Chapter 165 The prince is a handsome man, we cannot afford him

Du Jiang was startled by what Ye Tingxiao said unintentionally, and then his face changed drastically.

Du Wenjun subconsciously looked at his eldest sister who was preparing wine for his two younger brothers to bring to the Master tomorrow. Seeing that she didn't react, he felt relieved.

The prince's words were really out of line. How could the eldest sister be with him when they were common people? What did she have to do with him?

At most, there will be some business and personal connections, but don't expect anything else. He is the son of the Marquis of Pingyang, not an ordinary commoner.

Du Jiang thought so too. Although Wanwan was a good girl, she could never be with the prince. He only had one daughter, and she must not be someone else's mistress.

And it is absolutely impossible for the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion to marry his Wanwan as his principal wife. He will not think about things that he should not think about, and he hopes that Wanwan will not think about it either, so as not to feel sad because she is out of her league.

Du Wanwan: “!!!” I didn’t think about it, you’re worrying too much.

Yetingxiao: “????” How can I not think about it? Feel free to think about it boldly, I can’t wait.

After filling two small jars with wine, Du Wanwan picked up the almost full jar and put it aside, then took an empty jar and placed it under the distiller.

"It's fine to drink this wine, but it's not suitable as alcohol. I'll distill it again tomorrow night and it should be fine."

Ye Tingxiao raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead. This action was extremely intimate, and Du Jiang and Du Wenjun's faces changed drastically.

The two looked at each other, and Du Wenjun pulled Du Wanwan to his side: "Sister! You are tired, go to the room and rest quickly, Dad and I are here."

Du Jiang gave his son a thumbs up in his heart, feeling that he was quite perceptive.

Du Wanwan didn't react for a moment and didn't understand why her brother suddenly asked him to go to rest. She glanced at Ye Tingxiao who was still holding his hand in the air, then she realized that he had gone too far.

My brother is worried that someone will take advantage of her.

He glared at Ye Tingxiao unhappily and pointed at the jar of distilled wine: "Ask the two of them in, take this jar of wine away for everyone to taste, and then you follow them and get out."

Hearing his daughter say such disrespectful words, Du Jiang quickly said: "Wanwan! Don't be rude!"

Ye Tingxiao smiled gently, "It's okay, Uncle Du! Wanwan and I are used to quarreling, don't mind what she said."

Du Wenjun was confused after hearing this. What did the prince mean by this? When did he become so familiar with the eldest sister? Was he planning to run away?

No! His eldest sister is the backbone of the family. If she is really abducted, what will happen to their family?

Du Jiang was also surprised. He didn't expect Ye Tingxiao to say that. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

Afraid that Ye Tingxiao's words would scare her father, Du Wanwan explained, "Dad! In his eyes, we are brothers. No matter what I say, he won't bother with his brothers."

Ye Tingxiao was speechless. Why did you bring up the topic of brothers again? I don't want to be brothers. I want to be husband and wife.

"Yes! You are my life!"

Originally, Ye Tingxiao didn't want to say this, for he was afraid that Du Jiang would marry off his daughter Wanwan while he was away packing up his things, which would be terrible.

It's better to make things clear as soon as possible. Once he recovers from his illness, let his mother send someone to the Du family to propose marriage. Now that he is not well, if he dares to come to propose marriage, I believe Du Jiang will dare to kick him out.

Everyone in Liang County knew about him, so who would marry their daughter to him and become a widow? It was different after he recovered from his illness. There were many noble ladies who wanted to marry him, but he would not take any of them, only Wanwan from his family.

"Take the wine and leave quickly. Come back for the alcohol tomorrow night." Du Wanwan knew what Ye Tingxiao meant. She was afraid of scaring her father, so she waved her hand and sent him away.

Ye Tingxiao still had a faint smile on his face and whistled. Ye Yeer came in immediately, bringing wine, said goodbye to the Du family, and then left.

Du Wanwan sent Ye Tingxiao out, closed the door and came back to find Du Jiang and Du Wenjun looking at her with suspicious eyes, not blinking for a moment. She was about to say something but stopped herself.

"Dad! What are you looking at? If you have something to say, just say it."

Du Wanwan knew that Ye Tingxiao had caused her trouble. Her father and brother must have seen through the man's coveting of her.

He did it on purpose. I don't know why he went crazy, but he said it so bluntly, even a dull person would understand.

Throwing the firewood in his hand into the stove, Du Jiang sighed deeply and said meaningfully, "Wanwan! The prince is indeed a handsome man with a good family background. Dad knows how he feels about you. The problem is that we can't afford him."

Du Wenjun clenched his fists, looking apologetic: "It's all because my brothers are useless and can't be your strong backing. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to be afraid of his status as a prince."

Du Wanwan felt a little warm at heart when she saw her brother like this. She couldn't help but tease him: "I'm waiting for the day when you become stronger."

Seeing his daughter's indifferent expression, Du Jiang sighed again: "Wanwan! You have to think it over. If we really go against the prince, a family like us can't become the principal wife. At most, we can be given the title of concubine."

Du Wanwan laughed, "Dad! Don't you underestimate your daughter? I don't even want to be the Crown Prince's Consort, so who would want to be a concubine? Ye Tingxiao wants to marry me, but either I am the Crown Prince's Consort or I don't marry. He can marry whoever he wants, it's none of my business."

Ah? Du Jiang was dumbfounded. Why was his Wanwan so arrogant? Come to think of it, his Wanwan was a doctor with excellent medical skills. The prince had to ask her to treat his illness? If she was successful, she would be the prince's lifesaver.

The problem is, yes, yes, he still feels guilty.

Even if he is his savior, it seems impossible for the position of the Crown Prince's Consort to be given to his Wanwan. After all, his family has no power and influence, and Wanwan will suffer a loss if she marries him.

No, I have to persuade my daughter again not to step into Pingyang Marquis Mansion. It is easy to get in but difficult to get out!

"Wanwan! That's true, but a family like ours is not worthy of the Crown Prince." Du Jiang advised earnestly, "Even if I really marry into the family and become the Crown Prince's consort, how can Lady Pingyang be happy?

Life is still hard when being bullied by my mother-in-law. We should stop associating with the prince and separate as soon as possible."

"I didn't want to associate with him, it was Ye Tingxiao who kept coming to me." Du Wanwan felt that she was wronged, "Dad! I know what I am doing, please don't worry about it.

Either I don't marry, or if I do marry, I must be the principal wife, and my man cannot have three wives and four concubines. He must be devoted to me, and if he dares not to listen to me, I will break his legs immediately."

Du Wenjun quickly gave Du Wanwan a thumbs up: "Sister is powerful, so you have to do this. No matter who he is, he can't let you suffer injustice."

"That's right. I didn't want to get married in the first place. He was the one who wanted to get married. So you can't blame me for being so demanding."
