The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 107 The Han Family Takes the Initiative to Propose Marriage

"Father, you can explain to Lord Gongsun that it was just an accident." Han Nian'an sneered in his heart.

What she wants is to marry into the Marquis's Mansion. As for what happens to the Han family, it has nothing to do with her!

"What an explanation!" Han Mingzhang was furious. "I refused to meet the Gongsun family because I said you were sick. Now you are full of energy and you are going boating with other men. Do you think Lord Gongsun is so stupid?"

Although he lied to Lord Gongsun and claimed that he knew nothing about it, and pushed everything onto Han Nian'an, saying that he had failed to teach his daughter well, looking at the look on Lord Gongsun's face when he left, it was obvious that he did not believe it. Now he could be said to have completely offended Lord Gongsun.

"Father, now that things have come to this, why bother you with the Gongsun family? It would be better to take advantage of the rumors in the imperial city and hurry up to marry your daughter to the Marquis' Mansion. As long as the marriage is done, why bother about Lord Gongsun?" Han Nian'an said.

Han Mingzhang frowned. "There is no news from the Marquis' Mansion yet, and no one has been sent to come to our house. This matter..."

"Father, if the Marquis' Mansion doesn't send anyone to come to our house, then you should go there yourself. Anyway, my daughter and Prince Zhou have had physical contact, and so many people have seen it, it's hard for the Marquis' Mansion to deny it."

She has already made up her mind to this extent, so why should she care who comes to propose marriage first?

Han Mingzhang thought for a moment and looked at Han Nian'an suspiciously.

"Nian'an, let me ask you one last time, was this an accident or did you do it on purpose?"

"Father, why are you still entangled in such an insignificant issue? You just said that the Gongsun family is already angry with you. If you can't let the Marquis's daughter marry, the Gongsun family will have no scruples and will try to trip you up in any way."

Han Nian'an's words made Han Mingzhang's face change. That's right, he couldn't care less about so many things now. The most urgent thing was to marry Han Nian'an to the Marquis' Mansion.

Soon, Han Mingzhang left the Han family and went to the Changning Marquis Mansion.

After the announcement, when Qin was invited in, she was sitting in the lobby drinking tea.

"Greetings, Madam Changning Marquis." Han Mingzhang bowed.

Qin just raised her eyelids slightly and said, "Master Han, you are too polite. Please sit down."

This lukewarm tone made Han Mingzhang's heart skip a beat.

Sitting down on a chair nearby, he glanced at Qin twice before speaking cautiously, "I am sorry to bother you by coming here today. I wonder if you have heard the rumors in the imperial city."

Qin slowly skimmed the foam in the cup, "What's the rumor?"

Han Mingzhang was unhappy. People outside were already talking about this. He didn't believe that the person in front of him didn't know about it. It was obvious that he was pretending to be ignorant.

But thinking that there was no way out now, Han Mingzhang had to suppress his displeasure and continued speaking.

"It's about the time when Prince Zhou and my daughter were boating on the lake. My daughter fell into the water and was fortunately saved by Prince Zhou. However..."

"So that's what happened." Qin interrupted Han Mingzhang with a smile, "Master Han, you don't have to be polite. My son has a kind heart. No matter who falls into the water, he will naturally go to rescue them."

Han Mingzhang choked. The point was not about rescuing each other, it was clearly physical intimacy!

He gritted his teeth secretly. Logically, Wang should have come today. As a man, it would be inconvenient for him to talk to Qin about these things. But if he really handed it over to Wang...

Han Mingzhang felt uneasy again, and since the person had already arrived, he had no choice but to continue talking.

"I'm ashamed. There are some things that I, as a father, shouldn't say. But your son and daughter fell into the water together and had physical contact, and many people saw it. Now the imperial city is buzzing with discussions about this matter. If I can't give an explanation, I'm afraid it will be bad for the reputation of both families."

Qin sneered in her heart. There are some things that a father shouldn't say? But he still ran to her and said it.

"Lord Han, although you are only a sixth-rank official, you are still an official of the imperial court. My son's rescue is a righteous act. Do you want to use this rumor to force our mansion to marry your daughter?"

She had already asked someone to find out clearly that Han Mingzhang, a mere sixth-rank official, had no chance of being worthy of the Marquisate.

Moreover, although he had never met Han Nian'an, as a girl, she took the initiative to ask Yihong out for a lake cruise. And judging from what the servant said, she was probably teasing him on purpose. He knew what kind of person she was without even meeting her.

Such a person must never be married into the house.

"What you said is a bit inappropriate. How can we use rumors to coerce? This incident was just an accident after all. If the two families can get along well, the joke will become a good story, which will benefit both families. Otherwise, the reputation of Zhou Shizi, who tarnished the innocence of others, will probably be..."

"How dare you!" Qin slapped the table next to her. "My son was kind enough to save someone, how can you slander him? Although the Marquis has passed away, and we are the only orphans and widows left in the Changning Marquisate, we cannot tolerate such bullying and slander. Lord Han, do you think there is no one in my Zhou family?"

Qin had a cold face, and the aura around him was instantly revealed.

Han Mingzhang was successfully frightened by these words, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately stood up and spoke.

"Madam Qin, please don't misunderstand me. I have no such intention. I am a father after all. My daughter's innocence has been damaged. I am extremely anxious. I hope you can forgive me if my words are inappropriate."

Qin looked at Han Mingzhang coldly, and seeing that he was frightened so quickly, she smiled contemptuously in her heart.

"Forget it. Considering Lord Han's fatherly heart, we at Changning Marquis' Mansion can let it go this time. But if it happens again..."

Qin didn't finish her words, but the threat in her words was obvious.

Han Mingzhang frowned and wanted to say something else, but Qin had already ordered him to leave.

"see a visitor out."

Han Mingzhang came to discuss the marriage with gritted teeth, but hit a snag at the very beginning. He was very unhappy. After leaving the mansion, he immediately got into the carriage with a gloomy face and ordered the driver to return home as soon as possible.

In the lobby of the Marquis' Mansion, although Han Mingzhang left in disgrace, Qin knew in her heart that the matter would not end like this, so she asked someone to find Zhou Yihong.

"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Han Nian'an?" Qin frowned as she looked at her son standing in front of her.

"Mother, I've already said it. It doesn't matter." Zhou Yihong lowered his head.

"What a joke! If you really had no relationship, how could you two go boating together? You really are too arrogant to think you can fool me."

Qin was dissatisfied, so she picked up the teacup beside her and smashed it directly at Zhou Yihong's feet.

Porcelain pieces flew everywhere, and Qin spoke in a harsh voice.

"Do you know that the Han family has just come to your door based on rumors and asked you to marry Han Nian'an!"
