Chapter 551: Dance with Your Saber
When Wen Lancheng was first rescued, he had already wanted to pay them a visit.
However, at that time, he was just an insignificant graduate. If he came, others would think that he was trying to curry favor with the Xie family.
Hence, he held it back.
Now that he had obtained the title of the top scholar, His Majesty valued him very much. Now that he came again, it was also a show of respect for the Xie family.
“My daughter has such sharp eyes?” Xie Niushan was always out of the picture. He thought about it and said, “The imposter you mentioned met with my daughter… Is he going to marry her?”
Wen Lancheng’s face was slightly blushing. “Master Xie, please don’t be angry. Only the siblings and you know about this matter. I didn’t tell anyone else. In addition, I also know that Young Master Xie really liked my talent and wanted to set me up with her. So today, there’s one more thing…
“Although I don’t have much assets now, my future is pretty great. I-If Master Xie doesn’t mind, I’m willing to marry her,” Wen Lancheng said nervously.
He came here today to test the waters.
If the Xie family agreed, he would go back and look for a matchmaker to discuss it formally.
As this matter was still uncertain, even if Master Xie rejected him, it would not affect Young Lady Xie much.
Young Lady Xie…
He did not know what she looked like.
However, he believed that Young Lady Xie was meticulous and smart. She must be a good woman that was hard to come by.
When Wen Lancheng thought of that, his ears were red. Xie Niushan could not sit still when he saw him like that.
This kid was here to trick his daughter?!
He was really not pleasing to the eye.
“You can’t marry her just because you want to. My daughter, even if you want to marry her, you have to please me first!” Xie Niushan’s face was cold.
“Of course.” Wen Lancheng nodded immediately, “I don’t have parents or siblings, it’s indeed difficult for a lone ranger to support himself. However, my parents left some money and land in my hometown, I still have them. My family took good care of me, so I’m not completely without relatives…”
Wen Lancheng felt guilty.
Young Lady Xie was such a good person, and his conditions were indeed not worthy of her.
He was only a top scholar, but without Young Lady Xie, he would have lost his life.
“Do you know how to drink?” Xie Niushan asked.
Wen Lancheng shook his head. “I’m ashamed. I-I can only drink one cup.”
“What about fighting?” Xie Niushan frowned.
Wen Lancheng’s expression became even worse. “I’ve never learned martial arts, b-but if anything happens to Young Lady Xie, I’ll protect her even if I have to risk my life!”
“If you don’t even know martial arts, how are you going to protect her? Won’t we all die together in the end?” Xie Niushan said disdainfully, “I won’t make things difficult for you. Now that my daughter isn’t home, what about you… wait for her to come home and visit later. By then… Dance with your saber. I think it’s a great idea. We’ll see what my daughter thinks.”
Wen Lancheng wiped the sweat off his head.
“You don’t agree?” Xie Niushan was fierce.
“Of course I do. When I go home, I’ll definitely learn that!” Wen Lancheng hurriedly said in surprise.
After saying that, Xie Niushan nodded.
Although he was a little fair and tender, he was still quite obedient.
Xie Qiao had no idea that Xie Niushan had found some fun by himself.
At that moment, she sat in the carriage gloomily. Xie Pinggang was riding a horse to protect her outside.
“Master Mo, didn’t my Sister come with you? Where’s she? Why didn’t I see her?” Xie Pinggang asked with a suspicious look.
