He can't exactly have the young girl go with her to her wedding, can he? What would he do then?
Ertai has no idea that Chen Nian will actually go along, and will be spoiled rotten by Qing'er and her husband.
He often wished Ertai would take better control of the situation, because his wife was being monopolized by Chen Nian, which meant that even though he had a sweet and soft wife, he couldn't hold her and could only sleep alone in the study.
...
Qing'er: When faced with Niannian's tears, can you refuse her request?
"Qing'er, you can't run away with someone anymore. I... I'll find you the best man."
She truly disliked Xiao Jian, even if he were her... it wouldn't work. Xiao Jian was qualified as a disciple, but not as a husband. She wanted to end Xiao Jian's relationship with Qing'er; her precious Qing'er deserved better.
Her precious Qing'er deserves to live a life of luxury. Coarse clothes are not worthy of her Qing'er. Why should she lower Qing'er's quality of life because of Xiao Jian, and in the end, Qing'er has to do her own laundry, pick vegetables, and cook.
She couldn't accept it just thinking about it.
Qing'er, who was born into a privileged family and raised in luxury, should never have done those things.
The Empress Dowager poured her heart and soul into raising Qing'er according to the standards of a noble lady, not so that Qing'er would end up doing his laundry and cooking for Xiao Jian.
She couldn't accept it when she first watched the show, let alone witness it with her own eyes. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it and would end her life prematurely.
"Okay, okay, you find it for me, you find it for me, please stop crying, okay?"
Qing'er coaxed Shen Nian in a tone that was meant to soothe a child.
It doesn't matter who she chooses, as long as she's happy.
"Qing'er, let's not have Er Kang, okay? Er Kang is no good, he's not good enough for you."
"Niannian, don't worry, I won't choose Erkang. Just like you said, Erkang is not good enough for me. I want our Niannian to find me someone, okay?"
Qing'er was naturally inclined to be thoughtful, not to mention that she had already begun to let go of Er Kang back during the Ghost Festival. Since their feelings for each other were not deep to begin with, letting go was easy for her. She no longer had any feelings for Er Kang.
Furthermore, given that Erkang accused her of wrongdoing without any investigation, she would never have chosen Erkang.
"Okay, I'll find you the best one."
Chen Nian buried his head in Qing'er's chest and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Give me a kiss."
Thinking of something, she poked her head out of Qing'er's embrace, looked up at Qing'er with a wronged expression. In the past, she was always the one who took the initiative to kiss Qing'er, and Qing'er had never taken the initiative to kiss her.
"Okay, bring your face closer."
Knowing that Shen Nian was in a bad mood, Qing'er let him have his way, and she never refused any of Shen Nian's requests.
Hearing from beginning to end, Ertai, who was standing outside the door, finally couldn't stand it anymore when he heard Chen Nian's request and that Qing'er actually agreed to it...
"Knock knock knock—"
Ertai raised his hand and knocked on the door.
He had no opinion on Shen Nian's comment that his brother was not good enough for Qing'er. His principle was that whatever Shen Nian said was right.
He just desperately wanted someone to take Qing'er away; he couldn't stand the two of them doing this every day!
His sweetheart was kissed by someone else, and he was jealous. Even though Qing'er was a girl, he still felt a pang of jealousy.
He didn't even...
Qing'er, who was just a hair's breadth away from kissing Shen Nian's face, and Shen Nian, who was tilting his head and waiting for Qing'er to kiss him, both stopped in their tracks.
The two looked up in confusion, simultaneously glancing towards the doorway, and mouthed, "Who is it?"
Both of them shook their heads in unison.
They've already had dinner, so why would anyone come looking for them?
Who is it?
Chen Nian cleared her throat; her voice was soft and delicate, but still slightly hoarse from crying so hard earlier.
"It's me."
