After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

"Thank you, Master! You can stay!"

Liu Chunyan ran to Xie Lan breathlessly, her face full of anxiety.

"Master Xie, why don't you stay? My grandfather will sponsor you to take the imperial examinations, and will also let you study in the private school in the mansion, providing you with food and accommodation. You don't have to worry about making a living anymore, and you can study with peace of mind. With your talent, you will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future. With such good conditions, why don't you want it?"

Indeed, if Liu Chunyan threw the conditions she mentioned to any scholar passing by in the town, that person would be ecstatic and would only nod in acceptance, with no thought of refusing at all.

But Xie Lan refused again and again.

This made Liu Chunyan very distressed.

If Xie Lan is not at home, how will she see him in the future?

She even fantasized about asking Xie Lan to divorce his wife and then marry her as his principal wife.

Xie Lan's eyes were half closed, his gaze was not on Liu Chunyan, but looking at the ground indifferently.

"Miss Liu, I have already explained this to Mr. Liu."

The implication was that Liu Chunyan was talking too much, and Xie Lan didn't want to repeat it a second time.

He didn't want to explain any more.

Liu Chunyan was angry, but she couldn't bear to get angry at Xie Lan, so she could only suppress her anger and said, "Mr. Xie, I told you before that I want to marry you! That's not a joke! I like you, and I want to be your wife!"

These words were so willful and bold that everyone else in the hall was shocked by Liu Chunyan.

Jiang Wan slowly picked up the teacup, blew on the boiling hot tea, then put it to his lips and sipped a few sips. He looked at Xie Lan opposite him, his eyes full of a smile of watching a good show.

In the original book, Xie Lan had little presence in the early stage. Only after he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar did he become a popular commodity.

At that time, many noble ladies in the capital were attracted by Xie Lan's handsome appearance and extended olive branches to him.

Unfortunately, Xie Lan is not only a heartless and desireless piece of wood, but also a bone-chilling iceberg.

He turned a blind eye to all the advances from women, like a sharp and harsh sword. Anyone who got close to him would be hurt by him invisibly.

Even though he is not interested in women and is extremely cold and aloof, he still cannot stop the women who adore him from falling for him one after another.

Xie Lan's personality now is not as cold as it will be in the future. Let's see how he deals with his suitors.

"Chun Yan!"

Before Xie Lan responded, Master Liu couldn't help it.

He had already told Liu Chunyan that Xie Lan was already married, so how could she dare to show her love to Xie Lan openly?

Wouldn't this bring shame to the Liu family?

After all, Mr. Liu had once been an official in the court and was a person of status and position.

However, his granddaughter was so bold and reckless that she completely disregarded the modesty and decorum that a woman should have, and she was ignorant of etiquette and boldly proposed to him in front of everyone.

If this matter gets out, will the Liu family still have face?

Does Liu Chunyan still want to keep her reputation? Who will dare to marry her in the future?

Master Liu's face turned red with anger, and he angrily scolded: "Chunyan, don't act nonsense! Master Xie already has a family, why would he marry you? What's the point of promising yourself to him? Master Xie saved Jun'er's life, and grandfather will repay him. How can it be your turn to repay him?!"

Liu Chunyan refused and shouted, "So what if she has a family? That woman must be a country woman, with no talent or beauty, how can she compare to me? As long as you divorce her, Mr. Xie can marry me! Grandfather, Chunyan likes Mr. Xie, please help me persuade him!"

She walked up to Mr. Liu, grabbed his arms with both hands, and swayed from side to side, acting coquettishly.

Mr. Liu's face turned green with anger.

Let Xie Lan divorce his wife? !

It’s amazing that Liu Chunyan could think of this!

Jiang Wan, who has no talent or looks, was shot even when he was lying down.

She was drinking tea comfortably when she suddenly felt a cold gaze looking at her from the opposite side.

She followed the line of sight and saw that Xie Lan had already moved away.

"Master Liu, I have a deep relationship with my wife, and she is gentle and virtuous. I swear that I will only have her in my life. I will never do such a treacherous thing as divorcing her. I hope Master Liu will not force me to break my oath and separate me from my beloved wife."

Xie Lan bowed his head and saluted towards Master Liu. His voice was still cold, but he had lowered his posture and his tone was vaguely pleading and resolute.

Mr. Liu's face turned red and he quickly asked him to lift up his body.

"Master Xie, it's my granddaughter who's making trouble. Please don't take it to heart. You are the great benefactor of the Liu family. How could I do such a dirty thing as to separate you and your wife? Please sit down quickly. You are my honored guest. If I don't treat you well, I will be ridiculed by outsiders."

Xie Lan stood still and said, "I have already said this. If Miss Liu has other thoughts about my wife, don't blame me for being disrespectful."

After he finished speaking, he sat back, half-closed his eyes, still staring at the ground calmly, his posture the same as before, as if the person who had just uttered the harsh words was not him.

Jiang Wan was stunned when he heard him say "he has a deep affection for his wife".

She almost couldn't hold it in and spit out the tea in her mouth.

It took me a lot of effort to swallow it, and I choked a few times.

Jiang Wan smoothed his chest and glared at Xie Lan again.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lan, who was usually taciturn, lied without blinking at the critical moment.

It seems that I didn’t understand Xie Lan deeply enough before.

Jiang Wan decided that she must be more careful in the future to prevent Xie Lan from setting a trap for her behind her back.

After Xie Lan expressed his attitude, Liu Chunyan became angry. Not only was she angry, but she also felt aggrieved and unwilling.

How could she, a rich lady, be inferior to a vulgar country woman?

Is Xie Lan blind? Why didn't he choose her?

"Master Xie, you! You... why do you think of me like this? Am I such a vicious person? I just like you, why do you say such harsh words to me?"

Liu Chunyan was so angry that she cried. She had been spoiled since she was a child, so how could she have suffered such grievance and rejection?

"Chun Yan! You're still crying! You have the nerve to ask Master Xie to divorce your wife, but why don't you allow Master Xie to think of you like that?"

Mr. Liu had a headache. He valued Xie Lan, but he couldn't bear to see his granddaughter suffer any injustice.

But now, because of the nonsense Liu Chunyan said, Master Liu couldn't openly favor her, so he had to ask the servants to take Liu Chunyan away.

Liu Chunyan kept struggling and told Xie Lan about her admiration and love for her, but Xie Lan remained unmoved and did not show any emotion for Liu Chunyan.

Liu Chunyan's interference disrupted the originally harmonious atmosphere.

Jiang Wan observed the man's expression and decided not to stay any longer, so he gave the remaining Spirit Purifying Pills to Master Liu and left with Master Liu's reward.

After leaving Liu's house, Jiang Wan and Xie Lan didn't talk to each other until they reached the carriage and horse shop. Xie Lan said, "You go back first. I'm going to the county to do something."

Jiang Wan tactfully asked no further questions, just nodded and watched Xie Lan get on a horse and leave.

Jiang Wan thought about the food consumption at home in the past few days, so she went to the grain store again and purchased 400 kilograms of grain.

The grain was loaded onto the rented ox cart, and Jiang Wan sat in the grain pile to rest.

Unexpectedly, the ox cart suddenly stopped halfway through the journey.
