Chapter 913: Chapter 913: I Disagree with This Matter! (1st Update) Chapter 913: Chapter 913: I Disagree with This Matter! (1st Update) Xue An looked at Tang Ling’er with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Some things are always better to be clarified face-to-face!”
Tang Ling’er was taken aback.
What kind of response was that?
Agreement or disagreement?
But Tang Ling’er also understood how difficult it was for a man to agree to marry into a woman’s family, after all, in this era, a son-in-law had no status at all.
Therefore, she planned to speak up to explain and alleviate Xue An’s concerns.
But at this moment, Xue An lifted his eyes to the distance, then said indifferently, “Let’s go! In a while… there will be plenty more to do!”
With that, Xue An strode forward.
Tang Ling’er watched Xue An’s retreating figure, secretly biting her silver teeth.
No matter what, when she faced her father, she would have to make her position clear.
At this moment.
In the main study.
Yao Yu and Yao Chaofeng were accompanying a still-angry Tang Sheng, drinking tea.
Also in attendance were several favored retainers from inside the Tang Mansion.
These men were mostly failed scholars with no hope of official titles, but due to their talent for flattery and opportunism, they were held in high regard by Tang Sheng, who was fond of culture and gentlemen.
Of course, these men had also been bought off by Yao Yu and her son Yao Chaofeng, so all their speeches were full of various praises for Yao Chaofeng’s talent and wisdom.
This filled Yao Chaofeng with secretive pride.
Xue An.
With the advantages of timing, location, and harmony on my side, I’d like to see how you can compete with me.
Just then.
The sound of servants and maids bowing and paying respects could be heard from outside the door.
“Miss!”
And then the door to the study was pushed open.
Tang Ling’er and Xue An entered side by side.
The simultaneous appearance of these two caused a slight stir among the people in the study.
Tang Sheng, unable to contain his anger, let out a cold snort.
And Yao Chaofeng, who had been feeling smug, now had a frozen expression, his eyelids twitching madly.
Because he noticed that Tang Ling’er, who never showed him any affection, was all smiles and coy glances in the presence of Xue An, and she seemed as meek as a little wife.
Moreover, the two of them standing together looked like a perfect match, like a pair of mandarin ducks.
How could this not drive him mad with jealousy?
Only Yao Yu acted swiftly, quickly saying, “Oh, this must be the famous Master Xue An! Tsk tsk, truly a handsome and talented man!”
But her words of admiration sounded rather strange in this context.
At least Tang Sheng’s face gradually darkened.
“Xue An, you’ve traveled all the way to the Capital City to come to the Tang Family, what is it that you seek?”
Before Xue An could speak.
Tang Ling’er, unable to restrain herself, stepped forward and said, “Father! The reason Xue An has come is all because of my invitation!”
“Hmm?” Tang Sheng was annoyed, but his tone softened a lot towards his cherished daughter.
“Ling’er, what exactly is going on here?”
Tang Ling’er said in a heavy voice, “Father, I just feel that since our two families were once neighbors, now that the Xue Family has fallen on hard times, I cannot bear to see him buried in obscurity, so I invited him to come to the Capital City.”
Tang Sheng’s expression eased, content that it was not because she had fallen for this man.
But then Tang Ling’er immediately switched her tone.
“And…” Tang Ling’er continued, her cheeks reddening slightly, “as a child I had sworn an oath… to marry Xue An!”
Upon this declaration.
The room fell silent.
A moment later, Tang Sheng burst into a rage, slamming the desk in front of him, “Ling’er, do you understand what you are saying?”
Yao Yu and Yao Chaofeng’s expressions also turned extremely ugly.
Especially Yao Chaofeng, who was staring daggers at Xue An, the intent to kill almost overflowing from his heart.
Tang Ling’er nodded, “Father, of course, I know what I am talking about.”
At this moment, Tang Sheng took a deep breath, striving to calm himself, then said, “Ling’er, do you realize how vast the gap in status between you and him is now?”
Tang Ling’er nodded again, “I know!”
“Then you…?”
Tang Ling’er looked serious, “Father, I have seriously considered everything you’ve mentioned, but I feel that none of it will be a problem!”
“Hm?” Tang Sheng wore a face of utter bafflement.
But Tang Ling’er continued in a cool tone, “Although the Xue Family is now reduced to just him, and he’s in dire straits! As long as he is willing to marry into the Tang Family, all these problems will cease to exist!”
Hiss!
The entire room took a sharp intake of breath.
Because what they were hearing seemed utterly inconceivable.
A daughter of a wealthy family publicly discussing her own marriage was one thing but even suggesting that a man should marry into her family was another.
The scene was simply brimming with weirdness.
At this point, Tang Sheng laughed angrily, “Marry into the family? Haha, very good! Then I would like to ask Mr. Xue An, are you willing or not?”
To use the term ‘Mister’ for Xue An at this time was filled with irony!
Because according to custom, men who married into a family were usually referred to with a term that diminished their stature.
This also showed just how low the status of a son-in-law through marriage was in this era.
All eyes were now focused on Xue An.
And Tang Ling’er, at this point, decided to go all out, her face frosty.
“Xue An, I know this decision may be too difficult for you, but I can assure you, you will not be as lowly regarded as other men who have married into a family!”
With that, Tang Ling’er took a deep breath, “I can use all means to help you achieve an official title, and of course, if you’re unwilling or fail, it doesn’t matter, I can buy a title for you, and you only need to take good care of the household, leaving all other affairs to me!”
This statement left everyone present dumbfounded.
Especially Tang Sheng.
His face turned from pale to red, looking as if it might explode the next moment.
After all, even if social customs were becoming more liberal, there was still nobody who discussed their marriage as openly as Tang Ling’er, not to mention setting conditions for someone to marry into the family.
Such a statement, were it made public, could make people laugh their teeth off.
But Yao Chaofeng didn’t see it that way.
His jealous eyes were practically emitting blue light.
Why couldn’t such good fortune fall upon his head?
After Tang Ling’er finished speaking, she looked earnestly at Xue An.
She felt that she had made such concessions and planned everything for the future.
Surely Xue An wouldn’t have any reason to refuse.
In this, she was quite confident.
But just then, Xue An looked up at Tang Ling’er, then glanced around at everyone present.
A mysterious smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Then he shook his head gently.
“I’m sorry, Miss Tang, this… I regret that I cannot agree to it!”
What?
Tang Ling’er was utterly shocked, hardly believing her own ears.
He actually refused?
And the entire room was equally astounded.
Even Tang Sheng had not anticipated such a turn of events.
Hadn’t he come all this way just to marry into the Tang Family?
Why was he suddenly refusing now?
“Why… why?” Tang Ling’er asked with a trembling voice.
