An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into
Chapter 648: Two Marriage Proposals
At this time, the letter from Jing Yi in Jing Changning's hand was also handed to his father.
Jing Yi's letter began with his tragic life story, and he also expressed his gratitude to the Jing family. He said that he had wanted to be a descendant of the Jing family all his life, but he did not expect such an accident to happen.
He described in detail how he learned the truth. The twists and turns of his experience made him write densely on the paper. There was a complex emotion between the lines, including helplessness about his past life experience, but also a sense of relief that the clouds had cleared and the sky was blue.
He also wrote that he had already acknowledged Prince Jing as his biological father and had also met his only legitimate brother. He wrote that both Prince Jing and his elder brother were very kind to him, making him feel the long-lost family affection. However, he also explained why he had acknowledged his biological father but could not officially return to Prince Jing's mansion for the time being.
It just so happened that he also needed time to adapt to this new identity.
The remaining three pieces of letter paper contain the key points.
The first one described his initial encounter with Jing Qiurong after arriving at Qingshan Villa and his feelings. He recalled the first time he saw Jing Qiurong, she was wearing a plain dress, standing in the yard, smiling slightly. That smile was like the warm spring sun, instantly warming his heart.
He then recounted how he slowly fell in love with Jing Qiurong, expressing his desire to marry her to the old lady and general, and stating that he would marry no one but her. He wrote that Jing Qiurong's gentleness, kindness, and tenacity had deeply attracted him, and he believed that she was the one with whom he could spend his life.
The second photo depicts his interactions with his two children, Jing Chunxi and Jing Qingpu. He describes Jing Chunxi's hard work and resilience, and Jing Qingpu's understanding, well-behaved nature, and diligent study. He specifically states that he will bring the two children back to Prince Jing's mansion and raise them as his own, promising to give Jing Qingpu the title of eldest son.
He wrote that he loved the two children very much and they were like his own children. He would take good care of them, let them live a happy life in Prince Jing's Mansion, and would also plan for their future.
The third piece of paper was not letter paper, but a large piece of red paper cut to the same size as the letter paper. It had the words "marriage certificate" written on it at the top, and those two words were written in an especially eye-catching manner, as if announcing something important.
The content of the marriage certificate is solemn and sincere.
婚书
With my sincere heart, I write this in front of you, Mr. Jing:
I have heard that Miss Qiurong of the Jingfu is from a distinguished family, virtuous and beautiful, with a kind and elegant heart, and four virtues that are well-known. Xu Dingchun, although not very talented and well-educated, has long admired the young lady's virtuous manners and thinks of her day and night, never forgetting her.
Now, Xumen Dingchun, following the teachings of our ancestors and with a respectful heart, dares to use the matchmaker as a guarantee and the six rituals as a promise to sincerely propose to Miss Qiurong as my wife. I wish to spend the rest of my life in harmony with her and to enjoy the joy of her life together with my sincere heart.
If the elders of the Jing Mansion grant your approval, Ding Chun will do his utmost to show respect and cherish this relationship, so that the boudoir will be harmonious and the family will prosper. In this life, we will treat each other with respect and live up to our oath.
谨呈
Xumen Dingchun bows his head and bows again
May 11, the 27th year of Daqing.
……
At this time, the old lady was also staring blankly at the other marriage proposal in her hand. The two marriage proposals were in different handwritings, and both proposed to marry her daughter Jing Qiurong, who was divorced and had two children.
One was seeking to marry her as his legitimate wife, the other as his own daughter-in-law. The betrothal gifts were comparable to those given to royal brides, but in two parts.
Her hand holding the marriage certificate trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of complicated emotions.
If the Jing family had not been convicted and exiled, their daughter would still be an unmarried woman and would be a good match for the second son of the prince's mansion.
But, but, the old lady looked at the old general who was also staring at her but said nothing.
She couldn't understand why Jing Yi, who was unmarried and had royal status, would fall for a woman who was considered an outcast by the world.
Moreover, how did he convince Prince Jing and Princess Jing to not despise her and to marry her sincerely?
The old general's face was also full of confusion. He looked at the old lady, his eyes seemed to be asking something, but he didn't know how to start.
"Sister Xi, go eat first! By the way, ask Nanny Wang to arrange for some simple meals to be sent in." Jing Changning saw that his parents were still in a daze. Although they looked happy, they couldn't make a decision.
He spoke softly, a hint of tenderness in his voice. He knew he needed to give his parents some time to digest the news. So, he had to send his half-understood niece away.
Jing Chunxi raised his head with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but nodded and said, "Okay." But he didn't stand up.
"Go!" Jing Changjiang also forced an auntie smile at Jing Chunxi and waved his hand to let her go out.
Judging from my niece’s reply just now, she seems to have no idea what her master is thinking, let alone the content of the letter.
He was still worried about how a child, unprepared for the situation, would react if they knew their mother might get married. There were some things they needed to discuss, so it was best to avoid the child.
Both uncles kicked people out. Although Jing Chunxi was reluctant, he could feel the different atmosphere in the room.
She jumped off the chair and said, "Then I'm leaving!" She pretended to straighten her dress, then looked at her grandmother beside her and said, "Sister Xi is leaving?"
Unexpectedly, the old lady did not try to keep her, but instead said to her, "Eat more."
Jing Chunxi walked towards the backyard in a sullen voice. She still couldn't understand why the elders avoided talking to her. After reading the letter, several of them smiled, and it made her feel a little relieved.
"Damn Master!"
After thinking about it, she was still a little annoyed with Jing Yi. She couldn't help but curse. If there was something wrong, couldn't she just tell her clearly? Why did she have to write a letter to avoid her? It was really unnecessary.
"Who do you trust?" she muttered, feeling aggrieved and confused. She kicked a small stone in the backyard, which rolled several times on the ground before finally landing under an old locust tree.
"Let mother know what will happen to you." She said angrily, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
