"That's because you're still young. When you grow up a bit, you'll look like your uncle," Jiang Yun said with a smile. She and her brothers all looked somewhat alike.
However, her brothers were rather rugged, while she was much more refined.
"I still hope to look like my brother."
Ning Anuo said with a hint of disappointment.
However, it's obvious that this is impossible.
They are not biological brothers, which is why Mingzhi might look like his brother.
Thinking of this, Ning Anuo glanced at Mingzhi with a deep look.
Never mind, he doesn't even look like him.
Mingzhi's hand holding the tea trembled slightly.
I felt a chill creeping over me.
"Is this what it means to have a lot of money?"
Jiang Yun grabbed Qian Duo's hand.
After Mingzhi returned, he also told her about Qian Duo.
Although Jiang Yun was somewhat dissatisfied, she had no right to say anything.
This child was raised by his older brother and grandmother.
For him, his older brother and grandmother are the most important people. Besides, he heard that Anuo really likes money, and that alone is enough.
"Hello, I—I don't know how to address you."
Qian Duo felt a little constrained.
She just kept shouting along with Anuo.
Calling Ning "Grandma" means she is still a grandma, but calling Ning Hong "brother" means she is a brother.
After all, we're from the same village, we see each other all the time.
Calling someone "grandma" or "brother" is perfectly normal.
But at this moment, facing such a noble and beautiful middle-aged woman, she didn't know what to call her. She just couldn't bring herself to say "Auntie."
If we call her Lady Hou, wouldn't that seem a bit distant?
"Just call her 'Mother' and that will be fine."
Ning Anuo patted Qian Duo on the shoulder. "You're my wife, so naturally you have to call me that too."
"Yes, just call her 'Mom'."
Jiang Yun also said with a smile.
This approachable manner somewhat eased Qian Duo's anxiety. She had been very worried that the Lady of the Marquis would look down on her—
Jiang Yun's reaction was exactly what Ning Hongze had expected.
Jiang Yun already felt indebted to Ning Anuo. Furthermore, her favoritism towards Mingzhi, giving him the title of heir apparent, likely amplified her guilt towards Anuo.
As long as it's not something particularly difficult, Madam Jiang will agree.
When they arrived in the capital, winter had already begun.
It had just snowed heavily that day.
Everything was covered in a layer of white.
Ice crystals hang from the trees, and snow stretches for miles.
The scenery is completely different from that of Dashan Village.
Whether it was Ning Anuo, Qian Duo, or even Grandma Ning, they were all engrossed in watching.
Ning Hongze's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Cha, who was standing on the snow.
“Acha—”
He shouted.
The smile was faint and gentle, yet in an instant, it shattered the defenses that Jiang Cha had painstakingly built up.
Jiang Cha felt her eyes well up with tears instantly.
It had only been a little over two months, but she felt like she had been waiting for this call for a very, very long time—
"You've arrived?"
“Hmm.” Ning Hong quickly stepped forward and walked to Jiang Cha’s side.
"Do you have the courage to propose to my father?"
"Of course, I originally wanted to establish myself in some way before proposing marriage, but you're not getting any younger. Thinking about it, it's best to propose as soon as possible. Otherwise, if someone else beats me to it, I'll be devastated—"
"·····"
That doesn't sound wrong, right? But why is she so unhappy about it?
Seeing that Jiang Cha's expression was a little stiff, Ning Hong suddenly grabbed her hand, "However, in my heart, you will always be the youngest."
It's a pity this is ancient times. If this were modern times, he would definitely lean over and give her a kiss.
Now—if I were to kiss her, I'd probably be thrown out by the Lady of the Marquis as a dissolute.
Ning Hong thought to herself.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Jiang Cha had a blank face, seemingly not caring at all, but her ears were burning red.
Jiang Yun: "..."
Is her niece falling for the eldest son of the Ning family?
"you?"
"We have pledged our lives to each other."
Jiang Cha spoke first.
“That’s ridiculous. At the very least, the proper rites and marriage ceremony should be followed. The Jiang family isn’t the kind of people who do things so casually.” Jiang Yun coughed lightly. “Acha, you should go back first.”
"Aunt, I have only just arrived in the capital."
It's been so long since we last met.
She misses him so much—
Jiang Cha looked at Jiang Yun with a wronged expression.
"Go back first, otherwise your parents will definitely blame me."
Jiang Yun said somewhat awkwardly, after all, it was she who asked Jiang Cha to make the trip.
She never expected that Ah Cha would fall for the country boy after her trip.
If her sister-in-law found out, she'd probably come rushing over with a broom and beat her up.
"I--"
That's true. Her father is alright, but her mother will definitely be very angry.
"Then you should go back first. Don't worry, it won't be long before I personally come to propose marriage."
Ning Hong then spoke up.
"real?"
“Of course it’s true,” Ning Hong assured her. “And your father will definitely agree to let you marry me.”
"——"
So confident?
Jiang Yun and Jiang Cha both raised their eyebrows; their brother and father weren't so easy to talk to.
"My uncle is difficult to talk to."
Moreover, Brother Hongze has nothing, so persuading his uncle to marry Acha to Brother Hongze is not an easy task.
