Chapter 63 The Untamed 6
After a long while, Jiang Fengmian calmed down and looked at Ling Xi and Wei Ying with extremely complicated eyes.
In the end, his thoughts prevailed.
He said softly, "Ah Yu, Ah Ying, are you guys going back to Yunmeng Lotus Pier with Uncle Jiang? Although you don't know of my existence, I am indeed an old friend of your father and mother. Changze and his family unfortunately passed away, and as his good brother, I have the responsibility to raise you for him.
Uncle Jiang also has a sister and a brother, a girl and a boy, who are about the same age as you. I believe you will be able to get along well.
Besides, you two are still young and need someone to take care of you. Lotus Pier has everything and it is more convenient.”
As he spoke, he looked at Ling Xi again. It was unknown what he was thinking of, but his gentle gaze made Ling Xi feel creepy.
Ling Xi didn't know what he was thinking about, and he was having a seizure.
"Ah Ying, I once made an agreement with your father Wei Changze that if we have children in the future, if it is a boy and a girl, we will get married. My son Jiang Cheng is now the same age as Ah Ying. If you don't mind, Uncle Jiang would like to fulfill this marriage agreement. What do you think?"
Ling Xi: “.”
If he could curse someone, Ling Xi would want to curse "tnnd".
What? She wanted to beat someone up, so what? The abacus was making a lot of noise? The abacus beads hit her in the face.
It was not enough for him to just take a fancy to Aying, he also wanted to pull her onto Jiang's boat.
She was 100% sure that her honest father had never arranged this marriage and at most he had just said it as a joke.
In her memory, her mother disliked the Jiang couple the most and had scolded them many times without her knowing.
If this engagement were to take place, her mother would be the first one who would not agree.
Jiang Fengmian said this simply because he was impressed by her and Aying's talents and wanted them to be loyal to the Jiang family. For this, he even offered her the position of the young master's wife of the Jiang family. He was really willing to spend a lot of money.
But she was not what he wanted.
Jiang Fengmian looked at Ling Xi and Wei Ying expectantly. In his expectation, no one would refuse such conditions. Not to mention the marriage contract, even the name of Yunmeng Jiang Clan would not be rejected by anyone.
But he waited for a long time and did not see any expression of happiness or excitement on the two people's faces, let alone ecstasy.
Ling Xi looked indifferent, not thinking that the name of Yunmeng Jiang Clan was anything special. She coldly refused, "I'm sorry, Sect Master Jiang, Ah Ying and I are doing well now. We don't have to worry about food and clothing in Yiling. We live freely and without any constraints. As for Yunmeng Lotus Pier, thank you Sect Master Jiang for your concern, but Ling Xi has no intention of going there."
Hearing Ling Xi say this, Wei Ying also raised his head and said in a childish voice: "If my sister doesn't go, I won't go either. Sect Master Jiang, thank you very much."
He forced a smile at Jiang Fengmian, and his features became much more lively, making people happy when they saw it.
My sister said that we should be polite before we have a falling out.
"As for the engagement that Sect Master Jiang mentioned," Ling Xi smiled sarcastically, "My father and mother never told me that I had any engagement, so this engagement is naturally invalid. Sect Master Jiang doesn't need to mention it again in the future."
If Ling Xi hadn't had a good temper, he would have wanted to point at Jiang Fengmian's face and yell at him. Faced with such a reaction and answer, Jiang Fengmian couldn't help but be shocked. He never thought that someone would reject one of the five great families.
He was anxious, worried, and his face was filled with dissatisfaction and oppression. "How can this be possible? As the saying goes, parents' orders and matchmaker's words are final. This is the engagement between Changze and I. How can we easily cancel it?"
"Hey, you"
Banxia was not convinced when she heard this. She was furious. Isn't this cheating? Where did such a shameless person come from? And he is the head of one of the five great families.
She was about to argue a few words when Xinyi beside her covered her mouth in time, and the rest of her words turned into "wooooooo" sounds.
Wei Ying glared at Jiang Fengmian with a puffed face, obviously dissatisfied with him.
He said that this man was not a good person. Although he didn't understand what the engagement meant, he knew that he must want to kidnap my sister.
Ling Xi was not as angry and depressed as they were. The girl chuckled, her eyes bright with a hint of sarcasm. Her clear and bright eyes seemed to see clearly all the filth and darkness in Jiang Fengmian's heart.
"Master Jiang, let's not beat around the bush. Just because I don't mention something doesn't mean I don't know it, nor does it mean I don't mind it. Do you really think I didn't hear what the mistress of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan said about my mother while I was in Yiling?
My mother has passed away. Madam Jiang insulted my mother and slandered her reputation after her death. I was unfilial for not going to her house to settle the score. You actually dare to tell me that our two families had an engagement. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Ling Xi spoke this in a calm tone, and even had a leisurely smile on her face, but it was this look that made Jiang Fengmian feel extremely embarrassed.
He thought that the two siblings, one eleven years old and the other nine years old, were still just two children, but Wei Yu's words shocked Jiang Fengmian.
Although this girl is young, she is very intelligent and her mind is steady, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Jiang Fengmian thought of his two children again and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It was a month ago that Ling Xi first learned about the words that Yun Meng had spread.
The word that came was that Wei Ying was the son of Jiang Fengmian and Cangse, so Jiang Fengmian spared no effort to find this child, because he wanted this child to replace Jiang Cheng, the young leader of the Jiang family, and become the future leader of the Jiang family.
In order to confirm the authenticity, she made some inquiries and learned that the leader of the Yunmeng Jiang family had been looking for the son of an old friend more and more in the past two years. He had also been away from his wife and children in the Yunmeng Lotus Pier for longer and longer periods of time, but was instead looking for the son of Cangse Sanren.
This caused Mrs. Jiang, Yu Ziyuan, to become increasingly irritable, and the sounds of Yu Ziyuan cursing and throwing things could be heard from the Lotus Pier every day.
The news that Wei Ying was Jiang Fengmian's son spread at this time. The servants of the Lotus Pier said that it was Yu Ziyuan who said this in person.
After hearing the news, Ling Xi was so angry that he laughed.
It turns out that their relationship as husband and wife is not good and it is all their fault. They can even say such things.
At that time, she wanted to go and fight them, but when she calmed down and thought, with her level of cultivation, she would have no problem beating them, but she still had a younger brother to protect, and her power had not yet been established, so the risk would outweigh the gain.
Unexpectedly, before she went, someone came to her door on his own initiative and talked to her about the friendship between brothers and old friends. It was really ridiculous.
