Chapter 118: Random Matchmaking
"Miss San, have you ever thought about what kind of family you want to marry in the future?"
Qin Xiangnuan listened to the old woman's words. Her spirit settled, her confidence was strong, and her face was much rosier than before, looking completely fine. The old woman held her hand tightly. Qin Xiangnuan tried to break free, but found she lacked the strength. She could only force an awkward smile and answer with some embarrassment, "My family has encountered difficulties. I'm still young and want to be by my parents' side to fulfill my filial duties. I haven't thought about this for a while."
Why is there someone urging marriage here? Qin Xiangnuan felt like her head was about to explode.
The old woman refused to let her go, moving forward a few inches as she spoke anxiously, "What about the future? What kind of man do you like? I know a lot of people in the village, and maybe I can find someone you like by chance. It would be a perfect match..."
"If I really want to find someone, I need to be able to talk things through, trust each other, and keep nothing secret." Qin Xiangnuan knew she couldn't persuade the old woman, so she could only answer seriously, "After more than ten years of working together, there will inevitably be bumps, misunderstandings, and arguments. I just want to find someone who can tolerate each other, who can put me first and keep me in their heart no matter what. That's enough, and I think it's too much to hope for."
Qin Xiangnuan looked at the old woman, naturally knowing what she was thinking. She added, "And we must be together forever, just like my parents. I have a bad temper and am jealous by nature. If my husband were to hang out in brothels and want to have countless concubines and maids, I would absolutely not tolerate it. My mother always said that if I asked for something like this, I could only stay by her side."
"So..." After hearing this, the old woman thought seriously for a moment, then looked up at Qin Xiangnuan and said, "Miss, what do you think of my son?"
What is coming will come, and there is no way to avoid it.
Qin Xiangnuan sighed and remained silent for a long moment. Seeing her hesitation, the old woman hurriedly spoke in Hei's favor, "Don't look at my son as dull-witted. You can tell from my expression that he's sensitive to others' feelings and considerate. I'm his mother, so I can tell he has feelings for you. He's just not very articulate and feels like a burden to the family, so he doesn't dare to speak out."
"I know that even if I recover, I won't have many years left to live. The only thing I'm worried about is him... Now I'm risking my dignity to speak to you on his behalf. If you think he's worth it, I'll talk to your old lady."
Qin Xiangnuan was just hesitating about how to refuse. While she was still in a daze, the old woman was about to get off the bed.
"You... please don't move!" Qin Xiangnuan said hurriedly as she watched the old woman stumble and fall to the ground. She wanted to rush over to help her, but it was too late. In the critical moment, Brother Hei ran over at lightning speed and supported the old woman.
This? When did he come?
Several questions popped up in Qin Xiangnuan's head, but the old woman was happy. Before she could even stand still, she urged Brother Hei to go over and said in a low voice, "You silly boy, go quickly... Miss Qin is a good girl. If you miss her, she will definitely have many people around her in the future..." Seeing that Qin Xiangnuan's face was getting more and more embarrassed, the old woman wanted to continue, but Brother Hei stopped her in a deep voice, "Mom, please stop!"
"The Third Miss is our savior. How can you repay her kindness with resentment?"
The old woman frowned, staring at Black Boss with dissatisfaction. A hint of control flashed in her eyes as she raised her hand and hit Black Boss again and again. "You are so brave! After staying in the mountains for a few days, you dare to contradict me! Since she is my savior, you should treat her well in the future!"
"Nuannuan, they've bought everything you wanted. Do you really want me to count them myself?"
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the doorway, and several people turned around at the same time. Jiang Lin leaned lazily against the doorway, holding a paper fan in his hand, and looked at Qin Xiangnuan with a slightly amused smile. Then, he walked towards Qin Xiangnuan in the crowd. He raised his hand and hooked it into Qin Xiangnuan's hair. "Is the thing I gave you yesterday still with you?"
"What?" Qin Xiangnuan was dizzy from the successive shocks and asked subconsciously.
Jiang Lin leaned close to her ear and said, "If you want me to rescue you, then cooperate with me." Qin Xiangnuan nodded in sudden realization and immediately put on a smiling expression with a hint of shyness on the corner of her mouth. "Of course I carry it with me every day. With it by my side, my heart is warm all day long." She spoke vaguely about the hot water bottle. The old woman looked back and forth between the two of them, feeling a little unwilling.
"Let's go." Jiang Lin took Qin Xiangnuan's hand and led her out of the house.
After taking a few steps and making sure that the mother and son were out of sight, Qin Xiangnuan broke free from Jiang Lin's hand and said lightly, "Thank you for your help, Prince."
"I thought you would blame me for ruining your good thing." Jiang Lin closed the paper fan, held the fan handle with his right hand and placed it on his shoulder, tilting his head to look at her, "I didn't expect that wherever the Third Miss went, so many people were thinking about her. It seems that back in the capital, it was Gu Mingqi who delayed the people who went to the general's mansion to propose marriage..." The old things were brought up again. Qin Xiangnuan was already uncomfortable, and now she was even more angry.
She raised her pointed chin and rolled her eyes rudely, "Why? Could it be that if Gu Mingqi wasn't there, the prince would have come to propose marriage?"
"Although the Xiaoyao Marquis's Mansion is a prestigious one, if it were my father at the height of his power, he wouldn't have been willing to let a dandy young man take me away. So, there's no need for you to feel sorry, my son." Qin Xiangnuan's words were laced with sarcasm. Jiang Lin blinked, speechless, at a loss for words. Qin Xiangnuan snorted coldly, feeling like she still hadn't vented all her anger. She walked up to Jiang Lin, nearly bumping her head against his chest.
What is this girl going to do?
Jiang Lin muttered to himself, but soon got the answer. He bit his lip and groaned, looking at the footprints with extremely clear lines on the clean shoe surface, "Hey! Is this how you treat your benefactor?" Qin Xiangnuan stopped, turned around and looked at him, pulling the corners of her mouth, revealing the most funny and exaggerated face, sticking out her tongue, and then left with her high ponytail swinging.
"This guy..." Jiang Lin recalled her pouting and puffing up her lips, and smiled helplessly.
Qin Xiangnuan took a few steps forward, preparing to go back to the house to rest, muttering, "What a nonsense! Nonsense, why do you always mention Gu Mingqi? You use him to disgust me!" Thinking of the past when the original owner was entangled with the seventh prince, Qin Xiangnuan felt uncomfortable in her stomach.
Not mentally, but physically.
She really had a stomachache! Qin Xiangnuan covered her stomach with her hands, slowly squatted down, and supported herself on the wall.
