"That's right. I heard that Miss Tu is also extremely beautiful, like a goddess descended to earth. Only someone like her is worthy of our Duke Dingguo."
"I say, have you forgotten that she was previously engaged to be Master Pei's adopted son?"
"He was just an adopted son. Even God felt that he was not worthy of her, which is why her marriage ended in vain."
"This doesn't seem to be a question of whether it's suitable or not, this is..."
"Oh, what do you want to say? Don't you want Master Pei and Miss Tu to be together?"
"Yeah, do you want us to be invaded by evil spirits in the future?"
"That's right, stop talking about these nonsense. If anything goes wrong in the future, it will all be your fault."
…
"No, I'm saying you're too excited. It seems that Miss Tu and Master Pei have no intersection."
"Yes, ever since the Pei and Tu families broke off their engagement, I heard that Master Pei and Master Tu haven't met in private."
"Everyone on the street is talking about it so loudly, as if they are going to get married, but what if they don't want to?"
…
Everyone was horrified to find out that the hero and heroine in this story almost became father-in-law and daughter-in-law in the past.
It seems that they will not be able to get married and have children as smoothly as they wish.
No one doubted Master Wuliang's words, because he was a truly enlightened monk who had accurately predicted the life and death of a ruler of an enemy country.
Because of his prophecy, the people of an entire city escaped the ravages of the plague.
It can be said that here, what he said was more convincing to the people than what the emperor said.
If Master Wuliang had not expressed long ago that he had a mind that transcended the three realms and had abilities that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, the royal family would have long since stopped accepting him.
Although I am still wary now, that’s all I can do.
After all, the late emperor had thought of getting rid of him, but as soon as the court had such an idea, Master Wuliang would go out and travel, and no one would be able to find him.
On the third day after the prophecy appeared, Pei Jian did not move, and the Tu family had no explanation, so the people were anxious.
Not to mention the common people, even some officials in the court were getting anxious.
They submitted letters one by one asking to see Pei Jian, but Pei Jian refused to see them.
Only a few people understood the truth of the matter.
Among them was the Queen Mother.
Princess De'an hurried over, "Sister-in-law, it's been three days, and Master Pei still hasn't shown up. How about you go and persuade him?"
"And the little girl from the Tu family, if she dislikes Lord Pei's age, we should just reward her more." She suggested anxiously, "How about giving her the title of County Princess? If that doesn't work, then a Princess will also be fine."
It can't be true as Master Wuliang said, that if the two people don't get married, evil spirits will invade the dynasty in thirty years and no human power can stop it.
By then, all lives will be lost and it will be too late, right?
The Queen Mother curled her lips and said, "No need, he will go and propose marriage."
Isn't the purpose of doing this to prevent the little girl from being criticized in any bad way?
She remembered what she said to Pei Jian that night and suddenly found it ridiculous.
Maybe it was I who reminded Pei Jian.
"Ah?" Princess De'an's eyes were clear. "Master Pei hasn't married in over thirty years. Even the late Madam Pei wouldn't let him get married. Will he compromise because of Master Wuliang's irrelevant words?"
Even though Master Wuliang is a true master, and even though Lord Pei and Master Wuliang seem to be good friends.
But judging from Lord Pei's temperament, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would compromise because of these things.
The Queen Mother's lips twitched. "Do you also think that Master Wuliang's statement is irrelevant?"
"Yes, but my dear sister-in-law, Master Wuliang's words about evacuating a whole city were even more ridiculous, but that time he saved an entire city."
The Queen Mother paused. Yes, this was Pei Jian’s brilliance.
Let Master Wuliang say it, no one in the world will doubt it.
She sighed deeply, "Don't worry, he will agree."
Forget it, it's time to let it go. Hadn't she thought about it a long time ago? It's better for him to get married and have children than to live alone until the end of his life.
But no matter how much I tried to persuade myself, it still hurt to see him trying so hard to marry someone else.
On the same day, the eldest daughter of the Liang family got engaged to Yu Jingyuan.
Tu Qingyu: "So fast?"
Dabao: "Pei Jian has taken action."
What happened that day was quickly investigated thanks to Pei Jian's intervention.
Liang Yue is the eldest daughter of the Liang family. The Madam Liang who appeared that day was the one whom Lord Liang married later.
What happened that day was instigated by Mrs. Liang, whose purpose was to make Liang Yue have physical contact with a farmer.
If Yu Jingyuan hadn't been there that day, Liang Yue's best outcome would have been to marry far away and marry a man of low status. At worst, she would have been exposed by Madam Liang and schemed against by her, and would have faced the situation of either marrying a farmer with ulterior motives or having her hair cut off and becoming a nun.
The Liang family would certainly not allow their eldest daughter to marry a farmer. After all, the other women in the Liang family still had to get married.
This matter was brought to the attention of the government, and Liang's father felt ashamed, but Pei Jian had taken action, and he couldn't let the matter go.
So Mrs. Liang was sent to the farm.
Another day, the people gathered at the gate of Pei's house, hoping that Pei Jian would go to the Tu family to propose marriage.
Pei Kangsheng looked at the people outside with an ugly expression, "I think they are really crazy. Tu Qingyu was originally my fiancée, how could she remarry my father? My father would never agree!"
The butler who passed by him and knew the truth smiled but said nothing.
"Hey, Uncle Wen, you should think of a way. They are always blocking me here. How can I get out?"
Uncle Wen looked towards the main courtyard and replied calmly, "Soon."
It should be ready once you have counted the betrothal gifts. There are simply too many things in the warehouse, and there are too many things you want to give.
Pei Kangsheng didn't understand what he meant by "soon". Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he returned to his yard angrily.
This wait lasted until the next day.
It was already the fifth day, and everyone saw that there was no movement at the Pei and Tu Mansions.
Master Wuliang also said that the sooner the marriage takes place, the better. Otherwise, there might not be enough luck to protect the dynasty.
So on the morning of the fifth day, someone knelt at the door of Pei's house.
They are still relatively reasonable and feel that in such matters, the man needs to express his opinion first.
If Pei Jian goes to propose marriage and the Tu family does not agree, he will go to the Tu family to ask for help again.
Pei Jian opened the door of his mansion after learning that some people had been kneeling at his door for an hour.
As soon as the door opened, everyone knelt and bowed loudly: "We pay our respects to you, sir. We beg you to listen to Master Wuliang's words and marry Miss Tu."
"Please, sir, marry Miss Tu!"
