Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chapter 853 Chu Yi Asks For Zhu Yu’s Hand In Marriage

Chu Yi met her gaze and gave some thought before saying, “To be completely honest with you, Your Highness, I have something to ask of you today.”

Lu Liangwei darted a look at Long Yang, who had remained silent. She said with an air of interest, “What is on your mind? Just tell me and I’ll see if I can help you with it.” Chu Yi felt relieved when he heard her words. It looked like Her Highness would be an easy person to speak to about this.

He sighed with relief and immediately declared, “I’d like to marry Miss Zhu Yu. I hope that Your Highness will be able to grant this marriage to me.”

Lu Liangwei had actually guessed that Chu Yi most likely came to her in regards to his marriage, but she never expected that Zhu Yu was the one he wanted to marry.

She was taken aback and did not agree immediately. She sized him up properly and saw the mark of five fingers on his left cheek. Even though it was quite vague, it could still be seen. A thought passed through her mind as she considered this. Then she said, “I will still need to check with Zhu Yu about this matter.”

Chu Yi had no idea what else he could do. If she were to ask Zhu Yu, that girl would never agree to it.

He looked pitifully at his master.

Long Yang was reading when he sensed Chu Yi’s gaze. He paused for a moment before saying, “Zhu Yu belongs to the Empress. It’s not my place to decide this.”

Chu Yi’s expression fell.

Lu Liangwei found this rather amusing.

She remembered that Chu Yi was thirty this year and it looked like he was getting anxious. A thought crossed her mind and she asked, “Why is Zhu Yu the one you want to marry? There were so many beauties last night. Did none of them catch your eye?”

V

Chu Yi shook his head. “Nope.”

Even he found this rather strange.

He had been so excited when he saw all these beauties in the beginning, but when he walked amidst them, he quickly found his enthusiasm waning. He was not as excited as he had thought, and had even lost the mood.

The fact remained that Zhu Yu was unquestionably the one who had spotted Manna first. Chu Yi had no idea what got into him back then. The next thing he knew, he had gone ahead to try and snatch Manna from Zhu Yu.

He was already thirty, and yet, he was bickering with this young lady. He was even… enjoying it.

How ridiculous was that?!

As for the incident that happened moments ago, he had kissed Zhu Yu without thought when she had provoked him with her remarks.

Was he trying to teach her a lesson, or was he just being lecherous? Chu Yi had no answer to that.

Lu Liangwei was slightly astonished.

There were so many beauties last night. Zhao Qian had picked two of them at the start. Everyone had thought that he was going to use them to warm his bed, but he sent them to Wanyan Jin and Long Xiao in the end. Chu Yi and Chu Qi, however, did not even manage to pick any.

This was understandable with Chu Qi as he was still young, but it was different for Chu Yi.

This fellow had always been dreaming about marrying a pretty wife and yet, when the opportunity came for him last night, he did not even take anyone.

Were those beauties not pretty enough?

Naturally, that was not the case.

Even Lu Liangwei had to admit that those beauties last night came in all shapes and sizes. There were plump ones and skinny ones, and they hailed from different lands. As such, they all had different styles and characters, enough to fulfill any man’s desire for a woman.

However, none of them had caught Chu Yi’s eye!

“Why do you want to marry Zhu Yu? What did you see in her?” Lu Liangwei could not help asking

Chu Yi scratched his head. What did he see in Zhu Yu?

He was a little bewildered about this himself.

Lu Liangwei saw his hesitation and she frowned slightly. “Chu Yi, even though Zhu Yu is my maidservant, I treat her like my younger sister. Marriage is not a one-sided thing, it involves two people, not to mention the families. On top of that, marriage is a very sacred thing. If you want to marry Zhu Yu just for the sake of having a wife, I won’t be able to agree to this marriage.”
