Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211: I Choose No One
"Please... Madam, come with me to see the two family elders." The woman turned her head, inviting politely.
My mom cautiously asked, "Is there something the two elders would like to discuss?"
"Mainly it’s about... ahem~ Miss Wan’s marriage." The woman glanced at me.
My mom looked shocked, "Wanwan’s marriage?"
"Since it concerns me, I should be present." I got interested, wanting to see what the Zhang Family’s Elders were planning.
The woman’s eyes hesitated for a moment, "If Miss Wan wants to come, you’re welcome to join."
Thus, my mom and I followed the woman to meet the Zhang Family’s Elders.
On the way, my mom seemed a bit nervous and kept murmuring to me.
Was the Zhang Family dissatisfied that the future family head’s husband was the Snake Lord from the Snake Tribe?
If the Zhang Family wanted to break us apart as a couple, what should we do?
"If it weren’t for my master forcing me to come, I wouldn’t be here." I whispered to my mom, "Between the Zhang Family and Yu Longting, I would definitely choose Yu Longting."
"You... such a child," my mom scolded me jokingly, "If your master hears that, he’d be heartbroken."
We arrived at Elder Sheng and Elder Jia’s place, but they were nowhere to be found.
Instead, it was a vast, empty pavilion, with people occasionally bringing tea and snacks.
After a long while, no one came in.
I felt quite bored, and suggested to my mom that we play Gomoku.
My mom found it amusing, saying that people from such families usually play Go.
But she had only played it as a child, and I only knew how to play Gomoku.
So we busied ourselves with the game to pass the time.
I said, "With this much time, I’d rather go to the prison and see Zhang Shuying."
I had no idea how Yu Longting was managing his eye change; for three days, he wouldn’t be able to see anything. ƒrēewebnovel.com
If I messaged him, he couldn’t read the content.
Calling him would disturb him, so we just had to endure this period.
"According to what Uncle Che said, he would find a chance to explain the reason to the old ancestor, and by then Shuying should be released." My mom was absent-minded and lost two games in a row to me.
Suddenly, a scent of sandalwood mixed with pear aroma wafted into the room.
I couldn’t help but think that the two old men were quite particular, making themselves fragrant like top beauties.
A large group of young boys entered the room, all dressed in plain white Taoist robes.
Their faces bore simple makeup, and they held various musical instruments and floral vessels.
"Hello, Miss Wan, I’m Zhang Chuan."
"I’m Zhang Pan, Miss Wan."
...
Suddenly, they took turns introducing themselves and greeting me.
I finally understood, "Mom, are they... here for a match-making event?"
"Seems like it, but this is too absurd, having so many people come at once." Even though the match wasn’t for my mom, she felt embarrassed for me.
Zhang Sheng and Zhang Jia, the two old men, then walked in, laughing and chatting, each bringing forward two young boys.
Zhang Sheng said, "Miss Wan, this is my grandson and this is my nephew. Are you satisfied?"
Zhang Jia said, "These two grandsons of mine are good looking and gentle by nature. If you like, both can accompany you."
"Elders, perhaps there’s a misunderstanding. Wanwan is a girl; how can a girl marry two husbands?" My mom hurriedly stood up, rejecting the marriage proposal on my behalf.
Zhang Jia, still not fully recovered, coughed twice, "It’s not Miss Wan marrying, it’s my two grandsons marrying her."
"Miss Wan hasn’t agreed yet, but you’re talking like it’s settled. Who knows, maybe Miss Wan prefers mine," Zhang Sheng retorted back at Zhang Jia with a puffed beard and glaring eyes.
"Elders, please stop arguing. I’m choosing none of them." I felt slightly frustrated, wondering what they thought of me to be pushing men onto me like this.
