Chapter 1245 Loyal Dogs are raised according to the rules 08

Zhou Guide brought his rebellious son in and wanted to say a few words of greeting first, but unexpectedly he saw Jinchen sitting in the main seat, and his heart sank with fear.

The Xu family is really angry! They even invited His Royal Highness to come and support them!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

When Zhou Guide was performing the ceremony, he did not forget to observe Jinchen's expression, but he could not see anything.

The more this happened, the more uncertain Zhou Guide felt.

"Get up."

Jinchen picked up a piece of cake and ate it, glanced at the reluctant Zhou Zhihong, and then looked at Zhou Guide.

"What are you doing here, Uncle Zhou?"

"This... is of course about the engagement."

Zhou Guide sighed, feeling unwell. "I had official business a few days ago and just came back from Luzhou County. I never thought something like this would happen."

God knows how shocked he was when he saw the garden full of "young master's concubines" in his own house.

As a marriage arranged by the emperor, even if one wants to take a concubine, one must wait half a year after the wedding. Moreover, since it is a man's marriage, there is no such thing as husband's family or wife's family. He has to establish his own household.

What Zhou Zhihong did was totally against the rules and almost pissed Zhou Guide off to death.

Zhou Guide also watched Xu Huaiyu grow up. Now that this kind of thing has happened, he can only curse inwardly why his youngest son has suddenly become useless.

Xu Qiongyin adjusted her hairpin, her eyebrows sharp, "Although our two families are on good terms, the marriage contract is entirely up to my son."

"My Xu family has never and will never accept anyone who is unfaithful in love. You can do whatever you want."

She was tough in her attitude, and Fu Xiuming had always been the good guy, but today he actually said, "Madam is right."

At this point, Zhou Guide could only ask Xu Huaiyu, "Huaiyu, what do you think?"

Xu Huaiyu stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhou Guide. After his confession just now, he had calmed down a lot.

Zhou Zhihong is no longer the childhood sweetheart he once admired. In this case, it would be better for them to live in peace.

"Uncle Zhou, since Mr. Zhou Er does not take the engagement seriously, it would be better to break off the engagement peacefully. This will also fulfill his wish of enjoying the happiness of having two wives."

But even though he was thinking this, when he said it out loud, Xu Huaiyu's mind was filled with scenes of their past interactions.

Tears still couldn't help but fall out.

"This……"

Zhou Guide had already guessed that this was the worst outcome, but deep down he still wanted to fight for it.

"After all, it's the emperor who arranged the marriage. Maybe this kid is just bewitched for the time being. Can your uncle help you to change your mind?"

Jin Chen spoke up at the right time, "Uncle Zhou, given his current behavior, he may not change even if you beat him to death."

Zhou Zhihong: “…”

He was so angry, "Who are you scolding?"

"Which man here doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Why do you ask me to...ah!"

Zhou Guide was so scared that he kicked him to the ground, "Asshole! Who do you think you are talking to?"

It would have been fine if they were on good terms before, but now the prince obviously wants to support Xu Huaiyu, how dare Zhou Zhihong do that!

If this precious baby gets angry and the prince blames him, he might even lose his official position.

Jinchen grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Zhou Zhihong, "You're done!"

The fragments shattered, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, leaving only Jinchen's angry voice.

"I'm going to go back and complain to my father. You called him a coward."

Everyone in the room: !!!

Wow! What a big pot!

Zhou Guide was so frightened that he knelt down in a cold sweat.

"You are taking advantage of your power to bully others! When did I say that? That's not what I meant at all!" Zhou Zhihong glared angrily.

Jin Chen rolled his eyes and leaned over to look at him, "This prince is not easy to mess with. Did you just find out today?"

"If it weren't for the fact that your skin hasn't changed, I would really wonder if you've become a different person."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Huaiyu's tears stopped immediately, and the doubts that had been blocking his heart for a long time suddenly cleared up.

His eyes flickered, and he looked at Zhou Zhihong again with a free and easy gaze.

He is not... Zhou Zhihong.

Good thing he is not Zhou Zhihong.

Xu Huaiyu took a deep breath and listened to Uncle Zhou's puzzled explanation and the rage of the man pretending to be Zhou Zhihong.

Everyone treated what the cousin said just now as a joke.

Xu Huaiyu secretly looked at Jinchen and finally smiled.

Jin Chen waved his sleeves, "Today's matter is settled. Uncle Zhou, take your rebellious son back. I will explain the reason to the Emperor's uncle and will never implicate the Zhou family."

When Zhou Guide saw that things had come to this point, he knew that it was too late to save the situation.

He sighed and shook his head, then left with Zhou Zhihong, feeling deeply disappointed.

In the past, among the three sons, the youngest son was the one who needed the least worry. Before he was even a young man, he was already proficient in both literature and martial arts, and was also appreciated by the emperor.

How did it become like this?

"I've already told you there's no need to come. It doesn't matter if this marriage doesn't happen," Zhou Zhihong snorted coldly. "Father, I have many ways to help the Zhou family move to a higher level. Please give me more money. I want to open a shop."

"what?!"

Zhou Guide's lips trembled. "Instead of studying hard at home and preparing for the imperial examination next year, you actually want to open a shop? Is that what you should do?"

"Why not? Doesn't the Xu family also run a shop?"

"You are confused!" Zhou Guide pointed at his head and cursed, "The Xu family is the royal merchant! There are only a few in the entire Yangzhou... no, there are only a few in the Sixteen States, and they are all headed by the Xu family."

"The head of the Xu family is Princess Han, how can you compare?"

It is said that scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are the five classes of people. Without the title of royal family, opening a shop in the name of a disciple of the scholar family is no different from lowering one's status.

"Old and pedantic..." Zhou Zhihong muttered a few words, waved his sleeves and left, showing no respect at all.

Zhou Guide was so angry that he almost fell over without getting on the carriage.

"Hey, Uncle Zhou, please be careful."

Liu Chengze came to look for someone carrying a beautiful little birdcage. When he saw Zhou Guide standing next to the carriage at the door, he quickly went to help him.

"What happened to you today? My father said you were in good health."

"Nothing, nothing."

Zhou Guide sighed again, waved his sleeves and walked into the carriage.

"What a strange thing." Liu Chengze scratched his head, "Could it be that we couldn't reach an agreement on the betrothal gift with the Xu family?"

"Master, it seems to be because of Master Zhou's romantic debts during this period."

After hearing the servant's reminder, Liu Chengze finally remembered, "Yes! They are not here to break off the engagement!"

Liu Chengze hurriedly picked up the birdcage and rushed to Xu's house without asking the servants to inform them. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Jinchen and Xu Huaiyu seemed to be talking about something.

"Brother Chen! Huaiyu!"

Liu Chengze immediately forgot what happened just now and said, "Come and see, I just got a beautiful green parakeet. It's so pretty and smart!"
