"Well, I will cherish this thing and I won't lose it."
The two people were talking and the carriage slowly stopped.
"Master, the eldest young lady has arrived. The eldest lady is waiting for you outside the mansion!" the maid opened the curtain and said.
"I understand, let's go out right now." Leng Yushan responded, and then walked out of the carriage with Ye.
"Mom and Dad, you are finally here," Leng Shuang'er came up to meet her, took Ye's arm, and said, "Mom, dad, let's go home quickly!"
"Yes." Ye Shi smiled kindly and nodded.
Leng Yushan looked at his daughter's happy face and smiled helplessly. This daughter was older and had her own ideas.
Leng Yushan and his wife returned home with Leng Shuang'er. Leng Yushan helped his wife sit down, then looked at his daughter and asked, "Shuang'er, what do you want from us?"
Leng Shuang'er took out a letter from her sleeve pocket, "This is a letter from home, it's Gu Tingyu.
"
"This kid really sent you a letter." Ye looked at her daughter in surprise, "Shuang'er, what are you going to do with this letter?"
"I'm going to write him a letter and tell him that after I pass the exam, I will go to the capital to find him in person and then discuss our wedding date. I believe I can pass the provincial exam."
"Do you really have this confidence?" Leng Yushan raised his eyebrows and asked. Although his daughter's academic performance is very good, this is a provincial examination after all, and it is not as easy as the provincial examination. In particular, this kind of question is more tricky, and even if it is passed, it may not be possible.
.
Leng Shuang'er nodded, "Dad, do you believe me?"
"Well, since you have said it, there is nothing I can do." Leng Yushan said bitterly, "If you want to get a meritorious degree, of course I, as a father, will support you. I just hope you don't disappoint us too much."
"Dad, don't worry! I will definitely pass the exam." Leng Shuang'er vowed, "I have asked a great scholar, if he can help me with the details, maybe I can successfully pass the exam.
"
"So awesome." Leng Yushan asked in surprise.
"Dad, you don't need to ask anymore, you just need to know that your daughter will definitely be able to pass the examination as a scholar." Leng Shuang'er said with a smile, she is going to be a high official!
"Okay, I'll just wait and see." Leng Yushan smiled and shook his head. This daughter is getting more and more naughty. She was spoiled by him and her mother. Alas!
While the father and daughter were chatting, a maid came over with a letter, "Master and Madam, this is the letter that the eldest lady has just received. I don't know who sent it."
Leng Yushan took the letter, opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, my son-in-law received a package from his father-in-law and mother-in-law today. I am very happy. My father-in-law and mother-in-law love me so much, which really scares my son-in-law. I would like to wish my father-in-law and mother-in-law a happy New Year and eternal health and longevity.
In addition, after this year's taxes are paid, my son-in-law will send someone to deliver the banknotes to his house, and he will wait for the good news from his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
This letter was written very clearly. In addition to a few auspicious words, it also included some blessings.
After reading the letter, Leng Yushan handed it to Leng Shuang'er, "Shuang'er, what do you think of this letter?"
Leng Shuang'er took a look at the contents inside the envelope, and then said: "I think the letter is pretty good, but I don't know who he is, so I want you, my parents, to check this person's identity for me."
"Okay, I will order someone to go and find out." Leng Yushan nodded, "Shuang'er, dad knows that you want to break off the engagement with that boy from the Yang family, but dad also knows that you will definitely be reluctant to let go of this matter, so just give it to me again
Give him some time and let him think it over carefully. When he changes his mind, we will discuss your marriage."
What Leng Yushan said makes sense, but Leng Shuang'er doesn't dare to gamble at all now!
What if this man suddenly changes his attention? Leng Shuang'er doesn't dare to take the risk.
Leng Yushan and his wife looked at their precious daughter and said, "Shuang'er, don't worry, your parents won't force you. It's just that they hope you can find someone who really likes you. This Gu Tingyu looks really good, and so do your parents."
I hope you can be together."
"Dad, don't worry! My daughter will definitely grasp her marriage and will never let down your expectations of me." Leng Shuang'er said with a smile.
She is not Leng Yushan and Ye's only daughter, and her three younger siblings did not crawl out of Ye's belly. They would not agree to such a daughter.
"Shuang'er, you have to know that you are the daughter that our couple loves most, and we can't bear to watch you jump into the fire pit." Mrs. Ye gently patted the back of her daughter's hand and said, "Don't worry, no matter what
No matter what happens, your parents will stand by your side, and they will not allow anyone to hurt you."
"Well, thank you, mother." Leng Shuang'er smiled and hugged Mr. Ye, and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will protect myself. No matter what, I will make sure that you are safe and sound. Don't be too nervous about you and dad."
Don't worry, I will take care of these trivial matters myself."
Ye's heart felt warm after listening to her daughter's words. She nodded, "Well, then you should pay attention to your own safety."
"I know," Leng Shuang'er nodded and agreed.
"Dad, I'm going back to my room to rest first." Leng Shuang'er said, then turned and left, leaving only Leng Yushan and Ye.
After returning to the house, Leng Shuang'er lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"Shuang'er, are you worried about tomorrow's exam?" When Leng Yushan came in, he saw his daughter frowning and seemed to be thinking about something troublesome, so he asked.
"I..." Leng Shuang'er hesitated, what should she tell her father?
"Dad, don't worry! I know what to do. Dad, go to bed early! Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Leng Shuang'er said.
"You are so stubborn." Leng Yushan sighed, "Okay, then you should rest quickly!"
After Leng Yushan left, Leng Shuang'er immediately changed her clothes. After putting on her shoes and socks, Leng Shuang'er took her personal maid Hongyu and quietly came to the address where Gu Tingyu wrote to her. This address was not very far from here.
, if you ride a horse, you can get there in about one stick of incense.
Leng Shuang'er looked at the house in front of her and wondered, does this person live here? He didn't look like an ordinary rich man, but he didn't reveal his identity. What on earth did he want to do?
"Girl, wouldn't it be inappropriate if we rush there like this?" Hongyu said with some worry.
Leng Shuang'er waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, he has already written to me. Let's go over and see what his orders are. He won't embarrass me."
Sure enough, after Leng Shuang'er and Hong Yu knocked on the door, footsteps sounded inside. As the footsteps slowly approached, the door creaked open. Leng Shuang'er looked up and was startled.
"Gu Tingyu, why are you here?" Leng Shuang'er exclaimed.
Gu Tingyu raised his lips slightly and smiled, "Shuang'er, I'm waiting for you to come to me. Let's go in and talk!"
Leng Shuang'er looked at him with a dazed expression, then nodded and followed Gu Tingyu towards the study.
Gu Tingyu sat on the chair, while Leng Shuang'er stood in front of Gu Tingyu, "Tell me, what exactly did you come to see me for."
Leng Shuang'er asked straightforwardly, she always felt that there must be something fishy in this.
"Shuang'er, I came to you this time to ask for your help with something," Gu Tingyu said, taking out a piece of paper from his arms and putting it on the table, "Shuang'er, take a look at this thing.
Maybe you will know the answer."
Leng Shuang'er took the note doubtfully, unfolded it and looked at the words on it, her face suddenly changed.
"How is it? Do you understand?" Gu Tingyu said indifferently.
Leng Shuang'er took a deep breath and then said, "Gu Tingyu, what do you want to do?"
"I want to marry you." Gu Tingyu spoke slowly, staring at Leng Shuang'er without blinking.
"Gu Tingyu, you know my character. What you do will only be counterproductive. I will never agree." Leng Shuang'er said through gritted teeth.
"Of course I know your character. You won't agree to marry me, but I don't want to marry another woman. What I want is you." Gu Tingyu said seriously.
His lifelong wish is just to stay with Leng Shuang'er for the rest of his life. As for other women, he doesn't like them.
"You..." Leng Shuang'er was a little angry. She felt uncomfortable being threatened. However, Gu Tingyu caught her weakness again. If she didn't follow the method of taking care of Tingyu, then Leng Yushan and Ye would definitely
worried.
Leng Shuang'er was silent for a long time, and then asked, "If I agree to marry you, how will you help my brother?"
"As long as I am alive, I will not let anything happen to your brother." Gu Tingyu said solemnly.
Leng Shuang'er lowered her head and said for a long time: "Okay, then I believe you."
Although she didn't know why Gu Tingyu chose to marry her, since she had reached this point, she would not refuse. After all, her current situation was already very critical. If anything happened to her brother, she would definitely not forgive herself.
After Leng Yushan and Ye knew that Leng Shuang'er agreed to Gu Tingyu's proposal, they did not stop her. After all, in this era, once a woman agrees to someone's proposal, she must keep her promise, otherwise she will be spurned.
Although Leng Yushan and Ye Shi disapproved of Leng Shuang'er agreeing to Gu Tingyu's proposal of marriage so quickly, they thought that their son had reached the age of marriage and if it was delayed any longer, it would not be good for his career, so they
I just agreed.
"Our Leng family will not treat you badly. We have prepared your betrothal gift. Don't worry!" Ye Shi gently stroked Leng Shuang'er's hair. She knew Leng Shuang'er didn't like this, but for her
Her brother, she can only wrong herself.
Leng Shuang'er didn't say a word. She had been accompanying Leng Yushan and Ye in the past few days, and occasionally went to check on Leng Yushan's condition. Her heart was full of guilt. If it weren't for her, Leng Yushan wouldn't have to endure these pains.
It's all her fault, it's all her fault, it was she who harmed Leng Yushan and Ye Shi, it was she who made them suffer.
Her heart was filled with regret. If possible, she hoped that she could go back to the past and change everything so that Leng Yushan and the others would not be harmed.
In the past few days, she has also thought clearly. Instead of letting her blame herself, she should try her best to help Leng Yushan survive this disaster.
"Mom and dad, don't worry, leave this matter to me and I will definitely take care of it." Leng Yushan said with a smile.
Gu Tingyu's men quickly delivered the betrothal gift to Leng Mansion, and Gu Tingyu also sent secret guards to protect Leng Yushan.
Leng Yushan looked at the pile of gold and silver jewelry and silk and satin, and felt relieved.
Although Leng Shuang'er is said to be a concubine, the fact that Gu Tingyu can offer such a generous betrothal gift this time is enough to show that he is very sincere.
His son has always been very independent, and he doesn't know why Gu Tingyu suddenly proposed marriage this time. But no matter what, Leng Yushan is very grateful to Gu Tingyu.
Both Leng Yushan and Ye told Leng Shuang'er about this incident, and Leng Shuang'er was also very surprised when she heard about it.
She looked at the boxes of rare treasures, and finally her eyes fell on Leng Yushan.
"Mom and dad, please go out first. I want to talk to Gu Tingyu alone. I have a lot of things to ask him." Leng Shuang'er said.
"Okay!" Leng Yushan nodded, and then pulled Ye back out. This chapter has been completed!
