The Commandery Princess lamented with a sour feeling in her heart.
Chu Yu walked over to the Commandery Princess’s side and gently embraced her, "Aunt, you are not old at all. Haven’t you noticed? Your hair has gotten darker, and the wrinkles on your face have diminished."
"Your words are always so sweet, but I’m much more at ease now that your cousin Yan has recovered."
She knew more clearly that if it hadn’t been for meeting Yun Jinnian, she probably wouldn’t have made it through that ordeal.
And in a dazed state, she could feel that she had died.
Having lived for so many years, she had seen a lot and experienced much. Regarding matters of the supernatural, she was always half-believing, half-doubting.
Moreover, had it not been for meeting Yun Jinnian, the poison in Xiao Wu’s body would not have been curable.
"What do I need to bring to the Yun Family to propose marriage?" Chu Yu earnestly asked.
"You don’t know this either? I’ll have Madam Song write a list for you later, but you must prepare a pair of living geese!"
"Is there anything else?" Chu Yu asked eagerly.
The Commandery Princess couldn’t help but laugh, "You impetuous boy, why the rush? Take it one step at a time. Once Madam Song gives you the list, take it home and have someone prepare the items. Of course, if you want to make a grand proposal, ensure that the gifts are more exquisite and valuable. Later on, Mrs. Han will prepare Jinnian’s dowry, and these gifts will certainly be included. You won’t have to worry about anyone switching them out!"
Everyone among the prominent households in the Capital City was aware of Mrs. He’s actions.
Thus, most people scorned the idea of associating with her.
Yet Mrs. He had no self-awareness, persistently and shamelessly clinging to others.
Seemingly not considering that her family still had two sons and two daughters to marry off.
"Aunt, you’re right to remind me!"
"Alright, go and find your cousin Yan to play. I need to talk with Madam Song for a moment!"
After Chu Yu left, the Commandery Princess sighed, "He has finally grown up, after all!"
Madam Song offered a slight smile.
Only then did the Commandery Princess ask, "How is the butler Madam selected for Ming’er coming along with her training?"
"Your Highness can rest assured, the training is complete. If Your Highness is still worried, this servant can accompany her at first. Once the Commandery Princess has settled in, this servant will return!"
Upon hearing this, the Commandery Princess pondered for a moment before saying, "That seems like a good idea. You should go along and have a look. I’ve always felt there’s something odd about this marriage!"
"This servant also finds it odd and suggests perhaps we should have someone investigate?" Madam Song hinted with a question.
"Have someone look into it. See if Old Madam Ma is actually ill, and why not, if she isn’t?"
"And about the maids, pick a few carefully. Make sure they aren’t all just thinking about climbing into the master’s bed—hearts loyal and true are what we need." The Commandery Princess paused briefly, "As for looks, they shouldn’t be too shabby either. Choose a few pretty ones. I believe anyone with eyes will know who is better!"
"Your Highness, don’t worry, this servant has noted everything. The maids that will accompany the dowry have been seen and approved by the Commandery Princess herself. Shall we call them over for you to take a look another day?"
The Commandery Princess waved her hand, "No need. Your and Ming’er’s judgement is sound enough!"
"You flatter me, Your Highness!"
Chu Yu slowly made his way to Prince Yanjun’s courtyard.
Since the Commandery Princess was present, he hadn’t moved out yet and wasn’t married, the entire courtyard was very quiet.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you really live a leisurely life!"
Prince Yanjun looked up at Chu Yu and slightly curved his lips, then gestured to the seat in front of him.
After Chu Yu sat down, he said, "I truly envy you!"
