His younger sister's words filled Wu Shun 'er's heart with fear. If that was really the case, Wu Shun' er felt that she might as well just die.
Since ancient times, marriage had always been decided by the parents and the matchmaker. Now, in this family, her mother could not keep her word. In the end, it was her father who made the decision.
Moreover, her father had been bedridden, and her two fierce brothers were in charge of everything in the family.
These two half-brothers were incapable of doing anything, but they were more than capable of ruining things. Not only did they have terrible morals, but they also loved money as much as their lives. If they were the ones who made the decision, they would definitely sell themselves to rich families.
When Wu Shun 'er thought of being sold to a white-haired old man with blurry eyes, he felt a wave of despair.
Moreover, although she was the daughter of the Duke, her two brothers were greedy by nature. It was very likely that they would give her to some powerful person as a concubine.
Wu Mei 'er looked at her sister's pale face and knew that she was scared. This was the perfect time to strike while the iron was hot!
"Sister, are you still hesitating? Do you want to marry someone you don't like and regret it for the rest of your life?”
"Sister, what should I do?" Wu Shun 'er's eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to burst into tears.
Wu Mei 'er took the opportunity to ask,"Elder sister, how is Wan Kuan's character?"”
Wu Shun 'er thought for a moment and said,"A gentleman is generous to others.”
"How's your credibility? Can you keep your promise?"
"This…" Wu Shun 'er hesitated for a moment, but she immediately said.
"Wan Kuan said that as long as I go with the princess to the Ten Thousand Blessing Tower, he will welcome me. Every time we go, no matter how full the Ten Thousand Blessing Restaurant is, he always leaves a private room. Moreover, Wan Kuan always prepared the food properly every time they ate, and he never charged them!”
After Wu Mei 'er heard this, she pondered carefully. Her eyes darted around as if she had an idea.
Wan Kuan was so generous. He probably saw through his sister's disguise. If Wan Kuan cared so much about his sister, it meant that he was interested in her. That would make things easier.
"Sister, I have a way to get you out of this misery!”
"Ah!" Wu Shun 'er looked at her younger sister who was brimming with confidence and was momentarily at a loss.
On the other side, Wan Kuan was annoyed by the scholars who came to exchange poems every day. He left the Myriad Blessing Tower and returned to his manor in Lantian County.
This manor was much better than Chang 'an. There was no curfew and no chores. Wan Kuan could live comfortably as a rich man.
Beside the stream outside the manor, Wan Guang was wearing a bamboo hat and sitting on a small stool. He held a fishing rod in his hand and looked like he was fishing, but in fact, he was dozing off.
Under the shade of a tree and beside a stream, it was very cool. Wan Kuan couldn't help but doze off. In his dream, he met his two brothers.
"Young Master, Young Master, where are you?”
Just as Wan Kuan was toasting with the Wu family girl in his dream, a sudden shout interrupted Wan Kuan's dream.
Wan Kuan opened his eyes and saw Ryoko looking around on the hillside.
"What are you shouting for? Were you chased by wolves?"
When Ryoko saw Wan Kuan, she immediately ran over.
"Young Master, something bad happened?"
"What's the matter? Did that group of scholars chase him to the manor again?”
"No, Young Master, Great-Grandma is here!”
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Help me keep the fishing rod!"
Wan Kuan threw down the fishing rod and immediately ran back to the manor. Yoriko looked at the empty fish basket and pouted. He didn't catch a single fish, so what was there to clean up?
Entering the manor through the back door, Wan Kuan went straight to the front yard. As soon as he entered the front yard, Wan Kuan heard a commotion.
"Recently, we have to tighten the security in the manor. Don't let those shady people get close!”
As soon as he entered the hall, Wan Kuan saw his grandmother instructing the butler.
"Grandmother!" Wan Kuan shouted.
An old woman in a crimson brocade dress immediately beamed when she saw Wan Kuan enter.
"Good grandson, where did you go to slack off?”
Wan Kuan was dressed in a short outfit with his trousers rolled up, making him look like a fisherman.
"Grandmother, why did you take so long to visit your grandson?”
Wan Kuan helped his grandmother to the armchair. Although Wan Kuan had only been in the Tang Empire for three months, his grandmother had been particularly fond of him.
As long as Wan Kuan wanted it, Grandma would be satisfied. Even when Wan Kuan wanted a huge sum of money to open a restaurant, Grandma didn't even frown.
"Grandson, Grandma has something to do too!”
Wan Kuan's grandmother waved at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper left sensibly.
"Little monkey, you've been in the limelight in Chang 'an these days!”Grandma touched Wan Kuan's forehead and smiled kindly.
Wan Kuan chuckled." Someone is here to find trouble. I can't be a coward!"”
"Hey!" Grandma sighed." Don't show yourself in the future." Tell Grandma, Grandma will help you!"
At this moment, Wan Kuan's grandmother was very worried. She knew Wan Kuan's identity all too well. If Wan Kuan really became famous, his identity would be exposed.
Wan Kuan's grandmother didn't want Wan Kuan's identity to be exposed. By then, Wan Kuan would have entered the palace and left her side.
