Chapter 36: The Poisonous Tongue Childhood General 4
Jiang Wan is not someone who will be easily defeated.
Then she continued her efforts. Whenever she saw Qi Yu coming to the house on the screen, she would go to stop him, but Qi Yu became more and more distant from her.
Not only Qi Yu felt something was wrong with this frequency, but even the Jiang family members noticed something unusual.
It was not convenient for Grand Tutor Jiang to intervene in his daughter's emotional affairs, so he could only send Madam Jiang to test the waters.
The successive setbacks made Jiang Wan very depressed. When Mrs. Jiang came over, she saw Jiang Wan sighing.
She remained calm and quietly walked behind Jiang Wan...
"Wanwan has really grown up and started to worry about love."
Jiang Wan was startled. She covered her chest and looked at Madam Jiang in a reproachful manner, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Madam Jiang smiled, "You still want to hide it from me? Who can't see your feelings for Qi Yu? You even helped him review his lessons to repay a favor. How could you come up with such a lame excuse?"
Jiang Wan blushed with shame, and she became even more relentless, "Mom, don't talk nonsense, I don't like Qi Yu, and I don't have any feelings for him."
"I didn't say you like Qi Yu, why don't you confess?"
Listening to Mrs. Jiang's teasing, Jiang Wan felt embarrassed and angry, and simply held his face in his hands and kept silent.
After a moment, Madam Jiang calmed down and said slowly, "Our Jiang family has always been at the center of controversy. Any disturbance can cause a storm in the court. Your brother has already started a family, and your parents are most worried about your marriage.
In my and your father's opinion, although the Duke Qi's Mansion has been in decline for a long time, our Jiang family is not short of power, so it would be great to have a relative who has a reputation but no real power."
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up instantly. If her parents agreed with her and Qi Yu being together, then she would no longer have to look for a chance encounter whenever she got the chance.
There are too many rules and regulations in this era, and it is difficult for her to leave the house or meet Qi Yu alone.
That's great. If I could really marry him, we wouldn't have to worry about seeing each other every day.
"Wanwan, this is an important matter in your life, you must think it through. As long as you are sure of your feelings, no matter what the result is, Dad and Mom will help you."
Jiang Wan felt her cheeks were burning like fire. Finally, she followed her own heart and nodded slowly under Mrs. Jiang's teasing eyes.
......
Jiang Wan has been in a good mood ever since he talked with Mrs. Jiang that day.
That day, she was taking a nap in the yard when she saw Qi Yu rushing in hurriedly.
"Jiang Wan! It was you who asked your parents to go to my house to propose marriage?"
Seeing that Qi Yu looked unhappy, Jiang Wan was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't, and that it would be bad if it got to his parents' ears through the people below.
Jiang Wan asked the maids and servants to leave, leaving only the two of them in the yard.
Jiang Wan looked at him helplessly, "Did something happen again?"
Qi Yu frowned, his tone full of impatience, "There is no way I will marry you, you should give up this thought, lest it really gets out in the open and damages your reputation."
After hearing this, Jiang Wan could no longer hold back and the corners of his mouth drooped.
"Why? Give me a reason."
Jiang Wan just stared at him straight, she didn't believe that Qi Yu didn't like her.
Qi Yu said calmly, "There is no reason. I don't like you, and I am not worthy of your love. Let's just leave it at that. Don't mention it again in the future."
After saying this, Qi Yu turned and left, leaving Jiang Wan with only a resolute back.
Jiang Wan stood there in a daze.
There will be no problem with the system. No matter how slow Qi Yu is, he will not be unable to recognize his feelings now. There is only one possibility left, that is, he has his own difficulties and reasons for having to reject her.
Jiang Wan decided to try one last time.
She took two quick steps and grabbed Qi Yu's sleeve.
"Qi Yu, I don't believe that you don't have me in your heart. I really, really like you and want to be with you. You..."
Qi Yu paused, and the next moment, he pushed Jiang Wan's hand away and said coldly: "Miss Jiang, please respect yourself."
"Qi Yu!" Looking at his fleeing back, Jiang Wan raised her voice, "If you leave this time, I will marry someone else, and there will be no possibility between us..."
But Qi Yu left without stopping for a moment.
Jiang Wan was already in tears, "Coward, Qi Yu you coward, you have lost me forever..."
Physical emotions cannot be deceived. Jiang Wan was so sad that he developed a fever that night.
Mrs. Jiang was so distressed that she kept crying. What happened during the day still reached their ears, and now they were scolding Qi Yu for being ungrateful.
"Wanwan, don't like him anymore. There are many men better than him. Why do you have to choose Qi Yu alone?"
"Qi Yu, this ungrateful bastard, my sister is so nice, but he dared to reject her! Don't even think about coming to our house again. I will beat him up every time I see him!"
Only Master Jiang still maintained some rationality. "Fortunately, the matter did not become a big deal. Only our two families know about it. I have already informed the Duke's Mansion that this matter will not be leaked, and Wanwan's reputation will not be affected. Qi Yu is an unlucky man, but our Wanwan will still marry her ideal husband!"
Jiang Wan felt hot all over and had a severe headache.
She really didn't expect her body to be so fragile, but she was holding her anger in her heart and fell ill that night.
But her parents and brother were still very angry, so she could only hold on despite her illness and comfort them to go back first. Otherwise, if they kept quarreling, she wouldn't be able to rest well, right?
In this way, Jiang Wanyi was ill for half a month. When he woke up, he heard that Qi Yu had come to the Grand Tutor's Mansion several times, but was driven out by his brother every time.
Jiang Zhijin was really afraid that she would get sick from staying up all the time, so as it happened to be the Lantern Festival, he simply took her out for an outing.
During the Lantern Festival, lights and decorations are hung everywhere. From royals and nobles to peddlers, everyone goes out to enjoy the lanterns.
There were a lot of people at the lantern festival, and Jiang Zhijin followed her closely.
Huge lantern wheels, lantern trees, lantern poles, fish-shaped lanterns and other styles of lanterns were everywhere. Jiang Wan couldn't help but stare in amazement. The depression that had been accumulating in his heart for many days was also swept away at this moment.
"Brother, look!" Jiang Wan said in surprise, pointing at the frog-shaped lantern not far away.
After not hearing Jiang Zhijin's response for a long time, Jiang Wan turned back in confusion and saw him frowning and glaring fiercely at a place not far away.
Following his gaze, Jiang Wan bumped into Qi Yu.
Since he had been discovered, Qi Yu didn't hide anymore and just walked towards this side openly.
How could Jiang Zhijin let him have his wish? He simply blocked him out and didn't let him get close to Jiang Wan.
They were all well-known figures, but now they are like children. You push me and I come back. You push me again and I come back again...
Jiang Wan: ...
"Okay, brother, let him come over. I also want to know what he is going to do."
After hearing Jiang Wan's words, Jiang Zhijin walked back reluctantly. Despite this, he did not give Qi Yu the chance to get close to his sister. He stood directly between the two of them. Any words he wanted to say had to pass through his ears before they could be conveyed.
Jiang Wan shook his head and looked at him helplessly.
When he turned to Qi Yu again, there was only a cold look on his face.
"Jiang Wan, I heard that you were sick for a while. Are you feeling better now?" Qi Yu asked cautiously. Looking at Jiang Wan's face which was thinner than before, the guilt in his eyes almost overflowed.
"Much better, no need to worry about it."
Jiang Wan's attitude was cold, and Qi Yu didn't know what to say.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Wan pulled his brother and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he met an uninvited guest.
"Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang, what a coincidence, I can actually meet you here..."
Murong Ci was wearing a purple brocade robe, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. There was a gentle smile in his clear eyes, and he was very handsome.
