheng was just like his father, a domineering person. He said with a dog face, "Brother Ye is young and promising, and he saved your brother-in-law's life. He must have a bright future. You can just smile secretly if you can marry him!"
"If you are smart, speak up quickly, or you will regret it in two years!"
Although Chang Sheng's speech is a bit crude and straightforward, he still has good judgment of people.
Not to mention Ye Xuan himself, the mere fact that he is the Crown Prince's savior means that Ye Xuan is destined to be successful in the future!
In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Xuan is almost tied to the prince. As long as the prince ascends the throne in the future, Ye Xuan will definitely be valued.
At the very least, you can enjoy wealth and glory for a lifetime.
Although the Chang family was extremely powerful, that was based on Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings for Chang Yuchun.
What if one day Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, or if he felt that he had done enough for his old brother and gave up on the Chang family?
After all, Chang Yuchun is no longer around, and his third brother has no future, so the family can't just rely on him and his eldest brother Chang Mao.
To put it another way, since his sister Chang has already married the prince, he might as well marry another sister to the prince's savior.
By then, the Chang family would be completely tied to the prince's chariot, which would be a hundred benefits with no harm.
Not to mention, this marriage was proposed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, so it would be impossible to object even for Zhu's sake.
However, his two sisters didn't expect so much and just kept being reluctant.
After all, she is the daughter of Prince Kaiping and the sister of Duke Zheng. How can she just marry a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
Seeing that the two sisters were about to oppose Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal in front of him, Chang Sheng became so anxious that his eyes turned red.
Fortunately, at this time, Ye Xuan, one of the parties involved, unexpectedly said: "I am of humble origin, how dare I marry the daughter of the Kaiping Wang family? This is killing me!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, even the two Chang sisters who instinctively resisted Ye Xuan couldn't help but look up in surprise.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem surprised. After all, he had some understanding of what kind of person Ye Xuan was.
It's not surprising that a man who can refuse the opportunity to get promoted and make money would reject two beauties.
