Lan Ting snorted coldly, his words filled with sarcasm: "What do you think our Lan family is? You can arrange marriages and then break them off. Do you think this is a market where you can haggle over prices?"
Facing Lan Ting's sharp words, Han Zhi said calmly, "Getting married is certainly not a trivial matter, so I hope Miss Lan will think twice before acting."
Lan Ting put her hands on her hips, glanced at Han Zhi's side, and refuted Han Zhi's words in a firm tone.
"Oh, what? I don't agree. What can you do to me?"
Faced with such arrogance and domineering attitude, Ming Fan directly retorted her.
"Are you a crab? You want to walk sideways? Don't think I won't do anything just because you're a woman."
Unexpectedly, Lan Ting was not a well-educated person. Faced with Ming Fan's irritating words, the two of them started to curse at each other.
Now Han Zhi became a spectator, sitting on the side and watching the two of them arguing with each other for three hours without even taking a breath or drinking a sip of water.
Han Zhi was filled with admiration and applauded them from the side.
"Okay, it's really great. Are you two thirsty? Why don't you sit down and drink some water and rest for a while before scolding again?"
Hearing Han Zhi's call, the two men stopped, stared at each other with a look of disgust, and sat far away from each other.
Finally, Lan Ting said bluntly, "You want to cancel the engagement? No way! I'll be waiting here tomorrow. If you have the guts, convince me. Otherwise, forget it."
Before leaving, Lan Ting glared at Ming Fan fiercely. Fortunately, Han Zhi was quick enough to hold him back, otherwise he would have chased after her and beaten her up.
It was already late when the two returned to the town. Han Zhi picked some bright flowers from the roadside, put them into a bouquet, and took it to the shop to give to Lin Sheng.
She apologized to Lin Sheng, "I'm sorry I came late today and made you worry about me. I give you this bouquet of flowers. I hope it will make up for my mistake."
Lin Sheng pretended to be angry and accepted the bouquet.
With a pout, he asked in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Where did you go today? What did you do? Why did you come so late?"
Han Zhi smiled and patiently explained, "I went to ask Miss Lan to cancel the engagement."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng finally felt a little happy in his heart, and his previous worries were swept away.
Lin Sheng didn't say anything, but the joy in his heart seemed to be written on his face, and everyone could see it.
He took out something and secretly put it into Han Zhi's hand. When he opened his hand, he saw that it was the little tiger accessory.
Lin Sheng went back upstairs without saying a word, leaving Han Zhi alone to ponder his thoughts.
Han Zhi showed that beautiful smile on his face and hung the tiger around his waist.
At night, Mingfan sat alone by the window, thinking about the quarrel between him and Miss Lan today. He felt so angry that he wanted to scold her back fiercely tomorrow and not give her any face at all.
Han Zhi was sitting at his desk, writing poetry, and his serious look was very charming.
The next day, the eldest daughter of the Lan family was waiting there early. Only Mingfan went there, and Han Zhi stayed in the mansion.
As soon as Mingfan and her met, before they even got close, they started cursing at each other. The curses were even more unpleasant than yesterday. In the end, Miss Lan was at a disadvantage and couldn't win the curse, so she walked up to Mingfan and slapped him in the face.
Mingfan was suddenly stunned. He didn't expect that she would hit people. Mingfan looked at her for a few seconds.
In the end, Miss Lan took her maid away, leaving Mingfan alone in the pavilion. She waited for him to come to his senses and then shouted to the outside.
"Come tomorrow if you dare, and see if I won't fight back. Don't think I can't do it just because you're a woman."
In the next few days, Lan Ting came to the appointment every time, and Ming Fan also arrived here on time, waiting to avenge his previous humiliation.
This war of words lasted for more than half a month. They quarreled every day, and Mingfan never won a single day since then.
On this day, an uninvited guest, Mr. Lan, came to the Han Mansion.
He came to propose a marriage between the two families to Mr. Han, but Mr. Han had no way to back out. The other party was adamant and insisted on the marriage between the two families, and in the end they parted on bad terms.
Mingfan still came to the pavilion, but Lan Ting arrived earlier than him.
Today she didn't quarrel with him. Instead, she asked Mingfan to call Han Zhi over and said that there were some things she needed to explain to him in person.
Mingfan had a bad feeling, but still called Han Zhi over.
Lan Ting said to him in front of him: "I asked you to come here today to talk to you about the marriage between our two families. I will not cancel the engagement."
Han Zhi said calmly, "No matter what you want, I won't marry you. All other conditions are negotiable, but marrying you is not. This is my bottom line."
Lan Ting smiled, as if her evil plan had succeeded, and pointed at Ming Fan standing beside her and said arrogantly.
"I want you to exchange him with me. If you don't marry him, ask him to marry him."
Han Zhi looked at Mingfan in disbelief. Mingfan's expression was even more exaggerated, and he was completely stunned.
Before Han Zhi could speak, Mingfan's face darkened and he agreed first.
"Okay, I'll marry you."
After hearing this, Lan Ting walked away triumphantly.
Han Zhi looked at Mingfan, who had a calm face, with mixed feelings. Out of concern, he asked Mingfan some questions from his heart.
"You don't have to do this for me. This matter has nothing to do with you. Why bother getting involved in this mess?"
Ming Fan smiled from the bottom of his heart and said lightly: "I am happy to do this, don't stop me."
Mingfan walked a long way alone, looking at the scenery of the valley, he murmured something quietly, but Han Zhi was too far away to hear clearly.
He said: "She is actually not bad."
Han Zhi's marriage with the Lan family is completely over. Looking at the scene of Mingfan and Lan Ting getting engaged, he couldn't help but feel dazed. His cousin has grown up, and it is finally time to separate the family.
The Lan family asked Mingfan to go to their house, but Mr. Han disagreed at first because Mingfan was not a servant but his nephew, so as his uncle, he naturally disagreed.
But since Mingfan himself agreed to be a son-in-law of the Lan family, Mr. Han had nothing to say and could only agree.
Their wedding is scheduled for after the Lantern Festival next year.
This year's winter came a little late, a month later than in previous years.
Han Zhi took Lin Sheng out for fun and taught him how to ride a horse. There was a winter hunt, and Han Zhi took Lin Sheng to participate. Ming Fan and the eldest daughter of the Lan family also came.
Throughout the whole process, Han Zhi followed Lin Sheng, Ming Fan followed Lan Ting, and the four of them rode four horses in the hunting ground. It was also the first time that Lin Sheng saw Han Zhi's strength after his recovery.
Although Mingfan also learned horse riding and archery with Han Zhi since childhood, he has never really won against him.
Han Zhi was an expert in riding and shooting. In less than half an hour, he returned with a full load. He shot all the prey in the same part, with quick, fierce and accurate arrows, killing them with one shot.
His trophies included creatures that ran on the ground and flew in the sky, and every arrow he shot never missed its target.
Lin Sheng was stunned watching from the side, but Lan Ting was very protective of Ming Fan. Seeing that Ming Fan's hunting was not as good as Han Zhi's and his archery skills were slightly inferior, she secretly criticized Han Zhi.
