Chapter 852: Peace of Mind

ransacked and looted for half an hour, the sound of horses' hooves echoed outside the city. The relief troops finally arrived. Some disaster victims, hearing the sound of hooves, finally calmed down....Wen Zhaoming didn't expect the Su family to come to challenge him, so after taking a sip of tea, he said:

But I see that the chief, although serious just now, didn't say anything unpleasant to me.

After all, in their eyes, he means nothing. If they are unhappy with this marriage, they can completely ignore him and give him a cold shoulder.

It was I who soothed them, and we walked and talked as we went.

"After turning around, he strolled back slowly and began to talk about the Su family."

The Su family was a large clan. From the outside, the Su family seemed very united, but with such a large family and so many people, there were bound to be mixed thoughts.

My mother is from the chieftain's lineage. Before, she wasn't particularly outstanding, she just knew how to manage things well. Especially after marrying my father, our family became increasingly prosperous. Therefore, when I passed the exam to become a child student, the chieftain's lineage had their sights set on placing their hopes on me.

Firstly, my mother would earn money, not only enriching herself but also helping many members of our clan. Therefore, her reputation was excellent, and the chief's decision received support from most clan members.

Besides, passing the Tongsheng examination was a necessary step. Although my ranking wasn't high, it was still crucial for taking the next exam, the Xiusheng examination. To register for the Xiusheng examination, one needed a guarantor, and there were several Xiushengs in our clan who could vouch for me. So, under these circumstances, I wouldn't mind making some compromises.

They wanted to make a big deal out of my wedding, using it to strengthen the ties between me and the family. So when they learned that I was already engaged to you, they couldn't sit still and came to my door directly.

Wen Zhaoming nodded after hearing this, then continued to wait for Lianyi's next words.

They are talking about your family background, so I told them about my aunt's scheme. Right now, our engagement is just a temporary arrangement, of course, that was a lie I told them, you don't have to take it seriously.

Do they believe it

"I naturally believed it, and I even explained that the reason I didn't tell them was to prevent this matter from spreading so that we could make other arrangements later on. As a result, they all found out."

Now that the news of my betrothal has been made public, once I have completed my filial period, I will have the clan arrange our wedding.

Ripples said calmly.

Hearing about his own marriage, Wen Zhaoming's face finally flushed with a hint of red. But he was still quite rational and said in a low voice:

Since you said you have other plans, they definitely won't let you marry me.

"You don't need to worry about that anymore, leave everything else to me. You just need to take care of your health these two days, learn your skills well, and look after Yueyue. When I'm tired from studying, just chat with me."

Wen Zhaoming looked up at Lian Ri's calm expression, a glimmer of hope blooming in his heart. He truly wanted a home.

"An He!"

The ripple called out to the schoolboy who was eight zhang away from her.

"What can I do for you, miss"

"Go find out who spread the news of my engagement. Also, put out another message saying that the Su clan is very satisfied with my chosen fiancé and that they met him at the manor today. They even promised to arrange our marriage after my filial piety period ends."

Ripple smiled sweetly. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

An He's eyes widened. At that time, she was present, and the Chief didn't utter a single word about officiating the wedding ceremony for the two of them.

Didn't you hear me

Liàn Yī asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I heard you, but I don't understand."

And He replied honestly.

You don't need to understand, just do it, go!

Ripples waved his hand.

An He's lips twitched, and he finally responded with a sound. As he left, he glanced back at Wen Zhao Ming, genuinely unable to understand how someone with such an appearance could have captured his young mistress's heart.

Wen Zhaoming was also a little surprised, staring wide-eyed at the ripples, as if he didn't understand why she did this.

"Don't stare at me like that. I told you I fancy you, of course I only want to marry you. There's no need to force things if the family approves. Besides, after we're married, you'll have to accompany me to the provincial examinations."

Ripples said calmly.

Wen Zhaoming was confessed to again, although this wasn't the first time he'd heard it, his heart still felt sweet. Because having someone place you in their heart, even willing to go against their family for you (in a roundabout way), touched him deeply.

Compared to his own family, he felt that he must have accumulated great virtue in his past life to meet Miss Ripple.

Seeing Wen Zhaoming's expression, Lian Yi knew he was happy. So she took advantage of the situation and reached out to touch his hand.

Wen Zhaoming was startled, and tried to break free, but after several shakes, he couldn't get away. His face flushed even redder, and he said in a voice like a mosquito:

"Miss Ripples, it's not good to be seen,"

Ripples pretended not to hear, pulling the lukewarm and shrimp-like Wen Zhaoming slowly away from the people, sending him back to his residence.

As they reached the doorstep, Liàn Yī released Wēn Zhāo Míng's rather rough hand and said with a smile:

"Ming'er, don't overthink it, I've got everything under control."

"Great!"

After responding, Wen Zhaoming turned and ran into the room.

Ripple watched the other person enter the room before turning back.

"Ripple, do you really fancy this young man"

Shiju was very interested in Lianyi's mission this time and would often check on its progress. Seeing Lianyi flirting with the young man, he found it unacceptable, so he quietly contacted the other party and directly asked questions.

"Ming'er is quite good, he fits my aesthetic. He's capable and ambitious, a true example of someone who can handle both the public sphere and domestic duties. If this wasn't a matriarchal world, he would definitely make something of himself."

"I didn't expect you to be a superficial person who judges by appearances."

The millstone quipped.

It’s not just because of his looks, but also his combat ability. With her original physique, which was practically useless in a fight, if she ever encountered any hidden dangers or ambushes, Ming Ge might have to save her.

The stone mill nodded in agreement, thinking that Ripple made a good point.

"This period also allows the original owner to understand our progress here. Don't wait for me to return the body to her and she disappoints me for choosing her."

"Okay, you can rest assured, I'll tell him."

Over the next two years, the Wen brothers rarely went back to their village except for occasional visits to pay respects to their parents. Instead, they spent more time at Sujiazhuang.

Time flies, two years passed in a blink of an eye. Lian Yi and Wen Jia's younger brothers both finished their filial piety period, and the arrangements for their weddings were also put on the agenda.

But the old patriarch insisted that Lianyi should finish the provincial examination before discussing marriage. The new head of the Su family, for some unknown reason, supported Lianyi's quick marriage, saying that starting a family and establishing a household would allow her to focus solely on taking the imperial examinations after marriage.

At this time, there were new rumors circulating in Qingshan County and Wengjia Village. It was said that Su Lianyi, taking advantage of her wealth and family protection, wanted to break off the previous marriage agreement. Moreover, the clan had already found a more powerful match for her.

When these words reached the village head's ears, her face immediately darkened. Ming Ge is still staying at Sujiazhuang now. What does this rumor mean To make Ming Ge give up and leave

"Mother, I don't think Ms. Su is that kind of person."isarray, with bodies littering the floor. Screaming maids and eunuchs ran around in panic, and flames were even starting to blaze. It was clear that a palace coup had taken place.At this time, the Fe...
