Chapter 53
"Let go first." He used strength, and Wei Hanzhang realized that his wrist was being held, and twitched hastily, "Let go!"
Xiao Junzhan paused for a moment, then loosened the grip and stared at her silently.
Wei Hanzhang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. He rubbed his wrist and said, "Are you specifically keeping an eye on my news? The Gu family just came to cancel the engagement this morning, and you found out so quickly."
"Well..." Xiao Junzhan did not deny it, but nodded slowly and said, "In case you refuse me another engagement with him, you will naturally have to pay attention to it. Now that you have broken off the engagement, it will be good for everyone."
Good to everyone…
Wei Hanzhang curled his lips in his heart, what does "be good to everyone" mean? It is obviously better for him.
Seeing that she looked at ease, she didn't seem to be too trapped by love, and she didn't think she was too affected by the breakup of the engagement. Xiao Junzhan calmed down his anxious and angry mood, and said warmly: "Ran Ran, now that you have an insignificant 'engagement', can you think about it carefully?" Me?"
"..." Wei Hanzhang choked. Seeing an attendant bringing two chairs, she took the lead and sat down without hesitation. She raised her head and asked without answering, "When will the Jiang family's case be decided?"
Xiao Junzhan knew her concerns and never thought of using the Jiang family's affairs to influence her decision. Hearing this, he said frankly: "The case will be settled within three days. By then, only Jiang Zixiu will be exiled to Lingnan. As for the boss of Jiang, People, I will send guards to **** them back to their hometown."
"The property of the Jiang family will not be confiscated by the court, and the official status of your other two uncles are still there," Xiao Junzhan said warmly: "The descendants of the Jiang family can still become officials and will not be affected by Jiang Zixiu. Your maternal grandfather's family It won’t hurt your muscles and bones, and you will still be a prominent family in Xuzhou.”
"Since I have agreed to this matter, nothing will happen again. Ranran doesn't have to worry about making me unhappy or harming the Jiang family."
The man in front of him had a soft voice, and his eyes seemed to be full of stars when he looked at him. He was so gentle. Wei Hanzhang only looked at him for a moment, his heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he hurriedly turned his eyes away and retreated.
Xiao Junzhan paused and said, "Ran Ran, I like you and want to marry you. You..."
"Stop talking!" Wei Hanzhang couldn't listen anymore. He felt like smoke was coming out of his throat and said angrily: "I just called off the engagement. How can I think about other things? Why are you so eager to force me? !”
We just broke up. How could anyone find a new wife so quickly? Still like this...
Wei Hanzhang was full of embarrassment and wanted to find fault, but he found that the man in front of him had perfect conditions except that he was a second-married man.
But, what she cares about most is this...
It doesn't matter if she likes it, or if she has a little heartbeat, she can't violate her own principles.
As soon as she finished speaking, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Junzhan stood tall and tall. He slowly lowered his eyes and stopped looking at her. The air around him seemed to be stagnant.
Ning Hai quietly took half a step back. Even though he had witnessed his Highness being frustrated countless times in front of the girl he admired during this period, it did not affect his admiration for this Wei girl who had taken the courage of a leopard more every time than the last time. .
Xiao Junzhan stood silently for a long time. No one dared to make a sound except for the gentle summer wind blowing in the courtyard.
This unbearable silence made Wei Hanzhang belatedly realize the majesty of the man in front of him. When he was sitting a little uneasy, he heard his voice: "What if I didn't marry you?"
Xiao Junzhan said calmly: "I don't want to make you sad, Ran Ran might as well think about how to accept me happily."
“...What do you mean by that?” Wei Hanzhang looked slightly restrained.
Is this a threat? Yes...right?
"I should ask you this," Xiao Junzhan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Ran Ran, what do you mean to me?"
He is angry.
Wei Hanzhang stared at his indifferent face, wondering what he was angry about.
Are you angry because she didn't readily agree to marry?
After thinking for a moment, Wei Hanzhang said: "Since you heard my conversation with Gu Yunran that day at Fengxia Mountain, you should know what my requirements for my future husband are."
Xiao Junzhan was slightly startled. The mountains and forests were empty, and the conversation between her and the husband of the Gu family was not very loud. In fact, he did not hear the specific content.
Just looking at their expressions as if they were quarreling, I knew they were not getting along well.
Wei Hanzhang did not look at him and whispered: "It's one thing that you are older. It's not that I can't accept this, but..."
Being mentioned as being ‘old’ again, Xiao Junzhan looked calm, “But what?”
"..." Wei Hanzhang hesitated, and under his focused eyes, he confessed: "Since I was a child, I have made a decision. The husband I want to marry in the future must be clean and clean, and there must be no in-laws or concubines. Clan, dancer, prostitute, and..."
"Wait..." Xiao Junzhan frowned and interrupted her increasingly outrageous words, "I won't have those things around me, you don't need to worry about this."
What did the Jiang family teach her? How could she even talk nonsense about 'child molestation'?
“Even if there are no prostitutes, there are quite a few concubines in your backyard... There are also two concubines and one concubine. By the way, your legitimate wife also left a posthumous son who was born after the death of her husband..."
His categorical denial made Wei Hanzhang's expression indescribable. If she hadn't inquired about Jiang in a roundabout way, she would have been deceived by his appearance.
Wei Hanzhang said: "I am still young, and I have only learned a little bit about the headmaster. I am not stable enough in temperament, and I am not sophisticated in my dealings. I cannot scare those concubines in your backyard. I am also extremely stingy and jealous, and I cannot be upright to others." Mrs. Shi’s tolerance and generosity are truly a good match for you.”
“You have helped me a lot, and I am very touched, but a woman’s lifelong affairs cannot be too cautious, and I really don’t want to marry you because I am moved.”
She spoke sincerely, detailing the areas where she thought the two were incompatible, and finally concluded: "Xiao Boqian, you'd better find another dignified lady as your stepmother. With your status, The ladies of the capital are at your disposal.”
It was extremely rare for her to speak such a long conversation in one breath. Xiao Junzhan listened quietly without interrupting, but his expression became more and more complicated, and he stared at her with a strange look.
Based on his understanding over the past few days, Wei Hanzhang knew his temperament. This Prince Xiao might be uninhibited in matters between men and women, but he was by no means an unreasonable person. He would definitely be able to listen to what she said, so Sitting patiently on the chair, waiting for his answer.
But Xiao Junzhan was a little confused. He was stunned for a long time, and then he said softly: "What if I am alone and there is no one else in the backyard?"
After a pause, he added: "From now on, you will be the only one. Would you like to..."
"No!" Wei Hanzhang stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Xiao Boqian, although I thought you were a dissolute and romantic person before, I still thought you were an upright gentleman. Now it seems that I have misjudged the person."
