Chapter 438 Forced Marriage
Ministry of Justice -
Jiang Yunxia walked out of the sedan chair and took a few deep breaths before walking towards the door of the Ministry of Justice.
The yamen runners at the door saw her and looked a little strange, but still let her pass.
After she walked away, the two yamen runners at the door gathered together and whispered, "This Miss Jiang has such a unique taste. Other girls all avoid our master for fear of being favored by him, but why does she just go for it?"
"It's not that I have any opinion against our master. Look at him, he has a cold face all day long and a fierce aura. Any little girl would be scared and hide away when she sees him. Miss Jiang is worthy of being the sister of the Queen Mother of Heaven."
"Our master has a really cold heart. How many times has Miss Jiang come?"
"It's the tenth time!"
"Does your master still disagree?"
"Your master said that he is destined to be lonely and doesn't want to implicate Miss Jiang."
"Does he not want to implicate all the girls who are engaged to him, or does he just not want to implicate Miss Jiang?"
Ma Yiyang had just returned to the Ministry of Justice from the Dali Temple when he heard from his subordinates that Miss Jiang was here.
"Hiss..."
The hand shaved as he was shaving shaved a tiny cut on his chin, and a small drop of blood came out.
He wiped it with a cloth and said, "Let her go back. The Ministry of Justice is full of blood. She is a girl, don't let her get hurt."
Ma Yiyang always remembered the way she shivered in his arms when he saved her that night. How could a rough man like him delay such a delicate girl?
He got the name of the evil god of the Ministry of Justice because he had been involved in countless deaths. The abbot of the temple said that he was born with evil spirits and was not suitable for getting married.
Several of his trusted men looked at each other, none of them were willing to move, and they said with resentment: "You go by yourself if you want to go, I won't go, Miss Jiang cries a lot, I can't stand it."
"If he doesn't go, I won't go either, I'm most afraid of girls crying."
Ma Yiyang glared at them: "I'll go change my clothes."
The clothes on his body still smelled of blood, it was not suitable to meet Miss Jiang.
"What does the master mean? Are you going
to see him or not?" "Are you stupid? When did the master care about what clothes he wore when he went to see someone? Only when he saw his sweetheart would he be so particular."
Jiang Yunxia held her handkerchief with her two slender white hands, her heart was beating fast.
I wonder if Master Ma will see her today?
On weekdays, she can only see him once out of three times. If she is lucky, she can let him take her home when he is not busy.
My sister is right. You have to fight for your own happiness. She hopes that she can live with Master Ma until old age.
She must force the marriage today. If not, her mother will arrange a marriage for her.
After all, my sister is old enough and my parents are already looking for a partner for her.
But if the eldest sister is not married, the younger siblings cannot be engaged. Recently, my parents are anxious to marry her off.
"Miss Jiang!"
Ma Yiyang's deep and hoarse voice rang out. Jiang Yunxia was startled. She stood up from her seat and hurriedly took the food box from the maid: "I heard that you didn't have a good meal in the three days of hearing cases in the Dali Temple. I... I asked the chef at home to make a few special dishes. Do you want to try them?"
The food box was opened, and the aroma that made people's mouths watered wafted out. Ma Yiyang, who wanted to refuse, swallowed his saliva, and an awkward sound came from his stomach.
Jiang Yunxia smiled, and brought out the food with the maid, silently handed over the chopsticks, like a wife waiting for her busy husband to come home for dinner.
It would be impolite to refuse.
Moreover, the dishes that Jiang Yunxia brought were all Ma Yiyang's favorites.
He knew at a glance that his mother and sister had probably revealed a lot of information about him to Miss Jiang.
Rich families pay attention to not talking while eating or sleeping, but Ma Yiyang does not have these requirements. He eats quickly, but still elegantly: "You always come here like this, don't your family say anything about you?"
Jiang Yunxia understood it as: Do your family agree that you and I are dating?
"No!"
The girl blushed anxiously: "My parents are worried that I can't get married now, how could they object to my dating you?"
Ma Yiyang stared at her with wide eyes. He just...did he mean this?
But he didn't ask, and the roots behind his ears were also red where Jiang Yunxia couldn't see.
Jiang Yunxia was a little anxious and didn't notice Ma Yiyang's discomfort. She bit her lower lip and said, "Um... have you... are you planning to get married recently?"
"Puff!"
The boys hiding in the dark were so scared by her bravery that they almost spit out saliva.
"Ah!"
A date seed flew out and hit one of them on the forehead. The boy held his forehead and screamed. The boys who were eavesdropping behind the door were all scared and ran away.
Jiang Yunxia blushed and mustered up her courage again: "Ma Yiyang, I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to marry me? If you don't want to, I will listen to my family's arrangements and marry whoever they let me marry."
"Promise her! Promise her! Promise her!"
This time the voice came from the roof.
The young men had no experience in eavesdropping, and they were discovered before they heard the key points. They were different. They were all experienced people who followed the adults. If they kept silent, even the adults would not find them.
But now they had to keep silent. The girl had already proposed to marry him, so what was the boss still hesitating about?
Ma Yiyang gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of here. If you eavesdrop again, I will punish you by making you carry a sandbag weighing 100 kilograms and run around the moat of the capital city ten times." The boss
really couldn't find them, but he knew how to deal with them.
Carrying a sandbag weighing 100 kilograms was no joke.
"Promise her... Promise her... Promise her..."
Several tall young men flew down from the roof, raising their hands to beat the rhythm when they left: "Boss, promise her!"
After the noise, the quiet atmosphere made Jiang Yunxia want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it, but since she had already asked, she would not be willing to accept it without knowing the result.
The problem fell back into Ma Yiyang's hands.
The long silence made Jiang Yunxia's eyes as red as a rabbit's, and she looked like she was about to cry.
The shame and sadness made her not want to stay here any longer. She
was really too sad.
"I'm sorry, I disturbed you."
She tried hard to hold back her tears, not wanting to cry in front of Ma Yiyang.
It was good that she was the one who fell in love first, but she had her own self-esteem to protect.
"Hey..."
Just as she was about to run out, her slender arm was grabbed by a strong hand.
Ma Yiyang stared at her closely with his calm and restrained eyes, a storm brewing in them: "Even if I am doomed to fail? Even if my hands are stained with blood? Even if everyone is afraid of me and hates me, will you still marry me?"
His passion was no less than Jiang Yunxia's.
