Ever since Ning Ning and the nanny left the house, the smile on Xu Jinyi's face has faded a lot. When Zheng Ronghan said these words, the smile on Xu Jinyi's face disappeared completely.
"Why?" Xu Jinyi picked up the teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea, pushed one cup to the opposite side, and brought the cup to his mouth. After taking two sips, he said slowly: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Miss Sun is the mother of the grass people. Just set up a sequel for Caomin, if Caomin does not marry Miss Sun, how can he feel at ease if his deceased mother knows about it in the spring?"
"Besides," Xu Jinyi refilled another half cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Miss Sun is beautiful and never married. Caomin is very satisfied with her."
Hearing Mr. Xiao's words, Zheng Ronghan gritted his teeth with hatred for some reason, "What's so good about the grandson's daughter? Didn't you see that just now, that woman has a soft and contrived attitude, and even..."
"What else?"
"She still seduced me!" Zheng Ronghan patted the table and stood up, walked up to Xu Jinyi step by step, staring at him with his head down, "Although this king has not married a wife and concubines, he often meets Xu Jinyi. Some women who are trying to climb the dragon and the phoenix, the gesture that the daughter of the grandson made in front of the king just now, obviously wants to climb up to the king!"
Zheng Ronghan wanted to save face for Mr. Xiao, but when he saw Mr. Xiao's "deep-rooted love", the anger in his chest had already surpassed his reason, and he understood Sun Peirou's thoughts without thinking.
At this time, Zheng Ronghan may have regretted it for a moment, but his heart was mostly happy, he slowly lowered his head, and approached Xu Jinyi more and more, "That lowly woman who does not obey women's morals and shame, do you really want to marry?"
Xu Jinyi was very surprised.
In the plot, Wang An is withdrawn by nature. Although there are women flocking to him, he is still not attracted to him until he meets Sun Peirou for disaster relief.
Sun Peirou also took the initiative to attack, but because of the loss of her father and mother, she already regarded Wang An as the last straw to survive, and she knew how to advance and retreat in front of Wang An.
When King An was unintentionally in danger, Sun Peirou happened to be by King An's side, and even more righteously blocked the sword for King An, saving King An's life as a daughter.
Sun Peirou was arranged by King An to recuperate in the county government because of his life-saving grace. In order to show her innocence in front of King An, she chanted scriptures every day to pray for rain regardless of her serious injuries, and prayed for blessings for all people in the world.
One day, Sun Peirou passed out due to lack of health while chanting sutras. Less than a quarter of an hour after she passed out, the sunny weather suddenly changed, and a heavy rain suddenly came. The half-year drought is finally over.
I don't know when there was a rumor in the county government that it was Miss Sun's sincerity that moved the sky, which made the sky rain heavily. Since then, the name of Sun Peirou's pure kindness has been widely spread in the county, and Sun Peirou is no longer the peasant girl she used to be, but a kind man and righteous man who has been favored by heaven.
With the right time, place and people, Sun Peirou gradually loosened Wang An's heart, and finally became Wang An's only woman. It was also because of this that Wang An cherished her children very much. As the only daughter of the two, Zheng Yanran was even more doted on by Wang An.
But today's King An thinks that Sun Peirou is not a woman? Seeing the undisguised hatred on Wang An's face, Xu Jinyi was extremely astonished, but at the same time felt ridiculous.
He blushed because he suppressed a smile, Xu Jinyi shook his shoulders, clenched his fists, "Caomin, Caomin—"
Zheng Ronghan thought that Mr. Xiao was overwhelmed with shame and indignation, and felt pity and distress in his heart, so he stretched out his big palm and stroked Mr. Xiao's back up and down, his voice was soft and gentle, "It's nothing, it's nothing, such a woman is not worthy of it." Marrying Tianci, it is a good thing to recognize her true face early on."
"My lord." Unaware that he was being distressed by King An, Xu Jinyi stood up and bowed to Zheng Ronghan with a firm expression, "Miss Sun is dignified and virtuous, she will never do such despicable things, maybe—maybe the lord is wrong." Unknown."
"Impossible!" Zheng Ronghan shook his sleeves angrily, "Although the daughter of the Sun family did not blatantly scratch her head, her demeanor was undoubtedly deceptive. What's more, a three-year-old child knows that a woman's boudoir name should not be known to outsiders. The daughter of the clan speaks of her own name in front of this king!"
Zheng Ronghan became furious when he thought of this person's protection of the Sun's daughter, he leaned forward and almost touched the tip of Xu Jinyi's nose, "This king is His Royal Highness King An of the Daqing Dynasty, how could he slander a peasant woman? If I didn't have a good relationship with you, I'm afraid that you will be deceived by the Sun's daughter, so what will the Sun's daughter do to this king if she does not obey women's ways?"
Xu Jinyi seemed to be moved by King An's persuasion, with hesitation on his face, but in the end he saluted Zheng Ronghan, "My lord, Caomin believes in Miss Sun."
"You—hmph!" Zheng Ronghan stared at his eagle eyes, his hair stood on end, already extremely angry, he turned around and left, opened the door but stopped, "This king has his own way to let you see that grandson clearly. The true face of your daughter!"
After finishing speaking, Zheng Ronghan shook his sleeves and left.
Xu Jinyi looked at the wide-open door, and the lines between his eyebrows gradually wrinkled into several gullies.
Why did Zheng Ronghan prevent himself from fulfilling his marriage with Sun Peirou? Why did Zheng Ronghan disregard the face of his daughter's family and poke at Sun Peirou's little thoughts
Just hate what Sun Peirou did
Xu Jinyi shook his head. Zheng Ronghan is a proud person. His pride lies in that if he doesn't like a person, he will directly send his subordinates to fork that person out, so that that person will never have a chance to appear in front of him again.
To expose Sun Peirou's true face, and make myself willing to break off the engagement with Sun Peirou—
Xu Jinyi was stunned in place, could it be that Zheng Ronghan was to himself...
It wasn't that he was narcissistic. In the last different world, Zhao Chengli had no feelings for Meng Zijie, the official partner, and turned to courting him. In this world, Zheng Ronghan was the first to start loathing Sun Peirou, the official partner. It seemed that their happy marriage hadn't gotten off to a good start.
Just now, Zheng Ronghan frequently made some ambiguous little moves towards him.
That's all in the last life, Zhao Chengli was crooked, it's not too strange to like him, but Zheng Ronghan in this life is a straight straight man, if he really has intentions for him - Xu Jinyi covered his face and stopped thinking about it.

Several villagers in Lijia Village finished receiving their food and got on the third master's ox cart to drive back.
"Daughter of the Sun family, is the person who talked to you just now a gift from the Li family?" The third mother asked Sun Peirou curiously, holding the food she had received from the family.
Sun Peirou's mood had already calmed down a bit, but when the third lady mentioned Li Tianci, her depression and anger rose again. Sun Peirou let out two breaths of anger and forced a smile, "It's Brother Li."
"Hey, my daughter of the Sun family." The third mother patted her thigh, and her rough face of long-term labor smiled into a flower, "This Li family boy is actually working in the county government, so why can't he often see the county magistrate? If The boy from the Li family won the favor of the county magistrate and find a serious job in the county government, so he will also be a magistrate in the future?"
"No, the Li family boy is the only scholar master in the village. He is called Wenqu Xingxia, and he has a great fortune." A middle-aged man with a bit of experience clicked his tongue twice, "Don't look at him who has planted land at home for two years. Didn’t you immediately enter the county government office? Where is the county government office? If we go in, our legs will tremble, and only people like the Li family boy can do that!"
"That's right, the boy from the Li family is a man of good fortune. If he becomes an official lord, you, a daughter of the Sun family, will become an official wife." An aunt from the same village laughed and joked about Sun Peirou.
Sun Peirou lowered her head and remained silent. What is an official lady? That person just now was Prince An! If she can marry the prince and be his concubine, then her fortune will be far greater than Li Tianci's!
It's all because of Li Tianci's broken mouth that he actually told the marriage contract between them, so that the prince could hear it clearly. How could a man as noble as the prince marry a woman who had a marriage contract
Sun Peirou gritted her teeth, wishing to go back in time, to shut up Li Tianci's broken mouth first, and then go and perform well in front of Wang An, so that Wang An could discover her beautiful appearance, be moved by her, and be fascinated by her , because she is not married to a king.
"Hey, is the daughter of the Sun family shy?" San Niang clapped her hands, "Now that the government has distributed food, we have hope for the winter, and when God rains heavily next year, our life will be stable again. At that time, the wedding date of the daughter of the Sun family and the boy of the Li family is coming soon, we will all go to help you and let you get married happily!"
"Yeah, the day finally has hope."
"Hey? Isn't that Li's aunt? Why doesn't the one next to her look like Li's second child?"
In the distance, a woman followed an elderly man with a submissive look. If Xu Jinyi was here, he might be able to tell at a glance that the careful woman was Li Tianci's aunt Li Shenshi.
"You don't know yet." A woman tugged at another woman and bit her ear, "Half a month ago, Li's second son bought the Li family's aunt and sold it to an old widower in his fifties in Luoshui Village. I heard that That old widower is not a good person, he killed his first two wives."
"What crime did Aunt Li's family commit? Isn't her eldest son still alive? Don't you stop him?"
"There is no way, there is no food at home, and can you still starve to death? The second brother Li can only sell Aunt Li, and I heard that he bought ten catties of cornmeal."
"Ten catties of cornmeal?"
"What's ten catties of cornmeal? I heard that the drought in Linxian County is even more serious, and there are not a few big girls there who follow others because of a white flour cake."
"It will be fine, it will be fine, now the government has distributed food to us, when it rains in a few days, everything will be fine."
"My mother and father were not willing to eat a full meal when they were dying. If the weather is good in the coming year, I have to prepare a table of chicken, duck and fish for my parents to eat. a joy."
For a while, the men and women on the bullock cart fell silent, some wiped away their tears with their sleeves, and some were choked up sobbing uncontrollably.
Sun Peirou couldn't help shedding two lines of tears when she thought of her parents who loved her so much, and thought that her parents were able to be buried thanks to Brother Li. Brother Li was really kind to her, she thought that way just now, thinking about it now, she was really ashamed.
Forget it, she is also engaged to be married, and the prince will definitely not marry her. Brother Li is now able to work in the government office, which is considered capable. He is gentle and kind, and loves her very much. Even if he doesn't marry the prince, he doesn't care too much.
Sun Peirou bit her lip and lowered her head sadly.
