Chapter 2546 Corning’s Marriage!
Of course Wang Yue noticed Chai An's presence. He asked Zhao Jian to take the Five Rats and Cao Danshu to practice their own music, and then accompanied Shouhua to meet Kang Ning and Chai An.

However, they did not walk too far. They just walked around a few corridors and sat down at the stone table in a pavilion not far away.

Shouhua waited for the servants to bring tea. After she poured a cup of tea for everyone, she frowned and asked, "Sister, what brings you and this young master here?"

Corning had drunk this kind of tea-soaked water before and felt it had a special fragrance. However, this kind of tea was not common outside, and Wang Yue did not arrange to sell it outside. She also knew how precious these things were.

So he couldn't help but take a big sip, and then he said seriously, "Sister, brother-in-law, this is the case. My lost portrait has been found now."

When Shouhua heard this, he looked at Chai An and then asked happily, "That's good to find it! Could it be that this gentleman found it?"

It was the first time for Chai An to drink such tea. He thought it was just a mouthwash at first, but when the tea reached his mouth, he felt the fragrance and the taste was particularly comfortable. He swallowed it involuntarily, and then drank the whole glass of water.

Hearing Shouhua's question, Chai An quickly put down the cup in his hand and explained seriously, "Madam Wang, my surname is Chai, and my given name is An. You can just call me Chai An. The portrait is not with me, but with Yang Xian, the younger brother of Concubine Yang in the palace."

Shouhua originally saw that the tea in Chai An's cup was empty, so she stood up and poured another cup for Chai An. As she was pouring, she suddenly heard these words, which made her hand pause for a moment, and then all the water in the cup spilled out.

She didn't expect that this person was Chai An, the one who almost bankrupted their family's business, but why would this person help her sister? She was distracted for a moment and didn't control the amount of water.

Shouhua knew he was being rude, so he quickly apologized and said, "I'm so sorry..."

Chai An didn't dare to ask Shou Hua to apologize. He quickly flicked the water stains himself and interrupted Shou Hua, saying, "It's okay. I was a little greedy."

Wang Yue saw that the two were still trying to be modest, but their business was delayed, so he simply asked, "You came here this time to ask me to help you solve Yang Xian's problem, right?"

Shouhua quickly put down the teapot and said to Wang Yue nervously, "Please help my sister, Master. Just now, Master Chai said that the man is the brother of the concubine of the Heavenly Duty, and our Li family cannot afford to offend him. Of course, if the master cannot solve the problem, we can find a way to let my third sister escape."

Wang Yue made a calming gesture, then said with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to worry. It's not a big deal. I can think of at least two solutions to this problem in a short time."

Shouhua was a little surprised when she heard Wang Yue's words. She really couldn't think of how to solve the problem, and Wang Yue actually gave two solutions in a short time. She hurriedly asked, "Master, please tell me clearly."

Wang Yue took a sip of the tea in the cup, looked at Chai An's expression, and then calmly said tentatively, "The first solution is of course to marry the third girl off as soon as possible. At the very least, a marriage contract must be made. In this case, Yang Xian will have no other options."

Shouhua was relieved to hear this, but he also frowned. After all, it would not be easy to find a suitable partner for his third sister in a short time.

Chai An seemed to be thinking about something. He couldn't help but look at Kang Ning and suddenly felt that this was a good idea. After all, as long as Sanniang got married, with the ability of the Chai family, no one could snatch his wife away from him.

Kang Ning didn't even notice Chai An looking at her. She thought this was a good idea, but she didn't want to marry someone casually, so she asked quickly, "Brother-in-law, what's your second idea?"

Wang Yue could tell that Kang Ning probably didn't know that Chai An liked him, so he shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "The second way is simple. You hide for a while. As for the store, let someone else take care of it. The capital is so big, I don't think Yang Xian will have any way to find you. As for the Li family, don't worry, Chai An won't dare to do anything to your sister and mother-in-law."

Chai An was a little disappointed when he heard that Wang Yue actually suggested hiding. He quickly reminded him, "Sir, Yang Xian can command the troops of the Five Cities Army Division. As long as he is in the area near the capital, he will definitely be able to dig the people out. I'm afraid your method won't work."

Kang Ning originally thought that it would be fine if he hid, but now after hearing Chai An say that it didn't seem to be the case, he looked at Wang Yue nervously, hoping that Wang Yue had a way to avoid being found.

Shouhua was also a little nervous. She was worried that Wang Yue had no other options, so she started thinking about which people would be suitable for Kang Ning.

After hearing this, Wang Yue smiled and said, "People from the Five Cities Military Department don't dare to search all places, and Yang Xian can't enter all places.

For example, in the Eighth Prince's Palace, as long as Kang Ning follows my eldest disciple back to the palace to live for a period of time, Yang Xian will be powerless to find him.

For example, in my academy, if anyone dares to break in, I can just try out the dragon-patterned sword bestowed upon me by the Queen Mother to see if it works well.

So hiding people is a very simple matter. As long as Yang Xian doesn’t dare to look for them, there will be no problem.”

After listening to Wang Yue's words, Shouhua knew that these two places could guarantee the safety of her third sister, but compared to living in the palace, she still felt that it was safer to live in the academy.

After all, Kang Ning was a reason. An unmarried girl inexplicably lived in the palace, and others thought that the Eighth Prince had taken a concubine.

After all, the Eighth Prince had lost his wife a long time ago and had no son, so it was not impossible for him to want a son in his later years.

So Shouhua quickly said to Kang Ning, "Kang Ning, I think it would be better for you to stay in the academy. With the master protecting you, Yang Xian will have no choice but to return home in defeat."

Chai An looked at the academy where Shouhua invited Kang Ning to live. He felt inexplicably nervous and said almost subconsciously, "No!"

Shouhua originally saw that her sister was about to agree, so she was planning to take her sister downstairs to find housing, but when she suddenly heard Chai An say this, she felt a little confused.

So, she asked doubtfully, "Mr. Chai, what do you mean by this?"

Chai An actually wanted to say that Shouhua was just a concubine and could not be considered the mistress at all, so it was really inappropriate for Kang Ning to live with Wang Yue, and it would easily affect Kang Ning's reputation.

But he simply couldn't say these words. Chai An saw that everyone was looking at him and knew that if he said this he would offend people, but he couldn't think of any other solution for the moment.

So, Chai An was anxious and said quickly after gritting his teeth, "I think the engagement method is okay." Shouhua thought Chai An had some good ideas, but after a long time, she found out that it was Wang Yue who came up with this idea. She said helplessly, "Mr. Chai, how can we find such a good man to marry my sister in such a hurry? This is her lifelong matter and can't be decided so hastily. Let my sister stay here. As long as Yang Xian can't be found, my sister will be safe."

Chai An knew that if he didn't explain the reason, the matter would be over. This girl, whom he finally admired, would probably be completely out of his reach.

Therefore, he did not care about so much and said very straightforwardly, "Sister, in fact, through the business exchanges during this period, I admire the third girl very much. I intend to hire her as my wife and take charge of the household affairs. I really hope that you can say a few good words to my aunt. That's why I said that we can get married."

When Shouhua heard this, she was a little stunned, so she quickly turned around and looked at Kang Ning. She didn't know what the relationship between her sister and Chai An was?
Corning was subconsciously preparing to drink tea, and the tea was already at her mouth. Fortunately, she felt that it was not good to drink tea while listening to people talking, so she stopped. Otherwise, she would definitely choke.

She quickly put the cup down, then looked at Chai An in surprise and asked, "Master Chai, are you kidding? With your status, what kind of woman in the capital can't you marry? Why did you choose me?"

Of course, Kang Ning's words were a bit exaggerated. After all, the women of high officials and dignitaries in the capital would definitely look down on Chai An. It was just that she was flattering Chai An at this time, which showed that she also liked Chai An very much.

After hearing this, Chai An was indeed a little happy in his heart. He quickly said seriously,

“The third lady also knows the situation of my Chai family. My Chai family’s connections are getting worse day by day, and we can only make some achievements in business.

These noble ladies in the capital may be able to manage simple household affairs, but if they are asked to do business outside and deal with these trivial matters, I am afraid they cannot do it.

During this period, when the third girl was running the Wufulinmen main store, I really admired the ease with which she did things.

Plus, the girl looks very much to my liking, so I had this idea."

What Chai An said was very practical and well-reasoned, just to express his integrity.

When Kang Ning saw the other person was talking, he looked at her without any avoidance in his eyes, so she began to believe it a little.

So, she nodded and asked, "You are speaking very frankly, I will take it as a compliment. I am willing to agree to be engaged to you, but you and I have both schemed against each other's mothers, and I am really worried that it will be difficult for us to get along in the future."

Seeing that Kang Ning was willing to agree, Chai An was also afraid that something might happen, so he quickly assured her, "Miss, you are worrying too much. My mother is the same as your mother. Both lost their husbands at an early age and raised their children alone. They are the same kind of people. I think they will definitely get along well in the future. As for Miss, after you marry me, I will naturally take care of you. I will go and ask my mother for help, and I will definitely not embarrass Miss."

Shouhua didn't expect this to happen, but when he saw that Mr. Chai was speaking so seriously, he thought that he was sincerely asking to marry his sister.

But this was her sister's marriage after all, and she couldn't make a decision lightly, so she looked at Kang Ning and asked solemnly, "Third sister, this is your own lifelong event, you decide for yourself. I believe you also hope that you can marry a good family and live happily, so you don't have to consider anything else."

Kang Ning looked at Shou Hua, then at Chai An. She hesitated for a moment, then said seriously,
"I'm willing to give it a try!"

She said this, looked at Chai An again, and then added, "If he betrays me in the future, the worst that can happen is that we can divorce. I am not afraid that I will not be able to remarry in the future."

The reason why Kang Ning had this courage was entirely because of the example set by her sister. Because Shouhua was there, she could live such a happy life after being a widow, and she felt that she could do it too.

Shouhua of course understood why her sister suddenly became so confident. She really wanted to say that divorce was the worst thing to do, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Therefore, she could only look to Wang Yue for help, hoping that Wang Yue could help her make a decision.

Since Wang Yue saw through Chai An's thoughts, he smiled and asked, "Mr. Chai, what are your plans for the future?"

Everyone was confused. They were discussing Tai'an and Kangning's marriage, so why did Wang Yue suddenly change the subject?
Compared to Kang Ning and Shao Hua who could keep silent when they were confused, Chai An felt that this was Wang Yue testing him and also wanted to see his future plans.

So he asked seriously, "Sir, do you want to ask me if I want to take the imperial examination in the future?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said seriously, "Because your last name is Chai, it is useless for you to take the imperial examination. That's not what I meant."

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Chai An's face changed, but he did not raise any objection because he knew that the Zhao family would not allow someone like him, Chai, to pursue a career in politics.

When he thought of this, he looked at Corning nervously, really worried that Corning would reject him because of this.

Kang Ning saw Chai An looking at her. She probably understood what Chai An meant, so she said self-deprecatingly, "Our Li family is originally a merchant family. Compared with Master Chai An, we are not as good as him. So, I don't care whether you take the imperial examination or not. What I care about is your attitude towards me."

She said this as if it was a promise, expressing her attitude and wanting to hear Chai An's attitude.

Chai An was very moved when he heard this, and he felt that he had made the right decision by choosing Corning.

Wang Yue saw that Chai An and Kang Ning were so affectionate with each other that he knew they had made up their minds.

So, he smiled and said to Shouhua, "Since they love each other, you can go back and help Kangning negotiate the marriage.

As for Mr. Chai's future, we will discuss it later."

Shouhua agreed immediately after hearing this. She smiled and said to Kang Ning, "In that case, I will go back with you now."
