“Well anyways, I want to marry Heize! Grandfather, help me talk to Heize. I’m willing to be a concubine,” Die’er replied with a pout.
The medicine king shook his head helplessly. “Alright, I’ll help you ask. However, even if Heize agrees to it, your parents may not. There are so many obstacles.”
“Father and Mother once said that when I grow up, I can decide who I want to marry,” Die’er said with a smile.
The medicine king couldn’t reject his beloved granddaughter’s request.
After dinner, the medicine king called Han Moze to his room.
“Ah Heize, how many wives do you plan to have in this lifetime?” He asked with a warm smile.
Han Moze smiled, so the medicine king called him to act as a matchmaker. Without hesitation, he rejected his proposal. “Grandfather Medicine King, I am perfectly content with Shuang’er and will not marry another.”
The medicine king furrowed his brows and sighed. “My granddaughter says she likes you and now that she’s reached a suitable age for marriage, I beg you marry Die’er. I can see that you are an honorable and loyal man, so you’ll definitely treat Die’er well.”
Han Moze’s face instantly dimmed. He was begging him? The medicine king had saved him, so in principle, he should accept his request. However, he simply had no desire to marry her, so he gritted his teeth and rejected the proposal. “Sir, I cannot accept your good will. Please forgive me for my rudeness.”
The medicine king was sunned but forced a smile. “Since you don’t want to marry, then forget it. I’m so old now, I can see things with an open mind and I understand the simple concept of poor consequences of forced love. You’d better head back. I’ll try to talk to Su Die and put an end to the matter.”
Han Moze put on a slight smile and nodded. “Thank you Grandfather Medicine King for being so understanding,” he said respectfully.
…
Soon after Han Moze left, Su Die headed for the medicine king’s room and asked in anticipation, “Grandfather, did Heize agree to marry me?”
The medicine grabbed his beard and let out a sigh. “Heize isn’t willing to marry you. It’s better if you give up,” he said.
Su Die was stunned, as she stumbled two steps back with red eyes.
“N-no… Brother Heize…” she cried with a trembling voice. Then, her eyes slightly widened and asked, “Grandfather, didn’t you save him? To pay you back, he should agree to it.”
The medicine king shook his head again and sighed. “Die’er, give it up. You and Heize will never happen. Heize clearly told me that he would only marry one person in his lifetime.”
“N-no…” Su Die ran out, crying.
The medicine king shut his eyes and took a deep breath before heading back into the room.
‘Die’er, I hope you can get over it soon.’
Su Die ran to her own room, lay on her bed, and cried non-stop. ‘Brother Heize, why are you unwilling to marry me?’
She cried into the middle of the night. Die’er made a decision. She absolutely had to marry Heize! Since she liked her, then she had to bravely go after him.
Outside of Su Die’s room, Feng Yuebai quietly leaned against the wall with tears down his face.
‘Junior Sister, how great would it be if you felt like this for me?’
When Feng Yuebai heard Su Die’s sobs come to a stop, he headed back in despair.
Liu Rushuang and Han Moze have recently been exploring the natural landscape, pavilions, and towers of the valley of the medicine king.
Liu Rushuang looked back at Han Moze and silently twitched the corner of her lips. “You like being with me this much?”
Han Moze walked ahead and replied with a smile. “Well of course. Unless, you’re not willing to?”
