Chapter 302 Back to 13

“Won’t marry me so soon? Why? We are going to marry right away, aren’t we?” Di Yan was stunned and asked hurriedly.

Qin Yuru’s best marriage partner was only him, and his was only her. Qin Huaiyong was not the previous Ningyuan Army General who just arrived in the capital city to report on his work and was nameless, and Di Yan was not the previous pure handsome child of an aristocratic family, either.

Qin Yuru and he were like a broken pot and a broken bowl. One could not dislike the other because neither of them was pure or innocent!

“I am only 13 now. How can I marry you!” When she found Di Yan was anxious, she smiled and pointed at herself with a finger, looking prouder and prouder.

She was very satisfied with 13. At 13, it was not a big deal for one who was not engaged, and everyone was selecting partners at this age, but she was engaged at 15 with a bad reputation. Thus, she disliked this age very much. What a beautiful thing for her to be 13 again!

At 13, she would be able to select her Mr. Right. If she had known she had such good luck, she wouldn’t have wholeheartedly tried to be Di Yan’s wife when she arrived in the capital at that time; when she became a Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion, she could have whatever son of an aristocratic family she wanted. But now Di Yan was her only choice.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuru took a critical look at Di Yan and truly felt that the more she looked at Di Yan, the worse he became in her heart, much worse than Qi Tianyu. Initially, she thought Duke Yong’s Mansion was rich and Di Yan was her best choice, but when she came to the capital city, she found so many sons of aristocratic families were much better than him.

Duke Yong’s Mansion was not as great as she had imagined!

“You are 13? How can it be? You are obviously 15!” Di Yan widened his eyes to look at Qin Yuru and said.

“Cousin, you’re wrong. I am 13, so we can’t marry. After all, I am too young, and my parents will also raise me for two more years!” Qin Yuru said with a smile, blinked her beautiful eyes a couple of times, and lowered her head in a very good mood as if she was too shy to speak.

“What are you talking about?” Di Yan gave a light sneer. He did not understand and also felt Qin Yuru was very strange. “What an idiot! She can’t even remember her age.” When he thought he would marry Qin Yuru in the future, he felt he suffered a loss. After marrying Qin Yuru in the future, he would get many concubines to compensate for his loss.

Previously, Qin’s Mansion had been urging him and Qin Yuru to marry, and he knew Qin Yuru was so eager to marry him at once.

He leaned back, held his hands, and looked at Qin Yuru with some irony, waiting for her explanation.

“Cousin, this is true; you’re wrong!” “Your mother will know after reading the letter. This is good for you and me!” Qin Yuru turned to a straight face and said unhappily as she found Di Yan’s scorn.

In her opinion, this was basically a sure thing. Now it was only a matter of time.

“You are serious?” Di Yan found some problems. After looking her up and down carefully several times, he became serious and asked.

Qin Yuru nodded. “Cousin, what I said is true, truer than anything!”

Di Yan took a look at the letter at his hand and couldn’t help frowning.

“Cousin, you may leave now. Your mother will know after she reads it!” Qin Yuru smiled and said in a very good mood. Since she was happy, she didn’t ask more about what Di Yan and Qi Rongzhi did just now.

Di Yan was full of confusion, but he found Qin Yuru was unwilling to explain it to her, and so he rose and nodded. “In this case, let me pass the letter to my mother!”

Qin Yuru grinned and saw him off unhesitatingly. “Cousin, go quickly!”

No doubt, the faster the matter was dealt with, the better. Her mother said that this matter should be done fast. The faster it was done, the more difficult it would be for others to investigate it in the future. She had just been in the capital for a short time, and not many people knew her real age. Several Misses used to be her good friends, but they did not ask about her age.

This way of thinking made her even calmer, and she further thought it was fortunate that she didn’t make very good friends at that time, or it would be a big flaw now!

As for Duke Yong’s Mansion where Di Yan and Countess Yong knew her condition, Qin Yuru didn’t think that was a problem, for her profits and Duke Yong’s Mansion’s profits were one.

Di Yan left Qin Yuru’s Yalan Pavilion with much confusion. As he walked, he thought about the matter. The more he thought, the stranger he felt. “Maybe others don’t know Qin Yuru’s age, but how can I not?”

He looked up at the falling snowflakes over his head. In fact, this was not a heavy snowfall. After looking around and getting the right direction, he strode forward. Soon, a small patch of snow appeared on the ground.

“Ahhh!” As he turned at a crossing, an affectedly sweet sound suddenly came from the other side. He frowned, thought of Qi Rongzhi without reason, snorted coldly, but did not reach out his hand. Instantly, a small slender figure slipped straight over.

The woman on the other side bumped straight into Di Yan, who backed off two steps and nearly fell, and the letter in his sleeve fell off with the bump.

A servant hurried over, picked up the letter from the ground, and shouted, “Bold slave, haven’t you seen our duke’s heir!”

Sharp-eyed, his servant had already seen the servant girl’s clothes the woman on the other side wore. Now he shouted confidently.

“Sorry, sorry, I did not mean to bump into the duke’s heir!” The servant girl who bumped over raised her head, showing an immature panic on her charming face. At first glance, he knew she lacked social experience, but he felt she was pathetic because of her behavior, which looked pure and natural.

She combined her panic and charm in an inexperienced manner. Immediately, Di Yan’s eyes shone, and the coldness on his face ebbed.

“Are you a newcomer?” Di Yan said gently, eyeing the servant girl’s alluring figure. She was not only stunning but also slender. At first glance, he was so much impressed.

He had seen almost every servant girl of the mansion, but he had never seen such an outstanding one.

What was exceptionally attractive was her look of a good family girl. This was not like the look of a servant or prostitutes he had ever seen, but she seemed to be a perfect mixture of both kinds, leaving him an impression that she had just become a servant girl out of a good family girl.

At first glance, she also looked like a good girl from a family that suddenly declined, but the family had once been rich or powerful.

“I’m a newcomer!” the woman said coyly. Dressed in thin clothes, she seemed to be shivering, looking pathetic. Since he had bad experiences with Qi Rongzhi and Qin Yuru just now, he instantly thought a woman should be like this: slender, small and soft, with an admiration of him.

“Up, the ground is cold!” Di Yan extended a hand, signaling her gently to catch it.

The servant girl blushed coyly but caught Di Yan’s hand with her trembling hand. As Di Yan pulled forcefully, she rose but heavily bumped into his arms due to too much force.

The softness and fragrance in his arms were more alluring than the feeling he held Qi Rongzhi a while ago. The beautiful lady was with a light fragrance that refreshed his heart and soul. Di Yan couldn’t help holding her more tightly.

“Heir of the Duke!” The servant girl pushed him softly, and her face reddened with panic as if she was extremely afraid, looking like a poor small animal accidentally caught by the hunter.

The hunter became more delighted.

After all, the servant girl was not Qi Rongzhi. It was not a big deal to hold her. Di Yan did not release her and looked at the prey in his arms with pride, feeling happier and happier. “I’ve never thought there is such a charming woman in Qin’s Mansion. I shall work out ways to get her!”

“Heir of the Duke!” the servant girl pushed forcefully again and said with much panic, “Heir of the Duke, First Miss will see us!”

Hearing the name of Qin Yuru, Di Yan loosened his grip, looked around to find no trace of her, then heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile instantly, “Why mention my cousin before me? Can she forbid me to stay away from other women? My cousin has dignity and is generous and won’t do such things!”

“Heir of the Duke!” The servant girl was too shy to speak.

“What’s your name?” Di Yan said softly, ready to hold her hand, but she carefully avoided his hand. Yet, Di Yan didn’t care about it. The more she felt ashamed, the more interesting he felt as he teased her.

“My name is Huangrui, Madam Di’s servant!” Huangrui said coyly, looking panicky, but this style was more alluring than the one Qin Yuru and Qi Rongzhi did on purpose.

Every move of hers and every word she said were perfectly natural, making him feel she was sincere.

“Great, you are my auntie’s maid!” Di Yan heaved a sigh, feeling more delighted. If she was only Madam Di’s maid, that would be good, for it was convenient for him to ask for her. The only flaw was he could not see Madam Di now. Otherwise, he would go and ask for her from Madam Di immediately.

“Yes, Heir of the Duke!” Huangrui said coyly.

“You are very good, great!” Di Yan said with a deep meaning, took the letter from his servant, and turned and walked to the outside. Taking a look at Huangrui, he gave a broader smile.

He was determined that he didn’t care about why Qin Yuru wanted to be two years younger and put off their marriage, but he had to show his dissatisfaction and ask Qin’s Mansion to compensate for the loss of two years’ waiting. By then, he could ask the servant girl Huangrui to come over.

“Having a private talk with a beautiful woman at midnight is much interesting than living with Qin Yuru!”

Huangrui stood straight only after Di Yan completely disappeared from her view. Looking at where he disappeared, she blushed a little, thinking about something.

“Childe Di is romantic and interesting indeed. No wonder all the servant girls in the mansion want to meet him. Although I haven’t seen Qin Huaiyong, Di Yan must be a little younger than the Ningyuan Army General of Qin’s Mansion. It is said Duke Yong’s Mansion is now favored by the emperor. If I can be Childe Di’s woman, it will be better than being Ningyuan Army General’s woman.

“Initially, I didn’t think I would necessarily meet Childe Di, but I met him by chance today. This is good. According to Childe Di, First Miss is also kind. That’s much better!”

After thinking this through, Huangrui left with much joy. She went to serve Madam Di with a different purpose. Previously when Qin Yuru secretly went to see Madam Di, she was not allowed to serve them. So, now she hadn’t seen Qin Yuru yet. Her knowledge of some things was only sourced from rumors or overhearing.

Neither of them noticed that a curtain fell silently in the pavilion not far from them. “This is a good coincidence!”

A faint voice sounded with a smile, which seemed a little colder than the air outside the window…
