Chapter 1505 - 319, Engagement (Part 3, Second Scene)
Lin Yuan covered her lips, stealing a laugh but still rolled her eyes and snorted, "Look at how generous you are! Haven’t you always been a money-grubber? You’re so tightfisted you probably wish you could tie your money pouch to your waist at all times!"
Xia Zheng’s eyes widened as he looked at her, an expression of ’Am I really like that?’ across his face.
Lin Yuan pushed away his handsome face that had inched towards her own, and talked business: "Waiting for big brother to come back for the engagement seems a bit rushed. Isn’t the Crown Prince of Xiliang coming with him too?"
That was indeed the case. With Xia Zhen bringing back an army, naturally, he wouldn’t return as quickly as Xia Zheng by himself. Counting the days, it would still be half a month’s wait. That means the engagement would be postponed until mid-winter.
Plus, the Crown Prince of Xiliang’s marriage was pending, and with Yao Hanai’s incident, the choice of the bride was still up in the air. It appeared that the Crown Prince of Xiliang would have to spend the New Year in Dayong.
Xia Zheng pursed his lips, huffed and said, "Let him come! Not to mention an uncrowned prince, even if it were Prince Xiliang himself, nothing could stop me from getting married!"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Good, then we’ll just ignore that Crown Prince of Xiliang and decide on our own matters."
"Right. I’ll talk to mother, and we can set the engagement for winter or at the end of the year!"
