After the eldest lady lost her memory, her exes turned back one after another.

After the meal was over, everyone left the place.

Gu Dingzhi accompanied Mr. Shen after seeing off the guests, and was left to talk about the engagement. After the negotiation was completed, it was time to leave.

"Jia'er, go and deliver it to Dingzhi."

Shen Qingjia was suddenly noticed, and after looking at Gu Dingzhi who was standing tall, he also walked over and escorted him out of the house.

The pace of the two of them was neither slow nor fast, and Shen's house was not small, so there was naturally a long way to go.

"What do you think about the engagement?"

Gu Dingzhi suddenly spoke.

Shen Qingjia thought for a moment and replied, "Just do what they want."

Gu Dingzhi suddenly stopped walking.

Shen Qingjia also stopped and looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

"Shen Qingjia, are you really willing to marry me?"

Gu Dingzhi no longer smiled as gently as usual, and the expression on his face became serious.

Shen Qingjia seemed to see a hint of tangle or something in his eyes, but it disappeared in just a moment.

Shen Qingjia didn't understand, wasn't he what he wanted to get married?Why this attitude now?

"Aren't you willing to marry me?"

Gu Dingzhi laughed: "Of course I want to get married to you."

His smile was as clear as usual, but as he listened, it seemed to be tinged with sadness or compromise.

Shen Qingjia didn't know why, so she didn't ask any more questions. She lowered her eyes and replied to him: "That's good!"

She continued to send him outside the house.

Before Gu Dingzhi left, he stopped Shen Qingjia and asked, "Qingjia, do you like me?"

Shen Qingjia thought for a while and replied: "I have a good impression of you."

Shen Qingjia found it difficult to say whether she liked it or not.

She added: "Everyone in my family likes you, so it should be fine after we get married."

Gu Dingzhi smiled, he smiled wantonly, his eyes were like peach blossoms, shimmering and shining, it was really heart-warming to watch.

If you get along with such a person for a long time, you will naturally grow to like him.

After Gu Dingzhi and Shen Qingjia parted ways, the servant followed him and couldn't help but ask: "Master? Do you really want to marry Miss Shen?"

Gu Dingzhi didn't answer, got on the carriage, and then left Shen's house.

On the way Shen Qingjia returned to the courtyard, Zhou Nan, who had been silent all this time, also asked Shen Qingjia the same question: "Miss, are you...really going to get married?"

Shen Qingjia didn't expect that Zhou Nan would also start to be curious about this question and laughed: "If everything is settled, we will naturally get married."

"Can't we not get married?"

Zhou Nan clenched the sword in her hand, feeling panicked, afraid of hearing the lady's affirmative answer.

Caihuan was very dissatisfied with Zhou Nan and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? You want the lady to marry but you can't marry her?"

Zhou Nan continued to be silent.

Caihuan ran to Shen Qingjia and started to say bad things about Zhou Nan: "Miss, Zhou Nan is stupid. Where are the unmarried girls? Don't you think so?"

Shen Qingjia smiled: "Zhou Nan is still young and doesn't understand this!"

"You're still young at 14?"

Caihuan didn't treat Zhou Nan as a child at all. After all, Caihuan was only two years older than Zhou Nan.

But Shen Qingjia was different. Maybe it was because she had lost her memory for three years. She only felt that Zhou Nan was a kid she picked up to run errands for her.

After Caihuan said this, she looked at Zhou Nan. The child she used to be had grown up gradually, and her figure had become upright. She now had a calm face, and her slightly immature face was much more mature.

Shen Qingjia nodded: "Not too young."

She didn't take Zhou Nan's words seriously, she just thought he said them out of curiosity.

In the dark night, Zhou Nan stared at the girl in front of her with a slight smile.

Zhou Nan just watched like this, lost in her inner thoughts, and there was a voice in her ear saying: Why can't she marry you?

Marry me?
With this thought, a feeling of humility arises in my heart.

The lady is the scorching sun in the sky, and he is just dust on the ground. How can he be worthy of the lady?Any more glance would be a disgrace to the young lady.

Zhou Nan was frantic and conflicted in his heart, but no matter what, he couldn't get rid of that voice or his most primitive thoughts.

He was jealous and disgusted with those who could stand side by side with the young lady. He wanted to be the only one beside the young lady, but he felt that he was not worthy.

He hated his dirty thoughts and was afraid that the lady would notice them.There was a bit of madness in Zhou Nan's serious eyes, but when he raised his head to look at the young lady, he tried his best to suppress it. The veins in the hand holding the sword bulged out, looking a little scary.

……

Fourth Master Wei didn't drink much tonight. He returned to his house with his wife and daughter. In the carriage, they were still talking about Shen Qingjia's engagement.

Shen Minghua was very optimistic about Gu Dingzhi: "I think Gu Dingzhi is very stable and will be a good husband in the future. The marriage with Jia'er is settled."

Fourth Master Wei sighed.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Minghua seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he asked directly: "What's the matter with you? Tell me?"

Fourth Master Wei then told how Wei Yu helped Zhonglexuan get out of trouble.

Shen Minghua said: "Maybe I can help you?"

"This hand went to the capital office? It doesn't make sense! Besides, Wei Yu rarely takes care of things."

"Wei Yu...hey..."

Shen Minghua didn't know what to say. He suddenly remembered something and said, "His marriage to the Cui family has been delayed again and again. Could it be because of this?"

Fourth Master Wei said: "Wei Yu is my uncle's most important child. I will give him a beating someday. Jia'er is about to get engaged now. Tell him not to get into trouble."

"That's all." Shen Minghua said a little puzzled: "I didn't see how they treated Jia'er before, so why are one or two of them now attracted to Jia'er?"

……

Fourth Master Wei acted quickly. The next day, he pretended to have met by chance and started chatting with Wei Yu. They walked all the way to Wei Yu's yard.

Out of courtesy, Wei Yu invited Fourth Master Wei: "Uncle, why don't we go in and have a cup of tea?"

"Okay!"

Fourth Master Wei entered Wei Yu's courtyard. As soon as he drank the tea, Wei Yu asked directly: "Uncle, what's the matter with you?"

Fourth Master Wei stopped beating around the bush and said, "I already know about your help for Jia'er. Thank you very much for this."

Wei Yu raised his eyes and said, "It's just a little effort."

Fourth Master Wei asked again: "What do you think about Jia'er...?"

Between men and women, it is actually a matter of love. Whatever you give, you must get something.

Wei Yu was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Fourth Master Wei and said:

"Don't worry, uncle, I have nothing to ask for from her. She will be fine as long as she is good."

Fourth Master Wei was relieved after receiving his answer.

But seeing Wei Yu like this, I felt a little unbearable.

What happened in the past was that the Shen family could not stand up to Wei Yu, but Wei Yu was able to repay evil with kindness.

Gu Dingzhi is a good husband, so why not Wei Yu?

It's just that they are not destined to be together.

Fourth Master Wei planned to make Wei Yu stop caring about Shen Qingjia so that he could find a better noble girl in the future.

"Wei Yu, Jia'er, it's time to get engaged."

Wei Yu's body froze slightly.

Then he gently put down the tea cup in his hand and asked casually: "Really! That's great. Who is the other person?"

Fourth Master Wei said: "This man is very good. You may have heard of him. He is this year's top scholar in the new subject, Gu Dingzhi."

Wei Yu frowned when he heard this name, and his usually cold face changed again and again.

Seeing him like this, Fourth Master Wei asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Wei Yu said word by word: "He, no!"

Fourth Master Wei was a little confused and asked doubtfully: "Why?"

Wei Yu's expression turned cold and he just said: "Gu Dingzhi, no!"

"What's your problem with him?"

Fourth Master Wei couldn't figure out why his nephew's expression changed drastically when he suddenly heard this name.
It was obviously fine just now.

Wei Yu stood up, bowed his hands to Fourth Master Wei respectfully, and said, "Uncle, I have something else to do, so I can't entertain you anymore."

In this way, Fourth Master Wei couldn't stay any longer and stood up: "Then I'll leave. You..."

Before Fourth Master Wei could finish his words, Wei Yu suddenly left. He didn't know what to do in a hurry. I just hoped that his words hadn't irritated him, right?
