"Ah!" A crisp sound was made outside the house. Uncle Sun Boya and Hua Chen looked up at the same time. Qinghan, who was standing outside the main hall, stretched out his hands to cover his mouth, as if he was blaming himself for making a sound.

Qinghan couldn't tell what she was in now, but she was a little dizzy. After she learned about Hua Chen's visit from the maid in Qinyuan, she hurried out. You should know that after returning to Shusun's mansion, Qinghan just said "Please take care of him in the Jiaofang Hall with Sister Ziyu" and told her everything, and she did not tell her father anything about Hua Chen.

As she walked to the front yard, Qinghan kept thinking: What if his father had any dissatisfaction with Brother Hua Chen? Not to mention that Brother Hua Chen had accepted him, just saying that all this was voluntary, my father shouldn't say anything more! The more he thought about it, the more he became, and later he even ran away with his legs.

When she ran out of the main hall, Qinghan was already out of breath. She stretched out her hand to hold the door and gasped for a while before entering the room. As a result, Qinghan had just arrived outside the main hall and heard the conversation inside:

"Does the young master really think Qinghan deserve such a huge fortune?"

"I am not worthy of it. There are many wealth in the world but only one Qinghan, which is unique. Therefore, no matter how much wealth you have, it is not worthy of Qinghan."

Love words are a very wonderful thing. People hope that their partner can speak it in front of themselves, but sometimes listening to those love words that they say to themselves with a bystander will bring greater shock. This is the case with Qinghan at this time.

Looking at Qinghan, who was at a loss when she stood outside the door staring at Shui Lingling, Hua Chen smiled a little, and got up and walked to Qinghan, stretched out his finger to wipe away the fine sweat beads on her forehead and said docilely: "Are you running here? Why are you so reckless? What if you fall?"

Qinghan's mind was still in chaos. He looked at Hua Chen's soft gaze. Qinghan quickly lowered his eyelids and nodded gently.

Hua Chen was amused by Qinghan's well-behaved and lovely appearance. He was still in front of his uncle Sun Boya. What if the handsome old man thought he was bullying his daughter?

He took Qinghan's hand and returned to the main hall. Hua Chen bowed deeply to his uncle Sun Boya and said embarrassedly: "Uncle, since Qinghan is also present, I will tell the truth. You also know that I have started to prepare to return to Wu Kingdom recently. I plan to take Qinghan back to Gusu with me. If you really disagree, I must take this wedding book back. What do you think?"

Uncle Sun Boya nodded slightly. Hua Chen thought he agreed. Before he could have fun, he heard Uncle Sun Boya say, "Qinghan, what do you think?"

Qinghan was stunned at first, then said softly: "I~I listen to my father."

Uncle Sun Boya pondered for a moment and said, "If you follow my opinion, I agree with the marriage between you two. After all, from the perspective of a father, I hope to find you a good home. From the perspective of the leader of a clan, the betrothal gift offered by the young master is something I cannot refuse, but it is best to follow the etiquette system. The young master is the royal family, and my uncle Sun family can be regarded as a well-known clan. You have to prepare for the marriage between you and Mr. Huachen for at least half a year. It is better for you to stay in Qufu during this period."

After listening to his father's words, Qinghan turned around and looked at Hua Chen. Hua Chen whispered to Qinghan when his uncle Sun Boya was not paying attention, "Ziyu will go back to Qufu with me, are you sure not to be with me?"

"Father!" Qinghan suddenly looked up, and said without caring about the shame on his face: "I~I want to go with Brother Hua Chen."

Uncle Sun Boya was shocked by Qinghan's actions and thought to herself that this was still his daughter? When I glanced at Hua Chen's smile that had not yet been able to curl away, Uncle Sun Boya couldn't help but sigh in secret: If a woman is old, she won't be able to stay!

Hua Chen was also very scared by Qinghan's words. His words of deceiving Qinghan were just teasing her. Unexpectedly, she would react so much. In Hua Chen's impression of Qinghan was that she showed such a firm self-view that night outside Mengsun's mansion. Most of the rest, Qinghan showed off her appearance as a good girl with a weak sense of autonomy.

After shaved Qinghan's slightly wrinkled little nose, Hua Chen smiled and said, "I'm lying to you, I'm here to propose marriage to my uncle first, and I haven't gone to Mengsun's mansion yet. Think about it, even my uncle's enlightened elders think it's not appropriate for you to go back to Gusu with me, so old people like Mengsun would not agree. So I'd rather leave with the wedding letters of the two families and wait for the arrival of the two ladies in Gusu."

"Brother Huachen!" Qinghan said coquettishly and raised his fist high. After shaking it several times, she still let it go gently. After all, she couldn't do anything like Ziyu to treat "beating Huachen" as a homely routine like eating and drinking water.

Seeing Qinghan and Huachen standing in the center of the main hall flirting, Uncle Sun Boya's face softened.

That night outside Mengsun's mansion, he chose to give up Qinghan. He still remembered that when Qinghan's mother passed away, he swore that he would do everything he could to protect his daughter for a lifetime. As a result, he failed the appointment and felt ashamed of the woman he loved for the rest of his life.

Now my uncle Sun Boya really wants to be wholeheartedly good for Qinghan. If Qinghan hadn't loved Hua Chen deeply, even if he had used 30% of the sea salt as a betrothal gift, Uncle Sun Boya would have refused. There is no reason. He had already breached his trust once, and would never breach the trust for the second time.

Picking up the bamboo slips on the table, Uncle Sun Boya said, "Originally, Qinghan should have negotiated with the elders in the clan when he got married, but if the partner was a young master, I believe they would not have any objections. I accepted the prince's betrothal gift, and my uncle Sun family agreed to this family. After everything is ready, I will contact the head of the Mengsun family to marry his daughter together."

Shusun Boya's words were also accustomed to Hua Chen's idea. After all, the women of Mengsun's family had already occupied the right time, place and people. If Hua Chen would marry Qinghan alone but not Ziyu, he would not believe it if he beat Shusun Boya to death.

Symbolically accepting the "cold" betrothal gift from Hua Chen who stayed outside the mansion was also considered to be that Uncle Sun Boya truly accepted Hua Chen, the future son-in-law.

After Hua Chen left Shusun Mansion, Shusun Boya didn't even look at the betrothal gift. How could he say that happiness came too suddenly. He really couldn't think of the benefits brought by the 30% sea salt management rights that would be equivalent to the total annual income of Shusun's entire industry.

Compared to most people, Uncle Sun Boya is still a relatively easy person to satisfy. After all, he has a more or less a literati temperament in his body.

Shusun Boya knew that since Hua Chen gave Shusun such a betrothal gift, Mengsun would only have more but not less, so he did not gain any benefits in the competition with Mengsun. But on the other hand, if it weren't for Qinghan's relationship, Hua Chen would never have given Shusun this right to manage the huge wealth.

All Huachen wants is the relative balance of each family, and after Meng Sun's family obtained 30% of the management rights of Haiyan, they could only suppress Shu Sun's family economically, and could not completely change the pattern between the two families.

So if there was no Qinghan, the Mengsun family would not be a shortage of betrothal gifts, and the ending was obvious. In the future, the emerging forces represented by the Mengsun family, Shusun family and Yang Rui in Lu Kingdom would basically form a three-legged stalemate. Among the three, the Shusun family, which had no control of Haiyan, would naturally be the most weaker party.

As a hardworking little bee, Hua Chen naturally did what he did today and refused to delay until tomorrow. So after leaving Shusun Mansion, he returned to the villa with "holding a kitchen knife in his hand, cutting the electric wires, sparks and lightning all the way", and rushed to Mengsun Mansion with another car of "cold" betrothal gifts.

When he first arrived at Mengsun's mansion, Hua Chen asked his disciples to inform Mengsun Moyuan, but several disciples thought that Hua Chen was probably coming to find Ziyu. After all, that night, his eldest daughter saw the behavior of Mr. Hua Chen and all the generals and servants of Mengsun's mansion. So the two disciples acted separately and soon spread the news to Mengsun Moyuan's study and Ziyu's independent courtyard.

I have to say that Ziyu is still very enthusiastic about some things. She came to Meng Sun Moyuan's study with Hua Chen. When she heard that Hua Chen was here to propose marriage, the young lady wrapped in a red jacket waved her hand and ignored the old and young in the study. She only said: You two will decide. After that, she left the study, leaving Hua Chen and Meng Sun Moyuan with four eyes facing each other.

Just like Hua Chen thought, Meng Sun Moyuan firmly disagreed with Ziyu's direct return to Suzhou with Hua Chen, and also said heroically that he would prepare carefully and marry Ziyu out in the future.
