Chapter 402 I Knew It That I Would Marry Him, Surely!


    The door opened with a creak.


    Ruan Yi was leaning against the wall near the back door outside the Princess Royal’s Mansion. Upon hearing the slight sound, he immediately awakened from his nap. He rubbed his eyes and looked over, just in time to see Qiu Jinn stepping out.


    “Young master!” Ruan Yi greeted and passed Qiu Jinn the stove for warming hands, “It’s freezing tonight!”


    Qiu Jinn waved his hand, “Keep it yourself. I’m okay.” He sounded calm, but Ruan Yi vaguely saw his mouth tilt upwards into a smile with the help of the faint moonlight. Ruan Yi asked curiously, “Young master, how is Miss Ou?”


    “It’s all done.” Qiu Jinn understated, “Okay, let’s go back! There is still something to do tomorrow.”


    Ruan Yi heaved a sigh of relief and smiled happily, “Has the youngdy finally agreed to stop pestering you? That’s so great! Let me see. It is time for the Han Family to give an urate answer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Should I have the hairpin left by your mother prepared first?”


    “You should have the hairpin prepared. But it is not for the Mansion of the Han Family.” Ruan Yi had already brought the horses over while speaking. Qiu Jinn got on his horse, smiling faintly, “You need to send the hairpin here, to the Princess Royal’s Mansion, and ask Chunfu Princess to pass it to Miss Ou.”


    “Huh?” Ruan Yi was getting on the horse when he heard the words, and he was so shocked that he almost fell off the horse! It was fortunate enough that he clenched the reins tightly and climbed onto the saddle finally. He asked with astonishment, “Young master, what do you mean?”


    Qiu Jinnughed, “Can’t you understand? I have changed my mind. I won’t marry Miss Han. I will marry Miss Ou!”


    “Why?” Ruan Yi felt it iprehensible, “Didn’t you always want Miss Ou not to pester you?” Ruan Yi thought in his mind, “You even fobbed off Chunfu Princess with excuses when she came personally to beg you to see Ou Qinn. Though you finally sumbed to the entanglement of Chunfu Princess and agreed to meet Miss Ou tonight, how could you indeed change your mind after the meeting?”


    Not only did Ruan Yi not understand, but also Jiang Qizheng and her husband felt at a loss at this moment. They stayed up and waited for fear that Ou Qinn could not stand the stimtion. “Are you sure that you heard that right? Did he say that he would send someone to give us the token tomorrow instead of sending someone to escort you back to Jing City tomorrow? Or to deliver the token to the Mansion of the Han Family?”


    Jiang Qizheng and her husband had been sighing and worried for Ou Qinn in the room. Hearing the sounds that Ou Qinn ran over from far and kept squealing all the way, Jiang Qizheng was so scared that she ran out barefoot without wearing her shoes, fearing that Ou Qinn had gone out of her senses.


    She pulled Ou Qinn into the room and asked her nervously.


    Sure enough, Ou Qinn had gone crazy! She even began raving!


    The ecstatic Ou Qinn red at them upon hearing their words, “What do you mean!”


    “Oh, well,” Seeing that Ou Qinn got mad, Jiang Qizheng took a deep breath and forced a smile, “We… We are happy for you!”


    ording to the older man, a person in this condition must not be provoked again. The idea shed into Chunfu Princess’s mind. She calmly held Qiu Feng’s hand, beckoning to him to be silent. She said in a soft voice, “Don’t hurry! Tell me slowly! What’s going on?”


    “He said he would send a token tomorrow. When I return to Jing City, he will entrust Prime Minister Xue to propose marriage to me!” Ou Qinn was so happy that she even couldn’t stopughing. Her bright eyes were like the crescent moon. “See, I told you I could marry him! Miss Han? Hua Shenshen? Peng Laiyue? What does it matter even if there are so many women? He is mine and no one can take him from me!”


    The corners of Qiu Feng’s mouth twitched, “Did he say he would marry you?”


    “Sure!” Ou Qinn raised her head proudly, “I want to return to Jing City right away! And then he will propose to me!” She pulled Jiang Qizheng’s sleeve, “Are you willing to urge grand uncle to leave as soon as possible tomorrow? And then I can take a visit to your kid for you!”


    What a silly girl! He just cheated you!


    Qiu Feng and his wife looked at each other. There were sympathy and helplessness in their eyes, “If so… You go home and have a rest now. Tomorrow I will apany you to see your grand uncle!”


    “Ask Meng Tao to make a bowl of soup for her to calm down!” Jiang Qizheng sighed, “Qiu Jinn has cheated her so that she will return to Jing City. There are more elders there who canfort her. And if she arrives at Jing City, I guess Qiu Jinn will get married. By that time, Xing has no choice but to give up!”


    She was distracted. Suddenly Ou Qinn yelled, “I forgot the most critical issue! Qi Zheng, do you know why he agreed?


    “Why? Because he is cheating!” Jiang Qizheng was helpless as she thought in her mind, “But do I dare to tell you the truth when you’re looking so happy? D*mn Qiu Jinn, to extricate himself, he made up such a lie. But he lets us help him to cheat her. What can I say?”


    They struggled for a while. Qiu Feng wanted to share his wife’s care and burdens. So, he stammered, “Does conscience guide him?”


    It was his actual words. From his point of view, Ou Qinn’s efforts for Qiu Jinn deserved Qiu Jinn’smitment!


    But Ou Qinn stared at him angrily because of his actual words. “Jinn is always tolerant, generous, and high-toned. You can’t defame him!”


    “… Are you sure you mean Qiu Jinn?” Qiu Feng asked incredulously. He thought, “Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but isn’t that crazy? I have never done anything wrong in my life, but I dare not to brag myself like this!”


    Jiang Qi Zheng quietly pulled her husband’s sleeve. And then she whispered, “You know that she is addicted to Qiu Jinn. Why bother to stimte her again?” She was crazy. She couldn’t say any words that judged Qiu Jinn!


    The couple looked at Ou Qinn with sympathetic eyes again. Taking lessons from her husband, Jiang Qizheng told a lie, “I think it is because he is already interested in you. However, he is a man with ambition and backbone and so he does not want to be attached to the nobledy from the Northern Army. So, he refused you. But you met him personally tonight and he was so impressed by your sincerity. So…”


    “That ounts for it!” Ou Qinn was suddenly enlightened. “I thought he was suspicious of me! So, he didn’t want to be attached to me!”


    That would be strange, indeed!


    Jiang Qizheng and Qiu Feng hummed in their mind at the same time. “Qiu Jinn is not the guy who is unwilling to attach himself to anyone else. He is the guy who only cares about how rich and powerful his father-inw will be. He even doesn’t care about his wife’s character and appearance!”


    She even believed in such a lie. They were wondering whether she could be cured after she returned to Jing City.


    Jiang Qizheng was so helpless that she wanted to sigh heavily. But she still had to force a smile and reply to her. “Yes, yes… It’s gettingte. Look at you. You don’t even have a coat on a snowy day. Why did you take off your robe?” She reached for what seemed to be a wad of her robe. “Put it on. Meng Tao, go and get my fur coat. Let me take you back to your room. Can’t we talk about it tomorrow?”


    “No!” She didn’t expect that Ou Qinn raised her hands to keep her fingers away. She pouted to say, “This is Jinn’s robe. I am afraid that it may get wet by the night dew. Give me another one!”


    “What?” Jiang Qizheng was shocked!


    Qiu Feng almost knocked over his cup. The couple knew Qiu Jinn well. If he just wanted to put off her, he might lie to her and coax her. But he would never do such a generous act that he took off his robe and put it on her at such midnight!


    The reason was simple. Because of her status, he was not destined to y with her! In this case, unless he nned to marry her, Qiu Jinn even wanted her to hate him. How could he do something like that to make her love him more?


    “Xing said that Qiu Jinn promised to marry her… Is it true? Not to coax her to leave Shazhou?”


    The idea shed across her mind. Jiang Qi Zheng took a deep breath. She remained calm, “Xing, where did you get this robe?”


    “It was windy by theke and so he helped me put it on!” Ou Qinn smiled proudly. “After he left, I took off my robe and wrapped it for fear of getting it dirty.”


    “Theke is so far away from here. You could catch a cold easily without a fur coat. How dare you to take off your robe?” Jiang Qi Zheng’s mouth twitched, “Thank god, you are not my daughter!” Jiang Qizheng thought angrily, “Or I would smack you!”


    Qiu Feng coughed, “What did you talk about tonight? Can you tell us?” He winked at his wife. The point wasn’t to me the silly girl for not taking good care of herself! They needed to figure out what happened tonight. Was this girl crazy, or was she telling the truth?


    “When he arrived…” Ou Qinn was busy sharing her feelings and there was no way she could hide it. Thus, even without Jiang Qizheng’s encouragement, she happily went on, “… And then he asked me whether I agreed on having them in our family.”


    Jiang Qizheng and Qiu Feng were surprised and said, “And then you agreed?” Both of them felt discouraged. Ou Qinn was so in love with Qiu Jinn that she disregarded her reputation and chopped herpetitors. But it was so unfair that her efforts only received such returns.


    “Of course not!” Ou Qinn said, “Am I supposed to be such a generous person? Madame Zhuang has always taught me that the concubines are all sneaky and cannot be spared. I shouldn’t let go of any one of them, even at the risk of making mistakes. How would I say yes to him about having concubines!”


    “… And then?” The couple asked carefully. It did not sound to be a happy ending. So, how the h*ll did it still end so well?


    “And then heughed and said that it was toote and he had to return. He also said that he would send someone to take the token here tomorrow morning!” Ou Qinn screamed excitedly, hugging Jiang Qizheng. “It’s the hairpin of Princess Ruan, which he keeps with himself for his future wife after Ning Yi gave him. It’s for his wife!”


    Jiang Qizheng was finally saved from her tight hug by Qiu Feng’s hand chop. She leaned against her husband and caught her breath, still confused, “What the h*ll has happened?”


    Previously to persuade Qiu Jinn to meet Ou Qinn, she, the princess, had to visit him in person and ttered him as if she would bow down to beg him. But only after a couple of hours, Qiu Jinn had apletely different attitude.


    Who could understand the situation?


    “Is it really true as my husband said that Qiu Jinn had finally found out that his previous rejection to Xing was a total mistake?” Jiang Qizheng thought crazily, “But howe! He never made a mistake. So, what has happened?”


    The poor couple thought about this for the whole night!


    They discussed, guessed, and even had some spats. But they failed to find a usible reason even until the sun rose.


    In sharp contrast to them, Ou Qinn, who was sent back to her own room unconsciously after being hit by Qiu Feng’s hand chop, had a sound sleep with her lover’s coat in her arms.


    The next day midday, when Qiu Jinn was doing the paperwork, he also listened to the report from Ren Ziyong, who sent the token to the Princess Royal’s Mansion. He said, “Chunfu Princess couple and Lady Ou came and received the token. Lady Ou was for sure extremely happy. But Chunfu Princess couple did not look well, albeit friendly. So, I returned after some small talks.”


    “They deserved it!” Qiu Jinn gestured for his servants to serve Ren Ziyong a cup of tea. And he mocked, “Previously, I was being nice and helping her and her husband get back together. But now, she has forgotten my kindness and helped others. How dare she think that I am such a pushover? I am just giving her some little punishment!”
