From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Thinking of this, Tang Yue'er became even more excited: "I won't marry, I can't marry, I..." Hearing her yelling, the two servants covered her mouth and dragged her away.

It was quiet outside, and the old marquis continued, "The gift from Lord Tang is just right for the time being. My son has reached the age of marriage, but there has never been a suitable woman around him. Although he has asked for it, he has never been able to get it. Lord Tang's gift of a girl at this time is exactly what my wife and I have been thinking and worrying about, and it has resolved our worries."

The more Zhou Ziyue heard him say this, the more panicked he became. He shouted, "Dad, I..."

Before he could finish his words, the old marquis turned around and glared at him fiercely, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were suppressed.

His thoughts do matter.

But can it be more important than the prince’s affairs?

Zhou Ziyue had failed to recruit new people for the prince in Yunxiang Tower before, and now his recruitment of officials in the court was ruined because of his little thing. How could that be tolerated? Did the prince not want to kill their entire family?

There is no choice in this matter!

Zhou Ziyue understood what the old marquis meant. He gritted his teeth and swallowed his words.

Tang Jiang hadn't recovered from his shock yet. He just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect the Marquis's Mansion to actually agree. Isn't this just like a dream? His Yue'er is still a concubine's daughter. How could she marry him like this?

"My Lord." Tang Jiang asked, "Then Yue'er is marrying Prince Zhou..."

"That's right. Our mansion will have a sedan chair carried by eight people to welcome the second young lady of the Tang family to be our principal wife!" The old marquis emphasized, "And I will ask the prince to be the witness for the two of them." After he finished speaking, he looked around at everyone, "The prince is a humble person, and he is very caring towards his subordinates. With the prince's blessing, I believe the two of them will be happy and content."

The prince is the witness?

Tang Jiang's position had always been on the edge of the court, with no achievements, and he was barely surviving in the political arena. He could not communicate with such a core figure at all. Now that the old marquis said this, he immediately felt that he was very close to the prince. He was so excited that his heart was beating "thump!" "thump!"

Tang Wanru watched everything, a hint of darkness flashing in her eyes.

After she got into trouble in her previous life, it was because Tang Jiang's status was marginalized and he was willing to sacrifice his own family for her that the Tang family was saved.

How could he escape this time?

At the banquet, when others saw that the Tang family received such a generous response after presenting their gift, those officials who had been skeptical and wait-and-seeing also presented gifts to the old marquis, and the scene became lively.

Seeing so many people paying homage to the prince, a smile appeared on the old marquis's face.

Late at night, Marquis Mansion.

"I won't marry her. I will never marry her!" Zhou Ziyue sat coldly on the chair, making his attitude clear.

Mrs. Du did not go to the front tonight. Seeing Zhou Ziyue's serious expression, she also felt very strange. Didn't the Tang family's marriage fall through before? Why is it happening again?

"What's going on? Didn't the eldest daughter of the Tang family refuse the marriage?" Mrs. Du asked curiously.

Facing Zhou Ziyue's attitude, the old marquis was very calm. He took a sip of tea before explaining to Madam Du: "The legitimate daughter refused the marriage. This time, Tang Jiang is offering the concubine's daughter of the Tang family, the girl named Tang Yue'er."

Tang Yueer?!

When Mrs. Du heard these three words, she got goose bumps all over her body. Wasn't that the woman who stole her necklace and had an affair with Zhou Ziyue in the warehouse?

She was simply a little bitch who had never seen the world. Which well-educated woman would steal other people's things and drag a man to a warehouse to have sex? When she thought of Tang Yue'er's behavior, Mrs. Du felt sick in her chest.

"You let Ziyue marry that woman." Mrs. Du was so embarrassed that she couldn't say anything. "Is there no one to marry? Can't you marry someone else? That girl is so coarse and lowly that I can't even look at her. How can I..."

Before Mrs. Du could finish her words, the old marquis rolled his eyes at her, so she had to interrupt him.

"Who is not lowly in your eyes? You said before that the eldest daughter of the Tang family is lowly? According to what you said, will Zi Yue still get married? Will the Marquis's Mansion need a daughter-in-law?" said the old marquis.

"But..." Mrs. Du simply couldn't say it. In her eyes, Tang Wanru was indeed lowly, but at least she had the backbone to not bow down. What kind of a person was Tang Yue'er?

Mrs. Du really felt uncomfortable, but since the old marquis did not allow her to say anything, she did not dare to say anything.

Zhou Ziyue saw that Mrs. Du had stopped talking, but he still insisted on his opinion: "I have no fate with the second young lady of the Tang family. I will not marry her."

His reiteration directly angered the old marquis. He placed the teacup on the table with a "bang!" and the tea splashed out. He angrily said, "Zhou Ziyue, what on earth are you going to do?!"

"Are you going to rebel?!"

"Before you said you wanted to marry the legitimate daughter of the Tang family, we went there three times to present the invitation and prepare the gifts, but in the end, your unclear relationship with the concubine of the Tang family ruined the marriage. Not only was the marriage ruined, but your mother, I, and the Yongning Marquisate also lost face."

"You said last time that you were wrong and that you were willing to follow my instructions and do your job well." The old marquis said, "Now you want to refuse the marriage again? I just told you that the Tang family is offering a gift! If we don't accept their gift, others will not offer their loyalty to the prince. This is blocking the prince's way, don't you understand?!"

"I know." Zhou Ziyue was also very angry. He held back his temper and said, "But I'm not rejecting the Tang family's kiss this time. I'm rejecting Tang Yue'er's kiss. If it was Tang Wanru, I would never reject it!"

Tang Wanru! Tang Wanru!

Zhou Wucai got even angrier when he heard this: "Don't you know how Tang Wanru's marriage ended?"

"I……"

"Besides!" Zhou Wucai was so angry at the loser Zhou Ziyue that his eyes were about to burst. "Zhou Ziyue! Tell me what is the difference between Tang Yue'er and Tang Wanru! Why do you have to have Tang Wanru?!"

Zhou Ziyue was intimidated by his aura.

His hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves.

What's the difference?

He loves Tang Yue'er and cannot let her suffer even a little! He wants Tang Wanru to suffer in her place!

That's the difference!

If he didn't get Tang Wanru, he could marry someone else.

But if he married Tang Yue'er, she would not be able to escape. She would have to bear all the sufferings of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion in the future. How could she, such a weak person, bear it? How could she bear it?

"Different, they are just different!" Zhou Ziyue said with his head down without looking up, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Wucai and Du, "I will not marry her, and no one can force me to marry her!" After saying that, Zhou Ziyue got up and walked out.

Zhou Wucai was so angry that he picked up the teacup and smashed it to the ground with a "bang".
