Chapter 124: Objection
Xu Qingqing handed him one of the glasses of wine, which he took but did not intend to drinkβthe wine, which symbolized the last covenant, was too bitter for him to drink.
Xu sighed lightly, picked up his cup and drank it all.
Suddenly, a blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Are you going to live up to yourself like this for the rest of your life?" Yan Jinrui looked at her and asked. There was both pity and slight reproach in his eyes.
She was only twenty-three years old.
Xu Qingqing sighed slightly, she couldn't answer his question.
If he hadn't come from such a prestigious family, maybe they would.
She crossed her heart, got up gently and said, "My lord, may you take care of yourself and see you again!" β
However, just as she was about to step out of the room, he grabbed her hand.
She was startled and immediately struggled silently.
However, his hand was so strong that she couldn't break free at all, so she had to whisper, "My lord, this is not appropriate, please let go." β
Her soft and tender hand was held by him, making him reluctant to let go. However, the panic on her face made him unbearable, so he had to reluctantly let go, but he immediately said: "I will go back to tell my parents about us tonight, and I will do my best to fight for it." β
Xu Qingqing's face turned pale suddenly, and she hurriedly said, "How can this be?" This will make the Yan family lose face in the entire Shilin circle. As he spoke, he couldn't help but redden.
Can she have such extravagant hopes? Since the death of the husband, there have indeed been many people who have come to the door to propose marriage, but those are some people who have died of their wives or whose family backgrounds are very ordinary and their personal abilities are very average. In the eyes of the matchmaker, a widow like her can only find such a family.
However, she refused to marry, no matter how much others persuaded her. Because that bad person and family background is not acceptable to her.
Yan Jinrui is her favorite type, but Yan Jinrui's background is too good, she knows that she is no longer qualified to climb high.
"I'm going to give it a try anyway, Qingqing, I'm not a person who is easy to get emotional, but once I'm emotional, I won't give up easily, I hope you can fight with me to the end." Yan Jinrui looked at her and said in a firm tone.
Xu Qingqing raised his head and looked at him. Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, the long-suppressed feelings suddenly exploded, and she resisted the urge to throw herself into his arms and asked, "Do you really want to go back and tell your parents?" β
The thought of that scene made her blush and feel overwhelmed.
Does she still deserve such perfect love from him?
Her mournful eyes stung him, and he pulled her tightly into his arms without any other thoughts.
"Fool. How do you know if you don't try? Don't worry, I'll talk to them. He said as he stroked her back.
This time she didn't resist and snuggled up to him submissively.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Yan Jinrui returned home, it was already dark.
The rest of the Yan family had already eaten dinner and were sitting in the hall waiting for him to come back.
"Sorry, sorry! I'm a bit busy today, so I came back late. Yan Jinrui said busily.
Except for Yan Yunpei, everyone else nodded in understanding.
Yan Yunpei continued his topic with a serious face and asked, "Are the emperors and grandsons very disobedient today?" β
"No, I just wanted to take a good test, so I stayed there and made a few questions." Yan Jinrui hurriedly replied.
"Have you had dinner?" Mrs. Lu asked.
"I've already eaten it."
Immediately, Yan Jinrui said to Yan Yunpei and Mrs. Lu: "Father, mother." The child has something to tell you. β
Yan Jinhao and his wife immediately took Brother Qiao back to the room with interest.
Yan Jinrui sent the people back down before saying, "Father, mother, the child has fallen in love with a woman." β
"Well, you should be looking for it too." Yan Yunpei said with a smile.
"I'll just say why did you come back so late late, did you go on a date with her?" Mrs. Lu asked.
Yan Jinrui coughed lightly in embarrassment.
I guess it's an answer.
"What girl is she? How old is Fang? How long have you known each other? ......" The two elders immediately asked with great interest.
Yan Jinrui was a little embarrassed to speak at first, but he soon mustered up his courage, and he said cautiously: "Her name is Xu Qingqing, she lives in Zhuangyuanzhuang, she is twenty-three years old, and we met in the palace......
Yan Yunpei and Madame Lu's faces darkened when they heard the news that she was a widow, but they didn't interrupt him halfway. But after he finished telling her life story in one breath, Yan Yunpei said: "There are so many good girls, you don't choose her, you make it clear that you want others to see our Yan family's jokes, right?" β
Yan Jinrui hurriedly said: "The child has no such intention. β
"You should know that the Yan family hasn't married a widow for a hundred years, right? Do you want to make an exception in your generation? Yan Yunpei asked sternly.
"She is both talented and beautiful, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and the child thinks it is worth making an exception, as the saying goes, 'no break is not standing'......"
"That's enough, no matter how good she is, I won't allow the Yan family to make this exception in my lifetime." Yan Yunpei immediately interrupted him.
Yan Jinrui was grief-stricken, coupled with disappointment and anger, he said in a deep voice: "Daddy, you are a rubber pillar drummer, the second brother has become a victim of marriage because of you, do you still want to sacrifice my happiness?" β
Yan Yunpei was shocked by his words. He was very angry, but he also admitted that the third child's words poked him in the sore spot, and it was precisely because he had always felt guilty about the second child's family affairs that he would have a liberal and democratic attitude towards the third child's lifelong events. thought that as long as the third child liked it, the family was quite good, but he never expected that the third child would like a widow, which was beyond the limit of his tolerance, so he forced himself to hold back the ups and downs of his mind and said: "I said that I would give you a lot of freedom in marriage matters, but I didn't say that you were allowed to marry a widow willfully." β
"A widow is also a human being, and the death of her husband is not something she can control." Yan Jinrui defended in a low voice.
"You don't have to speak for her. You just need to think about the prestige of our Yan family for more than a hundred years, you should know how to reconcile the big self and the small self, if you can't even think about this truth, then leave the Yan family, the right to be a son without you. β
When Mrs. Lu heard what he said, she was immediately frightened, and hurriedly pressed his hand and said, "Master, you are angry, and you have something to say." β
Yan Jinrui didn't expect his father's reaction to be so intense, and he was completely dispossessed for a while. If you want him to leave the Yan family, it will never work, he can't be so ruthless and unjust. But if he listened to his father's opinion, then the matter between himself and Xu Qingqing could only be written off.
Such a dilemma was encountered for the first time in his twenty-three years of life, and he was at a loss, so he hurriedly asked Mrs. Lu for help with his eyes.
Mrs. Lu told him through her eyes - don't mention this matter again for the time being, and talk about it later.
He thought about it and felt that it was the same, so he apologized to Yan Yunpei and went back to the study alone.
The night's thoughts had made him a lot haggard, but he knew that even if he mentioned it to his father after a while, he would not get his permission.
He could no longer pin his hopes on his father, he had to find another way.
A thought suddenly sprung up in his heart, and his eyes lit up.
He didn't even eat breakfast and went to the palace. (To be continued.) )
