She agreed so readily that the people present were startled.

Ye Shui's eyes turned red upon hearing this, and she shook her head at Ji Qingchi.

No one else knew what happened to the young man who was widowed early, but she knew it very well.

Because her father was there to celebrate her mother's pregnancy, but her mother died not long after giving birth to her. Her father was considered a wife-killer and had his spine poked and tortured day and night. After her grandmother died, her father and she were even kicked out.

Her father was dragged away to build a river and died of illness not long after. She went to beg her aunt to let her father and her mother be buried together, but she was accused of being a mother-killer and unworthy of their marriage. In the family cemetery, she could only sell the tokens her mother gave to her father and buy another place for her father to bury.

Ji Qingchi comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, I heard that the head of the Su family is very kind and charitable. I believe her young lady is also reasonable and will be fine."

Besides, even if the young lady is unruly and unreasonable, she can still use the sword in her hand to make her submissive.

Ji Qingchi smiled very gently.

Wang Erfeng saw it and said happily, "That's good. It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. You can go to the city with us today to apply!"

He was afraid that he would regret it, so it didn't matter that Ji Qingchi was late.

If she met the Su family sooner, maybe she would be able to return to the palace earlier.

She responded immediately, "Okay."

Seeing the benefactor who had saved her was so anxious, she smiled and said, "My benefactor, please come with me."

Li Tiezhu said, "How can anyone go to marry someone else and bring another woman with him?"

Ji Qingchi glanced at him sideways and said, "She is my sister. There is no government rule that says sisters are not allowed to see off their relatives when they marry, right?"

But thinking about how he was just a defenseless weakling, what could he do to him, he immediately muttered, "Who knows whether she is a real sister or a love sister."

Ji Qingchi gave her a cold look and ignored him.

Wang Erfeng was very happy and asked his cousin to drive the family's ox cart and send them to the city to apply for the marriage.

Wang Erfeng's cousin was almost thirty years old and had not yet married. He was burly and looked a bit fierce. When he heard his cousin's request, he frowned and asked, "Why are you so enthusiastic about this matter?"

Wang Erfeng muttered what Li Tiezhu told him.

"Seriously, you can get thirty taels of silver for recommending a suitable candidate?"

"Certainly!"

Thirty taels is enough for a small family like them to eat and drink for a year and a half, and for Wang Erfeng's cousin, an alcoholic, it is enough money for drinks for half a year. After hearing this, she said in succession, "Then let's leave quickly!"

It was obvious that Ji Qingchi was late to apply to become a husband, but the Wang siblings were more interested in her than she was. They pulled the cart and drove to the city without stopping.

When they got there, the head of the Su family happened to have sent seven or eight people to guard under the notice. There were already many people standing there, waiting to apply.
