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

"What, Tang Wanru?!"

When Bai Songrong said this, Tang Jiang suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Yes." Bai Songrong did not move. He took a sip of tea and said, "Back then, the Bai family and the Tang family agreed to marry their children to each other. Although the one to be married was the youngest daughter of the Tang family, we can't marry a woman who seduced men outside her home, right?"

"We are businessmen in the Bai family, and we value our reputation the most. If this happens, where will our Bai family put our reputation?" Bai Songrong glanced at the Liu mother and daughter calmly, "If outsiders knew about this, how would we be able to do business?"

"But the arranged marriage cannot be cancelled, so the eldest daughter of the Tang family, Tang Wanru, has to marry."

Tang Wanru! It's Tang Wanru again!

Tang Yue'er felt that her breathing was not smooth, she almost bit her own teeth to pieces!

Why is Tang Wanru everywhere!

Tang Jiang was embarrassed for a moment, and Liu said hurriedly: "What do you mean by seducing? Young Master, you may have misunderstood."

"What's going around is just a rumor. How could you believe it, young master?" Liu couldn't wait to explain. "My Yue'er is innocent. It's nonsense to seduce a man. We are also victims."

"It was the Prince of Yongning Marquisate who was rude to Yue'er. You know, once something like this happens, it is bad for the woman. The Prince of Yongning Marquisate also pushed all the responsibility onto Yue'er for his own sake. Yue'er suffered a lot of injustice and was extremely frightened."

Liu emphasized: "What exactly happened? The second son of the Bai family also saw it at the Prince of Wei's mansion. He should know it better than anyone else!"

Liu said, "My Lord, the Bai family was originally engaged to my daughter Yue'er. Now Yue'er has been wronged. Others can ridicule Yue'er, but the Bai family cannot add insult to injury."

"The head of the Bai family and my master decided on this marriage out of friendship. Now they are rejecting this marriage because Yue'er was bullied. Isn't this abandoning this friendship? Isn't this going against the original intention of this marriage?"

"In this case, what should we Yue'er do?" Liu said as she pressed her handkerchief against the corners of her eyes and wiped away her tears.

"Yes, Song Rong." Tang Jiang also said, "If this is done this way, the Bai family would be a little inhumane and not considerate of the friendship they had in the past."

Friendship?

Bai Songrong found these two words extremely ridiculous. If the Bai family valued friendship, they would not have let the letter they submitted fall into oblivion!

Now that Tang Yue'er is in trouble, she brings up this friendship.

Looking at the family's confident words, Bai Songrong's face turned ugly.

But it would be inhumane to refuse directly at this time.

Seeing Bai Songrong's hesitation, Liu continued, "My dear, my daughter Yue'er has a gentle and lovely personality. She also studies music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If she marries into the Bai family, she will be able to manage the household well, help the second son of the Bai family, and manage the Bai family well."

"Yes." Tang Jiang also said, "Yuer is smart and lovely, she is really a good match for the second son of the Bai family."

Bai Songrong frowned, unable to think of a more forceful refusal.

At this moment, a noble and deep male voice sounded: "Master Tang, the second young lady of the Tang family is indeed very outstanding, but I am afraid she is not destined to be with me."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Bai Yanli, dressed in a darkly embroidered black robe, walking out from behind the inner curtain.

"Yan Li."

Both Tang Jiang and Liu's eyes lit up. Bai Yanli had an upright figure, proud facial features, an unparalleled handsome face, outstanding temperament and noble air, which even outshined Bai Songrong.

"What?" Tang Jiang asked, "Second Master, you and Yue'er are destined to be engaged, how can you say you are not destined to be together?"

"Master Tang." Bai Yanli walked out and sat down nonchalantly. "Have you heard the new rumors outside today?"

"Rumors?" Tang Jiang had been preparing to come to the Bai family early in the morning, and he really didn't know what rumors were out there?

Bai Yanli was not surprised by his expression. He said slowly, "There are rumors outside that Miss Tang had physical contact with me at the Prince Wei's Mansion, which ruined Miss Tang's reputation."

what?

Such a rumor actually spread again this morning?

Tang Jiang frowned.

"Master Tang, this is my fault." Bai Yanli said, "At that time, I was trying to prevent Miss Tang from falling into the lake, so I didn't know how to control my hands and hugged Miss Tang too tightly, and others saw it."

"This..." Tang Jiang felt confused. When Tang Yue'er was in the Prince Wei's mansion, she had contact with a man outside of her family. How come Tang Wanru also had contact with him?

"For this matter, I can't just put the blame on the woman like the prince of Yongning Marquis's mansion did." Bai Yanli said, looking up at Tang Jiang, "Lord Tang wouldn't want me to do this, right?"

"Of course!" It would be fine if Tang Yue'er alone had her reputation ruined, but he didn't want both of them to have their reputation ruined.

"So, in order to save Miss Tang's reputation and stop the rumors, Master Tang announced to the public that Miss Tang and I had an engagement long ago and that I was her fiancé. This way, the engagement between our two families would continue, and at the same time, no one would dare to criticize me for saving her from falling into the water."

what?

Liu and Tang Yue'er almost jumped up. Isn't this too ridiculous?

"This..." Tang Jiang was also in a dilemma. No matter what the rumors were, Tang Wanru was going to marry into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. In this case, who else could marry Zhou Ziyue?

Prince Zhou specifically asked for Tang Wanru.

But he was also afraid that what if Tang Wanru’s reputation would also be ruined?

He was in a real dilemma.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Bai Yanli laughed and said, "Why, Master Tang, do you think both of you have a bad reputation?"

"Of course not." Tang Jiang said hesitantly, "Thank you, Second Young Master, for being responsible for Wanru's reputation. But... Wanru has already been found."

"Master Tang." Bai Yanli sat there and interrupted him coldly, "If I remember correctly, you should be talking about the marriage proposal from Yongning Marquis' Mansion some time ago, right?"

"Exactly."

"I remember that Miss Tang refused the marriage proposal from Yongning Marquis's Mansion." Bai Yanli asked coldly, "Does Lord Tang call a refusal an engagement?"

"It's not a rejection." Tang Jiang explained hurriedly, "It's just that the Yongning Marquis's Mansion is not ready. Prince Zhou said that he will come back to propose marriage when he is ready."

Bai Yanli couldn't help but laugh: "Master Tang, he prepared his own things, and he didn't say that others couldn't get engaged to Miss Tang during this period."

"Besides, Lord Tang, the prince of Yongning Marquis's mansion made advances on your second daughter in the Prince of Wei's mansion, and you still want to wait for him to come and ask for your eldest daughter?" Bai Yanli couldn't help laughing. "Why, Lord Tang, how lowly are you to marry your daughter to him in such a situation? Who are you being worthy of by doing this?"

"I..." Tang Jiang's face turned red after being questioned like this.

Liu's face turned pale, and Tang Yue'er was completely stunned. Her two hands were tightly twisting the handkerchief.

Bite your gums tightly.

"Master Tang," Bai Yanli said, "the Bai family has always kept their promises and is responsible. If you are willing to marry Miss Tang, then the Bai family will bear this responsibility. If you are not willing, then the Bai family can only use the excuse that Miss Tang is not disciplined as an excuse to cancel the engagement. By then, the reputation of the two young ladies in the Tang family may not be good."

"This." Tang Jiang was extremely embarrassed.

"Uncle Tang!" Bai Songrong said, "Yan Li has made it very clear. Judging from the current situation, if the eldest daughter of the Tang family marries here, it will cause the least loss to the Tang family. It can also preserve the friendship between our two families."

"No, how can this be possible?" Liu almost jumped up, "Yuer..."

Tang Jiang frowned, remembering that she had interrupted him several times without any rules, and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

Liu choked and held back the words.

"Song Rong." Tang Jiang said as a second choice, "I'm afraid we can't make a decision now. On the one hand, Brother Bai and his wife are not here, and on the other hand, Wan Ru's mother is not here either. Marriage is a serious matter, not a joke, so naturally the parents must be present."

"I still need to discuss this matter with my wife."

"Okay." Bai Songrong said, "If Madam Tang agrees, we can immediately send a letter and come to propose marriage."

"it is good."

Tang Jiang left with a frown.

Liu and Tang Yue'er also left in shame.
