Chapter 61 Simple Conditions

Inside the Fu'an Marquis Mansion villa which is surrounded by heavy protection.

Cui Shuyun sat calmly on the chair and asked her maid Xiaowei to take off the red veil on her head to get some fresh air.

"Miss, what time is it?

Why are you still thinking about letting in some air?"

The maid Xiaowei stepped forward and took off Cui Shuyun's red veil.

Looking at Cui Shuyun who looked as if it had nothing to do with her, the maid Xiaowei couldn't help but worry.

"Xiao Wei, calm down!"

Cui Shuyun persuaded Xiaowei.

"How can you stay calm, Miss?

Marquis Fu'an is coming!"

Xiaowei spoke very quickly, and her fast speaking speed showed her anxiety.

"Come on! What's the hurry?"

Cui Shuyun didn't care.

"Miss, Miss!

Do you understand that it is not only against etiquette for the bride and groom to meet each other before the wedding, but it will also damage the blessings of both parties.

More importantly, by doing this, Marquis Fu'an does not trust our Cui family and does not believe you, young lady!
He is looking down on our Cui family and you, young lady!"

Xiaowei once again explained to Cui Shuyun the dangers and deep meaning of Marquis Fu'an's visit before the marriage.

"Xiao Wei, you think too much!

Maybe Marquis Fu'an just wanted to come and take a look!

And don't forget, what Marquis Fu'an wants is still in my hands!"

Cui Shuyun comforted Xiaowei while raising her tightly clasped hands.

Xiaowei was stunned and looked at Cui Shuyun's clasped hands.

Xiaowei then realized that Cui Shujun was holding in her hand the Cui family's rare treasure that Marquis Fu'an desired so much - the Fire Lotus!
"So, Marquis Fu'an came to see the young lady because of Huo Lian! I thought he was untrustworthy..."

Xiaowei murmured to herself as if she had realized something.

Xiaowei was also very anxious. For a moment, she didn't expect the truth to surface.

"Otherwise, you think?"

Cui Shuyun was really speechless at the silly Xiaowei who didn't even think of this.

"Miss, you can't blame me!
I was shocked and furious when I heard that Marquis Fu'an was coming to see the young lady! I didn't think of this for a moment. "

Xiaowei defended herself aggrievedly.

"You're still right, aren't you?"

Cui Shuyun said unhappily.

“No, miss!

I didn't say I was right!

But, Miss, since you know that Marquis Fu'an values ​​the Fire Lotus in your hand, why don't you give it directly to General Zhao and let him take it directly to Marquis Fu'an's mansion and give it to Marquis Fu'an?
Bringing Marquis Fu'an here like this is unlucky for an engaged couple to meet before their wedding!"

Xiao Wei asked in confusion.

"what do you know…"

Cui Shuyun was about to say something when there was a sudden commotion outside the house.

There were also voices of "Marquis" and "Marquis" that kept ringing out.

Immediately, a tall, handsome man with sharp eyes and sharp eyebrows pushed open the door of the room where Cui Shuyun was.

Following behind him were three figures that Cui Shuyun was very familiar with.

They are General Zhao Xinghan, Chief Steward Gao Yao, and Chief Steward Dai Fayan.

After Zhao Xinghan and others agreed to let Cui Shuyun, the future wife of the Marquisate, temporarily control the "Fire Lotus", there was no need to conceal Gao Yao's identity.

Therefore, Cui Shuyun knew the identities of all the Three Heroes of Fu'an.

Cui Shuyun even learned from Qiuyue along the way that Zhao Xinghan, Gao Yao and Dai Fayan were collectively known as the "Three Heroes of Fu'an".

The handsome man in front of her was surrounded by the three heroes of Fu'an, Zhao Xinghan, Gao Yao and Dai Fayan, and he dared to blatantly push open the door of her room, the future wife of the Marquis's Mansion, even if it was just the door of a resting room. His identity was self-evident.

"Master Hou!"

Cui Shuyun bowed awkwardly according to the instructions of her former mother-in-law in the palace.

Because her hands were clasped together and could not be separated, Cui Shuyun's ceremony was not proper.

"Are you so sure that I am Marquis Fu'an? Aren't you afraid of mistaking me for someone else?"

Zhu Chengwu, who was surrounded by Zhao Xinghan and the other two, looked at the Cui family's legitimate daughter in front of him and asked.

“I can’t think of anyone other than Marquis Fu’an who could have let General Zhao and the other three open my door in front of everyone without anyone stopping them.

Moreover, only the Marquis can match this appearance and temperament that overwhelm Pan An!"

Cui Shuyun explained why she recognized Zhu Chengwu.

"You're very smart! And you're good at talking!"

Zhu Chengwu praised Cui Shuyun.

Appearance and temperament are indeed the things that Zhu Chengwu is extremely satisfied with himself in this life.

Who told Zhu Chengwu to have memories of his past life?

And Zhu Chengwu's previous life was a peaceful and prosperous time where he could make a living by relying on his looks!

With the values ​​​​from his previous life, Zhu Chengwu is naturally satisfied with his outstanding appearance in this life.

Especially when there is a previous life to compare with.

Zhu Chengwu was very ordinary in his previous life.

That ordinary thing is not only about EQ and IQ, but also about appearance and temperament.

But after reincarnation, Zhu Chengwu was born with an outstanding face and figure.

It is human nature to love beauty.

No matter how strong the military force is or how great the power is, it is the same.

The royal Zhu family possessed the strongest military force and greatest power in the Ming Dynasty, and naturally had the first priority in choosing a spouse.

Over three hundred years, with gene optimization from generation to generation, by the time of Zhu Chengwu, there were almost no ugly descendants in the royal Zhu family.

Plus royal education and martial arts bonuses.

When it comes to temperament, Zhu Chengwu also has a good grasp of it.

Therefore, although Cui Shuyun's evaluation of Zhu Chengwu's "appearance and temperament overwhelm Pan An" seems exaggerated and deliberately flattering, it is not completely groundless.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord!"

Zhu Chengwu did not object to Cui Shuyun's compliment on his appearance and temperament, and Cui Shuyun also did not refute Zhu Chengwu's compliment on her intelligence and eloquence. She just replied to Zhu Chengwu lightly, "You're too kind!"
"But, you are so smart, why don't you understand that there are some things you should not covet?"

However, the next moment, Zhu Chengwu changed the subject and questioned Cui Shuyun in a harsh tone.

Zhu Chengwu's change of tone suddenly made the harmonious atmosphere at the scene become gloomy.

"Shuyun has never thought of taking possession of something that does not belong to her!

All this is just to attract the attention of the Marquis!"

Cui Shuyun understood what Zhu Chengwu said and why he was angry.

Immediately, she expressed her attitude and the reason why she did so.

"this……

We have come to this point in the conversation. Has it become so ambiguous?"

Cui Shuyun's words "to attract the Marquis's attention" made Zhao Xinghan have an idea, and he looked at Gao Yao and Dai Fayan inquiringly.

Shouldn't they quit?
Leave the space for the engaged couple Zhu Chengwu and Cui Shuyun.

“Oh~~
is it?

If that's the case, hand it over!"

Unexpectedly, before Zhao Xinghan could wait for Gao Yao and Dai Fayan's eye responses, Zhu Chengwu's ruthless voice rang out again.

The slight hint of ambiguity at the scene was completely shattered.

"It seems that he really came here just for the Fire Lotus!"

Zhu Chengwu's ruthless words made Cui Shuyun breathe a sigh of relief.

The temptation is over.

"This was originally something Cui gave to the Marquis, so it is only natural that I give it to the Marquis.

But before handing it over to the Marquis, Shuyun hopes that the Marquis can promise Shuyun a few things! "

Cui Shuyun ignored Zhu Chengwu's outstretched right hand, looked at his sharp eyes and eyebrows, and said, "Talk about conditions?"

Zhu Chengwu sneered, and without waiting for Cui Shuyun to answer, he stared at Cui Shuyun and continued, "Do you know how many conditions Cui has put forward to me for this thing?"

“Shuyun knows.

When I left the Cui family, the clan leader gave me some instructions. "

Cui Shuyun knew that even her position as the wife of the marquis was one of Cui's conditions.

“Since you know this, how dare you make further demands on me?
This is not the way you guys try to eat multiple meals of one thing!

Do you really think that I dare not kill you?
Don't you dare to take what I want from your corpse?"

As he spoke, an extremely powerful and oppressive aura burst out from Zhu Chengwu.

This breath was like a mountain pressing down on one's head or a rushing flood, attacking Cui Shuyun directly and wrapping her up tightly.

Cui Shuyun almost couldn't breathe.

This aura was so powerful that Cui Shuyun had never seen it before in her life.

Stronger than my second sister-in-law Ai Jingxia, and more dangerous than the witch Wanwan.

"So strong!
He is indeed a renowned royal prodigy!

As expected, he is the Marquis of Fu'an who can force the clan leader to hand over the rare fire lotus of heaven and earth!"

Cui Shuyun couldn't help but sigh in her heart at Zhu Chengwu's power and danger.

"Shuyun believes that the Marquis dares!

But Shuyun also believes that the Marquis will not do this! "

As Cui Shuyun answered, under the pressure, her spiritual power, which had already had a foundation, burst out involuntarily, colliding with Zhu Chengwu's overwhelming aura, trying her best to protect Cui Shuyun's safety.

“Out of body?
The way to refine the spirit!
Is this what you rely on to negotiate terms with me?
But, you are underestimating me and overestimating yourself!"

Feeling the breath of Cui's legitimate daughter, which was swaying like a candle in the wind under the pressure of his breath, Zhu Chengwu sneered disdainfully.

"In terms of strength, Shuyun is naturally inferior to Marquis Fu'an!

But Marquis Fu'an should not forget that the Fire Lotus is now in Shuyun's hands.

The first object that Shuyun visualized when she was building her foundation was the sun, which, like the fire lotus, was of the fire element.

Once Shuyun desperately merges with the Fire Lotus, even if she fails, even if you, Marquis Fu'an, stop her in time, Shuyun will risk her life. If you can't destroy the Fire Lotus, you can at least cause it to be damaged again.

After holding the Fire Lotus for such a long time, Shuyun could sense that when Cui brought the Fire Lotus back from overseas, it was not properly preserved, and too many people could not resist the temptation and tried to merge with the Fire Lotus. Although they were all burned to ashes by the Fire Lotus in the end, the essence of the Fire Lotus had been consumed and damaged...

If Shuyun were to risk her life again and consume and damage the essence of the Fire Lotus...Shuyun thought, this is not what the Marquis wants to see!"

Zhu Chengwu's breath oppressed her so much that she even had difficulty breathing, but Cui Shuyun still had a calm expression and argued calmly with Zhu Chengwu.

Zhu Chengwu looked at Cui Shuyun deeply and fell silent.

As Zhu Chengwu fell silent, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense and dangerous.

There was not a sound.

Not only Xiaowei was shocked by Cui Shuyun's courage.

Even Zhao Xinghan, Gao Yao and Dai Fayan did not expect Cui Shuyun to be so bold.

Dare to threaten Zhu Chengwu.

Zhao Xinghan and the other two now regretted agreeing to give the "Fire Lotus" to Cui Shuyun for temporary safekeeping.

But now no one at the scene dared to speak and disturb Zhu Chengwu's silence.

Everyone knew that Zhu Chengwu was thinking.

The result of Zhu Chengwu's thinking will determine the fate of Cui Shuyun and even the Cui family, and will also determine whether the wedding banquet that has been prepared by the Fu'an Marquis Mansion can continue.

Zhao Xinghan and the other two were still thinking about Cui Shuyun, the future wife of the Marquis' Mansion. No, Cui Shuyun might not be the future wife of the Marquis' Mansion of Fu'an...

I was thinking about what exactly Cui Shuyun, the legitimate daughter of the Cui family, wanted Zhu Chengwu to agree to?
What kind of request is worth Cui Shuyun taking such a big risk?

What kind of chain changes will be caused by whether Zhu Chengwu agrees or not to Cui Shuyun's request?

What should they and the Fu'an Marquisate do?

Just as Zhao Xinghan and the other two were constantly thinking about all possible subsequent changes and how they and the Fu'an Marquisate should act subsequently, Zhu Chengwu's voice rang out again.

"Your threat reminds me of another threat I made before: If you all rush at me, I may not be able to kill you all before my internal energy runs out!
But I have to say, your threat is much more powerful than that threat!
Because you grasped the key!

Caught the bull's nose!

Tell me, what are your conditions?

Zhu Chengwu finally dissipated the strong aura that was pressing towards Cui Shuyun.

"It's not that Shuyun's threat is powerful, but that the Marquis has already paid too much for this fire lotus!

It was also because of the Marquis's kindness that Shuyun had room to speak.

Shuyun's condition is very simple! It will not cause any harm to the Marquis!
Shuyun, be free! "

As Zhu Chengwu took his breath back, Cui Shuyun took a deep breath in her heart and stated her request in a light tone.

Don’t be fooled by Cui Shuyun’s calm appearance, she was also panicked when Zhu Chengwu exploded.

After all, the power and status of the two are not equal.

The relationship between the two is that Zhu Chengwu is the butcher and Cui Shuyun is the fish.

"free?
Please tell me your conditions in detail!"

Zhu Chengwu looked at Cui Shuyun and said so.

As they communicated, Zhu Chengwu had a better impression of this smart and courageous daughter of the Cui family!
There is no concept of sunk cost in this world, but Cui Shuyun's speech already reflects the theory of sunk cost.

Although Zhu Chengwu has an average IQ, this does not prevent him from appreciating people with outstanding IQs.

This has nothing to do with love between men and women, it is simply admiration for intelligent women.

"My conditions are that the Marquis and the Fu'an Marquisate cannot restrict my freedom, even if I want to leave the Marquisate to travel; second, they cannot force me to do things I don't like, including having children in the bridal chamber; and third, if our lives are not compatible, I hope that the Marquis will unconditionally agree to a divorce!"

Cui Shuyun stated her specific conditions.

"that's it?"

Cui Shuyun's conditions surprised Zhu Chengwu greatly.

How do you say these conditions?

太…

It’s so unimportant!
Are these conditions worth the calculations of this smart and courageous daughter of the Cui family, and the risk of negotiating with him using the Fire Lotus?

As long as Cui's legitimate daughter asked for such conditions, Zhu Chengwu would agree to them.

Zhu Chengwu didn't really like this legitimate daughter of the Cui family.

The two had never even met before.

Their marriage was nothing more than an exchange of interests as required by Cui.

Moreover, Zhu Chengwu's skills in the virgin martial arts also meant that he was doomed to have no children in his bridal chamber.

In fact, Zhu Chengwu was overthinking it!

Cui Shuyun is not Zhu Chengwu, so how could she know Zhu Chengwu's inner thoughts?

Moreover, this world is not the world of Zhu Chengwu's previous life. The Ming Dynasty favors boys over girls, so Cui Shuyun dares to ask Zhu Chengwu for conditions only if she has something in her hand.

This is the difference between people.

Everyone wants to take the initiative and seize the initiative.

Therefore, many simple things become complicated!

"Yes! That's it!

So the Marquis agrees!"

Zhu Chengwu's slightly puzzled and surprised tone made Cui Shuyun stunned for a moment before she reacted instantly.

Marquis Fu'an agreed to her conditions.

"I agreed!
Huo Lian, you can leave it to me now!"

Zhu Chengwu nodded affirmatively.

At the same time, extend your right hand again.

"One word?"

"One word and nine cauldrons!"

As the conditions were met, Cui Shuyun slowly loosened her tightly clasped hands, revealing the fire lotus in her hands.

Cui Shuyun believed that Marquis Fu'an, who was of such a high status and so handsome, would not be a man who went back on his word.

No one knows that Cui Shuyun is also a beauty fan deep down!
Apart from the Yan Party, Cui Shujun handed over the Fire Lotus so readily after Zhu Chengwu made a verbal promise. This was because unless Cui Shujun wanted to suffer losses on both sides, she had no choice but to trust Zhu Chengwu.

This is the fundamental difference.

The gap in foundation was too great. Even though Cui Shuyun had made countless calculations, she was still at a disadvantage when negotiating terms with Zhu Chengwu.
