The Jia family's marriage proposal carriage was welcomed into the Cheng residence.
Jia Xuan also got out of the carriage and exchanged a few pleasantries with Old Lady Cheng. Old Lady Cheng was full of agreement.
After all, Jia Xuan's appearance was not bad.
He was only fifteen years old, but he was already 1.8 meters tall and quite handsome.
After all, although the men of the Jia family were ordinary, their wives were all as beautiful as fairies. After so many generations of genetic modification, Jia Xuan's appearance was naturally shocking.
After looking around, Jia Xuan did not find Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi. They were probably still on the way back to the capital.
As for Cheng Fourth Lady, Jia Xuan did not see her either.
After all, this was only a marriage proposal, not a marriage. It was against the rules for the female mother to meet people now.
"Old Matriarch Cheng, what do you think of Fourth Lady?”
Jia Xuan asked.
"I agree. Fourth Lady Cheng naturally agrees.”
Old Lady Cheng said happily.
Ge Shi also echoed a few words.
In fact, Old Lady Cheng was short-sighted. She only saw the gold, silver, and jewelry and was unwilling to give them up.
As for Ge shi, she had ulterior motives. She heard that the Jia family's concubine son was a weak and sickly person and wanted to quickly marry Cheng Si Niangzi to Jia Xuan, this lowly concubine son, before Cheng Shi returned!
She didn't believe that Cheng Fourth Lady would have an easy time in the Jia residence!
In the past, the Ge family had used the name of ghosts and gods to force Cheng Shi and his wife to stay behind. Now, they had come up with a scheme. It could be said that they were extremely vicious.
However, it also happened to matchmake Jia Xuan's marriage.
"She agreed?"
Jia Xuan raised his eyebrows. After thinking about it, it was probably that Cheng Fourth Niangzi herself could not stay in this house anymore. At the same time, she wanted to take revenge on her two parents who had not yet arrived home.
This was not because Cheng Fourth Lady was vengeful. In fact, if she did not hold a grudge, she might not have been able to live until now.
"That's good. Then let's set the wedding for tomorrow. What does the Cheng family think?”
The date of the border garrison had already been set. It was the day after tomorrow. Jia Xuan was in a hurry to head to the army and directly spoke.
Old Lady Cheng's eyes were focused on the jewelry. She didn't even hear the question clearly before she agreed,
Ge shi was even more ecstatic. She was eager to quickly settle the marriage before Cheng Shi returned!
Although Jia Xuan was a bastard son, he was still a member of the Jia family!
As long as they were engaged and received the betrothal gifts, even if Cheng Shi came back, it would be useless. With Cheng Shi, a newly promoted martial meritorious officer, he could not break off the engagement with the Jia family.
Under the push of Old Lady Cheng and the Ge family, this marriage was quickly decided, and it was tomorrow!
Was it rushed?
It was very rushed.
However, the Cheng family's people who knew right and wrong were not at home for the time being, so this matter was so muddle-headed that these two womenfolk made it happen.
As for the servants sent by the Jia residence, Madam Ge and Matriarch Cheng did not care…
In their opinion, it was fine as long as Jia Xuan could come.
After that, Jia Xuan casually found an excuse to let Zhou Rui go back to Rong Mansion first while he stayed in the Cheng family for a while before returning to Rong Mansion.
The servants left very quickly. Jia Xuan told Old Lady Cheng, who was happily looking at jewelry, before walking around the Cheng residence.
Jia Xuan knew her personality.
If he came today, Curly Hair would definitely not stay in the house alone. She would definitely come out to see him.
Not long after,
Jia Xuan saw Cheng Fourth Lady looking from afar in the courtyard.
She was indeed gentle and pitiful. She looked like a little bird, but her eyes were filled with craftiness.
Beside her was a little servant girl, who was considered her only friend. Many bad things were done by the little servant girl Lianfang.
Cheng Si Niangzi realized that she had been seen by Jia Xuan and hurriedly turned around to escape in a panic.
However, Jia Xuan's figure flashed and appeared in front of Cheng Fourth Lady, blocking her path.
"I have something to ask you."
Jia Xuan said.
"What?"
"You really want to marry me?"
"Yes."
"To take revenge on your parents? If that's the case, I can make the Jia family annul the engagement.”
Jia Xuan said seriously.
Cheng Si Niangzi's voice was extremely soft, making people feel pity for her.
"Half and half. Curly Hair used to live in a farmer's house. If it wasn't for your engagement, Curly Hair would have died of illness.”
"No one has doted on me since I was young. Mother and Aunt Ge have been very good to me these few days. I like it very much, but I know that this is because of the engagement.”
"Besides,"
"Curly Curly just wants to be loved by husband.”
As she spoke, Cheng Fourth Lady's eyes turned red.
She had never said these words to the servant girl in the lotus room, but for some reason, she said them to Jia Xuan today. It was as if Jia Xuan had some kind of magic.
In reality, Jia Xuan had secretly used his cultivation as a great grandmaster to listen to the truth.
Now, Jia Xuan understood.
Curly Hair lacked love.
Since she was young, she had no parents to accompany her and was bullied by children. In order to teach her bad things, the Ge family who took care of her did not even hire a teacher. They even sent her to the farmer's house and let her fend for herself.
"Poor Fourth Lady Cheng."
Jia Xuan sighed in her heart.
How similar was her experience to that of a bastard son?
Jia Xuan could not help but feel sympathy and pity in his heart. Then, he said,"After the wedding, I will be going to the nine borders to guard the borders. At that time, I can't bring any women with me. You can only stay alone in the Jia residence.”
"Then when you come back, will you protect Curly Hair? I don't want to be bullied."
"I will protect you forever."
"Then will you dote on her?"
"Yes!"
"Then I'll marry you and wait for you to return.”
"Deal!"
Jia Xuan stared into Cheng Fourth Lady's eyes and nodded solemnly.
This was considered a promise.
After that, a few manservants came to the backyard to clean up daily. Jia Xuan was afraid of being seen and ruining Cheng Fourth Lady's reputation, so he directly disappeared from the spot.
"Where is he?"
Cheng Si Niangzi's beautiful eyes opened slightly, her pretty face was filled with cute confusion.
"Female gentleman, he probably left. It seems that your future husband is not simple!"”
Although Lianfang was a servant girl, she knew that the ability to come and go without a trace was not something that ordinary people could have.
"Aiya."
Cheng Si Niangzi's pretty face was slightly red. She then remembered that Lianfang was also by her side when she said those words.
"Don't tell anyone!"
Curly Hair patted the lotus room and quickly ran to her boudoir, her face full of shyness.
"In the future, there will be someone who will dote on you.”
Cheng Si Niangzi looked in the direction of the Jia residence and muttered to herself.
Her parents didn't love her and she almost starved to death in the mountains. Her parents probably didn't even know.
She was well aware of the prejudice of Madam Ge and Matriarch Cheng.
From a young age,
Cheng Fourth Lady had grown up in a loveless environment by relying on her own strength.
And now,
After marrying into the Jia residence, when Jia Xuan returned from the border, she would have someone to love!
And it was a promise for a lifetime!
She finally had someone to love her.
For a moment, Cheng Fourth Lady shed two lines of tears.
This strong girl who lacked love was filled with yearning.
