Chapter 434 Doctor Qian: "I entrust the young mistress to you."

“Yingqing left in a hurry and didn’t even have breakfast.” Chu Yueshu said with some concern.

"Don't worry, they'll eat out," Chu Ruohan comforted her. "What you need to do now is take good care of your pregnancy and don't worry about anything else."

Chu Yueshu nodded and forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls of porridge: "I know, elder sister."

The two had just finished their breakfast when Doctor Qian arrived.

Doctor Qian bowed to the two women and said, "Madam, Second Miss, I have come today to ask you for a favor."

Seeing that he looked somewhat embarrassed, Chu Ruohan gestured for Yuling and the other maids to leave.

"Please speak, Dr. Qian. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best."

Doctor Qian took a deep breath, a blush rising to his face: "To be honest, I want to propose marriage to Miss Song."

Chu Ruohan and Chu Yueshu exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

"This is a good thing," Chu Ruohan said with a smile. "Song Ruyan is straightforward and has excellent medical skills. She and Dr. Qian are a perfect match."

Doctor Qian rubbed his hands, his expression becoming increasingly embarrassed: "However, there is no one left in my family, and no elders to make decisions. I really don't know what to do about this marriage proposal."

He raised his head, his eyes full of earnestness: "I wonder if Madam could do me this favor and arrange this marriage?"

Chu Ruohan nodded and said, "What's so difficult about that? Doctor Qian has saved many people in my family. I'm happy to help with this little thing."

Dr. Qian's face lit up with joy, and he thanked him repeatedly.

"Where is Song Ruyan now?" Chu Ruohan asked.

"She's practicing martial arts in her own courtyard," Doctor Qian replied.

Chu Ruohan pondered for a moment: "How about this, I'll go talk to Song Ruyan first and find out what she's thinking. Although she expressed her feelings last time, we still need to be cautious about formally proposing marriage."

Doctor Qian nodded and took out a bundle from his bosom: "This is my savings over the years. When my whole family was wiped out, I was only concerned with escaping and didn't bring any belongings. I also didn't know what kind of engagement gift to give."

Chu Ruohan quickly waved her hand: "Dr. Qian, there's no rush. Let me talk to Song Ruyan first, and we can discuss other matters later."

"Yes, Madam is right." Doctor Qian put the bundle back into his arms and asked somewhat nervously, "Then, Madam, do you think I have any hope?"

Chu Yueshu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Dr. Qian, don't you know Song Ruyan? She said last time that she wanted to marry you, what are you still worried about?"

Dr. Qian's face turned red: "What the second young lady says is true, but I dare not be negligent in the slightest when it comes to such a life-long event."

Chu Ruohan stood up and said, "Don't worry, Dr. Qian, I will definitely take care of this for you."

"Thank you, Madam." Doctor Qian bowed deeply.

After seeing Dr. Qian off, Chu Yueshu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't expect Dr. Qian to be so timid. Even though Song Ruyan has already expressed her opinion, he is still so uneasy."

Chu Ruohan smiled and said, "Dr. Qian values ​​Song Ruyan very much. It's not easy to meet such a good person."

Chu Yueshu looked at her sister meaningfully, "Dr. Qian is indeed a good man, but as for this Song Ruyan, just make sure she doesn't bully her."

Chu Ruohan gently patted her: "Naughty."

"Sister, how do you plan to help Doctor Qian?" Chu Yueshu asked curiously.

Chu Ruohan pondered for a moment: "Song Ruyan has no parents, so in principle, her elders should make the decision. But I heard that her master has already gone on a journey and cannot be contacted."

"How about we let my brother-in-law make the decision?" Chu Yueshu suggested. "Dr. Qian is practically my brother-in-law's protégé."

Chu Ruohan nodded: "That is a solution. However, your brother-in-law is currently busy with court affairs and probably won't have the time or energy to spare for it."

“Then let me make the decision,” Chu Yueshu said. “Song Ruyan and I get along quite well, so it’s most appropriate for you to make the arrangements.”

Chu Ruohan nodded slightly and called Yuling over: "Go and invite Ruyan over."

Yu Ling responded and left, returning shortly afterward with Song Ruyan.

Song Ruyan strode in and asked, "What does Madam want with me? Do you want to fight?"

Chu Ruohan rolled her eyes at her, "Dr. Qian intends to propose marriage to you, and specifically came to ask for my opinion."

Song Ruyan's eyes lit up, but she quickly regained her composure: "Propose marriage? I already told him a few days ago that we can just get married directly. We'll have a child next year, why bother with all this trouble?"

Chu Ruohan shook her head helplessly: "Ruyan, marriage is a major life event, and it should naturally be done according to the rules. Doctor Qian has no relatives left, and he wants to ask me to help arrange this marriage."

"Then please help me out," Song Ruyan said readily. "Whatever you say, I'll do it. I'll listen to whatever you say."

"Do you really want to marry Dr. Qian?" Chu Ruohan asked seriously. "Marriage is not a game; it's a lifelong commitment."

Song Ruyan nodded without hesitation: "Of course. He's a good person, a good doctor, and treats me well. Why wouldn't I marry him?"

Chu Yueshu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ruyan, you really are direct."

Song Ruyan glanced at her: "Beating around the bush is a waste of time. I like him, and he likes me, so let's just get married."

Chu Ruohan chuckled inwardly. Song Ruyan's personality was a stark contrast to Doctor Qian's cautious and polite demeanor.

“Alright, since you’re willing, I’ll arrange this marriage for you,” Chu Ruohan said. “Since you have no parents or elders here, it should be up to Junze and me to make the decision. Do you have any objections?”

"No, it's entirely up to you, Madam," Song Ruyan said decisively, then added, "However, I'd rather avoid all those formalities; I just want to get married as soon as possible."

Chu Ruohan smiled and said, "You're not reserved at all. You must show some respect for yourself and for Doctor Qian."

Song Ruyan pursed her lips, but still nodded: "Okay, don't drag it out too long."

"Don't worry, it won't happen," Chu Ruohan replied. "We'll choose an auspicious day before the new year to arrange this marriage for you."

"Then thank you in advance, Madam." Song Ruyan stood up, bowed, and then asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back to practice my skills now. The weather is getting cold, and Lan-jie and Lü-ge haven't been coming these past few days. They're not working hard at all... much lazier than when I was learning martial arts."

Chu Ruohan said, "The weather is cold, and the children will inevitably suffer."

Song Ruyan turned and left briskly, her steps light and quick, clearly in a good mood.

"Sister, Song Ruyan is such an interesting person," Chu Yueshu said with a smile. "She's so direct in both her words and actions."

Chu Ruohan laughed too: "Yes, but that kind of personality is good, it's straightforward and honest, without so many twists and turns. Dr. Qian is introverted, so it complements him perfectly."

"What are your plans for their wedding, Sister?" Chu Yueshu asked curiously.

Chu Ruohan pondered for a moment: "Dr. Qian is a respectable person. Although his family has fallen on hard times, he cannot be lacking in manners. Although Song Ruyan is straightforward, she is still a young lady, and we cannot make her feel wronged."

"I'm thinking that Junze should first formally propose to Song Ruyan, then choose a date for the betrothal, and finally select an auspicious day for the wedding. There are still a few empty courtyards in the mansion, which can be cleaned up and used as their bridal chambers."

She looked out the window, a slight smile playing on her lips.

In these turbulent times, it's nice to have some good news...
