The elderly man who first ca on stage, holding that piece of Blood Jade, walked over to Wang Xiangxiang, "I declare that the winner is this young lady."
After speaking, he handed the Blood Jade over to Wang Xiangxiang.
Wang Xiangxiang held the Blood Jade high, gesturing to Xiaoxiao. They had finally gotten their hands on the Blood Jade, and Xiaoxiao below the stage was also overjoyed. Their trip had not been in vain.
The esteed elder spoke again, "May I ask, young lady, from where do you hail?"
At that mont, Wang Xiangxiang’s rchant illness flared up again. She felt that revealing her identity at this juncture would be an excellent opportunity for their Xiangxiang Cloth Shop, as they were planning to expand into this other county.
So she confidently acknowledged, "I am Wang Xiangxiang, the young lady and shopkeeper of Xiangxiang Cloth Shop from Shanshi County."
The old man nodded in satisfaction. It turned out to be the girl Guo Feng had ntioned. He had not expected her to have such a destined connection with his grandson, and he quite liked her performance today.
He turned around, facing the audience and announced loudly, "Now, I declare that Miss Wang from Shanshi County’s Xiangxiang Cloth Shop will beco my granddaughter-in-law."
Upon hearing those words, Wang Xiangxiang’s eyes widened. What was going on? She looked at the old man, perplexed.
The old man explained, "The Blood Jade is an ancestral treasure of the Han Family, passed down to daughters-in-law through generations. Today’s gathering of all the distinguished young ladies in the city is to compete for the position of daughter-in-law."
At this mont, Wang Xiangxiang was stunned. She had only co to help Xiaoxiao compete for this piece of Blood Jade. She had no idea there was this stipulation.
Wen Nuan saw everything clearly, confirming that Wang Xiangxiang did not understand the aning behind the Blood Jade. This would be interesting to watch, for the young master below must be getting anxious now.
Wang Xiangxiang hurriedly handed over the Blood Jade, "Elderly sir..."
The old man said kindly, "Call Grandfather."
"..." Looking into the old man’s sincere eyes, Wang Xiangxiang could not bear to refuse, "Grandfather, I’m truly sorry, but you should take the Blood Jade back. I co from another county and had no idea of its aning. I only participated because I thought the Blood Jade was beautiful."
"My word is as heavy as nine sacred tripods; how can I just take back what I’ve said?" The old man pushed the Blood Jade back into Wang Xiangxiang’s hand. The Han Family did not arrange such a grand event just for fun.
Wang Xiangxiang was now so anxious that she felt like crying. She couldn’t possibly agree to this marriage arrangent. Even in the past, she would not have agreed; she would not rashly consent to the marriage of soone she hadn’t even t.
The old man continued, "My grandson is a handso and talented man. You’re sure to like him once you et." He then shouted to soone nearby, "Go, bring the young master here."
"There’s no need to call for , Grandfather, I am here," Han Yongsheng interrupted. Then he walked onto the stage and smiled faintly, "Miss Wang, we et again."
"You know each other?" Han Yongsheng’s grandfather asked in surprise. Seeing that his grandson had co forth, it ant he consented to the marriage, so he must help his grandson.
"Yes," Han Yongsheng nodded.
Wang Xiangxiang never anticipated such a turn of events. She was so astonished that she found herself at a loss for words, for there was an indescribable and unclear relationship between them.
Seeing Wang Xiangxiang’s expression, Han Yongsheng continued, "Miss Wang, don’t you think this is fate, destiny?"
"..." Was he agreeing to marry her? Could it truly be destiny that had him save her? Was it fate that brought them together?
