If not abolished

Chapter 104 Lovers eventually become brothers and sisters

"Have you heard? Jining city is quite lively recently?" Passerby A said while eating melon seeds.

Passerby B, eating melon, chimed in: "I heard about it, I heard about it, is it about the Du and Hu families?"

"Yes, yes, that's right, the story of the young master of the Du family and the third young lady of the Hu family becoming brother and sister."

"Oh, this is really unexpected. I thought the two families were going to get married. Why did they suddenly become brother and sister with such fanfare?"

"I heard," the man looked around, "I also heard that the two families originally wanted to get married, but later on, I don't know what happened, but they said that the two people didn't like each other, so in order to save face, the two families decided to have brother and sister."

"Who doesn't like whom?" the man asked curiously.

"This one……"

"Hey, hey, are you going to buy this melon or not? If not, I won't let you taste it?"

"This one I just ate is okay, but it's not sweet enough. Can you guarantee that this melon is ripe? What if it's not ripe when I buy it?"

"I have been selling melons for many years. I guarantee they are ripe. If they are not ripe, come find me tomorrow." The vendor made the promise.

"Then take two bags."

Recently, people in Jining City have been discussing the interesting stories between the Hu and Du families.

"Miss, has the old lady really agreed to let you and Mr. Du become brother and sister?" Lingzhi asked curiously. Didn't Yizhi say at the beginning that he wanted to marry Mr. Du to you? How did they suddenly become brother and sister?

"It was proposed by the old lady of the Du family. Grandmother is still considering it, but I think she will agree. We still have to give face to the Du family."

"not understand."

"Of course you don't understand. The Du family doesn't have to marry me. They just have their eyes on our family's power. As long as they can achieve their goal, it doesn't matter whether we become husband and wife or siblings. The main thing is to get on this boat." Hu Shanxiang didn't expect that the Du family would give up before the marriage, but they even thought of the idea of ​​siblings. It seems that the Du family has to get on this line with her family.

"I don't understand all these twists and turns. In short, the young lady and Mr. Du are no longer destined to be together, right?"

"We are destined to be brother and sister." Hu Shanxiang said with a smile.

"Young lady, you have such a good attitude. Yesterday, Master Du came to see you. I saw that Master Du seemed to be unable to let go of it for a while."

"We only met once, so what happened?" Hu Shanxiang was puzzled. But it was true that Mrs. Du brought Du Ruheng to talk about their marriage yesterday, and Du Ruheng found an opportunity to come to see her.

The situation at that time.

"Hu... Third sister." Du Ruheng thought of their current relationship and quickly changed his words.

"Mr. Du."

"For what happened last time, I apologize to you on behalf of Ruyun. She..."

"That has nothing to do with Sister Ruyun, and she helped me out at the time, so I should be thanking her." Hu Shanxiang interrupted him. "Did Mr. Du ask me to come here just to apologize for his sister?"

"I... I originally wanted to say something to you, but after talking to you, it seems that those words are not appropriate to say, so I don't know how to start." Du Ruheng wanted to express his regret and wanted her to understand his feelings, but when he saw her, he realized that what would happen if he said it? It couldn't change the current situation.

"Since it is inappropriate to say this, Brother Ruheng, please don't say it. Otherwise, it will only cause trouble to both parties and will be of no benefit." Hu Shanxiang probably knew what was being said and there was no need to listen whether she wanted to or not.

"Third sister is right. That's the truth." Du Ruheng felt upset, but he also understood that Hu Shanxiang was right. Speaking out would only add to their troubles.

"I've been out for a long time. I have to go back. Goodbye, Brother Ruheng." Hu Shanxiang said goodbye to him.

"Goodbye."

After walking a few steps, Hu Shanxiang turned around and saw that Du Ruheng had not yet turned around to leave. She added: "I hope Brother Ruheng will find his own happiness in the future."

"Thanks, you too."

Du Ruheng watched her leave until he could no longer see her.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji also knew about this.

"The Du family is really good at learning from this." Zhu Zhanji guessed that day that the marriage between the Hu and Du families would probably not work. He never expected that the Du family would be able to bend and stretch and come up with this.

"Your Highness can rest assured now. No one is watching Miss Hu San anymore." Wu Cheng said happily.

"It's just temporary. Who knows if someone else will show up by then?"

"Then Your Highness, please take some action quickly." Wu Cheng urged. Didn't Your Highness come all the way from the capital just for Miss Hu San?

"Don't you know what you said?" The main thing is that Zhu Zhanji has never chased anyone in his past and present lives. It has always been others who came to him, so there is no need for him to chase. He can be said to be able to do everything, but this pursuit seems to fall into his blind spot of knowledge, just like before, he scared people away. This time he dare not act rashly, he must plan carefully.

杜府

Du Ruyun couldn't understand why her grandmother and father had to be associated with the Hu family. Brothers and sisters? Really...

When Pan Du Tong found out that he had no chance to become related to the Hu family, he rarely got angry at home.

When Mr. Du found out, he felt depressed instantly and he hasn’t recovered yet.

"Young master, you are distracted again. This is the eighth time you have been distracted today. You never acted like this before." The servant boy at the side reminded him. The young master has been restless in the past two days and is not in a good state to study.

"Forget it, I won't write anymore." Du Ruheng put down his pen. He was in no state to study.

He was in a daze for a long time, and this continued for several days. Du Ruheng realized that he could not go on like this, so he went to find his father.

"Father, I have something to discuss with you." Du Ruheng came to his father's study.

Seeing his son being so serious, Judge Du asked sternly, "What do you say?"

"Recently, my son has been unable to concentrate on his studies because of some trivial matters, so after thinking for a long time, I finally decided to go out and travel for a while, firstly to calm his mind, and secondly to understand the world and train himself."

"Well, if you have made up your mind, go ahead." Du Tongpan had suggested to his son that he should go out for a walk before. It was useless to study hard in the academy at home, but his mother was reluctant to let her grandson go, and his son didn't really want to go far away. Since he wanted to go out, he naturally supported him strongly.

"Thank you father."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. You still need to talk to your grandmother and mother about this matter. You can go if they agree." Judge Du reminded him that there were two other people.

"Well...how about father help me talk to my grandmother and mother..."

"Well, my father has some things to do, and the government office has some things to do. I'm leaving first. Remember to tell him." Before Du Ruheng could finish his words, Du Tongpan ran away.

"Father..." Du Ruheng tried to hold him back but failed, so he had to go face his grandmother and the others alone.

Du Ruheng was ready to talk for a while, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished expressing his idea, his grandmother agreed. He was stunned on the spot and all the prepared remarks were useless.

"Why are you still so dumbfounded, kid?" Madam Du looked at her grandson, who looked surprised. "You thought your grandmother wouldn't agree. You are old enough now, you should go out and gain some experience. Grandmother won't stop you this time, go ahead."

"Grandma." Du Ruheng was very moved.

By the time Hu Shanxiang learned the news, Du Ruheng had already left. This news was told to him by Zhu Zhanji. Yes, the two of them had met several times during this period.

Zhu Zhanji did his homework this time. He investigated everything Hu Shanxiang liked to do and catered to her preferences.

"I know you like to listen to storytelling. Tickets for this storyteller are hard to buy. Every time he performs, the seats are always full."

"Don't talk for now, you won't be able to hear me later." The meeting was about to begin, but Zhu Zhanji kept talking in her ear, so Hu Shanxiang stopped immediately.

"Okay." Zhu Zhanji is now like a little wife.

Before, Wu Cheng was shocked to see Hu Shanxiang talking to His Royal Highness like this, but later he saw that His Royal Highness was not angry at all and was happy with it, so he got used to it. As expected, when facing the one he likes, it is really different from how he treated Miss Sun before.

"Wait, what did you just say?" Hu Shanxiang suddenly turned around and asked.

"This storyteller is good and his tickets are hard to buy," Zhu Zhanji repeated.

"Not this one, the previous one." Hu Shanxiang continued to ask.

"Previous sentence," Zhu Zhanji thought carefully, "Oh, your brother Du left Jining a few days ago."

"Why did you leave suddenly?" Hu Shanxiang didn't hear anything.

"I don't know?" Zhu Zhanji was not interested in knowing the reason, although he roughly guessed it.

"Don't you live next door? How come you don't know?" Hu Shanxiang complained.

"I live next door, not here to monitor or eavesdrop." Zhu Zhanji was speechless.

Because of this news, Hu Shanxiang has been a little absent-minded. Zhu Zhanji thought that he should not have said this earlier. He was just too quick to speak. Why did he bring up his rival in advance for no reason?

Hu Shanxiang later figured it out. Now she and Du Ruheng have no interaction. Perhaps he just wants to leave for a while. Reunion and separation are the norm in life.

After listening to the storytelling, Zhu Zhanji took her to a restaurant for dinner.

"These are all their new dishes. You can try them and see if they are delicious." These days, Zhu Zhanji discovered that Hu Shanxiang's other hobby was eating delicious food, so whenever any restaurant in the city had new dishes, he would bring her to try them.

"Your Highness is too relaxed this time. He just eats, drinks and has fun every day." Hu Shanxiang had thought that Zhu Zhanji's travel was just an excuse and that he must have some serious work to do. But she didn't expect that he really had nothing to do every day. He took her out to play every few days, and she didn't have as much free time as him.

"My main mission this time is for you, there is nothing else." Zhu Zhanji said as he picked up some food for her.

"Your Highness, you are joking. I am not worthy of your concern." Hu Shanxiang didn't know how to deal with this matter. To put it bluntly, she hadn't thought it through yet.
