Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 2: You are not allowed to leave Jindu
At this time in Qingrong Courtyard, Ye Hongwei and Chu Yanrong were talking enthusiastically:

"Chu Anlan from the Prince Dun's Mansion has never been good at writing, is weak and sickly, and has no merits at all. At most, he has an outstanding appearance. If he was not the son of Prince Dun, this Prince Consort would not even consider him."

"Prince Dun once helped my brother succeed to the throne and was trusted by my brother. However, Prince Dun did not ask for an imperial decree to marry his son. He just followed the procedures like everyone else, which was very rare. Although we don't like Chu Anlan, we don't have to refuse too badly and make Prince Dun lose face."

"Madam, what you said is very true. In my opinion, it is better to lie that our Wan Qing has already secretly married Prince Lu of Dingyuan Marquis and has an engagement. Then Prince Dun should not keep pestering us..."

Before he could finish his words, a clear female voice suddenly rang out: "My daughter will not marry Lu Jilian!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanrong and Ye Hongwei looked at Ye Wanqing, whose eyes were filled with tears.

Chu Yanrong came back to her senses and looked surprised: "Qing'er, why are you here?"

Ye Wanqing gazed at her parents whom she had not seen for a long time, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The age at which she passed away in her previous life was not much different from my mother's age now.

Unfortunately, from the time she fell ill until her death, she never saw her parents again.

Fortunately, God opened her eyes and allowed her to live again and return to her family.

Ye Wanqing sniffed, wiped away her tears, walked towards her parents step by step, and then knelt down: "Dad, Mom! I beg you to cancel the marriage with Marquis Dingyuan. The person I like is not Prince Lu."

Although his voice sounded choked, his tone was quite resolute.

Chu Yanrong and Ye Hongwei were stunned when they heard this.

Ye Hongwei frowned, and said with obvious displeasure: "You don't like Lu Jilian, a handsome man, could it be that you like Chu Anlan, the stupid prince of Prince Dun's mansion?"

"Dad guessed right!" Ye Wanqing raised his head and said without hesitation: "It is Chu Anlan."

"Nonsense!" Ye Hongwei was furious.

Chu Yanrong quickly pulled Ye Wanqing aside and said softly, "Qing'er, you know that Lu Shizi is a son of a general, both civil and military, and handsome, the best in the capital. On the other hand, Chu Anlan, although the son of a prince, has been lazy since he was a child, climbing trees to pick birds, diving to catch fish, and being idle and unruly. He can't be compared with Lu Jilian at all. Qing'er, don't choose the wrong husband!"

"Your mother is right!" Ye Hongwei was still angry and agreed: "I have never seen Chu Anlan in my eyes. He is far inferior to Master Lu. Qing'er has always been sensible, why can't you tell right from wrong?"

Can't tell right from wrong?

Indeed, everyone believes that if Lu Jilian is white jade, Chu Anlan is a piece of black charcoal.

Any fool knows how to choose.

However, white jade is cold, but black charcoal can be used for making fire!
Moreover, Ye Wanqing, who has the memories of her past life, also knows very well that Chu Anlan is definitely not a fool!

How can a golden fish stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon.

Ye Wanqing knelt on the ground and begged again, "No matter how perfect Lu Jilian is, I am not tempted at all. I beg father and mother to reject the Lu family's marriage proposal. If you don't agree, I, Ye Wanqing, will go on a hunger strike to show my determination."

After saying this, she spread her sleeves and bowed deeply again without saying a word.

Chu Yanrong sighed and said solemnly: "Qing'er, you really like Chu Anlan, this is not a joke?"

"Yes, mother!" Ye Wanqing answered seriously.

Chu Yanrong and Ye Hongwei looked at each other in silence for a while.

They couldn't understand why the once obedient girl suddenly became like this?

Ye Hongwei was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't do anything about her, so he ordered the housekeeper, "Take the young lady to Jinghong Garden and assign people to take turns to guard her. Without my order, the young lady is not allowed to leave even a step, and she is not allowed to reveal anything about what happened today!"

……

Jinghong Garden.

Ye Chenxi ran into Ye Wanqing's room happily, rubbed his hands expectantly, and said happily: "Sister, I heard that you plan to reject the marriage proposal from Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and insist on marrying An Lan?"

Ye Wanqing took a sip of almond tea slowly and said with a smile, "That's true."

Talking about Chu Anlan, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

In his previous life, Chu Anlan died accidentally, which was closely related to the Lu family.

So she felt extremely ashamed.

After being reborn, protecting him is the top priority.

The most important thing is that Ye Wanqing has admired Chu Anlan since she was a child.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chu Anlan is cynical, unlearned, and has brought disgrace to Prince Dun's Mansion.

But Ye Wanqing felt that Chu Anlan was generous, smart and free-spirited. He did whatever he wanted and never cared about the world's opinion.

If he was a canary trapped in a cage, then he was an eagle soaring in the sky, even his wings were so beautiful!
Unfortunately, she was just coming of age and was too ignorant to know how to pursue love.

She foolishly followed her parents' advice, cruelly abandoned Chu Anlan, and married Lu Jilian, whom she did not like, so that she was stuck in the quagmire in her previous life, unable to escape, and lived a miserable life. Now, God has given her a chance to change again, and she certainly cannot repeat the same mistake.

In everything, you must follow your own heart. Just like Chu Anlan, you don’t have to care about what others think.

Doing what you like and making yourself happy is the only mission!

"That's right!" After Ye Chenxi got a definite answer from Ye Wanqing, he cheered and jumped for joy: "After Brother Anlan marries me in the future, I will accompany you to the Prince's Mansion. In this way, I can see Anlan every day and escape the control of my family. It's so cool!"

Ye Wanqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and teased, "Brother likes Chu Anlan so much, why don't you marry him instead of your sister?"

Ye Chenxi scratched the back of his head and said seriously: "I am also a man, how can I marry another man? If I were a girl, I would be the first to marry a good man like An Lan, and no one is allowed to snatch him from me!"

Ye Wanqing covered her mouth and laughed.

Why didn’t I realize before that my elder brother is even more childish than me?

Counting the days, assuming that what happened in the previous life happens exactly again in this life, then in just over twenty days, Chu Anlan will die in a disaster.

Ever since Chu Anlan's death, Ye Chenxi felt that something was very strange. He lost his appetite and vowed to get to the bottom of the matter.

Ye Wanqing still has a deep impression of what Ye Chenxi said to her when he came to the Lu family: "An Lan has no family, and the court has not approved his burial in Zhaoling. In this life, An Lan especially loved drinking the green plum wine from Xiaoyue Mountain Villa in Lin'an, so Prince Dun plans to transport An Lan's coffin to Lin'an and bury it in the plum forest on the back mountain outside the villa. I will also go with him."

After a pause, he said with a sad face, "Sister, Lu Jilian is definitely not a good person, you must be careful. After An Lan is buried, my brother will leave home to join the army. I don't know when we will see each other again. In the future, if Lu Jilian targets Prince Dun's mansion, please intercede for them and give them some advice."

After saying these words, Ye Chenxi looked at Ye Wanqing with a serious and indifferent expression.

Ye Wanqing didn't seem to take his words to heart, and just kept talking about other things: "Brother, stay for dinner?"

She had already been married, and she shouldn't have pleaded for other men in front of her husband, even if that man was Chu Anlan.

Ye Chenxi shook his head, said nothing more, and walked away without looking back.

Ye Wanqing guessed that her brother should have investigated and found that Chu Anlan's accident was exactly what Lu Jilian planned.

Ye Chenxi was extremely disappointed and disgusted with Lu Jilian.

But there was no way, Lu Jilian was her husband and the biological father of her children.

……

Ye Wanqing exhaled a breath of turbid air, pulled himself out of the memory of his previous life, looked at the somewhat childish Ye Chenxi, and said: "There is a difficult task at the moment, I wonder if big brother is willing to do it?"

"What mission? Just tell me, sister. I'll take care of it!" Ye Chenxi agreed without even thinking.

Ye Wanqing stared at him and said seriously, "Big Brother and Chu Anlan have always been inseparable. Please make sure to keep him under close watch and don't let Chu Anlan leave Jindu."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxi chuckled and said, "Sister, you haven't even entered the Prince Dun's Mansion yet, why are you so impatient to restrict An Lan's actions?"

"No!" Ye Wanqing waved her hands quickly.

If Chu Anlan had not left Jindu, he would not have encountered that accident.

"Okay, big brother understands." Ye Chenxi said with a playful smile: "Since the sister has spoken, there is no reason for big brother to disobey. With big brother here, An Lan will never leave Jindu."

Hearing his elder brother's solemn promise, Ye Wanqing nodded with satisfaction.

Since being imprisoned in Jinghong Garden, Ye Wanqing has not come out for four days.

A few days ago, Ye Hongwei asked the maid to bring some beauty supplements, and Chu Yanrong also asked the servants to prepare her favorite dessert.

When she left, the maids and servants would ask her carefully: "The master and his wife asked me to ask you, have you thought it through?"

Ye Wanqing's reply never changed, only the three words "Chu Anlan".

Everyone in the mansion, even the pair of stone lions guarding the gate, understood that Ye Wanqing would never change his mind!
Seeing that Ye Hongwei was exhausted physically and mentally by his daughter's marriage, and that he was still angry, Chu Yanrong decided to persuade Ye Wanqing with kind words.

As soon as Chu Yanrong entered Jinghong Garden, she saw Ye Wanqing immersed in practicing calligraphy, looking quite leisurely and elegant.

"Aqing." Chu Yanrong stepped forward and called softly.

"Mother." Ye Wanqing raised his head, put the brush on the inkstone, and bowed to Chu Yanrong.

Chu Yanrong looked at her daughter with a smile, and said lovingly, "Qing'er, don't blame your father. He confined you because he was thinking about you and didn't want you to make the wrong decision. I know that you have grown up and have your own opinions. However, Chu Anlan is a playboy, and you are a lady from a wealthy family. He is not suitable for you. In your opinion, Lu Jilian, the son of Dingyuan Marquis, is well-read, gentle, and a son of a general. He is a perfect match for you. It is really rare."

"Mother." Ye Wanqing did not respond immediately, but continued with her words: "In your opinion, is it true that marrying a gentle and refined man is sweeter and happier than marrying a dandy boy?"

"Yes. That's right!" Chu Yanrong nodded slightly without hesitation.

Ye Wanqing frowned.

In her previous life, she married the gentle and elegant Lu Jilian, but suffered all her life!
