Chapter 620 - Very Good
"Uncle Yu, please don't worry about it! If my parents opposed, then they wouldn't have treated her that well at her coming of age ceremony! I have been chasing after the little lass every day for a while now, so my lord father and lady mother have already acknowledged it. You have no idea how much my lady mother cherishes her. She has long urged me to marry her!"
Princess Consort Jing worried that her son wouldn't be able to find a suitable woman to marry due to Zhu Junyang's violent and cruel temper. She even feared that even if he did, he might accidentally injure his wife or even worse...
But Xiaocao's appearance finally allowed Princess Consort Jing to see the light. The little girl was able to stop her son from losing his temper and as a result, her son's violent temper gradually became more and more gentle. In the past two years, Zhu Junyang didn't even lose control of his temper once. Princess Consort Jing would pray in the estate's ancestral hall multiple times over the years. She believed that Xiaocao was someone sent by the heavens to help redeem her son and that they were a match made in heaven. She was extremely relieved that her son didn't have to live the rest of his life in solidarity!
If it weren't because of Xiaocao's young age, she would've urged the two to get married a long time ago. Then, they would be able to give birth to a few small buns for her to play with. When her son was still young, he was extremely clever and cute, so she believed that her grandchildren wouldn't be lacking! She dearly wished for her son to give her beautiful and clever grandchildren soon!
It didn't matter what your identity or status was because once you reached a certain age, you would definitely look forward to having more grandchildren and a peaceful family. Princess Consort Jing was reaching fifty years old, but under Xiaocao's careful hands, she didn't look a day over thirty. Even so, it was impossible for her not to become envious when she saw others play with and spoil their grandchildren.
It was a pity that her only grandson from her eldest son was taught by the strict Imperial Prince Jing. As a result, her grandson acted like an old man even though he was still tender in age, so he wasn't cute at all. Her second son, who was twenty-five years old now, was still in the military. She didn't even see a shadow of a potential daughter-in-law from her second son. She was worried to death about his future!
She was originally most worried about her youngest son, but he managed to find himself a potential wife early on. It was a pity that his potential daughter-in-law was still too young. She had eagerly waited for her for six to seven years, and now, her potential daughter-in-law finally reached marriageable age. But why did her youngest son have to listen to the emperor's idea and wait until she was eighteen to get married?! When would she finally be able to carry her sweet and adorable little grandchild in her arms?!
She wasn't concerned about Xiaocao's family background and whatnot. Imperial Prince Jing will unconditionally like whatever Princess Consort Jing liked. Once Zhu Junyang got married, he would move into the royal prince estate that was bestowed to him by the emperor. As such, the opinions of her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law didn't matter!
Zhu Junyang had taken care of all the potential problems for Xiaocao. He had been guarding her for so many years, so how could he allow his soon-to-be wife to receive the slightest injustice? Therefore, all the concerns that the Yu Family had for Xiaocao's future was unnecessary.
The Yu Family secretly breathed a sigh of relief after all their worries were resolved. They agreed that on the second day of February, Imperial Prince Jing's Household could come to propose marriage
While Zhu Junyang was discussing his marriage proposal with the Yu Family, Xiaocao led her maid out of the room and headed for the main kitchen. She instructed them to make Little Shitou's favorite dishes. When she looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting dark soon, she realized that Zhu Junyang was probably going to stay for dinner too. So, she instructed the kitchen staff to include a few dishes that Zhu Junyang liked to eat.
