Zhong Yu smiled shyly when she heard this, but Jiang Yingmei's next words made her smile freeze on her face.

Jiang Yingmei said: "But he is just a guard. If the Marquis goes to the battlefield in the future, he will definitely go with him as a confidant. What will you do then? He will not be able to give you a stable life after all.

Besides, he is alone, without any help from his parents-in-law, and he only relies on a meager salary to live on, you..."

Jiang Yingmei looked at her daughter's ugly face, but she still didn't say the last words.

At this moment, she already knew in her heart that her daughter was emotional, but she was afraid that she couldn't have the final say.

Zhong Yu bit his lower lip and said unwillingly: "But as long as he is good to me, it is enough. If he goes to the battlefield, I will go too. Didn't you spend your whole life on the battlefield with your father?"

Jiang Yingmei let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "I don't want you to suffer the same hardships that mother has endured. Mother only hopes that you can marry into an ordinary family, have no worries about food and clothing, and live a peaceful and peaceful life."

Zhong Yu gritted his teeth stubbornly and looked at Jiang Yingmei with firm eyes.

"I have promised Chiyang that I will ask him to propose marriage in half a month."

Jiang Yingmei gently picked up the embroidery and continued her needlework.

"Whether you want to stay in college or not, it's fine if you like it. Mom has no objection. This is your own choice. It's up to you to decide what happens in the future. Mom is getting older and I can't worry about you for a few more years."

Tears welled up in Zhong Yu's eyes and she said softly: "Thank you, mother."

Jiang Yingmei smiled softly and teased: "It's embarrassing for such a big girl to cry."

Zhong Yu burst into laughter and said coquettishly: "When Chi Yang and I get married and we have two children, you and I can take care of them together."

Jiang Yingmei rolled her eyes at her and said angrily: "You are so embarrassed to say something that hasn't been revealed yet."

Having said that, she was really looking forward to it.

Zhong Yu carefully observed her expression and said with a smile: "I will have more children. If I give birth to a boy, I will give him the surname Zhong. This way our Zhong family can have successors. I believe Chiyang can understand."

Jiang Yingmei smiled faintly and did not reply.

Zhong Yu observed her expression and continued: "It would be great to have two boys and two girls."

She was trying to make Jiang Yingmei happy and give her some hope of continuing to live.

Ever since her murder of the child was exposed, she has become visibly less angry.

In fact, to be more precise, she had some mental problems after she killed Zhong Ling with her own hands.

Although she usually looks the same as before, as close relatives, they can still feel the changes in her.

This change is indescribable, but I can feel that she is still alive, but as if she is dead, like a walking zombie.

Zhong Yu also told Zhong Shian about this matter.

As the person next to him, Zhong Shi'an certainly couldn't have noticed it at all.

But they all thought at the time that Jiang Yingmei must have not gotten over the pain of losing her daughter.

So they were even more kind to her than usual, and even avoided talking about some sad and sad things.

But despite this, they still could not prevent the tragedy from happening.

They never expected that she would attack a newborn child.

They have no shame in staying in the Hou Mansion anymore.

But after this incident, Jiang Yingmei seemed to be okay again when she woke up.

But she was also in pain because she would often wake up crying in the middle of the night.

Maybe she regretted it after doing this.

If it weren't for Zhong Yu, she might have died long ago.

Zhong Yu thought, maybe if she looked forward to the day more, her situation would be much better?

In the past half month, Chiyang has been busy buying a house. He has not finished buying a suitable and satisfactory house. He also has to decorate and purchase furniture and other things. This is a laborious and complicated matter.

He ran around all day, choosing everything carefully. After all, this would be his and Zhong Yu's home from now on, so he couldn't care less.

So even though he was tired and had to worry about things in the house, he was still full of energy and started busy almost as soon as he opened his eyes.

Not only that, he also had to prepare things to propose marriage.

This is complicated. You need to prepare wedding candies, wedding cigarettes, wedding wine, wedding cakes, tea, red dates...

There is also a gift. There is no fixed amount for this kind of thing. It depends on family conditions. Chiyang prepared a hundred taels according to his ability.

In addition, I bought several sets of jewelry for Zhong Yu, as well as the documents needed for the marriage proposal, namely the engagement letter, the gift letter, and the welcoming letter. As the saying goes, the three books and the six pages are very complicated and complicated. He was busy and dizzy almost every day.

Zhong Yu stayed at home every day, counting the days with anticipation.

In the past half month, she had hardly seen Chiyang, and she felt more and more uneasy. The two had just confirmed their feelings, but Chiyang couldn't see anyone anymore. It was inevitable that she would not have random thoughts.

So she was even thinking, when the half-moon period comes, will Chiyang not come?

In fact, Chiyang also wanted to see her. He thought about it every moment, even in his dreams at night.

But holding back this momentary longing is for a better future.

After half a month of rushing, everything was finally ready.

On this day, Chi Yang put on new clothes and went to Zhong's house to propose marriage with the things he had prepared.

Zhong Yu had been waiting for this day for half a month, and she didn't even sleep well last night, so her face didn't look good, so she put on some makeup to cover it up.

When she walked out of the house, she realized that her parents had already gotten up, but she had gotten up very early, which showed that her parents had gotten up earlier than her.

Zhong Shian got up early and cleaned the front and back yards inside and out.

Jiang Yingmei had been busy in the kitchen early, and the smell of meat could be heard.

Zhong Yu immediately went into the kitchen to help.

Jiang Yingmei pushed her out in disgust and said, "Just stay there, I don't need you to do anything."

Zhong Yu said: "It's okay, mother, it's too hard for you alone."

Jiang Yingmei frowned and pushed her away.

"Hurry out and don't end up smelling like oil smoke. What are you wearing? Why don't you go change into something beautiful? Didn't Chiyang make you two outfits last time?"

Zhong Yu was unsure and muttered: "It's not certain whether they will come or not."

"What did you say?" Jiang Yingmei was so busy that she couldn't hear clearly.

Zhong Yu quickly said: "No, it's nothing."

Under Jiang Yingmei's constant urging, she had no choice but to leave the kitchen and walked absentmindedly in the backyard. After much deliberation, she decided to change her clothes.

She had already had the tailor make a dress out of the cloth that Chiyang had selected for her. She had been reluctant to wear it, so today she chose the pink one to put on.

After changing, she went to the front yard.

Zhong Shian saw that she had put on new clothes and a rare make-up, and the wrinkles on her smiling face were wrinkled.
