C179 Asking about marriage

The day before yesterday, Duan Changge had met with Su Yi in private. At that time, Su Yi had not only informed the Fifth Prince about the scheme of taking bribes and reaping profits from it, he had also told him about the marriage between Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang that he had set up for the Fifth Prince.

During his travels outside the palace, Su Yi had known how much Duan Changge cherished this royal sister. From the description that he gave of Duan Yunfei, he could imagine just what kind of extraordinary woman she was.

When the Fifth Prince found out about Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang's marriage, he immediately called for Su Yi, hoping that he would think of a way to stop it. After hearing Duan Yunfei's name, Su Yi was startled, because of Duan Changge's relationship with him, Su Yi was naturally unwilling to trap Duan Yunfei, but if he did not do so, the Fifth Prince would become suspicious, and at that time, Su Yi would not be able to help him.

After considering it, Su Yi still offered his services to the Fifth Prince, but that would be at the expense of Mu Chuyang and the Prince Mu's Mansion's reputation. At that time, Su Yi had already thought about the current situation he was in. He had calculated the time when Duan Changge would return to the palace, calculated that if Duan Yunfei who was in the palace investigated, he would easily know that all of this was the Fifth Prince's doing.

Everything was prepared except for Dong Feng, Su Yi was waiting for the meeting with Duan Changge.

When Duan Changge told him that he planned for Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang's wedding, Duan Changge was furious. Putting aside the fact that Duan Yunfei was different from the others, this rumor did not only affect the reputation of the Prince Mu's Mansion, it also made the reputation of the Imperial Family look ridiculous in the eyes of the commoners.

Although Duan Changge did not care about the matters of the court, as a member of the royal family, he valued the reputation of the family more than his own life.

Furthermore, it could be said that Duan Changge had been looking forward to the marriage engagement for many years. When Mu Chuyang had just revealed his faintly discernible feelings for Duan Yunfei, Duan Changge had already noticed it. Thinking about the friendship between Duan Yunfei and his childhood sweetheart, Duan Changge felt extremely at ease to leave his own royal sister in Mu Chuyang's care.

Rumors spread through the streets and alleys, and even outside the palace. At least Yuwen Di was dissatisfied with the Prince Mu's Mansion because of this, but at most, the marriage might be annulled because of this. Duan Changge did not wish to see either of these two situations.

But when he thought back to how Su Yi was facing a dilemma and how he had thought so much about the future, Duan Changge didn't have any reason to blame him.

Moreover, Su Yi himself wasn't a subordinate of Duan Changge. Previously, when he had accepted the Fifth Prince's recruitment and went to be the Fifth Prince's advisor, it was all at Su Yi's own choice. As matters stood, Duan Changge could not take it for granted that Su Yi was doing something for him.

Amidst their laughter, Duan Changge gently passed the matter over, and told Su Yi that he did not need to care about this, because he would take care of Duan Yunfei.

However, looking at Duan Yunfei now, Duan Changge felt that he had brought harm to Duan Yunfei and without his knowledge.

"Yun Fei, you should be able to tell royal brother how you and Chu Yang got engaged now, right?"

Duan Changge tried to not think about his guilt towards Duan Yunfei and used this opportunity to ask about the things that had happened between Duan Yunfei and him during this period of time.

Duan Yunfei originally thought that she wouldn't hear of Mu Chuyang's name again today, but she didn't expect that Duan Changge would actually ask him how he and Mu Chuyang had reached such a state.

"What happened today?" Duan Yunfei thought in her heart, how on earth did she and Mu Chuyang come to this kind of rigid step?

"Don't tell me royal brother is confused? Since it's a betrothal, then it must be royal father's decree. Royal brother, do you have anything else to ask?"

Duan Yunfei attempted to use Yuwen Di to fight against this calamity. Otherwise, with Duan Changge's personality, she might be able to make Duan Yunfei start from the beginning, and as to when this "head" started, it all depended on Duan Changge's will. If he wanted to hear it, Duan Yunfei had to start from the first day that she knew Mu Chuyang. As for this conclusion, it was probably the most recent thing that Duan Changge knew.

"Girl, don't think you can fool your royal brother. Imperial brother, don't you know that this is royal father's decree? But for your marriage, royal father will definitely treat you as his master, and will definitely not betroth you to his wife. Otherwise, this marriage of yours would have already been decided, and it wouldn't wait until now. "

Duan Changge seemed to have unintentionally revealed the thought of betrothing Duan Yunfei to Mu Chuyang a long time ago, only, Duan Yunfei had not realized how Mu Chuyang felt about him, and did not realize that under her situation, there were already many people who were anxious about her and Mu Chuyang's marriage.

The firelight made Duan Yunfei's face flush red, as if she was extremely embarrassed. However, Duan Yunfei did not feel that way right now.

It had to be known that Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang could be said to be in a state of cold war and stalemate. Under such a situation, how could Duan Yunfei use her normal heart to tell Duan Changge everything that had happened during this period of time? Duan Yunfei couldn't do it.

"Royal brother, don't worry about Yun Fei anymore. When the time for your marriage is decided, I will definitely tell you everything. What do you think?"

"Royal brother, I'm concerned about your marriage, but you're actually plotting something small, and even thinking of making a deal with him. You're quite capable, little girl. How could you be so smart?"

Duan Changge pinched Duan Yunfei's face, her face was full of smiles.

In this lifetime, if he did not meet the people he truly liked, Duan Changge would never marry. To Duan Changge, getting married meant taking someone he loved. If he couldn't do it like that, then why did he have to find someone to tie him up with? It just didn't seem worth it.

Duan Yunfei made a face at Duan Changge, "Who asked royal brother to not marry for such a long time, the fifth sister-in-law is already five months old, royal brother, how are you not anxious at all?"

"Marriage is something that depends on fate. Just like you and Chu Yang, it's because of fate, and because of our mutual love, royal father agreed to let you two marry each other. You, ah, still don't understand."

Although Duan Changge had never experienced such things, he had also seen various kinds of love during his travels. This made him even more resolute in his conviction.

"Yes, yes, yes. What royal brother said is very true. Yun Fei will definitely take it to heart."

"Enough, today, royal brother's goal has been accomplished, so I won't disturb your rest any longer." Duan Changge realized that Duan Yunfei was not in her condition today, so he left early to allow him a good rest.
