Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Chapter 121 Going to Zuifeng Tower to find my wife?

Chu Xiaohuan saw the woman at the entrance of Zuifeng Tower turn around and leave. How could he possibly enter and leave such a place?

"Young master, here... wait for me, young master."

Before Qingzhu could finish speaking, she saw Chu Xiaohuan stride away and quickly chased after him.

He tapped Qingzhu on the forehead. "Do you think I'm not eye-catching enough already?"

Qingzhu looked Chu Xiaohuan up and down, scratching her head and muttering to herself.

"No, young master's style today is quite different from usual, no one will recognize him."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard people talking behind him.

"Isn't this General Chu?"

"What General Chu? He was dismissed long ago."

"Oh, what a pity..."

……

Upon hearing the sound, Qingzhu quickly pulled Chu Xiaohuan back to the Chu Prince's Mansion. He hadn't expected that others would recognize the young master.

Then he led the young master to stand at the entrance of Zuifeng Tower for so long, didn't that mean...?

Chu Xiaohuan didn't care; he didn't care about other people's opinions, but he couldn't get over his own conscience.

If he cared too much, he wouldn't have become the first male general despite public opinion.

"Qingzhu, think it over carefully next time. How could the Fifth Prince's consort be in such a place? The Empress will not agree to it."

Qingzhu nodded as if he had just realized something. He had only thought that there were many women there, but he hadn't thought of these things.

"Young master, why don't we ask the Fifth Prince for the list of eligible women in the official household?"

Qingzhu clapped her hands, suddenly remembered this matter, and proudly said loudly.

"Oh, General Chu, you couldn't find a good wife at Drunken Wind Pavilion, so you want to ask me for a list?"

When the Fifth Prince heard from his subordinates that Chu Xiaohuan had gone to Zuifeng Tower, he couldn't wait to come over and tease him.

He still habitually called him General Chu. Before he was made a general, his mother always forced him to call him Prince Chu, even though he was only a few days older than him.

"Yes, Fifth Prince, what about you..."

Chu Xiaohuan's face turned pale and then red. This Qingzhu really didn't have much of a brain. He should deduct one or two months' salary from his pay.

If they hadn't grown up together, he would have suspected that Qingzhu was deliberately trying to embarrass him in front of the Fifth Prince.

"Ahem, Qingzhu,"

Upon hearing Chu Xiaohuan's slightly warning tone, Qingzhu immediately stopped talking.

The Fifth Prince smiled and sat down in the main seat. "Qingzhu, go pour a cup of tea."

Qingzhu obediently went to make tea for the Fifth Prince.

"General Chu, if you want to get married, you don't need to go to a place like Zuifeng Tower. There are plenty of court ladies here. Why don't you just pick one?"

The Fifth Prince's words were perfunctory and clearly not sincere, but Chu Xiaohuan did not reply.

Qingzhu, who had gone to make tea, came in with the tea and, upon hearing what the Fifth Prince said, innocently replied.

"Fifth Prince, you have misunderstood. My young master originally intended to find you a wife."

Upon hearing Qingzhu's words, Chu Xiaohuan lowered his head, suppressing a laugh. Qingzhu really was exceptionally clueless. Oh well, let's raise it back for him.

This time it was the Fifth Prince's turn to be furious. He angrily pointed to the tip of his nose and asked Qingzhu in disbelief.

"Go to Zuifeng Tower to find my wife?"

Qingzhu was a little confused, but she still nodded honestly.

"Yes, but the young master said the women there weren't suitable and asked me to ask you for a list."

Qingzhu's voice was innocent, and Chu Xiaohuan's shoulders kept shaking as he tried to suppress his laughter.

The Fifth Prince, however, turned pale and clenched his fists tightly, but he did not lash out.

His mother dotes on him, so he's a bit willful, but he won't do anything excessive; at most, he'll bicker with Chu Xiaohuan.

"Alright, Qingzhu, you can go out now."

Seeing that the veins on the back of the Fifth Prince's hand were bulging, Chu Xiaohuan quickly told Qingzhu to leave.

It wasn't that I was worried about Qingzhu getting into any trouble, but rather that the Fifth Prince might get seriously injured from anger.

The Fifth Prince turned his head away angrily when he heard the laughter in Chu Xiaohuan's voice.

"You don't need to worry about my marriage. You should worry about your own first."

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head, staring hatefully at Chu Xiaohuan, his tone slightly threatening, "I'll steal your wife sooner or later, hmph!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Upon hearing the word "wife," Chu Xiaohuan's mind was once again filled with the image of Li Mo'er.

"Qian Duoduo~", he murmured softly, "Why am I thinking about her again?"

When the Fifth Prince arrived at the entrance of the Chu Prince's residence, he suddenly realized that he had come to mock him, but instead, he had become the laughingstock.

Seeing the Fifth Prince leave in a huff, Qingzhu immediately went into the guest hall.

"Young master, did the Fifth Prince bully you?"

Looking at the innocence in Qingzhu's eyes, Chu Xiaohuan smiled and waved his hand. He was lucky he hadn't been driven mad.

"That list..."

Just as Chu Xiaohuan was about to say no, he heard Qingzhu continue, "I've already asked Moju to take care of it."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Xiaohuan with a proud expression, as if to say, "Praise me!"

Chu Xiaohuan rubbed his forehead, unsure of what to say to him.

Soon, Qingzhu entered the study carrying a pile of portraits. "Young master, these are portraits of all the women of marriageable age."

Chu Xiaohuan looked at the thick stack and waved his hand, "Take it out, it's too much trouble to even look at."

Qingzhu, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic. "Young master, let me show you each one one by one. That will be faster."

As he spoke, he held up the first portrait: "Daughter of the Prime Minister, Su Moling, age eighteen, currently serving as the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, a fourth-rank official."

After the introduction, she deliberately held it out so that Chu Xiaohuan could see it clearly. At the end, she bent down and whispered, "The legendary fiancée of the Fifth Prince."

Then he stood back up and picked up the next one.

"Ling Miao, a third-rank official in the Imperial Secretariat, aged twenty."
