Chapter 948 - 950: Meeting the Parents-in-law (5)
"What? She said the same thing?" Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du were a bit stunned.
"Indeed, not only that, she forbade me from taking concubines, even a chambermaid is not allowed!"
Nangong Yi picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip, his face brimming with a smile.
At this, Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du were even more bewildered, "Then why is she still with you?"
"It’s simple!"
Nangong Yi set down the teacup, looked at Mu Zhongqing and his wife with a magnanimous gaze, "I agreed to her demands, and only then was she willing to be with me!"
"This, this is impossible, Your Highness, you must be joking!"
Not taking concubines, not even having a chambermaid, how could that be? It wasn’t just Mu Zhongqing and Lady Du who didn’t believe it, even Auntie Liu who was serving by the side couldn’t believe it.
However, Nangong Yi said, "Before I met her, I also thought it was impossible, but after I had her, I realized that all the women in the world are just her foil. If I say I will marry only her in this lifetime, the two seniors here would not believe me and think I, Nangong Yi, am lying. Therefore, I will inform the Imperial Father and Imperial Mother and within three days, come to your mansion to propose. By then, the parents-in-law will see my sincerity!"
Mu Zhongqing did not expect Nangong Yi to say these words, and even less did he expect him to come to their house to propose within three days. He immediately became excited and said, "In that case, I will wait at home for King Qin’s arrival. I will not break my promise; if King Qin truly seeks my daughter’s hand in marriage as his official wife, I am willing to give her away!"
