Chapter 26
Yan Li was amazed at her boldness and directness.

Nowadays, women are required to obey their father at home and obey their husband when they get married. Based on the "Rules for Women" and "Training for Women", women are required to abide by female virtues.Her remarks completely run counter to female virtues, which can be described as shocking.

Seeing Yan Li's expression changed, Qi Tanying understood very well that a person like him is more suitable for a well-behaved wife. Obviously, she is not such a person.

Therefore, Qi Tanying, he'd better give up the idea of ​​marrying her.

Unexpectedly, Yan Li suddenly smiled and praised: "Miss Qi is really different."

Qi Tanying looked up at him.

I heard him continue to say, "Although the girl's point of view is very rare, I think it is very reasonable."

This time it was Qi Tanying's turn to be surprised.

"When I was young, I made a vow that if I didn't find a wife who fits my heart in this life, I would never marry for the rest of my life."

He spread his hands helplessly, "Young lady also saw that I am over the age but have not married yet, and I have been waiting for the right person to show up."

Qi Tanying naturally didn't believe it, if that was the case, then what happened to his concubine?

Yan Li saw her suspicion, and when she was about to explain, Qi Yukun dismissed get out of class.

Yan Li suppressed her smile, and walked towards him with a straight face, Qi Tanying was afraid that he would scare her younger brother, so she followed quickly.

After hearing about Yan Li's intentions, Qi Yukun took them to his residence.

Yan Li and his two subordinates searched carefully the two boxes that Qi Yukun brought back to the academy yesterday, even the items brought before yesterday, but they still found nothing.

Danfeng Academy has a rule that relatives of students are not allowed to visit relatives for more than one hour, and they must go down the mountain immediately after visiting relatives.Unable to stay in the academy for a long time, Yan Li had no choice but to take Qi Tanying and his subordinates back to the capital.

On the way back, Yan Li frowned in thought, imagining if he were Qi Heming, where would he hide the account book?
Will it be kept by someone else?

But the informant said that after taking the account book, he did not go to see anyone, but went directly to the Tangshan Palace, and returned home a few days later.

They searched the Qi family's house and made sure there was nothing missing; they also searched carefully the things that the Qi family's mother and son brought out from the Jiang family, and there was no clue.

Yan Li thought hard for a while, but still had no clue.

He glanced at Qi Tanying's carriage. For some reason, he always had an intuition that if he wanted to find the ledger, he had to start with the Qi family.

The next day, Qi Tanying and her mother were sorting things out in Qi's house, and Mrs. Jiang sent someone to tell them to go back home immediately.

It was only after returning home that Yan Li actually brought a matchmaker to the door to propose marriage.

Maybe he was afraid that Mrs. Qi and Qi Tanying would not see him, so he asked Mrs. Jiang directly.

Mrs. Jiang was very polite to Yan Li, who might become a niece and son-in-law. Since the eldest son was not there, she had to go to the third room to invite the third master Jiang and Jiang Zhenyu and his son to accompany the guests.

Upon hearing the news, Qi Tanying was really shocked, angry and helpless.Obviously, she had already made it very clear to him that she would never marry him.

She thought that the last conversation ended rather hastily, and she must make it clear to him this time.

Unexpectedly, she waited for a long time in the guest house, but Mrs. Jiang sent someone to call her, so she asked Ting Lan to go out and inquire.

Ting Lan came back soon, with panic still on her face.

"Girl, it's not good, Master Sanbiao beat Master Yan."

Qi Tanying thought she heard it wrong, Ting Lan said again: "I heard that Master Sanbiao beat Master Yan until his nose was blue and eyes were swollen, and he also yelled that Master Yan was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, and that the girl would die in Jiang's house even if she died of old age. I will not marry Master Yan."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying's face darkened: "It's just nonsense."

Ting Lan anxiously asked: "What can I do, girl?"

People in Jiang's family talk a lot, and if the young master Sanbiao makes such a big noise, it will definitely affect the reputation of his daughter.

Qi Tanying stood up abruptly, "Let's go to Youpengtang."

When Qi Tanying came to Youpengtang in a hurry, the government doctor was treating Yan Li's wound, and the third master Jiang was apologizing, and the culprit, Jiang Zhenyu, knelt on the ground in embarrassment.

Seeing her coming, Yan Li looked over with a face that was bruised and swollen, and Qi Tanying suddenly couldn't walk.

But at this time Jiang Zhenyu still didn't forget to shout: "Cousin Qi, you must not agree to his marriage proposal, he is not a good bird."

"Shut up for me!" Master Jiang San yelled loudly with a livid face.

After yelling, he put on an embarrassing expression and said to Qi Tanying and Yan: "Master Yan, A Tan, this evil person is stupefied, please don't take his nonsense to heart."

After finishing speaking, he kicked Jiang Zhenyu hard.

At this time Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Qi and the matchmaker also came. After seeing Yan Li's miserable appearance, Mrs. Jiang was dizzy with anger, and severely scolded Mr. Jiang and his son.

Mrs. Qi was very angry at Yan Li's entanglement behavior, but after seeing him get a fat beating, she couldn't say anything more.

The atmosphere in Youpengtang was very embarrassing, Mrs. Jiang apologized to Yan Li on behalf of Jiang Zhenyu, but Yan Li said she didn't mind, "The third son is young and impulsive, but he has the heart of a nurse in Chicheng."

After speaking, he got up and bowed his hands to Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Jiang: "I came to propose marriage without the consent of the elders, and I was rude first."

Mrs. Qi snorted and said nothing.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "Not abrupt, not abrupt."

The matchmaker had already told them before that the concubine was not serving in Yan Li's room, and only stayed in his own room on weekdays.

If Mrs. Qi is willing to marry her daughter to the Yan family, Yan Li and Mrs. Yan will not let her come in front of Qi Tanying.

Mrs. Qi did not respond immediately, but said that she would give the Yan family an answer after thinking about it for a few days.

But Mrs. Jiang felt that this was feasible. She asked her son to find out about Yan Li's character. He was a man of his word. Since the Yan family made such a promise, they would not break their word.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang treating her kindly, Yan Li took the opportunity to make a request, "Madam please allow me to have a few words with Miss Qi alone."

"You're really shameless, you." These words made Jiang Zhenyu couldn't help but curse again.Master Jiang San kicked him again and warned: "Shut up!"

Mrs. Jiang glanced at Jiang Zhenyu unexpectedly, and then said to Qi Tan: "A Tan, let's go."

Qi Tanying looked at her mother, Mrs. Qi, who did not object.

The two went to the gazebo in the garden next to Youpeng Hall, and Ting Lan stood guard not far away.

Qi Tanying's face was full of displeasure, "Yesterday I clearly rejected Lord Yan, why did Lord Yan come to propose marriage today?"

After the questioning, without waiting for Yan Li's answer, he continued: "If it's about the case, Lord Yan can summon it at any time, and you don't have to pay for your life."

Yan was at a loss for words, he called her out, in addition to asking for clues about the ledger, he also wanted to personally apologize to her.

It was obvious that she didn't want to bother with herself.
