7 Chapter 7: Why won't the young master marry me?

"Surname Liu?"

Upon hearing the matchmaker's words, Zhao Huai was stunned, as if he had realized something.

At this moment, among the crowd in the courtyard, a young girl stepped forward and pointed at Zhao Huai, saying in surprise:

"Grandma, is he the one you wanted me to wait for?"

"I've been waiting for a long time and haven't seen anyone."

Zhao Huai furrowed his brow, "But I did enter the third room."

At this point, he understood.

He had entered the wrong room and met the wrong person!

The matchmaker, whose face was covered in cold sweat, quickly called a young servant beside her and angrily asked:

"Xiao Jiu, what's going on? Didn't I say it was the third room?"

The young servant shrank his neck, fear on his face, and stuttered, "I did inform them that it was the third room."

Zhao Huai asked, "Is it the third one on the right?"

"Yes."

The young servant nodded.

The beautiful woman then explained.

"At first I went to the right, but when I saw people there, I went to the left instead."

"So that's how it happened."

Zhao Huai suddenly realized how the misunderstanding had occurred.

Yu Qinghan had occupied the spot early, causing him to go to the wrong place.

"Miss Yu, Young Master Zhao, and everyone else, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault for not making the arrangements well."

The elderly matchmaker's face showed worry as she bowed apologetically to Zhao Huai, Yu Qinghan, and the others around her.

"Never mind, it seems that today is not suitable to find a suitor."

The beautiful woman sighed and then turned and left.

The matchmaker, seeing that the other party did not hold a grudge, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yu Qinghan again.

This one seemed to have an even more important background.

The matchmaker hurriedly said, "Miss Yu, I'll arrange it for you right away..."

Who would have thought that Yu Qinghan gave a gentle smile, shook her head, and said:

"It doesn't matter. I think Young Master Zhao is a very good person. By chance, I feel that he is more suitable for marriage."

Her words left Zhao Huai slightly taken aback.

What did she mean by more suitable for marriage?

Did she have her eyes on him?

It hadn't been long since they first met, this was too fast!

"Young Master Zhao, what do you think?"

Seeing Yu Qinghan's unexpected reaction, the matchmaker couldn't help but ask excitedly.

This Miss Yu could also be considered a regular customer at the matchmaking agency. She not only had a beautiful appearance, generous disposition, kind and polite demeanor, but she also had a good background, making her an ideal partner.

However, her demands were rather high, and none of her previous suitors had pleased her.

But unexpectedly, today's accidental encounter seemed to be a success!

"As long as Young Master Zhao agrees, this marriage can be preliminarily settled."

The matchmaker added another sentence.

"Well..."

Zhao Huai looked at Yu Qinghan's enchanting eyes, feeling quite conflicted.

If it weren't for the copper coin result, he might not have been able to resist agreeing, even though they hadn't known each other for long.

"Young Master Zhao, give a definite answer. Miss Yu is heartbroken waiting."

The impatient matchmaker walked up to Zhao Huai.

With such good conditions, how could you refuse? Is this what a man should do?

At this moment, the matchmaker was like an ant on a hot pot, extremely anxious. If she succeeded in this deal, there would be a lot of silver waiting for her!

Zhao Huai sighed lightly and said:

"I think that Miss Yu and I, we are not suitable."

Upon hearing this, the matchmaker's face showed an incredulous expression, and even the young servant beside her looked astonished.

"Why?"

Yu Qinghan's expression remained unchanged as she took a step forward and asked earnestly.

"Young Master, why won't you marry me?"

Zhao Huai calmly replied, "Miss Yu comes from a military family, I'm not worthy."

Yu Qinghan replied earnestly, "That's no reason. I've already told you, I've left my family behind and am no longer of a noble lady's status."

"But can you guarantee that they won't come looking for you? I seek a peaceful and quiet life, and your lifestyle is contrary to mine."

Zhao Huai raised this point very seriously.

"I can.""What I'm pursuing is just an ordinary and peaceful life."

Yu Qinghan's eyes were full of determination, and her tone was extremely resolute.

"Miss Yu..."

Zhao Huai was moved by her unwavering tone and hesitated for a moment.

When in doubt, let's toss a copper coin.

Unable to find a solution, Zhao Huai decided to use a copper coin to make a decision.

He tightly held the copper coin in his hand, and a series of words appeared in his mind.

[Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, let's see]

[None of them can be obtained without seeking it, countless hexagrams all come from one's own heart]

[Hexagram One: The shining star of martial arts, there is a marriage proposal in front of you. Whether to accept it and marry her, the indication you get is "fortune."]

What?

It's actually fortune?

Zhao Huai was very puzzled.

The previous divination result was clearly "misfortune"!

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Huai suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that this marriage proposal is not the same as the previous one?

It turned out that the person he was supposed to meet was different from Yu Qinghan, so the result was different.

In other words, marrying Yu Qinghan would lead to "fortune," while marrying the previous one would result in "misfortune."

Upon knowing this, Zhao Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, everyone was waiting for his answer.

Zhao Huai turned his head, looked into Yu Qinghan's beautiful eyes, and asked very solemnly: "Miss Yu, are you sure about this?"

"Of course, I've made up my mind."

As soon as Yu Qinghan heard Zhao Huai's words, she seemed to know his answer and decisively responded.

"In that case, let's set the wedding date for this month."

Seeing Zhao Huai finally agreed, the matchmaker let out a sigh of relief, her face showing a relaxed expression. She said with a grin:

"You two go home and make preparations. Inform your families' elders. In three days, you can get married."

Yu Qinghan and Zhao Huai exchanged glances again with tacit understanding, and then quickly separated.

"No problem." Zhao Huai replied.

"Same for me." Yu Qinghan responded as well.

At that moment, a deep purple ray of light quickly streaked through the air and entered Zhao Huai's mind.

...

As the crowd dispersed, Zhao Huai and Yu Qinghan agreed to see each other again on their wedding day.

Wearing a white dress, Yu Qinghan returned to her room.

After glancing at the maid next to the door, Yu Qinghan slowly sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and asked:

"How did it go?"

The tall maid who had been waiting for a long time respectfully performed a salute and said reverently:

"My Princess, I have found out that the search in Jinzhou was secretly arranged by King Qin. He bribed officials in Jinzhou and other large cities in the coastal region, apparently in order to find your whereabouts."

Yu Qinghan's face was as cold as frost, and her tone was icy cold: "My dear brother, in order to fight for power, he is really desperate. He's already targeting me after such a short time."

"So, what should we do?"

The tall maid asked for instructions.

"Sow confusion so that he doesn't disturb my life and doesn't come to Jinzhou." Yu Qinghan finished her tea with a calm expression.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the tall maid asked curiously:

"Princess, did you really tell Young Master Zhao everything?"

Yu Qinghan shook her head: "No, I was afraid he couldn't accept it, so I changed things a little. The overall story is the same. I told him I come from a military aristocratic family, and he only barely accepted it."

"It was just to prevent unexpected scenarios in the future and cover up."

"But why did Your Highness choose him?"

The tall maid's expression was full of questions.

Although the princess didn't have high requirements, she just wanted someone to live her life with, none of the previous candidates were satisfactory.

But this one suddenly made the cut.

Yu Qinghan took a deep breath, recalling Zhao Huai's gentle smile. The cold aura on her face disappeared, replaced by a faint smile:

"I don't know, maybe we just hit it off. Being with him, even talking, feels really comfortable."

The tall maid covered her mouth and laughed: "Your Highness dares to marry, and Young Master Zhao dares to accept. It's truly a match made in heaven."
