Prince, You Are So Cheap Chapter 63

“Wait, who did you said is being granted a marriage again?”

Zhu WuXin asked, looking like she suddenly thought of something.

“Liu SuSu ah.”

Wakao, that’s why the name sounded so familiar.
Isn’t she the person HongSan was courting?

Does that means HongSan’s marriage proposal failed and the Prime Minister gotten anxious like ‘a cornered dog jumping over the wall’ 1 to give the Emperor that rotten idea?
Rather married off his daughter to a Prince than accepting HongSan’s proposal?

Thinking to this point, Zhu WuXin became a bit angered.
It felt like the Emperor is insisting to break up a good pair of couple.

Her brother HongSan is such a rare good man and a bachelor to boot, the Emperor actually wanted to ‘hit the mandarin ducks’ 2 and ruin her brother’s future.

HongSan as the man – uh, brother that she looked up upon, how can she tolerate his sweetheart being taken away!
So she decided to persuade Xiang Nuan to s.n.a.t.c.h the wedding.
Zhu WuXin thought for a long time, then gave Xiang Nuan a very good suggestion.

“How about you take Ning Lian Xia… that’s his name, right? You bundle him up like what you did to me, give him some drug and do something irreversible like ‘turning rice grain to cooked rice’ 3?”

Xiang Nuan’s face turned red, “No. If he doesn’t like me, how can I go out to see anyone in the future ah.”

“Then you chase him.”

“How to chase?”

“Bundle yourself up, and let him do the irreversible thing.”

“….”

Lian Xia who has just refilled his teacup, sprayed out his tea again. [Reaction picture here XD]
And ChunJun who has been expressionless all the while, has a faint smile on his face after hearing what Zhu WuXin said.

Urgently pressing Zhu WuXin for ideas, Xiang Nuan said, “Quickly think of a way for me. It must be constructive and feasible. Otherwise I can’t work on it ah.”

“This, he does not know you?” Zhu WuXin asked.

“He don’t know.”

Can you not talk nonsense, didn’t I told you it was a crush?
If he know who am I, it wouldn’t be a crush ah. (in Xiang Nuan’s heart)

“If you want to chase him, you need to hang out in front of him frequently. However, you are a dignified daughter of a minister, how to hang out without anyone knowing?”

Zhu WuXin thought for a while, “Alright, how about you go find a beggar from the streets, pretend he’s dead. Then, you go to ‘sell yourself to bury father’ 4 at his front door.”

“This…”

“Don’t hesitate anymore, action is better than hesitation. Go do it quickly.”

After saying that, Zhu WuXin started pushing Xiang Nuan towards the exit, hoping she will start taking actions immediately.
Xiang Nuan stopped moving and turned to WuXin, “You are not going with me?”

“Nonsense. You are the one chasing man, not me. What do I go joining it for?”
