On this day, Xia Jingsheng and Sun Wenxi received an invitation card.

He Kaiqing and Duan Yixiong will get engaged in a few days, both of them are famous families, the engagement ceremony is very grand.

Xia Jingsheng frowned when he received the invitation.

Duan Yixiong's appearance is a typical criminal peach blossom appearance, and the female relatives will probably not end well if they are with him.

He Kaiqing is a blessed figure, and the marriage should be happy, how could he get together with Duan Yixiong?

Helplessly, this matter of love between men and women, and love between children, is not allowed to be discussed by others, even Xia Jingsheng has no right to interfere.

On the day of the engagement, celebrities gathered, and Mayor Mai personally presided over the ceremony for the couple.

He Kaiqing wore a plain white long gauze skirt and a garland of small flower buds on her head, with a happy smile on her face.

Look at Duan Yixiong again, he is dressed in a neat suit and has a stalwart figure.He looks fierce, and his smile mixed with it during the period does not seem to be icing on the cake, but rather like adding to the snake.

But no one cared about this, the guests present all praised Duan Yat-hung for his handsome appearance and extraordinary heroism, everyone was very happy.

Except Duan Yicai.

He is the boss of the Duan family, according to the tradition, it is his turn to marry a wife first, and then Duan Yixiong's turn.

But Master Duan doted on Duan Yixiong, listened to the rhetoric of new ideas and new customs, and agreed to let his second son get engaged to his sweetheart first.

Considering that it's just an engagement, not a formal marriage, it's not considered a violation of old customs.

During these days, Duan Feng always helped Duan Yicai to see each other, hoping to find a good wife for him.

The portraits of the famous lady and the rich lady were sent to Duan Yicai's room like water every day, filling up the painting tube.

The matchmaker also frequently inquired, what kind of person does this young and old family want to find?

But Duan Yicai just didn't let go, he sent out the scroll as it was when it arrived.

If Duan Feng gave the order to die, Duan Yicai would use the trick of "putting down the pick" to put the business of the pharmacy aside.

Now Duan Yi is the manager of the Duan family pharmacy, and he takes care of all the big and small matters. If he leaves the pick, the pharmacy's business cannot be developed normally.

Duan Feng ran out of options and thought of another trick.

Since Duan Yicai didn't want to look at the portraits, why not just look at the real person, maybe the young men and women will see each other right when they meet.

Ever since, many single young women were invited to the engagement ceremony, and at a glance, they could see their beautiful faces.

The well-known ladies may still be concerned about the defense of men and women, so it is not easy to strike up a conversation. Some courageous rich ladies who have stayed abroad have no such worries, and communicate with Duan Yicai frankly.

"Young Master, would you like to enjoy your face and have a drink?" A woman in a cheongsam of auspicious cloud brocade offered Duan Yicai a glass of wine with a smile.

The cheongsam outlined the woman's graceful curves, and her snow-white thighs made people dizzy, but Duan Yicai didn't even give her a straight look.

His eyes were fixed on He Kaiqing who was about to take the stage.

He Kaiqing stepped on the steps with snow-white leather shoes.

Perhaps the heels were too high, and the long skirt was too cumbersome, so her feet trembled suddenly, and she was about to fall.

Duan Yixiong walked ahead, not paying attention to the situation behind him.

It was Duan Yicai who quickly passed through the crowd, rushed to He Kaiqing's side, and hugged him.

"Ouch." He Kaiqing cried out in pain, leaning against Duan Yicai's arms.

"Have you ever been hurt?" Duan Yicai asked anxiously.

He took He Kaiqing aside and took off the high heels for her.

Fortunately, it was only a minor injury and no bones were hurt.

He Kaiqing looked at Duan Yicai who was rubbing her ankle, felt that the posture was too ambiguous, so she quickly pulled her foot away, and said softly, "Thank you, brother."

This title also clearly made Duan Yicai realize that He Kaiqing will be his sister-in-law from now on.

He gently put He Kaiqing's foot down, and looked worriedly at the leather shoe with a broken heel in front of him.

The auspicious time of engagement could not be delayed, and there was no suitable shoe to replace it.

While struggling, the girl who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Duan Yicai picked up the leather shoe with a broken heel and looked at it.

"The size is the same size as my shoes. I see that my shoes are all white. Why don't you wear mine first?"

Only then did Duan Yi look at the girl.

He Kaiqing finally put on the temporarily borrowed leather shoes and took the stage.

Under the stage, Duan Yicai nodded and said: "Thank you, I haven't asked you how to address the girl yet?"

"I've heard that the Duan Mansion places great emphasis on etiquette, but I didn't expect to treat guests like this." The girl smiled, "Forget it, it doesn't hurt to say it again."

"My surname is Feng, and my name is Shunzhen." The girl smiled.

There was only such a wealthy local family named Feng, and Duan Yicai immediately guessed the other party's background.

"I was the one to be rude today, and I hope Miss Haihan." After Duan Yi finished speaking, he made a serious bow.

"Pfft." Feng Shunzhen covered her mouth and smiled, "You are really just as the rumors say, very upright and upright.

As soon as their conversation started, He Kaiqing came over with a wine glass.

She looked Feng Shunzhen up and down curiously, and then smiled with satisfaction: "It's the first time I've seen, brother chatting with a lady, you are so beautiful."

The two girls greeted each other, and He Kaiqing made a cheering gesture to Duan Yicai: "Come on, this one will be my future sister-in-law."

Her voice was not low, and Feng Shunzhen could hear it, which made Duan Yicai blush for no reason.

"Don't pay attention to her, Nizi is talking nonsense." Duan Yicai hurriedly explained.

Feng Shunzhen was not in a hurry, and said openly: "Maybe, what she said will become reality."

In the recent period of the Duan family, it can be said that good things come in pairs. Since Duan Yat-hung and He Kaiqing got engaged, Duan Yat-cai, who has been quiet in his emotional life for many years, also talked about a girlfriend.

It's just that the happy event didn't last long.

A few days ago, an explosive news appeared on the headlines of newspapers in Jiangcheng.

Duan Yixiong was infected with leprosy and had symptoms such as skin rash and loss of consciousness in the affected area.

For a time, the public opinion in the city was uproarious.

When Xia Jingsheng heard about this, he was listening to Pingtan with Sun Wenxi in the teahouse. He had good hearing and heard his neighbor whisper: "Have you heard that the second young master of the Duan family has leprosy."

"This disease is tricky and contagious. I think the Duan family will probably become disabled."

"Who says it's not? I heard that Master Duan hired the most famous doctor and spent a lot of money to seek medical treatment, but he couldn't be cured."

"It's pitiful to say the least. The Duan family originally opened a pharmacy, but now their family members are sick and can't be cured."

"Who told him to marry He Kaiqing? This disease was contracted from He Kaiqing."

"There's no reason in this world for a man to get leprosy. It's not from a woman. He Kaiqing is also a womanizer..."

The words got worse and worse, Xia Jingsheng slammed his teacup on the table, "It's just nonsense."

"Hey!" Those people were talking a lot, and when Xia Jingsheng interrupted them, they became impatient, "What's the matter with you, how did you talk?"

Xia Jingsheng's face was as frosty, and he reprimanded: "Those who are ignorant, who said that men can't get leprosy!"

"My father told me that if a man is infected with leprosy, it must be infected by a woman. In the past, he would have divorced his wife." The neighbor said triumphantly.

Sun Wenxi sneered and said: "Leprosy is an infectious disease, and the germs don't specifically pick on women. The so-called 'over the wind' is completely nonsense."

The neighbor was unconvinced, and wanted to refute, but was reprimanded by the person next to him: "Keep your voice down, you can't even hear the words."

It just stopped.

Sun Xia and Sun Xia also lost the mood of listening to Qu'er, and when they left the teahouse, the newspaper boy who sold the newspaper said loudly: "The newspaper is sold, the newspaper is sold, Miss He is suffering from leprosy, and the second youngest of the Duan family is innocently infected—— "

Instigated by the directional title, He Kaiqing's reputation plummeted.

In the past, Miss Gaomen was admired by everyone, but now she is an ominous person that everyone avoids.

He Ming ordered He Kaiqing to be isolated, and his servants delivered meals and changed clothes.

Every day, one group after another of doctors came to see He Kaiqing, but each one's speech was ambiguous, and it was impossible to see why.

He Kaiqing had to drink that big bowl of bitter medicine every day, and finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, and when the maid was delivering food to the room, she pressed the maid's hand with a handkerchief.

The servant girl was terrified, she tried her best to retract her hand, because He Kaiqing had contagious leprosy.

He Kaiqing had no choice but to grab the servant girl's hand firmly through the veil, and said softly: "Don't shout, don't say anything, do something for me, if you promise not to shout, I will let go of your hand."

The maid nodded feebly.

He Kaiqing let go of the restraint on her according to her words, and the maid hung her head timidly.

"Relax, I didn't touch you, my veil is clean, I just want you to deliver a letter for me." He Kaiqing said, and handed a letter to the maid.

The letter was written to Xia Jingsheng. He Kaiqing stared into the servant girl's eyes and said solemnly, "Xiao Tao, you have served me by my side for many years, and I trust you. I have seen so many doctors and eaten so many... However, the illness has not improved, so you send this letter to Sun's family and give it to Mr. Xia, if he reads the letter, he will understand."

Xiaotao is loyal, so she took the letter and went to Sun's house.

At the dinner table of the Sun family, this matter is also being discussed at the moment.

Sun Qiman sighed: "Miss He's reputation is over. There are very few people who can be cured of leprosy. Most of the sick girls can only live in temples for the rest of their lives."

When Sun Wenxi was studying abroad, he heard about the theory of leprosy. He disagreed: "As long as you insist on treating it, there is always a way. Besides, if you have contact with leprosy patients, as long as you are not too close, you will not be infected."

Sun Qiman shook his head and said: "You guys are still too young to understand the deep-rooted prejudices of the world. It is a great shame for a woman to "pass the wind" to her husband's family. Now all the dangerous things in the He family have to be collected. Get up, lest the girl's family can't think about it for a while and commit suicide."

Xia Jingsheng frowned and said, "It's not fair."

"There is no absolute fairness in everything in this world. He Kaiqing is lucky to be born into a wealthy family. If the poor suffer from such a disease, they will only die."

Just as he was talking, the concierge said: "Master, someone from the He family has come, claiming to be Miss He's maid."

Sun Qiman was startled, hesitantly said: "This..."

Xia Jingsheng and Sun Wenxi looked at each other, and said in unison: "Let her in quickly."
