It's just that although Mrs. Tao persuaded Jiang Yashuang to come to discuss marriage in person, she didn't expect Qiu Yilan to be shocked and then decisively shake her head and refuse: "I am not as beautiful as a willow tree to serve a gentleman..."
"If you were Pu Liu, no one in this world would dare to call you beautiful." Probably because she had already said her proposal for marriage, Jiang Yashuang relaxed a lot and said straightforwardly, "In terms of appearance and identity, I am actually a bit reluctant to ask you to marry me. - I’m still a white person, so it’s only because of my fourth aunt that I dared to say this.”
"That's what it means anyway." Qiu Yilan simply said, "You talk about appearance and identity. In fact, I think that if I marry you, I am afraid that no one in the world will say that I have set you up. After all, I am no longer a person except myself. There is nothing else.”
As for the dowry of Princess Lian and Princess Ruan - given the current prominence of the Jiang family and the combined property of the entire Xihe Palace, I guess they wouldn't take it seriously.
Jiang Yashuang thought for a while and said: "I know what you are worried about, is it Seventeenth Sister and the others? Seventeenth Sister is just my cousin. To be honest, we don't see each other very often, and she is older than me. She must be here before you come." I had never known what Cousin Tao was thinking before. It was only after my grandmother warned me in private that I came to my senses. So I asked my grandmother to send her back to Tao's house, and also told her parents not to let her go in the future. She's coming."
Qiu Yilan sighed: "If you say that, I will misunderstand that you have been secretly in love with me for a long time."
"..." Although Jiang Yashuang was mentally prepared to tell the truth, she was calmed down by her words before she smiled awkwardly, "To be honest, I have always treated you like Yong Fu..."
"Then why do you suddenly want to marry me?" Qiu Yilan asked with a slight smile on her lips, "Is it because of responsibility? But you didn't want to trick me. What kind of responsibility do you bear?"
Jiang Yashuang said without thinking: "Although I didn't want to harm you, the deal is now done. If I don't marry you, the Gu family will never let you go."
"Even if today's incident hadn't happened, how could the Gu family be willing to let me go just because of two court meetings?" Qiu Yilan said disapprovingly, "You are overthinking. I ask my grandmother to thoroughly investigate today's incident. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it." After the commotion, I forced your family to give me an explanation - again, I really didn’t want to flatter you. "
As soon as she passes the Oiran competition, she can get back the dowry of the same value as Princess Lian and Princess Ruan - and then terminate the engagement with Deng Yi. With this net worth and her title of princess, although she is in the Jiang family, This kind of powerful person is not worth mentioning in front of her. Even Jiang Qisheng, a rich lady, dares to hit her, but in the eyes of ordinary people, she is still very noble. For example, Xun Yuxi recommended by Ruan Qingyan will definitely not dare not take her as the princess seriously. .
Forget about being a low-key young man. Qiu Yilan thought she was stupid for marrying into the Jiang family and becoming a rule-making young wife!
So he refused very decisively, "I know that you are a good person, General Jiang, but I really don't need you to do this. After all, General Jiang, you are still young. Now you are responsible for marrying me, in case you meet someone you like in the future." , wasn’t it that I was mistaken?”
Jiang Yashuang said calmly: "Since I married you, I should fulfill my husband's responsibilities, and I will definitely not let you down for the sake of the people I meet in the future. You can rest assured about this."
Qiu Yilan said sincerely: "I have always known that you are a good person!"
It's a pity that Jiang Yashuang didn't know about the existence of the good person card, and still said seriously: "So you don't have to worry about the future. No matter what, I will protect everything that your legitimate wife deserves."
"Even if I have a hard time giving birth and am jealous by nature?" Qiu Yilan counted the reasons she could give for refusing to marry: she was worried about Jiang Qisheng and Tao Peibin's feud, but Jiang Yashuang had already dealt with it; she was worried about Jiang Yashuang after marriage. He also promised to find another true love; he even promised that his elders, who had no support behind him, were in an awkward situation after marrying into a higher age -
But do you think I can't find a suitable excuse to refuse
Qiu Yilan didn't care that it was dark in the room, and Jiang Yashuang couldn't see her expression clearly. She cut to sadness in a second, and said in a faint tone, "Earlier, I encountered an avalanche in Dizi Mountain. Although I was lucky enough to survive, I was still alive. After walking in the snow for a long time, the coldness entered my body. Although the doctor didn't mention it to me, I heard through the wall that it would be difficult for me to give birth in the future. "
Then he added, "Of course, I can adopt concubines and have children, but after seeing what my uncle has done over the years, I don't want to have a bastard like my uncle in the future. So I went to court for the first time. I swore that I would never allow my husband to have a concubine in the future!”
Jiang Yashuang thought about it for a long time this time. Just when Qiu Yilan thought that he could give up the situation, he said: "Okay."
Young man, do you want to be so full of integrity? Could it be that the reason why Jiang Yadan and Jiang Qisheng are worse than the other is because you alone have taken over the integrity of the Jiang family
While Qiu Yilan was dumbfounded, she couldn't help but think: "Could it be that he actually has a problem, and my proposal just plays into his hands?!"
A certain princess with no lower limit, her eyes secretly moved down...
But I heard Jiang Yashuang say: "Anyway, the Jiang family's heirs are prosperous. From now on, we will adopt our nephew as our heir, but I don't know if you are willing?"
Qiu Yilan thought to herself, I don’t believe it’s hard for you! So he immediately said: "I don't want to! I'm not happy to raise other people's children!"
"Then let's wait until my nephew is older before he recognizes his name." Jiang Yashuang actually still gave in, "If you don't want to do this, we won't mention it during our lifetime. After a hundred years, I think my brother and nephew will do it for us." Cuisine.”
Qiu Yilan thought for a long time and asked cautiously: "Young general!"
Jiang Yashuang said: "I'm here."
"Actually, you have been deeply in love with me since the first time you met me, right?" Qiu Yilan sighed, "Now there are no outsiders here. If you tell the truth, will I still laugh? You?"
"..." Jiang Yashuang said after a moment, "I... um... to be honest, after that time, I just felt guilty for the princess." He said uncertainly, "Of course, after knowing the princess's situation all the time, I do feel sorry for the princess's helplessness."
"So you are definitely not interested in me when you come to propose marriage!" Qiu Yilan twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Okay, I know you have a good temper, so I will tell you directly, but I hope you don't fall out with me because of this: it's just guilt and Wanting to be responsible, you actually tolerated me again and again. I really have to wonder, what are you thinking? "
Young man, do you have enough moral integrity to spend your whole life trying to be responsible? ! It would be fine if you loved me till death, but you don't love me at all, okay? ! I’m not so messed up that I need you to take responsibility in order to survive, okay? !
Jiang Yashuang said in astonishment: "You mean you think I don't admire you enough, so you don't want to marry me? But our previous meetings were not polite, and we didn't have time to talk long for various reasons. How can we fall in love? After we got engaged, we kept in touch a lot. , I think the appointment should be a matter of course."
"No, no, no." Qiu Yilan said, "I'm curious why you want to take responsibility now? If you want to say that I suffered a loss, it was the first time we met that I suffered a big loss, okay? This matter today is compared to that What’s the point?”
"But the situation is different. Last time..." Jiang Yashuang's tone was still a little embarrassed, "No one knew last time, so I don't think I can mislead you. This time... it's hard not to spread the news. Naturally, I can't watch you suffer." ”
Qiu Yilan said: "In other words, even if it were not me, you would marry someone else?"
Jiang Yashuang muttered: "If we are a good match..."
"Well, I understand." Qiu Yilan interrupted him, "As long as I don't hate you, you will take this responsibility - you are such a good person - but have you ever considered whether I am willing to marry you? ?”
Without waiting for his answer, she continued, "I'm not saying you are bad. I have said you are a good person over and over again, and every time I say it from the bottom of my heart! But I still feel that I am not suitable to be your wife."
Jiang Yashuang thought for a while: "The princess doesn't like me?"
"No." Qiu Yilan thought for a while before replying, "You are a good person. Who doesn't like good people? It's just that I don't think my temperament is virtuous enough to be a wife of a noble family."
He added, "It is said that a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. I have this temperament and I don't want to change it at all!"
Jiang Yashuang muttered, "I don't think you have anything to change. The Jiang family's rules are not as harsh as you think."
nonsense! You are a much-loved grandchild, so of course you won’t feel harsh! Besides, when it comes to things like rules, can we have the same requirements for our son and daughter-in-law? !
The two of them were entangled at this point. Qiu Yilan was already hungry and was too lazy to continue eating mushrooms with him. She simply said: "As for my difficulty in giving birth and my unwillingness to have a concubine, I think you'd better go back and discuss it with the elders at home. , This should not be something you alone can decide.”
After a pause, he felt that he should not jeopardize his future by making excuses, and then said, "I believe you will not spread these words, especially to Miss Seventeen of your family."
Jiang Yashuang said: "I think..."
"I'm hungry!" Qiu Yilan stroked her forehead, "If you don't leave, I won't be able to go out to eat!"
"...Farewell!" Jiang Yashuang seemed confused for a moment, bowed her hands, stepped back towards the screen, and left.
Qiu Yilan was left with a faint sigh: "Why do I feel that he was suddenly so impulsive, as if he was instigated?" If it was instigated, Qiu Yilan felt that Mrs. Tao was the most likely.
The question is, "I just fell in love with her, took a photo of her, and couldn't wait to send her grandson to climb over the wall to propose? Jiang Yashuang is her grandson, isn't it? Oh... Jiang Yashuang is really not her biological child." But she was the one who raised her, right?"
She thought about it for a while but couldn't come up with a definite clue, so she simply got up and said, "Forget it, let's go eat first, don't scare Su He and the others."
Unexpectedly, she just opened the door a crack and someone fell in!
"Su He?!" Qiu Yilan was so shocked that she almost stabbed him with a knife! Fortunately, a lamp was lit outside and Su He's face was illuminated in time!
"What are you doing here!" Qiu Yilan helped the trembling little maid and asked angrily, "Didn't I say I would come out in a while?!"
Su He said cautiously: "But... it's been almost an hour... Grandma was worried, so she sent me over to wait... I... I was afraid that the princess would sound so soft when she was hungry that I wouldn't hear her, so... she just leaned against the door... "
Okay, she was just eavesdropping!
