Chapter 255 Gui Xiang Wants to Go on Another Blind Date (2)

Dazhu thought, "Why not just ask if this marriage is suitable? We see each other every day, why make things so complicated?" That evening, Guixiang and Steward Han came home for dinner and to stay overnight. After dinner, Dazhu went directly to Steward Han.

"Manager Han! I'd like to ask, are you married?"

Manager Han was taken aback, but still answered:

"I have no betrothal at home, to be honest, Master Wang! I have no relatives left. I was raised by the kindness of many families!"

Dazhu was somewhat taken aback, but he continued:

"Manager Han! I didn't mean anything by it. I was just thinking about my poor eldest daughter, who still hasn't found someone who cares about her!"

Seeing that Manager Han and Gui Xiang have been working together for so long, I wanted to ask Manager Han what his thoughts are about Gui Xiang!

"Miss Guixiang is beautiful, generous, gentle, and virtuous! I dare not disrespect her, nor dare I have any improper thoughts!!"

Dazhu, oblivious to such pedantic talk, asked directly:

"Manager Han! To be honest, if I were to betroth Gui Xiang to you, would you be willing?"

Manager Han hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply:

"I would be delighted! But I don't know if Miss Guixiang would agree? After all, I am much older than Miss Guixiang."

Da Zhu laughed heartily:

“Manager Han! Since I’ve brought this up, I should definitely ask Gui Xiang first. She also thinks Manager Han is excellent in every way, but she’s afraid that she’s lost her virginity to someone before and feels that she’s not good enough for Manager Han!”

After Da Zhu finished speaking, he stared intently at Manager Han, carefully observing his expression. Manager Han replied without hesitation:

“Master Wang! Gui Xiang was deceived by a villain, but the fault does not lie with her! Besides, Gui Xiang was young when she made the mistake, so as her family, I think it is understandable!”

Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young? I think we should let bygones be bygones and not hold grudges!

Dazhu clapped his hands in delight:

"Good! What a fine way to let bygones be bygones! Manager Han! That's generous! Then I'll entrust Gui Xiang to you! You must treat her well!"

Dazhu choked up as he spoke.

Steward Han solemnly rose and bowed:

"Master Wang! I am willing to go through fire and water for Guixiang without hesitation!"

Da Zhu chuckled:

"Manager Han! Calling me father-in-law would sound much better!"

Manager Han also laughed:

"Father-in-law, I pay my respects! I, Han Xuewen, wish you all your dreams come true!"

Big Pillar follows the snake's attack:

"Xuewen! Guixiang has suffered a lot. It's my fault as her father for not raising her well! Xuewen!"

Be nicer to Guixiang from now on! What parent doesn't want their children to succeed? But if they really don't have the skills, as her father, I only wish my daughter a happy and fulfilling life!

“Father-in-law! If Guixiang is willing to marry me, I will definitely not let her suffer any injustice! Miss Guixiang is of noble birth, and for her to marry a commoner like me is truly a blessing from my ancestors!”

The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted happily, but neither of them thought to ask Guixiang's opinion. This is the nature of a patriarchal society, where a woman's wishes are not taken into consideration.

The father-in-law and son-in-law were overjoyed when the engagement was arranged. Gui Xiang felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and suddenly she felt terrible! She had promised herself she would never marry again, and she had promised herself to live alone for the rest of her life, but in the blink of an eye, her parents had arranged for her to marry someone else.

It's Han Xuewen, the steward she sees every day! How can they work together like this? Gui Xiang locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Steward Han knocked on the door while trying to coax her:

"Gui Xiang! My dear lady! We should get to work! No matter what you think in your heart! Gui Xiang! I have loved you for a long time!"

Gui Xiang wept sadly in the room. It wasn't that Han Xuewen, the steward, was bad, but she was terrified of the feeling of being unable to control her own destiny after marriage.

After crying for a while, Gui Xiang finally stopped being childish and opened the door. Manager Han saw Gui Xiang's swollen eyes and pushed her inside.

Manager Han closed the door and said to Guixiang:

"Guixiang! It's my fault! I shouldn't have agreed to your father-in-law's request without your consent! Guixiang! How did I put you in a difficult position? Tell me, and I'll change. Okay?"

The two men were discussing their marriage in the same room, and Guixiang felt very awkward. Her face flushed red, and she didn't dare to look up. It wasn't that they hadn't discussed things alone in a room before, but when it came to her own marriage, Guixiang was at a loss.

"Gui Xiang! What are you really thinking? You can tell me! Don't you like being with me?"

Gui Xiang shook her head.

"Then can you tell me why you're crying?"

Gui Xiang lowered her head and murmured softly:

"I! I'm afraid I won't be free after I get married! I don't like being locked up at home. I'm afraid..."

Manager Han chuckled softly, coaxing Guixiang as he said:

“Gui Xiang! You are the master, and I am your servant. I will follow you wherever you want to go! Let's continue as we are now, and you will remain free. Okay?”

Gui Xiang suddenly looked up, staring at Steward Han in disbelief.

"You mean, even if I get married, I can still harvest vegetables, sell vegetables, and do business with you?"

After asking her question, Gui Xiang stared intently into Han Xuewen's eyes. Manager Han solemnly promised:

"Don't worry, Guixiang! You are free! After we get married, we'll still be the same as we are now, and we'll discuss everything together!"

Gui Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but then, thinking of her past, she asked nervously:

"Manager Han! You know about my past! I'm a fallen woman, no longer pure!"

Gui Xiang spoke shyly, tears welling up in her eyes again. Han Xuewen gently embraced Gui Xiang:

"I know! I know everything! It's not your fault! It's that beast! It's a good thing he gave you to me, otherwise, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life!"

Gui Xiang, trembling, asked in Steward Han's arms:

"I've heard that men care most about their reputation! I've already lost my virginity, what should I do..."

Manager Han covered Gui Xiang's mouth with his hand and whispered:

"Stop saying such pointless things! And don't belittle yourself! You're great! Gentle, generous, beautiful, and confident Wang Guixiang."

Gui Xiang nodded involuntarily upon hearing this.

"Listen to me, wash your face. We need to go out and harvest and sort the vegetables! With those swollen eyes from crying, don't let anyone say I'm bullying you!"

Gui Xiang was still in a daze when Manager Han smiled and helped her to the stove. He then personally fetched water, and Gui Xiang only realized what had happened when she put her hands in the basin. She immediately felt extremely embarrassed.

Manager Han chuckled as he looked at Gui Xiang, whose face was flushed.

"Gui Xiang! Hurry up and wash your face, my hands are getting sore!"

Gui Xiang feigned annoyance:

"Who told you to carry the basin? Put it on the shelf, I'll wash it myself!"

"Hehe! It's rare for you to serve our young lady, so please do me the honor!"
