Chapter 461 - 440: Second Update
Zheng Nianru was unhappy, and the entire Zheng Prince’s Mansion was also unhappy, treading on thin ice with bated breath.
Prince Duan paced in front of Zheng Nianru’s courtyard seven or eight times that day, still not daring to enter. Cursing the untrustworthy Ju Nanyi, he also felt that perhaps Ju Nanyi wasn’t a suitable match after all, since he was now the Crown Prince’s trusted aide, busy with affairs and in a perilous position.
But aside from this matter, Prince Duan had other thoughts on his mind.
"My lord, my lord, don’t be anxious. I’ve heard that Lord Ju went to the official matchmaker today—" Housekeeper He hurried back, barely managing to grasp this information, and upon hearing it Prince Duan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Exactly, exactly, the matchmaker, how had he not thought of that?
As for the situation in the Ju household, how could Prince Duan not be aware? There was only a widowed mother left, and the meager family assets were nothing to speak of. Now that Ju had considered visiting the matchmaker showed he indeed put thought into it.
"Housekeeper, you also need to speed things up. Gather up those items from the storeroom, after all, that young man’s family doesn’t have deep pockets." He couldn’t allow Nianru to suffer hardships, nor could he allow her to be wronged.
"Don’t worry, Your Highness, about these matters." They had already been gathered twice; in total, there were just so many items in the storeroom, some of which had been forcefully stuffed in there by others. Although Housekeeper He was elderly, he wasn’t confused. Yet there was still one matter he hesitated over for a long time, unsure whether to discuss it with the Prince.
But after all, this was just his speculation.
