Chapter 620 - The Cousin Who Would Marry No One But Him (3)_1
"No, not at all!" Pei Qian looked up at him.
The more Fang Liuming observed her, the more he felt something was amiss. The Pei Qian he knew was someone with a sparkle in her eyes, but now, that sparkle seemed to have vanished. Seeing that he couldn’t get an answer from her, Fang Liuming kept a watchful eye and, after consulting Mo Heng, left Liu’er Alley and began to inquire if anything had happened to Pei Qin’s family.
"As for what’s happened, well, there wasn’t really an incident as much as there was a good turn of events! That Old Zhao’s younger brother-in-law, Young Master Yang, during the Qiqiao Festival, made a whole river’s worth of Lotus Lanterns and even wrote poems to confess his love! It looks like they’re going to become kin!"
Another person added, "Those three sisters really do have a way about them! Each one gets married off better than the last."
"That’s because Pei Qin herself is capable, having acquired such a large estate, and even for growing sweet potatoes she was rewarded. Becoming an imperial merchant for producing soy sauce, if it weren’t for her, her two younger sisters would not have been able to marry so well. Pei Yuan’s dowry alone was even more generous than what a young lady from a noble family would traditionally receive!"
A few people clicked their tongues in envy.
Fang Liuming felt as if his heart had plunged into an ice cellar. Cousin Qian disagreed with close kin marrying and had rejected his marriage proposal. And that Yang Boyan... His approach toward Cousin Qian had indeed been with ulterior motives. If he proposed, would Cousin Qian... accept?
Just by looking at Fang Liuming’s face, Pei Qin knew he had gone out and inquired about the matter. She quietly rolled her eyes, "What are people saying outside?"
Fang Liuming glanced around the room, not seeing Pei Qian, and spoke with difficulty, "Cousin, have you agreed to Yang Boyan’s marriage proposal?"
"No," Pei Qin replied truthfully.
