Chapter 262 She Would Never Marry a Cripple
Chapter 262 She Would Never Marry a Cripple
After a stick of incense, Jiang Suining left Guangyun Tower, holding in his hand the painting "The Hidden Fisherman".
Thinking back to the business that Mei Qinniang mentioned just now, Jiang Suining's eyes sank slightly and he thought deeply.
"Sui Ning!" Chu Jingyue's voice interrupted Jiang Sui Ning's thoughts.
Jiang Suining looked at Chu Jingyue who was walking towards her quickly and smiled, "I didn't expect you to actually come here."
After receiving the time set by Guangyun Tower yesterday, she asked someone to deliver a letter to Chu Jingyue. It was originally just because she had promised it before, but she didn't expect that Chu Jingyue was already waiting here.
"Let me see the painting you have." Chu Jingyue looked at the painting in Jiang Suining's hand curiously.
When Chu Jingyue realized it was actually "The Hidden Fisherman", she was stunned, "Hasn't this painting been sold?"
"The owner of Guangyun Building claimed that she bought this painting."
"It's strange. If she was so reluctant to part with it and spent a huge amount of money to buy it back, why would she put it up again?" Chu Jingyue's tone revealed curiosity.
Seeing that Jiang Suining didn't say much, Chu Jingyue didn't keep asking questions. Instead, she took Jiang Suining's arm and told her another piece of news.
"engagement?"
Jiang Suining walked into the carriage while looking at Chu Jingyue.
"Did Duke Yang's Mansion bring up this matter first?"
"That's right." Chu Jingyue nodded. "My father happened to be at the Prime Minister's Mansion today. I heard that Duke Yang personally went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and said that the Duke's Mansion felt extremely guilty about Li Zheng's injury. If Prime Minister Li doesn't mind, he will arrange a marriage for Yang Manman and Li Zheng. In this way, Yang Manman can take care of Li Zheng in person in the future."
Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows. Duke Yang's decision was not unexpected.
If this matter cannot be properly resolved, it will create a big rift with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although Duke Yang has the status of Duke in the court, he does not have much real power, so it is impossible for him to offend Prime Minister Li.
If Yang Manman could be married to Li Zhen, it would be a good way to turn hostility into friendship.
only……
"I'm afraid Yang Manman won't agree."
After all, when Li Zheng was safe and sound and his leg was not injured, although Yang Manman was a little reluctant about Li Zheng, she might not be willing to marry him, let alone now.
Chu Jingyue and Jiang Suining had the same idea, "Although there is no news yet on whether Yang Manman is willing or not, I guess she is definitely not happy about it. I'm afraid she doesn't know how to make trouble at home now."
The facts were indeed as the two had expected. At this time in the Duke's Mansion, Yang Manman didn't even care about her injuries and was making a big fuss, smashing all the porcelain in the room to pieces.
"There is absolutely no way I will marry Li Zheng!" Yang Manman yelled at Duke Yang and Wang.
"How dare you! Your father has already made the decision on this matter. As long as the Prime Minister's Mansion is willing, you must marry him." Duke Yang's face was ashen, and his tone was full of unquestionable attitude.
"Don't even think about it. There's no way I'll marry a cripple!" Yang Manman clenched her teeth, her face full of anger.
Now Li Zheng's right leg is disabled and he can only use crutches in the future. If I marry him, I don't know how many people will laugh at me.
"Shut up!" Duke Yang slapped Yang Manman hard on the face. "Don't say that again, especially in front of the Li family. If we offend the Prime Minister's Mansion, we will suffer the consequences!"
"Master, if you have anything to say, please talk nicely." Wang hurriedly stepped forward and supported Yang Manman.
Manman is her daughter after all, and she doesn't want her daughter to marry a cripple, but...
"Manman, I know you're unwilling to accept this, but the matter has come to this, you should listen to your father. No matter what, Li Zheng's leg injury is indeed related to you..."
"I told you a long time ago that I don't like Li Zheng. It was you who insisted that I go to the lantern festival with him. Now that he is injured, he blames everything on me. Even if there is someone to blame, it should be you!" Yang Manman interrupted Wang in a harsh voice, her eyes almost spitting fire.
Wang was stunned by the accusations, and her eyes became more complicated when she looked at Yang Manman.
She and the master let Manman get in touch with Li Zheng. That was also for Manman's own good. After all, she was not a child anymore and she liked to wear men's clothes and run around. Her reputation was really not good. At least Li Zheng was sincere to her.
They really didn't expect that something like this would happen.
Although she felt extremely helpless, Wang still patiently continued to persuade.
"Manman, calm down. Your father and I will never harm you. Although Li Zheng's leg is injured, he was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, and..."
"The Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, all you talk about is the Prime Minister's Mansion. I am just the Prime Minister's Mansion's son. What's so great about me? If you hadn't caused me trouble, I could have been the prince's consort based on my popularity in the imperial city!"
Previously, at the Third Prince's mansion-opening banquet, she had clearly already made a name for herself and attracted a lot of attention and praise. Even if she had slightly offended the Third Prince because of this, if her parents had not made a fuss about it and confined her to her home, she would have definitely been able to continue to work hard and make a name for herself.
After all, it is their short-sightedness that affects their own future!
Yang Manman's resentful look was evident, which made Duke Yang angry and disappointed. He couldn't help but question himself in his heart why he gave birth to such a stupid person.
After taking a deep breath, he didn't even want to waste any more words with Yang Manman, so he gritted his teeth and spoke firmly.
"Anyway, this matter has been decided, and it is not up to you. Now we are just waiting for news from the Prime Minister's Mansion. As long as Prime Minister Li is willing, we will find a chance to arrange your engagement and marriage!"
"No! I won't agree, I absolutely won't agree!" Yang Manman screamed hysterically.
However, soon after, news came that made her even more devastated. Someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion delivered a message saying that the marriage had been accepted.
However, Duke Yang must take Yang Manman to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see that Yang Manman is truly willing. The messenger also said that this was the intention of their second young master.
Duke Yang heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at Yang Manman coldly.
"You are still somewhat useful. At least Li Zheng didn't completely hate you because of this incident and is still willing to marry you."
Yang Manman gritted her teeth, "You're dreaming. I will never do this willingly. If you dare to take me to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will do it in front of them..."
Before he could finish his words, Duke Yang slapped him on the face again.
"Someone, bring the family law over!"
