Chapter 188 Engagement is OK
After all, they lived under the same roof for a long time, and Du Xiuxiu also found out that Du Wanwan was a girl. She admired her even more in her heart. They were both girls, so why was the elder sister so powerful?
He brought his whole family to Liang County City and settled down there. He opened a clinic and taught his elder brother how to do business.
If she were as capable as her elder sister, why would she worry about not being able to avenge her parents?
From then on, she followed her elder sister to study medicine. Her elder sister was already teaching her, and she also studied hard, hoping that one day she could become an envied miracle doctor like her elder sister.
Even if I don't have the talent of my elder sister, I will still be a famous doctor in the area within a ten-mile radius and will never tarnish my elder sister's reputation.
The people who were seeing the doctor outside were also trying to listen to the noise in the backyard, but no one dared to go in and find out. Doctor Du and his family at the People's Clinic were modest people and never talked about family matters with others.
Besides, the person sitting inside was Marquis Pingyang, so who would dare to gossip about him?
Du Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing the last patient. Ye Tingxiao had been paying attention to the movements here. Seeing that all the patients had left, he came out to help her close the door of the clinic and hung a sign saying that the clinic was closed for half a day.
Du Wanwan did not stop them and sat behind the examination table and watched. Du Xiuxiu also returned to the backyard at this time, not daring to stay here and disturb her elder sister and brother-in-law.
"Wanwan! It was my mother's idea to come here today to propose marriage. She was afraid that the news of my recovery would spread back to the capital, and my grandmother would arrange an engagement for me again."
Fearing that Du Wanwan would be unhappy, Ye Tingxiao explained, and by the way, he sat down on the chair opposite her and stretched out his hand: "Please take my pulse and see if my illness is completely cured."
Glancing at him indifferently, Du Wanwan raised two fingers and pressed them on his pulse.
After a moment, Ye Tingxiao raised his hand and changed it to another hand: "How is it? Am I fully recovered?"
After looking at him again, Du Wanwan did not reach out to feel his pulse, but looked at him meaningfully, just staring at him.
Ye Tingxiao felt embarrassed by her gaze and took back his hand: "Wanwan! Don't be like this, I feel guilty. If you have something to say, just tell me. I promise to listen to you."
Turning her head to look at the backyard, Du Wanwan lowered her voice and asked, "Ye Tingxiao! Have you thought it through? Do you really want to marry me? Do your parents agree? Are you not afraid of being ridiculed in the capital in the future? What I said before is not a joke, have you considered it seriously?"
"Yes. I've thought about it all. Don't worry! My parents approve of our marriage."
"Why did your grandmother in the capital arrange a marriage for you? Why did your mother get ahead of her? What secrets are going on in your family's backyard? Tell me everything honestly."
Seeing the fierce look on Du Wanwan's face, Ye Tingxiao did not dare to hide anything and told her everything about his family.
Du Wanwan narrowed her eyes, crossed her legs, and folded her arms: "So, your mother and your grandmother are fighting over your marriage? And I have become the poor sandwich? Sandwiched between the two of them? Is that what you mean?"
Ye Tingxiao held his forehead with his hand: "Wanwan! We will not go to the capital to get married, but only in Liangjun City. Don't worry about grandma. The mountains are high and the roads are long. She can't reach out even if she wants to."
"Step-grandmother? Not my biological grandmother?" Du Wanwan asked Ye Tingxiao slowly, "What position does she hold in your heart? If one day she uses filial piety to pressure me and insult me, what will you do?"
Ye Tingxiao swore to the sky: "When that day comes, I will definitely stand by your side. No matter how good my grandmother is, she is not mine alone. Only you are the one I will have in this life."
The expression on her face relaxed, and Du Wanwan smiled: "Ye Tingxiao! Remember every word you said. You were the one who started it between us. If one day you can't do what you said, I won't let you go."
"Don't worry! I will always remember what I said."
Ye Tingxiao understood what Du Wanwan was emphasizing. She would not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, and her things would not be coveted by others.
Otherwise, I would rather destroy it than let others get it for free.
This is very similar to him. After he understands her feelings, he will get the person no matter what the cost.
"Very good!" Du Wanwan stood up and called Ye Tingxiao, "Let's go in!"
In the backyard, Ye Zhenghai and Du Jiang were chatting, Chen Xiangxiu was listening, and Yao Meixian and Du Xiuxiu were making lunch.
When there are guests at home, she has to prepare them regardless of whether they plan to eat here or not. It's etiquette.
Chen Xiangxiu came alone today without a nanny. Knowing that the Du family had no servants, she didn't dare to bring anyone with her for fear of being rude.
Du Wanwan and Yetingxiao walked in one after another. Chen Xiangxiu greeted his future daughter-in-law when they saw them.
"Wanwan! Come, come, sit down. You must be exhausted after seeing patients for half a day! This cup of tea was made for you by Zhongyuan just now."
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Du Wanwan didn't hesitate and sat down. She knew very well what kind of person she was and didn't want to pretend to be a lady from a noble family, gentle and dignified.
When he met Chen Xiangxiu, he no longer had any cautious and flattering look on his face. He was still the same as usual.
"Wanwan! You don't have to be polite to me. We are a family from now on." Chen Xiangxiu smiled warmly, from the bottom of her heart, "You saved Zhongyuan's life, and you cured his illness, and he loves you. Mother just wants to settle the marriage as soon as possible to put Zhongyuan's worries to rest."
Ye Zhenghai looked back at Du Wanwan and responded with a smile: "Madam is right. You and Zhongyuan are not young anymore. It's time to get married."
After taking a sip of tea, Du Wanwan put down the cup in her hand and responded generously: "There is no problem with the engagement, but I have some personal opinions that need to be made clear."
"You speak, and mother listens."
Chen Xiangxiu didn't think that there was anything excessive in Du Wanwan's request. Her daughter-in-law was such a smart person, how could she get married without knowing anything? It was normal for her to have requests, and it would be strange if she didn't have any.
Ye Zhenghai nodded and motioned for Du Wanwan to speak.
Du Jiang: “????”
Matchmaker: “????”
Is Doctor Du stupid? Why is he making a personal request at this time? Shouldn't he agree to the marriage right away?
Being able to marry the eldest son of Pingyang Marquis is a blessing earned through several lifetimes.
Yao Meixian also pricked up her ears in the kitchen to listen to the noise outside. Judging from the attitude of the Pingyang Marquis and his wife, they had decided to marry her daughter Wanwan.
However, if her identity is revealed in the future, I wonder if it will affect Marquis Pingyang.
She was uneasy for a moment, then calmed down. She had been away from Dongchen for decades. Who would recognize her? When she was ten years old, her father was forced to abdicate by her uncle and was brutally murdered.
The six-year-old brother was taken away by his teacher, and no one knew where he went. The Taifu was her mentor, and that day she was stolen out by a little palace maid and sent to the Taifu's mansion.
The Grand Tutor took her out of Dongchen in a carriage at full speed. They lived in hiding for several years and finally died in a foreign land.
Not many people in Wei knew about this. As long as she didn't say anything, it wouldn't affect her daughter's marriage.
