Chapter 62
"Young Master Wei?" Zhang Yunniang was surprised. Why was he here so late?
"Yun Niang, can we talk?"
"Hmm? What's wrong? Come in quickly, our master is still awake."
"No, I want to talk to you."
Seeing him seeming to hesitate, Zhang Yunniang wondered if his exams hadn't gone well. There were many people who failed after ten years of hard study.
She didn't dare to ask directly.
He went out first and closed the door.
"There's no need to force yourself to take the imperial examination. You're still young and have plenty of opportunities."
Zhang Yunniang was still thinking about what to say to comfort people, but she was not good at comforting people.
When she feels bad, she just covers herself with the quilt and cries. When she wants to comfort others, she will just ask them if they want to cry for a while.
But a tough guy like Wei Yijun would probably rather choose to fight than cry, right?
If we were to fight, her mediocre skills wouldn't even be enough to serve as an appetizer, so forget it.
She was still racking her brains when Wei Yijun suddenly touched his head and started spinning around.
Looking at this, I feel excited and thrilled. Is this happiness or unhappiness?
She was also confused.
"Miss Zhang, I passed the exam, I passed the exam."
Wei Yijun pretended to be calm all the way, but now he couldn't hold it in anymore.
"I wanted to tell you this news earlier. During the day, my family held a celebration banquet. Now that the banquet is over, I rushed over immediately."
Zhang Yunniang was also happy for him when she heard this.
It's all good news today.
"I'll tell our Master. When he finds out, he'll be happy for you."
All the scholars she knew passed the exam, which gave Zhang Yunniang the illusion that the exam would be easy.
Bah, bah, bah, how can you think that? It's all the result of her own hard work. If she were to take the exam, she would definitely fail.
Wei Yijun was quick to grab the man's wrist and pull him back.
"Miss Zhang, are you willing to marry me now?"
How can "Ah?" be so sudden?
"I've passed the exam now. Even if my palace exam results are bad, I can still enter the Imperial Academy. My future is limitless. I'm very useful. Are you willing to marry me?"
Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but frown, as if it was a little more troublesome than she had expected.
Mrs. Wei’s words that day kept echoing in my ears.
That day, she came politely and tried to persuade him with kind words. If there was any further involvement, it would probably not be resolved amicably. The family of the Earl's Mansion was not something she, a commoner, could offend.
She despised the young man's sincerity.
She is guilty.
"Miss Zhang, I really like you. My family background is clean and my future is bright. Marry me and I will give you a good life."
The affection and sincerity in Wei Yijun's eyes made Zhang Yunniang a little at a loss.
She didn't want to hurt such a sincere young man, but she really couldn't give him what he wanted.
The identities of the two are very different. If Wei Yijun was just a first-class civilian, she might have some chance of compromise.
No, there is no possibility of her compromising.
This is the original owner's body, and she will not make any decisions for the original owner.
She was just a ghost temporarily residing in this body. She didn't know how long she would stay in this body, nor did she know if she would suddenly leave this body one day in the future.
She has an unspeakable secret.
Seeing that no one spoke, Wei Yijun continued, "At the family dinner today, my grandparents, my parents, my brother and his wife, they were all in pairs. Only I was alone. I can't wait any longer. I want to marry you now. As long as you agree, I will ask my mother to come to our house and propose tomorrow."
"Mr. Wei, I'm sorry. I, you are a good person, and you will definitely meet someone who truly likes you."
"Why? Is it because of Yuan Jin?"
"no."
"Why is that? Am I not good-looking? Not your type?"
The young master scratched the back of his head in confusion, his handsome face full of puzzlement. He had been practicing martial arts for many years and had a slender figure. His strong muscles were not noticeable when he was wearing clothes, and he was no different from his brother.
My sister-in-law's heart and eyes are full of my brother. He thinks he is not bad looking, right?
Zhang Yunniang had never been pursued so directly and passionately before, so it seemed a bit false for her not to feel touched.
But she is self-aware.
They were both under twenty years old, so it was just that they couldn't see clearly at the moment. There were many differences between the two people in their origins, upbringings, concepts, and education.
She didn't think that she, an ordinary person, could win the favor of the young master of the Bo Mansion.
Maybe it was just because of the initial rejection that made him rebellious?
"No, the word love is the most difficult to explain clearly. Master Wei, I'm sorry."
"So you hate me?"
"What?"
"Do you hate me?"
"How could that be? Young Master Wei is such a good person,"
"Then let's get married first, and we can slowly cultivate our feelings after marriage. I will prove to you that if you marry me, you will never put your trust in the wrong person."
Inside the house, Lanzhi and Jun Qingmo lay on each side of the door panel, listening carefully to the movements outside.
Lanzhi whispered, "Eavesdropping is not a gentleman's way. Sir, isn't this inappropriate?"
"Aren't you here too?"
"I am a woman, not a gentleman."
"I am a villain, not a gentleman."
Lanzhi was speechless. The young man from a noble family who was once as gentle as jade had changed so much.
"Master Wei is bold in what he does and what he says. If you continue to be a coward, he will be kidnapped."
Jun Qingmo tilted his neck, feeling very unsure, "Yunniang will never marry him."
"How do you know he won't? Young Master Wei has good character, a good family background, and a bright future. He's a perfect candidate for a son-in-law."
"A family like that has extremely strict rules and etiquette. Yunniang wouldn't like that kind of life."
"It's easy to find a priceless treasure, and a man needs a lover. Are you the only one who understands her?"
"Shh, don't make any noise."
Jun Qingmo didn't want to engage in meaningless arguments here, he just wanted to know what was being said outside the door.
"Master Wei, I'm sorry. I will never marry in this lifetime. This is not a joke or an excuse."
Wei Yijun didn't believe it. "Why? Has anyone ever hurt you?"
"Everyone in this world, whether right or wrong, good or bad, can make their own choices. Some people believe in true love and will choose to get married, while others do not believe in long-term love and have the right to refuse. I came into this world not to be someone's wife or someone's mother, but to be myself."
"I just want a simple life, a peaceful old age. Just like an ant on the ground, I go out to find food when I'm hungry and go back to rest when I'm tired. The changes in the world and the shifts in power among the noble families have nothing to do with me. I wake up every day in the morning light and fall asleep in the sunset glow."
"This world has room for both the strong and the weak. I am just an ordinary person, with no good family background, no stunning looks, no versatile skills, no resourceful intelligence, and no lofty ambitions or aspirations."
"So, I won't desire anything that doesn't belong to me. Master Wei, I don't know where you misunderstood me. I don't know how you beautified my image in your mind. That was all your beautified consciousness, not the real me. Between us, there are mountains, seas, and so many things. From now on, don't say that again. You will meet a woman who is your perfect match."
"Miss Zhang, I'm a rough person. I don't understand those big principles. I only know that liking someone is liking someone. I like you simply because you are you, not because of anything else. You don't need to have stunning looks, a good family background, or a resourceful mind, nor do you need to be multi-talented. There are many dignified and elegant young ladies from official families, and there are also many talented and accomplished young ladies from aristocratic families. What does it have to do with me? In my eyes and heart, there is only you, no one else."
"Do you want to see my young master? I'll go in and tell him." Zhang Yunniang didn't know what else to say. At this moment, she chose to escape. She couldn't give a response, and everything she said would be in vain.
She thought that perhaps after a while, Wei Yijun would figure it out.
"No, no, I'll visit you another day. I know Yuan Jin will definitely pass the exam, so congratulate him for me."
"Okay, I will."
Wei Yijun turned and left, took a few steps, and then turned back, "Miss Zhang, I won't give up."
His eyes were filled with sadness and helplessness. "Miss Zhang, please stop hiding from me, okay? Give me a chance to pursue you."
"sorry."
Looking at the departing figure, Zhang Yunniang felt a little sad.
The sincerity of others is the hardest to repay.
It is even more uneasy to trample on people's sincerity.
Every time the coachman gave her exquisite pastries and snacks, she could tell that they came from her uncle's mansion.
How could a mere rickshaw driver afford to buy such things? They claimed to be homemade, but the high-quality nuts used were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
She was already trying her best to prevent the possibility of the two of them being alone together, as anything she said unintentionally would be remembered.
I just casually said that the ornamental fish raised by Mr. Huaiyuan were beautiful, and the next day someone put them at the door.
But what could she do? Use the original owner's body to start a family and have children?
She can't do it.
It’s unfair to the original owner and it’s also unfair to the other half.
If one day in the future, she inexplicably left this body and the original owner came back, how would they deal with the mess she left behind?
She just wants to live an ordinary life, borrowing the body of the original owner, continuing to see this beautiful world, taste delicious food, and feel those inconspicuous but warm little moments.
It would be nice to just live an ordinary life.
This is the truth, but the sadness in my heart has not disappeared.
It turns out that rejection is the hardest thing to do, especially when it's not done with malicious intent.
Standing there, Zhang Yunniang tried to calm down a bit. This sadness wasn't because she had feelings for Wei Yijun, but because of the sadness and guilt she felt after rejecting him and seeing his lonely back.
Lanzhi: "Why is there no sound?"
Jun Qingmo: "I can't hear it either."
Lanzhi was shocked. "Could it be that he suddenly figured it out and went after him?"
Jun Qingmo was feeling uneasy and kept peeking through the crack of the door, hoping to catch a glimpse of the scene outside.
The door is tightly closed, with no gaps at all.
He was anxious and hesitant, just as he was hesitating whether to open the door and take a look, he was thrown over by a strong force. Lanzhi, who was standing nearby, was also dragged backwards and fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Yunniang looked at the chaotic scene in the yard. What were these two people doing?
Lanzhi looked guilty and pretended to be calm as she got up from the ground. Her butt hurt and she wanted to rub it, but she thought it was too indecent, so she gave up.
Jun Qingmo's mind raced, and he started shouting, "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."
