Ever since Yan Baibai was rescued and brought back to the Jia Mansion, she couldn't even leave the Jia Mansion, let alone the yard.
The system originally wanted Yan Baibai to go out and approach Xiao Changhen, but as soon as it spoke, its stupid host began to cry in fear, and the system had to shut up. Fortunately, Jia Mianmian had a problem with her brain, and everyone just regarded her sudden panic and fear as a shock from drowning, and did not think much about it.
When the Jia family relaxed their control over Jia Mianmian a little, the system thought that given its host's current situation, it was not a good idea to approach Xiao Changhen rashly, as it might also cause the male protagonist of the mission to be disgusted and alert. So the system decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
It was a new day again. When the system was bored and opened the location of the male protagonist of the task, it saw a bright light approaching Yan Baibai.
When the system saw the housekeeper of the Jia family and a group of guards surrounding Xiao Changhen and bringing him to the Jia Mansion, its program was disrupted. Based on its many years of experience in system development, the behavior of the Jia family was definitely the most classic cannon fodder behavior - looking down on the male protagonist and bullying the male protagonist.
When the system saw Mr. Jia throw a large box of gold and silver treasures in front of Xiao Changhen, it imagined a classic scene from the saying "Don't bully the poor young man." It felt that the Jia family would eventually pay the price for their actions today, and would regret it deeply after seeing the powerful male protagonist...
"Since you have had physical contact with my daughter, marry her."
system:……
The system was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, and then it was ecstatic. It flipped to Xiao Changhen's dedicated page, and after Jia Yuanwai's words, the progress had miraculously increased a bit, proving that marrying the host and the protagonist was also a way to advance the plot.
Xiao Changhen was also stunned for a long time, then he bowed to Mr. Jia and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Mr. Jia, I was trying to save someone that day, and I didn't intend to have any physical contact with your daughter. If you are concerned about your daughter's reputation, you can rest assured that I will keep my mouth shut about what happened that day!"
"Many people saw it that day. This is not a secret that can be kept." Jia Yuanwai said, his face suddenly cold, and then he continued: "Or do you dislike my daughter?"
It is no secret that Mr. Jia has a mentally retarded daughter.
"You're being overly suspicious. Since you can say such things today, I believe you must have a certain understanding of me. In my situation, how can I be qualified to look down on others?" Xiao Changhen explained calmly, "I'm afraid that marrying me will only bring trouble to your daughter. Please think twice."
"I have been thinking about it for a long time. Don't worry, I will settle the debt left to you by your adoptive father, on the condition that you marry Mianmian." Ever since meeting Xiao Changhen, Jia Yuanwai has admired his conversation and calm temperament. Originally, he was thinking of testing him. As long as Xiao Changhen was a money-grubber, Jia Yuanwai would kick him out immediately, but his performance unexpectedly satisfied Jia Yuanwai.
"Master..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't marry her. Since Mianmian has had physical contact with you, she is yours in life and yours in death." After saying this, Mr. Jia picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, without looking at Xiao Changhen again.
The hall fell into silence for a moment, until more than ten breaths later, when Mr. Jia picked up the teacup and placed it to his mouth again, Xiao Changhen spoke.
"Okay, I'll marry you."
Mr. Jia used the teacup to cover the slightly raised corners of his mouth, cleared his throat, nodded to Xiao Changhen, then he called the housekeeper and gave him a few instructions. The housekeeper nodded after listening. After a cup of tea, the housekeeper came back with a maid.
"What's going on?" Jia Yuanwai frowned and asked, "Where is Mianmian?"
"My lord, the young lady is in... Madam's yard and doesn't want to come out." The maid stepped forward and knelt down, replying.
Mr. Jia's expression froze, and then all the anger on his face faded away.
Jia Yuanwai's original wife hanged herself in the sycamore tree in the yard ten years ago when Jia Yuanwai took a concubine. When Jia Yuanwai hurried over, he only saw his wife's body swaying slightly in the wind, and Jia Mianmian staring at the body from under the body.
Later, Jia Mianmian had a fever for three days and three nights, and became mentally retarded when she woke up. At that time, Jia Mianmian was five years old. Since then, Jia Yuanwai has sealed off his wife's yard and strictly prohibited people in the mansion from approaching.
However, if Jia Mianmian insisted on entering, no one in the mansion would dare to stop her. After all, everyone saw how much Mr. Jia doted on his daughter. If she still wanted to stay in the Jia mansion, she should never mess with Jia Mianmian!
"This is the young lady's brother-in-law. Take him to meet the young lady." Mr. Jia pointed at Yan Baibai who was standing upright in the hall. The tiredness on his face could no longer be concealed. He rubbed his nose helplessly.
"Yes." The maid stood up without looking up at Xiao Changhen. She bent down and led the way for Xiao Changhen: "Sir, please come this way."
Xiao Changhen was still a little shocked that Mr. Jia suddenly asked him to meet Jia Mianmian, but he immediately figured out the trick. He was probably not taking him to meet Jia Mianmian, but taking him to let Jia Mianmian take a look!
There was no special expression on Xiao Changhen's face. He bowed to Mr. Jia, then followed the maid out of the hall.
After Xiao Changhen's footsteps completely faded, the butler stepped forward a few steps to Mr. Jia's side, bowed and poured him some tea, and whispered, "Master, isn't the young lady's marriage too hasty? Although the son-in-law has no impeccable appearance, he is too young. Can he take good care of the young lady?"
