Chapter 157: Love in the Ancient Planes, Love Brain Opens 17.

Jiang Lan, who had done great things in Lizhou Prefecture, hid his merits and fame and returned to the Jiang family quietly.

Before Yuan Qingci had time to find Jiang Lan to discuss the countermeasures for going to the capital, the servants of the Shi Mansion came to Qingshan Village and asked for him.

It is said that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, and the personal servant of the fourth-rank prefect is also a not-so-small official.

When he saw Yuan Qingci, this person looked arrogant and said in a commanding tone: "Mr. Yuan Ju, our master has a request. If it is convenient for you, I will take you there directly now."

Mrs. Lu thought it was a great thing, and kept urging behind him: "Qingci, don't delay the master's time, you should go quickly."

The villagers next door also came out, looking at the big carriage of the Shi Mansion with envious expressions.

Yuan Qingci had no choice but to get in the car. Before leaving, he earnestly asked Mrs. Lu to tell Jiang Lan about his visit to Shi Mansion.

The carriage drove slowly out of the village, but Mrs. Lu didn't take it to heart at all. When

Yuan Qingci saw Shi Haochan again, his mood was completely different.

Now he no longer had the awe he had before, and his heart was filled with only disgust.

Shi Haochan was still the same, with a standard fake smile, and greeted Yuan Qingci affectionately.

"Qingci, don't be shy, sit down. Don't be polite, just treat me as your elder, and let's just chat like ordinary people."

Yuan Qingci nodded, chose a seat and sat down.

"Qingci, I'm sorry to ask you to come over. Are you not unhappy?"

Yuan Qingci looked cold and answered irrelevantly, "The affairs of the adults are naturally more important."

Shi Hao smiled hesitantly and got straight to the point.

"I mentioned to you last time that I have a little girl at home who is of marriageable age."

"The student has already been engaged, so I dare not have any more thoughts." Yuan Qingci lowered his head and replied in a deep voice.

Shi Hao laughed hesitantly. He almost believed that Yuan Qingci was not daring to marry

someone above his station. "Qingci, why should you be so modest? I think you are a man at such a young age, and your future is limitless. It's a pity to marry a peasant girl. My daughter has been studying poetry since she was a child, and she is the best match for you."

Yuan Qingci's mouth twitched, and he refused again. He didn't dare to want such a woman.

"Sir, I am not worthy of your lady. I already have someone I love deeply in my heart. If I marry the lady, it will not be fair to her."

"Love between children is long-lasting. How long can it last? You have never been with my daughter, how do you know that you two are not suitable?"

Shi Hao walked in front of Yuan Qingci and patted his shoulder.

"We are all men, who doesn't love beauty? But beauty is not as important as future? There are so many beauties in the world, it's so boring to stick to one person."

Yuan Qingci was unmoved and spoke in an especially firm tone.

"There are thousands of women in the world, but I, Yuan Qingci, only love one person. No matter how beautiful and good others are, there will naturally be better people to match them. I dare not take all the benefits in the world."

Shi Hao's face changed slightly, his voice became louder, and there was a bit of threat in his words.

"Have you thought it through? Could it be that the apple of my eye is not as good as the daughter of a pig butcher?"

"I have thought it through!" Yuan Qingci answered very affirmatively.

"No matter how good others are, they are still others. There is only one person in my heart."

Shi Haoqian heard this and his face changed completely. He raised his voice to the maximum and scolded: "Yuan Qingci, I advise you not to be ignorant!"

The person in front of him finally showed his true face. Yuan Qingci felt relieved. He was tired of playing tricks like this.

"Sir, marriage is to make two families friendly, not to make enemies."

Shi Haoqian didn't want to listen to this. The superiors never care about what others say.

"I tell you, it is your blessing that my daughter likes you. You have to marry her whether you want to or not! Today, I appreciate your talent and talk to you kindly. If you don't know how to behave, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Sir..." Yuan Qingci wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shi Hao.

"Huaian, send Yuan Ju to the guest room."

"Yes, sir." Huai'an came in with a sinister smile, "Yuan Ju, please come this way."

Yuan Qingci followed quietly without saying anything.

"Humph, let's see how long you can hold on." Shi Hao snorted coldly.

Yuan Qingci was imprisoned in the guest room of Shi's mansion, and the door of his room was directly locked.

Except for the person who delivered meals every day, no one paid any attention to him the rest of the time.

Now all his hopes were pinned on Jiang Lan, but unfortunately he had waited for 2 days and still could not see any sign of her.

Was he going to die here?

Yuan Qingci sighed. In his previous life, Yuan Qingci was defeated by Shi and King Xuan.

Was he going to go back to the same old path now?

On the third day, Yuan Qingci still did not wait for Jiang Lan. Instead, Shi An'er came and asked him if he wanted to marry her.

After being rejected again, Shi An'er was completely annoyed and asked the people in the mansion to stop feeding Yuan Qingci and at most send him some water.

Yuan Qingci did not eat for a day. Just when he was in despair, he finally saw the person he had been thinking about day and night.

He almost thought he was going to die, and hallucinations appeared before his eyes.

"Brother, look how thin you have become? So pitiful."

Yuan Qingci was embarrassed. Could he not speak with a teasing tone?

And could he be a little more serious and not smile so happily.

"Why are you still angry?"

Jiang Lan put away his smile and took out some dry food from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Your mother is so unreliable. She told me the truth in a panic two days after you were taken away. If she had told me a few days later, you would have starved to death here."

Yuan Qingci was a little hungry. He wolfed down the dry steamed bun and had no time to talk.

Jiang Lan poured him a glass of water, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

After eating three steamed buns in a row, Yuan Qingci felt that he was really alive.

"Do you want more?"

Yuan Qingci shook his head, "No, we have to find a way to get out now."

"I thought about it when I came here." Jiang Lan rationally proposed his own plan.

"I can take you away, but this kind of thing will happen again in the future. The way to solve it once and for all is to make a big deal out of it. After all, you are also a man of honor. It's just that it's not good to bear the reputation of being robbed."

Jiang Lan has given Yuan Qingci the right to choose, but he also knows that, as she said.

After escaping, it is very likely that he will be caught again, and even if he escapes to other places, there is a possibility that he will be caught again.

"Sister Lan Lan, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you say!"

Yuan Qingci made up his mind. "In broad daylight, I don't believe Shi Haochan can still cover the sky with one hand."

Jiang Lan nodded, "Come closer... My plan is..."

After listening to Yuan Qingci, his face turned red and blue, and finally nodded.
