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

The two people looked straight ahead at the same time and walked straight ahead, as if they were complete strangers.

"Sister, put another flower in your hair."

"I want some too, I want some too." Tang Wanru smiled and gave the flowers she picked from the other side to the children.

Lin Ying, who was standing aside in a black long skirt, looked at Tang Wanru, then turned to glance at Bai Yanli's back and couldn't help feeling strange.

Also feeling strange were Lin Yunrou and Zhang, who were peeking out from the opposite room.

The two looked at each other in surprise.

Aren't they both going to get married and marry each other? Rumors about the two of them were flying everywhere.

Now looking at it, why does it seem like the two people don’t know each other at all?

Zhang communicated with Lin Yunrou through eye contact: Could the rumor be false?

Lin didn’t know either, so she could only look away from Yu: …It must be fake.

Oh.

Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. So her useless son... still had a chance?

There are two tables for today's family dinner.

Tang Wanru and Lin Yunrou sat at one table with the old lady, while Bai Yanli sat at another table, which was the farthest away from Tang Wanru. They talked and laughed at the table, and exchanged glances, but Tang Wanru and Bai Yanli were surprisingly tacit, eating their own meals, without even a glance at each other.

Zhang looked at this and felt relieved.

If two people are willing to marry each other, how could they be so unfamiliar with each other? I guess the rumors outside are false.

It was a pity that her son had not returned from his inspection of the store yet. If he had returned, he could have spent more time with Tang Wanru.

Lin Yunrou also noticed the surprising unfamiliarity between the two people.

Logically speaking, Bai Yanli had saved Tang Wanru from falling into the lake at Prince Wei's mansion, so the two of them shouldn't have ended up like this.

At this moment, Lin Junchen came back, exhausted.

After dinner, by the lake.

The ladies were playing and playing by the lake to digest their food. Tang Wanru was sitting leisurely by the lake.

"Account status." Lin Junchen, wearing a gray long coat, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Wanru.

Tang Wanru reached out to take it. It contained the accounts of several shops under Lin Yunrou that were secretly investigated by people sent by the General's Mansion.

This was something Tang Wanru asked Lin Junchen for help with when she came to the General's Mansion last time.

This time it happened to have results.

She came here today just for this matter.

Tang Wanru glanced at the list and saw that most of the stores had some minor problems with their accounts, but the accounts of a garment shop called Yunshuijian were flawless and so perfect that it was amazing.

"If I'm not mistaken." Lin Junchen sat next to Tang Wanru and said, "Shuiyunjian's accounts are too complete. There is probably something wrong with them."

Between water and clouds.

Tang Wanru stared at the name of the shopkeeper of Shuiyunjian on the list and narrowed her eyes. This person was called Wang Hua.

Tang Wanru came back in this life and had two things to say about Lin Yunrou.

The first thing, of course, was to cure her heart palpitations so that this disease would not be exploited by others.

The second thing is business.

Before Lin Yunrou passed away in her previous life, all the shops under her management had become the property of the Liu family.

On the one hand, her death was due to her sudden illness, and on the other hand, it was due to her anger over this matter.

This shows that Liu must have arranged people in Lin Yunrou's shop in advance, and took over the shop step by step.

Tang Wanru had wanted to investigate in her previous life, but unfortunately her illness came very quickly and she really didn't have the energy at that time.

And now, Tang Wanru wants to nip everything in the bud.

Wang Hua. Tang Wanru stared at the name thoughtfully.

Tang Wanru put the list away and smiled at Lin Junchen: "Thank you, cousin, you've worked hard."

Lin Junchen was originally serious, but when he saw her smiling at him, he immediately withdrew his gaze. He lowered his head and was a little shy: "It's not hard. What's so hard about doing something for my cousin?"

"Besides, you persuaded Bai Yanli and Linglong Pavilion to cooperate with each other with just a few words a few days ago. Linglong Pavilion's business has been so prosperous recently, thanks to you. It is only right for me to do something for you."

"That's because both of your families have been interested in it. Otherwise, I can't convince you." Tang Wanru told the truth.

No matter how she refuses, Tang Wanru must have made a contribution.

Lin Junchen didn't say anything else. He and Tang Wanru sat side by side by the lake, enjoying the breeze. The young girls and boys were playing and laughing behind them. The sun shone half on the lake and half on the two of them. The atmosphere was very comfortable.

"Cousin." Lin Junchen suddenly called her.

"Hmm?" Tang Wanru turned around.

Lin Junchen wanted to say something, but felt awkward: "You...you and Bai Yanli...you..."

At this time, the two little girls came over again: "Sister Wanru, come and play with us."

"It's like sister coming over to throw stones at us."

"Okay." Tang Wanru nodded, stood up and went with them.

In the end, Lin Junchen didn't have the chance to ask what he wanted to ask. He stood up and looked at Tang Wanru and her younger brothers and sisters playing and laughing, and couldn't help but smile indulgently.

Who doesn't know how to throw stones?

A stone was thrown from the man's hand, sweeping across the water surface with a "splashing" sound, splashing up a dozen small puddles along the way.

The little girls screamed excitedly: "Wow, Brother Li is so awesome."

"Brother Li is so handsome!"

When Bai Yanli heard this, his tall figure stopped and his deep gaze fixed on Tang Wanru in front of him.

Ah.

boring.

Tang Wanru was playing with the children and was not very fond of Bai Yanli who suddenly came up to her.

Tang Wanru didn't even look at him. She just threw the stone in her hand and turned away.

Bai Yanli was stunned. This girl has a really bad temper.

He turned around and came in front of her.

"You want to throw another one?"

Tang Wanru glanced at him coldly: "Who are you throwing at? You?"

Bai Yanli: ...

Tang Wanru was about to leave, but Bai Yanli, seeing that there was no one around, stood in front of her again and asked, "Miss Tang, do you have any problem with me?"

"No."

This kind of man doesn't suffer any loss. She rejected others for him, how clever.

What a big face.

He knew why she was angry just by looking at her expression.

Bai Yanli said, "Miss, I heard this morning that the Yongning Marquis's Mansion was rejected miserably, and ten boxes of marriage gifts were brought out. I am afraid that I will end up like this. If I use my brain a little and create some favorable public opinion, it shouldn't be a big problem, and it won't be an unforgivable sin, right?"

A little bit?

"Is what you spread true?" Tang Wanru asked.

"Oh, isn't it?" Unexpectedly, Bai Yanli's expression was even more surprised than hers. "So this is not the reason why you rejected Yongning Marquis Mansion? I was wrong. I will withdraw this news immediately. Okay."

Tang Wanru: ...

He really can.

It’s good to meet a worthy opponent.

Tang Wanru smiled instead of getting angry: "Yes, Mr. Bai is right, this is the reason why I refused the marriage. You are right, there is no need to withdraw your refusal."

"That's good." Bai Yanli nodded seriously.

Tang Wanru thought, no matter what rumors there are outside, I will talk about it when I go to propose marriage.

It is not her who has the final say on whether to agree or not.

Are you afraid of being rejected like in Yongning Marquis Mansion? She promises it will be worse than that!

"Then Mr. Bai, please prepare your marriage proposal well and show more sincerity. Only then will my agreement be legitimate and natural." She raised her eyebrows. "I'll wait for you." She said with a sweet smile, turned around and left expressionlessly.

Bai Yanli shook the two pebbles in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
