452 Chapter 452. Engaged?
After midnight, it was lights out at the Blue Eagle Base. Therefore, only the streetlights were still on during the long night.
Under the dim light, Aunty Feng tried to see Zhuang Xian’s expression. She wanted to know what Zhuang Xian was thinking!
After all, their matriarch had already been so sincere and low-key in her attitude. If Zhuang Xian continued to reject her, she would seem unable to appreciate her kindness.
Aunt Feng had already made things very clear in front of Zhuang Xian. She did like Zhuang Xian, this beautiful child, but at the same time, she also liked a well-behaved and sensible child more.
However, Zhuang Xian’s heart was filled with too many gullies. If Mo Qian could not do it, Mo Su would not be able to! She was not someone that anyone could try to hold or control.
Zhuang Xian already had a lot of plans in her heart. She looked at Aunt Feng gently, but her eyes were steadfast.
She said thoughtfully and politely, “I’m grateful that grandma Mo thinks highly of me and likes me. I’m thrilled. However, her sudden action stunned me! I also understand what you’ve said. No matter what my relationship with Mo Qian is now, it’s still just my relationship with Mo Qian!”
As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Feng and smiled. A light breeze brushed past her hair and gently caressed her face. “I’m guessing that when grandma Mo mentioned this suggestion to Mo Qian yesterday, Mo Qian rejected her, right? It’s getting late, so I’ll cut to the chase. I have a good impression of Mo Qian, but so far, it’s only a good impression.
Emotional matters are between Mo Qian and me. Before we, the parties involved, express our stance or speak, the elders shouldn’t interfere! I don’t want to get engaged to Mo Qian immediately. I believe Mo Qian understands my thoughts. Do you know what I mean?”
However, Zhuang Xian’s eyes were sincere and straightforward as she looked at Aunt Feng, neither servile nor overbearing, nor did she give in!
She knew a servant like Aunt Feng, raised in an aristocratic family, would speak and do things dignifiedly.
Zhuang Xian did not dare to say that Aunt Feng’s words were all lies, but at the very least, there were some overstatements. Her intentions were not pure, and her intentions were not open enough.
Aunt Feng had said so much to Zhuang Xian to play the emotional card.
If Zhuang Xian was just a little less experienced, not as determined, or if she liked Mo Qian just a little more, she would probably have been moved by Aunty Feng’s words by now. She would not care about anything else and would not wait to marry Mo Qian.
However, their current behavior was the most inappropriate.
How could the marriage between two great families not be informed of the bride’s family? What kind of rules did she follow to talk to the girl privately?
If there were any future disputes between the two sides, would the words they had spoken in private today still count?
Aunt Feng said she was passing on a message for Mo Su, but she was just a servant. Whether her words could represent Mo Su or not, there was a lot of room for discussion.
Mo Su had overdone it. Her seemingly humble and sincere attitude carried a hint of arrogance and superiority.
She had forgotten that in this kind of marriage, she had to consider Zhuang Xian’s personal feelings. There was also some simple etiquette that could not be omitted!
The most crucial thing in this was respect and attention.
Zhuang Xian had her thoughts and ideas; not everyone could control her. So what if Mo Su used her identity to suppress her? Zhuang Xian still did not care!
Zhuang Xian admitted that she was not close to this old Madam Mo. Even though they had just exchanged a few words, she could not tell what she was thinking. She had always been on her guard, and it was normal for her to think of others in the worst possible way.
