Chapter 418: Mother Jian Discovered It
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wu Zhenghui carried the bride out of the door under the jeers of the crowd. While no one was paying attention, he secretly squeezed Jian Qingqing’s hand.
Their hands were covered by the wide sleeves of their robes, and to outsiders, they were only a little closer to each other, so no one noticed them.
Except for Mother Jian.
Jian Qingqing pushed him and whispered, “They’re about to leave, you should quickly follow them.”
Ming Zhiyan squeezed it reluctantly and also said in a low voice, “Wait for me.” After the bride went out, the dowry and betrothal gifts were also carried to the husband’s house. It took more than an hour to carry the wedding makeup. Jian Qingqing finally saw what it meant to be covered in red makeup for ten miles.
After watching the show, she turned around and saw Mother Jian staring at her with a strange look. Jian Qingqing suddenly had a bad feeling and asked nervously, “Mother… What’s wrong?”
Mother Jian pulled her to a place with fewer people and asked seriously, “Big
Sister, tell me honestly, what’s going on between you and Sir Ming?”
Jian Qingqing did not expect that her parents would find out about her puppy love. She lowered her head guiltily, her eyes wandering, and whispered, “It’s nothing much…”
Mother Jian knew what was going on with one look. She poked her forehead helplessly, but she could not say what she wanted to say.
Jian Qingqing hugged her arm and said coyly, “Mother, I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry, I’ll protect myself.”
Mother Jian did not know what to say. Her daughter’s independence was too overwhelming, and she did not need to do anything as a mother. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢
She could only helplessly say, “It’s good that you have your own ideas. However, you are not engaged after all. If outsiders find out, it will be bad for your reputation. It is difficult for women in this world. If you are really sure, then quickly get engaged. Get married after you are of age.”
Jian Qingqing was a little conflicted. She understood her mother’s concerns, but she did not want to get engaged so early. There were still a few years before she reached marriageable age. Who knew what would happen in these few years?
What if the two of them were separated because of a personality conflict or some other reason?
In this era, there was no difference between an engagement and a marriage. The price of breaking up after an engagement was too high.
Seeing the unwillingness on her daughter’s face, Mother Jian said, “There’s no room for discussion. You must get engaged. I’ll tell your father and grandfather when I get back!”
Seeing that Mother Jian was about to get angry, Jian Qingqing could only say, “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
Forget it, so be it. We’ll talk about the future later.
After the meal, Jian Qingqing was pulled back home by Mother Jian. She called out Old Man Jian, Jian Dalang, Xiao Hu, and the others. She said sternly, “I have a very serious matter to say.”
Jian Dalang had almost never seen Mother Jian like this. He straightened his face and asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Hu and the others were also looking at her in confusion.
Jian Qingqing followed behind her and lowered her head in guilt.
Mother Jian looked at the crowd and announced a big piece of news, “Eldest sister is together with Sir Ming.”
“What!”
As soon as she said this, everyone could not believe it. They looked at her in shock, and then at Jian Qingqing, who had her head lowered.
Jian Dalang came back to his senses and said with an angry face, “Did that kid lie to you? Big Sister, tell me, so what if he’s a high official?! Father will definitely not spare him!”
Jian Qingqing felt more and more guilty. She quickly said, “Father, he didn’t! He didn’t lie to me. We are in love with each other.”
In fact, she was the one who had lied to him, but she could not say this in front of her family..
