Chapter 547 Extra Thank You Banquet (4)
Thinking in such surprise, Jiang Wantang blankly let the man hold her hand and walk forward.
Sometimes a spring breeze blew by, and she could still clearly smell the crisp pine aroma coming from Xie Zhiyan, mixed with the aroma of medicine...
Zhao Hu, who was following behind the two men, watched helplessly as his usually cold master, now looked like a peacock spreading its feathers, his face beaming with joy...
His eyes were as big as copper bells, as if he had seen a ghost...
Scarier than seeing a ghost!
Who was it that was in the Dali Temple yesterday, with a cold face, ordering people to directly drive out those noble ladies who came to express their love and courtesy, and even said disdainfully: Love between young people is the most harmful thing!
Just one night passed, and...
Zhao Hu: Sir, you have changed so quickly, you make me feel so unfamiliar!!!
After passing through the corridor, Xie Zhiyan brought Jiang Wantang to the main courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion in a short while.
Before going in, Jiang Wantang thought of the whip marks on his back and suddenly remembered that wealthy families attached the most importance to rules.
So, she asked him, "Your Xie family has a lot of rules. Are they very strict?"
Xie Zhiyan nodded slightly and answered truthfully: "Yes, a lot, very strict."
Seeing the little fox frown, he smiled and said, "But don't worry, the Xie family's rules are mostly for the men in the clan."
"Even if Tangtang makes a big mistake in the future, I will bear the responsibility for you and will not let you suffer any harm."
Jiang Wantang was stunned for a moment, his lips slightly parted, but he couldn't utter a single word.
At that time, the main hall was filled with the scent of agarwood...
The elders from dozens of branches of the Xie family had heard about the arranged marriage and rushed over together, which shows how much importance they attached to it.
The hall was full of people. Old Madam Xie and Xie Chong, the head of the Xie family, sat in the main seats, drinking tea and chatting with everyone, with unconcealable joy on their faces.
The whole room was filled with laughter and joy. Of course, some people had different expressions and were talking in low voices. They might not have paid much attention to the Jiang family's eldest daughter before, but after this incident, they only needed to inquire a little and they would know.
In Beijing, Jiang Wanfu was deliberately spread and slandered, so everyone believed that Jiang Wantang, the second daughter of the Jiang family who had just been adopted, was a country girl who was not worthy of being in public and was extremely vulgar.
However, Xie Zhiyan is the only legitimate son of the Yong'an Marquisate, the future ruler of the Xie family, a favored child of heaven, and of noble status.
How could an ordinary noble lady be able to associate with such a noble and distinguished person?
What's more, she's just a country girl with a bad reputation, even a notorious one? !
They indicated that they really couldn't understand what the head of this family and the people in the Marquis' Mansion were thinking?
No matter how anxious you are, you can't be so desperate and eat anything, right?!
But seeing that both Madam Xie and the head of the family were very happy, even if they had any opinions, they did not dare to say anything in public today.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of rings and pendants from the corridor...
A steward from the palace hurried in to announce, "The Crown Prince has arrived with... with the future Crown Prince's wife!"
The whole room was filled with laughter and suddenly fell silent...
Everyone held their breath and looked towards the gate at the same time.
Xie Zhiyan, dressed in a blue brocade robe, carefully led a woman in a light blue dress over the vermilion threshold and into the courtyard.
Xie Zhiyan wore a rare gentle smile. When everyone saw the woman's face, their pupils shuddered, their eyes widened, and they were filled with astonishment...
However, when Jiang Wantang saw the elders gathered in the room, her eyes widened in surprise. She subconsciously withdrew her hand from Xie Zhiyan's and immediately became well-behaved and reserved.
Although she had never seen such a scene, she had heard that elders generally liked well-behaved and sensible younger generations.
However, what she didn't know at the moment was that among all the Xie elders in the hall, the one from the Yong'an Marquisate was the highest in terms of seniority and status. When she married into their family in the future, they would have to bow their heads and salute her whenever they saw her.
Xie Zhiyan lowered his eyes to look at his empty palms, then looked at Jiang Wantang who suddenly became as well-behaved as a little white rabbit, and burst out laughing.
He found it funny, yet he also loved her appearance, as she was clearly a black-hearted little fox, but she had to tuck her tail between her legs and pretend to be a well-behaved and innocent little white rabbit.
So, Xie Zhiyan pretended to know nothing and quietly cooperated with her.
He turned sideways, tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, three parts doting and seven parts indulgence: "Don't be afraid, just follow me..."
Jiang Wantang nodded timidly.
However, the interaction between the two fell into Mrs. Xie's bright eyes. The fine lines at the corners of the old lady's eyes stretched slightly, and a gleam of light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Especially when she saw her usually cold and aloof grandson's face facing the other girl, and then a rare gentle smile appeared on his face, Mrs. Xie immediately smiled meaningfully...
She watched her grandson grow up, so how could she not understand his thoughts?
This is obviously not just liking...
It seems that their Marquis' Mansion will soon have a new member!
Mrs. Xie was extremely happy when she thought that she would be able to see her grandson get married and have children, and maybe even watch her great-grandson grow up in her lifetime.
However, Xie Chong's eyes immediately noticed the new clothes they were wearing...
What is going on?
How come after going back, both of them changed their clothes?
Could it be that this bastard really did...a beast?!
How long has it been?!
According to the top bloodline inheritance of their Xie family, it shouldn’t take this...this amount of time? ! ! !
No, what is he thinking?!
This is impossible!
Xie Chong shook his head in panic and slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table, making a crisp "ding" sound.
Everyone present came to their senses, stood up, and bowed to Xie Zhiyan who walked in: "Greetings, Prince!"
Xie Zhiyan nodded slightly in return.
Jiang Wantang stood beside him, looking at the crowd of people bowing before him, somewhat shocked by the scene.
Didn’t you say you were meeting the elders?
Why are they all bowing to them?
Just as Xie Zhiyan was about to bow to his grandmother, Old Madam Xie couldn't wait to stand up and walked towards Jiang Wantang.
She took Jiang Wantang's hand affectionately, her face full of an unstoppable loving smile: "Is this the girl from the Jiang family?!"
"The little girl is so pretty!"
"No wonder Yan'er likes it. Even an old woman like me is happy to see it..."
Jiang Wantang froze in shock, her long eyelashes casting a shadow of panic under her eyes. She subconsciously bowed and said, "Greetings, Master..."
As soon as he said this, before he could completely bend down, Mr. Xie firmly held his arm and helped him up.
The old lady's kind face was full of smiles: "Good boy, come... get up quickly..."
"In your own house, you don't need to care about these empty formalities."
Her words were packed with information, and her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly.
Xie Zhiyan likes it?!
The old lady likes it?!
In your own house? !
......
Each one was enough to shock everyone present.
