Chapter 217 I don’t agree with this marriage
After returning to the house, Jiang Yutong personally checked Jiang Yuwen's wound. Seeing that there was no serious problem, he felt relieved.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuwen seemed a little distracted.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Sister, I...I want to ask a matchmaker to go to the Du Mansion to propose marriage."
Jiang Yutong was stunned. She didn't expect that her obscure brother would finally come to her senses. "Okay, I'll take care of this."
Jiang Yuwen didn't expect that Jiang Yutong didn't ask any questions and helped him arrange it so readily.
"Do you...do you think the Du family will agree?"
Jiang Yutong didn't expect Jiang Yuwen to be so anxious and worried. "Just try it and you'll know. Have you talked to Xiaoyao about it?"
Jiang Yuwen nodded, her face slightly red, "Yeah."
"That's no problem. Go eat something first and I'll take care of these things."
Jiang Yuwen nodded. He hadn't eaten anything since this morning and he had to go on duty soon. He still had to think about the marriage proposal carefully.
At the Du Mansion, as soon as Du Xiaoyao returned home, Madam Du hugged her and started crying, "You silly child, you are a child of the Du family. We will never sell our daughter for fame and fortune. Don't scare your mother again in the future."
Du Xiaoyao was also crying.
The eldest brother of the Du family bowed solemnly to Du Xiaoyao and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. From now on, I will never interfere in your marriage again."
It was impossible for Du Xiaoyao to say that she had no grudge against the eldest brother of the Du family. She just nodded and said nothing.
Seeing the brother and sister like this, Mrs. Du could only change the subject, "You've been busy for so long, go eat something and get a good sleep."
"Wait until you get up, and we'll go to the Jiang Mansion with our things. If it weren't for Yutong's elder brother, who knows what would have happened."
Speaking of Jiang Yuwen, Du Xiaoyao thought for a moment before speaking, "While everyone is here, I have something to announce."
"Brother Jiang will come to propose marriage in a few days, and I have already agreed."
When the news came out, everyone was stunned. Mrs. Du was a little anxious and looked Du Xiaoyao up and down. "What happened yesterday? Jiang Yuwen treated you..."
At first, Du Xiaoyao didn't react. After a while, she finally understood what Mrs. Du meant. She immediately became annoyed. "Mom, what are you talking about? Who do you think Brother Jiang is? And who do you think your daughter is?"
Mrs. Du regretted it the moment she said it. She had been really troubled for the past two days, and thousands of bad thoughts had flashed through her mind. Now that she came back to propose marriage, it was inevitable that she would think too much.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I just wonder why we're talking about proposing marriage out of the blue?"
Du Xiaoyao was still very angry, "We are in love with each other, and he saved my life."
Mr. Du glared at Madam Du and said sternly, "Okay, your mother just said the wrong thing, and you're tired. Go down and rest first. We'll talk after you've rested."
Du Xiaoyao left angrily.
As soon as the Du family and others left, you looked at me and I looked at you.
It was Du Wenshu who said, "Brother Jiang knows the family inside and out. There's no mother-in-law at home, only Miss Jiang and her sister-in-law. Miss Jiang and Xiaoyao are as close as sisters. I think this marriage is a good one."
After Du Wenshu said this, Mrs. Du nodded. She has always liked Jiang Yutong and his sister. Jiang Yuwen is now the General of Zhennan, and he will be a good match for the Du family.
The eldest brother of the Du family's eyes lit up. The Jiang family was a good marriage. Let alone Jiang Yuwen, even Jiang Yutong was the future Princess of the Underworld. Marrying into the Jiang family was not a bad idea.
Remembering that he had just said that he would no longer interfere in his sister's marriage, the eldest brother of the Du family did not express his opinion in the end.
Mr. Du pondered for a moment, "Let's all go down. We'll talk about this later. We'll go to the Jiang Mansion with gifts to express our gratitude. Regardless of whether there's a proposal of marriage or not, we owe the Jiang family a big favor, so a visit to express our gratitude is essential."
The Du brothers nodded in agreement.
Finally, only Master Du and Madam Du were left. Madam Du looked at Master Du and said, "Master, what do you think of this marriage?"
Master Du sighed and said, "You don't understand your daughter yet. After such an incident, as long as she likes it, it's fine. Besides, Jiang Yuwen is a good person."
Mrs. Du also nodded. If this could be accomplished, she would feel relieved.
Early the next morning, the Du family brought gifts to the Jiang residence to express their gratitude. Jiang Yutong and Jiang Yuwen received the guests together.
Jiang Yuwen blushed when he saw Du Xiaoyao, but other than that, his speech and behavior were good.
Mr. Du also had a pleasant conversation with him and nodded frequently.
Jiang Yuwen solemnly brought up the matter of marriage proposal to everyone in the Du family. The Du family reached a consensus yesterday. After talking with Jiang Yuwen again today, they were even more satisfied and no one objected.
Master Du nodded. "This time, it's all thanks to you. Since you and Yao'er are in love, as parents, how could we have any objections? It's just that my daughter has been spoiled by me since she was a child. I hope you can be more tolerant."
Jiang Yuwen glanced at Du Xiaoyao and said, "Uncle, please rest assured. I will treat Xiaoyao as my own sister."
Jiang Yutong sat next to him, a little speechless, thinking of this blockhead brother.
On the contrary, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were very pleased to hear this. They also saw Jiang Yuwen's feelings for Jiang Yutong, and it would be great to treat her as his own sister.
Du Xiaoyao was quiet throughout the day.
The people from the Du family had dinner at the Jiang family before going back.
Even if both parties have reached a verbal agreement, the final step is just to go through the motions.
Jiang Yutong became busy, preparing for Jiang Yuwen's proposal. She originally thought that everything would go smoothly, but she didn't expect that Zhong Qionglan would also help Jiang Yuwen find a partner at this time.
Zhong Qionglan came to the door early in the morning and stopped Jiang Yuwen who was about to leave. "Don't leave so quickly. I have something to tell you."
Jiang Yuwen stopped and Zhong Qionglan pulled him back to the house, where Jiang Yutong was also there.
"You're already an adult, it's time to start planning your marriage. It doesn't make sense that your sister is engaged but your brother isn't."
"I've asked around these past few days, and several families want to marry into our family."
Jiang Yuwen and Jiang Yutong looked at each other and frowned.
Since the incident at the temple, Jiang Yuwen and Zhong Qionglan had been less in touch. Jiang Yuwen quickly interrupted Zhong Qionglan and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about me. I just want to tell you that I plan to propose to Du Xiaoyao from the Du family in two days."
Zhong Qionglan was stunned. "Which Du family?"
"The Du family in Yinbai County. His brother just returned to Beijing to take up a post. The Du family has always taken good care of my brother and me in Yinbai County. Xiaoyao is also my sister's friend."
Zhong Qionglan thought about it but couldn't remember which family this Du family was. They were people with no official position in the capital. She shook her head and said, "No, I don't agree to this marriage."
