Chapter 301: Chapter 294: Fiancée Steps In_1

The marriage proposal procession was quite impressive, comprising over a dozen people and carrying a generous bridal dowry, attracting the attention of many onlookers along the way.

Qin Niu felt uncertain about the Tang Family’s attitude.

If necessary, he could make some promises to the Tang Family as compensation for taking Tang Caixian as his consort.

They soon arrived at Tang Wenhаn’s home.

But the courtyard door was tightly closed.

This gave Qin Niu a bad premonition.

Tang Caixian longed to marry him, but it seemed her family was not very supportive.

“No worries, I’ll go get Auntie He over here.”

Seeing that they might be turned away at the door, Aunt Hua hurriedly called for the local matchmaker, Sister He, from Daoyuan Village.

The two often collaborated and were in frequent contact, so naturally, she sought help from a colleague when facing a problem.

Sister He, having already discussed the situation with Aunt Hua on the way over, seemed to know the gist of the matter.

She smiled at Qin Niu and said, “Master Qin, don’t worry. They say you can’t keep a grown daughter at home. As long as Cai Xian is willing to marry you, Tang Wenhаn’s stubbornness won’t matter. Besides, Master Qin, you are young and promising, with a bright future ahead of you; marrying you would be no loss for her.”

After comforting Qin Niu, Sister He started calling out at the door directly.

“Tang Wenhаn, open up, you’ve got great news coming!”

There was no response from inside the house.

A moment later, however, a window on the upper floor opened.

“Is that Auntie He? I’ll come down and open the door right away.”

Tang Caixian leaned out halfway, dressed very delicately.

She wore a pink dress that perfectly combined a young girl’s charm with a graceful figure.

Knowing Qin Niu would come to propose today, she had taken special care to dress up.

Seeing that her father and brother would not open the door, she could not contain her impatience and rushed to agree.

“Stay upstairs, your brother will open the door.”

Tang Wenhаn’s voice rose from inside the house.

He ordered his daughter not to come downstairs.

Soon, Tang Bin opened both the main gate and the courtyard door.

His expression was icy-cold, showing no emotion.

“Brother Tang Bin!”

Qin Niu greeted him proactively with polite respect.

“You’re welcome to visit, but there’s no need to bring your things inside,” Tang Bin said coldly.

Qin Niu knew that this brother-in-law was angry. No one would want their sister to marry off as a concubine. He decided not to take issue with Tang Bin’s attitude.

“You fellows, please wait outside for a while. Aunt Hua, Sister He, let’s the three of us go in first,” Qin Niu said as he led the way.

Inside the main hall, Tang Wenhаn sat there puffing on his dry pipe with a “tapping” sound.

“Shuangfeng Village’s Qin Niu pays his respects to Uncle Tang,” said Qin Niu as he stepped forward to greet him.

“Hmph! Sit down!” Tang Wenhаn grunted, not even lifting his eyes.

A young woman in a floral dress, likely Tang Bin’s wife, gestured for the three to sit down and then served them tea.

“Brother Wenhаn, you see, Young Master Qin is sincere about wanting to marry your daughter, and Cai Xian has a special affection for Young Master Qin…” Sister He started working on Tang Wenhаn’s mindset very professionally, as soon as she sat down.

“Drink your tea, let them speak for themselves,” said Tang Wenhаn, looking down and puffing on his pipe.

“Uncle Tang, I wish to take your daughter, Tang Caixian, as my concubine. I hope you will grant us your blessing,” Qin Niu, deciding not to beat around the bush, said directly.

“Bullying too far, bullying too far!”

Tang Wenhаn’s dry tobacco pipe banged on the table with a thumping sound, his face filled with anger.

“I only have this one daughter. In looks, talent, character, where does she fall short for you to look down upon her like this? So many young masters and sons of wealthy families want to marry her, but I refused. Yet, you set your sights on this poor Insect Master. Don’t think that becoming an Insect Master is something extraordinary. To take my daughter as a concubine, no way.”
