Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Rejecting A Marriage Proposal
When the other matchmaker found out that Duan Yixin was back, the first matchmaker was already standing in front of her with a bright smile and asked politely, “Young Lady, are you Miss Duan?”

Duan Yixin and Chi Xiyou turned to look at the matchmaker at the same time. The next second, the bright red dress on the matchmaker’s body stung their eyes.

Duan Yixin blinked a few times before nodding her head, “May I ask who you are, Madam?”

When the matchmaker heard Duan Yixin’s polite words, she nodded with satisfaction and thought, ‘Mhm, this young lady is not bad. She has a good upbringing and is polite. She also doesn’t behave like the average village woman.’

The matchmaker looked at Duan Yixin, her eyes full of approval, “Everyone calls me Matchmaker Wang.”

After getting her name, Duan Yixin asked, “Matchmaker Wang, are you here to propose marriage?”

Hearing this, Matchmaker Wang’s eyes lit up, and she said, “Yes. I’m here on behalf of the Li family from the neighboring village. Can we come in for a cup of tea and a chat?”

Duan Yixin had no intention of getting married in this world because she still loved Captain Yu, so she politely rejected Matchmaker Wang.

“I’m sorry, Matchmaker Wang. I have no plans to get married for the time being.” She said politely.

After saying that, she looked at the other matchmakers and said, “Everyone, I’m sorry that your trip was in vain, but please return.”

Before the matchmakers could speak, Duan Yixin glanced at Chi Xiyou. Looking into her eyes, Chi Xiyou knew that she had something to ask him and followed her into the house. Seeing Chi Xiyou close the low wooden door, Matchmaker Wang knew that her trip was in vain.

The other matchmakers looked at Matchmaker Wang and asked, “Matchmaker Wang, what is the relationship between Miss Duan and that young man?”

Matchmaker Wang didn’t even have time to ask, so how could she know the answer to that question? She shook her head and said, “Before I had time to ask, Miss Duan had already left.”

Leaving these words behind, Matchmaker Wang turned and walked away. Although the marriage talks failed, she still had to go to the Li family and tell them that Duan Yixin had rejected their marriage proposal.

Inside the house, Duan Yixin looked at Chi Xiyou and asked, “Young Master Chi, it seems you know the reason why those matchmakers suddenly came to my house.”

Chi Xiyou nodded and asked, “Xin Xin, do you really know nothing about the rumors circulating outside?”

Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “Mhm, I really don’t know.”

Looking at her curious eyes, Chi Xiyou sighed and said, “You’d better go out and socialize more often with the villagers.”

When Chi Xiyou was still sighing, Duan Yixin put a cup of water in front of him and said, “I don’t have time to go out.”

Chi Xiyou shook his head helplessly when he heard her answer and said, “The reason why those matchmakers are here is because of your land.”

Duan Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

He took a sip of water and said, “When the official came to measure the land, many people saw it. Not long after, a rumor spread like wildfire around the village that you were the best candidate to be a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.”

Recalling his mother’s anxiety these past few days, he added, “Because of this rumor, my mother can’t sleep well these days, fearing that someone will plot against you and force you to get married. She also said that if those people really dare to come to force you to get married, she will tell everyone that we have been engaged since we were babies.”

Duan Yixin thought for a while and said, “I know wealth will attract people’s greed. But why do they think I am the best candidate to be their daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law? Are they not afraid that if I marry their son or grandson, I will treat them like servants because I am richer than them?”

Chi Xiyou glanced at her and replied softly, “No. Because you are an orphan.”

Seeing Duan Yixin raising her eyebrows, Chi Xi said, “Without your natal family, those people think they can bully you, and you won’t dare to disobey them after you marry into their family.”

When Duan Yixin heard this, she rolled her eyes and thought, ‘I don’t know where they got their confidence. The way these people think is really weird. Or maybe it’s because the people in this world have a deeply ingrained belief that women have a lower status than men?’

While Duan Yixin was thinking, Chi Xiyou sneered, “It’s a pity that they forgot that my Chi family is also your natal family. If they dare to plot against you and force you to marry, I won’t let them off.”

Duan Yixin looked at his angry face and thought, ‘Obviously, since I came to this world, I have never regarded him as my family. Why is he still so nice to me? Is it because he thinks I am the original Duan Yixin? Or is there a reason why he and his family always say they are my family?’

Chi Xiyou saw her sit there deep in thought and said, “Xin Xin, just stay at home these days.”

Duan Yixin raised her eyes to look at him and asked, “Why? Is something going to happen these days?”

Chi Xiyou nodded, lowered his voice, and said, “It seems that the bandits will attack again in the next few days. But I don’t know if they will attack our village again or target other villages since our village has not recovered from the last attack.”

Hearing what he said, Duan Yixin’s eyes flickered. She looked at Chi Xiyou and asked, “Where did you get this news?”

Chi Xiyou was silent for a few seconds before saying, “When I went to Chun Shan Town this morning, I overheard the conversation of the customers dining in Tian Xiang Pavilion.”
