Chapter 716: Do people like you?

Before I could clean the tea leaves off my body, the feather duster came again.

Mo Beihan had no choice but to raise his arms to protect his head and face, while hopping around the tables and chairs like a rabbit to avoid his grandfather's loving whipping, he pleaded for mercy:

"Grandfather, please calm down, calm down! Please don't get sick from anger, I will be sad for your grandson! Please stop and listen to my explanation! I didn't squander all the family fortune, I used it to pay for the consultation! In your heart, are those worldly possessions not as important as the life of your only grandson? I am repaying Miss Qiao for saving my life!"

"You're talking nonsense! Don't give me those lame excuses! How can you die so easily after being poisoned for so many years? If you want to repay me, why don't you repay me with your own body?"

Mo Beihan finally snatched the feather duster from his grandfather's hand, and coaxed him to sit down, smiling smugly:

"Grandfather, why are you scolding yourself? If I am a little bastard, what are you? And, how did you know that I didn't pledge my love to you? But Miss Qiao doesn't care about anything! She only cares about gold, silver and jewelry. What can I do? If she didn't want those farms and other things, I would have packed them all up and given them to her."

Hearing this, the old prince was so angry that he wanted to pick up the teapot and throw it at him again. Mo Beihan quickly apologized with a smile and carefully took the teapot down.

The old prince glared at his grandson with disdain:

"What else can you do besides being a chatterbox? No one wants you even if you offer your body to me, and you still have the nerve to say that? You don't mind being ashamed, but I feel ashamed for you!"

Mo Beihan curled his lips and retorted:

"Who said no one wants me? There are many noble ladies in the capital who want to marry me, but I just don't like them. I like Miss Qiao, who is not tempted by beauty, is calm and sticks to her principles!"

"Humph, look at what you have accomplished!"

Rolling his eyes, the old prince simply couldn't stand his arrogant look.

How come my grandson, who has always been cold and arrogant and keeps women at a distance, becomes so worthless after meeting that little girl named Qiao?

But it’s okay this way, as long as there is someone you like.

Otherwise, he would think that this boy didn't like women, and he would be worried that the royal line would be extinct!

Ever since he received the letter from home, the old prince has become curious.

What kind of magic power does that little girl named Qiao have that can make her grandson, who never looks at women in the eye, fall so in love with her?

"You like her, but does she like you? Don't be so wishful that I, an old man, would have to leave my military affairs and come back to help her. If she doesn't like you, I'm afraid it won't work even if you throw yourself at her!"

The old prince asked a key question.

From the letter, one could only tell that his grandson had fallen in love with the little girl, but it did not reveal how she treated him.

In the past two days since he came back, he also asked Butler Zhou about it. Judging from the dating history between his grandson and that girl, the girl didn't seem to be interested in his grandson.

So he was a little worried, hoping that he wouldn't be too enthusiastic.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the smile on his grandson's face become even brighter. He looked so excited that those who didn't know would think he had obtained some rare treasure!

"Grandfather, I was just about to tell you! On the way back, I have captured Uncle Qiao and Miss Qiao! They have agreed to marry into our palace. Grandfather, you are back just in time, go to the Qiao family and propose marriage tomorrow!"

"Really?"

The old prince was a little unconvinced.

"Don't lie to me! I rushed back just to bring you closer to the Qiao family. If you dare to lie to me and make me lose face in front of the Qiao family, I won't help you in the future!"

"I lied to you, you little dog! I just went to the Devil Valley with you for dinner before coming back! If you don't believe me, you can ask Mu Er and Zhou Bo! They are both here too. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what the Qiao family's attitude towards me is. I have already made an agreement with the Qiao family. When you come back, I will come to propose marriage. We will get engaged first, and then we can get married when the little girl wants to get married."

The old prince was skeptical.

However, he also knew that although his unruly grandson loved to talk nonsense in front of him, he would never lie to him.

He nodded, "Since the Qiao family has agreed, we should hurry up and prepare to propose marriage. But now the treasury in the palace is empty, and the little belongings I brought back from the Northern Frontier are not enough! Tomorrow I will go to the palace to find your great-uncle and borrow some decent things from his private treasury. In a few days, I will send someone to Devil Valley to inform the Qiao family, and then I will bring you to propose marriage."

"Oh, don't wait a few days! Grandfather, you should go to the palace to find the emperor's great uncle later! Go and propose marriage tomorrow, so as to avoid any unexpected changes."

"What could possibly happen? Look at how anxious you are. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? We have just returned to Beijing, how can we be in such a hurry to propose marriage? I think it's too hasty in a few days. Why don't we choose an auspicious day, preferably next month."
