"It's you! What are you doing in my house? Get out!" Miss Lan shouted immediately, her voice hoarse.
"Yi'er!" The general's wife stepped forward and grabbed her. "The young marquis has come today to apologize for his second brother's past misdeeds. You can't be so rude!"
Lan Yi was panting heavily in her wife's arms, her chest heaving, her emotions running high. She glared at Ye Cunjin, wishing she could perish with him.
The general's wife said, "You and the young marquis have a good talk. I'll wait for you outside. He came with good intentions, so don't take your temper out on him, understand?"
The lady released Lan Yi and led the maids and servants out, leaving the courtyard to Lan Yi and Ye Cunjin.
After the courtyard gate closed, Lan Yi went into his room, and Ye Cunjin followed him in.
He said, "Miss Lan, I've come today to propose marriage to your parents, and they've already agreed—"
Before he could finish speaking, Lan Yi had already drawn her precious sword from her boudoir and thrust it at him, startling Ye Cunjin so much that he quickly dodged.
The two actually started fighting in the room.
Lan Yi had been training in the military camp with her father since she was a child. Under normal circumstances, it would not have been difficult for her to defeat Ye Cunjin.
However, she had suffered a great blow in the past few months, became depressed, and often stopped eating. Her health was very weak, and before long, Ye Cunjin knocked the longsword to the ground.
She was captured in Ye Cunjin's arms.
He stood behind Lan Yi and whispered in her ear, "Miss Lan, you can't see how much your parents have worried about your marriage. They were overjoyed when I proposed to you."
Lan Yi was furious: "You are utterly despicable, shameless, and shameless!"
She never expected that after that incident, Ye Cunjin would still have the audacity to come to her door to propose marriage.
How could there be such filthy, shameless people in the world?
Ye Cunjin said, "I was wrong before, and I admit it. So I've come today to make amends. I really want to marry you."
Lan Yi bit his lip, his face full of shame and indignation: "You didn't come to ask for my hand in marriage, you came to coerce me! What, the young master of the dignified Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, can't you marry the girl you desire!"
Ye Cunjin replied, "I really came to make amends. I bullied you, so I want to take responsibility for you. If my second brother hadn't suddenly appeared that day, I wouldn't have been so afraid that I did what I did. I really like you, that's why I couldn't help myself."
Lan Yi didn't believe his sweet talk. She snorted and tried to break free from his arms, but Ye Cunjin wouldn't let her. Instead, he held her even tighter.
"Miss Lan, are you unwilling?" he asked.
"You disgust me. I'd rather become a nun than marry you. Let go!!"
Ye Cunjin narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint in them. He said coldly, "Then who do you want to marry? My second brother? It's a pity he saw you being pinned down on the bed by me. That image will be etched in his mind forever, like a nail in his eye, like a thorn in his heart. He will not marry you."
Lan Yi's face turned pale and then flushed.
Ye Cunjin, however, held her tightly, like a cold, venomous snake, and continued to whisper in her ear:
"The matter of you being defiled by a man has caused quite a stir. Do you know that after the incident, no one came to the general's mansion to propose marriage? Your parents are so worried about your marriage that they've almost turned their hair white. It breaks my heart to see that."
"May I ask Miss Lan, if you don't marry me, who else can you marry? My Marquis of Zhongyong's family is no less prestigious than your General's family. Marrying me is already the best outcome for you right now."
"I can assure you that I will always respect you as my legal wife. After you marry into the Ye family, I will never let anyone cause trouble in front of you and will give you enough dignity."
Ye Cunjin believed he was full of sincerity.
Moreover, given Lan Yi's current situation, being able to marry him is already the best possible outcome.
Lan Yi had no reason to refuse.
The conditions he offered were tempting enough and showed her enough respect.
Unfortunately, Lan Yi had his back to him, so he couldn't see the raging anger in Lan Yi's eyes, a fire that seemed to wish for mutual destruction.
Ye Cunjin believed that the conditions were good enough and that Lan Yi would agree, so he lowered his guard.
Unexpectedly, Lan Yi grabbed his arm, opened her mouth, and bit his wrist hard.
One bite, and blood was visible; the taste of blood filled the mouth.
The intense pain was excruciating. Ye Cunjin slapped her away, but Lan Yi tore a piece of flesh off his wrist, causing it to bleed profusely.
Lan Yi was slammed onto a chair and rolled off. She pushed herself up, blood still dripping from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Ye Cunjin with a smile that was chilling, like a madwoman.
"You can defile me, you can destroy me, but you can never marry me!" Lan Yi said.
Ye Cunjin's temples throbbed with veins, but he still suppressed his anger and said fiercely, "I will marry you. What you did to me today was nothing more than venting your hatred and anger towards my second brother on me. I don't mind, I'm not angry, and I will still sincerely marry you and make you my wife!"
The dignified young marquis was hurt by the general and his wife's insane daughter, but he was not angry and still insisted on marrying her.
How could the general and his wife not be moved?
How could outsiders not praise him?
The general and his wife will personally escort Lan Yi to the bridal sedan chair at the Marquis's residence to welcome her. Once she is married, how she is treated is entirely up to him.
Ye Cunjin laughed, kissed the edge of the wound on his wrist, licked his own blood, and said, "Thank you, Miss Lan, for granting my request."
"You!" The moment Lan Yi understood his plan, his eyes widened in fury, and he rushed forward like a madman, ready to fight him!
