Chapter 6 Reasons for Proposing Marriage

In the second room of the Ye family, Ye Mingzhu had already woken up. Ye Yun'an, who had been waiting by the bed, was filled with excitement: "Sister, sister, you are finally awake."

Although Aunt Jiang said that Ye Mingzhu was just asleep, Ye Mingzhu did not respond even though so many people were talking next to her. Finally, he put his hand under Ye Mingzhu's nose and felt her breathing, then he waited by the bed with peace of mind.

"Sister, Aunt Jiang and Brother Hongyu went home to get medicine for you. Uncle San said he would go back to get us some food." Ye Yun'an kept talking, "I boiled some hot water and will bring it to you, sister."

Ye Mingzhu sat up, feeling fine. She vaguely remembered someone taking her pulse, and asked casually, "Did the doctor come in just now? Did he tell me if there was anything wrong with me?"

Ye Yun'an was opening the door and quietly wiped away her tears: "I'm just tired. I'll be fine after eating something good."

Ye Mingzhu looked at Ye Yun'an suspiciously: "Yun'an, come back and tell me, what's wrong with me?"

Ye Yun'an's actions were really too suspicious, and the sob in his voice was so obvious that people couldn't help but think too much.

Thinking of the days when she often went to the hospital in modern times, Ye Mingzhu didn't want this young body to be sick. Her voice became stern: "What disease do I have?"

"Aunt Jiang said that my sister has a cold and can't have a child for the time being." Ye Yun'an lowered his head and repeated what Aunt Jiang had just said.

"That's it?" Ye Mingzhu asked. Isn't it just that I can't have children? It's just temporary.

“…” Ye Yun’an raised his head foolishly, tears rolling down his eyes.

"Men don't shed tears easily. What's there to cry about? I'm still young. It will take at least three or four years for me to have a baby. By then, my body will probably be well." What Ye Mingzhu said was true. She was only fifteen years old in this body and was still a child.

Ye Yun'an felt something was wrong, but Ye Mingzhu said it with certainty.

Jiang Hongyu was smiling as he listened at the door. The brother and sister talked about having children without any shyness. Perhaps they didn't understand the impact of this on them.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Hongyu deliberately coughed, walked back in through the door with heavier steps.

He handed the medicine bag and jar in his hand to Ye Yun'an: "Yun'an, go and boil the medicine for your sister now. The sooner she drinks the medicine, the better she will get."

Ye Yun'an immediately got up and took Jiang Hongyu to the kitchen to boil medicine.

After a while, Jiang Hongyu came by himself.

Ye Mingzhu looked behind him, and Jiang Hongyu took the initiative to say, "Yun'an is watching the fire in the kitchen. He will bring it over when the medicine is ready."

"You have something to tell me?" Although Ye Mingzhu asked a question, she was very sure in her heart.

Jiang Hongyu nodded, his eyes falling on Ye Mingzhu's somewhat disheveled clothes. He could vaguely see a section of her fair neck. His face flushed. "Would you like to sit down?"

Ye Mingzhu looked down at herself. Although her clothes were a little messy, nothing was exposed except her head and hands. She didn't expect that Jiang Hongyu, who looked tall and strong, would be so shy.

While complaining in her heart, Ye Mingzhu sat up, turned her back, straightened her clothes, put on her shoes and sat on the edge of the bed: "Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Jiang Hongyu then turned around, glanced at Ye Mingzhu from the corner of his eye, and sat down on the only chair in the room: "You just promised us marriage, does this still count?"

Ye Mingzhu already knew that Aunt Jiang in the village was Jiang Hongyu's biological mother, so he must have known that he had a cold.

Would someone from the capital not want children?

Ye Mingzhu's scrutiny was too obvious. Jiang Hongyu understood after a brief thought: "My Jiang family has an ancestral medicinal bath formula. Your cold is difficult to cure for others, but in my family, it's only a matter of time before it's cured."

"oh."

Ye Mingzhu felt that Jiang Hongyu must have some ulterior motive. It couldn't be that her body was so beautiful that he fell in love with her at first sight?

This possibility is probably about the same as the difficulty of her returning to the modern era.

"Even if it can be cured, it will definitely not be an easy thing. Why do you want to marry me?" Ye Mingzhu wanted to know the other party's purpose.

Jiang Hongyu looked Ye Mingzhu up and down. Apart from her bright eyes, she looked only slightly more delicate than other girls in the village. So why would he be willing to marry her?

"Because you don't want to live with your uncle's family anymore." He blurted out these words and continued with Ye Mingzhu's surprised expression.

"Everyone is willing to rely on their family for survival, but they don't know that in the face of danger, family members are more terrifying than outsiders."

"There are only my mother and I in my family. My mother is a doctor. Besides collecting herbs, she also treats the villagers. I sometimes fish and sometimes go to the dock to carry bags. I can always support you and your brother."

"Although our Jiang family was exiled here, we still have some things. When you marry here, my mother will give them to you."

"My house is a thatched hut. If you and your sister move in, it might not be big enough. I'll rebuild a thatched hut in the next few days, and I'll find a way to build a better house next year."

"If you don't mind, you can move in," Ye Mingzhu interrupted Jiang Hongyu. "My father built this house two years ago. It's spacious enough, and it's more than enough for you and your daughter to live in. However, the villagers might have some comments."

Jiang Hongyu was silent for a moment before he said, "I'll go back and discuss it with my mother. I don't think it's a big problem."

Ye Mingzhu was really curious about Jiang Hongyu. Not to mention in ancient times, even now, living in the woman's house might be considered as marrying into the wife's family, especially since Jiang Hongyu planned to bring his mother to live with his wife.

"My mother is easy to get along with, but some people in the Jiang family are difficult to deal with. They are descendants of my great-uncle, so they might cause some trouble."

Only then did Ye Mingzhu know the main reason why Jiang Hongyu married her, which was to get rid of the Jiang family members.

"How do you know I can deal with your relatives?" Ye Mingzhu had the impression that they had rarely met, and the original owner used to be a taciturn person.

Let the original owner deal with a group of "nobles" exiled from the capital...

The picture is too beautiful to imagine.

"Just use the same tactics you used against your uncle and aunt, whether it's soft or hard, it doesn't matter." Jiang Hongyu shrugged, "We are not relatives. My great-uncle was adopted by someone else. For some reason, a child returned home. You will know that we are not related by blood and our relationship is not good. As for the rest, it's up to you."

It turns out that they valued her courage to confront her relatives. But, "Does your mother agree with you falling out with your relatives?"

"I promise that my mother won't object no matter how you make trouble." Jiang Hongyu promised seriously, "I will treat your brother as my own brother. He can choose whether to learn literature or martial arts."

Ye Mingzhu's eyes brightened even more. Is this still a treasure boy?
