As for Ming Zhiyan, if he was unwilling, then so be it. Although he would be a little sad, it was not like he could not live without a man.

The next morning, Jian Dalang got up and went to look for Ming Zhiyan. At this time, there was faint sunlight. There was no one on the road except for the officials who were going to the court.

Jian Dalang blocked Ming Zhiyan at the entrance and looked at him unhappily.

Ming Yan was about to go to court when he saw Jian. He was surprised and asked, “Uncle, why are you here? Is there something wrong?”

“I have something to say to you,” Jian Dalang said with a long face.

Ming Zhiyan had a faint premonition that his and Qing Qing’s matter had been found out, so he calmly nodded and said, “Please wait for me.”

As he spoke, he instructed the servant to help him apply for leave.

After the servant boy left, he pushed open the door and made a ‘please’ gesture. “Uncle, please come in first.”

He took Jian Dalang to the front hall, poured a cup of tea, and ordered someone to make some breakfast. Then he said, “Uncle, did you come because of me and Qingqing?”

Jian stared at him angrily, “You know it too! Why didn’t you tell us when you kidnapped our Big Sister?”

Ming Zhiyan obediently apologized. “I’m sorry, Uncle. I didn’t think this through. I didn’t tell you earlier.”

Although it was Jian Qingqing who did not allow this, he could not push the responsibility onto her.

Jian Dalang’s expression eased a little and he asked, “What do you think about this? It’s impossible for our Big Sister to follow you without any status.”

“If Uncle is willing, I’ll immediately go to the Emperor and ask for an Imperial edict. We’ll be engaged immediately,” Ming Zhiyan immediately said.

When he found out that Qingqing’s family knew about it, he was happy because they could be together openly, and no one else would covet Qingqing.

Jian Dalang snorted coldly. “We’re not willing to be engaged even if you want to! Our precious and precious daughter was so easily taken away by you?”

Ming Zhiyan panicked and asked bitterly, “Uncle, I’m begging you. I really like

Qingqing. What do I need to do for you to let me stay by her side?”

“Do you know what we were thinking?” Jian Dalang asked with a blank expression. “Big Sister is smart and powerful. She has earned so much credit for herself, but we were unable to help her. Instead, she brought our family out of the farmer’s life. Our hearts ache for her and we only wish for her to live the rest of her life smoothly.”

“Originally, we wanted to find her an obedient husband after she reached marriageable age so that she wouldn’t have to suffer the anger of her in-laws. Even if she couldn’t find a rich husband, she must find a husband with a harmonious family relationship. We will love her like how we love our Big Sister, so that she won’t have to suffer so much.”

“And you, it’s not that I don’t know that your mother is not easy to deal with. If Big Sister marries you, who knows how much suffering she will have to suffer in the future? That’s why we have never considered you. You are old, and by the time Big Sister reaches marriageable age, you will be over 20 years old. At that time, you may have a few concubines at home. Don’t think that I don’t know, you officials are all like this.”

After hearing this, Ming Zhiyan said without hesitation, “Uncle, I can also come to your door and marry into your family. After that, everything that happens to me will have nothing to do with Princess Yanhe. I swear that I will only have Qingqing alone in the future.. I will never take any concubines!”
