Rong Ting's breath was caught in his throat.
It took him a long time to finally find his voice, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you seriously considered it?"
Although he said this, he did not give Jiang Rao time to seriously consider it, and then said: "I shouldn't have said those words just now. I was forcing you. I didn't even consider whether you have someone you like..."
His voice was originally low, and it lowered even lower at this time, "If you already have someone you like, I shouldn't have said those words just now. I broke the rules, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Jiang Rao quickly shook her head, "No."
Rong Ting lowered his head, said nothing, and had a cold look in his eyes.
As long as she said "yes", he would find that person even if he had to dig three feet deep.
Even if his hands were covered in blood and he had to be reborn as an animal in the next life, he would still break that man's neck.
Jiang Rao said anxiously: "I've thought about it."
If she hadn't foreseen what would happen next, and knew that he would become successful, she wouldn't have gotten involved with him. First she compensated him, then she sympathized with him, and now... sometimes she couldn't tell whether she was trying to curry favor with him or... she really wanted to help him.
In his dreams, many women wanted to climb into his bed, but no one succeeded.
If she could get engaged to him, it would be the benefit brought to her by the predictive dream.
If there was someone like her, who could also have predictive dreams and was nice to him from the beginning, then the one he could completely trust now would not be her?
This thought made Jiang Rao inexplicably stunned, but she did not think about it carefully. She just nodded firmly at Rong Ting, and as if she was afraid that he would regret it, she grabbed his hand and said, "I've made up my mind."
For the first time, Rong Ting's face turned red. He lowered his eyelids and his eyelashes trembled slightly. "There is no matchmaker or engagement, but we still cannot break the rules."
But he curled his fingers and held Jiang Rao's hand in his own.
Strictly controlled, with no rules at all.
…
Ning'an Marquis's Mansion.
Fourth Master Jiang's face turned pale as he looked at the two figures kneeling in front of him.
Jiang Rao looked at Rong Ting beside her with concern.
She didn't want him to kneel because his leg injury had not healed yet, but he insisted on kneeling, so she helped him down from the wheelchair.
However, she didn't expect that he would kneel with her for half an hour.
Cong Rongting told her father that he wanted to marry her, and her father just pursed his lips and said nothing.
When Fourth Master Jiang saw Jiang Rao's eyes frequently turned to Rong Ting, he became angry and threw the teacup in his hand towards Rong Ting.
But the teacup was blocked by Jiang Rao.
The cold and bitter tea splashed all over her. She opened her wet eyelids and said, "Dad, don't blame him. I forced him to do that."
Rong Ting wiped the water drops off Jiang Rao's face with his sleeve, "She didn't force me."
Fourth Master Jiang watched them defending each other, his eyes like an ice cellar emitting cold air. Finally, he could no longer bear it and stood up. He walked to Jiang Rao, looking down at her with a chilly voice, "Come back to my study with me."
After entering the study and closing the door, he took out a ruler from the drawer.
He had used this ruler on Jiang Jinxing and broke it several times, but he had never taken it out in front of Jiang Rao. "You didn't go to Yun Ling, so I thought you had changed your mind. I knew it, I knew it..."
When Jiang Rao looked at the ruler, she knew that her father was really angry.
A short pain is worse than a long one.
With a plop.
Jiang Rao knelt down heavily. She wiped her eyes with her fingers and tears suddenly welled up, "Dad."
She had guessed what the situation would be like before she came, and asked Jiang Jinxing for some chili peppers for him to use to pretend crying, and smeared them all over her hands. Now she didn't need to squeeze her eyes, tears just flowed out, "Dad, I am an unfilial daughter, but I really want to marry him. You can beat me, you can scold me, as long as you agree to me in the end."
Her tears were always very effective.
"Marriage is a big deal, how can it be a joke? I can promise you anything, but this is absolutely impossible."
Fourth Master Jiang held the ruler and looked at Jiang Rao's tearful face, but he couldn't bring himself to hit her.
Jiang Rao put her head on the ground, "Dad will understand his daughter's painstaking efforts sooner or later."
"Impossible." Fourth Master Jiang's face was in a shadow, his eyes full of stubbornness, and he said heavily, "As long as I live, I will not let you marry a prince. This is not my daughter's fate."
He strode out of the door, closed it and locked it. "Think about it carefully. Until you figure out what you should do, you are not allowed to leave this study."
Jiang Rao knocked his head to the ground and never raised it up.
Although she knew this would be the result, she still felt uncomfortable. Ever since she had dreamed that her family would encounter a disaster, her fear and the hardship and grievances she had always endured silently all flooded into her heart at this moment.
A tear on the cheek.
The pepper is too spicy, Jiang Rao thought.
…
Outside the study, Fourth Master Jiang, who had put his daughter in confinement for the first time, suppressed his anger and the pain in his heart. He lifted his foot and put it down again, and finally stepped out and walked out without looking back.
he
Her eyes were redder than Jiang Rao's in the study.
…
After Rong Ting was "politely" invited out of the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion by Fourth Master Jiang, he was refused entry. Fourth Master Jiang guarded the door strictly and he could not even approach the entrance of Wuyi Lane where the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion was located.
As for Jiang Rao, although she was locked up, she had everything she wanted, including good food and drink.
Her brother would come to see her secretly during the day.
When Jiang Jinxing heard that his sister was almost beaten with a ruler, he was so scared that he searched the study for the ruler, trying to steal it away secretly to prevent his sister from getting beaten.
Finally, two broken pieces of wood were found at the foot of the wall outside the study.
He took the two broken pieces of wood and sneaked into the study.
"Daddy broke it. He was afraid that he would get angry and really beat me." Jiang Rao was put in solitary confinement, but she couldn't get angry at Fourth Master Jiang. "You were able to come in because Daddy turned a blind eye."
Jiang Jinxing seemed to understand, "Then Daddy is not angry with Sister?"
"Angry."
Jiang Rao sighed, "It's my fault."
Unfortunately, she is not a boy and cannot achieve anything, so she can only use this method to protect her family.
In a few years, her father will know that she is right.
Just wait a little longer.
After Jiang Jin left, Jiang Rao opened a piece of paper in his hand.
Last night, Rong Ting sent Wu Que to hand her her favorite almond cakes and a storybook to relieve her boredom through the window.
Perhaps because it was wearing black clothes and a black face mask, the magpie looked taller and thinner than in the daytime, and a little different.
He stood in the night, silently in the courtyard outside the study for a long time.
The area outside the study was under strict guard, and no one knew how the magpie managed to sneak in.
Maybe his martial arts skills are really strong.
After being locked up for several days in a row, Rong Ting sent magpies to bring her things every day.
Yesterday she asked Wu Que to bring a letter to Rong Ting, asking him who Empress Jiahe wanted to marry him.
It's not okay to be locked up like this forever.
There was no news from Empress Jiahe about arranging a marriage for Rong Ting.
She wanted to ask him who the girl was that the queen wanted to marry him to.
Now that we know who it is, maybe we can think of other solutions.
Rong Ting's reply contained only half a line of poetry.
The withered flowers in the eastern suburbs reflect the light in front of the hall.
Jiang Rao frowned and turned the paper over, finding nothing on the back.
There is only this half sentence of poem on the thin piece of letter paper.
She read it silently several times, then suddenly paused, picked up the pen, let the ink soak into the paper, and covered the line of words so that no one could see them.
The withered flowers in the eastern suburbs are reflected in front of the hall.
It's a mystery.
Erdong Chen is the answer to the mystery.
Chen, Chen...
Chen Congyun?
At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.
Jiang Rao stood up quickly.
She looked at the person who came, a little surprised, "Dad."
She looked behind him, her eyes revealing a desire to get outside, "Are you coming to let me out?"
