Anle stared blankly, dumbfounded.

Wow!

Is the local culture so open-minded that you can propose in public like this?!

Xiaoya had only gone to a restaurant to buy some dinner when she returned to find her young mistress chasing after a man around the inn, shouting that she wanted to marry him. She was immediately dismayed.

His face turned green instantly!

Trembling and clutching her arms, she thought, "If the madam sees this, not only will my mistress die, but as her maid, I'll be dragged out and beaten to death for failing to stop her mistress's unusual behavior."

Heavens above, earth below, who can tell her how to salvage her young lady's reputation?

Are there women in this world who chase after men in public, begging to marry them?

Her young lady has set a precedent that is unprecedented and will never be repeated, hasn't she?

She really wanted to gouge out her own eyes to show that she hadn't seen it and that this scene had never happened!

Anle, watching from her side, found it inexplicably amusing.

This girl is outgoing, enthusiastic, and frank. She's a good person. If she can really get together with Zhishu, then Zhishu will be the one who gets the best deal!

Qiao Zhiqin stared suspiciously at the two men circling the inn. "What did Brother Zhishu do? Did he do something inappropriate to that girl?"

After saying that, he immediately disagreed and denied it, saying, "No, no, no, Brother Zhishu isn't that kind of person. He wouldn't do something like that. So what's going on?"

Qiao Zhili stared in astonishment at his elder brother being chased so desperately. When he came to his senses, he was puzzled. His elder brother probably didn't know this girl. He knew what kind of people his elder brother often associated with.

An Yi blinked blankly. "I knew it! I saw him talking to those two girls in front of the castle. So they really do know each other. When did they meet? Is Cousin Zhishu that kind of person? Oh, so that's what Cousin Zhishu is like!"

An Ning glanced at An Yi, "'What kind of person is this?'"

An Yi explained, "He usually looks like a gentleman, but he's actually the kind of person who's secretly passionate."

An Ning rolled her eyes. "Pah! When it comes to being flamboyant, who can beat you? Didn't you see how terrified Zhi Shu was when he was being chased?"

Qiao Zhiyi opened her mouth, wanting to say that apart from family and relatives, her older brother had never known any girls. The girl who suddenly appeared in front of him not only startled her older brother, but also surprised her.

Judging from their clothes, they don't look like ordinary people. When did her older brother get to know someone like this?

Just as Anle was getting into the exciting part, the plot took a dramatic turn when a maid suddenly appeared and rushed forward to stop the girl.

When Qiao Zhishu saw Xiao Ya holding Yan Qingxue, he finally leaned on the table, breathless, wiped his sweat, and spoke politely.

"Miss, what exactly do you want?" Why would you do something so absurd, chasing after him and insisting on marrying him?

Yan Qingxue glared at Qiao Zhishu, rolled up her sleeves, and spoke frankly and confidently.

"Nonsense, didn't you see? Of course I'm going to marry you! Haven't I made myself clear enough? Or can't you understand human language?" He paused, then added.

"Of course, this is just my wishful thinking. If you're not happy and don't want to marry a woman like me, then... forget it."

Qiao Zhishu really felt that the girl in front of him was somewhat unreasonable and inexplicable.

"Hey, hey, girl, no, beautiful sister, my cousin Zhishu likes your generous, straightforward, and frank personality. Don't be discouraged all of a sudden." Seeing the situation take a sharp turn for the worse, Anle quickly stepped forward and chimed in.

Qiao Zhishu looked at her younger cousin, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, with a headache and a sigh of relief. She called out helplessly, "Little cousin, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Anle blinked, then looked up with an innocent expression and asked, "Isn't that right? Don't you like girls with this kind of personality, Cousin Zhishu?"

If she really didn't like it, she certainly wouldn't be here blindly trying to matchmake people.

However, if she was only intimidated by the girl's sudden boldness and enthusiasm, then she absolutely couldn't just watch her genuine personality slip away from her cousin, Zhishu.

Anyway, she really likes this girl.

Qiao Zhishu froze, her face stiff. She didn't like it?

This has nothing to do with liking or disliking; it's a very absurd question.

"Little cousin, that's not how it is, don't—"

"What's going on? Isn't marriage all about whether you like someone or not? Cousin Zhishu, have you taken a liking to this beautiful lady?"

Yan Qingxue was overjoyed when she saw the little rascal suddenly appear and heard him say "beautiful sister." She laughed so hard she almost fell over.

Oh my, this child is just so adorable.

"Little cousin, I don't even know her. How could I possibly like her or not? How could we possibly be talking about marriage? What you're saying is a bit of an exaggeration."

Anle drew out the sound and nodded.

"Oh... I see. So the problem lies in whether we know each other or not. That's easy. If we want to get to know each other, we can get to know each other slowly. That's simple."

"Then let's get to know each other slowly. If we really feel it's not a good match, then we can reject her later. Don't rush to reject this beautiful lady right now." Anle said, turning her head to look at Yan Qingxue with a smile.

"Beautiful sister, what do you think? Why don't you try getting to know my cousin for a while?"

Yan Qingxue nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes."

Xiao Ya stared blankly at Cheng Yaojin, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere—

—Peace and happiness!

He glanced at Anle, then at Yan Qingxue, and quickly went over to pull Yan Qingxue aside. "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. My young lady is a bit of a show-off, her mind isn't working very well, and she sometimes has a fit of madness."

"Little Sprout, what nonsense are you spouting? Your young lady is perfectly normal, not crazy at all! I'm just going to find a man from Jincheng Linghe to marry, so that that little bitch Yan Linglong can see who really decides my life's most important matter!"

Anle, always eager for a good show, clapped and said, "Not bad, not bad. The goal is clear, the purpose is clear. My cousin will settle down in Linghe, Jincheng from now on."

He perfectly matches the beautiful lady's criteria for a partner.

After blurting it out, Anle belatedly froze, wondering, "Who? Yan Linglong?"

Why does this name sound so familiar?

ah!

I remember now, Greentown!

She's that little girl from Greentown who was treated like a little goddess!
