Chapter 14 I Really Want to Get Married
Wei Lingze's eyes were so fierce that matchmaker Zhang broke out in a cold sweat and felt as if her head was about to fall to the ground.
But she had never met this noble young man, let alone offended him. Why did this young man look at her like that?
Is it for Chunxi?
If you can marry into such a wealthy family, why would you still ask her to be a matchmaker? Isn't that crazy?
Matchmaker Zhang was just daydreaming when she saw the noble young man get off the carriage with murderous intent and immediately turn around and run away.
Wei Lingze's face turned pale. He still didn't want to believe that Chunxi would really marry someone else, so he strode to Chunxi's house.
In the yard, Zhou's parents and Wang were chatting happily, and many neighbors came to watch. There was tea and melon seeds on the small table, and the melon seed shells were scattered all over the floor.
Zhou's parents sent two shiny big roosters, rice, oil, flour and a dozen pieces of cloth. There was also a tray on the table with a gold bracelet on it.
The bracelet was very thin, and Wei Lingze usually gave more than this amount of gold melon seeds as rewards to his servants. However, everyone in the yard praised Chunxi for her good fortune because of this bracelet, and Zhou's parents and Wang were even grinning from ear to ear.
However, the lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end when Wei Lingze appeared.
The smile on Wang's face froze, and she couldn't control her panic.
Why did Young Master Wei come here suddenly?
Didn’t Chunxi say that she had offended someone to death? Was she lying to her?
Zhou's parents were even more shocked and confused.
Although the person in front of me has a gloomy face, his clothes and accessories are all exquisite, and his face is handsome. It is obvious that he is a person of noble status. How could such a person appear here?
Wei Lingze's aura was so strong that everyone in the courtyard stopped talking and became silent for a moment.
Chunxi brought Cao Wen to the door, and Wei Lingze glared at her fiercely: "Are you really going to marry someone else?"
Chunxi asked for the reward and the indenture and returned to her home. Wei Lingze didn't think she was really going to leave until he saw the joy and betrothal gifts all over the yard. Then he suddenly understood Chunxi's determination, and huge anger and panic swept over him.
Chunxi actually chose someone else.
During the three years that Wei Lingze was paralyzed in bed, Chunxi was always by his side when he was at his most unbearable and vulnerable. He was sure that Chunxi loved him deeply and would never leave him no matter what happened.
But the fact is, Chunxi couldn't wait to leave him as soon as he was able to stand up.
Either be willful, make trouble, or leave.
The things in the yard just now were not valuable, which meant that the other party's family was of average financial status. Judging from the appearance of the two people who were talking to Wang, they would not be able to give birth to a good-looking son. Chunxi was actually willing to marry people who were inferior to him in every way.
Wei Lingze felt extremely humiliated.
Chunxi didn't waste any energy trying to guess Wei Lingze's thoughts, and replied calmly: "I have always been serious and have never lied to the young master."
I have never cheated.
Chunxi not only took the money and left without hesitation, but also tried her best to distance herself from Wei Lingze during the last outing. It was Wei Lingze who was being self-indulgent and thought that she was just trying to attract his attention.
Chunxi's calmness was like a slap in Wei Lingze's face.
Because of the difference in status, even though Wei Lingze was paralyzed in bed before, he still felt extremely superior to Chunxi.
Now, this sense of superiority has been shattered.
Chunxi has been taking care of him wholeheartedly for the past three years, maybe because of money or because he wants to stay alive, but definitely not because of love.
Wei Lingze thought it was ridiculous that he had taken the initiative to find Chunxi today and promised to let Chunxi's younger brother enter the Yun clan school!
He could no longer face Chunxi, and with a gloomy face he got on the carriage and left.
Although Wei Lingze had left, the atmosphere in the yard was still cold.
After Wang had driven away all the onlookers, Matchmaker Zhang couldn't wait to ask, "Chunxi girl, who was that person just now?"
"He is the eldest young master of the Wei family, my former master. We happened to meet today, and he gave Awen and me a ride."
Chunxi answered casually, but matchmaker Zhang and Zhou's parents looked unhappy.
They knew that Chunxi worked for the Wei family and had taken care of the eldest young master of the Wei family for three years and received many rewards from the Wei family, but no one said that the eldest young master of the Wei family was so handsome and noble.
Zhou's parents originally thought that their son was very handsome and could marry a daughter of an official family. However, after meeting Wei Lingze today, they realized that their son was far from that.
Besides, Chunxi is no longer a maid of the Wei family. Why would the eldest young master of the Wei family send her home whenever he meets her on the road?
Originally, Zhou's parents wanted to set the wedding date today so that Chunxi could get married earlier and take care of the whole family, but now they are hesitant.
Chunxi is still so involved with Young Master Wei, how could she resist cheating on their son?
Could it be that they are in such a hurry to get married because they want to use their son as a cover to have an affair?
The more Zhou's parents thought about it, the more frightened they became. They said a few polite words and left in a hurry.
Matchmaker Zhang was also afraid that the matchmaking fee she had received would be lost, so she said to Wang sternly, "The Zhou family is sincere in wanting to marry your daughter Chunxi. If you don't handle these matters properly, damaging my reputation won't be a big deal, but ruining Chunxi's reputation will make it difficult for her to marry again in the future."
Wang nodded repeatedly and said many nice things before sending Zhang the matchmaker away.
Once the gate was closed and only the family members were left, Wang Shi hurriedly asked Chunxi, "Why did Young Master Wei come back with you?"
Chunxi briefly recounted what had happened in the academy. Upon hearing that Wei Lingze was willing to allow Cao Wen to attend the Yun clan academy, Wang slapped her thigh in frustration, "I told you that the eldest young master had feelings for you. If you hadn't been so anxious to get married, wouldn't Awen have been able to attend the Yun clan academy and study with those young nobles?"
Even if Cao Wen didn't have the talent to pass the imperial examination, as long as he could build good relationships with those young nobles, wouldn't he be able to make a living doing whatever he wanted?
Wang was heartbroken, and Chunxi rubbed salt into her heart: "I didn't agree to marry Zhou Qin. It was my mother who secretly accepted the betrothal gifts while I was away. If it had been a little later, I might not have had to come back and could have gone straight to the Zhou family to get married."
Wang choked and her face turned blue.
The Zhou family was indeed a little anxious.
Matchmaker Zhang came to mediate yesterday, and today they brought gifts to propose marriage. However, Matchmaker Zhang had a silver tongue, and the two elders of the Zhou family were also very good at speaking. They kept praising Wang for her hard work and great achievements, and she accepted the betrothal gifts without thinking.
Who could have thought that Wei Lingze would suddenly appear?
Wang was filled with regret and could not help but say to Chunxi, "I will return the Zhou family's betrothal gifts, and you can go and ask for mercy from Young Master Wei."
Studying in the Yun clan school is a rare opportunity, and it is worth it even if it costs your face.
Chunxi said without hesitation: "Okay, I will go to find the eldest young master as soon as you return the betrothal gifts."
Chunxi answered so readily that Wang began to hesitate again.
Wei Lingze has all the women he wants, so why does he keep pestering Chunxi? If he returns the Zhou family's betrothal gift, Awen won't be able to enter the Yun family school. Where can he find a better relative than the Zhou family in the future?
Wang was undecided for a moment. Then there was a knock on the courtyard door and Qingshu's voice came: "Miss Chunxi, are you home?"
"Here I am."
Chunxi hurried to open the door.
Qingshu came to return the food box, followed by Shen Qingyuan.
