Chapter 16
Jiang Xuan finally knew who the "Lan family fairy" that Wei Wuxian admired was. During Wei Wuxian's most difficult time.
After the Nightless Club, Jiang Xuan deduced this series of events over and over again according to Wen Ning's memories. No matter how she thought about it, it was all caused by a series of accidents. Every place was very natural, and there was not a single trace of man-made signs.
Jiang Cheng saw that his sister had been muttering non-stop, and advised, "Second sister, Abba and I have already carefully investigated this matter, there is nothing wrong with it, it should really be … Don't worry anymore."
Jiang Xuan had already thought about it for a long time, and after hearing what was said, she said, "Don't worry, it won't happen again."
Out of the four siblings, only her and Jiang Cheng were left. She also knew that Jiang Cheng blamed Wei Wuxian's death on her, and it was not good for her to persuade him. She could only try her best to not let her brother worry about her.
Thus, she changed the topic, "So, the person that Ah Xian admires is Hankō-kun, right?
From what I see, Nie Ming?
Originally, he wanted to directly kill Ah Xian, but it was he who made a move to stop him. He handed Ah Xian over to Kim family, and even sent someone to deliver a letter to us. "
"Thinking about it, at the Nightless Club, he also helped us resist those people who were clamoring to kill Ah Xian.
Ah Xian also frequently travels between Gusu and Yunmeng, he should have gone to visit Lan Wangji.
I have been together with Ah Xian all this time, and I actually didn't realize it before. "
"I'm afraid that even Ah Xian himself didn't realize it, let alone you."
Jiang Xuan comforted Jiang Cheng, "However, I think that Hankō-kun also has feelings for Ah Xian, right now, he wouldn't be in a better state than us. It is better to find an opportunity to go visit him, after all …"
Before she could finish, a servant came up and said, "Young Miss, there's a letter for you. It was delivered to the outside of Lotus Pier and was specifically addressed to you.
We've checked and found nothing unusual. "
Jiang Xuan took the letter, opened it carefully, and read it quickly. Her face was a little unsightly.
She didn't tell Jiang Cheng the contents of the letter either. She only said, "A friend came to visit me. I'll go over first. You can go ahead with your work."
Jiang Cheng didn't ask. He bowed and went back.
She watched as Jiang Cheng left. Without bringing anyone with her, she rode her sword to the small town outside Lotus Pier. She went up to a teahouse and arrived at the private room mentioned in the letter. She pushed the door open and entered. Facing the man in blue who was already sitting there, she said, "I wonder what Childe Jin has summoned me to discuss regarding the safety of the Jiang Family?"
Kim Kwang-yao bathed in the sunlight. The corners of his lips curled up gently, and his smile was like a spring breeze. "Second Miss Jiang, you've arrived. Take a seat first. Let's chat over tea."
Jiang Xuan didn't stand on ceremony. She sat across from him and took the tea he poured for her. She brought it to her lips and took a sip. Then she put it down and said, "What exactly does Childe Jin want to discuss?"
Kim Kwang-yao looked at her. His gaze was so gentle that it seemed like it could drip water. "Second Miss Jiang, it's too distant to call me that. It's better if you call me Ah Yao."
Jiang Xuan gently soothed the goosebumps that were rising up on her skin. She glanced at Kim Kwang-yao, hinting that if he had something to say, say it quickly. If not, scram.
Kim Kwang-yao stopped messing around and said, "Jin Ling isn't doing well."
Jiang Xuan's face immediately darkened.
Jin Ling was the child of her eldest sister and Jin Zixuan.
She knew that Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli were both dead. Jin Ling was just a baby, but she was the first successor of the Kim family. This made Kim Kwang-sun's illegitimate sons and nephews very unhappy. Kim Kwang-sun didn't necessarily want Jin Ling to be the successor. In other words, as long as he still had power, he didn't care which illegitimate son became Shaozong. Madame King was trapped in the harem, so she probably wouldn't be able to protect Jin Ling, whom her uncles were jealous of.
The Jiang Family had long expected this situation. They had previously proposed to let Jin Ling be raised in the Jiang Family. However, Madame King hated the Jiang Family for insisting on taking away Wei Wuxian and refusing. They didn't even consider whether Jin Ling could grow up in the Kim family.
However, the Jiang Family was only an external family. They couldn't interfere too much in the Kim family's affairs. There was really no other way.
Kim Kwang-yao saw Jiang Xuan's reaction and smiled. "But I have an idea. I wonder if Second Miss Jiang is willing to listen?"
"Just say it."
"The Jiang Family and the Kim family were originally close allies. Unfortunately, the Kim family, who could intervene in the Jiang Family's affairs, is no longer around. Since that's the case, why don't we contact them again?"
Jiang Xuan immediately understood what he meant. She frowned and pondered for a long time. She had to admit that this was a good idea.
If she married into the Jiang Family, she could protect her elder sister's only child. At the same time, she could separate herself from the Jiang Family. Moreover, now the Kim family had become the Immortal Governor's Mansion with the support of the Jiang Family. She didn't have to secretly plot anything in the future.
Therefore, she said to Kim Kwang-yao, "Since Childe Jin has come to Yunmeng, why don't you go to Lotus Dock and have a look?"
This was a hint for him to go directly to his parents to propose marriage. Kim Kwang-yao was still smiling, but he sighed in his heart. Looking at Jiang Xuan's appearance, she didn't think about the relationship at all. She just analyzed the pros and cons. He still had a long way to go.
However, he wasn't discouraged. There was still a long way to go. He should marry her first.
Therefore, he cupped his hands and said, "As I wish."

After hearing Kim Kwang-yao's intentions, Jiang Zongzhu put down his teacup and said, "I've also heard the siblings talk about Childe Jin. I admire Childe Jin's righteousness. However, this marriage isn't just about the younger generation. It's mainly about the marriage between the two families. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for a Childe Jin to do this." Jiang Zongzhu didn't mention this person at all. He definitely didn't like this person, so he sent him away first.
Kim Kwang-yao smiled bitterly and said, "It's my fault. It's just that I happened to be out on a night-hunt and met Second Miss Jiang by chance. After I found out about her worries, I wanted to fulfill my wish of many years. Therefore, I came to visit on a whim. I've caused trouble for the Clan Lord and Madam."
As he spoke, he recounted his experience with Jiang Xuan one by one. He successfully molded himself into a pitiful person who had been secretly in love with his goddess for many years and finally mustered the courage to propose marriage, only to be rejected.
He was eloquent and had an obedient and pleasant appearance. Jiang Zongzhu and Lady Yu's hearts ached for him. They felt that they had gone too far in the past and hurt such a good child's heart.
Of course, at the same time, they also felt that this child was blind to have fallen in love with their daughter.
Kim Kwang-sun also timely suggested that he wanted to meet Second Miss Jiang alone and tell her his feelings. Jiang Zongzhu and Lady Yu also hoped that their daughter could find a good man. Seeing that this child was deeply in love, they agreed. However, the two of them still watched from afar, thinking that as long as Jiang Xuan was willing, they would agree to this marriage.
The two of them didn't think that Jiang Xuan would have a better life after marrying Jin Ling. They simply hoped that their child would be happy.
Jiang Xuan saw Kim Kwang-yao and asked, "Did my parents agree?"
Kim Kwang-yao smiled and said, "I'm incompetent. I still have to ask Second Miss Jiang for help."
He then said, "I know what you want to do. You don't just want to take care of Jin Ling."
He walked forward and pulled Jiang Xuan's sleeve. "I will do it with you. We will finish this together. I also have the ability to protect myself. I will never leave you."
Jiang Xuan stared at him blankly, as if she didn't expect him to say this.
She only had a vague idea of what she wanted to do, but he said that he knew?
But looking into his eyes, she felt that he really knew.
Moreover, she had just lost her sister and junior brother. She was afraid of losing them again. He said that she didn't need to worry about him. He could protect himself and wouldn't let her lose them again.
This was the most moving love story she had ever heard.
Cough, she hadn't heard of love stories before, so she didn't want to think too much about it.
Jiang Zongzhu and Lady Yu didn't hear their conversation, but they understood what was going on. Now, they could finally add a touch of color to this family.
Kim Kwang-yao's words kept replaying in Jiang Xuan's mind. During dinner, Lady Yu called her several times, but she didn't respond. It was only when Jiang Cheng, who was sitting next to her, patted her that she came back to her senses.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she felt a little embarrassed. Jiang Zongzhu and Lady Yu were relieved that their second child was finally acting like a girl. So when Kim Kwang-yao came again the next day, Jiang Zongzhu was already acting like a father-in-law.
He took a few sips of tea unhurriedly and put down the teacup slowly.
Jin GuangYao wanted to say, 'Sect Master Jiang, you're still young, don't take things too hard, don't act like a rich man.' However, he still put on a nervous expression.
Jiang Zongzhu was very satisfied. He asked, "What do you think of Jin Ling?"
Kim Kwang-yao said sincerely, "I promise that the Clan Lord of the Kim family after me will definitely be a nephew of the Jiang family."
He didn't need to mention which nephew of the Jiang family was. If Jiang Xuan married Kim Kwang-yao, he would definitely be the Young Master. Jin Ling wouldn't even have a glamorous appearance, so he would be safer.
On the other side, Lady Yu pulled Jiang Xuan and asked, "Tell me honestly, do you like Kim Kwang-yao?
Or are you marrying him because of Jin Ling? "
Jiang Cheng said anxiously from the side, "Sis, you have to think this through. This is a matter of a lifetime!"
Jiang Xuan said blankly, "I, I don't know."
Madam Yu was satisfied and said, "Prepare to get married!"
Straight Jiang Cheng:!!!

When Kim Kwang-yao returned to the Kim family, he went to see Kim Kwang-sun and told him that he liked the second daughter of the Jiang family and wanted Kim Kwang-sun to propose marriage.
Kim Kwang-sun was a smart person. When he heard this, he knew that Kim Kwang-yao had already discussed it with the Jiang family.
Actually, he didn't really want Kim Kwang-yao to be Shaozong. His status was too low. However, the Jiang family had already expressed their attitude. Moreover, if Jiang Er became the wife of the head of the family, he would also be satisfied. Thus, he arranged for people to first complete the ceremony for Kim Kwang-yao to become the Young Master. Then, he would go to the Jiang family to propose marriage.
The news of the marriage between the two families was like a bucket of cold water that poured over Madame King from head to toe.
Originally, she was angry at the Jiang family because of her son's death. Later, she was afraid that Jin Ling would be closer to the Jiang family, so she didn't allow the Jiang family to visit her son. She felt that the Jiang family would definitely care about this nephew of theirs. Now, reality gave her a hard slap in the face. The Jiang family really didn't care about this nephew of theirs and supported the son of a prostitute.
She panicked and hurriedly contacted Lady Yu, wanting to mend their relationship. However, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no reply at all.
