Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Chapter 428: Not Promised yet

Du Manting left a letter and returned to Liangzhou. Mrs. Wang did not dare to delay, so she returned to her parents' home with the letter that day.

Mrs. Fan, Du Manting's grandmother, almost lost her temper after reading the letter. Thanks to Mrs. Wang's persuasion, nothing happened.

Mrs. Fan regained her composure and scolded Du Manting in disappointment.

"Why doesn't this child's temperament look like her mother's at all? It's such a big idea. She just left without thinking about how many years I waited for her to come back. Stay in the capital and find a good family to marry. What's wrong? What's good about a young girl staying in a place like Liangzhou all year round? I've delayed my marriage for nothing, so what good marriage can I have there?"

"This is a major event that concerns her life. Why does she not care so much? We are all doing this for her..."

Mrs. Wang sat on the edge and said to her while calming her down: "Mom, calm down. Man Ting has followed her father since she was a child. She has been raised with a boyish temperament and knows less about these things."

"It was precisely because I knew she didn't know much that I had to worry about her, but she was lucky enough to just slap her ass and leave." The more Mrs. Fan thought about it, the more panicked she became.

"It's my fault that I accidentally let her know that we were going to arrange a marriage for her, so I let her slip away early."

Mrs. Fan patted the letter on the case, "She can do such a thing. Sooner or later, she has to know. Even if you stop her, you can't stop her."

"Yes, Man Ting has her own skills. If she is determined to leave, I'm afraid she won't be able to stop her." Mrs. Wang thought about it, "Mom, everyone has their own destiny, and we have also considered it for her. Since she doesn’t want to, let her do it from now on.”

Mrs. Fan was silent for a moment,

Shaking his head, "No, your sister will leave her alone. I can't just watch her ruin her life."

"But Manting is gone. The capital and Liangzhou are thousands of miles apart. No matter how anxious you are, there is nothing you can do."

"If you leave, you can come back again. As long as you agree on the marriage to her and write a letter to her father, you will have to escort her back even if you are detained." Mrs. Fan also made up her mind.

Mrs. Wang was startled, "Does mother mean that she can marry the Dong family as usual?"

"A good young man waits for no one. He finally found a good match for her. She can't miss it. It doesn't matter if she's not here. Anyway, the two families regard the matchmaker's words as ordered by their parents."

Mrs. Wang still felt something was wrong, "But Man Ting's temper is too strong. I'm worried that even if we help her make a marriage arrangement, she won't agree. If the relationship with the Dong family is damaged, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

"She dares!" Mrs. Fan slapped the desk, "If she dares to disobey, she wants to piss me off to death!"

Mrs. Wang was startled, "Mom, please don't say such things. Man Ting is not the kind of heartless child, otherwise she wouldn't have come all the way back to celebrate your birthday."

"Then there's nothing to say. Go to Dong's house as soon as possible and ask them what they want. If they are willing, settle the matter as soon as possible and let her come back."

At this moment, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that Man Ting's temper was a bit like that of the old lady, and she couldn't persuade her to do anything she was determined to do.

"Okay, I'll do it when I get back."

Mrs. Wang agreed and thought about how to deal with this matter. Her family had no contact with the Dong family and only met Mrs. Dong once outside.

Two days later, the old lady’s waist problem was cured

It's almost done.

Dong Jiafu packed up the medicine box and stood up and said: "The old lady's attack period has passed. She can get more sunshine and go out for a walk. Starting tomorrow, I will prepare acupuncture for you with the master, so I won't come. The house is at home. If you feel unwell, you can have someone come to me at Hui'an Hall."

The old lady nodded, "It's been hard work during this period for you to run back and forth every day for my illness."

The old lady was grateful to her for being able to recover from her back pain so quickly, not to mention that she had found a cure for herself.

"Ji Bai picks you up every day, so it's not hard. Madam, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

"Before I perform acupuncture on you, I would like the master to take your pulse so that we can prescribe the right medicine."

The old lady doesn't mind this matter, "Just make the arrangements."

"Wait until the master and I are ready, then we will officially treat the old lady."

Dong Jiafu attaches great importance to this matter, not only because it may only be half successful, but also because it is also the first time she has used acupuncture to treat people. She does not want to make any mistakes in her skills, so she has to go back and prepare carefully.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Cui Qiyan's efficiency in handling official duties these days has astonished his colleagues. No matter how many official tasks he has on hand that day, he will complete them before the official appointment time.

However, today was an exception. He actually finished it half an hour late.

"Master Cui is leaving..." The colleague looked up and found that he was already outside the door, "Master Cui is worthy of being a martial artist. He moves faster than most of us."

"I don't know what urgent matters Mr. Cui has during this period, but he always leaves at this time."

"

I heard that the old lady of Duke Dingguo's mansion is ill. Master Cui is probably in a hurry to return to the mansion. "

"I didn't expect Mr. Cui to be so filial. It's really rare..."

Cui Qiyan couldn't hear their discussion and strode out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, worried that he would not be able to go back in time to see Dong Jiafu.

"Lord Dong, go slow——"

At the corner, Cui Qiyan saw his two superior officers not far ahead. No matter how anxious he was, he could not go past them at this time, so he stopped and wanted to wait for the two to leave before leaving.

Master Shicheng, the censor of Zuodu, caught up with Dong Jingtang.

Dong Jingtang turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Do you have any other instructions, Master Cheng?"

Adult is getting older, and after walking a few steps in a hurry, he was a little out of breath. He waved his hand and said: "No...it's not business..."

"If it's not a business matter, it's a private matter. Don't be impatient, Sir. Speak slowly."

Master Cheng calmed his breathing and continued: "Is your girl already eighteen years old? Does she have any family members?"

Dong Jingtang didn't expect that his boss would talk to him about his children's private affairs, "Yes, my daughter has not yet been married. I wonder why Sir Cheng asked about this matter?"

"That's great," Mr. Cheng said with a smile, "I have a nephew who I watched grow up. He is twenty-five years old and is now serving in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I want to marry Mr. Dong, but I don't know if you how about?"

Before Dong Jingtang could speak, Master Cheng added: "You can rest assured about his character, I can vouch for him."

"As adults, your nephew will definitely be good at learning from his family." Dong Jingtang paused, "It's just that I don't have the final say on this matter alone. I have to go back and discuss it with my wife."

Master Cheng nodded: "It should, it should, you go back and discuss it carefully.

This matter is not urgent, I am also entrusted by others, and I am my own son, so I will tell you this. "

"If your Excellency has nothing else to do, I will leave now and I will reply to you another day." Dong Jingtang said.

After the two left, Cui Qiyan stood up, his heart beating faster, and Dong Jingtang's words "My daughter has not promised to marry me yet" echoed in his ears...

She and Feng Jiyuan are not engaged?
