I Am This Type of Woman

Chapter 58

In the end, the Bans decided to meet Count Chengan.

The family of four plus Rong Xia sat quietly looking at the stack of gifts in the room, the silence was louder than if anyone spoke. Ban Heng felt the atmosphere was too awkward, so awkward that his eyes couldnt stop sweeping over Rong Xia and his sister again and again.

He thought the idea that Count Rong had an intention towards his sister was too much, it turned out to be too little.

Uncle, Aunt, Rong Xia rose and performed a deep junior bow towards Ban Huai and Yin-shi, Wanbei is presumptious to come and bother, please Uncle and Aunt forgive.

Ban Huai silently held his cup, last time it was still Master Marquis, in a short period of time he had turned into Uncle. He used to think everything about Rong Xia was good, but he no longer felt that way.

Rong Xias eyebrows were too shapely, men with such eyebrows were said to be inflexible. With a pair of peach blossom eyes, eight or nine out of ten he was a magnet for romances. Slightly thin lips, one look and youd see he must be heartless. Wasnt there a saying butchers are most righteous, and scholars are most ungrateful, this Rong Xia had read so many books, how if he was ungrateful?

Not good, not good. In his mind, he shook his head, then he turned to Yin-shi.

Yin-shi raised her eyelids, smiled slightly and said, Heard Count Chengan has the intention to propose to my failure of a daughter, this Yin-shi glanced at her daughter, who didnt look embarrassed, ..this is a bit sudden, we are very surprised.

Uncle, Aunt, wanbei is sincere in proposing to Junzhu. If wanbei can marry Ban family miss, it will be one heart and one mind, never apart until our heads are silver. Wanbei with Junzhu will be like Uncle with Aunt. Rong Xia saluted Ban Huai and Yin-shi again, If in the future wanbei ever dares to break this vow, may wanbei be scorned and reputation swiped off, living a miserable lifetime of loneliness.

This was the most severe oath that a noble gongzi with fame could make. Had he said something in line of struck by lightning or so, it wouldnt even enter the Bans ears for being too cliché.

Ban Heng coughed dryly, watching Ban Hua from the corner of his eyes, what did his sister think?

Ban Hua was sneaking a piece of snack into her mouth, she took a sip of tea and gave him an innocent smile.

What does it mean, are you willing or not? Besides, someone is proposing to you, shouldnt you pretend to be a little shy?

Our daughter dislikes poetry and books, afraid she doesnt share common interests with you. Yin-shi felt as if she had been an evil mother-in-law who made things difficult for son-in-law.

What Junzhu likes, wanbei will like it too. Poetry and books is just a small interest to do in spare times, it is not as important as Junzhu.

Ban Huais eyelids twitched, this lad had potential. That time he had also relied on the similar spirit of shamelessness to tease his Furens heart so it would blossom for him.

This girl is a squanderer, she likes flowers and make-up, while Master Count Yin-shi was going to say Master Count was frugal, but then she saw Rong Xias clothing. It was plain and made of cotton in consideration of the mourning period, but the embroidery wasnt simple. Yin-shi could see the embroidery was more expensive than the material, Master Count likes simple and elegant looks, it is also an incompatibility.

Junzhu is the pride of the nation, the makeup and adornment are essential. Whatever she likes to wear, she should wear, wanbei will like everything. Whatever she likes to eat, she should eat, there is only zaixia at home, everything is according to her preferences. Wanbeis ancestors were not prominent, but the legacy left to wanbei is still generous. Wanbei wont ever let Junzhu worry about money.
