On one side of the quiet garden of the Dong Mansion, Dong Mingshan stood there quietly. His eyes were deep and sharp, striking Qian Xingshan's heart.

After some questioning, he already understood Qian Xingshan's true thoughts.

In the end, Dong Mingshan only asked one question: "Will you be devoted to Nianmei until death and never take a concubine?

When Qian Xingshan heard this, he was startled. He understood the weight of these words.

He raised his right hand without hesitation, and almost swore to the heavens. However, his eyes flashed with determination, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "I, Qian Xingshan, promise that I will treat Nianmei well for the rest of my life and never take a concubine. If I violate this promise, I will be punished by being struck by lightning!"

Dong Mingshan looked at him, with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes. He knew that at this moment, Qian Xingshan must be sincere.

This promise is simple yet profound, just like a plum tree in the garden, which is not ostentatious but has its own unique fragrance.

At night, Guan Yueru came to Dong Nianmei's room alone.

Dong Nianmei had already guessed why her sister-in-law came, and her face turned red with shame.

After closing the door and sending away the maidservants, Guan Yueru sat down.

She sat on an embroidered cushion in the corner of the room with a warm smile on her face, and her eyes were gently cast at Dong Nianmei who was sitting next to her.

At this moment, she lowered her eyes, twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, and seemed a little uneasy.

Guan Yueru opened her red lips and asked softly, "Nianmei, what do you think about what Qian Xingshan said this afternoon?"

Dong Nianmei's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this. She raised her head and secretly glanced at her sister-in-law, then quickly lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz: "Sister-in-law, I... I am willing."

Guan Yueru heard this, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, she gently patted Dong Nianmei's hand, and said with a smile: "Nianmei, it's normal for you to be shy, but this marriage is related to your life's happiness, you have to think it through."

Dong Nianmei nodded. Although she was not shy, she was more looking forward to the future.

She thought of Qian Xingshan. Although he was not as gentle and refined as Yang Feiling, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she saw him risking his life to save her.

Guan Yueru looked at the sweet smile on Dong Nianmei's face and smiled with relief.

She knew that although her sister-in-law was not shy, she had her own ideas in her heart, and she believed that her sister-in-law would make the best choice.

"Nianmei, if you have no objection, the Qian family will arrange someone to propose marriage as soon as possible." Guan Yueru said softly, with concern in her voice.

Dong Nianmei was slightly stunned when she heard this, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Are you going to... propose marriage so soon?"

Guan Yueru gently tapped Dong Nianmei's forehead with a teasing smile on her face, "Little girl, have you forgotten that your second aunt was also there?

If her words were to get out, there's no telling how the matter would be exaggerated.

Since you have already divorced your parents, your reputation needs to be carefully protected. You must not let any rumors damage your reputation. "

Dong Nianmei was a little unhappy when she heard this. She took Guan Yueru's arm like a spoiled child and complained softly, "Sister-in-law, I want to stay home and spend more time with you and mother. Why are you marrying me off so soon?"

Guan Yueru couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She patted Dong Nianmei's arm gently and said softly, "Silly girl, who said that we have to get married right away after getting engaged?

We can arrange the marriage first, and then discuss the wedding date slowly, so that you can stay home and spend more time with us."

Dong Nianmei's eyes lit up when she heard this. She excitedly held Guan Yueru's hand and nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, your idea is great! This way I can stay at home for a while longer!"
