I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 254 Pei Zhijin proposes marriage.

Jiang Xue hated the look in Li Lingxuan's eyes the most. He regarded everyone as his own property. Such a person was mentally abnormal, so she said without hesitation: "My Lord, I won't bother you about what happened a few days ago. If I did something before that caused you to misunderstand, we are even now. From now on, don't hold me against you anymore."

"Humph." Li Lingxuan lowered the car curtain with a sneer and said in an unhappy voice, "Let's go."

Then Mu Qi quickly retracted his sword and walked over.

The two watched the carriage slowly driving away. Jiang Xue lowered her eyes. She always had a feeling that King Cheng had bad intentions.

"Are you okay?" Pei Zhijin asked Jiang Xue softly.

Jiang Xue raised her eyes and looked at Pei Zhijin, and said unexpectedly: "Why are you here?"

"There's nothing going on over there for now, so I came here because I wanted to see you soon."

Jiang Xue's eyebrows curved when she heard this, and then she jokingly said, "Why, Master Pei is so dependent on me now?"

Because they were on the street, Pei Zhijin did not do anything beyond the rules. He just smiled and said, "Let's go to Jiang's house."

"Are you going too?"

"No?" Pei Zhijin asked back.

Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "Okay, but my father doesn't know that we are together yet. If you suddenly go to the Jiang Mansion, I'm afraid my father will..."

"You don't need to worry about this. Uncle should be happy to see me."

"Ah?" Jiang Xue asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"You'll know when you get back." Pei Zhijin said this ambiguously and walked straight forward.

Jiang Xue hurriedly caught up, and along the way she thought a lot about how Pei Zhijin made her father like him. But when she arrived at the gate of Jiang's house, Jiang Xue was dumbfounded.

There were several carriages parked outside the mansion, and all the things on the carriages had been moved in. Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and asked in confusion, "Are you transporting a few carriages of gold to throw at my father?"

Pei Zhijin lowered his head and laughed, and said softly: "Go in and take a look?"

"Just take a look." After saying that, Jiang Xue quickly walked up the stairs and went in.

There were several boxes in the yard, half of which were filled with silver, money and jewelry. The most eye-catching were the two wild geese placed on the top box.

Jiang Xue was dumbfounded. What was Pei Zhijin doing?

A hearty laughter was heard from the hall. Jiang Xue walked in quickly out of curiosity, only to see that the hall was also filled with gifts. The housekeeper was standing behind Jiang Jian with a smile on his face, and Aunt Zheng was also amused. Although Jiang Jian did not laugh, his expression was still gentle.

The person standing there and talking was wearing a brightly colored dress and was gesticulating about something. She had a plump figure and her voice was very loud.

"Father!" Jiang Xue said.

Jiang Jian looked over and stood up from his chair excitedly. Aunt Zheng immediately stood up and supported Jiang Jian, saying with a shrug, "You're just getting up. Don't get up so quickly."

Jiang Jian ignored Aunt Zheng's muttering and quickly walked towards Jiang Xue. Jiang Xue quickly ran towards Jiang Jian and said with a smile, "Dad, I'm back."

Jiang Jian said with relief: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Aunt Zheng's eyes were red with excitement. She looked at Jiang Xue and said, "Xue'er, I'm so glad you're okay. Aunt and your father were so worried."

"I'm fine, I made you worry."

"As long as everyone is okay." Jiang Jian said softly.

Jiang Xue put her hand on Jiang Jian's wrist and felt his pulse, then raised the corners of her mouth. It seemed that her father's leg was completely healed.

Matchmaker Liu looked at Jiang Xue and asked curiously, "Master, is this your daughter? Oh, she is so pretty, so cute. No wonder our masters are so anxious."

"What adult?" Jiang Xue asked Liu the matchmaker.

Matchmaker Liu smiled and said "Oh!" and began to introduce herself: "I am Matchmaker Liu, and I am here to propose marriage on behalf of Mr. Pei."

"Propose marriage?" Jiang Xue shouted in surprise.

"Yes." Matchmaker Liu gently waved the handkerchief in her hand, then looked at the gift next to her and said, "Look how thoughtful Lord Pei is. Isn't this a very thoughtful gesture?"

Jiang Xue looked around and her heart suddenly started beating faster. She didn't expect Pei Zhijin to come and propose marriage so soon. Then she turned around and looked outside the door, but did not see Pei Zhijin.

Jiang Jian said with some concern: "Xue'er, I know that Lord Pei has imprisoned you in the imperial prison before, but Lord Pei is definitely not what you think. He enforces the law impartially and has an upright heart. He is a good candidate. You see..."

Jiang Xue suddenly lowered her head shyly and said, "Everything is up to my father."

Jiang Jian didn't realize what Jiang Xue meant. When he wanted to open his mouth to confirm, Aunt Zheng understood what Jiang Xue meant and pulled Jiang Jian aside and said, "Hey, Master, you still don't understand what Xue'er means?"

"What do you mean?"

Aunt Zheng glared at Jiang Jian, then looked at Jiang Xue and said with a smile, "Xue'er, don't worry, Aunt will definitely keep a close eye on you and make this marriage a beautiful one."

"Thank you, Auntie."

After hearing this, Matchmaker Liu clapped her hands and cheered, saying, "I knew it would work. Lord Pei is handsome and graceful, and he and Miss Jiang are simply a match made in heaven. They couldn't be more matched."

Jiang Xue's face flushed when she heard this, and she said to Jiang Jian, "Father, you guys chat first, I'm going out." Then she ran out quickly.

"Look, Miss Jiang is still shy." Matchmaker Liu smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and then took out the engagement letter from her bosom and said, "Master, don't worry, Master Pei said that three letters and six ceremonies, a formal marriage, a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe, a sedan chair carried by eight people, and a ten-mile red dowry, will definitely give Miss Jiang the most complete etiquette."

Jiang Jian smiled and nodded. His daughter had already agreed, so why should he hesitate? Besides, he knew Pei Zhijin's character. He was upright, fearless of power, and highly respected. If Xue'er married him, he would definitely protect his daughter.

Aunt Zheng took the engagement letter and read it happily, then looked at Matchmaker Liu and said, "All this is easy to say. I wonder what the situation is like at Master Pei's house?"

Matchmaker Liu sighed and said, "Madam, you know that the Pei family has been loyal for generations and sacrificed their lives for the country. Now only Master Pei is left in the Pei family. But don't worry. If Miss Jiang marries him, she won't have the troubles of those sisters-in-law."

Aunt Zheng frowned and looked at Jiang Jian and asked, "Master Pei has no relatives at all?"

Jiang Jian nodded, then looked at Matchmaker Liu and said, "We have accepted the betrothal gifts. Go back and tell Lord Pei that the second of the six ceremonies is to match the horoscopes at the Fahua Temple."

"Okay, I'll go back and tell Master Pei the good news."

Matchmaker Liu walked out of Jiang Mansion happily. Pei Zhijin and Jiang Xue were standing not far away and watching Liu Matchmaker's expression, and they knew that General Jiang had already agreed.

Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Are you happy, Master Pei?"

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue and nodded, "Of course I'm happy. If I could marry you tomorrow, I would be so happy that I would die."

"Master Pei, are you trying to trick me into your hands with nothing?"

"How could it be?" Pei Zhijin said as he took a step back. Then he became serious, bowed slightly, and said affectionately: "You and I first met in front of Jingma. Our love began in Anzhou. We are a perfect match, like a pair of lovebirds. We are in love with each other, as brilliant as the sun and the moon. Our love is deep and profound, and it is as turbulent as the waves. Are you willing to be friends with me, share the same heart and mind, respect each other, and grow old together?"
