Chapter 190 I Just Want to Marry Her
Zhao Yanshan smiled and said, "Haven't you figured it out yet?"
"What?"
Zhao Yanshan said, "Even if it's a princess, he won't want her. He wants Miss Yu."
Mrs. Zhao, of course, saw through Zhao Yan's thoughts and asked doubtfully, "But isn't Miss Yu going back to Quanzhou?"
"That's why he said we could adopt one from someone else. He wasn't kidding."
Mrs. Zhao was shocked and looked at Zhao Yanshan in a daze.
She suddenly thought of why Zhao Yan just didn't agree to the marriage. Not only did he say it at home, but he also went to the girl's house to tell her that he had no intention of getting married. After hearing this, several families were no longer willing to discuss the marriage.
Madam Zhao was surprised, "So it can only be Miss Yu?"
Zhao Yanshan smiled and said, "That's what he told me."
"Why is this child like this? He didn't want her before, but now he insists on marrying her..." She started crying softly again, "I worry so much about him, why can't he just listen..."
Zhao Yanshan patted her back and advised, "He's just like that. When has he ever compromised?"
Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Yanshan, understood what he meant, and finally could only sigh helplessly.
In the evening, when Zhao Yan came back, Mrs. Zhao immediately sent someone to call him over.
"We sent someone to invite Miss Yu this morning, but she refused. What were you thinking? Why did you let her go? If this gets out, what will people say about us? Why did you have to kick her out during the New Year?" said Mrs. Zhao.
Zhao Yan sat next to her and said, "She doesn't want to live here, naturally because she's been wronged."
"I will send that girl away," said Mrs. Zhao.
Zhao Yan said, "The maid is just the master's mouthpiece. Whatever the maid means, the master means it. Since the master says this about her, why does she still want to stay in the Zhao family?"
Madam Zhao nodded and said, "Your second sister-in-law is wrong this time. I have already scolded her."
"She's not wrong, but she simply doesn't take Miss Yu seriously." Zhao Yan looked at Madam Zhao and said, "It was like this before, and it's still like this now. I'm afraid she still treats her as her younger sister-in-law and thinks she can still question and blame her as before."
This means that Xu Yuanyi never took Yu Huatang seriously from the beginning to the end.
Mrs. Zhao sighed, "According to you, how can we invite her back?"
Zhao Yan was silent for a moment. "She won't be back. Mother, there's no need to send anyone else."
Mrs. Zhao looked at him at this time, "Your father wants me to agree to your relationship. I want to know what you think."
Zhao Yan didn't say anything.
Madam Zhao continued, "Your second brother's son, Jun'er, is now eight years old, and your fourth brother's son is seven. So if you want to keep wasting time like this, we don't have the energy to waste time with you. If you absolutely must have her, I agree to this marriage."
Zhao Yan looked outside. "Mother must have made a mistake. Now it's not a question of whether we agree or not, but whether she is willing or not..."
Madam Zhao said helplessly, "She probably hates and resents us. We did owe her for everything in the past, and she has reason to resent us, and I accept that. But now, since you've decided on her, as a mother, I only hope that you can have a good outcome..."
"How can this be explained in just a few words?" He stood up. "Since Mother has taken care of this matter, I'm going back to the Ministry of Works. It's almost the end of the year and things are busy, so I won't be back to sleep."
Mrs. Zhao was surprised and said, "The Ministry of Works' buildings are so simple, how can we live there for a long time?"
Zhao Yan said, "There's nothing wrong with staying here longer. Mother, have a good rest. I'll be leaving first."
Mrs. Zhao watched Zhao Yan's departing figure with indescribable worry. She suddenly felt that if he couldn't marry Yu Huatang in this life, he would end up living alone, or even never return to this family again...

In the afternoon, An Yuan came to the inn and knocked on the door.
It was Yu Huatang who opened the door. An Yuan handed the medicine to her, "Miss Yu, this is the medicine that the young master found for you. Take it once a day for a total of three times."
He spoke softly, even deliberately sounding relaxed, but Yu Huatang could tell it wasn't easy.
Seeing that she seemed to be hesitating, An Yuan advised obscurely, "Miss Yu, just accept it. This is something that the young master spent a lot of effort to find..."
After saying that, he stuffed it into her hand. Before leaving, he turned back and couldn't help but say, "Miss Yu, you must remember to take it. If you lose it, I'm afraid... I won't be able to find it again."
After saying this, he bowed and left.
The box was very simple. She opened it and found three pills inside. Just as An Yuan said, he might have found them from far away as compensation for her.
She stroked the edge of the box and chuckled to herself, remembering the half month he had been away, it turned out that he had gone to find medicine for her.
But she happened to have seen such a medicine box on someone, Su Qinghe, so he went there.
Perhaps she was moved, or perhaps she finally had a chance to live, she picked up the cold tea and swallowed the pill in her mouth.

The next day, Qingxing came back from outside sighing.
The shopkeeper asked, "What's wrong, young lady?"
Qing Xing said, "Renting an apartment in the capital is too expensive. The minimum lease term is one year. If you only rent for half a year, the rent will be an extra fifth more."
The innkeeper asked, "Young lady, why do you want to rent a room? Isn't my inn good enough?"
Qing Xing was shocked and said, "Five taels of silver for one night, I feel so bad when I wake up from my sleep."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Although it's expensive, the food here is really good. The food is made by people who used to be in the palace. You definitely can't get it anywhere else."
"Well, that's what I said, but it's still too expensive for ordinary people like us to live in."
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I have a friend in the capital who's about to go back to his hometown. He has a very clean yard and is worried about no one to take care of it. If you really want to rent it, I'll go talk to him. It's just sitting there anyway, so I might as well make some money."
"Really?" Qing Xing asked, "Then please ask for the price for us."
The shopkeeper said, "Okay, I'll go right away when I have my afternoon off."
Qing Xing quickly said, "Okay, thank you, shopkeeper."
Early the next morning, the shopkeeper called Qingxing and said that they had agreed on five taels of silver a month, and a deposit of ten taels. The owner of the courtyard was a man who cherished his property and could not destroy it at will. If anything was damaged, he would have to pay compensation according to the full price.
Qingxing agreed immediately.
The shopkeeper said, "Since you think it's suitable, I'll take you to see it right away. But first, let me make it clear that you have to pay me 800 coins for your errand."
Qing Xing was surprised, "Eight hundred coins? That's so expensive?"
The shopkeeper was unhappy. "My dear lady, this is not expensive. This price is considered medium in the capital. Even if you find a broker, you still have to pay money and provide meals."
