Chapter 523: Saying to Marry Her in Front of Everyone Shocked Everyone

Seeing Jun Wuxian was so serious, Xu Changfeng also replied seriously: "I heard from my sister that she had eaten it. Does Mr. Jun have any questions?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Jun Wuxian's eyes. He was able to guess the riddle only because Xiaojiu told him that there was indeed no such fruit as strawberry in Daxia. How could Xu Qingqing have ever eaten it?

Just when everyone was puzzled, three gongs sounded on the stage, indicating the end of this round of lantern guessing.

The organizer's representative smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to this gentleman, the answer is correct."

After that, he said to the assistant beside him: "Bring the prize over here."

The assistant handed two blessing lanterns to Jun Wuxian.

The representative of the organizer came over with a token and said in a gentle voice, "This is the token to enter the Evening Breeze Villa. You can enter the villa with this token."

Jun Wuxian held the blessing lantern in one hand and stretched out his other hand to take the token. The token was made of wood, finely crafted, and had the words "Evening Breeze" engraved on it.

The lantern-guessing game was over, and everyone, both on and off the stage, was sighing.

"The top scholar actually guessed every riddle."

"Isn't it? That young man has an extraordinary demeanor and guesses the lantern riddles calmly and with ease."

"Isn't this number one scholar a bit too much?"

Xu Changfeng didn't care about winning or losing, he just wanted to win. Even though he didn't get the chance to go on a one-day trip to Evening Breeze Villa, getting the blessing lantern was also good, and it would make his sister happy.

Now that Young Master Jun has got it, he will definitely give it to his sister. As long as his goal is achieved, that's enough.

Du Zhiheng, on the other hand, looked unhappy when he heard everyone's discussions. He was the newly promoted top scholar, but he was defeated by a stranger. He lost face and couldn't get off the stage.

When Xu Qingqing saw that Jun Wuxian had won, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up into a beautiful arc. She glanced at Cao Yanran, threw away the handkerchief in her hand, and laughed out loud: "Ms. Cao, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Your fiancé lost."

Cao Yanran no longer had the proud look she had just now. When she saw Du Zhiheng lost, her expression immediately turned very ugly. When she heard Xu Qingqing's sarcastic remarks, she could no longer pretend.

"Why are you so happy? He is a noble and well-educated young master, and he doesn't look down on an ugly person like you. He is really brave that he is not scared away by your face."

Jun Wuxian walked over with a faint smile on his face, and stood in front of Xu Qingqing. He handed the bully lantern and token in his hand to her, "Qingqing, this is for you."

Xu Qingqing originally wanted to give Cao Yanran a good beating, but when she saw Jun Wuxian walking towards her, she had no time to care about others. She was a little nervous. She hadn't seen him for more than a month, and he suddenly appeared again. She was nervous, but also very happy.

She almost burst into tears of joy when she saw him present the prize to her.

Xu Qingqing was not a hypocritical person. When Jun Wuxian said he would give it to her, she accepted it.

"You are amazing. You guessed all the difficult lantern riddles correctly."

Jun Wuxian felt that Xu Qingqing's words were getting sweeter and sweeter, almost catching up with Xiaojiu. He tapped her head lightly with the folding fan in his hand, "Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter."

Xu Qingqing looked at the lantern and token in her hand. Hearing this, she raised her head and looked at Jun Wuxian. When she met those gentle eyes, all her previous efforts were in vain.

She had previously thought that it was impossible for her to be without envy of Jun, and that it would be fine if they were just friends.

Now, she felt that she still couldn't treat him as just a friend.

Cao Yanran, who was standing by, was shocked when she saw this scene. It turned out that this young man was not familiar with Xu Qingqing. Not only that, but he actually treated Xu Qingqing very well?

Could it be that this young man doesn't know that Xu Qingqing's face was disfigured?

Jun Wuxian smiled when he saw her reaction, then he retracted his gaze to look at Cao Yanran beside him, and the smile in his eyes disappeared.

"As a woman, you don't show sympathy but instead speak ill of me. Qingqing only has two scars on her face. Compared to your vicious and maggoty heart, you are even more disgusting and make people avoid you."

Cao Yanran was stunned when she heard this. How could she have been accused and insulted like this before? Was it because of that ugly Xu Qingqing?

This was as embarrassing as the situation of the number one scholar when he guessed the lantern riddle.

When Du Zhiheng came over at this time, he originally wanted to leave directly, but Cao Yanran was his fiancée after all, and also the legitimate daughter of Duke Cao, so he came over without caring about his face and wanted to take her with him.

"Yanran, let's go."

Cao Yanran also wanted to leave, but she was a little unwilling to endure being scolded like that.

She glanced at Xu Qingqing, who was holding the prize and smiling smugly. She snorted, "Since the young master doesn't care about appearance, then marry Xu Qingqing. Only by marrying her will I believe that the young master really doesn't care about appearance, but the heart."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqing first glanced at Jun Wuxian. Cao Yanran said this just to embarrass Jun Wuxian. She was afraid that Jun Wuxian would be embarrassed, and she was also afraid that because of this incident, they would no longer even be friends in the future.

When she looked at Cao Yanran, she said coldly: "Mr. Jun and I are good friends. How can friends care about appearance? Miss Cao is so coercive and has such a vicious mind. The number one scholar really dares to marry her."

Cao Yanran was already angry, and Xu Qingqing's words were like adding fuel to the fire, making it burn more and more fiercely.

"Xu Qingqing, what do you mean by saying this? No one wants you when you are disfigured, and you still want to discredit me, right? Looking at the entire capital, which noble son is willing to marry an ugly woman like you?"

Ever since Xu Qingqing's disfigurement, she knew that no man would be willing to marry a disfigured woman, and she had long been prepared not to get married.

However, when Cao Yanran said this, she still felt a little sad.

The sad thing is not that I am not willing to marry her.

But...

Jun Wuxian looked at Cao Yanran coldly. She was an ugly weirdo whether she opened her mouth or closed it. Although Xu Qingqing had a scar on her face, she was not an ugly weirdo at all.

"I will marry her, no need to bother with it."

When these words were spoken, everyone around was stunned.

Cao Yanran looked at Jun Wuxian in surprise, suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears. Xu Qingqing was disfigured, but he was still willing to marry her?

Du Zhiheng was also surprised. As a man, he knew men too well. Which man would be willing to marry an ugly woman?

Xu Qingqing was more shocked than any of them. Jun Wuxian actually said he wanted to marry her? He had said in person that he would not marry an ugly woman.

She stared at Jun Wuxian without blinking, but from his calm expression, she couldn't tell whether he was joking or what he really meant.

But soon, she realized that Jun Wuxian probably didn't want to be bullied because of her appearance.

It is said that a talented man and a beautiful woman are a perfect match. At this time, Jun Wuxian did not dislike Xu Qingqing's face and was willing to propose to her. Some people are envious and some are jealous.

Cao Yanran was pulled away by Du Zhiheng. Instead of competing with him for victory or defeat, it would be better to leave and avoid being laughed at.

Seeing that Jun Wuxian was accompanying his sister, Xu Changfeng did not go up to disturb them. He bought some snacks and ate them aside, intending to go back and report after he finished eating.

As a result, I heard Jun Wuxian declare that he wanted to marry my sister. I was shocked at first, and then I was delighted.

Finally, someone was willing to marry my sister, and the man she loved was her favorite.

Xu Changfeng finished the food in his hand in two or three bites, and then rushed home to report the good news.

The general's wife was drinking tea in the living room. When she saw her little son rushing in, she whispered, "How old are you? You should be more steady in your behavior."

Xu Changfeng ran all the way back, extremely thirsty, so he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. He drank several sips, took a breath and said, "Mother, this is a serious matter, and your son cannot calm down even if he wants to."

"What happened?" The general's wife thought of her daughter, and her expression immediately became nervous: "Could it be that Qingqing is in trouble? How can you be a brother? You can't even protect your sister?"

Xu Changfeng soothed her, "My sister is fine, don't worry, mother."

When the general's wife heard that her daughter was not in trouble, she picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea leisurely. "What is that?"

Xu Changfeng smiled and said, "Someone wants to marry my sister."

The general's wife was now most worried about her daughter's marriage. She was also afraid that her daughter would be wronged if she married into another family. She immediately perked up when she heard this.

"Really? Whose son?"

Xu Changfeng had expected the general's wife's reaction, so he kept it a secret, "Mother, guess who this person is?"

The general's wife was getting anxious, but her son was still keeping her in suspense. She picked up a round fan and hit him on the head, "If I knew, would I need to ask you?"

Xu Changfeng was drinking tea when he was hit. He didn't dare to keep it a secret any longer. "It's Master Jun."

When the general's wife heard the name of Mr. Jun, her eyes lit up. She preferred Mr. Jun as a son-in-law because he was both talented and handsome, and had good character. The key was that her daughter liked him.

"Didn't Master Jun leave? Why are you back again?"

Xu Changfeng quickly drank a few sips of tea and said, "I saw him on the street tonight. He was with his sister right now."

The general's wife smiled when she heard this, "That's great. Mr. Jun is a handsome man with good character. I can rest assured that Qingqing can marry him."

Xu Changfeng drank two cups of tea in a row before sitting down and slowly drinking the third cup.

*

The streets are still bustling.

There were so many people just now that Xu Qingqing didn't have a chance to ask. Now that everyone had left, she couldn't help but ask, "What a coincidence that you came during the Qiqiao Festival. I thought I wouldn't see you for another six months."

Jun Wuxian lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Qingqing. He hadn't seen her for more than a month and found that she seemed to have lost weight again and her eyes were bigger than before.

"I haven't seen Daxia's Qiqiao Festival yet, so I came here to take a look." Jun Wuxian glanced at the busy streets, which were almost crowded with people. "It's very lively."

Xu Qingqing said: "Of course, during the Qiqiao Festival, people who are usually busy working will also take time out to pray for blessings."

Jun Wu looked at Xu Qingqing enviously. He had just said he would marry her in front of so many people, but she didn't react at all. He looked at the busy street, which didn't seem suitable for chatting.

He looked away, "Where are you going next?"

Xu Qingqing saw the two blessing lanterns in her hand and raised them happily, "Let's go light the lanterns together. I heard that praying for blessings is very effective."

Jun Wuxian: "Okay."

There is a difference between flower lanterns and river lanterns, and the places where they are placed are different.

The river where people light lanterns and pray for blessings is near the Yue Lao Temple.

When Xu Qingqing and Jun Wuxian arrived, there were already many young boys and girls setting off lanterns by the river.
