Translator: Nal Venom
Old Madam Ling only managed to pull out a sentence, “Because that's the case, then Ting’er please follow Third Master Yu to where Tian’er to take a look,” before the two old men busied themselves with preparing tea. This made them smile, even letting Ling Zhan, who was still worried about Long Xiang's matter, have a much better mood.
Chu Ting’er suffered enough while trying to catch up to Yu ManTian, but he was still slower than her in the end. As he arrived, he realized Yu ManTian was standing near the well, muttering indistinctly to himself.
Ling Tian and Ling Chen stood under the wine rack, grinning at Third Master Yu who was muttering to herself like a madman raving beside a well, it was as if they were watching a good show. Chu Ting’er immediately felt a headache and went to peek into the well, curious as to what was inside.
All he saw was a small board erected beside the well, and on it it was written: ‘Third Master of the Yu Family, unrivalled in martial arts. Without hesitation use his body, open new land.’
Yu ManTian constantly muttered these few words to himself, gradually getting more and more excited. He pointed with a finger and spoke in a tone full of pride as Chu Ting’er approached, saying, “Madam, look at this! This is the board set up by Ling Tian in honor of my legendary strength. Actually, he was slightly exaggerating this, but actually he was not too far from the truth, hahaha.”.
Chu Ting’er at this moment had already opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and the corner of his mouth twitched nonstop. In the end, he could not help it and exploded with the sound of ‘puchi’. With great difficulty, he staggered to where the wine rack was, grasping the table with one trembling hand as he lowered himself onto the chair. Ling Chen immediately went to pat her on the back, trying to calm her down.
Looks like Third Master Yu's goal is to ‘crush’ the entire Ling Residence!
How did Chu Ting’er not realize the history of this well? When a new well suddenly grew in his son's backyard, of course he would be the first to question him! However, after knowing what happened, and seeing Yu ManTian's arrogant face, controlling one's laughter would make his organs convulsing with effort….
Yu ManTian was actually a bit reluctant to part with the well, in his heart, he had already decided that when all the other members of the Yu Family were here, it was in his heart, he would definitely bring them here to witness his glorious achievements!
“Brat, what ideas do you have? Come and tell them, this third master will make a decision for the both of you! ” Yu ManTian spoke in a confident tone. He then added, “No need much consideration. Just tell me what's on your mind, no shame!”
Hearing her words, Chu Ting’er could not help but roll her eyes. The way Third Master Yu spoke, it seemed like Ling Tian and Yu BingYan were pair of unlucky lovers that required him to intervene and mediate.
So, by taking this opportunity, Chu Ting’er could only wisely say, “Tian’er, what we mean is that you can decide this matter yourself. No matter who you choose, as long as you like it, we will not interfere with your wedding. After all, based on our current status, we no longer need to bow our heads when facing other families.
Ling Tian muttered doubtfully to himself for a while, before speaking solemnly, “BingYan is a good girl, and will definitely be a good wife. Regardless of whether the Yu Family will come to propose, BingYan will still be one of the main women in my life. However, there is something I must state clearly in front of Third Master Yu. ”
When Ling Tian spoke like that, he had adopted a serious tone that had never been seen in him before. Even the restless Yu ManTian had involuntarily straightened himself.
“Right now, I dare to assure you that BingYan will definitely be my woman! However, I must apologize. I won't be able to give him a name. ” Ling Tian slowly speaking.
The reason why Ling Tian spoke so was because he suspected that the Yu Family was fighting over the title of Young Madam of the Ling Family, which was why they stepped forward to apply. This was done to slowly seize the power of the Ling Family. If the Yu Family wanted to use BingYan as a bargaining tool, it would only work effectively if he had the position of first wife. So, without it, they would not be able to cause much trouble, and it would be doubled since Ling Tian was still watching over them.
Of course, the best way is to immediately reject the marriage proposal and cut all potential problems. However, Ling Tian was unwilling to do so, and Yu BingYan might as well be heavily injured by it. The Yu family could then use this opportunity to make a fuss! If they cut off the relationship, this would be a terrible result.
At this moment, Yu ManTian felt that his intelligence had surpassed death. No wonder his eldest brother had asked him to come here to unite them, he was indeed a person who had far-sightedness ahead. If it was someone else, how could Ling Tian submit so easily to them, given his arrogant and stubborn attitude? Other than Third Master himself, who could finish it so cleanly and properly?
“Third Master, engagement gift.” Xue Leng who had rushed over had been standing by the side for quite a while, and had now come to ask Yu ManTian.
“Yes, I know I know. I am now very calm, very calm.” 1 Yu ManTian actually heard the expression ‘engtakan’ gift as ‘quiet and steady’. “You don't need to panic. This Third Master was very calm when dealing with important matters. I'll be careful!”
Xue Leng was furious, but could only whisper to her again, “This is an engagement gift, Third Master. Both parties should exchange engagement marks.”
It was only at this moment that Yu ManTian was shocked. However, groping his body, he realized that he had nothing. He immediately became red from embarrassment, and shouted loudly, “BingYan, Yan’er, hurry and get out. Third Uncle has something to consult with you!”
Even though he raised his volume, there was still no sign of Yu BingYan at all. He could only act smart and rub his nose while saying, “This girl, hehe, seems like she is shy ..”
Ling Chen could only sigh when he saw Yu ManTian's mannerisms. In her heart, she thought, Sister BingYan was so pitiful, it took her a long time to get what she wanted, but it turned out that they sent this clown to propose. Even if there was nothing wrong, this could still be considered a laughingstock, to end this proposal and engagement with a strange note. With Yu BingYan's current emotions, she might have long since hidden behind a blanket, let alone responded to Yu ManTian's shout. At this point, Ling Chen stood up and smiled, saying, “Third Master, no need to panic, I will go and find Sister BingYan.”
Chu Ting’er nodded towards Ling Chen and took out a white jade box, presenting it solemnly to Yu ManTian. “Third Master Yu, this is the heirloom of the Ling Family. That year, our ancestors and his wife were poor, so when they tied the knot, our ancestors had nothing to buy the engagement sign, he said, and could only take off the brass ring on his headband and form it into chains. With such a small sign, they spend their lives together in love. However, the strange thing was that as the Ling Family got richer, our ancestor bought a new jade pendant for his wife, but he refused to let go of the connected heart chain! Just like that, they lived until they were old, and just before he died, his wife agreed to let go of his chain and give it to her daughter-in-law. He left behind these words, that all the daughters-in-law of the Ling Family should wear this, symbolizing that the hearts of the couple would beat as one. Since then, this has continued as the Ling Family's only heirloom!”
Hearing this, even the carefree Yu ManTian also showed a rare expression of respect and admiration and earnestly received this white jade box. Yu ManTian blaring, “Sister-in-law, rest assured. My Yu Family Princess will live up to your expectations.
As Chu Ting’er nodded his head calmly, Ling Chen returned, his face all smiling as he spoke, “Sister BingYan has been hiding under the covers due to her embarrassment.” As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and revealed a piece of jade, “This is the engagement gift that Sister BingYan has told me to hand over to you. Young noble, this is a good item!”
As Ling Chen took out the jade, Ling Tian was fixated on him. Why was Yu BingYan's engagement gift exactly the same as Shui QianRou's gift, even up to its size? What the hell is going on?
Just as he reached out his hand, Ling Chen's hand pulled back as he continued, “However, Sister BingYan has a condition to be declared. This is not something I have to say, so we have to wait for Sister BingYan to come.”
Everyone was shocked, as no one expected that someone as shy as him would come during his big event! Everyone turned their heads towards Yu ManTian, smiling to themselves. Indeed, he could be considered a member of the Yu Family, being able to shake off his embarrassment!
Under everyone's gaze, Yu BingYan slowly and timidly walked out to meet everyone. His jade-white smooth face was dyed with a hint of red mist, his head was trying to shrink to his chest and his hands were constantly tugging at the tip of his shirt. From this, one could see just how much courage he had gathered to appear here.
“Aibi, Third Uncle.” Yu BingYan bowed formally once and began to tremble, “At this point, I believe that I do not have the ability to make a request, but there is something I need to say, or I won't feel comfortable. Please forgive me!”
“For this engagement, did the elders agree to allow Yan’er to be Brother Tian's concubine!” Yu BingYan bit her lips as she spoke, her face was already deathly pale.
“Why is that?!” Chu Ting’er almost jumped out of her skin in fear. This was the first time he had seen a woman wanting to be demoted instead of promoted! One must know how big the difference in position is between the first wife and concubine! Especially for the only princess in the strongest noble family, to ask for such a thing beyond everyone's expectations!”
