C3 Parents' Lives

At first glance, the man in front of me looked as if he had walked out of a painting, but he was standing so real in front of me.

His facial features were exquisite, his outline was clear, and his wheat-colored skin made him look even more masculine. He was taller than a head of mine, and his hair was tied in a bun. It seemed like he was not married yet.

My God, why should I consider whether he was married or not?

"That's right, I am the one who is calling you!" His voice was very pleasant to hear, deep but full of magnetism.

For a moment, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. My eyes and my mind were somewhat flustered. Moreover, I actually didn't dare to continue looking directly at him.

My God, what's wrong with me? Could this be the legendary love at first sight? Then I'm too shallow. I was actually attracted by a man's appearance.

I always told myself that one must look at the person's inner self, especially when choosing a husband. I wanted to see if the other party had any inner meaning. But now, because of this man's appearance, I actually moved my heart towards him.

I despise myself, seriously despise myself!

"You... Why did you call me... for?" I actually stuttered when I spoke! I really want to slap myself, At the same time, I cursed myself in my heart: shallow!

"You just caused a ruckus in the teahouse. I was unfortunately drenched in your tea. How do you think this should be resolved?" He flicked his sleeves and swept his body, indicating for me to look at his clothes.

So you're looking for me to settle the score. I don't know why, but I'm a little disappointed.

After dirtying his clothes, it was only natural for him to make compensation. I took out my wallet, took out an ingot of gold, and handed it to him. At the same time, I said, "I'm really sorry just now. This is for you. It should be enough to compensate for your clothes."

He snorted coldly and replied, "It's not enough!"

I carefully looked at the clothes he was wearing and slightly frowned. Although the material of the clothes was very good, a gold ingot was completely enough. He was actually not satisfied. Looks like he wanted to blackmail me.

The good impression and infatuation that I had for him disappeared in an instant. Although I was unwilling to be blackmailed, at this moment, I just wanted to quickly settle it. Because I still have to rush back to the manor and find Big Brother to explain the situation to him and ask him to solve Young Master Soong's problem.

Thus, I shook my purse and directly handed it to him, saying, "This should be enough, right?"

He actually didn't even look at it and directly said, "Not enough!"

My anger rose, and I didn't say much. I put away the purse in my hand and said, "Forget it!"

I don't want to give it to him. It's a piece of clothing. I don't even have enough gold and silver in my purse. Does he still want to extort my people?

Although he looks good, his character... I really don't dare to flatter him. Even if I beat him to death, I wouldn't give myself to a person like him. Moreover, this matter isn't to the extent that I have to compensate myself.

After going around him, I prepared to head towards the street. Unexpectedly, he dodged. He passed me and snatched the jade pendant from my waist.

"What are you doing!?" I glared at him and questioned.

He did not look at me. He stroked my jade pendant and muttered to himself, "That's more like it."

"Give it back to me!" In my anger, I reached out to grab it.

With a flash, I hit the wall beside me. My forehead hit the wall. I couldn't help but let out an "Aiya" sound.

When he saw my sorry state, his cold face actually revealed a trace of a smile. Although it was beautiful, I wasn't in the mood to appreciate it, because I knew that he was mocking me.

I became even angrier and reached out to grab the jade pendant in his hand. He dodged again and dodged again.

I got angrier and angrier. He got happier and angrier. The more he got the jade pendant, the more furious he got. Finally, I found an opportunity. I thought I could get the jade pendant back, so I threw myself at him with all my might.

He dodged me again, but I couldn't stop. What I would have to face next would be falling to the opposite pile of rocks.

Just as I was about to lose hope and fall with a face full of flowers, I suddenly felt my chest tighten and my body stop in midair.

He... he actually... used his bracelet to wrap around my body, moreover... he wrapped it around my chest. Although I avoided falling into a pile of rocks, but... I was eaten by him.

"Ah -!!!" I shouted loudly, then turned around and raised my hand to slap him the moment I steadied myself.

"How dare you hit me!?"

"I'll hit you, what do you think!?"

The two of us glared at each other, and the atmosphere was in a deadlock for a moment.

After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "I won't lower myself to your level." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

In addition to being angry, I didn't forget to take back my jade pendant. I shouted at him: "Return my jade pendant!"

"No!" Without turning his head, he coldly uttered these two words and left.

"Ah -!!!" I let out a long angry roar, and then I could only dejectedly return home.

Big Brother came to me, and after I told him about the Qing Yun Teahouse, I buried my head in my room. I didn't even have the mood to eat dinner anymore.

What is this? Not only did I lose the jade pendant that I had worn since I was young, I was also taken advantage of. I don't want my face anymore.

Fortunately, I didn't lose my body. Otherwise, I would really have to die.

Seeing that it was getting dark, my stomach began to growl. I didn't eat lunch or dinner. Now I'm both angry and hungry.

I'm already depressed enough that I've been wronged. I can't torture myself because of this, right? After comforting myself for a while, I got up and opened the door. I called Tangtang over and asked her to help me prepare the food.

After eating, my mood became much better. Tangtang tidied up the table and sister-in-law came to look for me.

"Why are you only using dinner?" Sister-in-law asked as soon as she entered the room.

"I slept in the afternoon and only woke up now." I replied.

At the same time, I poured a cup of tea for sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law took the tea and took a sip. Then she said, "Yutong, you are not young anymore. Other family's young miss, like you, has already married someone at your age. Do you have any thoughts about your marriage?"

"As soon as sister-in-law speaks, I know why she came here tonight.

"Today, my parents just happened to talk about my marriage. When she came here, she brought up this matter again. She must have come to be a lobbyist.

Sister-in-law's other identity was the current dynasty's third princess . Lady Imperial Noble Consort was her birth mother and she was the same milk kin as Fifth Prince.

Mother was Lady Imperial Noble Consort's older sister and big brother married Lady Imperial Noble Consort's daughter. If I marry Fifth Prince again, our Xuan Ping Marquis Mansion would be clearly on Fifth Prince's side.

Although I don't object to supporting Fifth Prince, I don't want to marry him as my wife. With our current relationship with Fifth Prince, I feel that there is no need for them to let me marry him. It is a complete waste of resources.

Wouldn't it be better if they let Fifth Prince marry another young lady?

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to get married yet!" I said bluntly.

"Women will get married sooner or later, and you're not young anymore. It's time to consider marriage."

"Marriage matters are decided by my parents. I'll listen to them."

"Mother means to give you to Fifth Prince. What do you think?" Sister-in-law took the opportunity to say what she was thinking.

"Fifth Prince is my cousin. He has been very good to me since I was young. Of course, I don't hate him. However, he and I only have the love of brother and sister. We don't have any love between men and women. So... I don't want to marry him."

"My silly sister. Love between men and women can be slowly nurtured. You guys have such a good foundation. Naturally, you guys will be easy to get along with in the future. In my sister-in-law's opinion, you are the most suitable to marry him."

I have already clearly told Sister-in-law about my attitude, but she still insists on persuading me. I am a little troubled, but because of her identity and the relationship between big brother, I suppress the emotions in my heart and politely refuse again, "Sister-in-law, I do not want to marry him."

"Yutong..."

Seeing that she still wants to persuade me, sister-in-law, I immediately interrupted her, "I'm a bit sleepy and want to sleep early. Let's talk about this another day."

Sister-in-law sighed and helplessly said, "Alright, alright, whatever you want." She got up and walked to the door. Suddenly, she stopped and turned around. "Mother and I want you to marry Fifth Prince. After all, we know each other well. It's better than the young general of Han family whom we have never met before. Think about it."

I don't have the mood to think about it. I'm feeling depressed about what happened during the day. I was robbed of my jade pendant and eaten tofu, but I don't even know what that person's name is. It's really infuriating!

...

Days passed. During this period of time, other than Hongyue coming to the manor to visit and thank me, I basically stayed in my own small courtyard every day.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. On this day, I was still lying on the rocking chair under the willow tree, looking like I was waiting to die.

Tangtang hurriedly ran in and reported in a low voice, "Miss, the Han family has come to propose marriage!"

"What?! Propose a marriage proposal? Or Han family?" I suddenly sat up from the chair and looked at Tangtang as I asked.

"Yes, the Han family came to propose marriage, and... and..."

"And what?" I anxiously asked.

"And the old master has already agreed." Tangtang carefully replied.

Hearing this, it was as if a bucket of cold water was watering my hair. In an instant, my entire body froze.

The air was still hot but my heart was cold.

Father, why are you so anxious to marry me out? I was still thinking of taking advantage of the fact that you and mother haven't reached an agreement to have fun for a few years.

Although I pretended to be the young master of the Han family a few days ago and fought for justice, I don't really understand Han Jingyi at all.

What does he look like? I don't know what he looks like, what kind of character, and what kind of conduct he has. At this moment, I actually feel that I might as well marry Fifth Prince.

No, no, no! What am I thinking? How can I just break a pot like this? No, it sounded like Fifth Prince was wronged.

Aiya, what am I thinking? I am the one who is wronged now, right? Dad is also the same. At least before he agrees, he should ask for my opinion. Now that he has agreed, I have no way out.

The fate of his parents and the words of matchmaker. Now, whether it was the big bearded man or the foolish child, Han Jingyi... Right now, I can only marry him.

No, I can't just appoint him like this. I have to think of a way.

Big Brother! The first thing I thought of was Big Brother, so I immediately got up and ran towards Big Brother's study.

Knowing that Big Brother was receiving important guests in the front yard, I waited directly in his study. When he was done with his work, he would definitely return to the study to take care of official business, so it was most suitable for me to wait here for him.

However, when I was about to fall asleep, my big brother returned to the study.

"Little Sister, why are you here? Why are you looking for me?" Yang asked.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, I woke up. Hearing Yang's question, I immediately threw myself into his arms and said coquettishly: "Big Brother, you have to make the decision for me!"
