When Qin Xuezhen heard Wen Qia'an's words, her expression froze, and she could hardly believe what she had just heard.
"Master Wen, please stop joking. You and I are close friends. When did we get to the point of talking about marriage?"
This sentence also stunned Wen Qi'an. He thought Qin Xue was really refusing because she was shy.
"Miss Qin, I don't believe you don't know my feelings for you. Besides, you've already come home with me and you've even untied your hair in front of me. Doesn't that mean you're interested in me?"
"And Xiaochun beside you has already said that our previous encounter on the street was completely intentional on your part."
"Now that you have this intention, and both sets of parents are very supportive, you should quickly accept this birth chart and don't refuse it anymore."
Qin Xuezhen's face almost turned green at this time, looking at Doctor Wen staring at her with a mocking expression, while her parents were still urging her to accept the birth date and horoscope as soon as possible.
Qin Xue was really anxious and pushed away the thing in Wen Qia'an's hand.
Wen Qi'an was caught off guard and the wooden plaque with his birth date and horoscope fell to the ground.
The ancients attached great importance to their birth dates and believed that the eight characters engraved on the wooden plaque were extremely valuable. Having them thrown to the ground in public was considered the greatest insult.
Especially when entering into a marriage contract, if the woman does this, it would be a real joke.
Wen Qia'an was stunned for a moment, but he thought that maybe it was just because the incident happened suddenly that Qin Xuezhen was so disgusted.
So he hurriedly picked up the wooden sign and wanted to persuade Qin Xuezhen.
"Miss Qin, I know this matter has wronged you a little, but don't worry, our Wen family will not miss any of the formalities later. It is true that we are a little rushed now, but it is just to confirm our feelings. We can make up for it later."
Qin Xuezhen was getting impatient with the pestering. All she wanted was the medical book. Why did this fool propose to her out of nowhere?
At this time, Xiaochun was also a little confused about her young lady, so she stepped forward to help persuade her.
"Miss, even if you are angry, please don't lose face for both families right now."
Xiaochun's advice was tantamount to being the first to speak out, and Qin Xuezhen immediately seized the opportunity.
"I know, it must be you. You covet Master Wen's fame and status, so you're plotting something, trying to force me to marry him. Then you can be his concubine as a dowry, right?"
Xiaochun never expected that her young lady would say such words, and she was so scared that she immediately knelt on the ground.
"Miss, please be clear. How dare Xiaochun? Xiaochun has never dared to have any thoughts about Master Wen. Isn't it that Miss has been thinking about Master Wen for some time?"
"Nonsense!" Qin Xuezhen tried her best to make a face at Xiaochun, but this girl was too stubborn and didn't understand what she meant at all. She was still complaining about her grievances.
"Stop talking nonsense here. You are the one who framed me."
At this moment, Qin Xuezhen was extremely proud and even wanted to show off to the system.
[How's it going? System, thankfully I reacted quickly. This way I don't have to marry Wen Qi'an, and I won't offend anyone. It's just a pity for me, a servant girl. I'll just give her a little more money and sell her off. How can such a fool stay with me?]
Qin Xuezhen thought so and couldn't help showing a smug look on her face. However, when she turned around, she saw Doctor Wen, who was staring at her. This scared her so much that she quickly changed her expression.
I have to say that Qin Xue’s acting skills are really good. Tears fell as soon as she said they would, and she instantly changed her expression to one of heartache, pointing at Xiaochun and crying.
"Xiaochun, you grew up with me. Now that you have such plans, I don't blame you, but if you love Master Wen, you should tell me directly!"
"We have been friends since childhood. How could the young lady not help you? Even if she sends you to the Wen family, as a concubine, that would be fine. How could you plot against your young lady's marriage?"
Xiaochun was so shocked that she stood there, staring with her eyes wide open, unable to believe that Qin Xuezhen would actually think of her like that.
Most of the people present understood the trick Qin Xuezhen was using, so when they looked at Xiaochun, they couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy.
It’s a pity that the girl was extremely flustered. When she saw others looking at her, she felt that there was suspicion in their eyes.
"No, miss, Xiaochun has never thought about it this way. Miss, you have to believe Xiaochun."
Qin Xuezhen just cried to herself, and from time to time she would steal a glance at the reactions of the people around her. Seeing that they had no intention of exposing her, she cried even more heartbrokenly.
Xiaochun's world seemed to collapse completely at this moment. She sat there quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qin Xuezhen came to Wen Qia'an and bowed solemnly to him.
"I've really made a fool of myself, Master Wen. It's all my fault for this maidservant acting on her own. It's really Xuezhen's fault that she has caused trouble for Master Wen recently. I'll come to your house another day and apologize to you personally."
Wen Qia'an also understood at this time. How could he not know that Qin Xuezhen didn't want to marry him at all, so she deliberately framed Xiaochun.
After struggling for a moment, Wen Qia'an finally gave in.
"It turns out that I misunderstood, and I deserve to be the one making such a fool of myself today. In that case, we don't need to have any further contact in the future."
Wen Qia'an felt as if he had been hit by frost. He returned dejectedly and knelt in front of his father.
"Father, I have embarrassed you this time. Please punish me. I am willing to kneel in the family ancestral hall as punishment."
Doctor Wen snorted coldly, glanced at his son, and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
"It's okay. Since it was just a misunderstanding, let's just forget about it. You don't have to kneel down as punishment. In a few days, your father will adopt a son from a side branch. The elders will open the family temple then, and it will be inconvenient for you to kneel there."
When Wen Qi'an heard this, his face turned pale and the last glimmer of hope in his eyes was instantly shattered.
"Father, do you want to adopt a son?"
"That's right!" Although Wen Tai said this to his son, his eyes were locked on Qin Xuezhen, as if telling her through this method that even if you get close to my son, don't think about achieving your goal.
Qin Xuezhen was also shocked and couldn't help but complain in her heart
[System, is this old doctor crazy? What unforgivable sin have I committed that he even gave up his son? What should I do now? If he gives up on Wen Qi'an, I will never get the medical book again!]
"Remind the host, you don't have much time left. Doctor Wen is currently working on compiling a medical book. It's very likely that the book will be published in less than a month."
Hearing this, Qin Xuezhen clenched her fists and stared at Doctor Wen, as if she had made a decision.
