Zhu Yao listened to her mother's words and only smiled faintly.
She did not say anything.
Minister Zhu looked at his wife and said, "Why are you saying this?"
"My heart aches for our daughter."
"They won't treat Yao 'er coldly, don't worry. Moreover, you saw the Marquis's attitude just now. He treated us so warmly, when was he neglecting us? You're a woman, don't gossip here. "" I'm gossiping? Master, I'm speaking the truth. Today is the first time we've met. Although the Marquis has done his best in etiquette, Yao 'er will marry into the Marquis's household in the future. Today, the Marquis didn't come. Isn't this the same as treating our daughter coldly?
You're still speaking up for them, not thinking about our daughter. "Madam Zhu only had this one daughter. She was the apple of her eye and loved her dearly.
Being treated like this by the Marquis of Kangding's heir, she was naturally unhappy!
Minister Zhu felt a headache coming on. He frowned and said, "Alright, alright, don't say anymore. No matter what, I am still the Minister of Rites. They won't treat Yao 'er coldly. Otherwise, wouldn't that be not giving me face? "
To this, Madame Zhu only snorted coldly, "Your face? You're marrying your daughter to the Marquis for your face! "
"What do you mean?"
"Who in Yan Jing City doesn't know that the heir of the Marquis of Kang Ding relies on his position as the heir of the Marquis of Kang Ding, so he idles around all day and doesn't do any proper work. If it wasn't for the fact that he was born good, which daughter would be willing to be defiled by him for nothing?" "You … The more you speak, the more outrageous it is." Minister Zhu's expression suddenly changed greatly, and his tone was stern. That Marquis went to the Su household to seek knowledge. Don't you know what kind of person General Su is? If he can teach you a thing or two, it will be better than reading! The Marquis is so ambitious and sensible. Why are you still bringing this up? If others hear it and the Marquis hears it, how am I supposed to conduct myself? Won't people talk behind my back in court?
？”
Madam Zhu was full of words and was about to retort …
Zhu Yao, who had been silent all this time, grabbed her mother's hand and said gently, "Mother, don't say anymore."
If they continued talking, they might end up fighting!
Madame Zhu looked at her gentle daughter, and her heart involuntarily welled up with a wave of sorrow. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Mother does not want to part with you, and my heart aches for you."
"My daughter has grown up."
"No matter how much you grow up, you're still my daughter!"
"Mother, you don't have to worry. In fact, Father is right. The heir is busy seeking knowledge, which shows that he has the heart to improve. Since this is the case, I should be happy! You can't say such things again. "
"Are you really willing to marry me?"
A trace of shyness immediately appeared on Zhu Yao's face. She clasped her hands tightly together and a smile appeared on her lips. She said, "I know that mother does not like the heir, but father and the Marquis have already made the decision. I am naturally willing to marry."
Minister Zhu and Madame Zhu didn't know what she was thinking.
Minister Zhu nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Yao 'er, I am very relieved that you are so sensible."
Zhu Yao said, "Father, don't worry, as soon as you choose a good day, your daughter will marry."
In Minister Zhu's eyes, his daughter was indeed very sensible.
Since ancient times, the words of parents were the matchmaker. Even if Zhu Yao wanted to, there was no way she could refuse.
Thus, Madame Zhu didn't say anything more. She only grabbed her daughter's hand and gently patted it a few times.
Thinking that her daughter was about to marry, tears once again welled up in her eyes.
Zhu Yao lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. Outside, the spring breeze caressed her face, making her heart feel comfortable.
She looked at the distant azure sky, and a smile gradually appeared on her lips.
In reality, she had seen Li Shiyan before!
That was two years ago …
That day, the weather was very good. She was on a boat on the lake with a zither in her hand.
However, she didn't think that the water would suddenly surge and the boat would violently shake. She, who didn't know how to swim, was extremely afraid at that time. The maidservant beside her also didn't know how to swim.
"Miss? What should we do? "The maidservant was worried.
The boatman stood at the bow and turned his head to say, "Two misses, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, the boat would be overturned!
She and her personal maidservant both fell into the water!
The boatman also fell into the water. Although he knew how to swim, he only had a pair of hands. Naturally, he couldn't save the two of them. Unfortunately, the maidservant was close to him, so he didn't have time to think about anything else. He directly scooped the maidservant up.
At that time, Zhu Yao choked on the water and couldn't even make a sound. She was extremely scared and kept struggling in the water.
The water poured into her mouth and down her throat!
It was very uncomfortable.
She only felt that her body's strength was being used up bit by bit. She became weaker and weaker, and her whole body sank. In front of her, there were only ripples on the surface of the water, flashing …
Finally, she lost consciousness!
When she woke up again, she was already on the shore!
Her ears were filled with the maidservant's voice, "Miss, Miss, don't scare this servant, Miss …"
She opened her eyes, "Cai 'er?"
The maidservant wiped away her tears. Seeing that she had woken up, she cried even more, "Miss, you're finally awake."
Zhu Yao gradually regained consciousness and sat up. Only then did she realize that her body was covered by a piece of clothing. At a glance, it was obvious that the clothing belonged to a man. She grabbed the clothing and asked, "I … Wasn't I in the water?"
Cai 'er said, "It's all thanks to a young master who saved Miss, otherwise, this servant really wouldn't know what to do."
"Who?" Her tone was very soft.
Cai 'er suddenly turned her gaze to the bridge in the distance. There were a total of three men on the bridge. She raised her hand and pointed at a man who wasn't wearing a robe and was completely soaked, "It's that young master."
Zhu Yao looked over and saw that the man who saved her was wringing out the water from his clothes while saying something to the two people beside him. As they talked, they also played around.
In an instant, the man turned his head!
The man was handsome. Although he had a bit of a ruffian's aura, he had a youthful aura.
It was also at that moment that Zhu Yao remembered him.
"He … Who is he?"
Cai 'er recalled and said, "I only heard someone call him … Heir, yes, heir!"
In Yan Jing City, the only person who was called heir was Li Shiyan!
Zhu Yao remembered this name for two years.
She never thought that two years later, on this day, she would actually be able to marry him.
When she heard this news, she didn't sleep for several nights. She was waiting to see him today and also wanted to thank him in person.
