Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 514 - 514 505 Showing Weakness

?Chapter 514: Chapter 505: Showing Weakness Chapter 514: Chapter 505: Showing Weakness The two chatted idly for a while, then Chu Hua, giggling, nestled into Chen Afu’s arm and said, “My grandmother asked me to inquire whether the third sister from your sister-in-law’s maiden house has been engaged yet…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Afu really wanted to uphold her dignity, but couldn’t bring herself to do so. The Xies now sensed impending victory over the rebellion and saw that a daughter of the Chus would soon become the prince’s wife. With Chen Shiying highly regarded by the Crown Prince and likely to be summoned to the Capital City for an official appointment, they seemed to be re-evaluating Chen Yuqing once again with the intention of marriage.

Yet, Chen Afu truly lacked the confidence to assert herself. Xie Feng, the Fifth Master Xie, had managed to pass the autumn examinations this year. Though dark-skinned, he was tall and handsome. If Chen Yuqing, who was of marriageable age, missed out on him, she might not find another match who was as reputable, handsome, talented, and amiable as Xie Feng.

She smiled and replied, “The other day, I received a letter from my parents saying there are several good family matches they are considering, but nothing is decided yet…”
Chu Hua urged, “Oh dear, do send a letter to Mr. Chen soon. We wouldn’t want him to already have someone in mind by the time we proceed, causing my Fifth Uncle to miss out.” She then started persuading on behalf of Fifth Master Xie, “The only reason my Fifth Uncle hasn’t married at such an age is because he’s chosen the path of imperial examinations. Our elders want him to marry a daughter from an official family. If he were to marry a daughter from a military family, he would have been engaged long ago.”

Chen Afu nodded and chuckled, “Fine, I’ll write a letter tonight and have someone deliver it to Dingzhou tomorrow.”

Chu Hua then gossipingly shared, “I heard from my father-in-law that everyone in the court is saying Mr. Chen will return to become an official in the Capital City next year, definitely as Vice Minister, but it is still unclear whether it will be the Ministry of Personnel or Ministry of Industry.”
