TFWYH – Chapter 227 That Village Girl

More importantly, the Qin family’s girl was only one year older than Tang Wan; at that time she was only twelve.

And Tang Tiansheng? He was already eighteen.

So Tang Hongba acted on his own judgment. He didn’t take the words of two little girls seriously and married An family’s daughter to Tang Tiansheng.

Who knew… who could have expected…

For the first time, Tang Hongba felt that he was getting old and shouldn’t meddle in his children’s affairs anymore.

He thought An-shi was a good woman who, once married in, would manage the household well and take good care of his eldest son.

But in the end, An-shi turned out to be a troublemaker.

He thought his daughter would have no happiness marrying that weakling Ling Yu, but unexpectedly, his daughter and the weakling ended up living in perfect harmony.

So this time, he decided to respect the children’s wishes.

Tang Wan didn’t mind and nodded in agreement. “I’ll pick up my husband later, then go to the Qin family and ask. Once everything’s clear, you can get a matchmaker tomorrow to propose.”

“Good!” Tang Hongba responded.

That settled the matter.

Without waiting for Tang Tiansheng and Qin Suyun to come out, Tang Wan informed Tang Hongba and then left—

It was dismissal time at Qingshan Academy. Many students in their school uniforms walked out one after another.

Tang Wan arrived and stood at the gate.

She wondered whether her beautiful husband had already left.

She was just about to ask the gatekeeper when a surprised voice called out, “Wan-niang, what a coincidence!”

Tang Wan turned around, her brows subtly tightening, but she quickly returned to normal. “Miss Wei.”

“Why so distant? Just call me Ziyan!” Wei Ziyan walked toward her with a yellow-clad young lady, smiling as she hooked her arm around Tang Wan’s.

Today she was clearly dressed up on purpose. Her pink dress added a hint of charm to her delicate features. Her small face was rosy, her lashes long and curled, her crimson lips glossy and plump—she had managed to elevate her originally five-point beauty to an eight-point little beauty.

Tang Wan: …

Suddenly she remembered—she recently gave cosmetics to Yu Ziqing. Why were they being used on this woman?

Wei Ziyan noticed Tang Wan staring and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, though her face showed shyness. “Wan-niang, why are you staring at me like that?”

Tang Wan calmly praised, “Your makeup looks nice.”

Wei Ziyan froze.

Just the makeup looks nice?

“This woman is so rude. Makeup only looks good if the person looks good. I say Ziyan is beautiful—she’d look good with or without makeup,” the girl in yellow snorted.

Tang Wan nodded without even glancing at her. “Oh.”

Lesson learned.

You’re absolutely right.

The yellow-clad girl got angry when she saw Tang Wan ignoring her. “Who even are you?”

“Xiner, don’t be like that. This is Wan-niang—the benefactor who cured my younger brother,” Wei Ziyan quickly explained. After speaking, she added to Tang Wan, “Wan-niang, this is Miss Pan, Pan Xiner.”

Pan family?

Tang Wan’s brows moved slightly, and she finally looked at the yellow-clad girl.

Her clothes were nice, but her looks… not so much. Standing next to the radiant Wei Ziyan, she looked like a maidservant.

Pan Xiner, hearing the introduction, had a moment of realization. “So you’re that village girl!”

“Xiner! How can you talk like that?” Wei Ziyan frowned, clearly displeased.

Pan Xiner pouted unhappily. “But it’s true. Ziyan, why are you being so polite to her? Even if she cured your brother, Master Wei already paid her. You don’t owe her anything.”

Wei Ziyan’s brows furrowed even tighter. “Xiner, don’t—”
