Meanwhile, Miss Wang Miaolan was thinking about what gift she should give Gao Yingjie when he got married.
A maidservant walked in. "Fourth Miss, the eldest young master has arrived."
Wang Miaolan was surprised. "Why is my older brother here at this time?"
"Didn't this servant ask?"
Young Master Wang had just taken a sip of tea when Wang Miaolan arrived with her maids. "Brother, why are you here at this hour? Aren't you busy right now?"
Young Master Wang didn't want to come at this time either, but he was afraid his mother would anger his father. "Let them all go downstairs, I have something to tell you."
"Alright." Wang Miaolan glanced at her maids. "You may all leave."
"yes."
After the maids left, Wang Miaolan looked at the eldest son of the Wang family and said playfully, "Big brother, did you make my sister-in-law angry again?"
“No.” Young Master Wang looked at Wang Miaolan and said, “When Yingjie went to the Yun family to get engaged to Yun Xiaoliu’s eighth aunt, Yun Xiaoliu found out that he had someone he liked and let him come back.”
Wang Miaolan was surprised to hear this. Just as she was about to say, "Brother Yingjie actually has someone he likes? How come I didn't know?" the eldest son of the Wang family continued, "Father asked him who he liked. He said he liked you, so Father betrothed you to him."
"What?!" Wang Miaolan's eyes widened instantly. "How could Father do this? Father making me marry Brother Yingjie is the same as making me marry you. You and I are siblings, and so is Brother Yingjie. How can siblings marry? No, I'm going to find Father."
After saying that, Wang Miaolan was about to go find General Wang.
Young Master Wang quickly pulled Wang Miaolan aside. "You and Yingjie are not siblings."
“Yes.” Wang Miaolan looked into the eyes of the eldest son of the Wang family and said, “Brother Yingjie and I are siblings. You all told me that Brother Yingjie was my brother from the moment I was born. I played with Brother Yingjie more than I played with you. I am closer to Brother Yingjie than to you. Brother Yingjie and I are siblings, that’s right.”
"Miao'er, don't rush. Listen to your elder brother. If you marry..."
Before Young Master Wang could finish speaking, Wang Miaolan interrupted, "I won't listen. Yingjie and I are like siblings; how can siblings get married?"
"Miao'er, calm down."
"I can't calm down. I need to go find my father. How could he do this?"
After saying that, Wang Miaolan shook off Young Master Wang and ran away.
Young Master Wang quickly chased after him. "Miao'er! Miao'er!"
The more he shouted, the faster Wang Miaolan ran.
General Wang was busy when Wang Miaolan's voice came from outside. "Father, Father, I have something urgent to tell you. Father, Father!"
She had barely finished speaking when the eldest son of the Wang family's voice came from outside. "Father, I'll take her back now."
“I won’t go back. Father, Father.”
"You go back with your older brother first."
"No. Father, Father."
"You go back with your older brother first."
...
The brother and sister were struggling when General Wang walked out of the house with a dark face. "Stop! Look at the state you're in!"
The brother and sister were too scared to move.
General Wang glared at the brother and sister and led them to his study. "Speak."
“Father, Yingjie and I are siblings.”
General Wang glared at Wang Miaolan and said, "Did your mother send you to find me?"
“No, I came here of my own accord. Father, Yingjie and I are siblings, and siblings cannot marry.”
"Brother? What brother? Your brother Yingjie was picked up by Father."
“I know. But I’ve always thought of Yingjie as my older brother. You want me to marry Yingjie, just like you want me to marry my older brother.”
"Same as what? Alright, you can go back now. It's settled then. Yingjie will be your husband from now on."
“Father, I cannot marry Yingjie.”
"If you can't, then get out! I don't have a daughter as disobedient as you."
"Father!" Wang Miaolan could hardly believe her ears.
Young Master Wang was filled with regret. He should have gone to persuade Gao Yingjie instead. "Father, please don't be angry. Miao'er just can't accept it right now."
General Wang glanced at Wang Miaolan. "You learned it all from your mother. Your mother has always been a snob."
“Father, I am not a snob. I truly consider Yingjie my brother. Father, you cannot let me marry Yingjie. You cannot.”
"Why not? I'm your father. You either marry him or get out."
"Father, I really..."
"Shut up."
"father……"
Wang Miaolan had barely uttered a word when the eldest son of the Wang family quickly said, "Father, I tried to persuade her, but she just can't seem to grasp the situation. Father, you're busy, you're busy."
After saying that, Young Master Wang pulled Xian Miaolan away.
Wang Miaolan wanted to speak, but the eldest son of the Wang family whispered, "I'll think of a way for you."
On the other side, Madam Wang gave Gao Yingjie another scolding.
Gao Yingjie persisted in not giving up.
Madam Wang looked at Gao Yingjie with disdain and said, "You really don't know your own limitations? Since you have no shame, then I'll take you to find Miao'er."
She and Miao'er are mother and daughter. If Miao'er likes Gao Yingjie, she will definitely tell her.
Before Madam Wang and Gao Yingjie even reached Wang Miaolan's courtyard, they encountered Wang Miaolan and her eldest son.
Wang Miaolan burst into tears as soon as she saw Gao Yingjie. "Brother Yingjie, my father told me to get out, my father doesn't want me anymore. Waaah..."
Gao Yingjie could disregard Madam Wang's humiliation, but he couldn't disregard Wang Miaolan's feelings. "Miao'er, don't cry. I'll go find the general right now."
"Yes." Wang Miaolan looked at Gao Yingjie while crying and said, "Brother Yingjie, we are siblings, and siblings cannot get married."
