But...Butler?
After all, we have proposed marriage to the girl's family, and they just sent a steward. Who are they responding to?
Besides, look at the scattered gifts placed in this hall. Jiang Xueying is also a person who has seen good things. Looking at these things, she naturally knows how neglectful the other party is. Their noses are almost turned up to the sky, as if they don’t take Mr. Chen’s family seriously. Who are they showing such arrogance to?
Or is it just to show how superior their family is?
At that moment, Jiang Xueying had a very bad impression of these people, and she was increasingly confused as to why Mr. Chen, who loved his daughter so much, had arranged such a marriage for Chen Simin?
Now their attitude towards proposing marriage is so nonchalant, what good life can Chen Simin have even if she marries him?
Mr. Chen had just said a few words of greeting when the other party became impatient and kept waving his hands.
"Alright, alright, I'm not here to listen to your nonsense today. Anyway, I'm here to propose marriage today. My master hopes to complete the marriage as soon as possible and let Miss Chen marry into the family. It will only take a few days. Your Chen family should prepare as soon as possible."
Mr. Chen was a little surprised when he heard this. This caught him off guard. He must have thought that things were not going as he expected.
"This...it's only been a few days, why are you suddenly so anxious?"
Jiang Xueying was also puzzled. Why was the marriage so urgent?
Then, the other party said with a look of disdain: "Of course it's for my son. My son is seriously ill now, how can we afford to delay the wedding for too long? The most important thing is to marry Miss Chen to him. My master's family is powerful and influential, and now they are also well-known figures in the capital. Marrying my son is a good marriage that many people want but cannot get. If the son was not ill now, how could this blessing fall on you? You are not grateful, hurry up and get married!"
What? Chongxi? What does Chongxi mean?
Jiang Xueying heard this word in a daze, thinking that she had heard it wrong or the other party had said it wrong.
It’s a good thing to bring good luck to their young master, and let them be grateful and marry their daughter to him quickly?
Is this steward mentally ill? Where does he get such confidence and courage? What do they think of the Chen family and Simin?
A good girl is only worthy of marrying a sickly and uncertain young man for the sake of getting married? This is such a feudal custom!
If something happened to that young man, wouldn't Chen Simin, a young woman, be left a widow?
Jiang Xueying's face darkened when she heard what the other party said. There should be a limit to how these powerful people treat ordinary people as human beings.
Mr. Chen's face looked very bad, and his hands hanging by his side gradually tightened. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.
"This...you...how could you do this? At the beginning..."
But he seemed to be hesitating about something and could only suppress his anger. There were many words that he couldn't say even when they came to his lips, and he didn't dare to really break off relations with the person in front of him.
Jiang Xueying naturally didn't understand. The other party had already made it clear that his daughter would go to the wedding to get married or even become a widow. Why did Master Chen have such an attitude? Could it be that Chen Simin's happiness was really not as good as the Chen family's wealth and prosperity? Did he really want to watch Chen Simin marry into such a family?
At this moment, before Jiang Xueying and Mr. Chen could respond, an unexpected person rushed in.
"You bastards! I knew you had bad intentions. You wanted me to marry your sick son and live a widow's life. Bah, don't even think about it. Get out of here!"
It turned out that Chen Simin had somehow broken free from the maid's restraints and ran out, holding a tall broom in her hand and with her hands on her hips, she looked at the other party's marriage proposals angrily, swearing at them and ordering them to leave. Because she was weak, she stopped from time to time to catch her breath.
"Simin!"
“Minmin!”
Jiang Xueying and Mr. Chen were both stunned by the sudden appearance of Chen Simin, and almost stopped him in unison.
The rest of the people were also frightened. The most frightened ones were the steward's servants who came to propose marriage. They were almost beaten by this shrew with a broom.
Steward Ma patted his heart in shock, thinking that as a chief steward, how could he have suffered such an injustice?
After his eyes moved between Chen Simin and Jiang Xueying, and then looked at Master Chen who was grabbing the shrew in panic, Manager Ma quickly reacted and a sneer appeared on his lips.
When Jiang Xueying saw the look on Manager Ma's face, she secretly sighed inwardly that something was not right, but there was no way to stop it.
"Okay, okay, Master Chen, you are so brave. Today we have prepared all the formalities and come to propose marriage, but you actually let a fake Miss Chen come to perfunctorily deal with us. Is this your attitude towards your future in-laws? Do you still take my master's family seriously? Do you still have the intention of concluding this marriage?"
Manager Ma glared at Master Chen fiercely and accused him loudly, he was so angry about the beating he almost got just now.
"Master Chen, please don't forget how important this marriage is to you. If our wife knew what Master Chen did, I'm afraid..."
"No, Manager Ma, things are not what you think. This...Manager Ma, please listen to me. I have my own difficulties..."
Mr. Chen did not expect things to turn out like this. Seeing that Manager Ma was angry, he became very humble and kowtowing to them to try to explain.
But Manager Ma was rude and ignored his explanation.
"Master Chen, you don't need to say more. Today you were so bold as to let someone pretend to be a real daughter to meet guests. Next time, are you going to just give my young master a random woman to be his wife? Our young master is such a person. It's your blessing that he likes your Chen family. Not just any cat or dog can bring happiness to my young master. You don't know how to appreciate your blessings. You even let this woman with unknown background pretend to be a real daughter to fool us. Do you really think we are easy to bully?"
The steward slammed the table angrily and looked at Mr. Chen with sharp eyes. He took the initiative to put the blame on the Chen family.
Seeing that the other party still had this attitude, Chen Simin couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up immediately.
"Humph! Who do you think you are? Don't act like my Chen family cares about you. Let me tell you, my Chen family doesn't care about this marriage. Whoever wants it can have it. Whoever wants to marry that sickly woman can go. My Chen family doesn't like this marriage. You should leave here quickly. I, Chen Simin, will not marry your noble young master!"
Chen Simin had wanted to talk things out for a long time, so she responded frankly, even making some merciless sarcasm. She didn't want wealth and glory at all.
