Chapter 305: Rejected
There was silence in the hall for a moment, the county magistrate did not reply, and Haoyue was not in a hurry, waiting patiently.
Zhao Yanran, on the other hand, was startled by the news of the marriage as soon as she entered the door, and then her face turned rosy again. She lowered her head and kept twisting her sleeves in her hands, feeling very embarrassed.
She secretly blamed Miss Wang for being so direct and not giving her a buffer. As soon as she came in, Miss Wang started talking about the marriage with her father. This, this made her think what was good.
Finally, the county magistrate spoke, but his answer did not satisfy Haoyue.
"Here, I'm afraid I can't agree to this, Shopkeeper Wang."
Haoyue's right eyebrow raised, the hand holding the teacup paused, an evil smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she asked softly: "What did you say?" If she heard correctly, this little old man had just rejected her,
He actually rejected her!
The county magistrate could clearly hear the displeasure in Haoyue's tone. Seeing the evil smile on this beautiful face, he felt that his heart was half cold. However, even though he was covered in cold sweat, he
Can only refuse.
Different from the previous one, where he might have just refused a little out of breath, now he couldn't wait to explain, and there was a hint of pleading in his explanation tone.
"This, Shopkeeper Wang, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want to marry my daughter to your family. Shopkeeper Wang, you are so good, I guess your brother must also be the best among people. But, just, when I went out to attend the banquet a few days ago,
While drunk, I accidentally agreed to the Li family in the west and gave my daughter to the second son of his family." Although the county magistrate stumbled, he made it clear.
After hearing this, Zhao Yanran shouted in surprise before Haoyue, "Dad, what did you say? I, why didn't I know that you had already betrothed me!" At the end of the sentence, the girl actually shed tears.
Come on, it can be seen that his mood is not ordinary.
But it's no wonder that Zhao Yanran has such intense emotions. Originally, she and Wang Xin had agreed to get married. Now that Wang Xin's sister has also come to the house to propose marriage, it seems that the matter is about to be finalized.
Suddenly her father told her that she could not marry Wang Xin, but would marry an unknown person because of her father's drunken talk. Since ancient times, she understood the principle of "parents' orders, matchmaker's words." In this way, she
Then he could only accept his fate.
Seeing that she was only one step away from being with her sweetheart, but that this step was about to be cut off forever, how could she not be emotional, how could she not feel aggrieved, how could she remain reserved and continue to act like the lady she was?
Haoyue turned her head, originally just wanting to pat her hand to calm her down, but when she saw the person next to her crying so sadly, with tears streaming down her face, she was stunned for a moment.
Grabbing her hand, Haoyue whispered: "Don't worry, I have a way, don't cry." Now she could only comfort her like this.
If Zhao Yanran is allowed to continue crying, the county magistrate will inevitably find out that something is wrong. After asking after she leaves, Zhao Yanran will definitely drag everything out. It's okay for her to say it, but even if she says it,
It's a mutual love, but it's also very detrimental to their reputations.
Even if Zhao Yanran can still get married, Wang Xin may not be able to marry a girl from a good family again. Which girl is willing to marry such a playboy who can "seduce the hearts of young girls"? You know, people's words are terrible.
