Chapter 809 - 810 Expensive Rouge (5)
Du Ruohai sat in the chair, his face carved with a stiff smile, but inside he already felt as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis.
He truly didn’t want to agree to this marital affair, but Li Hai’s words had already clearly informed them that if the State Duke’s Mansion did not agree, Jin Guifei would definitely blame them.
Jin Guifei was a woman who had been favored by the Emperor all her life, her means and schemes were exceptionally formidable. If the State Duke’s Mansion displeased her, their death would not be far off, as she needed only to whisper a few words in the Emperor’s ear, and she could cause the State Duke’s Mansion to be reduced to ashes!
The expressions of the whole family were observed by Li Hai, who sneered mockingly, flicked his sleeve, and said lazily, "It’s getting late, The Za Family must return to the palace to report. In a moment when The Za Family sees the Empress, I will tell her that this marriage proposal is inappropriate, as the daughters of the State Duke’s Mansion do not wish to marry someone disabled, hehe..."
Speaking thus, he lifted his chin and stood up, intending to leave the place.
Upon seeing this, Du Yongbang could no longer care about his father and older brother’s intentions, and quickly stepped forward, standing in front of Li Hai, and said with an ingratiating smile, "Eunuch, please wait a moment, please sit down, let’s discuss this slowly!"
Li Hai glanced sideways at Du Ruohai and his son, and said with a mocking smile, "Forget it. Since both the Duke of the Country and Du Adult disdain our Mansion of Marquis Wuchang, what’s the use in discussing further? As the saying goes, a melon forced off its vine isn’t sweet. Since the mansion is unwilling, I might as well hurry back and report to the Empress!"
This statement terrified Du Ruohai and his son, disdaining the door of the Mansion of Marquis Wuchang! How could they dare to disdain the door of the Mansion of Marquis Wuchang? They knew well that Jin Guifei originated from the Mansion of Marquis Wuchang, even if they had ten heads, they wouldn’t dare to look down on the door of the Mansion of Marquis Wuchang!
Seeing that Li Hai was truly annoyed and even saying such words, Du Ruohai got so frightened that he couldn’t care about anything else and repeatedly bowed, saying, "Eunuch Li has exaggerated, our humble State Duke’s Mansion, how dare we look down on the Mansion of Marquis Wuchang? It’s killing us, oh, and please, help us convey to the Empress that the State Duke’s Mansion agrees to this marital affair, whenever she decides to carry out the marriage is fine..."
Upon hearing this, Li Hai’s anger turned to joy, and he said, "Ah, the Duke of the Country is truly an understanding man. Alright, let’s go back now. I’ll help her arrange the marriage, hehehe..."
Du Ruohai and Du Yongzhi accompanied him out with smiles, sending Li Hai off.
As soon as Li Hai left, the smiles on the faces of Du Ruohai and his son collapsed.
