Huo Tian was so gentle and patient, completely different from him normally, but Jiang Nuan became more and more nervous and panicked.
"Well... let me ask you... you... you... do you pity me?" Jiang Nuan asked stumblingly.
This issue was discussed with Xu Chunjun and Cen Yunchu before.
"To a certain extent." Huo Tian said that he would never lie if he told the truth.
In his opinion, this is not the case between men and women. Love arises out of pity, and pity arises out of love. Pity and love have never been separated.
He couldn't bear Jiang Nuan's grievance. Isn't this pity?
But Jiang Nuan didn't think so. She quickly waved her hands and said, "You don't need to marry me because you pity me. I don't need anyone to pity me."
"It's not pity, it's...pity." Huo Tian's face turned slightly red. He had never said this to anyone.
"Then you...are you still grateful to me because of the thirty-odd taels of silver? So when you see me in trouble, you have to repay me.
In fact, it’s not necessary. It’s such a small amount of money. It doesn’t matter whether you pay it back or not. Who hasn’t been in trouble yet?
You helped us save Yun Chu, and this favor has already been repaid." If it were anyone else, he would have wished that Huo Tian would repay him for his kindness. But Jiang Nuan was unwilling to do this.
"Does Miss Jiang hate me very much?" Huo Tian took a step forward, frowning slightly, "Or do you think I'm not worthy of being entrusted to you for the rest of your life?"
"Ah...I...no," Jiang Nuan stuttered again, "I just...just don't want to force others into trouble. Or...or take advantage of others' danger..."
Huo Tian laughed again, this time he even laughed out loud: "Miss Jiang, do you think you have the ability to force others into trouble or take advantage of others' danger?"
This little idiot was almost bullied to death, but he still had the leisure to think about him.
Jiang Nuan was completely dumbfounded. Of course she didn't have the ability. He was the dignified Duke of Dingbei, a high-ranking official with a generous salary, and he was deeply favored by the saints.
Her face was red, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence after mumbling for a long time. She was twisting her clothes with both hands and lowering her head hard, as if she was trying to find a crack in the ground to get in.
The bright sunlight in the afternoon sifts the shadows of the trees and falls on the white marble bridge.
Mottled and stranded, like lingering emotions.
Huo Tian looked at the little person in front of him, and his heart became softer than the clouds in the sky.
"Miss Jiang, I have loved you for a long time. But when I meet you again in the capital, I am very busy with official duties and you are still young, so I want to wait a little longer.
Unexpectedly, after returning from Mobei, I heard that you had been promised to the Zong family. Although I felt regretful, I did not disturb you.
Because I think Zong Tianbao has a pure heart and his family treats you very well. If you are with him, you should be happier than with me, a lonely person.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the Zong family broke up and married Jiang Qing this time, my feelings would have been buried deep in my heart and would never be told to anyone.
Guhan
Can I get your peace of mind by saying this?" Huo Tian was naturally taciturn and had never spoken so many words in one breath in his life.
In fact, there were some things he didn't say. He had a few very important things to do after he returned to Beijing, and all of them had a narrow escape. He was afraid that he would not survive and come back alive, so he couldn't leave Jiang Nuan as a widow, right?
Jiang Nuan's face turned red and her ears were red, and she was at a loss. She was already confused.
"Ah, it turns out...it turns out to be like this. But...but you don't know me very well. I am straight-tempered and very stupid. With such a big family business like yours, I...I can't handle it. I can't manage it."
, will become a burden to you." Jiang Nuan felt that Huo Tian thought too well of himself, but in fact she may not be a good match for him.
"Tsk, Miss Jiang, you are really a headache." Huo Tian frowned slightly, "Thirty-five taels and six cents of silver, you bought a living person like me with a salary of two thousand dan, you are not at a loss, are you? I still want to pay for it.
Is there anything that makes you dissatisfied? You can tell me as much as you want, and I will change what I can change, and I will find a way to compensate you for what I can't."
"No, no, no need, no need." Jiang Nuan shook her head vigorously in fright, "I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong."
Seeing that she was about to cry, Huo Tian couldn't help but feel distressed: "Don't worry, I will never make things difficult for you. If you don't like to do anything, just don't do it. There are housekeepers and servants at home, so you don't have to worry about anything you don't like. You don't have to worry about it."
People always think more about others and less about themselves.”
"Then... let me go back and think about it." Jiang Nuan was still undecided at this time, and she had to let Xu Chunjun and Cen Yunchu help her check.
"I'm afraid I don't have time for you to think about it. I went to Jiang's house to propose marriage three times, but you refused to agree. I had no choice but to use force." Huo Tian looked at her like a hawk staring at a little white rabbit.
Jiang Nuan took a step back in fright, covering her heart and asked: "You...you...what are you going to do?!"
"Since you don't agree to my proposal of marriage, I have no choice but to ask the Holy One to grant the marriage." Jiang Nuan took a step back, and Huo Tian took a step forward, "The imperial decree granting the marriage will be handed down in less than two days. Do you dare to resist the decree?
Do you comply?"
"Ah?!" Jiang Nuan really didn't expect that Huo Tian would actually ask the emperor for marriage.
In fact, Huo Tian expressed his intention to the emperor as early as when he was granted the title. As a minister, he should do his best to be loyal and serve the emperor. But there was one thing that he could not force, and that was his marriage. The emperor also agreed to him at that time.
Jiang Nuan was like a shrunken turtle, reluctant to nod. Huo Tian had no choice but to invite the imperial edict out.
Jiang Nuan was really dumbfounded this time. She was not promising enough to dare to disobey orders.
"Don't worry, I will prepare everything, you don't have to worry about it." Huo Tian knew that since the emperor granted the marriage, these things would be prepared for him.
He didn't want Jiang Nuan to stay at Jiang's house any longer. She had already suffered enough grievances there.
Jiang Nuan just felt like she was in the clouds and mist, everything seemed so unreal.
But the sun was shining so brightly, and it hurt even when she pinched her palms.
"Do you have anything else to ask now?" Huo Tian couldn't help but laugh again when he saw her blank expression.
Jiang Nuan shook her head numbly. The conversation with Huo Tian shocked her so much that she needed a few days to calm down.
"Okay, now it's my turn to ask you." Seeing that Jiang Nuan no longer rejected him, Huo Tian felt even better, "What color do you like? What kind of jewelry do you like? Are there any taboos in your daily life? Yes.
Don’t you have a particular favorite flower or tree? Who do you want to be present when you get married?”
"You...why do you have so many questions?" Jiang Nuan's cheeks were burning. She felt that she had stood here for too long and it was time to go back. "Sister Xu and the others are still waiting for me. I...I want to
gone."
"Well, you go back first, and I'll ask your maid if you need anything." Huo Tian didn't force her to stay, since they have a long life ahead of them anyway!
