The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His narrow and upturned eyes were full of expectation and nervousness, but he seemed to be hiding them as if he was afraid that she would find out.

Jiang Yuanyi's eyes gradually became moist, and the things that happened in her previous life and this life kept flashing before her eyes.

That night, he had the iron-blooded aura that had not faded on the battlefield, and his hard face was full of tenderness. He gently held her hand and still looked at her with such expectation and fear of loss.

He said, "Yuanyi, will you marry me?"

That resolute face slowly overlapped with the bold and youthful faces in front of him.

Jiang Yuanyi trembled as she stretched out her hand and gently stroked his face. She nodded gently and firmly in his gradually shocked eyes: "Okay."

The girl's eyes were watery and sparkling, with a deep and complex look that he couldn't understand, but wrapped in a gentle and pure affection, which emerged from her eyes without reservation at this moment.

Xiao Tuo was slightly startled.

He felt that his previous worries were ridiculous.

How could she not agree...

Xiao Tuo gently lifted her chin and kissed her.

——————

The servants of the Jiang family helped to clean up. When Xiaoqing counted the servants, she found that one person was missing. She checked carefully and found that it was Xiaoshu.

She knew where Xiaoshu was serving today and started to look for him.

Xiaoshu was squatting beside a table, staring at a potted plant.

Xiaoqing walked over and patted her head: "What are you doing? Don't you know they are counting the number of people over there?"

Xiaoshu rubbed his head and pulled Xiaoqing to squat down: "Sister, I remember you told me that my lady had a grudge with the lady of the He family, right?"

Xiaoqing nodded: "What's wrong? Did she bully you today?"

Xiaoshu shook her head: "No, today except for the people of the Xiao family, no one knows that we are servants of the Jiang Mansion."

Xiaoqing pulled her up: "Let's go quickly, the master and the lady are waiting."

Xiaoshu thought for a while. , still felt that there was something wrong with the cat, so she told Xiaoqing and whispered in her ear: "Today, when the young lady was riding a horse, Miss He lost her temper and smashed all the cups and plates. Just now, because of something that happened, the tea party ended early. Do you know what Miss He did?"

Xiaoqing thought she was talking nonsense and smiled: "What happened?"

Xiaoshu pointed to the potted plant and said: "She poured a cup of tea and a whole pot of hot water into this potted plant."

Use it to water the flowers? Of course not, it's hot water.

Xiaoqing frowned when she heard it: "Why?"

Xiaoshu: "Yes! It doesn't make sense."

Xiaoqing frowned, looked at the potted plant carefully, and smelled it closely. The servants of the Jiang family all grew up smelling all kinds of tea, and their sense of smell is more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

As soon as they approached and sniffed carefully, they did smell a few scents that were different from the fragrance of flowers and soil.

Xiaoshu whispered, "I suspect there is something wrong with the water."

Xiaoshu squatted down again and whispered, "But I looked at the potted plant for a long time, and it didn't react at all. Maybe I'm overthinking..."

Xiaoqing stared and thought, and whispered, "While there is no one around, move this potted plant to the carriage of the Jiang Mansion."

Xiaoshu nodded quickly, "Yes."

Jiang Yuanyi and Xiao Tuo came out of the pavilion one after another.

When Jiang saw her, she grabbed her hand and asked in a somewhat reproachful manner: "Where have you been?"

Jiang Yuanyi pointed to the stable beside her: "My daughter went to feed the horses."

Jiang pulled Jiang Yuanyi back and said: "Be careful when riding a horse in the future. Look how badly that man fell today. I heard that his face was all bruised..."

Jiang Yuanyi nodded: "My daughter knows."

Jiang Yuanyi got on the carriage and saw a potted plant with lush branches and leaves in her carriage.

There was a very faint fragrance in the carriage.

Jiang Yuanyi felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had smelled it before.

Just as she was about to ask, Xiaoqing walked in after opening the car curtain. She leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Miss, today's tea party is temporarily over. Before He Huilan left, she poured water into this potted plant."

Jiang Yuanyi suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Xiaoqing: "He Huilan?"

Xiaoqing nodded: "Yes, Xiaoshu saw it with her own eyes."

Jiang Yuanyi moved closer and sniffed it carefully.

The smell was like jasmine, but compared to the elegant fragrance of jasmine, it was a bit more spicy. However, because the dosage was very small, it was difficult to smell.

In her previous life, Jiang Yuanyi married into the Chu Mansion, and Chu Huan arranged a personal maid named Wanxi to take care of her.

Wanxi was a meticulous person. Every time the food was sent from the other courtyard, she would taste it first and then let Jiang Yuanyi eat it.

One time, He Huilan sent someone to deliver a bowl of black-bone chicken soup. Wanxi smelled it. Although the smell was light, it was somewhat incompatible with the aroma of the chicken soup.

Wanxi and Jiang Yuanyi both had a keen sense of smell and could smell it immediately.

Wanxi had someone catch a chicken from the backyard and fed it to the chicken. The chicken was lively for seven days, but after seven days, it suddenly rotted all over and died.

The first place to rot was the head.

Jiang Yuanyi grabbed Xiaoqing's hand and said, "Did Xiaoshu touch the poisoned water?"

Xiaoqing was a little surprised. She didn't know how Jiang Yuanyi could be sure that someone had poisoned her. But relying on her trust in Jiang Yuanyi, she said, "Xiaoshu didn't touch it. Don't worry, Miss."

Jiang Yuanyi was relieved. She lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes and said lightly, "Move it to my courtyard. Be careful not to touch it. After touching it, be sure to wash your hands."

Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Yuanyi's solemn expression, nodded in agreement, and turned to get out of the carriage.

Jiang Yuanyi lowered his head and looked at the vibrant potted plant, raised his hand and pulled off a leaf.

This tea... is it for me?

He Huilan.

——-

Since the tea party that day, Jiang Yuanyi has become completely famous in this capital. Everyone in the capital city knew that the Jiang family had a girl who was as beautiful as a fairy, who was a good archer and rode a horse with a heroic demeanor.

Before Jiang Yuanyi came of age, many people came to her for matchmaking. After she came of age, the Jiang family was even more crowded with matchmakers.

Jiang was very enthusiastic at first, but after two days, she was tired of dealing with all kinds of people and lost interest.

Jiang Yuanyi refused to go out to see people and stayed in her room all day.

She wore simple white clothes and her hair was simply tied behind her head. She practiced archery again and again.

Xiaoshu walked under the archway and called softly, "Miss, the madam wants you to go to the front hall."

Jiang Yuanyi narrowed one eye slightly, aimed at the bull's eye, shot an arrow, and said lightly, "Tell my mother that I won't go."

Xiaoshu ran to report, and soon ran back, "Miss, the madam wants you to go."

Jiang Yuanyi frowned, "Who is coming?"

Xiaoshu said, "Mr. Chu."

The arrow hit the bull's eye accurately, and Jiang Yuanyi's face darkened, "No. Tell my mother that I'm not feeling well."

Xiaoshu said "Oh" and ran to the front hall to report to Jiang.

There is a rule for Ning'anguo to propose marriage, that is, matchmaking must be done first. The matchmaker brings the "red book". If the woman accepts it, it means consent, and if not, it means refusal. Only when the woman accepts the red book can the man come to propose marriage.

It is impossible for Xiao Tuo to remain motionless for such a long time. Jiang Yuanyi called Xiaoqing: "Go to mother's room and help me see if there is anyone from the Duke's Mansion."

Xiaoqing agreed, turned around and ran out.

Jiang Yuanyi called Tongyuan: "My mother sent someone to investigate Xiao Tuo a few days ago, but I didn't stop her. I want to take this opportunity to help mother clear up the misunderstanding, but something may have gone wrong. You go and check it out."

———

In the Duke of Ying's Mansion, the matchmaker sent by the Duke's wife to propose marriage to the Jiang family suddenly came to the door with an embarrassed look on her face.

She was a famous matchmaker in the capital, and had arranged countless marriages.

When she promised the Duke's wife, she also made a promise. But who would have thought that after a few days, the red letter was returned.

The Duke's Mansion has already prepared all the gift books for the marriage proposal, and is preparing to propose marriage today.

Unexpectedly, the red book was returned.

The matchmaker was also very embarrassed and apologized to the Duke's wife repeatedly.

"Does it look good?" Xiao Tuo changed into the fifth set of clothes. He was wearing a navy blue cloud pattern round flower brocade dress, with two small braids on both sides of his bun and a white jade crown. He had an upright posture, outstanding temperament, and a handsome face like a sculpture.

Lin Zhengyu and Xiao Yuning nodded: "This suit is good."

"Well, it looks more serious."

Xiao Tuo threw a piece of clothing over: "Go away, when have I been indecent?"

Lin Zhengyu "clicked" twice and took off the clothes on his face: "Don't change it quickly, or you will miss the auspicious time."

Xiao Tuo had just walked out the door when he saw Tongyun, his mother's personal maid, running over and said, "Second Young Master, Madam asked you to go over quickly, there is an urgent matter."

Xiao Yuning patted Xiao Tuo on the shoulder and raised his eyebrows: "Go quickly, why are you so anxious."

Xiao Tuo didn't say a word, and happily followed him to his mother's room.

When he arrived, he found the matchmaker standing up. Her usually bright eyes were a little evasive. After calling "Second Young Master", she left under the guidance of her maid.

He had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he still walked in with a smile on his face: "Mother, are you ready to leave?"

The Duke's wife patted the bench beside her: "Sit down."

Her face was normal, but Xiao Tuo was sensitive to something wrong and his expression was a little more restrained: "What's wrong?"

The Duke's wife gently held Xiao Tuo's hand, and looked at him with eyes that could see through people's hearts: "Tuo'er, do you know what the red book is?"

Xiao Tuo nodded: "Of course."

The Duke's wife slowly said: "Then do you know what it means when the red book is returned?"

Xiao Tuo's eyes paused for a moment, and then he looked up at the table not far away.

A red book was placed on it.

He was stunned for a few moments, and asked in disbelief: "It was... returned?"

The Duke's wife nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Tuo stood up suddenly, walked over and grabbed the red book in his hand.

It was the one he wrote by hand and then sent. The red book is usually written by parents or matchmakers. Xiao Tuo specially found several templates, and felt that they were not sincere, so he wrote one himself.

He slowly closed the book, stood there, and said nothing.

The Duke's wife thought he would be furious, but he was so quiet at this time, which was not in line with his temperament.

She stood up, walked to Xiao Tuo, patted his shoulder: "Tuo'er, mother will send someone to go again. If it doesn't work, I will come to your house myself."

Xiao Tuo shook his head.

The Duke's wife didn't know what he was thinking, so she asked tentatively, "You're not going to marry her?"

Xiao Tuo suddenly raised his eyes, his dark eyes shone with a cold light, "I will not marry anyone else in this life."

"Then..."

Xiao Tuo bowed to his mother and said, "Mother, let me find out the reason first. I'll discuss it with you when I come back."

After that, he stood up and walked out.

As soon as he returned to his room, he saw Tong Kui standing outside the door.

"Young Master."

Xiao Tuo opened the door, "Come in and talk."

Tong Kui followed Xiao Tuo in. The young master frowned slightly, and his eyes were filled with undisguised irritation.

Tong Kui smiled and whispered, "The young lady sent me to tell you something."

Xiao Tuo's eyes brightened a little, and he turned to look at Tong Kui: "What did she say?"

Tong Kui said, "The young lady said, don't worry."

The irritability in his heart disappeared in an instant, and his wrinkled brows relaxed. He looked at Tong Kui: "You also tell her to let her rest assured."

Tong Kui bowed and said respectfully, "Yes."

The author has something to say: Wuwuwu, hug my Tuo Tuo.

Can you see that I have accelerated the progress? It is not easy for them to get married. Don't worry, it will be soon.
