Do Not Despise a Poor Young Man

"You can continue with the job application process. I'll go in and find my father. Young Master Ye Lang, please rest in the side hall for a while and we'll treat him well!" After understanding the situation, the head of the family went to discuss it with his father. There were some things he needed to ask his father before speaking.

"Sister! Do you know what Half Jade Pendant is? Why does Uncle look so nervous?" Debbie asked, a little confused. This situation puzzled her.

"Let's go, let's go with Father to find Grandpa!" The Most Beautiful Girl frowned, then pulled Debbie away. Even though Debbie wanted to stay and mock Ye Lang, she was forcibly dragged away.

Debbie, don't go near him! If he takes a liking to you, you'll be in big trouble!

The Most Beautiful Girl thought to herself, "She seems to know about this agreement. That's why she pulled Debbie away. She was afraid that Ye Lang would take a liking to the two of them and make demands. Would the two of them still have to marry him?"

"You're here, very good. I was planning to call you out!" The patriarch seemed relieved to see Debbie and the other girl come out. It seems his thoughts were similar to those of the Most Beautiful Girl; they were both afraid that Ye Lang would take a liking to the two of them.

He didn't want anyone from his Hader Family to marry a poor commoner like Ye Lang, dressed in coarse linen clothes. He wouldn't let anyone from his Lineage marry Ye Lang. Clearly, he looked down on Ye Lang, or rather, he looked down on the commoners that Ye Lang represented.

"Huh?" Debbie was a little confused and didn't understand what they were talking about.

Soon, the three arrived at Migen's residence and told him that someone from the Migen Ye Clan had arrived with the jade pendant.

When he heard the news, Migen was shocked, as if he was very surprised. He thought that given Ye Sheng's situation, no one else would come with the jade pendant.

However, now that he was here, he was prepared to face the situation and went to see Ye Lang immediately.

On the way to the side hall, the head of the family had already spoken with Migen and told Migen his thoughts. Migen agreed to this and said that they would compensate the Ye Clan with three conditions to ensure that the Ye Clan would have no worries about food and clothing.

If you want to get into an important department of the empire, they can also find a way to recommend you!

As for the marriage agreement, they tried to find a way to get it off the table. They didn't want to marry their women into such a poor Lineage. Even if they were nobles, they were poor nobles. They didn't want their women to suffer, and most importantly, they didn't want to lose face.

Migen found it a bit strange. His old friend had been through so much and hadn't asked him for anything, so why was he sending someone over now? Was it for the sake of the next generation?

"Let me make this clear first, I will absolutely not marry that idiot. He's awful, poor, and dull-witted!" After learning the whole story, Debbie expressed her thoughts very directly.

She was also one of Ye Lang's choices. If she was chosen, he didn't know if his Lineage would abandon her and sacrifice her happiness to protect the Lineage's reputation.

I believe that if Ye Lang wanted to force himself to marry someone, there were ways to do so. He could simply release a message saying that the Hader Family was untrustworthy, and that would make the Hader Family give in.

The Hader Family is now one of the most powerful Lineage in the empire; they can't afford to lose face like this!

"Don't worry, I'll let him choose three conditions!" the patriarch said.

"Don't force him. If he doesn't give up, let him choose one from his family..." Migen said at this moment.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

After Migen said that, Debbie and the other two reacted very strongly; they felt that this was unacceptable.

"I only told him to choose someone from his family, not you. I'll just randomly choose a maid to be my goddaughter. Anyway, he's not Ye Sheng's biological grandson," Migen said with a smile.

"That makes sense!" the patriarch nodded.

"Oh, I was so scared!" Debbie patted her chest.

"..."

"Ye Lang, hello, I am Migen!"

When Migen and the others entered the side hall, they saw Ye Lang secretly eating the snacks on the table. After hearing Migen's words, Ye Lang seemed to choke.

"Cough cough..." Ye Lang tapped his chest, picked up the teapot, and took a few sips of tea.

"Pfft..." Debbie found Ye Lang's expression amusing and couldn't help but laugh. But immediately, she changed back to her cold expression, as if she was afraid that Ye Lang would notice her.

"Hello!" Ye Lang politely bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

Migen gestured for them to drop the formalities, then continued, "Ye Lang, what is your relationship with that old man Ye Sheng?"

"I am a distant relative of that old man. I learned swordsmanship from him for a few years when I was a child. I have been wandering the world ever since. When I went to the old man this time, I found that he was dying. Before he died, he gave me this thing and asked me to give it to you to fulfill your agreement!" Ye Lang casually threw the Half Jade Pendant to Migen.

"Old man?" That sounds like he's not very respectful to his elders. A commoner is a commoner.

"What? That old man Ye Sheng is dead?" At this moment, Migen did not notice Ye Lang's way of addressing Ye Sheng; he only paid attention to Ye Lang's words about Ye Sheng's death.

"Yes!" Ye Lang nodded.

Migen remained silent for a while before asking Ye Lang, "What did he want to say to you?"

"Yes! He made me inherit his title and also made me fulfill his promise to you, saying that one of your granddaughters, Xi Er, is quite good, and that I should marry her!" Ye Lang answered truthfully.

"..." Upon hearing this, the Most Beautiful Girl's face immediately changed, turning very pale.

It was obvious that she was the Xi Er that Ye Lang had mentioned, and also one of the Four Great Beauties of the Aila Empire.

"Thank goodness it wasn't me, Xi Er. Wait, sis, is he talking about you? No way, you can't marry my sister!!" At first, Debbie was happy that she hadn't been chosen, but then she suddenly realized that Xi Er seemed to be the Most Beautiful Girl next to her, so she immediately objected.

"Young Master Ye Lang, please change your terms. My daughter already has someone she loves!" the family head said calmly.

If Ye Lang had observed carefully, he would have discovered that the patriarch was lying, because the Most Beautiful Girl's reaction would not have been like that if she had someone she liked; instead, she would have reacted much more intensely.

"What conditions? I didn't say anything about conditions. And you, when did I ever say I was going to marry your sister?" Ye Lang said, pointing at Debbie's nose. Of course, this was also because Debbie was pointing at his nose.

Ye Lang's words left everyone present confused.

"Didn't you just say you were going to marry my sister?" Debbie asked first. At this moment, the head of the family felt that it was actually not bad to have Debbie around. There were some things he couldn't ask aloud, but Debbie would do it for him.
