Chapter 0034 – The Marriage Proposal (2 / 2)

He was more and more certain that there was something wrong with the Wang family, but he couldn’t disobey his father any longer, so he had to retreat with a stiff upper lip.

Early the next morning, Xu was dressed up and went to the Wang family with five carts of gifts to propose marriage.

Chen Zian paced anxiously back and forth in his room, but could not think of a way to respond.

At this moment, Aunt Shen hurriedly marched in, “It is rumored in the mansion that Madame went to the Wang family to propose marriage, and that you will soon marry the Wang family’s fifth wife, but is it true?”

Chen Zian nodded helplessly, and Aunt Shen was shocked, “Why so sudden!”

Chen Zi’an knew that he couldn’t hide it from his own mother, so he could only quickly tell the whole story and sighed, “It’s all my son’s fault! I only wanted to get rid of the Xu family’s cousin, so I put forward a request like that, but I didn’t realize that I would suffer such a disaster!”

“Son, don’t be afraid, it’s a blessing or a curse. Thinking on the bright side, maybe that Miss Wang is really interested in your talent!”

Aunt Shen said words she didn’t believe, and then suddenly remembered something: “Zi’an, I remember that there’s a new child in your yard, just eleven or twelve years old, very cute looking, seems to be called Wangxuan?”

Chen Zian froze, “That’s right.”

“That kid is a stranger, why don’t we let him go out and poke around for information, maybe he can ask something important? Even if you can’t find out anything useful, at least outsiders won’t know it’s your people.”

But Wang Xuan is still a milky half-boy, and can find out what? Although he didn’t agree, Chen Zi’an didn’t want to brush off his mother’s good intentions, so he had to ask Wangxuan to come in.

“There’s a very important thing that’s going to be given to you to do, will you do it?”

“Your Excellency has treated Wangxuan with great kindness, so Wangxuan is naturally willing to do so!”

Wang Xuan looked at him in confusion, curiosity sparkling in his grape-like eyes.

Time in a hurry, Chen Zian can only rely on their own impression, hastily write down some and the Wang family has relatives of the residence, handed over to Wang Xuan hands, instructed: “According to this directory to go to probe, as long as the inquiry and the Wang family Wu Niang related things, no matter how much, through the report back to me, I have a reward for all, can you write down?”

“Yes! Young master!”

Wang Xuan solemnly nodded his head, but his face was still an unchildlike appearance.

Chen Zian could only let out a dark sigh, a dead horse is a live horse.

What Chen Zian didn’t know was that Wang Xuan had just left the Chen Mansion with his front foot, and the childish color on his face had faded away.

He was seen quickly changing into a linen dress with patches, messing up his hair, smearing a layer of pot ash on his face, and hurriedly rushing to the nearest tea store beside the Wang family.

The moment he met the tea store owner, he changed his expression to one of misery, and a simple country tone:

“Shopkeeper, please be kind! Some years ago, my sister sold herself to the Wang family in order to pay for my mother’s medical expenses. A few years ago, my sister has become that the king’s fifth lady’s maid of honor, but recently I do not know how, a number of times did not deliver silver out of the miles! My mother is very sick and dying, please help me–“
