Chapter 246 Sir, Miss Jiang has fallen into a trap
Shen Yanxi's eyes and expression froze completely.
When he saw Jiang Suining just now, he guessed that the other party might be asking him for help.
He even had words of comfort in his mind, ready to tell her that even if Qin really went to find Concubine Shu, this matter could still be resolved.
However, he never expected that Jiang Suining would actually ask directly whether he was willing to get engaged to her.
It was so straightforward. Did I really hear it wrong?
Seeing the astonishment in Shen Yanxi's eyes, Jiang Suining felt embarrassed for a moment, but quickly suppressed it and continued speaking.
"I don't know if you've heard the rumors in Changning Marquis' Mansion. The Qin family wants to continue to promote the marriage between me and Zhou Yihong. Although it seems unlikely to succeed at the moment, I'm not sure I can ruin it. The simplest solution is... to hurry up and get engaged."
Qin has entered the palace today. If everything goes as she guessed, and if the Concubine Shu really agrees to help her, an imperial decree may come down soon.
Even though it is not as good as an imperial edict, it is still very easy for concubines in the harem to arrange a marriage.
If she were to live her life over again, she didn't want to marry into the Changning Marquis's Mansion again, so getting engaged as soon as possible was the easiest thing to do.
Shen Yanxi once told her that if she wanted to get married one day, she should consider him first.
but……
"I want to get engaged now, more to solve the problem of the Marquis' Mansion, but this will bring you trouble. If you don't..."
"I do." Shen Yanxi came back to his senses and spoke quickly, interrupting Jiang Suining's words.
The latter looked at him and said, "Sir Shen, you can think about it again. What if..."
"There's no such thing as a possibility. There's no need to think about it anymore. I'm willing to get engaged to you right away." Shen Yanxi smiled.
If the expression on his face still showed some restraint and subduedness, then at this moment his heart was filled with ecstasy.
"I will report to my parents today, and then go to your house to propose marriage. No, it will be tomorrow. I still have some things to prepare."
"No need to prepare anything, I..."
"No, you must prepare."
Shen Yanxi smiled with his teeth showing. The handsome and intelligent top scholar now looked completely devoid of his previous calmness and dignity. He looked at Jiang Suining with a smile in his eyes.
Jiang Suining felt as if his heart was suddenly burned by this gaze. It didn't hurt, but the remaining temperature in that place was obviously higher than other places.
Pursing his lips slightly, Jiang Suining said, "Shen Yanxi, don't you think I'm taking advantage of you?"
She had been struggling for a while before coming here today.
After all, proposing the hope of getting engaged to Shen Yanxi at this time really smacked of exploitation.
She had also thought about Shen Yanxi's reaction. Although she felt that he would most likely agree, she had never expected that he would smile so brightly and happily.
It was so bright that it even dazzled her.
Shen Yanxi stared at Jiang Suining intently, "Even if I am being used, I am happy with it."
"I……"
"As soon as you saw me just now, you told me everything, but I still feel very happy. No, I should say I am extremely happy, so you don't have to feel sorry. Even if I am being used, I am still happy."
Shen Yanxi's heart was beating fast. Just now, he gave up the idea of taking advantage of the other party because he was worried that the other party would be unhappy.
But unexpectedly, Sui Ning would take the initiative to bring up this matter to me at this moment.
The smile on Shen Yanxi's face widened again, and his whole body was filled with joy.
Jiang Suining originally had many words of apology to say, and he had even planned to give compensation and thanks to Shen Yanxi, but now facing Shen Yanxi's gaze, he couldn't say anything.
Of course, there seems to be no need to say it anymore.
I thought this matter might take a lot of time, but I didn't expect it to be so easily decided. Jiang Suining was silent for a while and said, "Then... I'll leave first?"
It seems there is nothing else that needs to be said.
"Tomorrow! I will go to propose marriage tomorrow." Shen Yanxi was worried that Jiang Suining would go back on his word, so he confirmed the time once again.
"Okay." Jiang Suining nodded.
Shen Yanxi watched Jiang Suining leave until the carriage went away. He still stood there with a bright smile on his face.
Yuan Liang, who had just pricked up his ears and tried his best to hear everything, walked to the side of his master and said, "Master, that's great. I didn't expect that you gave up the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, but Miss Jiang fell into the trap."
Shen Yanxi's smile stiffened. "Read more, don't use random words, and... don't mention things like taking advantage of others' misfortune, especially in front of Sui Ning."
He must maintain a good image in Suining's heart!
"Yes, I have remembered it."
Yuan Liang responded, and was happy for Shen Yanxi in his heart. No matter what, the young master had finally got what he wanted.
"Sir, since the carriage is no longer needed, I will hurry back to the mansion."
"Who said it's useless?"
"You are about to get engaged to Miss Jiang. Do you still want to go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion?"
Shen Yanxi raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "No, I want to enter the palace."
On the other side, the Jiang family.
Seeing Jiang Suining calmly say that Shen Yanxi would probably come to propose marriage tomorrow, Jiang Zhitong, Zheng and Jiang Mushi who had just returned home were all stunned.
The first one to react was Jiang Mushi. He said in shock: "Propose marriage? When was the decision made? How come I don't know!"
"Keep your voice down. You're giving me a headache." Zheng glared at her son, but her face was filled with surprise. "Sui Ning, what's going on? Why did you decide so suddenly?"
"Yes, Suining, although Lord Shen is indeed a rare young talent and your father is very satisfied with him, this is really too sudden." Jiang Zhitong couldn't help but speak.
Facing the three people's surprised expressions, Jiang Suining explained the whole story.
However, she only briefly mentioned the fact that Han Nian'an and Qin schemed against her and she had no choice but to accept Han Yueying in the end, and did not elaborate.
After hearing everything, the faces of the three men darkened.
"It's just wishful thinking! Even if it's the Marquis of Changning Mansion, so what? That Prince Zhou has a bad reputation. Even our academy has heard about those things. He still wants to marry my sister. Is he worthy?"
"Mu Shi is right. That Prince Zhou is really not a good match." Jiang Zhitong also spoke up.
Although Zheng agreed in her heart, she did not argue about this matter anymore. Instead, she hurriedly asked Jiang Suining, "So Suining, you want to get engaged to Lord Shen in order not to marry into the Marquis's Mansion?"
Jiang Suining nodded, "Yes, this seems to be the simplest and quickest solution at the moment."
It's not that she hadn't thought about making some careful plans to make Qin give up the idea, but she was afraid that there was not enough time.
Just as Qin mentioned when she left Ningxiu Pavilion, if the Concubine Shu granted the marriage, it would be difficult to resolve the situation with her and the Jiang family at the moment.
Even if Jingyue helped him find a solution, or even if the Prince Chu's Palace stepped in, there might not be any solution.
Seizing the opportunity to get engaged first is currently the most convenient and fastest way.
