Chapter 170 Being a Marshal's Daughter Isn't Easy
"Ah Shang, your mother is so sorry!"
Hearing her daughter's words of comfort, Luo Wei cried even harder, tears streaming down her face. She wiped them away haphazardly, then suddenly grabbed Yu Liu's shoulders: "A Shang, run away!!"
"!!!"
Luo Wei's eyes, washed with tears, held an unprecedented firmness. Yu Liu's heart trembled, and that feeling of unease intensified once again!
"Ah Shang, run away! Run away! Run away from this Marshal's Mansion!" Luo Wei frantically shook Yu Liu: "Tai Shu Yan Nuo, Tai Shu Yan Nuo... He broke his promise! He's going to kill us! Ah Shang... Run!!"
Previously in the hospital, Tai Shushang's sorrowful words suddenly appeared in Yu Liu's mind, so similar to the scene before her eyes.
Yu Liu's hands trembled uncontrollably. "Tai Shu Shang" is only 18 years old now. This shouldn't be happening at this time. Could it be because of her that it has come to an early age?
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? Why are you running away? I'm in my own home, why would I run away? And how could Father possibly kill me?" Yu Liu forced herself to calm down and asked, pretending to be puzzled.
"He He……"
Seeing that her daughter wouldn't listen to her, Luo Wei became even more anxious. She knew that her daughter knew nothing, and it would be difficult to persuade her to run away under these circumstances. However, she hesitated to ask her daughter for the reason.
"lady!!!"
Before Luo Wei could explain, a maid came running over in a hurry, her face covered in sweat and panting, and stopped in front of Yu Liu and Luo Wei.
"Hoo—Madam—"
She was breathing heavily, and it was difficult for her to speak.
"What's the matter that's causing such a rush? Didn't you see you've interrupted Madam and Miss's conversation?"
A faint male voice suddenly came from behind Luo Wei. Not far away, around the corner, Butler Zheng was standing quietly, his gaze in their direction calm and unwavering.
Yu Liu was startled, completely unaware of when Steward Zheng had appeared there.
Luo Wei was clearly startled by the sudden voice of Butler Zheng, and froze on the spot, a hint of fear in her eyes.
"Butler Zheng—whoosh—" The maid, upon seeing Butler Zheng, immediately abandoned the two true masters of the house, her gaze fixed on him as if she had found her pillar of support: "Something terrible has happened, Butler Zheng!!!"
"What's the big deal?"
Butler Zheng's voice remained calm; unless the war alliance failed, nothing else mattered to him.
"Yes, it's Marshal Dongfang!" The maid's eyes still held a hint of shock. "Marshal Dongfang just updated his account on Shuxiu.com with a post saying, he said—"
The maid glanced at Yu Liu before continuing, "He said he has long admired our young lady, and that he once helped her, for which she promised to repay him with her body. Now he intends to fulfill his promise and come to our Marshal's mansion to propose marriage!!!"
"what?"
Butler Zheng's hand trembled uncontrollably.
"...What did you say?" Luo Wei could hardly believe her ears. Marshal Dongfang was even more powerful than her husband! He wanted to marry her daughter. If the marriage could be arranged, wouldn't that mean she and her daughter would have a powerful backer? Even if Taishu Yannuo really wanted to harm her and her daughter, he would have to consider whether Marshal Dongfang would agree!
"Dongfang Qingyuan wants to marry my daughter?!"
"Yes, Madam! Moreover, Marshal Dongfang's marriage proposal team is almost at our Marshal's Mansion, and this matter has also caused a stir online. Do you think we should make some preparations?"
This happened so suddenly that no one was prepared.
Upon hearing this news, Yu Liu was completely dumbfounded. What? Marshal Dongfang had helped her before, and she had promised to repay him with her body? What on earth was going on? The only one who had ever helped her was Yan Ning. Could it be that Dongfang Qingyuan had found out what Yan Ning had done?
No, no, even if Dongfang Qingyuan found out what Yan Ning did, things shouldn't have developed like this...
So what exactly is going on here?
"You're saying that Dongfang Qingyuan's marriage proposal party is almost at our Marshal's Mansion?"
Butler Zheng quickly regained his composure and, upon hearing the maid's words, asked another question with an ambiguous meaning.
"Yes."
"You've come at just the right time."
Butler Zheng sighed softly, a smile playing on his lips, but a complex calculation lurking in his eyes: "That's just right..."
"I will go to greet them personally. You take good care of the Madam and the Eldest Miss. We will decide on all matters after the Marshal returns."
"Yes."
Butler Zheng made all the decisions without considering Yu Liu and Luo Wei's opinions, and the maid had no objections whatsoever.
Yu Liu finally realized something was wrong. Why did Butler Zheng suddenly change his attitude?
Although Butler Zheng wasn't very respectful to Luo Wei, he was still very respectful to Yu Liu. But just now, he didn't even give Yu Liu a glance, and his attitude changed too suddenly.
It wasn't until this moment that Yu Liu realized her brain wasn't working properly. She had indeed been careless. She had always thought that Tai Shu Shang's crisis would only appear when she was in her twenties, so she had let her guard down. Now she had no idea what had happened or what she would face next. She was in a very passive position!
"Ah Shang!" Yu Liu was lost in thought when she suddenly felt her wrist being tightly gripped. She looked up and saw the excited Luo Wei. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but when she glanced at the maid standing next to her, she stopped talking, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Mother, you must be tired. Let me take you back to your room to rest."
Yu Liu pretended not to understand the complexity in Luo Wei's eyes, reached out to wipe away her tears, and planned to settle Luo Wei down first, and then go online to see what this Marshal Dongfang was up to.
Luo Wei seemed lost in thought. After a moment's hesitation, she nodded. Yu Liu escorted her back to her room, instructed the maid to take good care of Luo Wei, and then returned to the Marshal's Mansion's living room. She casually found a seat and began to work.
Let's see if we can find any useful information first. If not, we'll just have to wait here.
Dongfang Qingyuan is coming, and Taishu Yannuo is also returning today, bringing an unknown distinguished guest. I have a feeling... something big is about to happen. Rather than waiting to be killed, it's better to take the initiative. Besides, with Marshal Dongfang Qingyuan around, Taishu Yannuo will always be hesitant to do anything he wants.
From this perspective, Dongfang Qingyuan's inexplicable marriage proposal isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Yu Liu pondered this in her mind, and after browsing through the news online, she found that it was basically the same as what the maid had said.
She couldn't understand why Dongfang Qingyuan, someone who had no relation to her, would suddenly come to propose marriage.
Furthermore, when did I promise Dongfang Qingyuan, whom I've only met once, that I would repay her with my body? Could it be... that the real Taishu Shang made that promise before I arrived? Why hasn't Taishu Shang mentioned something so important?
