Transmigrating to Exile, I Prosper by the Sea

Ye Mingzhu transmigrated to become a low-status pearl diver. She had no parents, only a young brother, and was without food, drink, or land.

Fortunately, the heavens granted her a golden fing...

Chapter 386 Leave it all to me

"You don't want to?" Doctor Murong frowned, "How am I unworthy of you?"

Jian Pingping lowered his head again. "I'm not worthy of you. My parents are both dead, and I have a younger brother to raise. My family doesn't have much savings, and now we only have this small shop to make a living. You are a famous doctor in the capital, and you will return one day."

"How did you know I would return to the capital? I will marry you, and wherever you are, I will be there too. From now on, your brother will be my brother, and I will help you raise him together." Doctor Murong said, "Do you need me to swear?"

Jian Pingping looked up at him in shock: "No, no need."

"Then you agree." Doctor Murong's face was full of joy: "I will ask someone to find a matchmaker later."

"No." Jian Pingping refused again. Doctor Murong's brows furrowed like a caterpillar. "Why not?"

Jian Pingping just shook his head and said that the two were not a good match.

Bi He beside her was already dumbfounded, and she wanted to agree on her behalf: "Miss, Doctor Murong wants to marry you, you should agree quickly."

Doctor Murong heard Bihe emphasize the word "legal wife".

"Someone wants to take you as a concubine?" Although this was a question, Doctor Murong felt that it was very likely to be true, otherwise Jian Pingping would not have rejected her again and again.

"Stop talking." Jian Pingping turned around and scolded Bi He in a low voice, then stood up: "Doctor Murong, we are not destined to be together. I feel a little unwell, so I'll leave first."

Although what Dr. Murong said was very touching, she still remembered her engagement with Zheng Yuang. The other party was unkind and refused to recognize the engagement, but she could not be unjust and could not be the first to break off the engagement.

Before her engagement is cancelled, she will not have any relationship with Doctor Murong. If, if her engagement with Zheng Yuang can be cancelled and Doctor Murong still has the heart, she might agree.

Doctor Murong stood up before her and stood at the door with a cold face: "What's going on? Tell me clearly."

Jian Pingping really didn't know what to say about this and could only remain silent.

"Tell me." Doctor Murong looked at Bihe: "What's going on?"

Bihe looked at Jian Pingping, and Doctor Murong said coldly: "Just say what I told you to say, don't look at your young lady, otherwise I will ask her uncle."

Jian Pingping closed her eyes. Bihe knew that this meant she had no objection. She whispered to her that Jian Pingping and Zheng Yuang were engaged, but the Zheng family wanted to break off the engagement and let Zheng Yuang marry someone else.

Doctor Murong was so angry that he laughed: "Since they are already going to break off the engagement, why are you still entangled?"

Jian Pingping looked up at him, twitching the corners of her mouth as she said, "This marriage was arranged for me by my mother before she left. Unless my uncles and uncles regret the marriage, I will definitely marry my cousin."

"But now the Zheng family has clearly decided to break off the engagement, and you still insist on marrying him as a concubine?"

"I won't be a concubine." Jian Pingping's tone was firm.

"Since you don't want to be a concubine, what else is there to say? Tell them clearly that the engagement is invalid. It's none of your business whether the man or woman gets married." Doctor Murong didn't understand what Jian Pingping was insisting on.

Jian Pingping looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

"My young lady is here alone, how can she come here to discuss marriage on her own?" Bihe directly explained the reason on behalf of Jian Pingping.

If there were other elders in the Jian family, Jian Pingping wouldn't have to live such a hard life.

"I understand. Let me take care of it." After saying this, Doctor Murong turned and left.

Jian Pingping tried to stop him but failed. She looked at Bi He beside her and said, "Doctor Murong, did you mean to cause trouble for the Zheng family?"

How could Bihe explain it clearly: "Miss, let's go out and take a look."

The two men walked quickly outside and only saw Doctor Murong's back.

The streets were crowded with people, making it inconvenient to call for help. The two could only watch Dr. Murong leave.

Jian Pingping walked back to the shop with a heavy heart. Jiang Yue and Ye Mingzhu were still waiting for her.

"Pingping, is there anything I can help you with?" Jiang Yue did not mention what happened just now.

Jian Pingping didn't know where to start and could only shake his head silently.

"I see that you don't look well. You should go back early. If there is anything, ask someone to find me at Wang's house." Jiang Yue was a little worried about Jian Pingping, but she was newly married, and even if there were no elders at home, it would not be good for her to go back too late.

"I'm fine. You and Mingzhu can go back first." Jian Pingping cheered up: "I'll take you there."

Jiang Yue was worried, so she asked Jian Pingping to go back with them in their carriage.

Jian Pingping and Bihe rented a carriage on the street. Now that Jiang Yue wanted to take them back, they didn't have to look for a carriage anymore.

Jian Pingping was a little dazed, she didn't know what Doctor Murong would do.

Jiang Yue and Ye Mingzhu helped her get off the carriage. Ye Mingzhu couldn't help but say, "Pingping, if you need any help, just come to me and my aunt. There's nothing you can't overcome."

Jian Pingping pulled the corners of her mouth but couldn't pull out a smile. She nodded: "Yeah, I understand."

Jiang Yue and Ye Mingzhu got on the carriage, and Qiu Sheng took them to Hongyan Tower.

Ye Mingzhu suddenly missed Jiang Hongyu. Her situation back then was so similar to Jian Pingping's today.

Her choice to marry Jiang Hongyu was actually a gamble. Fortunately, she was lucky and won the bet. Jiang Hongyu treated her very well.

"Mingzhu, Mingzhu." Jiang Yue suddenly called her several times.

Ye Mingzhu came back to her senses from her deep thoughts: "What's wrong, aunt?"

"What's wrong with you? Are you tired?" Jiang Yue asked when she saw that she was not in good spirits.

"No, I just thought about something." Ye Mingzhu shook her head and did not say what she was thinking.

Seeing that she seemed to be fine, Jiang Yue smiled and said, "We're at Hongyan Tower now. Do you want to eat anything?"

"I'm not picky about food, so just let my aunt decide." Ye Mingzhu took a look at the crowded menu and let Jiang Yue make the decision.

Jiang Yue ordered two meat dishes and two desserts and asked Qiu Sheng to take them to the store.

"Aunt-in-law, there's no need to always think about Yun'an and the others. They eat everything." Ye Mingzhu could see that the two desserts were specially ordered for Ye Yun'an and Luodou.

"We all eat together." Jiang Yue thought it was just two dishes, not a big deal.

Ye Mingzhu sat in the carriage for a while and felt a little bored, so she got out and stood outside for a while. When she looked across, her eyes lit up for a moment.

"Aunt, I'm going to buy some things and will be back soon." She said to Jiang Yue, picked up her skirt and went across the street.

Jiang Yue asked Chun Xing to follow quickly.

Ye Mingzhu had already walked to a small stall, on which were displayed a large number of single shoes, cotton shoes and boots.

She immediately fell in love with a pair of leather boots placed in the corner, picked them up and compared the size, and they were just right.
