"Then you should tell her." Yang Ruxin laughed, "As long as she likes you too, then it’s settled, I’ll just handle the dowry..."
"But she rejected me, she said she’s not worthy of me, she..." Qian Er sighed, "She even returned the hairpin I gave her, and wouldn’t even see me. No choice, I had to ask you for help..."
Yang Ruxin sighed, it seemed she could start a matchmaking agency here.
"Sister Xin." Seeing Yang Ruxin not responding, Qian Er simply put on a doomsday look, "My dad is getting old and just wants me to marry. At my age, I’ve finally found a woman I like, can you bear to watch me become an old bachelor?"
Yang Ruxin twitched her mouth and rolled her eyes at him, "Get up quickly, what’s a grown man doing kneeling on the ground like this?"
"If it means getting a wife, not only would I kneel, I’d even lie down..."
"Alright, stop being cheeky, just get lost." Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but chuckle, "I’ll agree to ask her what she thinks."
"Thank you, Sister Xin." Qian Er hopped away.
Yang Ruxin shook her head, but still got up and walked outside. It was better to ask Chun Gui earlier about this.
But after searching back and forth in the two courtyards, she still didn’t see Chun Gui.
"Madam, I saw her leaving just now." Ye Zhou reminded, "About a quarter of an hour ago, she went that way."
Yang Ruxin nodded, then followed the direction Ye Zhou pointed.
Sure enough, there under the willow tree by the river, Chun Gui was sitting lost in thought on a big rock.
"This is quite a cool place." Yang Ruxin walked over and sat beside her.
"Madam?" Chun Gui seemed to be startled awake, suddenly standing up.
"Sit, I’m not a torrential beast." Yang Ruxin smiled.
Chun Gui couldn’t help but laugh, then sat down.
"Chun Gui, you came here because of Qian Er, right?" Yang Ruxin turned to look at her.
Chun Gui’s face turned red instantly, "I..."
"Do you know how Qian Er came to follow me?" Yang Ruxin smiled, "Well, it’s a bit of a long story, but you should have some understanding of my family’s situation by now, so I’ll skip that part. Now, let me tell you, a long time ago, my dad had verbally arranged a child marriage for me with one of our village’s esteemed scholars, Guan Qingshu. He’s quite handsome and is a good scholar, actually many girls have had a crush on him..."
Chun Gui nodded, she had seen Guan Qingshu, indeed an outstanding young man.
"But Guan Qingshu doesn’t like Yang Dani... Later I woke up, started living separately with my family, and learned to earn my own living. As it turns out, something went awry in that scholar’s mind and he came back to woo me..."
Chun Gui looked at Yang Ruxin, noticing her tone was extremely calm, so calm that it felt like she was recounting someone else’s story.
"But Guan Qingshu has a cousin, Tong Lingling, who has always been the acknowledged daughter-in-law of the Guan Family. However, because Guan Qingshu came to confess to me, Tong Lingling got upset and found a few thugs to teach me a lesson. Of course, their ultimate aim was to disgrace me and ruin my reputation..."
Chun Gui’s eyes widened instantly.
"At that time, the leader of those thugs was Qian Er, and there were also Liang Zi and Chengzi. You know Liang Zi, as for Chengzi’s whereabouts, I can’t tell you for the time being..."
