But Xia Hongwei was really stubborn. From then on, he stopped sending brown sugar and sent something different every day.
There is everything you need to eat, wear and use.
Even Xiangyun's maid said that Mr. Xia was a good man, but unexpectedly she was criticized by Xiangyun.
Xiangyun knew very well that Mr. Xia was a good man, just like the white moonlight in her heart, and she could not drag him into the swamp.
They went on like this for half a year, and occasionally the two of them would chat, one inside the wall and the other outside.
Xia Manni knew about this situation, for no other reason than that Xia Hongwei couldn't hide the truth.
She found out when Xiangyun didn't allow her to send brown sugar.
Xia Manni was so angry that she gave Xia Hongwei a lecture and asked the prince to give Xia Hongwei some basic knowledge about gender relations.
Xia Manni and Zheng Yi both think that Xia Hongwei has fallen in love with Xiangyun, but Xia Hongwei himself does not think so. He thinks he is just helping the weak and suppressing the strong.
Until one day, Xia Manni called Xia Hongwei over. It turned out that he was going to Xiangyun to deliver something.
Xia Manni sighed and said, "Don't go see Xiangyun again from today."
"Why?" Xia Hongwei's voice became much louder with anxiety.
"She's engaged."
"What? Impossible."
He hadn't visited Xiangyun for two days, and she would definitely tell him about her engagement.
So he asked anxiously: "Were you coerced?"
According to his understanding, those people would definitely bully Xiangyun.
"No, I heard that she agreed after seeing each other."
The hall fell silent. After a while, Xia Hongwei asked, "Who is it?"
Xia Manni reacted for a moment, then said, "He's just the son of a merchant, his family doesn't hold an official position...where are you going?"
Before Xia Manni could finish her words, Xia Hongwei had already run out. It was obvious what he was going to do.
"Let him go by himself. No need to find anyone to follow him."
Zheng Yi walked out, put his arm around Xia Manni's shoulders, and told her to be more open-minded.
Others may not know, but Zheng Yi knows that Xia Manni is the one who is most worried about Xia Hongwei and Xia Lingxuan.
But matters of the heart are not something others can interfere with.
When Xia Hongwei found Xiangyun, she was boating on the lake with that man.
When Xiangyun saw the embarrassed Xia Hongwei, she knew that this day would come sooner or later.
"Sir, let's stop here today. This is the second son of the prince's mansion and my good friend. He wants to see me for something urgent."
"Oh, hello, Second Young Master. If you have something urgent to say, please talk to Xiangyun first."
That person was also able to see things clearly, mainly because the second young master's face was really scary.
After Xia Hongwei watched the man leave, he directly pulled Xiangyun onto a boat.
Xiangyun did not refute. She knew that she was absolutely safe with Xia Hongwei.
After the two of them sat down, Xiangyun waited for Xia Hongwei to speak first.
Xia Hongwei said angrily, "Were you forced by your family?"
Xiangyun shook her head. "No, I chose it myself."
"Why?"
"What why?"
"Why choose him? Why are you in such a hurry to get married?"
Xiangyun didn't get angry but smiled and said, "I'm fourteen years old now, and it's time to get married."
"At that age? Aren't you trying to take this opportunity to escape? Do you really have feelings for him?"
"Haha, that's right. This is my only chance to escape. He's at least better than the one my lady chose for me."
Xia Hongwei didn't expect Xiangyun to answer so straightforwardly. He felt distressed and angry.
"You can't degrade yourself!"
Xiangyun's face suddenly darkened. "Mr. Xia, although you have helped me, please do not dictate my life. Goodbye."
Xia Hongwei immediately grabbed Xiangyun's hand and forced himself to suppress the urge to beat the man.
"Do you have to get married?"
Xiangyun couldn't break free and could only say coldly, "Yes."
"Must I marry him?"
Xiangyun was a little speechless. She glanced at Xia Hongwei without caring about her image, "What else?"
She also didn't know why Xia Hongwei was so persistent about this matter.
"If you have to marry, marry me."
…
Xiangyun no longer remembers how she got home, she just feels a little confused.
After returning home, Xia Hongwei went straight to look for Xia Manni and Zheng Yi, who were looking after the children at the time.
"Mom, I want to marry Xiangyun."
Xia Manni: ...
Zheng Yi: ...
It would be fine if he just wanted to get married, but the key point is that he is already engaged.
Therefore, Xia Manni organized her family to hold an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the situation.
In the end, the third son of the Xia family took on everything, because he was only twelve years old and had already had good connections with wealthy businessmen in the capital because he failed the imperial examination.
Xia Hongwei went to see the wealthy businessman's son alone. After they talked it out, Xia Hongwei said he wanted to confirm it with Xiangyun.
Xiangyun didn't expect Xia Hongwei to be serious. She had another chat with Xia Hongwei before meeting the rich businessman's son.
"Do you know what it means to be married?"
Through her understanding of Xia Hongwei over these days, she knew that although he looked rough, he had a very simple mind.
"I know, just like the prince and princess."
"But there is affection between the prince and the princess."
"We have feelings for each other, I like you, and I want to grow old with you like the prince and princess."
Xiangyun was confused by Xia Hongwei's straightforwardness and finally had to believe what Xia Hongwei said.
Later, the prince and princess came in person with gifts to propose marriage, and Xiangyun realized that Xia Hongwei was serious.
The man she was engaged to also agreed to cancel the engagement, and Xiangyun didn't know how much the palace had done in the meantime.
She only knew that she had hope for her own life.
A year later, Xia Hongda got married, and not long after that, Xia Hongwei also got married.
Xiangyun originally planned to be filial to the prince and princess and cooperate with her eldest sister-in-law, but she didn't expect that life in the prince's mansion would be so simple.
That was the kind of care she had never experienced since she was a child. She felt that her greatest luck was meeting Xia Hongwei.
Xia Hongwei did not expect that he would fall into the hands of a noble lady who was full of rules.
