Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 868

Chapter 868 Do You Want To Show Off A Little, Your Majesty

Lu Liangwei was taken aback. It took her quite a while to understand what he meant. The corner of her mouth twitched as she immediately turned docile. “That’s not the case at all. The only body I’m interested in is yours.”

With that, her slender fingers hooked onto his belt as she looked brightly at him. “Do you want to show off a little, Your Majesty?”

“Cough, cough!” It was a rare sight to see Long Yang choking on his own saliva. A blush appeared on his handsome face. He gaped at the girl in front of him, unable to say anything at all.

This girl was truly daring with her words!

Lu Liangwei felt a little delighted when she saw him being stunned.

Haha, it was so adorable to see His Majesty unable to react.

In the end, Lu Liangwei returned all the money she won to Zhao Qian and Chu Yi.

Winning Zhao Qian’s money was still within reason, but Chu Yi needed those funds to get married.

Moreover, she had promised Zhu Yu’s hand in marriage to Chu Yi.

Lu Liangwei was just having fun playing cards and was not really interested in taking their money. She was not lacking wealth, anyway.

When Zhu Yu returned the money to Chu Yi and Zhao Qian, they were both overjoyed.

Once Zhu Yu took her leave, Chu Yi could not help but hug the silver pieces he had retrieved. He could not stop smiling. “My funds for marriage have come back to me.”

Zhao Qian mumbled emotionally, “Well, I don’t have anything to spend my silver on. Her Highness is much too kind.”

Chu Yi placed a hand around Zhao Qian’s shoulder and looked eagerly at the money in Zhao Qian’s hands. “Why not let me spend them on your behalf?”.

“Go away.” Zhao Qian quickly stuffed the gold into his sleeve.

“I might not have anything I need to spend them on, but I still need to save up Jiu’s dowry.”

Chu Yi pursed his lips. “In that case, you should quickly start searching for a husband for her. She’s twenty this year and shouldn’t drag the issue until she’s my age. It’s still not too bad for a man, but for a woman, she would have a difficult time getting married off. When that time comes, it won’t matter how much dowry you have saved up for her.”

At the mention of this, Zhao Qian got especially worried. “I’m anxious too, but Jiu is not taking this seriously. I’ve brought her to meet a few men for consideration, but she showed no interest at all. I have no idea what sort of man would be able to capture her attention.”

Chu Yi suddenly thought of something and suggested, “Why not take her for a trip to a male brothel? I’ve heard there are all sorts of men there. There might be at least one that catches her eye.”

Zhao Qian pushed his hand away. “What sort of lousy idea is that? Jiu is not some cheap woman. How could she visit such a place?”

Chu Yi shrugged. “I’m out of ideas, then. You can think up your own.”

Zhao Qian sighed. Jiu was turning twenty this year. If she still could not get married this year, it would be as Chu Yi said. It would only become more difficult for her to get married.

When Chu Yi saw Zhao Qian’s anxious face, he realized that the man truly treated Jiu as his daughter. He paused, then said consolingly, “You shouldn’t be too worried. It’s just not Jiu’s time to get married. When fate shows its hand, things will come together naturally.”

Zhao Qian nodded helplessly. “I hope so.”

The weather was still sunny the next day, though the temperature was warmer. It was not as cold anymore.

Lu Liangwei was craving fish soup, so Long Yang personally sat himself down right next to a hole on the ice which was carved out for fishing purposes. Lu Liangwei accompanied him by the side for a while before she could no longer take it, after which she brought Zhu Yu and Chu Jiu to look around nearby.

She was about to return via the same route when a sharp series of coughs caught her attention.

“Who’s there?” Chu Jiu touched the hilt of her sword and looked sharply at the forest nearby.

She had just finished her words when Wanyan Jin emerged from the forest.

He looked extremely pale and his fist was held against his lips. He coughed again before being able to stop the coughing fit.

Lu Liangwei frowned. She could tell that he had suffered from this illness for a long time, and it was quite serious.
