Chapter 14: Was She Dreaming? (1/2)



Wan Ruo felt annoyed and didn't even want to look at it: "Let it fall."

"But dragging it on like this is not a solution."

"It's better to postpone it for as many days as possible."

If he can't bear it anymore, he will naturally look for another woman. It's not like he doesn't have anyone else.

Wanruo was having a headache thinking about it and really didn't want to bother thinking about it anymore.

The next day, Xie Xiulin came to visit Wanruo again.

"Why do you look worse day by day? You seem even worse than yesterday. What a quack that doctor is!" Xie Xiulin touched her pale little face, feeling very worried.

"Don't blame the doctor, it's my own poor health."

Wanruo took her hand and chatted with a smile: "Did you have fun at the poetry reading yesterday?"

"Of course it's fun. The third daughter of the Jiang family is indeed a talented woman with the title of female champion. She is proficient in poetry and painting. She won first place yesterday. It's a pity that big brother was too busy to go to the court."

Xie Xiulin said with a smile, "I heard that big brother and Miss Jiang San's marriage is about to be finalized. Miss Jiang San is very kind and even gave us sisters gifts. Look, she gave me this butterfly hairpin with hanging beads, which is the latest style from Caidiexuan."

Wanruo touched the exquisitely crafted butterfly wings on the hairpin with her finger, and the wings began to flutter gently, as if they were real.

"What a beautiful hairpin."

"If you go, there will definitely be some. Miss Jiang is very generous and good-natured. No wonder the eldest lady chose her."

Wan Ruo pursed her lips and smiled: "I am unlucky."

"There's one more thing," Xie Xiulin suddenly remembered.

"When I returned home today, I saw a scholar at the gate. I asked him who he was looking for, but he hesitated and didn't say anything. Then I remembered that you and he talked in the woods at the Spring Feast that day, so I asked him if he was looking for you."

Xie Xiulin smiled and covered her mouth: "When I asked, his face turned red and he immediately denied it, saying that he was not looking for you and asked me not to say anything to ruin your reputation."

Wanruo was stunned for a moment: "Lin Han?"

"Hey, how come I didn't even tell you who it is, but you already know the name? Sister Wanruo, something's wrong with you!" Xie Xiulin said with a smile.

Wanruo smiled and said, "Stop making fun of me."

"I said at the time, 'Luckily you weren't looking for her, otherwise she would be sick and wouldn't be able to see you.' When he heard you were sick, he panicked and immediately asked what was wrong."

Wanruo didn't expect that Lin Han would come to her so soon. It seemed that he was easier to deal with than she thought.

Wanruo felt a little relieved. If she really wanted to get married, she would marry a simple man. She really didn't want to spend the rest of her life serving that ancestor in fear every day like she did now.

"Sister Wanruo, are you hiding something from me? How are you and this Lin Han responding?"

Wan Ruo avoided her gaze: "What's the matter? We just met once at the last Spring Banquet."

"So it's love at first sight? I was wondering why you didn't care about these banquets. It turns out you already have someone you love."

Wanruo blushed and quickly grabbed her hand: "Xiulin, don't say such nonsense."

"Of course I wouldn't say anything nonsense. Are you still worried about me? I was just teasing you."

Xie Xiulin said, taking out a packet of medicine: "Here, he heard you were sick, and rushed to buy medicine. He was also worried that you would not have anyone to buy medicine for you while you were living under someone else's roof. I asked Hongliu to wait at the door and brought it in for you."

Wanruo took the small medicine bag and smiled, "Thank you very much."

"I think he's very poor. If you marry him, you'll have to endure poverty for the rest of your life."

Wan Ruo said nonchalantly: "That's better than now."

"That's true. After all, he has some achievements. Your stepmother and clansmen will definitely not dare to sell you out again. Since you have made up your mind, why not go and ask the old lady to let you go out and get married? I think that fool likes you very much."
