The group walked down the stairs happily, talking as they walked. Suddenly, the siblings Su Anzhi and Su Ruojin stopped talking and walked at the same time.
Xun Wan followed their gaze in confusion and looked towards the corner of the second floor. There were a few people standing there. Judging from their clothes, they were maids and old women surrounding a wealthy young lady, who was looking at them.
If you meet someone you know, why not say hello?
Xun Wan didn’t understand, but she didn’t disturb them and waited for everyone quietly.
Su Ruojin withdrew her gaze and looked at her brother.
Su Anzhi also withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly, "Let's go!" After that, he walked downstairs.
Seeing that the blind date was about to leave, Zhao Wan'er couldn't help but shouted, "Mr. Su, please stay!"
Su Anzhi did not stop.
Zhao Wan'er trotted over and said, "Master Su, I have something to say to you alone..."
Neither Mrs. Fan nor the official media have been active in the past few days. The Su family speculated that Mrs. Fan might be looking for a suitable opportunity to cancel this marriage.
Since the young lady has come to him, let him talk it out first.
Su Anzhi stopped, moved to the side, and signaled his sister Ajin to take everyone down first.
"Brother..." Su Ruojin was a little worried.
He gave me a reassuring look and said, "Wait for me at the door."
Feeling his brother's intentions, Su Ruojin nodded and said, "Okay." Then he led everyone away.
Su Anzhi turned around and went upstairs.
In the corridor on the second floor, the maids and old women wisely moved aside to leave space for the two.
Su Anzhi bowed silently.
Zhao Wan'er's face was pale. Although it was a hot summer day, her thin body looked like a branch in the cold wind, giving people a feeling of being shaky.
The two stood facing each other, neither of them speaking first.
After several years of grassroots experience, Su Anzhi is no longer a young and weak scholar. Standing here, he is tall and slender, wearing a sky-blue robe with dark bamboo leaf patterns, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and he looks elegant, calm, composed and mature.
Just looking at it makes people feel at ease and develop dependence unconsciously. It would be great if parents didn’t ask for too much!
Zhao Wan'er suppressed her heartache and spoke, "Master Su, I..."
When the words came to her lips, she only uttered four words. She didn't know what to say after that. Should she say that the gift money her family asked for was not her idea, or that she fell in love with him at first sight and hoped that he would marry her?
Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents. She couldn't stop her parents from asking for such a high gift money, so how could she expect the man across the street to do anything for a girl she had only met once?
Su Anzhi waited quietly for what the young lady would say.
If it weren't for the blind date, he and she would have no chance of meeting each other. Like millions of other people, they would have just passed each other by!
The frail young lady bent her waist deeply, and finally all her thoughts were reduced to three words, "I'm sorry!"
The young lady did not say anything radical or anything else, but apologized solemnly. Su Anzhi, who was originally calm, barely moved his eyebrows, but replied solemnly, "Take care, young lady."
After that, he bowed silently again, turned around, and went down the stairs.
If there wasn't such a family, Miss Zhao might have been a good wife!
Su Anzhi just thought about it with regret, and when he met everyone at the door, he didn't even look back.
Su Ruojin looked behind her brother and could see a little bit of the stairs to the second floor. It seemed that the young lady had been standing there.
The ladies in the wealthy mansions cannot control their own destiny. They have to rely entirely on their family's conscience and luck to enter into marriage and live their lives.
The atmosphere was not very good. Xun Wan did not make conversation for no reason. She just smiled brightly when everyone's eyes met.
Su Anzhi said, "Didn't Ah Ce just say that he wanted to buy some books? Let's go to the pen and ink shop."
Xun Ce happily took Su Silang's hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Anzhi."
At the second floor staircase, the young lady stood by for a long time without moving. Her personal maid couldn't help crying out of distress, "Second Lady, Young Master Su was right in front of you just now, why didn't you fight for yourself."
"Stop talking." However, after meeting her once, Mr. Su might have forgotten what she looked like. What could he fight for?
Zhao Wan'er couldn't help but cover her face and cry. A powerless and penniless young lady from the royal family like her could only let her parents "sell" her for money under the title of royal family, until she met someone who wanted to improve her status and paid to "buy" her.
This is her fate. (End of this chapter)
