When Du Mingxian arrived, Wang Qi and his butler were already waiting at the door of the Wang family's residence.
Seeing this, Du Mingxian thought to herself, "There's no need for this."
"Sister, sister, you've finally arrived!" Wang Qi ran up to Du Mingxian, grinning like a sycophant, he was so happy.
Butler Wang knew that Du Mingxian was a distinguished guest to the Wang family, but seeing Wang Qi like this, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. When did this spoiled brat in the family become so good at flattering someone?
"Let's go, is your uncle here?"
"Yes, yes, yes. If you want to come over, my father will have to wait at home no matter what the most important thing is."
Wang Qi fawned over her and led the way, saying, "Come on, sis, I'll show you around."
Du Mingxian wanted to say that she had turned around, but... she suddenly remembered that when she came here before, Wang Qi was staying at the Ling family's house.
Wang's father was waiting in the main hall. When he saw Du Mingxian come over and then saw the smile on Wang Qi's face, he instantly felt that it was good that there was someone in the world who could control this unfilial son.
“Daughter, Wang Qi has told me about your matter. I can temporarily spare two people for you. If that’s not enough, wait a little longer and I’ll have my men train the others properly. We’ll definitely be able to get a few more out of trouble.”
"Two are enough, Uncle. Thank you, Uncle."
She was too embarrassed to speak up, but she didn't expect her father to be so direct. He hadn't even sat down yet when the matter was already over. Was she supposed to sit down now?
"Sit down. Butler, bring up all the good food in the mansion."
"Yes." The butler withdrew.
Mr. Wang was very welcoming. "Please sit down."
"Thank you uncle."
The two sat down, and Mr. Wang looked at Du Mingxian very seriously, "Daughter, I won't beat around the bush with you. You've taken good care of our Wang Qi, and he calls you 'sister.' Why don't you just become my Wang family's daughter? Your uncle doesn't have a daughter yet."
Du Mingxian was shocked; she had no idea such a thing could happen.
The Wang family is the richest family in the area, and the richest man even wants to recognize her as his goddaughter.
Is this just pure luck?
"Okay."
It would be foolish not to acknowledge a godparent family like the Wangs.
Regardless of her good relationship with Wang Qi, who always called her "sister," her relationship with the Wang family was far more than just ordinary.
"Hahaha, good, good, I'm going to throw a big banquet!" Father Wang stood up and laughed heartily.
“Uncle, there’s no need for a big banquet. Just have a meal together as family and relatives, and that will be fine.”
Seeing that Du Mingxian didn't want to make a fuss, Wang's father immediately agreed, "Okay, don't worry about the manager. I'll take the manager directly to you. Your older brother is away on patrol recently and will be back in a few days. We'll go find you then."
"it is good."
After finishing his words, Wang's father had other urgent business to attend to, so he left first, instructing his servants to take good care of Du Mingxian. He repeated these instructions several times before finally departing.
Wang Qi sat there staring blankly at Du Mingxian until his father left, at which point he said, "Good heavens, my father really has a good plan. He actually recognized my sister as his goddaughter. This is a sure way to tie the two families together."
Du Mingxian chuckled, "You live in the Ling family and keep calling me 'sister.' Aren't our two families already bound together? Whether we acknowledge each other as godparents or not, it doesn't really matter. Besides, the fact that Uncle brought it up shows he thinks highly of me."
"Sister, please don't agree to my dad's request just because of me. Don't be fooled by his gentle appearance; he's actually quite difficult to get along with."
Du Mingxian looked at Wang Qi as if he were an idiot. "Are you going to call me 'sister' or not? Wouldn't it be fine if I were your sworn sister? Or do you not want me to be your sister?"
"No, no, no, I'm willing." Wang Qi was overjoyed. "I'm very happy, but I feel that you agreed too readily, which made my dad too happy, so I'm not so happy."
Du Mingxian was speechless.
Having accomplished her mission, Du Mingxian had no intention of staying any longer. The next day, she left with Wang Qi in two carriages, each filled with gifts prepared by the Wang family, including those for everyone in the household, including Granny Zhao.
Du Mingxian felt that the Wang family genuinely wanted to befriend her.
The two returned to the village. Before Du Mingxian even entered the village, she saw a large crowd gathered in front of the Ling family's house. Her heart skipped a beat. Were they here to cause trouble again?
In a flash, she was already thinking about who was causing trouble. They must be asking for trouble, thinking that the Ling family was easy to bully.
The carriage slowly approached, and Du Mingxian strained her ears to listen, but after a long time she heard nothing. It shouldn't be an argument. Just as she was about to jump down to check, the villagers saw her and said, "Fourth brother's wife is back."
The villagers immediately made way for her, and Du Mingxian noticed that their expressions didn't seem like they were just watching a commotion. She asked, "What's going on?"
"Someone has proposed marriage to your younger sister."
Du Mingxian frowned. "Then why are you all standing here?"
"You'll know when you go in and take a look."
Du Mingxian jumped down from the carriage and quickly entered the courtyard, where she saw... several people. One or two of them were quite handsome, their clothes unpatched, but their faces resembled each other; they were clearly brothers.
Before she even entered the house, Madam Zhou came out and, upon seeing Du Mingxian, her eyes lit up with an alarming gleam. "Mingxian, come here quickly!"
"what happened?"
"Someone has come to propose marriage to my younger sister. Don't you know? Do you see these people in the courtyard?"
"Why are there so many people here for the marriage proposal, and... all the brothers are here?"
"Yes, that's really the first time. I've never heard of anything like it. A whole family of brothers standing together, letting their little sister choose. It's like Xiao Dao pulling his butt and opening his eyes."
Du Mingxian's lips twitched. This man's thought process was also abnormal. His whole family insisted on marrying a girl. But after a little thought, she knew what was going on.
Nowadays, the Ling family is well-regarded in the surrounding area. With their only daughter returning home, many people are eyeing her, but very few dare to come and propose marriage. This person must be quite bold.
The brothers can marry any of them, but whoever marries them benefits. So this wasn't agreed upon at home, and they've come here to let the woman decide.
They're up to something.
How is my younger sister supposed to choose?
"Are they sincere? With so many people coming, how is my sister supposed to choose? They're all from the same family, and it would be so awkward for them to live together in the future. Besides, if the one who isn't chosen marries later, their wives will definitely have a problem with my sister. These people are really something else."
"I'm worried for my little sister. They're really something, just coming like that without considering us at all. I think they're doing it on purpose. If you ask me, don't choose any of them, don't marry any of them. It's fine to live on your own. You don't have to look after anyone else's face now."
