After hearing Mrs. Chu's words, Li Xuan's eyes lit up. He first bowed to Mrs. Chu and called her, "Royal Aunt," and then ran to find Chen Afu.
Princess Rui let out a bitter smile, quietly saying, "My royal sister really does have a knack for stirring the pot."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Chu asked, puzzled. She had thought her previous comment was simply a joke.
Princess Rui lowered her voice and said, "Ever since Shiyi was engaged, Xuan'er has been clamoring to get engaged to Yu'er. Knowing that's impossible, he insists on explaining the situation to Mrs. Chu, not wanting her to promise Yu'er to someone else. Xuan'er has been fussing about this every day, but his father kept him in check."
Hearing this, Mrs. Chu burst into laughter, saying, "Like father, like son. Xuan'er is even more assertive than his father; he's already thinking about getting a wife at such a young age."
