Old madam Jian recalled her youthful years. The strange doctor had visited her father and made a proposal, but her father roughly drove him out because of his humble origin. At that time, she hadn't known anything about the proposal and just kept waiting eagerly for the strange doctor come to her.
Unexpectedly, she had waited for half a year and finally, in despair, married to the Jian family under her parents' arrangement.
Until many years later when they met again did the weird doctor have a chance to tell her the failed proposal and did she know that she had wronged him.
However, the mistake lasted for a life.
Old madam Jian looked a little sad, but Mo Qianxue found it the best timing, so she looked to Jian Qingyou.
Unexpectedly, Jian Qingyou, heard hearing such a sentimental story, was still sunk in the LiangZhu story, eyes flashing wither tears.
Jian Qingyou didn't look back made Mo Qianxue a little anxious, "Grandma Jian. Although this story is fake, there are lots of stories like this in real life." Mo Qianxue meant to remind Jian Qingyou, "Qingyou, do you know any of such stories?"
Only then did Jian Qingyou return to the real world, giving nanny Liang a look and kneeling down, "Grandma, I have something to tell you."
At this scene, nanny Liang sent away all the servant girls in the room, and only she stood at the door.
Old madam Jian's mind was still wandering in the LiangZhu plot and didn't understand her behavior for the time being, "My dear You, what's the matter? Stand up."
Jian Qingyou kowtowed and began in a sad and slow voice, "Grandma, actually, I have feelings toward the eldest young lord Xin of Xin family."
"What?" Seeing Jian Qingyou both kneeled and kowtowed, old madam had known that what she was going to say would be astonishing, yet she didn't expect it was about her relationship, so she still stunned.
Jian Qingyou suddenly remembered what Mo Qianxue had mentioned in the LiangZhu story: If we couldn't live under the same roof, then we'd rather die in the same tomb! She squared her shouldered, determination burning in her eyes, "I'll only marry lord Xin."
Old madam Jian didn't know how to answer her at the moment, "What on earth is going on? You have a relationship with him? Tell me everything." This granddaughter was brought up by her side. Even she had left for a year, she was in the capital. How did she get muddled with that guy? Only marry him?!
Jian Qingyou remained kneeling, waist straight and jaw slightly raised, "Grandma, I don't dare to hide it from you. On that day I went to Hanshan Temple to pray for you... Hence, since then all that in my mind is him."
"You...you make me so mad." Old madam Jian patted the table and stood up, "I've been teaching you females virtues and rules since you're little. Why do you have so low self-esteem? I've...cough..."
Old madam Jian coughed because of the fury stuck in her throat.
Nanny Liang, standing by the side, quickly stepped forward to held her and gently stoked her back to help her breathe smoother, "Old madam, don't be mad. Be careful of your health."
Since nanny Liang had also listened to the tragic love story and felt pitiful to the poor couple, she intended to speak for Jian Qingyou, "Eldest lady has been a role model of woman. I believe it's the arrangement of heaven to let her meet lord Xin at the temple."
"The arrangement of heaven? Even if heaven arranged them to meet, when she met a strange man, she should try to avoid at once. Even if the guy saved her, she should thank him and leave at once, instead of listening to him playing the flute or dancing..." Old madam reproved, "What a public indecency!"
