"Second aunt is quite smart!" Tangtang pointed at Quanyue and said, "The other one is for eldest aunt."
Quan Yue immediately handed the bowl of big buns to Chen Ya.
"Auntie's love for Tangtang is not in vain!" Chen Ya immediately reached out and touched Tangtang's shoulder, then took the big meat bun from Quanyue's hand.
"Eat quickly, auntie."
Chen Ya took a bite of the bun with tears in her eyes. After Ning Xiaotang stepped out of the Buddhist hall, Quan Yue said, "Miss, will the Second Young Master's wife's behavior have any impact on the two young masters?"
"My third and fourth brothers have never been close to her. Most of the time they hang out with Brother Zilin. Don't worry!"
"Yes, I am overthinking it."
At Po-po Qian's house, Qian Fangcao was washing herself with a basin of water when Po-po Qian said coldly, "You really need to wash yourself. You'll be marrying Liu Liniu as a concubine soon, so you'll need to wash yourself even more carefully then!"
"Grandma, why do you insist on me marrying Liu Liniu?" Qian Fangcao's eyes were filled with tears, as if she felt pain in her heart.
"Don't be so delicate, show me how to do it. You look good in front of Liu Liniu!"
Mrs. Qian ignored Qian Fangcao's crying and pleading, "Grandma, I just don't want to marry Liu Liniu. As long as you promise to cancel the Liu family's marriage, I will definitely marry Ning Zilin. He can at least let you hold your head up high in the village, right?"
Mrs. Qian raised her triangular eyes and asked, "Can you really marry that boy Ning Zilin?"
"Grandma, I'm sure of it!" Qian Fangcao knew that Mrs. Qian was moved as soon as she saw her eyes.
"Grandma, think about it, Ning Zilin has always been kind to me. He always takes me with him when he goes to pick wild mushrooms. We grew up together. Isn't this friendship more reliable than that of Liu Liniu?
Besides, the Ning family has two houses made of blue bricks and tiles. As long as grandma lets me marry Ning Zilin, won’t you be able to visit the Ning family and see the big house every day in the future?
Even if you don't live here, you can always come to the Ning family to ask for food and drink, right?"
Mrs. Qian immediately said in a deep voice, "Even if you're trying to extort money, you can't be as blatant as me. If you can really get Ning Zilin to propose to me, I will definitely cancel Liu Liniu's marriage!"
"Grandma, do you really agree?" Qian Fangcao immediately pulled up her clothes and sat up straight.
"But let me put this in front of you. I am your milk, and you have to provide me with food and drink so that I can live a life without worries! Otherwise, you will have no choice but to marry Liu Liniu!"
Mrs. Qian left her words and walked out.
Qian Fangcao's eyes darkened: "Ning Zilin, you are finally mine!"
"Qian Fangcao, why did you call me out so late?" Ning Zilin heard Qian Fangcao calling him outside the house in his sleep.
They agreed on a bird call, and Ning Zilin came out at night after hearing the call.
Qian Fangcao immediately took off her clothes and said, "Zilin, I want to marry you! There has always been someone in my heart, and that person is you!"
Ning Zilin, a young man full of vigor, felt his hair stand on end immediately when he was hugged by a little girl.
"What are you doing? You are engaged!" Ning Zilin wanted to break free immediately, but he could not help but smell the special fragrance of a woman.
For a moment I found it difficult to refuse.
Ning Zilin returned to the mansion in a panic that morning and immediately ran to Ning Xiaotang's yard: "Quanyue, is my sister awake?"
"My Lord, the young lady has just woken up and is having breakfast in the main hall."
"Prepare an extra portion so my sister and I can eat together."
"Yes, I'll prepare it right away." Quan Yue immediately retreated.
Banyue led Ning Zilin into the main hall and said, "Sister, I'm here to discuss something with you."
"Brother, why are you here so early? Come sit down and have breakfast together."
Quanyue then brought a bowl of porridge and steamed buns to the table.
Ning Zilin immediately said, "You guys step back first. I have something to talk to my sister."
Ning Xiaotang immediately waved her hand: "Everyone go down!"
Several maids immediately left the room and went to a distant place.
"Sister, I seem to have done something bad yesterday!" Ning Zilin's face suddenly turned red with shame when he thought of the scenes of last night.
"Brother, is there something embarrassing going on? Both of your faces are blushing?" Ning Xiaotang asked cutely.
"Sister, I just want to ask you, if a woman is in love with me, should I marry her as my wife and live in love with her for the rest of my life?"
"That depends on whether Big Brother truly loves this woman. If so, then making her your legal wife wouldn't be excessive. However, if she's plotting against you to achieve some goal, then she can only be taken in as a concubine, not your legal wife."
Although it was just a few short sentences, Ning Zilin already had an idea in his mind when he came out of Ning Xiaotang's yard.
Ning Zilin came to the main hall: "Grandma, I need you to handle something."
Although Luo Xiangqin is a peasant woman, she handles all the matters of the Ning residence in an orderly manner. Since she does many things herself, she seems to be a busy person.
"Zi Lin, what brings you here so early?"
"Grandma, I want to marry Qian Fangcao to you as my concubine, and the sooner the better!"
Luo Xiangqin's face was shocked, then she said, "Could it be that you have already?"
"Grandma, please come in person!"
Ning Zilin stared at Luo Xiangqin in panic.
"Okay, I understand. I'll do it myself!" Luo Xiangqin secretly regretted it in her heart. It must be that Ning Zilin went out last night and ruined everything.
Luo Xiangqin personally went to the warehouse to select some gifts and cloth, then took twenty taels of silver and called Chen Ya and Hai Moying to go to Qian Pozi's house together.
Mrs. Qian had a face that looked like a chrysanthemum when she smiled.
He immediately agreed to let Qian Fangcao move into Ning's house.
As soon as Luo Xiangqin came out of the Qian family's house, Mrs. Qian came up to her and said, "It's the good medicine I gave you yesterday that made you happy!"
Qian Fangcao immediately blushed: "Grandma, don't ever mention this again!"
Qian Fangcao also understood that half of the reason why Ning Zilin impulsively wanted her yesterday was because of that enchanting fragrance.
Mrs. Qian took the gift that Mrs. Liu had given her and ten taels of silver, and went to Mrs. Liu's house in a very arrogant manner to break off the engagement.
After hearing the news, Liu Liniu succeeded in getting Qian Pozi to cancel the engagement, and started scolding Qian Pozi because Qian Pozi always oppressed Liu Pozi.
This made Mrs. Liu lose face, so she had to return the engagement letter and let Qian Fangcao cancel the engagement.
"Mom, how could you let Mrs. Qian break off the engagement? I've been waiting to embrace Qian Fangcao!" Liu Liniu turned his face away angrily.
"Li Niu, we still have money, and it's not difficult to find a wife. Why do we have to ask for Qian Fangcao?"
Liu Liniu could only sigh: "Hey! Qian Fangcao knows some martial arts, she will definitely be able to help mother with a lot of work in the future!"
"What can we do? I heard that someone from the Ning family has come to propose marriage, and wants Qian Fangcao to be our concubine!"
