"Second son of the Eighth Prince?"
Chu Ting was slightly surprised. "When did Father get involved with people from the imperial court!"
"To be able to marry into the Eighth Prince's family is the Chu family's fortune!"
The Chu family head chuckled. "The Eighth Prince's second son will arrive tomorrow. You prepare yourself well and absolutely must not make any mistakes!"
"Understood!"
Chu Ting nodded slightly, not showing any rejection. Although he was the Eighth Prince's second son, he was, after all, a member of the royal family.
Within the entire White Dragon Dynasty, anyone who could establish a connection with the royal family would soar to great heights. If he could find such a spouse, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Seeing Chu Ting leave happily, an elder said, "Family Head, Miss doesn't know that the Eighth Prince's second son, Bai Xi, is an idiot. If she finds out, she might not agree!"
"A parent's command and a matchmaker's words!"
The Chu family head waved his hand. "I will decide this matter. Besides, if he weren't an idiot, how could he have fallen to our Chu family!"
Everyone present fell silent. What the Chu family head said was indeed true.
Within the White Dragon Dynasty, the royal family was the most powerful, controlling the lifeline of the White Dragon Dynasty. Now that the Chu family was to be connected with the royal family, it was naturally a great event.
Chu Ting left the council hall and went to the courtyard where Long Yi and the others were, her face beaming with smiles.
"What happened to make you smile so happily?" Li Ziming asked.
"Someone will come to propose marriage tomorrow!" Chu Ting said proudly.
"Which family is it? They are quite bold!"
Li Ziming said coldly, "They dare to snatch my people!"
"The Eighth Prince's Mansion of the White Dragon Dynasty!"
Chu Ting stated directly, her expression serious. Within the White Dragon Dynasty, being able to associate with the royal family was enough to make any family proud.
"The royal family?"
Li Ziming was slightly startled, his expression shifting. If it were any other family, he could have threatened them, but facing the royal family, their Li family was nothing.
"Li Ziming, I think you should stop pestering. I hope you understand!" Chu Ting said directly.
Li Ziming gave a wry smile. "Since Miss Chu has made her decision, I will naturally obey. Being able to enter the royal family might be the best outcome for you!"
Chu Ting nodded slightly, filled with joy. Ever since she learned the news, she had been in a state of excitement.
"My condolences!"
Long Yi looked at Li Ziming. "Perhaps something better awaits you!"
"Perhaps!"
Li Ziming smiled wryly. In fact, even without the family's request, he had feelings for Chu Ting. Unfortunately, it seemed now that he and Chu Ting were not suitable.
By the next day, the Chu family was decorated with lanterns and banners, and everyone waited outside the mansion with solemn expressions.
"Family Head, why haven't the people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion arrived yet?" Su Dan Xiaoshuo
A clan elder spoke, his face beaming with smiles.
"They must be on their way!"
The Chu family head chuckled. "Just wait here. When people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion arrive, you must not be negligent, after all, our Chu family cannot afford to offend the Eighth Prince's Mansion!"
The Chu family members nodded, acting with extreme caution. How could they not understand this?
Chu Ting wore a green dress, her face full of smiles. When people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion came to propose, she naturally wouldn't be careless, especially since she was going to meet her Prince Charming today.
Not long after, a procession entered Chu City, looking grand and imposing, causing many people to retreat, not daring to collide with them.
"They're here, the people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion are here!"
A clan elder exclaimed, extremely excited.
The Chu family members also immediately became solemn, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"I am the head of the Chu family. I pay my respects to Crown Prince Bai Xi!"
The Chu family head stepped forward, extremely respectful, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"Family Head Chu, you don't need to be so polite!"
An elder beside him smiled. "My Crown Prince is not good with words. Everyone, you don't need to wait outside. Please enter the mansion!"
The Chu family head quickly nodded, not daring to delay.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the council hall. The Chu family head ordered someone to personally seat Bai Xi.
"Steward Zhao, didn't you say you'd bring me to see my wife?"
Bai Xi said foolishly, "Why have we come here?"
"Your wife will be here soon!"
Steward Zhao smiled, and then looked at the Chu family head. "May I ask where Miss Chu is? As long as my Crown Prince is satisfied, we can set a date for the wedding!"
"Quickly go and invite the Young Lady!" the Chu family head said. If this matter could be settled, their Chu family would prosper.
Not long after, Chu Ting arrived at the council hall, wearing a green dress with a pink pendant, like a fairy, making people a little infatuated.
"Wife, such a beautiful wife!"
Bai Xi suddenly stood up, hugged Chu Ting, and was extremely fond of her.
"Shameless, who are you!"
Chu Ting was instantly furious and kicked Bai Xi away. How could she, a noble lady, be insulted by such a person?
"Presumptuous!"
Steward Zhao suddenly stood up. "How dare you be rude to the Crown Prince!"
"Crown Prince?"
Chu Ting was slightly surprised. Looking at the fat pig in front of her, she was stunned. She never expected that the person in front of her was the one she was supposed to marry.
"Chu Ting, apologize to the Crown Prince at once!"
The Chu family head stood up, clearly terrified. If they offended the Eighth Prince because of this, their Chu family would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Father, what is going on?"
Chu Ting said with a wronged expression. "Are you saying that the person you want me to marry is him?"
"Of course. He is the Crown Prince of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, with a boundless future. It is a great opportunity for you to marry into the Eighth Prince's Mansion!"
The Chu family head nodded, his eyes looking serious.
"Can't you see? He looks like this, and he doesn't even have any cultivation. What's the difference between him and a cripple?" Chu Ting shouted. "Even if I die, I will never marry him!"
"How dare you slander the Crown Prince like this!"
Steward Zhao's face turned ashen. He had worked in the Eighth Prince's Mansion and had never seen such a bold and reckless person who didn't even put the Eighth Prince's Mansion in his eyes.
"Your Excellency, please calm down!"
The Chu family head repeatedly said, "My daughter is ignorant and has offended you. I will discipline her properly!"
"No need, let me discipline her myself!"
Steward Zhao said coldly, his aura sharp. As a steward of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, he was a Spirit King realm expert. Now that the Crown Prince had been insulted, how could he let it go?
The Chu family head on the side was somewhat helpless. Even if he wanted to resist, he probably wouldn't dare to step forward. Chu Ting's words had given them a handle. If this matter were to reach the Eighth Prince's ears, the entire Chu family would be in trouble.
The Chu family head knew this all too well.
"You cannot harm him. This is the person this Crown Prince fancies!"
Bai Xi stood in front of Chu Ting. Although he looked foolish, he also possessed a certain dignity.
Steward Zhao frowned, unsure of what to do. Chu Ting's slander was a grave offense. If he ignored it, it would be highly inappropriate.
