Perfect Encounter - Chapter 93

The timing did almost match. But these alone are not enough.

An Ruochen said softly, “I need evidence.”

“If there is no evidence, people go to the building. What can you do with the testimony of a little girl? Back then, the prefect sent someone to search all the houses near the top pavilion. They didn’t find it. You said, Qian Pei and How deep is the prefect’s friendship?”

An Ruochen didn’t know. But it is a fact that Qian Pei was extremely arrogant in front of the prefect. She also witnessed the helplessness and forbearance of Yao Kun and Qian Shixin when they stood together facing Qian Pei. One is a student and the other is a son. If it is said that the prefect is respectful and tolerant, but Qian Pei has lost his qualifications and morals, and has long since lost the qualification to be respected, let alone Yao Kungui, who is the prefect, is not an ordinary official.

An Ruochen felt that her original calculation was wrong. Things were more complicated than she imagined.

An Ruochen rushed back to Ziyun Building, intending to go to the general barracks to report the new news to Long Da and listen to his judgment. Zhou Changshi heard that she was going to the barracks, but said: “Mr. Huo came to Zhonglan today, and General Long is going to Sixiajiang, in case one side welcomes guests and the other sends soldiers. If the girl has something urgent, she has to go to Sixiajiang. Only the Xiajiang barracks can see the general.”

An Ruochen was stunned, Sixia River was far away, Huo Mingshan had already left Zhonglan City as soon as she went back and forth. These few days are key. Seeing the posture of the prefect and the officials, as well as the pomp of Jiang Song personally leading the guards, she knew the importance of Huo Mingshan.

But she also knew that there were spies in the army and the yamen, and now she also knew that there might be something hidden about the relationship between the prefect and Qian Pei. And if Qian Pei belonged to that gang, did Qian Shixin know? What about the other officials in the yamen? What about the merchants in the city, large and small, who circle around Qian Pei?

An Ruochen decided not to go. These few days are the key, and the distant water cannot save the near fire, so she will just watch here.

Seeing An Ruochen’s appearance, Zhou Changshi thought she was worried about the military situation, so he hurriedly comforted him: “Don’t worry, girl, Mr. Huo is here to negotiate peace on behalf of Nanqin. The general went to Sixiajiang just in case someone thinks that I, Da Xiao, will relax my vigilance at this time. Make chaos. Negotiating peace is necessary, and the border gate of Junwei Town is also necessary. Besides, there is General Jiang in this city. Things like Liu Ze and Li Changshi in the past will not happen again. As soon as the sun goes down, the city is under curfew. The guards are patrolling, the army has a hundred guards and the government officials are arresting the head, with so many people, it is like enclosing Mr. Huo’s house on three floors inside and outside, and no flies can fly in, let alone an assassin.”

An Ruochen said: “My lord is right. With such comprehensive precautions, there will be no trouble. It’s just that the general has gone to the Sixia River, so I don’t know if he is missing anything. The coldest spring is the most freezing, so I still write a letter to the general to avoid He thought I didn’t care about him.”

An Ruochen went back to the house and wrote a letter. In the letter, she expressed her concern for Zhou Changshi about adding clothes to prevent the spring cold, and said that she went to the street today to watch the excitement, and the envoy’s entry into the city was really grand. There are prefects in charge of the city, and generals guarding outside the city. Although the current situation is not good, she feels at ease. The influence of Mr. Xie and his gang in Zhonglan City has been disintegrated, and she feels that she has contributed a lot to this, but the general has not yet praised her well. Of course, she didn’t mind this. When she was on the street today, she saw the festivities like Chinese New Year, and suddenly remembered that she had been living in fear since she got engaged to Qian Pei. At the beginning, I thought that Xiao Nanqin inside and outside the city was all Qian Pei’s connections, and she would be like a prisoner in her life, and being locked in the courtyard by him would be worse than death. Unexpectedly, there was a chance to escape later. Now the prefect’s wife is helping me with the preparations for the marriage with the general. Please rest assured, the general, and please take good care of yourself.

After An Ruochen finished writing, she read it again carefully to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, and only hoped that the general could understand her hints. She handed the letter to Zhou Changshi, and Zhou Changshi will hand over the letter to the general along with the official report.

Thank you An Ruochen. Then she went to the prefect’s wife, Meng Jiayue.

Meng Jiayue is confirming whether the details of the welcome dinner are ready. An Ruochen was embarrassed and said that he didn’t come here to cause trouble, but he didn’t have much experience before, and he didn’t have much chance to see the official banquet. He was worried that he would embarrass the general when he returned to Beijing with the general. So I want to take this opportunity to come and study with my wife.

Naturally, Meng Jiayue didn’t mind, she led An Ruochen to talk inside and out, and explained to her carefully the rules of various official banquets. Speaking of the evening guest Huo Mingshan, An Ruochen asked naturally: “I heard that Mr. Huo was also the envoy for the peace talks between Da Xiao and Nanqin seventeen years ago.”

“Exactly.” Thinking of the past, Meng Jiayue was a little dazed.

“lady.”

Meng Jiayue heard the call, came back to her senses, forced a smile and said: “I was seventeen that year, about the same age as you are now.”

An Ruochen lowered his head and said softly, “I’ve heard of it.”

Meng Jiayue understood what she meant, “Yeah.” She nodded, “I’ve heard a lot too.”

An Ruochen was amused by Meng Jiayue’s tone.

Meng Jiayue also laughed: “It’s been a long time. It’s been seventeen years in a blink of an eye.” She looked at An Ruochen and said, “I didn’t expect that after so many years, everything seems to repeat itself.”

An Ruochen didn’t speak, she waited for Meng Jiayue to continue. Meng Jiayue asked her: “Have you also heard of my father’s death?”

“I heard that before the peace talks, Prefect Meng was killed by an assassin.”

“That battle almost continued. At that time, Mr. Huo heard the bad news. Before waiting for the welcome car, he rushed over and shouted that peace is the most important thing. On behalf of the Southern Qin Emperor, he was willing to be a hostage. , if this matter is really what Nan Qin did, he will pay with his life.” Meng Jiayue thought of the situation at that time, and looked down at her hands.

“At that time, my heart was full of hatred for Nan Qin. I knelt down in front of General Long, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and begged him not to stop the war, and begged him to kill Nan Qin to avenge my father’s blood hatred. At that time, Mr. Huo knelt on one knee at me. In front of me, put a sword into my hand. He said, child, war is not about pleasure and enmity, but a disaster that will destroy the world. It is not about shedding tears and moving your mouth, but about blood and pain. Why did your father sacrifice? Don’t let the traitor succeed , don’t teach the people to suffer. This sword is given to you, and General Long and everyone can be witnesses. I have no complaints when you take my life with this sword, and please don’t pursue it. But please let me kill your father Finish what you want to do.”

An Ruochen was moved when he heard this, and couldn’t help but imagine what kind of demeanor this Mr. Huo is. She asked: “It is said that it was later found out that the assassins were people from the Great Xiao who lost their family members due to the war between the two countries. When they heard that they wanted to negotiate a peace, they blamed Prefect Meng for the assassination. Is it true?”

Meng Jiayue nodded. “It was my husband who found out the real culprit. The man confessed to his crimes and asked why he killed his family before negotiating peace. Who will pay for his family’s lives?”

An Ruochen was sad to hear that, and Meng Jiayue also had tears in her eyes. She wiped her eyes and said with a wry smile: “After the man asked to be killed, I couldn’t feel at ease at all. If he died, my father wouldn’t be able to come back to life, and if the peace was negotiated, his family wouldn’t be able to come back to life either. “

“It would be great if we didn’t have to fight.” An Ruochen said in a low voice, thinking of Long Da. I remembered that he said that generals are not afraid of war, but I wish there would be no war.

Meng Jiayue was also immersed in her memories, and took a long breath of relief: “In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and Mr. Huo came again. I heard that this time, he came here alone again, and shouldered the responsibility. If there are people in the two countries who can Mr. Huo is the only one with such prestige. If he goes to the capital and sees the emperor, things will definitely turn around. I heard that the emperor respects Mr. Huo, so he should be willing to listen to what he has to say.”

An Ruochen took the opportunity to say: “This Mr. Huo is really admirable, but not everyone can abide by the virtues and virtues like him until he grows old. Look at Master Qian, he said that he was also capable when he was young, Mr. Taishou He is also his student, but I didn’t expect to become like this now…”

Meng Jiayue showed some disgust and dissatisfaction when she heard Qian Pei: “Mr. Qian and Mr. Huo are naturally incomparable.”

An Ruochen sighed, and said: “Speaking of it, I’m also quite embarrassed, and I’ve troubled the prefect several times. I see Qian Pei being so disrespectful to the lord, and I feel uncomfortable. Don’t let the prefect offend me because of me.” It’s good to be in trouble.”

“How could it be?” Meng Jiayue said: “My lord should be the master for the people. Mr. Qian misbehaved, so he should be vigilant. My lord reads as a teacher and student, and treats him politely. He is very tolerant, is that Mr. Qian has lost character and morality, and one day he will cause trouble.”

“I think so too, I’m afraid that the prefect will be dragged down by him.”

These words are poking at Meng Jiayue’s heart. In these years, I have really felt wronged for my lord, and I really wish that the lord can punish that wicked person one day, in an open and aboveboard manner, just as a mountain. But my husband-in-law is a bit soft-tempered, he always says that one more thing is worse than one less thing, and he always said that the friendship between a teacher and a teacher should not be forgotten, and it’s not a big matter that makes a lot of noise. Meng Jiayue first blamed herself for not being considerate of her husband’s respect for teachers, and secondly she blamed Qian Pei for not knowing what is good and what is wrong. When the resentment was too heavy, she would think of the sword that Huo Mingshan gave her back then. Maybe she is indeed selfish and doesn’t understand the overall situation that Xianggong said.

An Ruochen observed Meng Jiayue’s expression, looked left and right, and whispered in her ear: “When I was still in An’s house, I overheard Qian Pei and my father bragging after drinking, saying that the prefect would also Looking at his face, he said a few stupid words, which seems to mean that the prefect has something in his hands.”

Meng Jiayue was taken aback for a moment, very surprised.

An Ruochen said: “I was terrified of Qian Pei before, and it was because I heard what he said that even the prefect was afraid of him, so what should I do? Later, I really had no choice, so I gritted my teeth and beat the drums to find the lord It’s up to you. At the time, I was also in despair, but after I got in touch with you and my wife, I realized that you are not what Qian Pei said at all.”

Meng Jiayue was furious, and scolded: “That **** dares to slander Your Excellency outside like this.” He was so angry that he didn’t even care about the title.

“It is well known that he has taught the adults to read, and relied on his own son to become the county magistrate. Everyone knows that he can call the wind and rain in Pingnan County. I was thinking, he boasted arrogantly, like me. It’s okay for ordinary people to listen to it, even if they misunderstand the adults, it doesn’t matter much, but now it’s a time of chaos, the court and the emperor are all staring at Pingnan County. I heard the general say so. The general still I said that the magistrate of Maojun once had a disagreement with the magistrate. I feel that if some inappropriate words are passed on to the court or used by someone with a heart, wouldn’t the lord be very wronged?”

Meng Jiayue frowned tightly. “What other rumors have you heard?”

An Ruochen said: “I didn’t pay attention to these things, but now I’m all focused on the investigation and details. I’m not rushing words. I just talked about this with Madam when I thought about it.”

As expected, Meng Jiayue has been an official for many years, and she is well versed in the inside and outside. She said to An Ruochen: “There are some things that are not convenient for me to come forward. When you investigate the matter, help me to pay attention. If you catch someone talking nonsense , Immediately report to the court. Convict him of false accusations, as a warning to others.”

An Ruochen agreed without hesitation, and said in a low voice: “Ma’am, please be careful. Qian Pei has a lot of bad ideas. He took a fancy to my fourth sister at the beginning. He knew that she was too young to marry right away, so he thought of getting engaged to me first. , and then set a trap for my father with business, and forced my fourth sister to enter his house on the same day as me. My father was deeply tricked and kept in the dark. That’s why he suffered the 20 big slaps Your Excellency is thinking about your teacher’s kindness, so you may not be able to see it clearly, Madam must pay attention, and don’t let Qian Pei harm your Excellency.”

Meng Jiayue took a breath. She had heard about the matter of An Ruochen’s fourth sister, and the matter of An Zhifu being fined 20 boards by adults, but she had never thought about it in this way. Now that I heard it, Qian Pei actually used all means to achieve his goals and had far-reaching arrangements. “You’re right.” Meng Jiayue held An Ruochen’s hand, “You’re right.”

An Ruochen held Meng Jiayue’s hand back, said caring words, and promised Meng Jiayue to pay attention to all kinds of news, and report to her immediately if there is anything that is not good for the prefect. An Ruochen was a little disappointed, it seemed that Meng Jiayue didn’t know much about Qian Pei. She couldn’t explain the matter too clearly, Meng Jiayue was focused on Yao Kun, but she was not sure how Yao Kun and Qian Pei would be. Revealing too many doubts, I’m afraid it’s a tip-off to Qian Pei.

An Ruochen stayed in the eunuch’s mansion till night, her status was not high enough to attend the banquet. But she said she wanted to see the scene, so Meng Jiayue took her to the banquet, and introduced to Huo Mingshan that she was General Longteng’s fiancée, who met in Zhonglan City. An Ruochen was also happy to see Huo Mingshan’s demeanor as he wished. Meng Jiayue gave Huo Mingshan the sword that Huo Mingshan gave her back in public, saying that it was a sword that had witnessed peace, and wished Huo Mingshan a smooth trip to Beijing.

Everyone saw this scene and recalled the past. An Ruochen stood in the corner, observing quietly, everyone sighed, and Yao Kun was so moved that his eyes turned red.

An Ruochen retreated according to the etiquette and went to find Fang Yuan. Quietly asked him if the records from seventeen years ago could still be found? Fang Yuan asked her why, but An Ruochen said that she didn’t understand Huo Mingshan and had withdrawn from the court, so why didn’t she travel thousands of miles away to repeat what she did seventeen years ago. Today, I heard the magistrate’s wife talk about the past, and she wanted to see if the record of assassinating the prefect Yao was related to the current crime.

Fang Yuan was stunned, and asked: “Miss, do you suspect that Mr. Huo has something to do with the crime?”

“I’m a bit suspicious. Mr. Huo is admired by everyone. I don’t want to be the target of public criticism. That’s why I want to quietly read the case records. It’s best if nothing happens. If there are clues related to the current detailed crime, I have to report to the adults in time. report.”

Fang Yuan nodded and promised to help her find it.

An Ruochen wanted to go to the guest courtyard again, but was stopped at the courtyard gate. The guards knew An Ruochen, politely said that the guest house was closed, and no entry was allowed without the eunuch’s warrant. An Ruochen looked at it from a distance, and it was really three steps and one post. After a while, Jiang Song came and asked her what’s the matter. It seemed that there was something troublesome, and the notification was very fast. An Ruochen thought to himself, with such guards, Mr. Huo’s safety should be worry-free.

An Ruochen returned to Ziyun Tower very late. Aunt Lu came to report, saying that Mrs. Xue’s family had posted a message, explaining that she and her son Xue Xuran would be in Xixiu Hall at the end of the day, inviting An Ruochen to choose some jewelry and have a look at each other.

An Ruochen naturally understood what Mrs. Xue meant, she was surprised by Mrs. Xue’s eagerness, she really rushed every day. An Ruochen thought for a while, and asked Aunt Lu if she had any news about Qian Pei. Aunt Lu went out to inquire today, and replied: “Master Qian has never entered the city, and his mansion in Zhonglan has not been lived in.”

An Ruochen pondered, Huo Mingshan’s entry into the city is a major event for the whole county, and Zhonglan is so busy, why didn’t Qian Pei come? Mr. Xie must have left Zhonglan, but he must have a successor. If Mr. Xie has been taken care of by Qian Pei in the past few years to hide himself in the market, what about his successor? Just in case I change the house, where can I change it? Qian Pei not coming to Zhonglan, does it mean that they understand that the defense is too tight and dare not attack Zhonglan City?

Mr. Xie was also meditating by the candlelight. Someone knocked on the door, came in, sat opposite him, and asked him, “What’s the matter?”

A smile appeared on Mr. Xie’s round face, and he looked very kind: “Everything is arranged, Huo Mingshan will definitely die in the prefect’s mansion.”

The person opposite him laughed loudly: “I really want to see Yao Kun’s expression when he sees Huo Mingshan’s body. He must not have expected why such a defense would go wrong.”

Mr. Xie thought for a while and laughed: “Yao Kun held the imperial decree of the inspector’s arrival in one hand, and the news of Huo Mingshan’s death in the other. He hurriedly sent the replay of Huo Mingshan’s going to Beijing, and the official customs clearance documents of various counties , to tell the world that Huo Mingshan is with him.”

“And then died.”

The two laughed together.

Mr. Xie said: “That fellow Long Teng must have turned green with anger.”

“So, I really want to see Long Teng’s expression when he hears the news.”

“They dug this hole for themselves. They thought they were smart. They laughed so hard.”

“That’s not it.” The man opposite sneered.

Mr. Xie looked at him and said, “You have to be more careful. I heard that you act recklessly without restraint, and I exaggerated, but unexpectedly you really did. You revealed about An Ruofang, which aroused suspicion. This matter must be resolved. I dare not treat An Ruochen lightly, and neither can you. “

“Then catch her back.” The man smiled. “I will make her submissive and obedient.”

Mr. Xie gave him a sideways look.

The man sneered again: “Look, how many things you have accomplished by relying on me, but you always don’t listen to my suggestions.”

Mr. Xie said: “Don’t worry, it’s not yet time.”

An Ruochen didn’t sleep well all night, and always felt that something was not at ease. But after much deliberation, I can’t figure out where I can go wrong. In the end, I felt that the general was in the Sixia River, a little far away, and Mr. Huo hadn’t arrived in the capital yet, which always made people worry. She really couldn’t do anything else, so she got up and accepted Mrs. Xue’s appointment first, and then asked Aunt Lu to send a message to the second sister.

Yao Kun went to visit Huo Mingshan early in the morning, and Huo Mingshan was well overnight, nothing happened. According to the plan, Yao Kun invited Huo Mingshan to have breakfast together, and when he returned to the house, he had already let a person who was similar to Huo Mingshan live in Huo Mingshan’s room. Huo’s entourage, Cao Yihan, lived in the outer room. Go to the cottage on the opposite corner of the same yard. All went well without anyone noticing.

Yao Kun was very satisfied, and went back to the Yamen to deal with official duties as usual, but at this time, he heard that the messenger arrived quickly, and there was an imperial order. Yao Kun hurried to pick it up. After opening it, the decree said that Pingnan and Maojun have been in turmoil recently, with constant conflicts with neighboring countries, and frequent major cases. The case has not been solved, and the prefect is responsible. He led his subordinate officials to Maojun and Pingnan for inspection.

Yao Kun frowned, and asked the messenger carefully. The order of soldiers and other imperial decrees have been sent to the general barracks to General Long Teng and Maojun Taishou Shi Pingqing. Mr. Liang Dehao has already set off from the capital for Mao County, and he should be there in a while. Master Bai Yingbai came to Pingnan County under Master Liang’s order, and he should arrive in a while. Please be ready to welcome the inspector, Mr. Taishou.

Yao Kun knew it in his heart. Thinking about it, the envoy’s death angered Long Yan mainly. Shi Pingqing hadn’t solved the case for a long time, and couldn’t give Dong Ling an explanation. Liang Dehao had no choice but to come over to clean up his mess. Yao Kun complained about Shi Pingqing again, and was really dragged down by him. He had made great achievements in eradicating the forces of secret operations, but being disturbed by Shi Pingqing and reversed the situation in Nanqin, it seemed that his previous cracking of small crimes was of little use. But fortunately, he still has Huo Mingshan now.

Yao Kun began to think about whether to let Huo Mingshan stay for a few more days, and let Bai Ying meet Huo Mingshan and see his Yao Kun’s achievements with his own eyes. In this way, Bai Ying can help to say something nice about the memorial, and it might be smoother for Huo Mingshan to go to Beijing to meet the emperor.

An Ruochen went to Xixiu Hall according to the appointed time.

When An Ruochen arrived, Mrs. Xue came out to meet her in person. Lu was waiting outside the store, Tian Qing followed An Ruochen and Chun Xiao into the store to check. Madam Xue didn’t care about An Ruochen’s cautiousness, and politely invited An Ruochen to the side room behind the store. Tian Qing glanced at the door of the wing room, only a thin fifteen or sixteen year old boy was sitting in the room. An Ruochen signaled to him that it was okay, Tian Qing saluted, and retreated to the door of the wing room to wait.

Xixiutang is the largest jewelry store in Zhonglan City. It has set up several compartments for wealthy businessmen’s wives to taste tea and choose jewelry. Now that the New Year’s Eve is over early, the shopping for jewelry and clothing is concentrated during that period, and there are not many customers in the store today. Mrs. Xue asked the shopkeeper to bring hot tea and snacks to An Ruochen’s guard coachmen and girls, so don’t neglect her.

An Ruochen entered the room, Xue Xuran stood up and saluted her. An Ruochen returned the salute, and Mrs. Xue greeted and introduced with a smile. An Ruochen looked at Xue Xuran for a while, and he looked really weak, thin and pale, probably because of being bedridden for a long time. The whole person looks younger than his actual age, gentle and delicate, with a straight nose, delicate features, young and mature, with bright eyes, and he looks a bit arrogant as a scholar.

Xue Xuran did not speak after saluting, but listened politely to Mrs. Xue talking to An Ruochen. When Mrs. Xue talked about him, he would smile and nod in agreement. An Ruochen noticed that his attitude was polite but distant, she guessed that Mr. Xue would not be happy about this marriage.

After a short chat, the shopkeeper brought An Ruoxi over. An Ruoxi was alone, without leading the girl, and seemed a little nervous.

When Mrs. Xue saw An Ruoxi, her face was full of smiles, and she took her hand and led her into the room. She had heard An Ruoxi’s name and her affairs many times, but she had never seen her. Looking at it now, she was born delicate and beautiful, dressed dignifiedly, not as aggressive and tricky as she had imagined before, and she was somewhat satisfied. Of course, the most satisfying and most important thing is that this girl’s horoscope can help her son’s life.

Xue Xuran stood up and saluted, An Ruochen could see that his attitude towards An Ruoxi was the same as that of himself, and he did not treat An Ruoxi specially. On the contrary, An Ruoxi was so nervous that her face turned red, and she was very serious in saluting and greeting.

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Xue said a few polite words and asked where An Ruoxi’s maid was, so that she could be accommodated.

An Ruoxi glanced at An Ruochen, and said, “Well, I’ll ask her to buy some gadgets for me, and she’ll come to the store to look for me later.”

Mrs. Xue smiled: “Okay, let me greet the shopkeeper. By the way, I have two new hairpins with new patterns. Are you interested in taking a look?”

This is to leave room for Xue Xuran and An Ruoxi to talk. An Ruochen responded with a smile, and went out with Mrs. Xue.

There were only An Ruoxi and Xue Xuran left in the room, An Ruoxi was so nervous that his fingers were twisted together. The two of them sat silently for a while, and An Ruoxi took the initiative to ask, “Do you want tea, sir?”

As she spoke, she stood up and wanted to pour a cup of tea for Xue Xuran. In order to make it easier for them to talk, Mrs. Xue never asked her servants to wait on them in the house. Although it was against the rules, An Ruoxi didn’t mind. She knew that this meeting was the key to whether she could marry into Xue’s family.

But she took the initiative to get close, but Xue Xuran said indifferently: “I can’t drink tea. I can only drink medicinal tea on weekdays.”

An Ruoxi was taken aback for a moment, then retracted her hand holding the teapot in embarrassment, and sat down. After a while, he smiled and asked, “Is it cold? I’ll add some charcoal.”

There was a small charcoal stove in the room, and a charcoal fire was burning. Xue Xuran was wearing thick cotton clothes and a thick cloak, more than her. It was spring, but he still had to light a fire in the room, which showed how afraid he was of the cold.

Xue Xuran didn’t respond to her words, but said: “I’m not in good health, it’s very inconvenient to go out. I seldom go out on weekdays.”

An Ruoxi lowered her head, secretly guessing the meaning of these words, is she complaining about coming to see her or expressing her willingness to come to see her? She tried her best to find a topic and said, “What does the young master do on weekdays?”

“Recover from illness, take medicine, and study.” Xue Xuran didn’t answer enthusiastically.

An Ruoxi said again: “I usually work as a female celebrity and study.” The words “reading and studying” make her feel a little guilty. In fact, she doesn’t like studying, and it’s not a good thing for her daughter to study. But it seems that this is the only thing that can please him.

After An Ruoxi finished speaking, she took a careful look at Xue Xuran. There was no emotion on Xue Xuran’s young face, after hearing what she said, he also looked up at her.

The two eyes met. An Ruoxi quickly lowered her head, staring at her fingertips.

After a long silence in the room, Xue Xuran said: “I won’t live to be twenty-five years old. In fact, many doctors say that I won’t live past twenty-five years. Twenty-five years is an extremely optimistic forecast. I reckon it’s just words to coax my parents. I I don’t want to marry a wife, and the thing of being happy is no different from spoiling a girl. Marrying a woman goes home and puts it in front of me, reminding myself every day that I am going to die, this girl is going to be a widow, how will I live?” This tone does not sound like Sixteen What a young man should have.

An Ruoxi’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly said: “I…” She wanted to say that she didn’t mind, she was willing to marry. But the words were too shameless for her to say them. But she is willing to marry him, he is better than she imagined, she thought he was sallow and skinny, but now it seems that he is handsome and delicate. He said he didn’t want to spoil the girl, he was a gentleman. Among the people she met, there were not many gentlemen. She had thought a lot about being a widow, and she felt that being a widow was better than being picked on and bullied. No matter what, they are a hundred times better than Qian Pei.

“Miss An, I don’t want to marry a wife, you’d better choose another son-in-law.”
