Chapter 325 "Agree" to raise a concubine
Qiufen's pretty eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, "Mr. Zhao is right. People like Anle are like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off."
"Anyway...if anything happens, you should come to the Dali Temple and inform us. We will not sit idly by and watch someone rob a woman in the street. What's more, Miss An has been rewarded." Zhao Huaiqing looked at Qiufen seriously, and only withdrew his gaze after Qiufen nodded.
……
Within a few days, the news that Wu Jiangan was going to take the young lady from the Kyoto restaurant as his concubine spread among the diners who came and went.
It's not that everyone has nothing to do, it's just that this matter is indeed quite exciting. After all, when dealing with a "famous" dandy like Wu Jiangan, everyone either keeps a distance from him or doesn't have any contact with him at all.
Like Kyoto Restaurant, it has no foundation and no backing, and is just a name in name only.
But he dared to ignore Wu Jiangan from childhood to adulthood, which is really admirable and it is too easy to become a topic of conversation after dinner.
Of course, the people inside Kyoto Restaurant did not take Wu Jiangan seriously as rumored by the outside world.
Instead, she was on high alert every day, fearing that another man would appear out of nowhere and foolishly believe Anle's words.
Naturally, these words reached the ears of An Yonghou. When he heard this, he was furious.
It was really a ghost. An ignorant fool like Wu Jiangan dared to set his sights on his daughter. The key point was that he even put on an expression of humiliating his daughter as if giving her the position of a concubine was a great gift from heaven.
This time, Marquis An Yong really didn't want to wait any longer. He just wanted to wait for Qi Ningliang to finish his court session, and then they would go to a restaurant in Kyoto. He had to recognize his daughter today.
Let’s see who else can look down on his own daughter?
Who would have thought that before Qi Ningliang left the court, Wu Jiangan came to the restaurant with a few uneducated people.
……
"Anqiao~ My father and brother have already agreed to bring you back to the mansion to be a concubine. Today is an auspicious day. You know, my father is the imperial teacher, and the dates he calculates are never wrong." Wu Jiangan laughed as he entered the room, seeming very proud.
An Qiao... You can agree to this. It seems that when Gu Qingyun comes back, I still have to remind him. Is it really reasonable for the Dayan Dynasty to have such an imperial master?
"I haven't agreed yet. What do you mean you want to carry me back?" An Qiao didn't give the other party a good look and responded coldly.
At this time, there were 10 bodyguards standing beside An Qiao. An Qiao took a rough look and found that the people coming this time were the same group as the last time.
She was not afraid at all that she would be forcibly taken back. I wonder where Wu Jiangan got the courage from?
It's strange to say, since he promised Wu Jiangan that he could take a concubine, I don't believe that his father and brother hadn't inquired about this matter. The servants were all bruised and battered when they went back last time, how could they not know about it.
Since you know that, why don't you bring new people to him?
Could it be that it’s just because he hit a wall here, and then... since I can’t discipline him at home, I want society to discipline him?
An Qiao went from being horrified at first to gradually calming down and becoming speechless.
As expected, Wu Jiangan stood at the front with his hands on his hips, which reminded An Qiao of the chubby little boy when she was in school, who also liked to stand at the front and shout every day.
"Do I need your consent for this? I have already given your brother 80 taels of silver, which is the betrothal gift, do you understand? You are a concubine, but I gave you a betrothal gift that is so respectable and honorable. Don't you want to deny it?"
After saying this, he seemed to be afraid of An Qiao's words, and immediately continued, "Besides, what is my identity? What is your identity? If I want to take you back, do I need your consent? By then, you will lose your innocence and you won't be able to marry. You can only accept your fate."
An Qiao didn't want to waste time talking to him. She had already offended him once, so she didn't care if she offended him again. It was impossible for her to really go home with him, right?
Besides, seeing the attitude of his father and brother, An Qiao probably couldn't do anything about it.
Wu Jiangan saw An Qiao's eyes and took a few steps back. "I'm warning you, don't mess around. There are so many people who want to be my concubine. Who are you? You actually want to hit me."
An Qiao nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, I just want to hit you."
Wu Jiangan was furious. "You guys lost last time. Beat this girl and her followers to death. I don't believe it. You must follow me today, no matter you live or die."
Soon, the two groups of people started fighting each other. Compared with the escorts who had to fight with criminals all year round, the servants around Wu Jiangan seemed much weaker.
Everyone was a little timid when they stepped forward. In addition, they were beaten black and blue last time, and several of them had to lie down for several days. They were even more afraid to step forward.
An Qiao simply returned to the kitchen, hoping that this farce could end soon.
Not long after, wailing was heard coming from the front hall. Fortunately, it was not time for lunch, otherwise An Qiao would probably have the escorts take everyone out and beat them.
"you you you……"
Seeing that An Qiao didn't take him seriously at all, Wu Jiangan became even more angry and looked at An Qiao with a red face.
For a moment, he couldn't utter a word. He opened his mouth and closed it again.
"What's wrong with me? Mr. Wu, you'd better go back quickly. Your father and brother promised you that you can have a concubine, but they thought that I would not go back with you, so they let you out. Do you really think your father and brother agreed?" An Qiao bit a clear grape with a teasing look on her face.
Wu Jiangan was broken down by what he said, and he ran towards An Qiao, panting heavily. He had never seen anyone so sharp-tongued and disrespectful to his young lady. He had to take her back today, otherwise where would his face be?
When his servants were knocked down just now, he clearly saw a few playboys around him trying to hold back their laughter. Everyone had powerful families, and he didn't want to provoke them easily, so he could only hold back his laughter.
But An Qiao has humiliated him two or three times. If he doesn't tie her up and take her back today, how can he save his face again?
Compared to Wu Jiangan's clumsy steps, An Qiao easily dodged to the side, "Mr. Wu, don't rush around in the restaurant. I can't stop you if you run into a frying pan."
The reason why An Qiao could still joke easily was because she was betting that Wu Jiangan's father and brother did not want him to have a concubine, and that his father and brother really could not control him and so allowed him to do so.
