Duan Yang's face was full of seriousness: "Master Liang, this is a serious matter, how can we joke about it?"
Shen Yuexi and Liang Ruitian looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they both felt that it was indeed strange for Duan Yang to come and propose marriage at this time.
Seeing that the two were uneasy, Duan Yang sighed.
He took a sip of tea and said helplessly, "You two don't know, but my eldest daughter has always admired Young Master Liang, the young general, and has long been yearning for him."
"It's just that in the past few years, Young Master Liang has mostly been in the army. Even when he returned to Beijing, he was with the eldest daughter of the Cen family..."
Duan Yang chuckled dryly and swallowed back his words. "Anyway, I'm here today to resolve a matter that my daughter has been worried about. I hope Lord Liang and Madam will consider it carefully."
If marrying Liang Shuda was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's own idea, it might not be impossible.
After all, Liang Shuda is a young general, and with his handsome appearance, he is indeed the man that many daughters of high status have in their hearts.
If Miss Duan privately asked Duan Yang for help, and considering Duan Yang's love for his daughter, it would be reasonable for him to ask for marriage on behalf of his daughter.
Shen Yuexi pondered for a long time, then smiled at Duan Yang and said, "The Duke of Zhenguo's move today was too sudden. I'm afraid we still need to discuss this matter with my son. How about you go back first, and after we have come to a conclusion with my son, I will come to discuss it with you in person?"
Duan Yang smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, things like this need to be discussed carefully."
They chatted for a while, and then Shen Yuexi and Liang Ruitian personally saw Duan Yang and his wife off.
Before leaving, Duan Yang took out the golden tiger again and wanted to give it to Liang Yuyu.
But the little guy turned his head away, hid his hands behind his back, and refused to take it no matter what.
[Conspiracy! It must be a conspiracy!]
Liang Yuyu just listened to the whole thing, and the more she listened, the more she felt that there must be something fishy behind Duan Yang's proposal of marriage at this time.
[This golden tiger cannot be taken away.]
Liang Yuyu glanced at him reluctantly out of the corner of her eye.
【You can’t take it back even if you want it! 】
Duan Yang and Qi He got on the carriage.
As he watched the gate of Liang Mansion getting farther and farther away, the smile on Duan Yang's face gradually froze.
Qi He hung his head, fiddling with his hands in front of him, stretching the handkerchief out long.
"Master, do you really want the eldest daughter to marry into the Liang family?"
Although Duan Yang's eldest daughter is not Qi He's biological daughter, she was raised by him. Qi He felt particularly uncomfortable when he thought that the eldest daughter was going to marry into the Liang family.
Seeing that Duan Yang didn't reply, Qi He said reluctantly in a cold voice, "The eldest lady has known for the past few days that you are thinking of arranging a marriage for her, and she has been worried to the point of not wanting to eat or drink. If she knew that you actually wanted her to marry into the Liang Mansion, I'm afraid she would cry even more."
"No matter what, she is still your daughter. How could you bear to..."
"Have you said enough?"
Before Qi He finished speaking, she saw Duan Yang's gloomy gaze as sharp as a knife falling on her face.
Since the fall of the Qi family, Duan Yang's attitude towards Qi He has been much worse than before, and Qi He understands it in his heart.
But he had never yelled at me like he did today.
The more Qi He thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. His eyes suddenly turned red. "I'm doing this for the eldest daughter's own good. She doesn't want to marry. If you force her, there will be trouble between you and your daughter in the future."
Duan Yang sighed: "Do you think I would like my daughter to marry a military commander?"
He closed his eyes, holding a walnut in his right hand, and gently turned it: "But right now, besides the Liang family, do you have a better choice to help us get through this crisis?"
"Don't forget, if our Duan family's business fails, you will also suffer."
Qi He straightened up and wanted to refute.
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
Duan Yang is right.
People outside don’t know, but the Duke’s Mansion itself knows it very well.
The person who brought the news will probably arrive in the capital soon.
If we can't find a reliable backer before that, I'm afraid no one will be able to protect the Duke's Mansion this time.
Qi He lowered his eyelids: "But the Liang family may not agree."
Duan Yang's voice became even deeper: "If they don't agree, we can only force them."
Qi He wanted to ask Duan Yang what he wanted to do, but the latter leaned against the wall of the carriage and remained silent.
Liang Mansion.
Shen Yuexi called Liang Shuda and Liang Xinmin to the study.
She roughly told them the purpose of Duan Yang's visit today.
After hearing what Shen Yuexi said, Liang Xinmin sneered and turned to look at Liang Shuda: "Brother, I think this is a good thing. You were worried about not being able to get rid of Cen Yiyi, now it's all right. As long as you get married, how can that Cen Yiyi have the nerve to pester you?"
[Shut up! ]
"Shut up!"
Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu, one complained about Liang Xinmin in his heart, while the other directly scolded him.
This made Liang Xinmin feel extremely embarrassed.
He hung his head, scratching the back of his head with his right hand, looking embarrassed. "I'm just saying that. The final decision is up to you, big brother."
Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Liang Shuda's face.
The latter frowned, half lowered his head, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
After a long moment, he looked at Shen Yuexi tentatively: "Mother, is this Zhenguo Duke sincere? They are a wealthy family. How can they look down upon a family like us who are born into a military family?"
[Of course I look down on it.]
[The Duke of Zhenguo is now anxious to marry his daughter to my eldest brother. There must be something else going on.]
Liang Yuyu complained secretly in her heart.
[Or maybe the Zhenguo Mansion has caused some trouble that cannot be resolved, so they want to drag our Liang Mansion into it.]
[Or maybe the Duke of Zhenguo's eldest daughter has some shameful problem, and wants to give it to my eldest brother at a discount.]
【In short, it is definitely not a good thing. 】
Just when Liang Shuda and Liang Xinmin arrived, Liang Yuyu had already carefully thought it over in her mind.
[However, if one wants to find out why the Duke of Zhenguo insisted on having his daughter marry his eldest brother, it is not difficult.]
[As long as the news gets out, especially to Cen Yiyi, given her personality, she'll definitely come to the house and cause a scene with the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.]
[By then, the truth about why the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to marry his daughter to my eldest brother will be revealed.]
Unless what he said was true, it would be strange if the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion didn't make a scene when she found out her father had arranged such a marriage for her.
Liang Yuyu smacked her pink lips, her eyes flickering as she wondered if there were any logical loopholes in her method.
She didn't even notice that the other people's eyes had brightened slightly unconsciously.
That’s a great idea!
Shen Yuexi paused for a few seconds, raised her eyelids, and looked at Liang Shuda: "Tomorrow I will send someone to invite a matchmaker to come to my house. Since she is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, it is natural that the wedding must be grand and glamorous. In the end, the whole city will know about it, so that I can do justice to the Duke."
