Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 40 The young marquis proposes marriage under the tree

Just when Shen Qinglan was about to get up and go to Shoukangyuan, Yu Yinghui stopped her.

"Sisi, please sit down first. What's going on between you and the young Marquis?"

I knew she was going to ask this.

"It's nothing, we just played together when we were kids."

"It's okay... Then why did he suddenly come to congratulate your grandmother on her birthday? Your father also said that you often go to Sanfang Academy to look for the young Marquis recently. You two don't know how to..."

"No!" Shen Qinglan interrupted Yu Yinghui's thoughts.

"Mom, little Marquis and I had some misunderstandings when we were young. We resolved the misunderstanding some time ago, and now we are just like brother and sister."

"You child, the little Marquis is of noble character. That dead girl Shen Qingzhi has already married to the prefect's mansion, so you just..."

Shen Qinglan quickly stood up and ran out the door, "Mom, I'm going to pay my respects to my grandmother first!"

When he went out, Shen Yan was walking towards him.

Before Shen Qinglan could say hello to him, he reprimanded him: "Girls are running around and jumping around even when they have hair extensions. What a shame!"

"Father."

Shen Qinglan bowed politely, and Shen Yan couldn't help but lament in his heart when he saw her acting out of character.

This child was so alienated from him.

In the past, when he taught Shen Qinglan a lesson, Shen Qinglan would always say something back, but now she just lowered her head silently.

"That's all, go down and I'll go see your mother."

"yes."

In Shoukang Courtyard, Mu Xingze was sitting next to his grandmother. The two talked about their childhood, laughing constantly.

Shen Qinglan pushed the door open and entered. As soon as he sat down and said hello to them, her grandmother told them that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the house to rest and let them do what they wanted.

The scene suddenly felt awkward. Shen Qinglan pursed her lips and thought, as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed!

"Brother Xingze, are you here to visit my grandmother today?"

Mu Xingze nodded, looked at Shen Qinglan and smiled, "Let's see how you are doing lately..."

"Didn't we just meet the day before yesterday? I'm very good." Shen Qinglan also smiled at him.

"Well, Young Master Liu of the Liu Mansion sent me an invitation yesterday, inviting me to attend the poetry gathering the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come along?"

Shen Qinglan suddenly couldn't laugh, and the smile froze on his face.

"Brother Xingze, I have to go back to Jing'an Academy to attend classes the day after tomorrow! I took leave these two days because of family matters. After all, I have paid the tuition, so it would not be good not to go."

She originally wanted to drop out of school, but her family refused. They even thought that she became more stable because she went to Jing'an Academy!

Although I am very reluctant, now I can use it as an excuse to avoid that crappy poetry club.

"The poetry recital is held in the evening. It won't delay my sister's studies. Besides, my sister is very talented. Many people in the city are gossiping about you. Why not take the opportunity of these poetry recitals to prove yourself?"

Mu Xingze heard that Shen Qinglan didn't want to participate in the poetry meeting last time, but he agreed because he wanted to go.

I don't know why, today he personally invited her, but she refused.

"The last time I attended the poetry meeting, it was because Qian Lingshuang promised to give me a crane after the poetry meeting. I thought that my grandmother's birthday banquet was coming, and I would like to use the crane as a birthday gift. As for those gossips... I don't care at all. "Shen Qinglan said.

She can tolerate gossip, but she won't show mercy to anyone who doesn't have the foresight to make serious calculations.

"So...that's it..." Mu Xingze was a little disappointed.

"Well, thank you for coming to my grandmother's birthday party. She is getting older and always misses the past. She is really happy that you can come."

"You don't have to be so polite. My grandmother and Mrs. Shen were sisters. I should have come to say hello to Mrs. Shen on behalf of my late grandmother."

After saying that, Mu Xingze stood up and said, "Since Madam Tai is feeling unwell and needs to rest, I will take my leave first."

Shen Qinglan also stood up, "Then Sisi will see you off."

-

Walking in the garden of Shen Mansion, Mu Xingze pointed to a tall sycamore tree and said, "Sisi, do you remember? We used to play under that tree when we were children, and you played the princess in the play.

You ask me to play the role of chamberlain, and if I refuse, you cry and throw stones at me."

Hearing Mu Xingze mention it, fragments of the original owner's memory flashed into Shen Qinglan's mind.

"Well, I still remember that you suddenly picked up a very large stone from the water and tried to throw it at me, and finally hit your own foot."

As he said this, Shen Qinglan couldn't help but laugh.

Mu Xingze liked to show off his abilities very much when he was a child. He would pretend to be able to handle things in front of her even though he couldn't carry them. He would do things that he clearly couldn't do as long as she asked.

Suddenly, Mu Xingze stopped and walked towards the sycamore tree, and Shen Qinglan followed.

I saw him walking behind the tree and said excitedly: "Look, there are still words we carved here."

Shen Qinglan knelt down and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a word "星" on it, and a word "LAN" on it, but it was so long ago that it was difficult to distinguish them.

"Sisi, you have broken off the engagement now, and I have not married yet. I know that you are simple-minded and a little unruly. You also know my temperament. If I wanted to marry you, would you agree?" Mu Xingze

road.

Faced with his sudden marriage proposal, Shen Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up, turning her back to him, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Oh my god, I'm going to cry... Is this the benefit of being a green tea?

Sure enough, men all like green tea.

She originally wanted to rein in the situation, but she didn't expect that her strength no longer allowed her to do so?

Seeing that Shen Qinglan remained silent, Mu Xingze felt even more disappointed.

Shen Qinglan clutched her chest, calming herself down slowly, and asked, "Brother Xingze, don't you dislike Sisi being a merchant girl?"

"How could it be? I have never disliked it! I swear to God, I, Mu Xingze, have never disliked Shen Qinglan's background. If I had, I would have been relegated to a lowly position and would not be able to stand up!"

Although a little shocked, Shen Qinglan was still very happy, but...

"There is a huge difference in status between you and me. I'm afraid your family won't agree."

"Then if I can convince my family, would you be willing?"

Mu Xingze walked up to her and looked at her sincerely.

Looking up and meeting his gaze, Shen Qinglan admitted that she was really moved by such pure and pure eyes and such a good family background. But soon, her heart became cold again.

"Although I don't read much, I also know that if virtue is not worthy of you, there will be disaster. I am not worthy of you, I'm afraid..."

When Mu Xingze heard what she said, he stepped forward and took her hand.

Her hands were cold, delicate and soft.

"Sisi, I have never felt that you are not worthy of me. You are the best woman in my heart. You don't have to feel inferior. Just believe in me. I will protect you, love you, and never let you get hurt.

I won’t be like Meng Jingming, who changes his mind when he sees something different.”

Shen Qinglan's heart was beating fast, her hands and feet suddenly felt cold, and her head felt swollen.

"I... this is too sudden. I have to think about it carefully. Brother Xingze, I won't send you off yet."
