The engagement was burned like this, and I didn't know if it could still be counted. Bai Yixing stared at Grandma Qi, who ignored him and was hunched over adding firewood to the stove. He was so angry that he almost cursed her.

But on second thought, how could I blame this blind and deaf old man for this? Who told me to refuse to go to the Ling family to propose marriage? Now that things have come to this, there is no other way.

He was in great anxiety and had no choice but to go to his mother Dai's room with the half-burned engagement contract.

When Dai saw it, he asked, "Yixing, why are you still holding this thing? Why don't you burn it? It will make you upset when you see it!"

Bai Yixing said: "Mother, Ling Shuxue is not ugly, I just heard nonsense from others. I want to marry her and revitalize our Bai family!"

Dai was stunned and asked, "Didn't you say she had fish spots on her face? How come she's not ugly anymore?"

Bai Yixing had no choice but to confess that he had also heard other people say that he thought Ling Shuxue was ugly.

Dai asked again: "Then how do you know he is not ugly?"

Bai Yixing was hesitant, so he told his mother that he had met Ling Shuxue in the ancestral temple not long ago and had seen her with his own eyes.

Dai still had some doubts. Bai Yixing patted his chest and said that the woman was definitely Ling Shuxue. Only that appearance was worthy of the name, and only the name matched that person's godly appearance.

Dai finally became happy and murmured, "That's good, that's good. As long as my son is willing to get back on the right track, there will be hope for the Bai family to revive..."

Like the Cangmu Kingdom, the Baixue Kingdom uses the two poles of heaven and earth plus the five-phase era of "Yin Taiyuan Huangcheng", and the ten heavenly stems of Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui plus numbers from one to one hundred to record years.

This year was the thirteenth year of the Tiancheng era.

Bai Yixing had turned twenty ten months ago, and Ling Shuxue had also been an adult for nearly a year.

According to the agreement in the blood marriage contract, the Bai family should have proposed to the Ling family last year. But last year, Bai Yixing's father, Bai Yuzhong, died in an accident. There were many things to deal with, and the cost of revenge was huge, so Bai Yixing's marriage was delayed.

Fortunately, the Ling family did not come to urge them, which made the Dai family feel that they were very sensible and would not create problems for the Bai family at this critical juncture.

But after listening to Bai Yixing's words a few days ago, he realized that the main reason why the Ling family didn't come to urge them was that they looked down on their Bai family. If it weren't for the blood marriage contract, they would have sent someone to tell their third daughter that she would not marry.

Dai was also very unhappy, and after much thought, she decided to burn the engagement. Unexpectedly, this bastard son came back and said he wanted to marry Ling Shuxue, which caught people off guard.

Fortunately, the blood-written marriage contract was not completely burned, and the signatures and bloody handprints of Bai Yuzhong and Ling Jiuhua were still there. This kind of contract written in blood is included in the law in the Snow Country. Both parties hold a copy, and as long as one party takes it out, the other party cannot regret it.

Unless both parties believe that the contract is invalid, or the party that wants to perform the contract cannot produce the contract.

Since the blood-lettered marriage contract was still in place, and Bai Yixing had taken the initiative to propose marriage, at this good time of spring when the weather was not too cold, Dai began to make arrangements for her son's marriage proposal.

Bai Yixing seemed to have become a different person. Not only did he no longer go out and shout at other playboys, he also no longer took Hu Yong and other servants out of the city to do time-wasting entertainment. Instead, he helped his mother take care of household affairs.

When he thought of Ling Shuxue's beautiful face, he became very excited. He thought to himself, those guys all said that the top girl in Lihongyuan was beautiful, but I don't think she can compare to even one finger of Sister Shuxue.

These days, he had sweet dreams every night, and the tasteless water that usually tasted bland became sweet.

Seeing that her beloved son no longer went out to play, Dai was both happy and sad. She was happy because her son had changed so much, but sad because her husband Bai Yuzhong could no longer see this.

Although the Bai family has fallen on hard times, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. They are still much wealthier than ordinary people and are still considered one of the richest families in Ice City.

Moreover, there are many things left by the ancestors. There are seven or eight large mansions in a row, not to mention the many jewels and rare stones stored in the house.

The Ling family was a rising star, and in recent years, they had become one of the most powerful families in Bingcheng. They were not only rich, but also powerful. In order to make the marriage proposal for the second son decent, Dai simply sold a house and got more than 7,000 gold.

She used the money to prepare for her son fifty rolls of Zaolu silk cloth, fifty rolls of Qingli flower cloth, fifty rolls of Hexi silk cloth, fifty rolls of Jinyang silk cloth, five pounds each of the nine golds: gold, platinum, black gold, copper oil gold, spotted gold, fish eye gold, and animal belly gold, two thousand-year-old snow mountain ginsengs, twenty hundred-year-old snow mountain ginsengs, a jade-carved and gilded treasure carriage, two snow-white horses with black legs... In addition, there were many precious medicinal materials, food ingredients, jewelry, toys, etc.

A large part of them were from the long-distance Cangmu Country. After being sold to the Snow Country, the price increased several times, making them even more precious and sincere.

Things were almost ready, Bai Yixing became more anxious, and asked his mother almost every day when he could go to the Ling family to propose marriage. At this time, he no longer had any grudges against Ling Jiuhua's attitude towards him at his father's funeral, thinking that he was indeed too lazy before, and it was normal for his father-in-law to dislike him.

The people of Snow Country are not like the people of Cangmu Country. They like to choose dates for big and small events, and there is no such thing as auspicious days. Dai said that they should choose a more suitable day to go there, so that the Ling family will not feel that the Bai family is too abrupt.

Bai Yixing had no choice but to suppress his anxious mood.

After about seven or eight days, Dai finally waved to Bai Yixing and said, "Yixing, come here."

Bai Yixing walked to his mother's side happily, thinking that he could finally propose to the Ling family.

But Dai said, "The day after tomorrow would be the most appropriate date. Ask someone to deliver the marriage proposal letter today." Then she took out a gift letter that had been written long ago and handed it to Bai Yixing.

Bai Yixing was very depressed when he learned that he had to wait for three more days. However, apart from knowing which restaurant had the best food, which theater had the most interesting colored balls, and which incense house had the most beautiful geisha, he knew nothing about these social practices and had to obey his mother's arrangements in everything.

He called Hu Yong over and told him to go to the Ling family to deliver the gift letter. He also said that although the Ling family was a wealthy family, the Bai family was no worse than them and that they must not lose face, and told him to ride his Baoxue horse over.

Dai was very happy to see Bai Yixing suddenly become so sensible. Her precious son had finally grown up.

Hu Yong took the gift letter and said, "Master, rest assured, I will do everything for you properly. Not only will I not embarrass you, but I will also make sure that the Ling family will come to urge you to propose marriage!"

Bai Yixing laughed out loud.

Hu Yong went there in a hurry.
