In the quiet garden, Nanny Fang handed a cup of hot tea to Mrs. Su with a smile, "What are you talking about, old slave... The second wife just made a mistake for a moment, don't you see, everyone is happy now?"

"Well -" Old Mrs. Su took it disapprovingly and took a sip, "The second daughter-in-law is so obsessed with face, if she is really not asked to attend Brother Heng's wedding, she will be mad?!

You're just a tough-talking duck!" She said, glanced out the window, smiled and sighed, "But these two little enemies..."

Aunt Fang followed her gaze and said with a smile, "You can just wait and drink my granddaughter-in-law's tea."

…………………………………………

"Did mother tell you?"

In the yard, Su Heng lowered his head and asked the little man in front of him warmly.

"Well..." Song Yunpan lowered his eyes and nodded, his face flushed, "Second aunt said... she doesn't hate me, she also said..." But she suddenly stopped talking.

Su Heng smiled and asked, "What else did mother say? Why didn't you continue?"

Song Yunpan's face turned red even to the base of his ears. He raised his head and glared at him with a coquettish look, tightening his lower lip.

"How about I take a guess." Su Heng looked at her with a smile, "Did mother say that she likes you very much and is happy to have you as her daughter-in-law, and asked you not to reject me?"

Song Yunpan's eyes widened in astonishment, "How did you—"

"What about you?" Su Heng took a step forward, so close that she could even smell the faint fragrance of pine wood on his body, "Are you... willing to marry me now?"

Su Heng waited for a while before hearing her whisper, "I...I don't know."

Su Heng didn't rush to urge her, but just looked at her quietly.

Song Yunpan lowered his head and stared at his toes. After a while, he whispered, "Second cousin, actually... have you really thought about it?" She raised her head and said seriously, "If it works.

We got married... We will be the closest people from now on, and we can't change it for the rest of our lives - even if you regret it, or meet a better girl... you can't look back."

It was rare for Su Heng to hear her make a request to him, so he couldn't help but smile and nod, "Marriage is definitely not a child's play... Now that it's settled, it will be for life. I will not go back on my word, let alone make you regret it." He paused.

He paused and said with a smile, "As for the better girl - to me, you are the best. Otherwise, why don't I marry someone else and insist on pestering you for nothing, even if I am rejected so many times?

Is it as sweet as sugar?"

Song Yunpan's little face became even redder and redder, and she glared at him with her watery eyes, "Slick tongue!"

"That's the truth." Su Heng said seriously, "'Holding my hand, growing old with me'... Just like that night in the Yuan Dynasty, let's go on together for a lifetime... okay?"

The girl's clear eyes reflected his clear face... Song Yunpan pursed her lips, "Then... can you promise that no matter what happens in the future, you will believe in me and won't abandon me?"

Su Heng's chest felt an inexplicable pain... He said seriously, "I can swear-"

"I don't need you to swear." Song Yunpan interrupted immediately, "All you have to do is promise!" A slight smile finally appeared on her nervous little face, as if she was relieved, and she seemed to have made up a lot of determination.

He said, "Then... we've made a deal!"

The beautiful girl had a clear smile and a firm gaze, as if the sky that had been gloomy for many days suddenly cleared up and suddenly became brighter.

Su Heng was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what she was doing, she immediately grabbed Song Yunpan's hand with a look of joy on her face, "You... agreed?!"

Song Yunpan nodded shyly, then belatedly remembered, "You, please let me go!" Her face, which had finally returned to normal, suddenly turned as red as a cooked shrimp, and she said angrily, "Everyone, please let me go!"

Everyone is watching!”

Bai Tan and other girls were standing not far away. After hearing this, they quickly turned their eyes away, pretending to be admiring the scenery in the yard. However, everyone had a smile on their eyes and eyebrows, and everyone's face was beaming with joy.

"I'm so happy that I'm confused!" Su Heng quickly let go of her, feeling that the joy in his heart was about to overflow... He turned his head and shouted in the direction of the open window, "Grandma, I hope my cousin will agree to my grandson!

"

…………………………………………

With Mrs. Su's second wife's approval and Song Yunpan's consent, the marriage between Su Heng and Song Yunpan was quickly decided: firstly, Su Heng himself was eager to marry Song Yunpan as soon as possible, and secondly, it was not possible for him to marry Song Yunpan.

The time has come when something must be said—the gossip outside has not faded away as time goes by, but has intensified.

The only thing to blame is that Song Yunpan was born too well. For men, such a beautiful woman was originally the object of their sexual desire; for women, Song Yunpan's beauty was even more beautiful than any other.

They are all incomparable, which makes people inevitably feel resentful. What's more, the person who saved her at that time was the outstanding and elegant Su Erlang...

Whether it was out of admiration or jealousy, the story that Song Yunpan fell into the water and was rescued by Su Heng quickly spread among familiar families. Some people even said that Song Yunpan did it to marry Su Heng.

Falling into the water on purpose... Almost everyone widened their eyes and wanted to see if the Su family was willing to call their eldest son and grandson their legitimate wife and marry a cousin girl who had no family background, no talent, and even a deep scheming wife.

Now let these two people get engaged as quickly as possible, and set the wedding date in two months - this is the Su family's explanation to Song Yunpan and everyone.

..."Hairpin Banquet?" Song Yunpan looked at Mrs. Su blankly, "Isn't that all..."

Old Mrs. Su nodded with a smile, "When I was young, the annual hairpin banquet was prepared for girls who didn't tell anyone, but it's different now - many ladies will go over to help their daughters.

The young men and women who are engaged will also take this opportunity to meet there."

Song Yunpan said "Oh" obediently, feeling that this matter had little to do with him - because he was about to get married, his second cousin had stopped going to the academy recently and was studying in the study room in the outer courtyard. If the two wanted to meet,

You can meet at any time, there is no need to go to a "hairpin banquet"...

Thinking of these, Song Yunpan felt sweet in her heart... and she couldn't help but bring out a bit of the shyness of a little daughter on her face.

Seeing her expression, Old Mrs. Su knew that she was trying to make a mistake, so she couldn't help but said with a smile, "Of course I know that you and Brother Heng don't have to go there to meet, but your second and third sisters have all reached the age of choosing a husband...

Your aunt and sister-in-law have been very busy these days about your marriage to Brother Heng, and they can't get away from it at all. As the future second sister-in-law, shouldn't you go and keep an eye on the two sisters-in-law?"
