Marriage Discussion

"W-what did you say? Who do you want to marry?" Yun Xuan's voice trembled as he asked the question again.

"Hmm… I already said once, I want to marry General Bai's daughter, Bai Yunxian." Yun Shu said as if this was just like any other ordinary talk.

But for his father Yun Xuan, this was as if he pointed a sword at his throat.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY? WHOM DO YOU WANT TO MARRY?" Yun Xuan was shocked by this sudden proposal made by his son.

Was he for real? Did he really want to marry Bai Yunxian?

Even the brothers felt that what he said was something ridiculous. He never had any interest in any girl of the capital, so how did he suddenly decide on someone like Bai Yunxian, a girl whom he never met before?

Yun Shu slowly looked up towards his father with half open eyelids as he said, "Why? Is there a problem?"

"Father only told me to get married, but you didn't tell me that I can't marry the person I choose."

Yun Xuan, "..."

Rong Yue was also worried about her son's decision, but she didn't ask him anything.

"You know about her reputation, brother. I can't allow this marriage." Yun Chu also opposed the proposal.

"None of us agree with this decision, fifth brother, please think about it and make the decision again." Yun Xiao also said with a frown forming on his beautiful face.

Both Yun Ming and Yun Qi were also nodding their heads to agree with the second brother.

But Yun Shu stood up firmly as he said, "This is the first and last decision I have made on my marriage. I'll not change my decision, so I ask my father to deliver the words to the general's mansion."

"I have set my mind on Bai Yunxian already, and I'm not giving up until I can have her as my wife." Yun Shu spoke calmly as he bowed towards Yun Xuan before he turned around and left the hall.

'I'm trying to save all of you from the upcoming danger, so please be a little understanding and let us get married, alright?' Yun Shu felt a headache coming, so he went directly to his courtyard without looking back.

Everyone in the hall was silent as Yun Xuan was still trying to stomach down the words that Yun Shu said just now.

He looked at Rong Yue with watery eyes as he said in an almost crying voice, "Wife…"

The brothers also understood what was going to happen, so they bowed to her one by one and exited the hall.

Rong Yue saw the crying face of Yun Xuan and face palmed as she said, "What now? You are the one who forced them to get married, now why do you have to oppose the marriage?"

"But… But although I said he can marry any girl, why does it have to be Bai Yunxian? There are so many cute girls out there, I…" his voice trailed off when he looked at Rong Yue's facial expression.

"He has his own reasons to look for that girl, so just let him be."

"How can you say that?! You know clearly what a greedy bastard of a man General Bai is!"

"I'll go and talk to him." Mother Yun sighed as she explained to him.

Yun Xuan was happy in an instant when he finally heard what he wanted, so he happily praised her like a five year old child, "As expected of my wife! You are the best!"

Rong Yue, "..."

***

Yun Shu was resting in his room after finally getting rid of his brothers.

Right after they came out of the hall, all the brothers ran on his courtyard to find out what happened and to persuade him.

But he refused to change his mind and drove all of them out of his courtyard with an annoyed face.

"I'm not changing my mind, I'll only marry Bai Yunxian!" he said as he was pushing Yun Qi on his back.

"Brother, you are our youngest. So please think about it once again. We want a cute sister- in-law for you, not Bai Yunxian!" even Yun Ming was protesting.

"I'm the one who is getting married, not you! I've already decided, you can't persuade me!" He used all his strength to kick all of them out of the courtyard after struggling with them for twenty minutes.

And he was finally going to take a rest, when he heard a soothing voice that calmed his heart.

"Shu'er, are you busy?"

"Come in, Mom. I'm never busy with you!" Yun Shu ran towards the door happily as he opened and brought his mother inside.

He made Rong Yue sit down first, then directly laid his head on her lap as he said, "What is it, Mom?"

"You know that very well, don't you?" she said with a smile as she ruffled her son's hair with one hand.

"Is it about the marriage thing again?" Yun Shu really wanted to act like a dead man. But he couldn't do that in front of his mother.

Of all of the people in his family, his closest person was his mother, Rong Yue.

So there is no doubt that his father will make her come here to persuade him to change his mind.

"Do you really know what you are doing?" Rong Yue asked him with a serious face.

Yun Shu sat up straight from her lap as he sighed deeply, then he said, "I know what I'm doing, Mom. Just believe me, alright?"

"But you… you know about the reputation of Bai Yunxian in the capital. I can't let you marry such a girl!" Rong Yue felt terribly anxious for Yun Shu.

"I know that too! You don't have to worry about this, I can handle this much." Yun Shu smiled warmly as he said.

Everyone in the Kingdom knew about Bai Yunxian's terrible reputation in the capital. They also knew how so many guys ran after her to marry her, but she didn't get married.
