Chapter 3686 A Lonely Man and a Widow Living Together in the Same Room

"You might starve to death in three days."

"My father still cares about me and won't really let me starve for three days. He is also angry with me."

"If he really cared about you, he shouldn't have forced you to get married." Jin Lan glanced at her pretty face, "You look still very young."

"In an ordinary family, I can get married at my age." Hong Luan lowered his head and slowly ate the cake, "I'm not a person who likes to disobey my parents, but if I really get married, the Wei family will no longer be able to compete with Nanping County. The palace is no longer involved."

"Although Mr. Wei values ​​​​love and justice, he is a bit pedantic. Women do not have to follow the same path. As an official, you only need to ask for orders from the people. Why should you follow a prince and refuse to look back?"

"I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. I really don't know what to do."

"Miss Wei, don't worry. I will find an opportunity to talk to your father."

"No." Hong Luan said hurriedly, "Master Xiao Jin, to tell you the truth, my father is very hostile to the Jin family. Even my brother and I are not allowed to go near your home. If you want to talk to him, he won't I’ll give you a good face.”

"It doesn't matter." Jin Lan said softly, "Miss Wei, I can't bear to see something happen to your family. Just trust me and give me a few days."

Hong Luan hesitated: "Master Xiao Jin, I don't know what virtue or ability I have to allow someone like you to help."

Jin Lan looked at her.

Hong Luan felt his gaze and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him.

Their eyes met, and after a moment, Hong Luan looked away, the tips of her ears turning red.

Jin Lan was also a little uncomfortable, but she was able to remain calm.

Soon they all realized that the current situation was indeed inappropriate.

Late at night, a man and a woman were alone in the same room, which was also Hongluan's boudoir.

This is already illegal.

In order to avoid further embarrassment, Jin Lan put down the tea cup and stood up, trying to use a gentle tone that would not scare her and said: "Miss Wei, I rested earlier. I will leave now."

Hong Luan then stood up, walked him to the door, and said, "It's my family's fault, Mr. Xiao Jin. Please don't force Mr. Xiao Jin. It will only drag you down."

Jin Lan smiled and said: "I just had a chat with your father and gave him some advice. Don't worry."

After a pause, he said: "As for the girl's marriage..."

"I won't marry. Fortunately, there is still some time, and I will try to persuade them to change their mind."

"Then I'll leave first." Jin Lan glanced at her face again before opening the door and going out.

Hong Luan followed him out and looked outside, but he was gone.

The gentle words are still in my ears, but there is only snow falling in front of my eyes.

Hong Luan couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Two days later, after going to court, Jin Lan found an opportunity and stopped Wei Heng's sedan in an alley.

When Wei Heng looked over and saw it was him, he couldn't help but frown: "Master Xiao Jin, what do you mean?"

Jin Lan jumped out of the carriage and said, "I have something to say to Mr. Wei. It's not convenient to talk here. I wonder if I can move?"

Wei Heng said in a deep voice: "If it's a business matter, we might as well discuss it in court tomorrow morning. If it's a private matter, I'm sorry, I, Wei Heng, have nothing private to talk about with Mr. Xiao Jin."

Jin Lan sneered: "Master Wei is so clear-cut between public and private affairs? Why do you want to help Prince Nanping win people's hearts?"

"Master Xiao Jin, don't rely on your youth and arrogance to say such slanderous words! I have always been magnanimous in my work and conduct, and I am worthy of heaven, earth and conscience!"
