Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

Wang Jianzhi entered the hall and spoke with Minister Xie for a while, during which they discussed the details of the marriage.

Emperor Qing'an secretly sent a message to Wang Jianzhi, urging him to marry Miss Lin as soon as possible and start a family.

Although the words sounded nice, they were mixed with Emperor Qing'an's selfish motives. He wanted Chu Yun's marriage to be settled as soon as possible so that he could feel at ease and Yan Jinyu could give up.

Wang Jianzhi worked tirelessly to clear the name of the Wang family, whether by using his identity as the "Young Master of Ink Books" to win over court officials who might help the Wang family and attack the Jiang family, or by secretly guiding the people to willingly submit to the task of writing the book.

He handled everything that Yan Jinyu couldn't do himself, keeping him extremely busy. Furthermore, Yan Jinyu didn't have the habit of casually revealing his personal feelings, so Wang Jianzhi was completely unaware that Yan Jinyu liked Chu Yun.

Now that Yan Jinyu has been kept in the palace by Emperor Qing'an, he has no way of knowing about this private matter between his children.

Knowing that Emperor Qing'an had bestowed a marriage upon him, Wang Jianzhi thought it was compensation from the emperor. Upon hearing that the betrothed was Chu Yun, he was overjoyed but could not tell outsiders.

After seeing off the eunuch who had delivered the imperial decree, Wang Jianzhi and his entourage went to the street to buy clothes, jewelry, and other gifts. Several boxes were filled to the brim, glittering with precious jewels, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

Once everything was ready, he led his men to the Xie residence.

With her future son-in-law arriving, there was no reason for Old Madam Xie not to see him.

After Minister Xie finished speaking with Wang Jianzhi, it was only a short while before a servant came to invite Wang Jianzhi to the Green Pine Hall.

"Nephew, come with me." Minister Xie said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Wang Jianzhi is already a Marquis. Although he is a junior, Minister Xie should respectfully address him as Marquis. However, Wang Jianzhi wanted to leave a good impression on Chu Yun's family, so he repeatedly begged Minister Xie to treat him as a junior and not to be distant.

Minister Xie could not refuse and readily agreed, feeling indescribably satisfied with Wang Jianzhi.

This orphan of the Wang family, although he had become a concubine's son in the Marquis's mansion for more than ten years by a twist of fate, was very considerate in dealing with people, and was also insightful and discerning. He had a natural charm in his every move and had even saved Chu Yun's life. He was truly a good match for her.

Wang Jianzhi was quite capable. Although Minister Xie had been immersed in officialdom for over a decade, there were few people he could gain his approval.

The host was satisfied, and the guest was sensible; for a time, both host and guest were pleased.

"Please, Uncle," Wang Jianzhi said.

The two went to Qingsong Hall together.

When choosing a future son-in-law, in addition to considering his character and family background, his appearance is also an indispensable factor.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Xie family matriarch and her two aunts, Chu Yun's appearance was truly outstanding. Among the noble ladies of similar age in the capital, there was no one more beautiful than her.

Therefore, Wang Jianzhi's appearance must not be ordinary. If she only has well-defined eyebrows and eyes and a conventional appearance, it would be a disservice to their daughter.

With this in mind, the Xie family ladies each held a cup of tea in their hands, but their eyes were all fixed on the door, waiting for Wang Jianzhi to arrive so they could have a good look at him.

As soon as Wang Jianzhi stepped into the room, he was scrutinized by several pairs of eyes.

He entered gracefully, meeting everyone's gaze. He was dressed in a snow-white long robe, with a white jade hair crown on his head. His eyes were clear, and he had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked every bit the elegant young gentleman.

The snow-covered peaks resembled white snow among the pines, possessing a pure and pristine quality, as if they were banished immortals.

Seeing this, Madam Xie and her two aunts felt much relieved.

With such looks and such clear, bright eyes, she could never be someone who is considered low-class.

Madam Xie stood up with a smile, "Young Marquis."

Liang and Lu then got up.

Wang Jianzhi dared not accept her greeting and hurriedly said, "Madam, there's no need for such formalities. It is we who should pay our respects to you."

The group exchanged greetings.

Madam Xie selected some questions to ask Wang Jianzhi, and Wang Jianzhi answered them one by one.

Throughout his speech, he showed great respect for Chu Yun, and mentioned that since he had no elders in his family, he would have to rely on Old Madam Xie and the two ladies of the Xie family for the wedding arrangements. He also said that if Chu Yun had any requests, she could make them to him.

Madam Xie originally wanted to see Wang Jianzhi's attitude towards Chu Yun. Now that she saw how much he valued the marriage, she felt relieved and spoke to Wang Jianzhi more kindly. She developed a good impression of him from the bottom of her heart.

Wang Jianzhi gradually won over the Xie family and gained their trust.

Chu Yun, who had been specially summoned by Madam Xie to wait in the side hall of Qingsong Hall, seemed rather uninterested.

"Sister, that young master Wang is so handsome. Grandma and the others seem to like him very much." Xie Shuyue, with her hair in double buns and wearing a pale yellow dress, ran happily to Chu Yun's side and said.

Taking advantage of her young age, she quietly left the side hall and hid behind the screen between the two halls to listen to the adults talking inside.

Seeing that Wang Jianzhi was handsome and that everyone in the hall got along well, Xie Shuyue was happy for Chu Yun and decided to come and share the good news with her.

She meant well, and she was so cheerful. When Chu Yun saw her bright eyes, the bitterness in her heart eased slightly, and she smiled. "Have some snacks, but don't go out. If your mother sees you, she might punish you by making you copy books."

Xie Shuyue stuck out her tongue. "Okay."

Then she sat down obediently and picked up the snacks on the table to eat in small bites.

Xie Shuya, who was sitting upright to the side, put down her embroidery when she heard Chu Yun say this, and said, "I can tell you're unhappy. Are you dissatisfied with this young master Wang?"

Madam Xie summoned Chu Yun here so that she could have a tacit assessment of Wang Jianzhi.

Ordinary women, when their fiancé comes to their home, and with the help of elders, will always go out to take a look at him, just like Xie Shuyue did, to see his speech and appearance.

Girls like Chu Yun, who are completely uninterested, sitting motionless in their chairs, and who don't care at all about what their future husbands look like or how they talk, are very rare.

Unless she is dissatisfied with her husband and too lazy to even look at him.

Xie Shuya asked this question because she was judging others by her own standards.

Xie Shuya was not as easy to deal with as Xie Shuyue. Chu Yun looked at her and said, "No, Young Master Wang saved my life. I have no complaints about him. It's just that I never thought of marrying him. Now that we are suddenly engaged, I need time to accept it."

Xie Shuya smiled and said, "Now that you say that, I'm relieved. If you don't like him, you'll have a hard time in the future."

It's normal to feel anxious if you can't accept the marriage right away and are reluctant to leave your family. I've been anxious like that too, afraid that I wouldn't be able to cope if I left my parents and relatives and went to another family. But we have to get through this difficult time.

No matter what, the Xie family will always be your support, and you still have us as your relatives. Thinking about it that way, does it make you feel any better?

Xie Shuya thought that Chu Yun was experiencing the fear and reluctance that all new brides have, so she sincerely advised Chu Yun and shared her own experiences. Chu Yun naturally appreciated her words and reached out to hold Xie Shuya's hand.

"I understand, sister. Don't worry."

Xie Shuya patted Chu Yun's hand and nodded slightly, everything understood without words.
