  Wang Cheng's family was poor, and his talent was only known to a few people. In the Imperial Academy, he had a bad reputation for always tearing books and being punished. Many scholars were annoyed by Wang Cheng's behavior, as they valued books more than anything else. The Ding family had been renowned for their love of learning for generations, and Old Master Ding had once been an imperial tutor, enjoying great prestige among scholars. However, it was unlikely that he would know someone like Wang Cheng. Looking at the Ding family's carriage, the person sitting inside should be a lady. Could it be that one of the Ding family's young ladies had also taken a liking to Wang Cheng? Was she planning to compete with Qian Dajie for his affections?

  That was indeed a lively scene. From the original body's limited memories, Ding Yu knew that the eldest lady of the Ding family was also the mistress of the house and a very proper person. Ding Yu had always been in awe of her stepmother. How could someone like that watch as the young lady of the Ding family went out to fight for a husband with the Qian family? Ding Yu couldn't help but feel that something was off about this matter, shrouded in mystery and fog. Although the great emperor said he didn't suppress merchants, the status of merchants had risen compared to what Ding Yu remembered from history. However, scholars were high-minded and looked down on merchants. The old master of the Ding family was a traditional scholar, and how could he possibly look favorably upon the Qian family, who reeked of copper? Even if Wang Cheng became the prime minister in the future, the old master would still not approve of him.

  Qian Zhao grabbed Ding Rou's wrist and pulled her along as she ran downstairs. "Come with me to see her." Qian Zhao couldn't explain why she was pulling Ding Rou, but she had a feeling that only Ding Rou could persuade her older sister, Qian Qing. Qian Zhao's intuition was usually sharp, which was also why she opposed forcing Wang Cheng into marriage, relying on an inexplicable feeling that the Qian family would suffer a great calamity because of this matter.

  Qian Zhao pulled Ding Yu down the stairs, although Ding Yu was being dragged by Qian Zhao, her mouth belonged to herself and she didn't speak. Could Qian Zhao still force Ding Yu to look at him? Ding Yu had a good impression of Qian Zhao, the rich young lady wasn't arrogant, and Ding Yu also planned to cooperate with the Qian family, but the premise was not to provoke trouble. Ding Yu's own affairs were busy enough, she didn't have the mood to care about other people's business, especially in front of the Ding family members. Ding Yu thought of the horse carriage parked on the side and put on her veil, this time no matter who it was from the Ding family, they wouldn't be able to see her face.

  Ding Rou didn't expect that Qian Zhao, who was panting slightly after walking a few steps, would have such great strength. He pulled her out of the teahouse without letting go, and Ding Rou struggled during this time but was suppressed by Qian Zhao. At that time, Ding Rou was ten years old and Qian Zhao was fourteen years old.

  Fortunately, before leaving the tea house, Ding Ruo put on a veil. Ding Ruo thought that people from the Ding family would recognize her, but with the veil covering her face, plus Ding Ruo's temperament at this time was different from before, whether in the Ding mansion or in the village, it was not very similar to the original Ding Ruo. The difference in temperament, combined with an ordinary appearance, would also give people a kind of illusion that she was not the same person. Ding Ruo wasn't too worried about being recognized by the people from the Ding family.

  It was beyond Ding Ruo's expectation that the person sitting in the carriage was none other than Third Miss Ding Min, with whom she had a past grudge. Even if Ding Ruo were to turn into ashes, she would still remember her. Moreover, just now when they passed by the wonton stall, Ding Ruo saw Ding Min wearing an extra hat and not having changed clothes - how could Ding Min not recognize her? Ding Min's hand grasped the carriage curtain tightly, her face twisted in a scowl as she stared at Ding Ruo. Hong Xiang, who was attending to her, felt a shiver run down his spine - he had never seen the normally gentle and kind-hearted Third Miss reveal such an expression before. Was it all for Wang Gongzi?

  "Third Miss, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but Young Master Wang may not be worthy of you. Moreover, with the involvement of the Rong and Wang families, Madam will not agree."

  Ding Min opened the car curtain, revealing a peaceful and noble smile. "Hong Shuang, don't underestimate Wang Cheng. For now, it's hard to tell, but in the future... even if he becomes very good, I still won't look up to him."

  Ding Min was furious and resentful, but Ding Rou suddenly appeared, making it difficult for her to help Wang Cheng. She had tried every means to leave the Ding residence, but Ding Rou kept interfering. Wang Cheng was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment; he would never forget those who had helped him, nor would he forgive those who had wronged him. Ding Min was torn, unsure whether to get off the carriage or not, her hatred for Ding Rou growing stronger by the minute. Indeed, they were arch-enemies from a past life, why couldn't she just eliminate her once and for all?

  "Miss Qian, I won't marry into your family."

  "Wang Cheng, is there still a way out if you don't enter the yin marriage? Are you not worried that your mother will die from illness due to lack of money for medicine?"

  Ding Rou saw that Wang Cheng was trying his best to endure, the muscles on his face were trembling with anger. Ding Rou asked: "Is she the female friend you mentioned?"

  "No, it's my sister, Ding Rou. I'm sorry for deceiving you, but I didn't want to tarnish her reputation." Qian Zhao was extremely embarrassed, she never expected that her elder sister would be so reckless, and this was in front of the tea house, did the Qian family still want to save face?

  "A merchant's daughter, what a good match."

  Wang Cheng's words caused Qian Qing and Qian Zhao to change their expressions at the same time. Ding Rou shook her head and said to Wang Cheng, who was still proud, "Can you two find a quiet place to continue discussing this matter?"

  Qian Qing, who had been standing in front of Wang Cheng all along, turned around, and it was only then that Ding Rou got a clear look at her appearance. She looked similar to Qian Zhao, and at first glance, she could tell they were probably close sisters. Judging from Qian Qing's age, she seemed two years older than Qian Zhao, with raised eyebrows and less of Qian Zhao's gentleness, giving off an air of arrogance.

  "Who is it?"

  Qian Zhao pulled Qian Qing back and said in a low voice: "Sister, she is Ding Rou, my new friend."

  "She is my sister, Qian Qing."

  "Hmm, Miss Qian, I just think it's a bit improper to discuss this matter at the entrance of the teahouse. Do you want everyone to know?"

  Qian Qing's eyes reddened, the usually spoiled and pampered Miss Qian, who always got what she wanted, was rejected by Wang Cheng in such a humiliating manner. She couldn't bear to show her face, especially with the mocking gazes of the people around her. Qian Qing felt a deep pain, "I just took a liking to Young Master Wang, did I do anything wrong? I was trying to help him."

  Ding Rou thought for a moment and asked: "Qian Zhao, is your mother at home?"

  Qian Zhao's eyes also reddened, "My mother passed away when I was four years old, and my father did not remarry."

  "No wonder." Qianying, who had no mother to teach her and was spoiled by her father, would naturally not care about etiquette. I remember reading in a book that in ancient times, when arranging marriages, girls without mothers were often looked down upon by their husbands' families. Didn't Lin Daiyu from "Dream of the Red Chamber" leave her father's home for the Jia household? The Lin family wasn't poor and couldn't afford to raise a daughter, but Lin Ruhai, who didn't want to remarry, thought that Grandmother Jia could teach and raise Lin Daiyu, showing just how important a mother's teachings are.

  Qian's family is wealthy and noble, so they would ask their mother to take care of Qian's sisters, but how could a servant girl manage the young lady's affairs? Qian Qing was a spoiled young lady who had been doted on by her father, Ding Rou thought that she wasn't a bad person at heart, what she lacked was someone to wake her up and tell her that forcing Wang Cheng into a marriage was wrong.

  "Qian Xiaojie, what qualifications do you have to let Wang Gongzi marry? A merchant's daughter, indeed has no dignity."

  Ding Rou's fist clenched tightly, and her voice was very familiar - could it be Third Miss of the Ding Manor?
