The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Seeing that his goal was finally achieved, Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

Then he put on a gentle expression and pretended to comfort her, "My child, this is the right thing to do! We are an honest family and we can't do things that would make people point fingers at us!

The Jiang family is so powerful. If they hear the rumors, it would be strange if they don’t come after us!

For a girl, the most important thing is to behave properly. You must not give people a chance to talk about you and let your in-laws and husband look down on you!

But if we go back to Qingtang Town, as long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know about this. Then I'll find you a good family that knows your background well, and it's better than going to that rich family and suffering!"

Li patiently guided Qinghe and returned to her usual gentle and loving motherly self.

As soon as Qinghe Furong and his brother left, Yao Bilian came in from outside. As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, how is it? Did she agree?"

Li snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "Although it took some effort, it's not a big problem! It's those two little brats who are in the way and causing trouble! After this is over, we have to find a way to get rid of them!"

When Yao Bilian heard that her mother had taken care of it, she couldn't help but smile with joy. She said in a hoarse voice, "This is not easy. We have the leverage over them. Are we afraid that they won't obey us? But we need to carefully calculate the betrothal gift!"

The issue of the bride price just touched Li's heart, making her frown and sigh!

The dozens of boxes of betrothal gifts in the wing room were all top-notch stuff, all kinds of rare treasures and precious items that she would never dare to dream of. Asking her to return them intact would be more painful than killing her!

Li couldn't help but look unhappy and said, "Lian'er, it's all because of you that I have to give the betrothal gifts back to them! Otherwise, I would never agree to that princess no matter what!"

Yao Bilian said coquettishly, "Of course! Who is your biological daughter? Apart from me, who else would agree with you? Do you really expect that girl to take care of you in your old age? Otherwise, do you still count on those two little beggars?"

Li rolled her eyes at her, "It's good that you know! Go, keep a close eye on that girl. I'm going to the wing room. Don't let her go to the cross courtyard!"

Yao Bilian was a little surprised. "Didn't you say that it should be returned intact?"

Li smiled and said softly, "Silly child! That's what you say, but things are dead, people are alive! The Jiang family is so rich, why would they care about these things? As long as there are no major mistakes, why would they check them one by one?"

Yao Bilian nodded in agreement, and the mother and daughter went their separate ways.

Li left the upper room and walked towards the courtyard where the betrothal gifts were stored.

She came to the door, looked back and saw that there was no one around, so she quietly took out the key from her clothes, unlocked the door, went in, and gently bolted the door from the inside.

Bilian came to the back garden, pretending to admire the flowers, her eyes fixed on the direction of Qinghe's boudoir...

But until dark, Qinghe still didn't come out.

After a meal, Li came out of the side room on tiptoe, carrying a large bundle in her arms and returned to the house...

The next day.

Qinghe didn't sleep well that night and looked a little haggard.

But today I have to go to Magistrate Tian’s house.

Mrs. Tian wanted to make a new dress to attend her in-laws' birthday banquet, so she sent her servants to invite them early in the morning.

Qinghe dressed up casually and took a carriage to Tian's house.

The maid led her into the upper room. Mrs. Tian, ​​who was about fifty years old and had a head full of pearls and jade, was very happy and said with a smile, "Oh, Qinghe, you are finally here! Ever since I saw Mrs. Guo's clothes, I felt that the clothes I made before were not good!

This time, Bin'er's father-in-law's birthday party, my mother-in-law is famous for her dressing up, and I can't embarrass my old man no matter what! So I'll leave it all to you!"

Qing He bowed with a smile and said softly and clearly, "Thank you, Madam Tian, ​​for your appreciation! I will do my best and make sure you will have a great time at the birthday banquet!"

Mrs. Tian smiled brightly when she heard this. "That's great!"

Qinghe smiled and after drinking tea with Mrs. Tian, ​​she took out a tape measure and carefully measured Mrs. Tian's figure. She also carefully asked Mrs. Tian about her favorite styles. Finally, she picked out a luxurious and elegant flowered satin fabric from more than a dozen kinds of fabrics.

After all the work was done and the time for the fitting was agreed upon, Qinghe said goodbye and left.

The carriage went all the way to Yao's house.

When Qinghe got off the car, she found the magnificent carriage parked at the door.

Several capable and sturdy guards and a middle-aged butler stood on both sides of the carriage.

Qinghe knew whose car this was.

She had sat there the last time she went to Green Willow Pavilion.

She really didn't expect that the other party would come here on his own initiative before she even went to Jiang's house.

A guard lifted the carriage curtain, and Jiang Yaonian got out of the carriage. He smiled at Qinghe and said, "Are you back?"

I don't know why, but Qing He suddenly felt that Jiang Yaonian was very kind at this moment! Just like a very close and familiar person!

She stared at him blankly, unable to utter a word, feeling as if they were meeting again after a long separation.

Although she argued with her mother and Bilian, when she was alone in the dead of night, the fear, fragility, confusion and helplessness in her heart would still surge into her heart like a tide!

This deep fear and grievance quietly turned into tears in her clear eyes the moment she saw Jiang Yaonian!

She tried to control herself and called out softly with a choked voice, "Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yaonian looked at her in surprise, thinking that he must be hallucinating! Why did he feel like she was crying?

Moreover, he seemed to be less haggard than the last time I saw him... Could it be that she was so happy to see him suddenly that she cried tears of joy?

However, his reasoning made him immediately reject this idea, knowing that there must be a reason...

But why is that?

When he thought of this, Jiang Yaonian suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked behind him. No, he did not bring Zhao Cheng out today!

It seems that she wasn't crying because of joy at seeing Zhao Cheng!

Jiang Yaonian felt a little relieved!

He walked up to Qing He and asked softly, "Why are you crying? Did someone make you unhappy?"

Qinghe wiped away her tears and shook her head.

She felt like she had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start. The two of them just stood there, staring at each other...

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from the door, "Hey, Qinghe, you're finally back! Master Jiang has been waiting for you for a while!"

Li came out with Bilian and the maids, and with a big smile on her face, she let Jiang Yaonian in: "Mr. Jiang, please come in!"

After that, Li looked at Qinghe again and said with a hint of meaning: "Qinghe, don't you have something to say to Mr. Jiang?"

After hearing this, Qing He lowered her eyes sadly, and a shadow floated across her face...

Jiang Yaonian looked at her in surprise, and asked inquiringly, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Qing He slowly raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yaonian, and said softly, "Yes."

Jiang Yaonian nodded and said to her, "Come with me."

The two got in the car and left.

Li looked at the carriage going away, sneered, then turned and went in. Then Bilian and the maids followed her in.

The magnificent carriage stopped by the river.

When getting off the car, Jiang Yaonian stretched out his hand like last time.

Qing He hesitated for a moment, pretended not to see it, held onto the shaft, and carefully stepped onto the stepping stool to get off the cart.

This subtle change did not escape Jiang Yaonian's eyes. He was slightly startled at first, then he withdrew his hand calmly, and the two of them slowly walked along the river together.

There are green willows on both sides of the river bank, the river water is clear and covered with pebbles, and fish swim freely in the water.

Qinghe looked at the weeping willows by the river and suddenly remembered that the place where they met last time was called Green Willow Pavilion. She wondered if it was a coincidence.

But that time they were discussing getting married, and this time they were discussing breaking off an engagement. Although they were two completely different things, they were equally difficult...

After walking for a while, Qing He suddenly stopped, looked at the flowing river, and said softly: "Mr. Jiang, there is something I want to tell you...but I don't know how to start."

Jiang Yaonian glanced at her and said calmly, "Are you trying to tell me that you've changed your mind again?"

Qing He showed a surprised look on her face and asked, "How did you know?"

Jiang Yaonian smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Can I ask, what is the reason?"

In fact, Qinghe has thought about this reason for a long time...

You can neither tell the truth nor be reasonable. The most important thing is to take both parties' face into consideration and not let the other party get angry as soon as they hear you!

The difficulty can be seen from this. If it is not handled properly, it will bring unexpected troubles.

Qing He considered carefully and said, "Mr. Jiang, our status is too different. I am just an embroiderer from the countryside. I cannot marry a noble man like you who has a distinguished family background. So, Mr. Jiang, please reconsider this marriage..."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yaonian looked at her calmly and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, this marriage is not decided by me!"

"what?"

Qinghe was stunned for a moment!

Jiang Yaonian's erratic behavior messed up all the preparations she had made along the way!

She stammered, "But...but..."

Jiang Yaonian stared at her and asked, "Are you going to tell me that you want to break up the engagement?"
