Chapter 542: Chapter 280 Hanging_3

Qian Yixiu spoke sullenly, "Your family’s status is too high for me, I cannot presume to join it."

Liang Jinzhao said, "Is it because of those rumors? For that matter, my grandpa, great-grandma, grandma, and my father have already reprimanded my mother. She cried so hard, saying she will never speak of it again."

Qian Yixiu said helplessly, "I have already offended my future mother-in-law so terribly before even marrying into the family; can I even enter this door?"

Liang Jinzhao chuckled, "Yixiu, you still don’t quite understand my mother. She’s actually very good, cheerful, magnanimous, and virtuous. It’s just that she hasn’t come around to some things, and we haven’t yet told her about you being destined for the Spiritual Medicine. Once she figures it out, she’ll be good to you. Really, she also likes doing business. Take this room, for example—it’s all her own arrangement. When people from our family come to have tea, they always gather in this room."

Qian Yixiu said, "General Liang, in your eyes, your mother must be the best. I also believe she’s a good mother. However, her prejudice against me is too deep, and she looks down on my background too much. It’s an irreconcilable conflict. Let’s just remain friends forever, like when we were children, sharing everything with each other..." As she spoke, Yixiu’s voice became choked with emotion.

"Yixiu," Liang Zhaojin’s eyes nearly bulged out, his voice raising, "I truly cherish you," he finished, then quickly glanced towards the door and lowered his voice, "Even though you have just grown up, and haven’t fully come of age. I can see from your eyes that you’re not an ordinary girl, I like the feeling of being with you. I don’t like the so-called noblewomen of the Capital City; they’re all cut from the same cloth, insincere, perhaps because I grew up in Xishan County, I prefer freshness, authenticity, the simplicity and harmony of Doctor Zhang’s house. Yixiu, give me and my mother a little time, let me convince her, she will change, she will truly accept you."

Qian Yixiu sighed softly, "She won’t truly accept me. I was born in the countryside, and have been in the public eye conducting business since I was young, lacking noble elegance—that’s what you know. There’s also what you don’t know about me—I don’t like being confined to managing household affairs all day, don’t like dealing with so-called noblewomen, don’t enjoy being a virtuous wife in public and a villain in private... I crave a broader world, wanting to do what I enjoy. I know I don’t have the ability to change the status quo, but I want to do something meaningful, not just to make money. Like the cannon, I spent a fortune buying it, had people dismantle it, and offered the blueprints to the Imperial Court. We defeated the Yuan dog, and that gave me a real sense of achievement. And I have even longer-term ambitions... My unconventional ways, not only would your mother dislike them, perhaps your grandpa, your father, including you, wouldn’t accept them either."

Liang Zhaojin actually laughed upon hearing this, saying, "That means we’re alike. I also enjoy taking risks, doing things no one else has done. Like when I established Pili Camp, I didn’t need to gamble with my life, I could have easily enjoyed the legacy of my ancestors. But I didn’t want that. I took a military oath to establish Pili Camp, and in the end, we defeated Yuan dog. I like the thrill and the process. Yixiu, it’s your uniqueness—that is, your unconventionality—that I cherish, and I’m like that too. However, you’re too reckless in your unconventionality, too bold, and lack adherence to rules. This is too dangerous, it’s easy to get burned. You should have someone who understands you, tolerates you, always plans your way out, or prepares your excuses in advance. Although I can’t say I’m extremely cunning, I’m much more careful than you, and I’m quite knowledgeable about various affairs of the Imperial Court. With me by your side, you can be bold and aggressive, and I will guard and escort you—how does that sound?"

Qian Yixiu looked at Uncle Liang across from her, this ancient uncle truly had unconventional ideas. If Zhu Sujin and the Little Monk had some eccentric thoughts, it was normal because she often instilled some modern concepts in them. But for Uncle Liang to have these ideas... perhaps it was related to the Old Monk.

However, what Liang Zhaojin said was indeed true. While in two lifetimes, she could be impulsive and had yet to fully comprehend the rules of ancient times. Even though the Empress Dowager protected her, the old lady was already in her seventies, who knew how much longer she could protect her. The current emperor was still well, yet it was uncertain when Prince Ning would take the throne. And even then, who knew if his temperament would change. It was only when Zhu Sujin ascended the throne that she could truly do as she pleased, but who knew how many years that would be.

Truly... what a pity. Uncle Liang is so nice, but no matter how good he is, she is unwilling to marry into that cage.

PS: Thank you, dear readers, for your rewards and monthly votes, I appreciate it~~ As soon as Yixiu’s family entered the Capital City, Wenwen’s stats began to slide, which Qing Quan had anticipated and repeatedly encouraged herself to persist. Dear readers, even after entering the city, Wenwen will not turn into a typical palace drama~~ Now, Qing Quan is once again asking for genuine subscriptions, writing is not easy, please subscribe. Also, many errors in the text have been corrected earlier, but pirated versions won’t be updated, hence using that to make a fuss in the comments section...
