For so many years, Yunxiang had become more and more "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" under Siya's training.
Yunxiang came to the Bai Family this time to propose marriage. Although Master Bai and Madam Bai were still angry because of the previous rumor, in the end, they only gave Yunxiang a hard time and agreed.
Who let their daughter fall in love with this kid?!
And no matter what, they watched Yunxiang grow up since he was a child. They knew him well, and he had been "trained" since he was a child. How could he bully their daughter?
After getting the approval of the two elders of the Bai Family, Yunxiang immediately went back to inform Pinhui. Then, he found a matchmaker to go to the Bai Family to propose marriage the next day.
On the way back to the Exhibition Garden, Yunxiang was once again glad. Fortunately, Zeyu was now in Shanghai to deal with the previous factory problems. Otherwise, if Zeyu heard the previous rumor, coupled with the fact that he came to propose marriage, he would definitely deal with him.
When Pinhui heard that Yunxiang said that the Bai Family agreed to the marriage, she was so happy that she wanted to burn incense to the Bodhisattva or something.
Although she knew that the two families had a tacit understanding about this marriage, she always felt uneasy in her heart before it was settled. Now, she could finally rest assured.
When Zhan Zuwang came to Pinhui's room in the evening, Pinhui mentioned Yunxiang's marriage to Zhan Zuwang.
Yunxiang was now twenty-one years old. He was one year older than Yunfei when he got married. However, Zhan Zuwang seemed to have forgotten that he still had a son who was not married. He never said anything.
In fact, Zhan Zuwang really did forget.
Zhan Zuwang only remembered that he still had a son who was not married when he heard the rumor.
Fortunately, at this time, even if he heard the previous rumor, because Ji Skybow was close to Yunfei since childhood and had the nickname "Yunfei's Little Shadow", Zhan Zuwang did not think much of it.
In Zhan Zuwang's heart, Yunfei's things were Yunfei's. Even if Yunfei did not want it, it would still be Yunfei's. It would never be Yunxiang's.
Moreover, Yunfei and Yunxiang had already divided the assets. Ji Skybow was General Manager Ji's daughter, and General Manager Ji loved Skybow the most. Zhan Zuwang was actually afraid that General Manager Ji would play tricks in the future if Skybow married Yunxiang.
He casually responded to Pinhui with a few words and let Pinhui do as she saw fit.
He only needed to wait for Pinhui to tell him when the betrothal gifts were sent. At that time, he would add something to Yunxiang's betrothal gifts.
Pinhui had long known Zhan Zuwang's character. She did not expect anything from him. She only hoped that they would not cause trouble for Yunxiang. Therefore, Zhan Zuwang did not care about anything, and Pinhui was happy to have peace.
The next morning, Yunxiang's matchmaker went to the Bai family. Because the two families had a tacit agreement, the matchmaker's visit was actually just a formality.
However, because they were afraid of complications, Yunxiang and Pinhui immediately discussed the wedding date with the two elders of the Bai family. In the end, they decided on the nearest auspicious day, which was the eighth of the next month.
It was only 20 days away from now.
Because of the urgency of time, Yunxiang, Pinhui, and the Bai family were very busy every day. On the contrary, Siya, the bride, was like a person who had nothing to do all day.
With such a big movement, Wei Mengxian naturally heard the news.
However, after Shen Yinghua's death, because Wei Mengxian's "weak body", Zhan Zuwang still gave the right to manage the family to Pinhui.
Pinhui was afraid that Wei Mengxian would cause trouble for her son's wedding, so she gave an order early on that no one was allowed to "talk too much in front of First Madam and disturb her peace."
Therefore, Wei Mengxian only learned from the movements made by Yunxiang and Pinhui that Yunxiang was preparing to get married, but she didn't know which family's young lady he was marrying.
It was just that in Wei Mengxian's view, Yunxiang was the second young master of the Zhan family, but now in Tong City, who didn't know that the Zhan family had already divided the property? Yunxiang only had 10% of the Zhan family's property. In Wei Mengxian's view, this was just enough to make ends meet. Moreover, Yunxiang didn't have the slightest ability. Even those properties would be squandered by him sooner or later.
Maybe he had already squandered it all now, so he wanted to marry a wife. In fact, he was coveting the bride's dowry!
In this way, no good family would be willing to marry their daughter to Yunxiang.
However, although she didn't like Yunxiang and that unknown family's daughter, Wei Mengxian still didn't want Yunxiang to marry the girl he found himself.
Wei Mengxian had long planned to marry that jinx, Ji Skybow, to Yunxiang.
Originally, she wanted to let Yunfei marry Skybow so that Steward Ji could help Yunfei in the future. However, who would have thought that Ji Skybow was a jinx? Whoever got involved with him would be jinxed.
She also blamed herself for not thinking of it before. After all, that Ji Skybow had jinxed her mother to death as soon as she was born!
She pitied Yunfei and her grandson who died at birth. They were jinxed by this jinx.
It was only because of Ji Skybow's identity and her current state that she couldn't touch her, but she wouldn't let her have an easy time.
Wasn't that jinx a good match for that vile spawn? With Yunxiang's bad temper, Ji Skybow would have to suffer in the future. Furthermore, Skybow only had her Yunfei in his heart. She didn't believe that there was any man who could stand his wife having another man in her heart.
Originally, everything was fine. First, she had someone say something about that vile spawn growing up and preparing to get married when Skybow didn't walk. Then, she called Steward Ji over when Ji Skybow came to pay his respects to her and discussed Ji Skybow's marriage with him. After all, Ji Skybow was already so old and could be considered an old lady.
After confirming that Ji Skybow heard it, Ji Skybow came over after Steward Ji left. He suppressed his disgust and pulled her aside to tell her some interesting things about her when she was young.
He deliberately talked about how Yunxiang would strangely bully her to get her attention when they were young.
As expected, within two days, Skybow couldn't help but run over to Yunxiang.
Even the heavens were helping her. When Ji Skybow was talking to that vile spawn, a little girl with a big mouth actually heard it.
Although Pinhui reacted quickly and suppressed the rumors in the estate, she still let Mother Qin spread it outside.
Originally, she only needed to wait for Steward Ji to lose his cool and say a few words to show her kindness and virtue. Then, she would let her husband make the decision to marry that jinx to that vile spawn, Yunxiang.
A servant and a vile spawn, wasn't this a perfect match?
Moreover, she could also use this opportunity to make Steward Ji owe her a favor.
Who would have thought that Yunxiang would be able to find someone willing to marry him despite all the rumors outside?
Hmph — — she definitely wasn't the daughter of a good family. Otherwise, who would be willing to give their daughter to someone with no future and no ability?
But, no! I've thought about it for so long and planned for so long. I can't just let it go like this.
I have to think of a good way.
In the afternoon, Wei Mengxian used the excuse that she wasn't feeling well to invite Zhan Zuwang to her room.
Wei Mengxian first showed concern for "poor Skybow" for a while. Then, she mentioned that Yunxiang wasn't young anymore and should be preparing to start a family. It was a pity that her official mother's health wasn't good and she didn't notice this problem before. She really shouldn't have done so.
Zhan Zuwang was very touched. He felt that Wei Mengxian was truly virtuous and magnanimous.
Then, Wei Mengxian led him to talk about some interesting things that happened when Yunxiang and Skybow were young.
In the end, Wei Mengxian mentioned that Yunxiang and Skybow had been friends since they were young. They also knew each other very well. They were a "talented man and beautiful woman" and were very well-matched.
Zhan Zuwang lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, he sighed.
"I originally wanted to let Yunfei take in Skybow after Yunfei's official son was born. Yunfei is a scholar and has a noble character. However, he doesn't understand the dirty business matters. Thus, I thought that when Yunfei takes in Skybow in the future, One Day, Steward Ji would wholeheartedly help Yunfei. Moreover, we watched Skybow grow up. He has the most gentle and considerate personality. Even if he has his own child in the future, he wouldn't have any bad thoughts. "
Wei Mengxian saw that Zhan Zuwang had the same thoughts as her and that he was wholeheartedly thinking for Yunfei. She felt very sweet in her heart.
However, Skybow was a jinx. She definitely wouldn't let that jinx touch her son.
"I understand Lord's intentions. However, the current situation — — Skybow really can't wait any longer. Lord knows that I watched Skybow grow up. I don't have a daughter, so I've always treated her as my own daughter. Seeing her crying face every day makes my heart ache. Moreover, with Skybow's current reputation — — sigh — — if she were to marry outside, I wouldn't feel at ease with anyone. I'm afraid that someone with bad intentions would marry her for Skybow's dowry. When that time comes, Skybow will be alone outside. With her temperament, even if she is bullied, she won't say a word. After thinking about it, Yunxiang is the most suitable. If Skybow marries over, it will be in front of us. This way, I can be at ease. Moreover, Lord just said that Skybow's temperament is the most gentle and considerate. Her appearance is also predetermined. Marrying Yunxiang won't be a disgrace to Yunxiang. "
Wei Mengxian's words were touching. She had the heart of a loving mother.
Zhan Zuwang recalled Skybow's cute appearance when she was young. He didn't have a daughter. Just like what Meng Xian said, he had always treated Skybow as his own daughter and doted on her. Looking at Skybow's current appearance, his heart also ached.
Moreover, Steward Ji was an old man who had followed him for many years. Even if he didn't have any merits, he should at least have worked hard.
