The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 62: Won’t Let Her Go

In the guest hall, the banquet has already been set.

No matter if it’s for assessing a girl for Yuan Changan, or hosting Lord Vice Minister who came from the capital, this is an important affair.

Therefore, the members of the Yuan Family were all present.

Even the old lady, who usually stayed secluded and devoted to Buddhism, attended the welcoming banquet to see the future granddaughter-in-law’s appearance.

Lady Yuan led Mingzhu in the front.

Not wanting to embarrass Mingzhu, Yuan Changan followed automatically beside his mother.

Not contending with Xie Yunzhen.

This small gesture made Mingzhu feel deeply moved.

She was just a guest, yet she brought trouble to the host family, feeling truly apologetic.

Upon entering, she glanced coolly at Xie Yunzhen, warning him to remain cautious in speech and manners.

Being glanced at, Xie Yunzhen sheepishly touched the tip of his nose.

Are the Yuan Family members really not allowing him to fight back after stealing his bride?

Upon such thought, he immediately straightened his back and looked at Mingzhu with a threatening gaze.

If she dares to accept this marriage proposal, he absolutely will not "let her go"!

The lively banquet hall quieted momentarily due to their arrival.

Then came the low exclamations.

A child couldn’t hold back and loudly asked, "Is she my future aunt? She looks like a fairy, I like her!"

Lady Yuan hadn’t had the chance to tell others about canceling the marriage proposal.

Upon hearing it now, she instinctively looked at Xie Yunzhen.

His demeanor was calm, as if he hadn’t heard the child’s words.

Lady Yuan was puzzled.

The temperament of young people is really unpredictable!

Only Xie Yunzhen knew that at this moment, he desperately wanted to throw that child out.

At such a young age, and yet uttering nonsense.

Didn’t they see the man standing beside Mingzhu was him?

An admonishing gaze fell on him again, Xie Yunzhen looked at Mingzhu with grievance.

The Yuan Family members were bullying the few with many, why couldn’t she see it?

Mingzhu’s heart was in her throat, in settings where Xie Yunzhen was present, she simply couldn’t feel at ease.

It was apparent that Lady Yuan had lost the idea of discussing marriage, she should leave Yangzhou in a couple of days.

She didn’t want to cause trouble for others.

If Xie Yunzhen still wishes to pester, with no outsiders around, she wouldn’t need to tolerate it anymore!

Overlooked the child’s words, Lady Yuan arranged them to be seated.

Men and women sat on separate sides.

Xie Yunzhen, with his prestigious status, was seated at the upper position.

And Mingzhu, being a valued guest of the family, was also seated fairly close to the front.

Just opposite Xie Yunzhen.

Fearing the old lady might say something wrong, Lady Yuan whispered a couple of sentences.

The elder’s eyes dimmed for a moment, a fleeting look of disappointment passed.

Such a lovely girl, if she married Changan and had a few beautiful children afterward, the days would surely be blissful.

With wife and children binding him, Changan wouldn’t be out all day.

The old lady covertly scrutinized Xie Yunzhen, he was indeed handsome, but that face was just too cold.

If truly living married life, still their family’s Changan attracted the girl’s favor.

The old lady was particular about predestined relationships in handling affairs.

At first glance of Mingzhu, she felt a fondness.

With a father like General Ji who bears a backbone of iron and steel, she imagined that Mingzhu too was honest and kind-hearted.

With their family Changan, it was truly a match made in heaven, perfect harmony!

She glanced at her daughter-in-law, silently scolding her for being unpromising.

Mrs. Guan intended to propose, Mingzhu had come to Yangzhou, which clearly indicated their attitude.

No matter what Xie Yunzhen thinks!

If he had the capability, he would’ve long taken Mingzhu as his wife.

Why would he come such a long way, to the Yuan Family to steal a bride?

Once Mingzhu presented the meeting gifts to everyone, the old lady cheerfully beckoned her.

"Mingzhu, come sit by Grandma, let Grandma have a good look at you."

The other side’s face full of kindness, Mingzhu, having lived in the Xie household for many years, could discern true sentiment from fake intentions.

Pausing momentarily, she moved lightly towards the old lady.

"Old Lady..."

"Call me Grandma."

The old lady corrected her like this.

Mingzhu felt embarrassed but followed suit and changed her address, "Grandma."

The old lady immediately smiled so wide her teeth were unseen, "Such a refreshing, good child."

While praising, calling a maid to add a soft stool and tableware beside Mingzhu.

Holding her hand, closely examining Mingzhu’s face.

Her face resembles a silver plate, eyes like watery apricots, the face of one blessed with good fortune.

The old lady grew fonder the more she looked.

"Everyone says peonies are the true national beauty, I think Mingzhu far surpasses, what counts as national grace and celestial beauty, this old lady considers having encountered today."

Aunt of the Yuan Family teased, "A fairy descended to our house, it just remains unknown whether Changan has the fortune or not!"

Young girls are thin-skinned, being teased in public, Mingzhu was extremely shy.

Her cheeks bore a layer of blush.

White with a hint of red, coupled with a girl’s unique coyness, exceptionally beautiful.

The other person teased also quietly blushed.

Wanting to look at Mingzhu, yet daring not to glance much.

Only through sipping tea gracefully, discretely peeking at her.

The sight of the flush touched Yuan Changan, his heart beat faster.

His eyes curved with undisguised laughter appearing.

Lady Yuan’s eyelid twitched, a bad premonition rising within.

This foolish boy, could it be that he’s moved?

If it were in the past, she’d enjoy seeing this happen.

As long as they’re mutually affectionate, this marriage proposal could instantly settle.

But now, a revered fiend has come to the house, presently stalking them.

If Changan wishes to pursue marriage, he’d certainly insult Xie Yunzhen.

Intending to say something, yet hindered by the mother-in-law’s gaze.

The old lady saw the grandson’s reaction, she originally believed Mingzhu was a good girl, now that the grandson likes her too, even less reason to push her away.

As for Xie Yunzhen, wherever he comes from, that’s where he should return.

Mingzhu not marrying him, can he really forcibly seize her?

She took out the prepared meeting gift.

"Grandma didn’t know what little girls like, so can only gift you a Jade Bracelet, jade nurtures people, wishing you peace, health, and a prosperous life thereafter."

The Jade Bracelet was pure and flawless, its hue warm, made of top-grade white jade.

Lady Yuan was astonished, this was a gift prepared for Changan’s wife, why did her mother-in-law act so urgently, presenting it now!

She had just explained the situation, and this proposal was off the table.

Mother-in-law had nodded too.

How come now in a blink, she rescinded her decision?

The old lady didn’t look at the daughter-in-law, leaving her alone in her hurry.

Directly putting the Jade Bracelet on Mingzhu’s wrist, happily observing.

"Only on such beautiful hands can the Jade Bracelet’s beauty be displayed."

Mingzhu noted Lady Yuan’s expression, pondered briefly and understood, this Jade Bracelet had a special significance.

She hurriedly declined, "This is too precious."

"Cherishing it gives it value, otherwise it’s no different than a stone by the roadside."

Holding Mingzhu’s hand, preventing her from removing the bracelet.

"A gift from elders shouldn’t be refused."

Seeing them go back and forth, Xie Yunzhen’s grip on the teacup gradually tightened.

His eyes stung by the Jade Bracelet.

That was his Mingzhu, how could her wrist bear something gifted by another!
