Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

After lunch, Deng Xiong wanted to send Ji Mingzhu home, but Cheng Daniu and Wang Shi didn't let him.

Not suitable.

Wang asked Aunt Zhichun to personally send Ji Mingzhu back home.

In the main hall of the Cheng mansion's front yard, Old Lady Lin, Mrs. Wang, and Cheng Daniu sat upright, looking thoughtful.

Cheng Wan was not at home, so she went back to her yard to read.

It would not be appropriate for her to just stand by and watch her brother being scolded.

If there is anything that Old Lady Lin and the others think is necessary, they will take the initiative to tell her.

Deng Xiong watched the carriage carrying Aunt Zhichun and Ji Mingzhu go away, humming a tuneless tune, and came in in a very good mood.

"Grandma, godfather, godmother, do you have anything to ask me?"

"Stand still! You're getting bolder and bolder!"

Cheng Daniu shouted coldly, his face showing an extremely rare seriousness.

Deng Xiong was startled, the cheerful smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Wang with some uneasiness.

Wang's heart softened when Deng Xiong looked at her. She wanted to ask Cheng Daniu to be less fierce and not to scare the child, but she swallowed the words back.

Children should be scolded when it is time to do so. Don't try to smooth things over.

Old Mrs. Lin had the same idea, so she didn't say anything.

Cheng Daniu looked at Deng Xiong, who was snapping his fingers unconsciously because of anxiety, and said seriously: "San Xiong, did you like Miss Ji?"

Deng Xiong was stunned, then nodded heavily: "I want to marry Mingzhu as my wife!"

After that, Deng Xiong quickly continued, "I asked Mingzhu, and she is willing to marry me! She said that I am the best person to her, so she wants to go home with me!"

Cheng Daniu/Mrs. Wang/Mrs. Lin: “…” I have been speechless too many times today.

“Sanxiong, it’s a good thing that you and Miss Ji are interested in each other, but you shouldn’t take Miss Ji home without permission.

If you want to marry Miss Ji, you should come back and tell us first. We will find a matchmaker to go to the Ji family to propose marriage and go through the three letters and six ceremonies.

This is the normal process. ”

Wang looked at Deng Xiong with a gentle gaze but a serious tone, and continued:

"Even if Miss Ji wanted to visit our house, you should have told us in advance.

In this way, we will be mentally prepared and can handle things more appropriately.

Sanxiong, Miss Ji is a girl, and a girl's reputation is very important."

Deng Xiong lowered his head, twisted his hands in front of him, and said in a muffled voice: "Mingzhu wanted to go home with me, and I took her home directly because I was happy at the moment, without thinking too much. Grandma, godfather, godmother, I was wrong..."

Deng Xiong's head lowered lower and his voice became smaller and smaller. Although he was such a big guy, he looked pitiful.

Not to mention Old Lady Lin and Mrs. Wang, even Cheng Daniu's face couldn't remain cold.

"Cough!" Cheng Daniu put his right fist against his lips and coughed, then asked Deng Xiong another question: "Did Mingzhu tell you about her family, her parents..."

Cheng Daniu hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Isn't this a bit biased?"

Cheng Daniu's question made Old Lady Lin and Wang think of what Ji Mingzhu said about her mother preferring her younger sister and brother and not caring much about her.

"Lord Ji is fine, but Madam Ji might be a little biased." Deng Xiong frowned, with heartache for Ji Mingzhu in his eyes: "Mingzhu was raised by her grandparents before she was ten years old, while her sister and brother were raised by her mother alone. In addition, Mingzhu's sister and brother are twins, so..."

Deng Xiong didn't finish his words, but Old Lady Lin, Wang and Cheng Daniu all understood what Deng Xiong was trying to say.

As the saying goes, whoever takes care of a child loves him or her.

Ji Mingzhu was raised by her grandparents. Her mother did not invest much in Ji Mingzhu's growth, so naturally the relationship was a little shallow.

Wang recalled Ji Mingzhu's various behaviors, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and frowned slightly.

She always felt that Ji Mingzhu was a little "stupid" and not very smart compared to most people.

Wang blinked and thought to herself, "I hope I'm overthinking it."

"Sanxiong, marriage is a big matter, it's not something you can just get married if you and Mingzhu like each other.

If you want to marry Mingzhu, it depends on whether her parents are willing to marry Mingzhu to you.

Mingzhu is willing to marry you, but we also have to see if their family is reasonable and sensible."

Old Lady Lin looked at Deng Xiong, who was keeping silent with his head down, and continued with a serious expression:

"Don't go looking for Mingzhu for the time being. Let me discuss your matter with Mingzhu with your godfather and godmother. We can come up with a plan, and then we can do what needs to be done according to the plan."

Cheng Daniu and Wang looked at each other, then looked away and said nothing.

Obviously, they both agreed with what Old Lady Lin said.

Deng Xiong nodded heavily, his face looked very bully, his eyes were very honest: "Grandma, I'll remember it, I'll listen to you and my godfather and godmother."

Deng Xiong likes Ji Mingzhu very much, but he also understands that his family will definitely consider him 100% and do what is best for him.

He is not smart and cannot think too much or too thoroughly, so he should just listen to smart people.

"That's right!" Old Mrs. Lin smiled with wrinkles on her face, and looked at Deng Xiong with eyes full of love: "Don't worry, grandma and your godfather and godmother will make sure that your marriage is very clear!"

Deng Xiong left home to find his master, and Old Lady Lin and the other two began to discuss what to do next.

"How many people are there in Mingzhu's family? Are the family members harmonious? What are Mingzhu's parents' temperaments? How do Mingzhu's brothers and sisters treat Mingzhu..."

Old Mrs. Lin counted on her fingers, thinking about the things that needed to be clarified, and Wang and Cheng Daniu added a word or two from time to time.

When it comes to Deng Xiong's marriage, Old Lady Lin, Mrs. Wang and Cheng Daniu are extremely cautious and serious.

They were afraid that if they didn't investigate thoroughly, Deng Xiong would suffer injustice again.

Old Lady Lin and the other two thought a lot, but they didn't expect that Ji Mingzhu's father Ji Dahai came to Cheng's house at night.

Therefore, they no longer need to spend time and energy investigating or inquiring about many matters.

Ji Dahai said it himself.

"After I got off duty, I returned home and asked Marquis Mingzhu why he invited her to be his guest. Mingzhu told me that she was not invited by the marquis, but she went home as a guest with Young Master Deng Xiong." Ji Dahai lowered his head slightly, his tone full of anger and guilt.

Cheng Wan, who was called over, looked at Wang and asked with his eyes: Didn’t you teach Mingzhu in advance not to tell the truth?

Wang: I forgot to tell her separately, but she should have heard what I told Aunt Zhichun before she left.

Cheng Wan pursed her lips, what an honest child.

"It is because I neglected to discipline my daughter that Mingzhu became so ignorant of etiquette and rules. In the end, she even asked the Marquis to support my useless daughter. I am really ashamed of myself."

As he spoke, Ji Dahai stood up, bowed deeply to Cheng Wan, and clasped his hands.
