Chapter 268 Affectionate Children
Guo Ziqian stepped forward to support his ancestor, carefully checked him to make sure he was fine, then quickly let go and respectfully saluted the Jiang family.
"Well, old lady!
Aunt Jiang is well!
Meet the Princess of Qi!"
It’s not that this poor kid doesn’t understand the rule of respecting the royal family first, it’s just that Jiang Wan deliberately stood behind the elders, and the meaning was very clear.
Old Wang curled her lips out of habit. She had never been very fond of this future son-in-law of her second grandson. He was far inferior to the one from the eldest daughter's family. It wasn't about status, but about how he spoke and acted.
How open and cheerful was Cheng Xiu when he first came home? He called her whatever she wanted to be called, and it was clear that he loved the eldest girl!
Not like this kid at all?
Every time they met, he was so polite that it made this old woman from the countryside feel uncomfortable.
Xu looked up at him, then at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren behind him, and the smile no longer reached her eyes.
"Get up first."
Jiang Wan also glanced at him indifferently.
"No need to be polite."
"yes!"
After standing up straight, Jiang Han looked at the girl he liked. He remembered his sister's warning before entering the house, so he just made eye contact with his fiancé and didn't say anything.
Xu looked at the mother and daughter who were standing behind Madam Guo a little timidly. She looked straight at Madam Guo with a sneer on her lips.
"Sister Bao, I remember when we parted on bad terms last time, you promised me that you would handle the matter quickly and would not delay the children's weddings.
But now, I look at you coldly and think that what you said is not quite right! What? Is the marriage between our two families going to be in turmoil? "
This chilly tone was definitely not a good tone, and it made Bao very anxious.
"Sister, please don't be angry. This is all my fault. I didn't handle it properly.
But don't worry, I still say the same thing, I have the final say on my son's marriage!
You also know that I have always treated Han Jie'er as my own daughter, and I will never let her suffer any loss or injustice in the future!"
"Oh, who doesn't say nice things? Sister Bao, you don't have to force nice words on me. After all, you and I are both the mistresses of a mansion. You should also understand the rules of looking up to marry a daughter and looking down to marry a wife."
Mrs. Xu looked at her future son-in-law and sighed inwardly, but she didn't give in at all.
"Marriage is a major event that unites two families. You must not rush into it now, or you will end up with resentment in the future.
You, the Guo family, just give me a definite answer.
If you still sincerely want to marry, let's resolve the matter today. Otherwise, let's part ways amicably and don't ruin the friendship between the masters."
"Sister, calm down. I definitely want to marry Han Jie'er as my daughter-in-law! Han Jie'er, please persuade your mother not to be angry. We can discuss everything..."
Jiang Han has always been a crybaby and spoiled child, but she's not a weakling. Having an older sister like her wouldn't allow her to become a softie.
So the girl cried so hard that I felt sorry for her, and she replied clearly.
"Parents' orders cannot be disobeyed. I, I listen to my mother..."
"Jiang Han, don't cry."
Guo Ziqian looked at the girl he loved crying so pitifully. He clenched his fists in pain and involuntarily took a step forward and met the eyes of Princess Qi who was beside his fiancée.
The other person's half-smile made it hard for him not to be reminded of how tough this auntie had been since she was a child. So the leg that wanted to go up to comfort his sweetheart was firmly nailed to the ground.
"Guo Ziqian, can you still marry me?"
"able!"
Perhaps it was because the confident tone was so convincing that the silly second girl nodded pitifully.
"Then you should quickly resolve the matter and stop dragging it out. I'm almost at a loss to explain it to my family."
"Okay, stop crying and be obedient. It won't look good if you keep crying."
The two young children, who were always affectionate and loyal to each other, were talking to each other, with the eldest, third, and fourth Jiang brothers standing between them, not knowing how to move aside. The two Jiang brothers looked at the second Jiang brother, who had been fooled again, and looked at their eldest sister with a bit of a pain in their teeth.
Jiang Wan still didn't say anything, but just watched Guo Ziqian and his sister getting along, frowning slightly in embarrassment.
The lawsuit here has not been settled yet, and the woman next to them, who looks sick at first glance, kneels down in front of the Jiang family with tears in her eyes.
"Second Miss Jiang, I know you are the daughter of a high-ranking official. You are beautiful and favored by Brother Qian, and your family is also reliable.
You have everything, so why can't you have some pity on my Xiao He?
She's not good-looking, nor is she as respectable and capable as you. She'll never dare to climb over your head in this life. Just treat her like a servant girl and serve her under your command, okay?
Please!
"Xiao He, kneel down and kowtow to your cousin-in-law, begging her to accept you, quickly!"
The obedient Geng Xiaohe knelt beside her mother, crying and kowtowing to Jiang Han. The young, thin girl just cried without saying a word, looking both honest and pitiful.
"No! You, get up, don't worship me..."
Jiang Han was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly, but he couldn't stop the other party's actions at all.
Jiang Wan quickly pulled her sister behind her and stepped forward to accept the kowtow from Guo and her daughter. However, her expression had completely fallen.
"Madam Guo, what is your intention, the Guo family? Are you planning to show weakness and force the Jiang family to accept your position?"
Looking at the candidate for brother-in-law who he thought was good in every way, Jiang Wan now really wanted to give him a whip.
"Guo Ziqian, do you remember what I told you before? If you can't be loyal to my sister, then don't mess with her! What do you want to do now?"
"You misunderstood! I've already made an agreement with my family that my cousin will be my biological sister from now on, and I will always be her biological brother, but there will absolutely be no romantic involvement between us!"
After Guo Ziqian finished explaining anxiously, he looked at his aunt and cousin who were kneeling on the ground and crying as if they were about to die. He felt so angry that he wanted to jump up and down.
"Aunt, have you forgotten what you promised your nephew just now?
I have sworn before the gods and Buddhas that no matter whether you are here or not, I will definitely take care of Xiaohe as if she were my own sister!
Didn’t we already agree on this just now?
What are you doing now? Get up! "
Mrs. Guo, who had already reacted, immediately rushed over and hugged her grandson's hand, no longer willing to care about the old feudal lord's dignity. In other words, she was just throwing in the towel.
"Brother Qian, your aunt is not in good health and won't live for a few days! For the sake of your dying aunt, can you please nod and accept your cousin? Let your aunt pass away in peace..."
