Hongluo and Kangtai, who were not far away, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two had finally stopped arguing.
These two are not people that ordinary people can handle. Kangtai knows his young master well. He is usually like this, but he is not the type to argue with women.
What about Hongluo? Every time she sees Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai fighting, Hongluo feels helpless.
Although her daughter didn't like those complicated rules in the past, she wouldn't do anything out of line. After all, this was the capital, not the border, and doing something too outrageous would definitely damage the reputation of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion.
He might not be considered well-educated and reasonable, but he is a person who follows rules and has a good temperament.
At least in Hongluo's heart, Jiang Xuelin was truly a rare master with a good temper.
If you spend a lot of time with a girl, even if you don't like her open-mindedness and casualness, you won't dislike her as a person. Therefore, although Jiang Xuelin's reputation among those ladies is average, many girls actually like her quite a bit. It's just that Jiang Xuelin doesn't get along well with them.
Could he face the Crown Prince of Ping?
Hongluo always felt that the girl seemed to turn into a young child when facing Prince Ping.
Ultimately, it all stemmed from the first meeting between these two people.
At that time, Jiang Xuelin had just returned to the capital and was still dressed in men's clothing. Then she encountered Fu Hanlai, who was young, harassing the daughter of a tofu seller on the roadside. Jiang Xuelin couldn't stand it and beat him up.
Because of Fu Han's arrival, Jiang Xuelin initially had a very bad impression of the capital.
What about Fu Hanlai? He just lost a bet and went to tease the girl from the Tofu Lady's family, but he ended up getting beaten up by some kid who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
When his friends and scions saw that he had been beaten, they immediately came to his aid.
...Then they were all beaten until they cried and screamed by Jiang Xuelin, who was only ten years old at the time.
—The eldest daughter of the Jiang family, who had just returned to the capital, became famous overnight.
When the elders of these spoiled brats saw that so many of them had fought with a girl younger than themselves and even lost, they were already ashamed enough. How could they possibly have the face to cause trouble at their parents' homes? After returning home, these spoiled brats were given a good beating by their elders.
Although Fu Han was not beaten after returning, the former little tyrant of the capital felt ashamed and unilaterally became Jiang Xuelin's mortal enemy. After returning, he immediately found a martial arts master to teach him martial arts.
We await his return in triumph to avenge the humiliation of that day!
...And yet, it hasn't reached its full potential yet, and the day when it reaches its full potential seems far off.
Jiang Xuelin was nearly driven mad by the Lady of Jing'an Marquis when she returned home that day. Fortunately, the old Marquis protected her, and she escaped a disaster. She also remembered Fu Hanlai and his group of纨绔 (playboys) in her heart.
In short, the entanglement between the two is truly fascinating.
No one could have imagined this day would come.
Neither Princess Ping nor Lady Jing'an expected that the two would actually get engaged.
Although it was an accident, the engagement is now finalized, and the date for the marriage proposal has been chosen for the day after tomorrow.
All I can say is that fate is truly unpredictable.
Over the years, who in the entire capital doesn't know that the heir of Prince Ping, who can be considered the tyrant of the capital, and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, the Marquis of Jing'an, are mortal enemies?
Hongluo and Kangtai exchanged a glance, both understanding why the two had met today.
Let alone Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai, the two people directly involved, even the servants who were taking care of them felt extremely worried.
“My mother wanted to go to the palace to ask my uncle or grandmother to grant her a marriage, but I refused.”
Jiang Xuelin nodded, "My mother also wanted my father to ask the Emperor for a marriage decree when he was on duty, but she was unsure if the Prince of Ping's mansion had made the request, so she hasn't taken any action yet. I also refused when my mother brought it up."
In short, there must never be an arranged marriage.
Otherwise, the two of them would really be tied together.
The Emperor's words are law, and once he issues a decree, there is no possibility of it being changed. One of them did not want to drag down the Jing'an Marquis's family, and the other only wanted to be a comfortable playboy and did not want to be noticed by the Emperor. Naturally, they would try to prevent such a thing from happening.
"But they will definitely not give up."
Fu Hanlai nodded, "This is a matter of face. With the marriage decreed, both families will look good, and it also proves that both families are favored by the Emperor."
They exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat troubled.
Although they wanted to disrupt the marriage, neither of them actually intended to rebel at home. They wanted to resolve the issue amicably, as neither of them wanted to bear the consequences.
A proper playboy knows how to avoid risks.
The two discussed it for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion. In any case, their principle remained the same: the marriage could not be arranged, and there could be no arranged marriage.
The reason they couldn't reach a conclusion was largely because the two of them were picky and dissatisfied with everything.
For example, Fu Hanlai thought that before that, Jiang Xuelin should choose a good one and marry no one but him. Given how much the Jiang family doted on Jiang Xuelin, they would eventually agree. But Jiang Xuelin was unwilling. Why should she just find someone to marry?
For example, Jiang Xuelin let Fu Han linger in brothels and spend lavishly on the most beautiful courtesans. After all, he was a playboy with a bad reputation; he had been beaten by Jiang Xuelin when he was twelve for harassing a girl.
With a reputation like his, the Jiang family would definitely not marry their daughter to him.
But Fu Hanlai refused.
So what if he's a playboy? Does being a playboy mean he has no integrity? Does he even care about his reputation? He still wants to marry a gentle and virtuous wife in the future. How can he find a princess with this kind of reputation? Besides, if he really does it, he'll definitely get a beating when he gets back.
In short, many of the ideas they came up with were bad, and they all wanted the other party to bear the consequences and risks of breaking off the engagement.
The longer they discussed it, the angrier they became. Hongluo and Kangtai, who were guarding both sides, were terrified, fearing that the two would eventually lose their temper and start fighting.
The two were genuinely frightened.
After all, there are still two major threats looming over Yuanshan Temple. If the two masters were to fight here, regardless of who wins or loses, they would ultimately face a devastating defeat.
“Miss, forget it, think of Madam. She’s still at the temple listening to the master’s sermon, waiting for you to come back from your walk.”
Just imagine how furious your wife is!
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Let's talk this out, let's talk this out! The Princess Consort told me to keep an eye on you."
—Think about the princess. If you make a scene today, she will really punish you personally when you get back.
Because of Hongluo and Kangtai, the two men, who had already clenched their fists and were ready to fight, froze and finally wilted.
"Don't worry, we're fine."
"Hehe, why would I make a move? Why would I make a move while admiring flowers?"
Hongluo: "..."
Kang Tai: "..."
well.
At this moment, Princess Ping and Lady Jing'an, who had already listened to the master recite a chapter of scripture, were looking at the peach blossom forest from the mountain. When they saw two tiny figures leaning against each other, seemingly talking, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, a fight didn't break out.
"They seemed to be having a pleasant conversation."
"Yeah, that's how young people are."
They chatted casually for a bit, and then the two mothers smiled at each other, their hearts finally at ease.
