Xia Yun's face turned pale, she bit her lip, and looked up at Tong Muzhen with an aggrieved and somewhat unbelievable look on her face.
Old Jiang nodded his cane twice, but didn't say much on this topic. Instead, he looked at Xia Yun and said softly, "Girl, now that you've said it, let me ask you one question: are you willing to marry Zishan?"
I think everyone present could understand Tong Muzhen's Tai Chi speech except Jiang Zishan.
In other words, his mind was not on Tong Muzhen's words at all. After listening to what Old Jiang said, he reacted and looked at Old Jiang in panic, saying anxiously: "Grandpa! Xia Yun and I are not in that kind of relationship, I just... just..."
He looked at Xia Yun and suddenly regretted not telling her directly in order to save her face. If he went back on his word now, others would only think that he was irresponsible and did not want to marry Xia Yun, but the person he wanted to marry had never been Xia Yun!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zishan's eyes fell on Shi Ye, but he saw that she was watching this farce with great interest, and she didn't seem to care that he was about to be forced by his grandfather to marry Xia Yun. That nonchalant look was too clear.
Makiya's smile hurt Jiang Zishan, and he couldn't say anything else.
Jiang Feng stood up at this time and said hesitantly: "Grandpa, this is about Zishan's marriage after all..."
Although he didn't say the rest, everyone understood that Jiang Feng looked down on Xia Yun, an orphan.
At their level, marrying off is a very particular matter. It's not like just finding someone to marry. At least they don't consider a family like Xia Yun's, where both parents are dead, her aunt committed a crime, and was killed by her own son.
Moreover, if other people knew that this marriage was arranged by Xia Yun and Jiang Zishan secretly climbed over the wall of the Xiao family, then the entire Jiang family would probably become the laughing stock of the upper class in Yandu. He really couldn't afford to lose face!
Old Jiang raised his eyelids and said, "Otherwise, what do you want? Put your son in jail? Or execute him?"
These words were obviously meant for the Xiao family to hear. If Jiang Zishan married Xia Yun, the absurd farce of tonight would be over.
Xiao Fengnian looked up at Xia Yun, who was also looking at him with pleading eyes.
She really wanted to marry Jiang Zishan, even though she was lost for a while and wanted to make things right and be with Xiao Yue again, but the latter's mind was clearly not on her, so in the end she took the first path when she was reborn.
Replace Shi Ye, marry Jiang Zishan, and become an officer's wife, no matter what means are used, as long as the goal is achieved.
Xiao Fengnian closed his eyes, then opened them again. There was no longer any complicated emotion in his eyes. He neither refuted nor agreed to what Mr. Jiang said. He tacitly agreed that as long as Jiang Zishan married Xia Yun, what happened tonight would be over.
Shi also glanced at Xiao Fengnian. To be honest, the latter was like a kind father to Xia Yun and always cared about her.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as having the best of both worlds.
Since Xia Yun chose to take this step, it was inevitable that she would offend the Xiao family and disappoint Xiao Fengnian.
Without the Xiao family as a support, she would have a hard time in the Jiang family. The only thing she could rely on was...
Shi also turned his head to glance at Jiang Zishan, who was deep in thought and his mind was wandering. The corner of his mouth twitched. He let Xia Yun lean on Jiang Zishan. Haha, that was just the daily life of two idiots. She was afraid that she couldn't even understand the system tasks and her life would definitely be a mess. But it was better this way. In this way, she wouldn't have time to make trouble behind the scenes, and she and Xiao Yue could also worry less.
When Jiang Feng heard what Old Jiang said, his face froze. He smiled awkwardly and looked at Xiao Fengnian and said, "It shouldn't be that serious, right? We all know that tonight was just a farce played by children. How can we take it seriously?"
"Child?" Xiao Fengnian raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Zishan, looking him up and down.
His expression made Jiang Feng feel quite ashamed, and he couldn't say anything else.
Old Jiang ignored his son who was still daydreaming. He looked at Xia Yun and said calmly, "Girl, I'll ask you again, are you willing? If you are willing, just nod your head, and our Jiang family will marry you in a grand manner. If you are not willing, then forget it and let my useless grandson go to jail. I won't say a word."
After Mr. Jiang's powerful words, the initiative was handed over to Xia Yun.
Jiang Zishan's face was uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking. Xia Yun looked back at him, gritted her teeth, raised her eyes to look at Mr. Jiang, her eyes were filled with tears, and nodded seriously: "Mr. Jiang, I do, I like Comrade Jiang Zishan, and I am willing to marry him!"
Hearing Xia Yun's agreement, Jiang Zishan was shocked. His hands dropped and clenched secretly. He didn't know what he felt in his heart, but he felt empty. He was obviously a reborn person and had the memories of his previous life, so why couldn't he achieve his wish?
Di was also sitting next to Xiao Yue, feeling somewhat gloating. Did this mean that Xia Yun had gotten herself into trouble?
"Okay!" Elder Jiang responded in a deep voice, and then looked at Xiao Fengnian: "Xiao Shenmou, then is this marriage settled?"
Xiao Fengnian took one last look at Xia Yun and nodded, "Of course, we shouldn't worry too much about the affairs of the younger generation."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Lao heaved a sigh of relief, got up from the sofa, and said to Xia Yun, "After we go back, we will discuss a good day and let Zishan welcome you as soon as possible. During this time, you should stay at home and prepare for your marriage."
Xia Yun nodded obediently, and her heart finally settled down.
Now that the matter was finally settled, her wish had finally come true.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yue out of the corner of her eye. Looking at Xiao Yue, who had a gentle face, a tall and graceful figure, and the demeanor of a superior, her heart ached, but in the end she withdrew her gaze and secretly clenched her fists.
Her decision would not be wrong. Who knows what kind of accident might happen to Xiao Yue in the future? Wasn't Shi destined to be a widow?
After comforting herself in this way, Xia Yun felt a lot better. She personally saw Mr. Jiang out. Xiao Fengnian and Tong Muzhen also stood up to see him off. The group arrived at the door in a mighty manner. Suddenly, Xia Yun's pupils shrank and her whole body ached.
She almost fell to the ground, but Jiang Zishan, who was walking side by side with her, helped her up and frowned, "What's wrong with you?"
His tone was somewhat unhappy, and he just thought that Xia Yun wanted to have some intimate behavior with him in front of everyone.
Tonight, he had decided to get married with Xia Yun for no apparent reason. He began to wonder, was Xia Yun helping him out at the beginning for him or for herself? After this seed of doubt was planted, his sympathy for Xia Yun also faded a lot.
"I, I feel a little uncomfortable. I can't see you off." Xia Yun was trembling all over, and even her voice was a little unsteady. After she finished speaking, she shook off Jiang Zishan's hand and stumbled upstairs.
