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

Shang ignored her and turned her attention to Tang Yue'er: "Yu'er, you should also be careful in the future. Be careful when you are boating on the lake. Women are different from men. Falling into the water is very dangerous. Some people can control their hands, but those who can't control their hands will inevitably catch fish. You won't be able to explain yourself then."

"You haven't been betrothed yet, so it will be hard to get married when the time comes."

The conversation was going fine, but Shang's last sentence confused Tang Jiang and the other two.

Liu froze immediately.

Tang Yue'er is also confused?

"Brother Bai, what does Mrs. Bai mean?" Tang Jiang asked in surprise.

Bai Ge's answer was concise and to the point: "She is afraid that your daughter will not be able to find a husband and get married in the future."

Tang Jiang: ???

Liu couldn't help it: "Madam, you..."

Tang Jiang stopped her and asked Bai Ge: "Brother Bai, are you mistaken? Yue'er is engaged to the second son of your family. How come she can't get married?"

"Brother Bai, you won't dislike her and refuse to acknowledge your engagement with her because of what I just said, right?"

"Disdain?" Bai Ge's expression was very natural. He smiled and said, "It's not that I disdain, but the engagement between our two families regarding you, Miss Tang Yue'er, ended two years ago. How can we disdain it?"

"Two years ago?" Tang Jiang had no recollection of this incident.

Bai Songrong said, "Lord Tang, you are a forgetful person. Two years ago, when our Bai family first arrived in the capital, we sent a letter to propose marriage, but we didn't expect that the letter would fall into the sea and there was no response. According to the rules, the marriage between our two families is over."

"Post?" Tang Jiang was confused. Where was the post?

When Liu heard this, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up. The thing she feared most had happened. The matter of the post was brought up!

Liu subconsciously looked at Tang Yue'er.

Tang Yue'er also turned pale.

Cold sweat on my head.

"If I remember correctly, it was not long after Lord Tang welcomed Concubine Liu into the mansion, and Concubine Liu had just taken charge of the household." Bai Songrong said coldly, "Concubine Liu must have seen that post."

After hearing this, Tang Jiang immediately looked at Liu.

Cold sweat flowed down Liu's forehead.

"Panchun, is this true?" Tang Jiang asked with a frown.

"What, what post? I, I haven't seen it." Liu murmured.

When Tang Jiang saw her like this, he understood what she meant. He gave Liu a fierce look.

The thing that drops the bolt at the critical moment!

"My aunt has never seen it, but there is a record of delivering the invitation in our Bai Mansion's booklet. I believe the Tang family also has a record of receiving the invitation. We will know it once we check." Shang said.

"I think that at that time, Lord Tang had just been promoted to the Minister of Rites and was at the peak of his career. And our Bai family had just entered the capital. It is possible that Lord Tang did not want to be involved with his old friends." Shang teased indifferently.

"How could this happen?" Tang Jiang was extremely embarrassed.

"Madam," Bai Ge said, "Don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by unwilling to make friends? Can the friendship between me and Brother Tang be destroyed by a little worldly things?"

Shang glanced at him indifferently.

Bai Ge said to Tang Jiang again: "Brother Tang, this matter has all passed. Don't take it to heart, and don't blame your aunt. Maybe there were other reasons that delayed this matter at that time. It doesn't matter."

"Your Yue'er is gentle and generous. If I meet a good family in the future, I will introduce her to someone. You don't have to worry about her marriage."

Tang Jiang: ???

This soft slap almost knocked Tang Jiang to the ground.

"Brother Bai, this..."

"Hey." Bai Ge interrupted him, "Today is such a happy day, let's not talk about those unhappy things. Come, have some tea!"

How could Tang Jiang drink tea?

He felt that he had lost all face.

"Brother Bai." Tang Jiang said, "If that's the case, why did you agree to our invitation?"

"Since Yue'er's marriage is not going to happen, there is no connection between our two families." Tang Jiang took a deep breath and said coldly.

"You are so solemn today, aren't you trying to embarrass me?"

"Brother Tang, you are confused." Bai Ge stood up and said, "The day before yesterday I wrote a letter to ask for marriage from your eldest daughter Tang Wanru. Didn't the Tang family agree today?"

"I thought you came here for this?"

It's because of this?!

"That's right." Bai Ge said, "Brother Tang, the marriage between our two families is not over yet. Please wait for my family to formally come to your house to ask for your daughter Tang Wanru's hand in marriage."

Tang Jiang stood there in surprise.

Liu looked embarrassed.

Tang Yueer's lips turned pale.

At the intersection, there is a porridge stall.

By the afternoon, the number of people had decreased and Tang Wanru, dressed simply, was packing up the stall with a few waiters.

But a man in blue turned around and sat down at the wooden table in front of the stall. He said to Tang Wanru, "Give me a bowl of porridge."

Seeing the newcomer dressed in fancy clothes, several waiters were about to step forward to chase him away, but were stopped by Tang Wanru.

She turned around and walked out of the stall and came in front of Bai Yanli.

Two people, one sitting and one standing, stared at each other.

"I'm sorry, sir." Tang Wanru said politely, "I only give my porridge to the poor and refugees. It's against the rules."

"I'll give you silver." As he said that, Bai Yanli placed a silver ingot on the table.

Tang Wanru didn't even look at it: "That won't work either."

Bai Yanli couldn't help but chuckle: "Miss Tang is quite principled."

Tang Wanru saw Tang Jiang and the other two leaving Bai's house in a rage just now, so she guessed the truth, "Mr. Bai finally used me to successfully become Tang Yue'er's relative. You must be very satisfied, right?"

Bai Yanli couldn't help laughing: "That's also because Miss Tang is so good. She gave out porridge at the porridge stall and immediately won my parents' favor. They decided to cancel Tang Yue'er's proposal and wholeheartedly asked to marry you."

This is a play.

A few days ago in the bamboo forest of Prince Wei's mansion, Bai Yanli asked her to help win the favor of Bai's parents so that he would completely cancel the engagement with Tang Yue'er.

The exchange is two black spirits.

For Tang Wanru, it was just a piece of cake.

Anyway, when the Bai family proposes marriage, Tang Wanru will refuse.

So she agreed.

"Since Mr. Bai is satisfied, then this amount of silver is too little, right?" Tang Wanru glanced at the porridge stall and smiled at Bai Yanli.

Looking at the girl's smug face, Bai Yanli couldn't help but curl his lips.

"This is the money for the porridge, the rest will come later."

He didn't mind giving her much.

"Heh." Tang Wanru laughed. "Mr. Bai, I have to remind you that although I agreed to your proposal and I also won your parents' favor according to your request, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. Mr. Bai, you must be mentally prepared. When the time comes, you may be rejected miserably when you come to formally propose."

"Moreover, the Yongning Marquisate has been rejected twice by the Tang family, and the Bai family may be subject to some rumors after being rejected."

"Master Bai, please think carefully."

What serious consequences.

Bai Yanli asked calmly, "So, Miss Tang is sure that you will reject me at that time, even if you agree to my marriage proposal, even if you are loved by my parents?"

"Yes." Tang Wanru was very sure about this. "If you can't accept the consequences, you don't have to go. I will just regard it as confiscating your post."

Not going?

Is this underestimating him?

Not only did he want to go, he also wanted to marry her.

"I'm afraid Miss Tang will be unable to control herself by then?"

Can't help myself?

Tang Wanru smiled softly and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see how you can make me helpless."

After she finished speaking, Tang Wanru waved to the waiter to bring a bowl of tofu pudding and placed it in front of Bai Yanli.

Bai Yanli asked back: "Isn't it only for the poor and refugees?"

"I bought it for you from the stall next door." Tang Wanru flicked her sleeves and put the silver ingot on the table into her pocket, "To help you replenish your brain." After saying that, she turned and left.

Bai Yanli looked at the white tofu pudding in front of him.
