Chapter 793: The Disabled Young Master 5

Seeing the faint worry between Chu Pan'er's brows, Tang Wan deliberately asked, "Miss, what's wrong? Your future husband is quite handsome, too. Although there's something wrong with his legs, if you marry him, at least you won't have to worry about him going out and chasing after other women. That could be considered a benefit."

Hearing this, Chu Pan'er immediately glared at Tang Wan. "What do you know? What's so good about a cripple?"

Tang Wan sneered inwardly.

How dare you call my Jiantong a cripple?

Just for those two words, I'll make sure you and Li Shuai suffer a little more before I leave.

But the next moment, she softened her expression and said innocently, "But you and Young Master He already have a marriage agreement, Miss. Could it be that you don't want to marry him?"

Chu Pan'er felt a little guilty upon hearing this, but she quickly became indignant again. "So what? Surely I can't marry a cripple! Besides, this marriage was arranged after I was born. I didn't even know about it!"

Tang Wan narrowed her eyes slightly before nodding repeatedly. "Miss is right. But since the Young Master of the He family is disabled, I imagine it won't be easy for him to find a wife. He'll definitely insist on marrying you when the time comes. That way, you'll have no choice but to marry him."

Chu Pan'er was worried about precisely that.

For a moment, the crease between her brows deepened.

……

At this point, Tang Wan took out a storybook and handed it to Chu Pan'er. "All right, Miss, don't think about unhappy things for now. There will always be a way to solve things! I secretly asked Li Shuai to buy this storybook for me. If you're feeling bored, you can read it for some entertainment."

As soon as she heard that Li Shuai had bought the storybook, Chu Pan'er's eyes immediately turned toward it.

The next moment, as she accepted the book, she casually asked Tang Wan, "Who is Li Shuai?"

"Li Shuai is my neighbor! He's working here at the residence now, too. Miss, let me tell you, Li Shuai is really clever. He's gentle and knows how to handle things. All the girls on our street like him!" Tang Wan said with a beaming smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Pan'er was both delighted and filled with a tremendous sense of crisis.

"Really? Is there a girl he likes?" Chu Pan'er immediately pressed discreetly.

Tang Wan pretended not to notice anything and nodded seriously. "No. Although Li Shuai works as a servant, he's got very high standards! The Tofu Beauty on our street likes him, but he didn't agree to be with her!"

Only then did Chu Pan'er relax.

She thought to herself: It seems Menglang really is a devoted man. So many girls like him, yet he never fell for any of them. Instead, he fell in love with her at first sight.

Thinking this, Chu Pan'er felt that Li Shuai was even better.

She then waved her hand at Tang Wan. "All right, you can leave. I'll read for a while."

"Yes, Miss." Tang Wan promptly turned and left.

……

As soon as Tang Wan was gone, Chu Pan'er picked up the storybook and began reading.

She assumed that perhaps Li Shuai had thought she was bored staying at home all day, so he had specially asked Tang Wan to bring the book to her.

Thus, she read it even more intently.

And as she continued reading, Chu Pan'er's eyes gradually lit up.

This really was heaven helping me!

She had been worrying about what to do about her marriage, and Menglang had given her the perfect solution!

The storybook was also about a pair of lovers who were forcibly separated. In order for the young lady in the story to find happiness, her maid sacrificed herself and married the local tyrant in the young lady's place.

The young lady, meanwhile, left together with the scholar she loved and went on to live a happy life.
