Mrs. Ning Yuanbo kept all the boxes of gifts she brought, as well as the betrothal gift list.
Su Wan and Su Yi were waiting at the door. When they saw her coming out with a smile on her face, they had a bad feeling in their hearts.
When Mrs. Bo saw Su Wan, she came up to her affectionately and smiled:
"Wan Wan, if you have nothing to do, come to my house to play with Mei'er. She is always talking about you!"
Looking at her bright smile, it was hard for Su Wan not to doubt whether Father Su and Mother Su had agreed to the marriage.
Su Yi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and pulled Su Wan further away from her:
"Mrs. Uncle, I'm sorry for the poor reception, but I'm going to leave slowly without seeing you off!"
After saying that, he took Su Wan's wrist and entered the living room, where Su's mother and Su's father were looking at each other speechlessly.
"Mom, what did you say? Why does Madam Uncle look so happy?" Su Wan asked hurriedly.
Mother Su sighed and told Su Wan and Su Yi exactly what Mrs. Uncle said just now.
Su Wan immediately fell silent after hearing this. Don't ask. If you ask, you will get angry.
Su Yi, on the other hand, had a gloomy face and sneered:
"Ningyuan Earl's Mansion, are they trying to use their power to force us to agree? Then let's fight them to the end and see if we are afraid of her threat. In short, Wan Wan cannot marry Ning Zhiqian. If something happens, it's okay. Come at me.”
Su Yi thought, the worst possible outcome would be to break the jar.
"Mrs. Bo asked us to give her an answer in the next few days. So that she could hold a banquet in the west building of the moon to discuss the marriage between the two families, so she directly called us father-in-law and mother-in-law. Isn't this forcing her? What's the best..." Mother Su was really worried, she couldn't be so strong.
"Tell them, I don't agree with this marriage. If she is strong, ask her to punish me. If I am afraid, I lose. After leaving Xiangzhou City, I, Su Wan, am still a good man. I will do this business wherever I am. As the situation continues, I also planned to go to Suzhou today. I asked someone to read the almanac and found out that today is a good time to go out and do business. I’m leaving first. Parents, don’t be afraid. No matter how powerful they are, they don’t dare to do anything to us. Sample."
Su Wan is not afraid, isn't he just tough?
It is true that they are earls, but they only have a name but no real power, so they are domineering in Xiangzhou Mansion. She, Su Wan, has done business all over the world, and she does not miss the cake of Xiangzhou.
Su Wan made such a bold statement, and for some reason, Su's father and Su's mother felt very happy.
Su Yi was originally very depressed. When he heard that his sister, a good guy, was so open-minded, he felt that he was worrying too much. He was originally worried that she would feel uncomfortable because of this.
"That's right, no matter how powerful they are, can they still kill people and set fire? Wanwan, you can just go about your own business and go to Suzhou to relax. I'm here to take care of the family matters."
Su Yi put his hand on Su Wan's shoulder and patted her to comfort her.
Su Wan nodded. Nothing could stop her from getting rich. Ningyuan Earl's Mansion, let them go as they thought they were right.
"Then what should we do now?" Mother Su was really confused by this sudden incident.
"Tomorrow I will take the things sent by their family and send them back in person, and then just reject the marriage."
The first rule of Su Yi's refusal to marry is to return the gifts first. The main point is that he is not afraid of power.
Moreover, Su Wan has prepared everything. The baggage and carriage have been packed, and the almanac has been taken care of. She has to go to Suzhou today anyway, and there is absolutely no way she will give up her career for an unrelated person.
Moreover, her client is not in Xiangzhou, let’s see how they behave like monsters.
Su's father and Su's mother sent Su Wan to the door and watched her leave in a carriage.
This time, Su Wan not only brought Liu Yun and Liu Ying, but also DaShu and XiaoShu. Of course, she also wanted to hire a few thugs to protect herself. After all, Xiangzhou and Suzhou were far away and it was not safe on the road.
So she and Jiang Yu borrowed a few guards with strong martial arts skills to accompany them, but it was not in vain for her to bother them. With her repeated insistence, she prepared generous employment fees for them, also because she did not want to owe a favor.
Moreover, if she went to the escort agency to hire thugs, she might as well ask Jiang Yu to borrow someone, at least his people were more trustworthy.
Jiang Yu expressed helplessness that she insisted on paying her a salary, but he could only accommodate her. He had other things to deal with and needed to travel far, so he couldn't accompany her.
The four bodyguards he arranged were all top-notch masters. Their martial arts skills were not inferior to those of Feng Ying. They should be enough to protect her when traveling. However, if there were more people, they would attract more attention and have a bad influence.
After Su Wan left the city, he was not affected by this incident. Instead, he should eat, drink, sleep, and prepare for the next battle in Suzhou.
…
The next day, Su Yi brought the gift from Earl Ningyuan's Mansion to the door in person and gave it back.
He also made it clear that the Su family had no intention of getting married to the Ning family.
Uncle Ning Yuan was so angry that she scolded the Su family for being ignorant. She lost her temper at home and said things that would make it difficult for them to keep the Yuyan Hall open.
Ning Zhiqian sat there, clenching his fists motionless, his face turned blue and purple, then purple and white, all because of Su Yi's words:
"Uncle, my sister-in-law has no romantic feelings for you. Please find another good match and don't get entangled."
Ning Yuanbo himself also had a bad expression and looked very angry.
Not long after Su Yi left, the concierge's boy came to report in a hurry:
"Uncle, uncle, we have a distinguished guest at home!"
"I'm so flustered. What do you look like? Is there any family more distinguished than ours in Xiangzhou?" Ningyuan Earl's Mansion is really not a place where one family doesn't stay alone.
Everyone thinks highly of themselves and looks down on others.
"The person who came here said he is the prince of Duke Jiang's mansion!"
"What, who are you talking about?" Ning Yuanbo didn't hear clearly. To be precise, he thought he heard wrongly.
The porter took out a gold and jade sign with the four characters "Jiang Guogongfu" engraved on it.
"He said he was the eldest son of Duke Jiang's Mansion in Kyoto and came to see our uncle."
When the Ning family heard the name Jiang Guogong, they were all shocked. They thought that Jiang Guogong was far away in Kyoto, and he was already leading troops on the frontline.
Now that his son has suddenly arrived, why does it feel so unreal?
However, this jade plaque, which symbolizes status, represents everything.
When Ning Zhiqian heard that he was here to find him, he looked at his parents blankly, expressing confusion.
It was Uncle Ning Yuan who reacted first and said to the boy:
"Go and invite the prince to come in. You should tidy up this place quickly and prepare the best tea to serve."
Jiang Guogong is a first-class marquis, and he, a third-class marquis, can only greet him politely and respectfully.
Uncle Ning Yuan immediately took Ning Zhiqian, his wife and daughter to the front hall to receive them.
Jiang Yu was wearing a purple and gold robe today, dressed up in a serious manner, which could be said to match his noble status as the prince of Jiang Kingdom.
However, his expression was really not good-looking, it was gloomy and gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
After Ning Zhiqian saw clearly that the visitor was Jiang Yu, the expression on his face gradually changed. At first, he still had a decent smile, wanting to get to know this distinguished guest from Kyoto, who would be a good connection in the future. .
But at this moment, he suddenly felt as if his face was on fire, and his heart was so compressed that he couldn't breathe.
