C17 A Room Full of Actors

"What?" When the three people who had rushed over heard about the severity of the situation, they were shocked.

Qianqian signaled them not to be impatient and then served tea to the three of them. They stood to the side and let Yun Shen and Xiao Zheng explain.

Xiao Zheng understood and told her the story. Looking at the old lady's expression darken, he thought it was bad. It must be because of Miss Yun's incident that made her angry.

As Xiao Zheng expected, the old lady didn't mention a word about the crown prince at all, and instead asked about Qianqian's matters, "You said that the rumors were being spread, and that your Huichun Valley has a share as well?"

"Yes sir!" Xiao Zheng thought about it, and still admitted it straightforwardly: "Old Ancestor, don't worry. This matter will definitely be handled properly by Huichun Valley, give Yun Family an explanation."

"There's no need to explain Yun Family, you must give Qianqian an explanation!" Yun Feng was so angry that he brushed his sleeves, "Qianqian, marriage will be difficult in the future, is your Huichun Valley going to be able to arrange it?"

"This …" Xiao Zheng had a troubled expression on his face when he heard this. He thought for a moment and said as if he had made a decision, "If the Old Ancestor and Uncle don't mind, I, Xiao Ming, am willing to marry Miss."

"What?" When Qianqian heard that Xiao Zheng wanted to marry her, she exclaimed in shock, "No way, I don't even know who you are."

When the old lady heard this, she remained calm. Xiao Zheng was indeed a rare young talent in terms of family background, not to mention his handsome looks. According to Yun Shen, his literary skills were not bad and he was indeed a good choice. After thinking for a moment, the old lady continued, "When it comes to matters of marriage, it's always the order of a parent and the words of the matchmaker. Not to mention whether your parents will agree or not, with your identity, do you think it's appropriate for you to marry our family's Qianqian?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng said respectfully, "Old Ancestor, don't worry. Although he was born in the royal family, he will inherit the Huichun Valley in the future. He is not related to the royal family in any way, and my parents have never restricted me.

If the Old Ancestor does not believe me, this is my keepsake, bestowed by my mother, and my name is carved on it. Just this one, seeing this item is equivalent to seeing me, and it can now be given to the young miss. Xiao Zheng said as he took the jade pendant from his waist, placed it on the table and pushed it in front of the old lady.

The old lady looked at the jade pendant with a slightly moved expression. Qianqian saw the old lady's expression soften and felt anxious. She was about to say something, but was stopped by Yun Shen.

"Let's not bring up the matter of the marriage. Let's settle the matter of the crown prince first." The old lady saw that Xiao Zheng's expression was sincere and did not seem to be faking it, so she let out a sigh of relief, "The Yun Mansion Merchant's house has too many people, and if you were to run over to Qianqian's place, it would not be a solution. Qianqian had finally managed to wake up from her coma, so it wouldn't be a big deal for her to lie down on her bed and pretend to be sick."

The old lady thought for a moment, then said, "It's better to have my old wife pretend to be sick."

Madam Lee showed a troubled expression when she heard this. "The Old Ancestor may be old, but he's grown stronger and stronger. He hasn't had any pain in the past few years. If he were to get sick for no reason …"

When the old lady heard this, she also felt that Madam Lee's words made sense. "There has to be a reason."

The old lady thought for a moment and swept her gaze over Qianqian and Xiao Zheng. She had an idea in her heart, "Just say that I got sick from anger."

"Sick?" Everyone was puzzled.

The old lady nodded, suddenly she picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the floor, saying in a clear voice, "Good, Xiao Zheng. Taking advantage of others' misfortune, you want to marry us Qianqian, why don't you show your sincerity."

With that, he placed his hands on his chest and leaned towards Yun Feng. When the crowd saw the old lady's actions, they understood and immediately began to work together.

"Old Ancestor, what's wrong with you? Xiao Zheng, a little person like you actually made the Old Ancestor angry." Yun Feng also rushed forward to support the old lady, "Somebody, the Old Ancestor is so angry. Yun Zhi, Yun Lu!"

Yun Zhi heard a crackling sound inside, then heard the old lady's and Yun Feng's shouts. She immediately pushed open the door and saw that the old lady had fainted in Yun Feng's arms. Xiao Zheng was taking the old lady's pulse.

Yun Zhi and Yun Lu immediately went forward to help the old lady settle down on the bed.

Xiao Zheng apologized after finishing the pulse, "The old lady fainted due to qi and blood attacking her heart. I will wake up in a while after practicing a set of acupuncture. When I wake up, I will prescribe some medicine for the old lady."

With that, he called Yun Lan to call Qing Xiang over, took out the needle from the medicine box and gave it to the old lady for acupuncture. Although the old lady was pretending to be unconscious, the needle on her body didn't hurt.

Everyone saw the old lady's relaxed expression and knew that Xiao Zheng wasn't just carelessly pricking the needle, so they were relieved. After a while, Xiao Zheng put away the needle and the old lady also woke up, but she didn't look too good.

Seeing the old lady 'awaken', Xiao Zheng said warmly, "Old ancestor, I sincerely wish to marry the young lady. I will leave this jade pendant with you as a keepsake. "Old Ancestor, you were in a rush just now, so even though you have woken up, you still need to take care of it. I will open a prescription for you later, and I would like to ask you to take medicine on time and come back tomorrow to check your pulse."

Saying that, he stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and left with Qing Xiang.

Qianqian was speechless. Heavens, this was a room full of actors. She had completely forgotten that she had been 'sold' by the old lady.
