When talking about the past, An Jinsong tensed up and seemed reluctant to recall it.
"After Chun'er married my classmate, we had no contact until a year later when someone went to the Mao family to report the death. I then learned that Chun'er had died. I was also shocked at the time, but the Mao family didn't say anything, and as an outsider, I certainly had no right to interfere. Moreover, they all said that Chun'er died of illness due to excessive worry." An Jinsong sighed.
He and Chun'er truly loved each other back then, but unfortunately, he was too poor.
His mother also hoped that he could marry the daughter of a wealthy merchant family who could support his studies.
His mother was not in good health at the time and was worried about his marriage. How could he, as a son, ignore his mother's wishes?
What's more, even if he went to the Mao family to propose marriage, the Mao family would not agree.
"That's all?" Xiao Cunyu raised his eyebrows and said aggressively, "If I find out that you're hiding something from me, I'll break your legs!"
General Jiang couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this.
He is just a good scholar and has done nothing wrong, but this guy is too lawless.
Xiao Cunyu's arrogant look didn't seem like he was joking. An Jinsong became even more nervous after hearing that.
Moreover, seeing that the young man was dressed in an extraordinary manner, he knew that he could not afford to offend this person. After thinking for a while, he said honestly: "There is no grudge between Chun'er and me..."
"It's true that we are in love, but... after her parents arranged a marriage for her, she asked me out and wanted to elope with her, but I refused." An Jinsong felt weak all over and shrugged his shoulders.
"My mother was in poor health at the time. How could I possibly abandon her and go with Chunniang?! I know I was being unfair to her, but I had no other choice... Chun'er knew I didn't want to elope, so she wanted others to see that we were actually married, so that the Mao family would have to marry her to me..."
"I'm a scholar, and I know what I can and can't do. If I really ruin her reputation, it will also be detrimental to my imperial examinations. I absolutely cannot use such a method."
"Chun'er was very sad at the time. After returning home, she seemed to have had another argument with her parents. I lived next door and could hear some of the noise. I knew she had come home and threatened to commit suicide, insisting her parents agree. I felt sorry for her at the time, but I also felt that she was... perhaps too stubborn. We were destined to be impossible. How could I let my parents worry about my own personal feelings? So, I went to the Mao family and explained everything clearly."
After An Jinsong finished speaking, his eyes turned red.
Now, he doesn't know whether he did anything wrong.
"What did you say to the Mao family?" Jiang Hanyi became more and more curious after listening to this, and felt that it was much more interesting than the opera.
If you ask him, this scholar is a waste.
The young lady has already come to his door, but he is still hesitant and unwilling to accept her! !
An Jinsong looked a little guilty. "I told Chun'er that even if both parents agreed, I would never marry her. I actually treat her like a younger sister, so she can wait to get married with peace of mind. When she gets married, I'll give her a gift as a token of our long-standing brother-sister relationship..."
"What a coward! Bah!" After hearing this, Jiang Hanyi felt that he was not a man at all.
Brother-sister love?
There is a delicate and tender young lady in front of you, and you are tempted by her. If you provoke her, then we can call them brother and sister?
Jiang Hanyi felt a little uncomfortable all over.
Not to mention him, even General Jiang felt uncomfortable when he heard this. As he was old, he liked to listen to some soothing stories. Besides, he was a martial artist and looked down upon this indecisive pretty boy the most.
