The love between these two people is really too perfunctory.

This cousin didn't even observe a year of mourning for him.

As for her second fiancé.

He was a successful candidate in the imperial examinations.

She can be considered a distant relative of the Jiang family.

When he first saw her, he was captivated by her beauty and confessed his love to her daily, repeatedly declaring that once he passed the imperial examinations, he would rightfully marry her.

Her mother agreed.

However, just as he was about to pass the imperial examination with top honors, he fell in love at first sight with another woman.

That woman was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel.

The two got married soon after.

The marriage between Jiang Cha and this man was merely a verbal agreement, or rather, Jiang Cha was completely unaware of it until her parents were cursing the man.

Clearly, this person had ulterior motives from the start.

They just wanted to use the Jiang family as a stepping stone to climb higher.

The Minister of Personnel was in charge of the promotion and evaluation of officials, and so he was immediately transferred to a wealthy place like Yangzhou.

Then there was a third, a fourth, and a fifth.

Everything went wrong.

She was engaged at the age of twelve and went on to have problems with each of her fiancés from the age of sixteen.

It's made her not want to get engaged anymore.

Everyone in the capital sighs when she mentions her marriage.

"Well—not really. We had our own compelling reasons for getting engaged."

Qian Duo gave a bitter smile.

If this hadn't happened, given the Qian family's selfish and self-serving nature, they probably wouldn't have let her get married and leave the Qian family so easily.

They would keep her at home working, but of course, they would agree if someone offered a high price to buy her.

"A compelling reason? Don't you want to marry him?"

"Of course not."

"So—it's because he doesn't want to marry you?"

If that's the case, even if he's not her aunt's biological son, she'll still decide to help him because he looks so much like her.

"He's definitely willing to marry me," Qian Duo said confidently, a point he never doubted.

"Then how can you say it was out of necessity?"

"This is a long story."

I have a lot of money and don't want to say much.

Why talk so much to a complete stranger?

She shook her head and sighed.

He refused to say any more.

Ginger tea: "—"

That's going too far! You've piqued her interest, and now she's not saying anything?

Ning Hong then carried the large wooden bucket back home, swaying back and forth.

He first poured the water from the large wooden bucket into the water vat, and only after seeing that the vat was full did he put the wooden bucket down.

His wooden barrel was specially made, three times larger than a regular wooden barrel.

Even the guards following Jiang Cha were somewhat shocked when they saw the wooden barrel.

"This is huge!"

This person is incredibly strong.

"I'm back." Ning Hong had just turned around when she saw a beautifully sculpted person sitting in her yard.

My mind suddenly exploded.

This is Acha.

After such a long time, he finally met Acha again.

The wooden bucket in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Brother Hongze, you're back! What happened to you?"

Hong Zege is usually very composed, so why did he suddenly show such an out-of-control expression?

Qian Duo looked at him, puzzled.

But then he suddenly walked up to the young master.

"Hello, I'm Ning Hongze, and I fell in love with you at first sight."

Money: "..."

Ginger tea: "......"

Ning Anuo, who followed Ning Hongze in, thought: "—" Has his brother gone mad?

"Brother, he's a man."

“No, it’s a girl,” Ning Hong said firmly.

"This is the first time we've met." Jiang Cha's lips twitched slightly.

"That's why it was love at first sight."

Jiang Cha couldn't contain her excitement, and the smile on her face was unstoppable.

"Hey, don't overthink it. You're just a poor boy, how could you be worthy of my young lady?" Now that they knew it was a girl, the maids didn't want to pretend anymore.

One of them spoke directly.

The other woman, though more composed, seemed to share the same thought, judging from her expression. Even if the Jiang family wasn't as powerful as before, they were still a noble family in the capital, while this man was just a poor country boy.

To even dream of pursuing those young ladies is utterly delusional.

"What do you mean?"

Ning Anuo was displeased upon hearing what the maid said.

“I’m telling the truth. Your brother is really not good enough for my young lady. With your family’s conditions, to be honest, even I, a servant, wouldn’t want to marry into this family, let alone my young lady.”

Although the man in front of me is quite good-looking.

However, the clothes were made of coarse linen, and the trousers were rolled up halfway, covered in dust.

"I accept your affection, but I'm sorry, I can't reciprocate." Jiang Cha suddenly found it a little funny. This person was really confident, dressing like this to confess his feelings. Was he trying to be funny?

She just didn't dislike it.

However, she was also very clear about it.

As a member of the Jiang family, if she were to marry a farmer, putting aside everything else, she probably wouldn't be able to get along with it herself.

She doesn't know how to do farm work.

Jiang Cha thought to herself silently.
