Chapter 810: The Disabled Young Master 23

Then he hurriedly went to find Chu Pan'er.

“Pan'er, Father thought about it, and I feel that what you said does make sense. If you take an in-house husband, at least you’ll still be living at home, and Father will be able to know how you’re doing. We’ll do as you said. In a few days, Father will arrange an embroidered-ball marriage for you!”

Hearing this, Chu Pan'er's eyes lit up. “Father, you agree?”

“Mm!” Master Chu nodded.

Whenever he thought about what he had heard, he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.

What if Pan'er met the wrong man? Not only would he ruin her life, he would also lose everything he had worked hard for over most of his life.

That absolutely could not happen!

But if she took an in-house husband, then Pan'er's children would still be descendants of the Chu family. He could have her children inherit everything belonging to the Chu family. That would certainly be better than having someone else take everything away.

……

Thus, several days later, the Chu family held an embroidered-ball marriage on the second floor of a restaurant in town.

After hearing the news, quite a few impoverished young men became excited.

The Chu family was famous for being wealthy. Although this meant marrying into the family, if a man could become the Chu family's in-house son-in-law, he would have no worries about food or drink for the rest of his life!

Even the beggars came gathering beneath the restaurant, all waiting for the day of the embroidered-ball marriage.

Li Shuai was also making preparations.

For this purpose, he specifically rallied his group of friends and had them come as well. Once the embroidered ball reached their hands, they were to throw it toward him.

That way, his chances of catching the embroidered ball would increase greatly.

As for the other men who wanted to compete with him for the embroidered ball?

He had already arranged for members of a gang he knew to block the others from getting near the restaurant.

With this arrangement, the embroidered ball was basically already his.

……

In the blink of an eye, the day of Chu Pan'er's embroidered-ball marriage arrived.

Early in the morning, quite a crowd had gathered in the street below the restaurant.

Before long, however, when some young and able-bodied men tried to squeeze their way in, several fierce-looking men shoved them back.

“Get lost, get lost! Anyone who doesn't know their place and dares to cross this line, don't blame the knife in my hand if it doesn't have eyes!”

As soon as those words were spoken, most of the people were immediately frightened away.

Li Shuai, who was mixed into the crowd, was extremely satisfied when he saw this scene.

Then he waited for the auspicious time to arrive.

More than an hour later, Chu Pan'er appeared at the second-floor window, dressed in a wedding gown.

The moment she appeared, a chorus of whistles immediately rang out from below.

Hearing the whistles, Chu Pan'er's entire face flushed red. This was the first time she had ever seen so many men gathered in one place.

However, she quickly composed herself and lowered her head to search for Li Shuai.

Menglang had told her that he would be wearing a purple robe today so that she could recognize him easily.

Before long, Chu Pan'er spotted Li Shuai in purple among the densely packed crowd below.

At once, she felt relieved.

……

At the same time, on a street not far away, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe was also making his way over, leisurely waving a folding fan.

Seeing the situation ahead, the middle-aged man asked the guard beside him, “What’s going on ahead? Why is it so crowded?”

“Replying to the Marquis, it seems that someone is holding an embroidered-ball marriage.”

“Oh? Go over and take a look! I haven’t seen this kind of excitement in a long time!” The middle-aged man immediately showed an interested expression.

By the time he approached, the scramble for the embroidered ball had already reached its climax.

The people Li Shuai had invited were all frantically scrambling for the embroidered ball. Gradually, it became impossible to tell who was who.

However, they all firmly remembered Li Shuai's purple robe.
