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

What he said was a bit harsh.

"As for the marriage proposal, how to decide it is the Tang family's business. Outsiders cannot decide it." Mrs. Du murmured.

Bai Ge felt that this was just a child's play.

"Where's the eldest daughter of the Tang family?" Bai Ge asked with some resignation, "Has she also agreed to marry into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion?"

"She didn't come." Tang Jiang replied.

"She didn't come?" Bai Ge didn't understand their logic. He asked curiously, "Brother Tang, you didn't even ask her what she thought about this?"

ask her?

Tang Jiang thought, the result would only slap him in the face, so it would be better not to ask.

"Brother Bai, my family's affairs are complicated. If you don't understand, don't ask." Tang Jiang suddenly became serious. "In the end, I also told you that I didn't entertain you well today. Please forgive me. When I have time in the future, I will come to apologize in person."

Bai Ge: ...

I didn't expect that after not seeing him for so many years, Tang Jiang would become like this. He was not marrying off his daughter, he was throwing his daughter out to pave the way for him.

It is said that the officialdom is ruthless.

I didn't expect him to be so cruel to his own daughter.

Thinking of this, Bai Ge couldn't help but shook his head.

In that case, he had nothing to say. He clasped his fists with Tang Jiang, stood up and was about to leave, but he heard another voice coming from outside the hall: "Brother Bai, please stay." It was Lin Yunrou who appeared at the door, followed by Shang.

Shang winked at him.

How could he give up the woman that his family's Yan Li liked so easily to someone else?

Bai Ge understood and said nothing more.

Seeing Lin Yunrou coming, Tang Jiang felt overwhelmed. Seeing that she looked like she was looking for trouble again, Tang Jiang hurriedly pulled her to the door and whispered, "Don't make trouble. This time is different from before."

"Yun Rou." Tang Jiang said seriously, "Something went wrong with the imperial examination this year. I need the help of the old Marquis of Yongning Mansion, otherwise I will lose my hat, and the Tang family will be implicated. This time, Wan Ru has to marry."

Lin Yunrou looked at him with disdain: "That's because you didn't do your job well. There's no reason for Wanru to clean up the mess for you."

"You." Tang Jiang felt that Lin Yunrou was just a piece of wood and couldn't explain herself clearly.

Lin Yunrou glanced at him and stopped talking to her. She walked into the flower hall and said to the people from Yongning Marquis's Mansion, "I'm sorry, I was in the side hall just now and didn't hear what happened here. Our Tang family has always been good to our children. If our daughter wants to get married, we must listen to her own opinion."

"My parents arranged it. My family doesn't have it." Lin Yunrou said with her body straight, completely different from the servile look of Tang Jiang just now.

After all, she was born in the General's Mansion, and Lin Yunrou's speech and behavior were very elegant, so Du and Zhou Wucai didn't know what to say for a while.

"Besides, the Bai family and the Yongning Marquis' Mansion came together to propose marriage today. Asking Wanru's opinion would be fairer to both of you."

fair?

Mrs. Du felt uneasy when she thought of Tang Wanru's decisive look last time, and she glanced at the old marquis.

Indicate that he can't wait.

Tang Jiang knew what was going on better. Letting Wanru come out would be tantamount to rejecting the Marquis' Mansion, which was impossible.

"Why ask her to come out? She doesn't have to come out."

Zhou Wucai was very confident. He always felt that the reason why the two attempts failed was because the Marquisate did not take it seriously. Since he was here today, Tang Wanru would definitely agree.

Compared with the Bai family, no one would reject the Marquis' Mansion.

"Come out if you want." Zhou Wu said at this time, "I want to see her too." He wanted to see what kind of woman could make the Marquis' Mansion come to her three times.

"This..." Tang Jiang was embarrassed.

Mrs. Du also said: "Master, this..."

The old marquis glanced at her and said, "Okay, since Madam Tang has said so, just meet her. It doesn't matter. Let her choose." He glanced at Tang Jiang who was sitting opposite him, and didn't say the rest.

He didn't believe that if she was with the Bai family, Tang Wanru would not choose the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

Since he said so, Tang Jiang had no choice but to say, "Someone, go and invite the young lady."

Tang Mansion, backyard.

It was windy outside, and Tang Wanru temporarily separated from Miss Wu and other noble ladies. She said she wanted to go back to her room to get a coat.

But when she arrived at the yard, she did not go in. Instead, she arranged for a maid to go in and get it for her, while she herself stood outside the wall.

Suddenly, a figure flashed over quickly, and Tang Wanru was stunned. The person had been pressed against the wall by him.

She was about to speak when Bai Yanli leaned down to her ear and said, "Shh, there's someone here."

Tang Wanru turned her head and saw several strong men sneaking towards her house. Although these men were wearing the clothes of servants in the mansion, Tang Wanru had never seen them before, so they were not from the mansion.

Bai Yanli said, "I just saw these men sneaking towards the backyard. You guys in the Tang Mansion didn't even have your coat belts tied properly, so I thought something was wrong and followed them. I didn't expect them to come here."

Tang Wanru was not surprised by this. She said, "They came to arrest me."

what?

Bai Yanli felt puzzled, but Tang Wanru didn't say anything and looked into the yard with Bai Yanli.

Soon, I saw those people coming out carrying a sack. The sack was moving, and it was obvious that there was a person inside.

It was the maid that Tang Wanru had just arranged to go in and get the coat.

She knew it a long time ago, so she didn't go in and arranged for someone else to go.

Bai Yanli looked at her in surprise.

Tang Wanru smiled and said, "I'll take you to see a good show." Then she pulled Bai Yanli's sleeve and walked out of the yard.

Tang Mansion, warehouse.

The sturdy men wearing Tang Mansion clothes pushed open the door and came in carrying sacks. Tang Yue'er was already waiting inside.

Several people threw the sack to the ground with a "bang!" and the person inside cried out "Ouch!" in pain.

Tang Yue'er was very happy to hear that.

"The person was captured from Qinwanyuan?"

"There's no mistake. There was only this woman there when we went in." said one of the sturdy men.

Tang Yueer nodded, then took out some silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into the pockets of those people. In order to avoid trouble, these people were brought in from outside.

Several people were taken away with the silver.

Tang Yue'er looked at the moving sack on the ground and raised the corner of her lips. Then she picked up the shovel in the warehouse and smashed the top of the sack hard. The sack stopped moving and the person inside fainted.

Tang Yueer was very satisfied.

At this moment, the door opened and Zhou Ziyue was standing outside.

"Yue'er."

"Sir!"

The two hadn't seen each other for many days, and they couldn't hide their excitement. Seeing Tang Yue'er coming forward to pull him, Zhou Ziyue turned around very cautiously and closed the door before holding Tang Yue'er's hand.

"Prince." Zhou Ziyue was dressed very handsomely today. Tang Yue'er couldn't help but like him very much and held his hand tighter.

"Yuer, why did you call me over at this time?" Zhou Ziyue was still frightened, as he had come here secretly.

Tang Yue'er's parents were in front, and his parents were also there. It would be a big deal if anyone saw them.

"Can't I miss you?" Tang Yue'er pouted and acted like a spoiled child regardless of anything. In fact, she knew better than anyone whether she could miss him or not.

"Of course you can miss me." Zhou Ziyue said, "But now is not the time. It's too dangerous."

Tang Yueer pulled her hand out of his, looking a little angry: "Your Highness, if you don't see me, does that mean you won't listen to me?"

"How could that be?" Zhou Ziyue was confused. Wasn't it for her that he controlled himself so strictly? Where did she get this question from?

Tang Yue'er turned back and said with a wronged look on her face, "Then why did you refuse to help me marry into the Bai family when I asked someone to tell you to do it? Don't you want your child to have a good family and a good father?"

It turned out to be this.

Zhou Ziyue also felt aggrieved about this matter.

She might not understand the imperial examination even if he mentioned it, so Zhou Ziyue just said, "Yuer, the Bai family is not as easy to surrender as you think. I need time for this matter."

"How long will it take?" Tang Yue'er asked, "I can wait, but can the baby in my belly wait?"
