Chapter 161 I Agree to Get Married Tomorrow
"Xinyao, how come you have time to come here today?" Xie Shiya walked forward enthusiastically and asked with a bright smile on her face.
"Esther, I came here specifically for you. Mr. Wu came to me in person tonight and said he wanted to marry you, and I have already accepted it on your behalf." Wang Xinyao said straight to the point.
At the same time, she paid attention to Xie Shiya's reaction and added, "But if you don't want to, I will help you reject it immediately!"
Hearing this, Xie Ya Shi's cheeks couldn't help but blush.
She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Xinyao, thank you so much. Actually...actually, I like him very much, but I've always been worried that you would object to us being together."
Wang Xinyao couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, and comforted him, "Oh, look how nervous you are. He really loves you. Besides, his family is so well-off, and your fate is truly extraordinary!"
As she spoke, Wang Xinyao turned her gaze to Xie Baihong standing beside her: "Dad, what do you think?"
After a brief thought, Xie Baihong nodded in agreement: "Well, I also think this marriage is good. I think it's worth considering."
"Okay, then he will come to pick up the bride tomorrow. Anyway, your wedding dress has been prepared long ago, so we just need to tidy up a little now!" Wang Xinyao said with a smile.
Xie Baihong, standing by, frowned, a worried look on his face as he asked, "Xinyao, isn't it inappropriate to act so hastily? Wouldn't it seem like our daughter is in a rush to get married?"
Wang Xinyao shook her head slightly: "Esther is willing, and Mr. Wu is also very sincere."
Then, she patiently explained, "Dad, you don't know, ever since Master Wu regained consciousness, there has been an endless stream of matchmakers coming to his house. If we hesitate for even a moment, Master Wu will definitely immediately look for another daughter-in-law. If someone else gets there first, it will be too late for regret!"
These words made Xie Shiya, who had been standing silently beside her, blush instantly. She lowered her head and said softly, "Dad, I agree to get married tomorrow!"
Seeing Xie Shiya's firm attitude, Xie Baihong hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.
At this time, Wang Xinyao took out two silver notes from her bosom and handed them to Xie Shiya: "Here, this is the dowry I prepared for you!"
Xie Shiya happily took the banknote. However, when she took a closer look, she opened her mouth in surprise and screamed, "Two thousand taels? Xinyao, this is too much! I can't accept so much money!"
"Take it," Wang Xinyao said earnestly. "The Wu family is a wealthy family, and the relationships within that compound are complicated. What will you do if you don't have some money with you after you marry into their family?"
Then, as if she had thought of something, Wang Xinyao added, "Of course, if you feel uncomfortable staying in the Wu family after you get married, you can always come back to our Xie Village even if you're already married! This will always be your home. I'm here and will never let you suffer any injustice."
Hearing this, Xie Shiya's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.
She held the banknote in her hand and said with a choked voice, "Thank you, Xinyao..."
At this moment, she deeply felt the care from her family. That selfless and deep love made her feel happy and at ease.
From today on, she secretly vowed in her heart that she would treat Wang Xinyao as her own sister.
The next morning, when it was still dawn, Wu Mingjun led the wedding procession to the gate of the Xie family.
A gorgeously and brightly decorated sedan chair was parked there steadily, surrounded by boxes of extremely generous betrothal gifts, and the scene was very lively.
At this time, Xie Shiya had already finished dressing up. She wore a dazzling phoenix crown on her head and an exquisite bridal gown on her body. She looked as beautiful as a fairy who had descended to earth.
Under the blessing-filled gazes of many relatives and friends, she carefully got into the bridal sedan, feeling happy but unable to hide her nervousness.
Wang Xinyao stood quietly at the door, a gratified smile on her face, watching the bridal sedan gradually disappear at the end of her sight.
At this moment, Xie Xiaogang came to Wang Xinyao's side quietly.
He lowered his voice and said, "Sister, there are so many guests at your house! I see that Lord Luo is also inside. You should go back and take a look."
Wang Xinyao couldn't help but smile upon hearing this and replied, "Okay, thank you, Brother Xiaogang, for telling me. I'll hurry home right away."
After she finished speaking, she lifted up her skirt and walked briskly towards her home.
When Wang Xinyao finally arrived home, many soldiers and officers came to the yard, and there were also many people crowded in the house. It was obvious that many people had been waiting here for a long time.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then slowly stepped into the house.
As soon as she entered the door, Luo Qing came forward and said, "Miss Wang, long time no see!"
At the same time, Ouyang Ping also rushed over like a gust of wind, grabbed Wang Xinyao's arm, and called out coquettishly, "Sister Wang, you're finally back! I've been waiting so eagerly!"
After the three of them entered the hall, Luo Qing hurriedly introduced them to Wang Xinyao with a smile, "Miss Wang, this is the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, and also Ping'er's father."
As he spoke, he pointed at the middle-aged man standing beside him.
Wang Xinyao looked in the direction Luo Qing pointed, and saw the man in front of her wearing a gorgeous official uniform, with a firm face and a majestic aura without even being angry.
She was secretly shocked. The Prime Minister was a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Apart from the royal family, he was a prominent figure in the entire court, second only to the emperor.
Wang Xinyao did not dare to neglect and quickly bowed to the Prime Minister, performing a profound and respectful salute, saying, "I, Wang Xinyao, pay my respects to the Prime Minister."
"Miss Wang, there's no need to be so polite." Seeing this, Ouyang Ming hurriedly stood up and said in a very polite tone.
Wang Xinyao nodded slightly in thanks and stood up straight. Then her eyes instantly turned to Luo Qing standing beside her. She blinked gently and said with a smile on her face, "Hey, Ping'er?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Qing's face turned red. He stood there at a loss, not knowing how to respond.
Ouyang Ping, who was standing beside her, was extremely shy and called out softly, "Sister Wang..."
Seeing the two of them so embarrassed, Wang Xinyao couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, I'm not kidding. Look how nervous you two are."
