The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 78: Arranged Marriage

During the meal, Yelyu Lie ate absent-mindedly.

He couldn’t quite understand what this ’arranged marriage’ meant. Who was the object of her arranged marriage?

Could it be Qiao’er?

Little Princess had just arrived in Bianliao not long ago, the only person she was a bit familiar with was Qiao’er...

Oh, there’s also Aunt Ye. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She’s a woman, not to be counted.

So it’s only Qiao’er, but then... Qiao’er is with Banlai.

Her marriage affairs shouldn’t bypass Banlai...

However, he once promised the little wife that no matter what request she made, as long as it wasn’t killing or arson, betraying the country, he would agree.

And ’arranged marriage’ evidently doesn’t include those two.

Forget it!

An arranged marriage it is!

Qiao’er is quite mischievous, she needs to find a man to manage her well!

While gnawing on a chicken wing, Qiao’er suddenly felt that the chicken wing in her hand... wasn’t tasty anymore!

Because she sensed General’s gaze on her, as if he was struggling, hesitating, yet evaluating the value of goods...

Qiao’er was numb: General... could it be he’s interested in me?

Because Princess gave her this beautiful hairstyle, and the General suddenly noticed her beauty?

Oh my! It’s very possible!

Ever since she changed to this hairstyle, today there have been several stewards, who couldn’t walk when they saw her!

Praising ’Qiao’er has grown up, become prettier’...

Alright! She also knows she looks quite beautiful now!

But the General is supposed to be for the Princess! How can he be interested in her?!

Thus, during the meal, Qiao’er kept glaring fiercely at Barbarian General, that look, as if gazing at a heartbreaker.

Yun Chunnuan noticed this, utterly puzzled.

If it were before, she might have suspected that Barbarian General was such a beast that he wouldn’t even spare Qiao’er.

But now, she was merely confused, unable to make sense of it.

Yelyu Lie naturally felt Qiao’er’s gaze too, thinking she had found out that the little wife wants to ’arrange a marriage’ for her, and she’s not satisfied, thus his expression grew more serious.

By the end of the meal, Qiao’er was nearly scared to tears.

She originally thought that with Princess’s arrival, letting her sit at the table was a great thing!

After all, the masters’ meals tasted much better than hers.

Who knew...

Wuwuwu, from tomorrow onwards, she doesn’t want to dine with General anymore!

All her fault, being born so beautifully! Princess dressed her up a bit, and she couldn’t hide her beauty...

Qiao’er teared up as she gnawed the chicken wings clean, then gobbled down three big bowls of millet rice!

In the future, she probably won’t be able to eat it!

Completely puzzled throughout, Yun Chunnuan, after Qiao’er left, couldn’t help but softly ask, "Why did you scare Qiao’er?"

Yelyu Lie put down his chopsticks, couldn’t help but sigh, "If I don’t make her restrain her behavior now, she’ll suffer losses at her husband’s house in the future."

Yun Chunnuan: "?"

She was utterly astounded, "No way, Qiao’er isn’t even fourteen, and she’s to marry already? What does her husband’s family do? How old? Who else is in the family?"

Yelyu Lie: "?"

He looked even more bewildered, "Wasn’t it your choice? You said you wanted to arrange a marriage for her..."

Yelyu Lie would never stop the little wife from doing anything, especially given her keen eye—it was swift to discover he was a good man, and grew fond of him; naturally, she’s precise with others too, he trusts her!

Yun Chunnuan paused momentarily.

Upon realizing, she couldn’t help but chuckle, "Are you silly! When did I say I wanted to arrange a marriage for Qiao’er! She’s still so young, she’s just a child! Even when she grows up, she’ll have to decide her marriage herself! Can’t be like me..."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Yelyu Lie found something amiss, "Like you how?"

Realizing she misspoke, Yun Chunnuan quickly hugged his sturdy arm, "Not everyone is as lucky as me to meet you, what if they encounter someone bad? Come on, let me show you a real arranged marriage!"

She stood up, pulling his big hand.

Yelyu Lie smiled helplessly, knowing she was a seasoned sweet-talker yet willingly falling for it.

He got up, led by the Little Princess, into the corral meant for raising livestock.

The two chickens brought back from the palace, along with those turtles and rabbits, were temporarily placed here.

Yun Chunnuan eagerly opened the gate of the corral, immediately seeing in the yard a woman about fifty, holding the rooster by its wings, whipping it hard with a stick.

"Stop! Why are you hitting it?"

The woman turned around displeased, upon seeing who spoke, her eyes darkened.

Wasn’t it said that Great Xia Princess was weak and ugly, pale like a corpse?

Pale she certainly was, but not ugly at all!

Clearly she was as beautiful as the fairies in paintings...

Bah! She is no fairy! Clearly a venomous woman! Clearly nothing has happened, yet boasting about giving her daughter away to others!

On what grounds?!

The woman plainly saw Yelyu Lie, yet still raised the stick, fiercely hitting the rooster’s paw, then throwing it to the ground, kicking it hard.

Of course, that big rooster was no vegetarian, while previously enjoying with the hen, it was directly grabbed by the wing and fiercely beaten by this human!

Once free, it pecked fiercely at the woman’s foot.

The cotton-padded shoes instantly gaped open.

The woman’s toe was precisely pecked, hurting so much she grabbed her foot, yelling loudly, "You cursed thing! If old me don’t explode, do you take me for a sick kitten!"

She raised the stick, ready to strike again, stopped by a stern shout, "Jing Aunt, this is none of your business anymore, go down."

Jing Aunt?

This name, Yun Chunnuan remembered, she seemed to be Barbarian General’s wet nurse and also the mother of the girl who gave her the Fragrance-seeking Grass that day.

Tsk, no wonder her expression looked like she wanted to eat someone...
