Chapter 2094: Chapter 2094: Marriage Proposal (Part 2)
“Alright.” Madam Xie really picked up the bowl and took a sip.
Wang Hehua’s impression of Madam Xie improved significantly; she had been worried earlier that soone might be picky, but it turned out Madam Xie wasn’t at all disdainful of the farrs: “I wonder what brings you here today, madam?”
Li Xiang’s heart suddenly trembled as a mysterious feeling surged within her, unexplainable, as if sothing was clutching and pinching at her.
“Hehe.” Madam Xie laughed and then signaled to the accompanying maids.
The two maids quickly stepped forward, placing two boxes they were holding onto the table.
“This…”
“Betrothal gifts.” Madam Xie gestured for the maids to open them, “It was too rushed, so the preparations are insufficient, but I’ll supplent them later.”
Li Xiang’s eyes nearly popped out.
“Wait a minute.” Wang Hehua quickly raised her hand to stop Madam Xie from continuing, “Madam, what does this an?”
“Hehua sister, haven’t you figured it out yet? I’m personally here to propose a marriage for my son.” Madam Xie smiled, “Of course, if you think I’m not suitable for this role, then tomorrow I’ll find an official matchmaker.”
“No, what I an is, how could Master Xie fancy my Xiaoxiang?”
“You’re mistaken, Xiaoxiang is beautiful and has a good character, why wouldn’t my silly son like her?”
Wang Hehua’s mouth twitched, this old madam truly was interesting.
“Xiaoxiang.” Madam Xie stood up, went over, and pulled Li Xiang’s hand up; then, in one swift move, put the bracelet onto her wrist, “This is the token Atai gave you, once you accept it, you can’t go back on your word.”
“Madam, I…”
“It’s settled then.” Madam Xie left no ti or reason for her to refuse, abruptly turning around and heading out, “I’ll go back to prepare for the marriage…”
“Hey…” Wang Hehua snapped back to reality, stood up to follow, but Madam Xie was already swiftly out of the courtyard door, and by the ti she chased her outside, she was long gone, her quick pace rivaling that of a martial arts expert.
Li Xiang stared blankly at the bracelet on her wrist; it was the one Xie Tai had given her before. She once secretly wore it, and it fit perfectly.
To her surprise, it ca back to her now.
Does this an what Madam Xie ant earlier is also that man’s intention?
Does he like her, after all?
“Xiaoxiang, what’s going on?” Wang Hehua already returned, glancing at the two boxes: one contained a set of Gold Inlaid Jade head ornants, and the other contained ten Silver Ingots, exactly one hundred taels.
“I…” Li Xiang was montarily at a loss for how to explain.
“Speak up.”
Li Xiang had no choice but to recount what had happened with Xie Tai before, although she omitted the part where he had given her the bracelet, as that was quite personal; she could tell Yang Ruxin but not her parents.
“Xiaoxiang, please tell , do you like him too?” Wang Hehua sighed.
Li Xiang bit her lip and then nodded.
“But our family background differs so much from theirs.” Wang Hehua sighed.
“I know, but I want to give it a try.” Li Xiang suddenly looked up, “Xie Tai is a friend of Xinxin and Young Master Guo, soone they acknowledge, his character must not be bad.”
