Chapter 204 Miss, Let’s Escape from Marriage!
My daughter will be twenty this year!
I originally thought that after my eldest son graduated from high school, I would marry her to the prince, even if she was just a concubine.
But waiting like this is not a solution. During the days when Jiang Wanyin was away from home, Jiang's father started to go around and use his connections to get things done.
In the end, he found a family for Jiang Wanyin that he thought was pretty good. Although it was not the most ideal choice, they could also be considered royal aristocrats.
While swallowing the food in his mouth, Father Jiang looked at Jiang Wanyin and said, "Did you go to see your mother the other day?"
"To answer my father's question, yes." Jiang Wanyin sat upright, sipping porridge in small sips, her expression calm.
Father Jiang said with a bit of helplessness: "You are not young anymore, many people of your generation already have children.
Your father has found a good family for you. Since you are not at home these two days, I have arranged this marriage for you. In two months, you will be married. "
When hearing these words, Jiang Wanyin couldn't help but tighten her hand that was originally holding the spoon, and at the same time glanced at Zhi Nian's figure out of the corner of her eye.
She bit her lips lightly and looked at Jiang's father with cold eyes, "May I ask, father, which young man are you betrothed to?
Why did you make such a decision for your daughter without informing her in advance? "
"I am your father, so naturally I am doing this for your own good. What's wrong with arranging a marriage for you? How dare you talk to your father like this now!"
When Jiang's father heard Jiang Wanyin's question, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He stared at Jiang Wanyin with wide eyes, sparks of anger flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Wanyin met her father's gaze without fear. She put down the bowl in her hand, slowly stood up, straightened her spine and said, "Father, why didn't you answer my question just now?
Whose son is she promised to marry? My daughter is going to get married for no apparent reason. Doesn't she even have the right to know the other party's identity?"
Father Jiang's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he was hesitant.
His eyes flickered and he seemed to be having trouble speaking.
"Master, Wanyin is still young and doesn't understand much, so please don't bother with her."
Seeing this, Jiang's mother hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. She gently tugged at the corner of Jiang's father's clothes and softly advised, "And Wanyin, this is your father. No matter what, he is doing this for your own good! Just listen to your father's arrangements!"
Mother Jiang walked forward and grabbed Father Jiang's clothes, showing a gentle and virtuous look, and said to Father Jiang softly: "Oh, Master, Wan Yin is just curious about who that person is.
Just tell her so that the child won’t have wild thoughts and keep thinking about it.
Even if you are a father and did something wrong, you are doing it for the good of your child, and it is reasonable!"
Jiang's father pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. However, after hearing what Jiang's mother said later, his brows relaxed a little.
That’s right, he is Jiang Wanyin’s biological father. No matter what, as a daughter, how dare Jiang Wanyin disobey her father’s orders?
Even if he did something wrong, he had to execute it. After all, he was the one who gave birth to Jiang Wanyin, and he was her father!
No matter what decision he makes for Jiang Wanyin, she should obey it!
Father Jiang's brows gradually relaxed, revealing a look of contentment.
"This marriage is with Prince Xiaoyao of the capital. He is of such a noble status. If you marry him as a concubine, you will really be climbing up the social ladder!"
However, when Jiang Wanyin heard these words, he just snorted coldly.
The eyes that were originally as gentle as water now seemed to be covered with a layer of extremely cold frost.
She straightened up, looked directly at Jiang's father without fear, and said in a firm and cold tone: "Although I call you father, have you really fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations that a father should have?
Who doesn't know that Prince Xiaoyao? Not only did he break one leg and become a cripple, but he also spent all his time in prostitutes. You should leave this so-called 'good husband' for yourself to marry!"
After saying that, Jiang Wanyin turned and left, leaving behind Jiang's father and mother who were stunned.
Jiang Wanyin suppressed his anger, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the courtyard.
Leaving Jiang's father with an angry and red face, he swept all the food on the table to the ground.
"Unfilial daughter! This is outrageous! You dare not even listen to your father! And you say such outrageous words!! Unfilial daughter!"
Jiang's mother stepped forward and pulled the person, gently patting Jiang's father's chest to comfort him, "Master, calm down! Calm down! Wanyin is still young and doesn't understand.
"She is still unwilling to marry the prince. I have made her too proud in the past two years. Whether she marries or not is just a matter of a word from the master. Why get so angry?"
Father Jiang calmed down and listened to the words of the person beside him, and felt that they made sense.
There was a sly gleam in Jiang's mother's eyes, with an ambiguous meaning.
Humph, this damn girl wants to marry Prince Xiaoyao?
It depends on whether she agrees or not, even if she is lame!
She has known the girl's abilities over the past few years. What if this damn girl kills Prince Xiaoyao and becomes the master of Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion? Wouldn't she have to suffer the consequences in the future?
-
Zhi Nian followed closely behind Jiang Wanyin, his eyes fixed on the slender figure in front of him.
She noticed that Jiang Wanyin returned to Tingyu Courtyard with an indifferent look on his face, and a strange emotion surged in her heart.
This was the first time that Zhi Nian saw Jiang Wanyin, who always showed a gentle smile, revealing such a cold expression. She followed behind silently, while lowering her head in thought.
Jiang Wanyin's father is such a bastard that he even wants to sell his own daughter!
Zhi Nian thought indignantly.
When they arrived at the gate of Tingyu Courtyard, Jiang Wanyin suddenly stopped without any warning.
Because Zhi Nian was concentrating on thinking about how to get out of the bizarre engagement, he didn't notice that the person in front of him had stopped, and he bumped into him without any preparation.
Zhi Nian didn't feel any particular pain, she just instinctively took a step back.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a warm and cool hand gently touching her head that had just been hit.
Zhi Nian raised his head in astonishment, and his eyes met Jiang Wanyin's.
The young lady's face was still expressionless and cold, but her deep and sparkling eyes clearly revealed her concern for him.
Zhi Nian was fascinated for a moment, as if his whole body was immersed in those dark eyes.
Jiang Wanyin noticed that the little maid was so distracted, and felt more and more sad.
She looked at the maid's slightly red forehead and said softly, "Does it hurt? Huh?"
"It doesn't hurt, miss." Zhi Nian pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and spoke seriously.
"Watch the road carefully next time, okay?" Jiang Wanyin leaned over and blew towards the smooth and rosy forehead, with tenderness and delicateness in her eyes.
That piece of skin had just been hit and was extremely sensitive. Now it felt the gentle breath and trembled.
The tremor gradually spread and attacked the heart.
The corners of Zhi Nian's eyes turned red, and she smiled sweetly.
"Well, listen to the lady."
Jiang Wanyin was stunned when she heard the little maidservant's words that she relied on her wholeheartedly. She curled her lips into a smile and led her into Tingyu Courtyard.
Jiang Wanyin seemed to ignore the marriage arranged by her father and spent the afternoon embroidering handkerchiefs with Cui Xin and several maids.
Zhi Nian knew a little about it, but he really had no interest in embroidery, so he simply went to the back garden and picked a few plum blossoms to put on the embroidery.
Jiang Wanyin looked at the elegant plum blossoms and stopped what she was doing.
During this period, Zhi Nian would pick different flowers for her every day.
Thinking of this, my heart began to heat up involuntarily, and the fingers holding the embroidery needle tightened slightly.
Zhi Nian leaned over and saw the red pattern embroidered by Jiang Wanyin, but he couldn't make out what it looked like.
She blinked and looked at Jiang Wanyin, "Miss, what are you embroidering?"
Jiang Wanyin then noticed Zhi Nian, who had been standing beside her at some point, and subconsciously tried to cover what she was holding.
Hearing Zhi Nian's words, she was stunned and lowered her eyes, "Guess."
Zhi Nian opened her eyes slightly, as if she didn't expect Jiang Wanyin to ask her this.
She asked tentatively, "Peony flowers?"
Jiang Wanyin glanced at her, pursed her lips and shook her head.
“Is that azalea?”
"..."
Even after Zhi Nian made many guesses, he still couldn't guess what Jiang Wanyin was embroidering.
Cui Xin was laughing secretly on the side.
Zhi Nian's fair little face became aggrieved, and his watery eyes stared straight at Jiang Wanyin.
Jiang Wanyin's eyes were fragmented, she covered her mouth with her hands and laughed so hard that her body shook. She only spoke softly after she had laughed enough.
"This is red bean! Can't you see?"
