Chapter 1437: I’ll Marry You

Madam Wei said, “Because of this, he was taught a lesson by his biological father and even tied him up to my house to apologize.”

Jiang Guanchao asked strangely, “Your house?”

Madam Wei smiled. “My cousin came to my house as a guest and proposed to me. My mother hoped that I could marry my cousin, and my father wanted me to marry Wei Xu.”

Jiang Guanchao asked suspiciously, “Your father didn’t mean it, right?”

Madam Wei was secretly surprised. She did not expect Jiang Guanchao to be so sharp.

In order to avenge her brother, her father, Mo Guiyuan, deliberately befriended the Wei father and son and even broke off her engagement with her cousin and married her into the Wei family.

She used to think that her father respected her choice.

Later on, she realized that he had other ambitions.

Madam Wei did not say the details and only praised sincerely, “I can’t hide anything from Alliance Master Jiang.”

Jiang Guanchao thought for a moment and said honestly, “There must be something wrong with this abnormality. Your father must have other motives for taking a fancy to Wei Xu!”

Madam Wei was speechless.

Fortunately, Wei Xu had often belittled Jiang Guanchao in front of Madam Wei. Madam Wei was used to their “love and hate”. She smiled and said,

“What I want to say is that if Alliance Master Jiang is interested in Palace Lord Yun, you have to tell her openly. If you don’t say it, she might never be able to confirm your feelings.”

Jiang Guanchao picked up his teacup and brought it to his lips. “I’m not.”

Wei Xiaobao was super fierce. “Wuwa!”

Jiang Guanchao’s hand trembled, and the cold flower tea drenched Wei Xiaobao.

After Yun Shuang returned to the courtyard, she immediately washed up and changed out of her medicine-stained clothes.

She was about to rest when someone knocked on the door.

“I’m going to sleep.” Yun Shuang said.

“Mother, it’s me!”

It was Su Xiaoxiao’s voice.

Yun Shuang hurriedly said, “Come in.”

Su Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and walked to Yun Shuang with a bowl of lotus seed soup. “Mother, drink some lotus seed soup to relieve the heat.”

Yun Shuang nodded and brought the soup bowl over.

Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside her. “Mother, you look very tired. It must have been hard on you to kill the Japanese assassins, right?”

Yun Shuang cleared her throat. “Not really.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “The capital is hotter than Thousand Mountain Island. I’ll get Xing’er to send some ice over to Mother later.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s ice cubes were not stored in the cellar. Yun Shuang felt that they were rare and had to be used sparingly.

She didn’t know that Su Xiaoxiao took them from the pharmacy and had as much as she wanted.

She had the cold internal energy given to her by Jiang Guanchao, so it was actually not too hot.

However, she did not reject the child’s kind intentions.

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her fingers. “Mother, can I ask you a question?”

Yun Shuang’s heart skipped a beat.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “How did you get together with Hall Master Ji back then? There are so many young talents on the island. Why did you only accept his pursuit?”

Hearing that she was not asking her about last night and Jiang Guanchao, Yun Shuang heaved a sigh of relief.

If anyone else asked this question, she would not say it no matter what.

Even Su Xiaoxiao, whom she doted on, wouldn’t receive an answer if she didn’t ask at the critical moment when Yun Shuang was trying her best to avoid the topic from Jiang Guanchao.

It could only be said that the time, place, and with the right people.

Yun Shuang said, “The sects on the island have always interacted. I’ve known him since we were young, and we’re both the most talented among the younger generation. We often spar with each other.”

Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. “Ah, childhood sweethearts. That’s not right. Alliance Master Jiang’s talent is not bad either. Why didn’t you spar with Alliance Master Jiang?”

Yun Shuang said, “We sparred.”

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head. “Huh?”

Yun Shuang paused. “He only used one move before knocking me out.”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless!

Su Xiaoxiao could already imagine the scene—

“My name is Yun Shuang, and I’m from the Hundred Flowers Palace! I want you to use your full strength later. Don’t underestimate me just because I’m a woman!”

The obedient young man seriously drew his sword and slashed at the fair lady.

The girl was sent flying by the sword qi and immediately fell to the ground.

Su Xiaoxiao covered her eyes.

Uh… At a time like this, everyone knew to give in to the girl!!!

“What happened next?”

“What later? Oh, it was nothing after that. Ji Minglou fought with him.”

I’m not asking this… I’m asking if there’s any follow-up between you and Alliance Master Jiang…

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “It’s obvious that Hall Master Ji knows how to please women better than the disciples of the Assassin Alliance.”

Yun Shuang recalled, “He was indeed very good at making people happy, but I only agreed to his marriage proposal after an experience. I was young and insensible at that time, and I didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. I actually went to the Assassin Alliance’s abyss alone and almost died there. It was Ji Minglou who carried me out with half my life left. At that time, I felt that this was someone I could entrust my life to.”

Alliance Master Jiang, you have no chance.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did Mother regret breaking up with him?”

Yun Shuang shook her head. “Dad and Mom have always taught us to dare to love and hate. We have to be able to take and let it go. When we love someone, we can shatter into pieces for them. When we have to make a decision, we have to be invulnerable.”

Su Xiaoxiao secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Grandpa Yun, Grandma Yun, please accept my knees!

Su Xiaoxiao returned to the courtyard.

Wei Ting was writing a post for Wei Xiyue.

Seeing her bitter expression, he asked in amusement, “Did you gain anything? Not much?”

“Yeah.”

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and sat down beside him. “Mother must have something with Alliance Master Jiang! Mother has avoided Alliance Master Jiang a few times.”

Wei Ting raised his eyebrows. “Mother and Alliance Master Jiang are not bad.”

Su Xiaoxiao lay on the table and grabbed the teapot. “But Alliance Master Jiang has no chance!”

Wei Ting looked at her cute appearance and a trace of doting flashed across his eyes. “Why?”

Su Xiaoxiao told her about Ji Minglou and Yun Shuang breaking into the Assassin Alliance abyss. “They met at the most innocent and beautiful age, and their hearts were the softest. If the same thing happened now, Mother might not have any ripples in her heart.”

Therefore, even if her mother and Alliance Master Jiang had experienced life and death together, it was very difficult to soften her frozen heart.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “Sigh, children are so easy to coax!”

Wei Ting asked, “Was Mother talking about the abyss east of the Assassin Alliance?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I think so. Is there a second dangerous abyss?”

Wei Ting asked in confusion, “In terms of martial arts, she was comparable to Hall Master Ji back then. In terms of intelligence, she should be even better. She almost lost her life, so why can Ji Minglou come and go freely?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “He brought help?”

Wei Ting shook his head. “Unless Old Palace Lord Yun and Old Hall Master Ji personally took action in that extremely dangerous abyss, no help is useful.”

He had barged into the Assassin Alliance a few times and knew how dangerous the abyss was.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Perhaps it was luck. He was blessed by the heavens. According to you, only those big bosses can be safe. It can’t be that the Alliance Master of the Assassin Alliance secretly helped them.”

–

The night was as dark as ink.

Jiang Guanchao lay flat on the bed, looking at the endless darkness.

“Ji Minglou, is that you?”

“I can’t see. My eyes hurt!”

“Water… I want water…”

“Don’t go… I’m afraid alone…”

“Ji Minglou… If we can get out of here alive… I’ll marry you.”
