She was filled with nothing but admiration.
Seeing that Qiao Lian'er now held a high status and still remembered her, Madam Han was moved once again.
"Miss Qiao, gentlemen, and young man, please come in and have a seat and some tea," she said warmly.
"No, I have something to attend to. I'll visit Madam Han another time," Qiao Lian'er said.
Upon arriving at the Jiang family's gate, they heard the voice of Master Jiang coming from inside.
"You're not eating again. Look how thin you've become. She already has someone she likes, yet you're still so persistent, making things difficult for me and your mother, and for the Qiao family as well. Why do this?"
"Daughter, please think more about your parents. Seeing you like this, your parents can't rest easy every day," Madam Jiang pleaded.
Jiang Yao was in her room, the door tightly shut, and she didn't respond to any noises outside.
Only Mr. Jiang and his wife stood anxiously outside.
"The Qiao family initially intended to arrange a marriage, but who knew that Qiao Dacheng would have such an experience? There are thousands of miles between you two, so it's really not a good match."
"He's already found a girl he likes in the capital. Just consider it as you two not being meant to be. Don't be so obsessed with him."
The Qiao family was deeply moved by the understanding and reasonable nature of the Jiang family's parents.
If they join Jiang Yao in causing trouble, things will probably get chaotic.
"Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, are you home?" Old Mrs. Qiao asked at the door.
"Yes, they're here." Madam Chiang composed herself and came out to greet the guests.
Master Jiang went to the main hall to make tea.
Seeing that Qiao Dacheng had also arrived, Madam Jiang was a little surprised. Could it be—
A sense of anticipation crept into my heart.
But she also felt it was impossible. If the Qiao family had changed their minds, it would have been a clear stance long ago. They would probably have sent Da Cheng to put an end to Jiang Yao's hopes in person.
Qiao Dacheng greeted Jiang's parents. Seeing his military bearing, his humility and politeness, and his handsome appearance, the Jiang couple felt a pang of regret.
"Have some tea," said Master Jiang cheerfully, though a lingering worry remained in his eyes.
Jiang Yao's room door opened silently, and she peeked out halfway to look into the living room. Her gaze fell on the figure sitting upright, her pupils slowly dilated, and her hand involuntarily tightened its grip on the door frame.
She had met Qiao Dacheng before. He led his army through Qingshui Town, and his imposing presence was irresistible, attracting the hearts of many girls in the town, including her.
Now, he exudes a more commanding and decisive aura, and is also more composed.
She seemed to see him standing on the battlefield, sword in hand, with thousands of enemy corpses at his feet, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.
If you had a man like that by your side, you would definitely feel safe and secure for the rest of your life.
She never expected him to come to her house. Was he finally moved by her feelings and decided to marry her?
Yes, she waited anxiously day after day, unable to eat or drink, hoping for news from him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qiao Dacheng said, "Uncle, Aunt, I came back specifically to apologize to you. I know Miss Jiang's heart is full of affection, and I know she has suffered. Whoever marries such a sincere girl is blessed. I am truly unworthy of her."
"I'm already engaged, so there's no way I'm considering any other girls."
Jiang Yao's expectation froze on her face, and she felt as if she had been doused with cold water. It turned out that Da Cheng had come to reject her.
