Chapter 64 Young Master Proposes Marriage
Yu Qinghuan immediately looked at Sang Ru, asking with a questioning look: How did this person get in?
Based on her understanding of Xie Zhili over the past few days, she knew that everyone in this manor had been bribed by him, and there was no way he would let Mu Huaian enter the manor, let alone this yard.
Sang Ru hesitated to speak, and finally said, "Madam, I will go to the yard to guard it."
When she left, she signaled to Yu Qinghuan with her eyes, telling her to say it quickly if she had anything to say, and then quickly sent the young master away.
Sang Ru went to the yard and sat on the small steps to keep watch, fearing that the Second Master would come back and run into these two people again.
There was a charcoal brazier burning in the room. Yu Qinghuan was wearing very little, and her thin outer coat could not hide her beautiful figure at all.
Mu Huaian's eyes were in a panic, not knowing where to look. "I have something to say to you."
Yu Qinghuan turned sideways and motioned him to come into the house to talk.
Mu Huaian subconsciously took a step back, his Adam's apple rolling, "I'm a man, it's inappropriate for me to enter your house."
Yu Qinghuan was surprised. Even at this point, why was Mu Huaian still sticking to those red tape?
"Come in, it's windy outside and you haven't fully recovered yet."
Mu Huaian: "It's okay."
Climbing over the wall by myself was already out of line, how could I enter her bedroom?
Yu Qinghuan frowned and said helplessly: "Xie Zhili also lives in this courtyard. It will be difficult for me to explain when he comes back to see you later."
Mu Huaian was slightly startled. When he heard the three words "Xie Zhili", his hands curled up in his sleeves trembled slightly, and he finally stepped into the house.
The door closed, and Yu Qinghuan looked at Mu Huaian, feeling confused and a little nervous.
She had thought that after she had told Mu Huaian about what happened between her and Xie Zhili today, Mu Huaian would no longer want to see her, but now he appeared outside her house, which was really unexpected.
"How did you get in?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Mu Huaian's face, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red. "Climbing the wall."
Because it was not a glorious thing and was a little difficult to talk about, he spoke in a low voice.
Yu Qinghuan looked at him in shock, and only then noticed that his hair was slightly tilted, his cloak and clothes were stained with grass leaves, and there were large pieces of wall dust on his cuffs.
She couldn't help but imagine Mu Huaian climbing the wall in her mind, and almost laughed out loud. This was probably the most outrageous thing the well-behaved young master of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion had ever done in his life.
Yu Qinghuan suppressed a laugh, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table for Mu Huaian, then sat aside and looked at him, "You just said that you had something to tell me?"
She wanted to see what kind of important words could make Mu Huaian climb over the wall to say them in person.
Mu Huaian suddenly became nervous, his Adam's apple rolling heavily, "Miss Yu, I am twenty years old, the only son in the family. I was engaged when I was young, but the engagement was called off two years ago. There is no concubine in the mansion, nor any mistress."
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Qinghuan. Because of nervousness, his fingers unconsciously clenched the cup of hot tea.
Yu Qinghuan's eyes became more and more confused. He ignored the etiquette and climbed over the wall just to say this?
His eyes met her confused expression, and Mu Huaian suddenly drank the hot tea in his hand, and said loudly with all his strength: "Today I said I want to marry you into the mansion, not just to help you, but because I like you, so I want to marry you."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned, her mind went blank for a moment...Mu Huaian said that he liked her and wanted to marry her?
Mu Huaian's voice was so loud that even Sang Ru in the yard outside heard it and stood up from the steps, "!!!"
The young master actually wants to marry her wife!?
She was a little excited. That was the young master of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the young master Mu who was famous in Beijing. Every song and painting of his was worth a thousand gold coins, and the young master had a fortune of immense magnitude!
Mu Huaian's ears were already red, his face was burning, and his heart was beating very fast. "My proposal to you is against the moral principles of a gentleman. The Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion will definitely not agree, and it may even lead to the ridicule of the world. But don't worry, if you are willing to marry into my mansion, I will block all these things in front of you."
"According to the laws of our dynasty, my face is damaged and I cannot serve the court. However, I own all the farms and shops, and they are profitable. I will give them all to you and guarantee you a life without worries."
Yu Qinghuan looked at Mu Huaian in a daze. This was not the first time she had been proposed to.
The first person to propose marriage was Xie Zhiwen. He said that as long as he married her, she would be the honorable wife of the Ningyuan Marquis, and she would no longer have to worry about the Yu family's faces in the future.
Xie Zhiwen did it, and he no longer had to look at the faces of the Yu family, but he still had to be under the control of his biological mother, Wang.
On the surface, she is the marquis's wife, but in reality she has no real power in the marquis's mansion.
So in his previous life, Xie Zhiwen died, and he was also forced to die tragically.
The second person to propose marriage was Xie Zhili. He said that he would allow himself to be a co-wife, but what is the difference between a co-wife and a concubine? He himself was born a bastard and had suffered a lot, but now he wanted his children to suffer the same hardships?
Ultimately, it was Xie Zhili's own wishful thinking.
The third one is Mu Huaian in front of him at this moment. He said that as long as he is willing to enter the Duke's Mansion, he is willing to stand in front of him with all the difficulties, and also give him all the manors and shops under his name.
These are already more glorious than the wives of ordinary families.
Yu Qinghuan couldn't recover from her shock for a long time. It would be a lie to say that she was not tempted, but she soon came to her senses and regained her rationality.
Yu Qinghuan turned her head away, avoiding the burning gaze in front of her, poured herself a cup of hot tea, and took a sip to moisten her throat.
"You are very kind, but I will not be a concubine."
Mu Huaian immediately stood up, facing Yu Qinghuan, bowed respectfully, and looked her straight in the eye, "I will not take a concubine. I will only marry one wife in a formal ceremony and accompany her for life."
There were still some grass leaves stuck in his hair, and his eyes were scorchingly bright, looking straight into Yu Qinghuan's heart.
Three books and six ceremonies, a formal marriage, one wife, to accompany you for life.
Yu Qinghuan felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She suddenly stood up and turned her back, her hands trembling under her sleeves. "I'm sorry, I can't marry you."
After being reborn, I have already decided that I will never marry again in this life.
What's more, I have come to this point and can only keep going forward. There is no turning back.
Mu Huaian's tense heartstrings suddenly broke. Thinking of the dirty things that happened in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, he approached Yu Qinghuan and asked nervously, "Is it because of what you said today?"
Yu Qinghuan deliberately avoided Mu Huaian's gaze and couldn't help asking, "Don't you care about what I said today?"
She felt that everyone should care about it, let alone someone like Mu Huaian, who has good character, background and knowledge and is most conscious of etiquette. How could he not care about such things?
But why did he come to propose to me after he knew it?
Mu Huaian's eyes dimmed a little, and he said in a deep voice, "I care, but if I lose you because of this, I can't accept it."
In the yard, Sang Ru, who was quietly eavesdropping at the door, covered her mouth tightly!
No wonder everyone loves to eavesdrop, it's really exciting...
