The Yu family, especially the eldest wife Zhang, were filled with hatred after learning about her eldest son's future. However, it was not good for her son to be cuckolded by a man who was inferior to her before he was even married.

So the two families amicably broke off the engagement.

Afterwards, in order to make amends to her son, Zhang started looking for a good girl for him the day after the engagement was broken off. She also had a stack of information about the girls and their portraits, all of which were sent to her by them.

Among these girls, even the lowest-ranking official in their family was of the same rank as Yu Zhongchun, and even the second daughter of the Prince of Qi was among them.

The families she had previously admired were now considered to be marrying above their station due to their social status.

But ever since the emergence of the 'Little Immortal Lord,' the Yu family's status has been subtly rising.

These families, upon hearing that the marriage proposal for Yu Qingyu, the eldest grandson of the Yu family, had been called off, almost had their gates broken down by matchmakers before the very next day.

The reason these people arrived so quickly was that they had sent people to keep watch near the Yu residence early on.

It can be said that from the moment the Wei family left their own mansion until they left the Yu mansion, everything was observed by those who were paying attention.

No sooner had the Wei family left than several groups of matchmakers arrived at the Yu residence, before the tea served to the guests had even been cleared away.

The young girl in charge of tea carried pots of water to the front hall, her legs getting thin from running so much.

The matchmakers received by the Yu family were not ordinary matchmakers; they were all ladies of the household, invited by acquaintances to act as matchmakers for their daughters of marriageable age.

So Zhang has been busy for quite some time now, finding every girl she sees appealing, and she's become quite picky.

It just so happened that today was the day for the whole family to have a meal together, but before it was time to eat, Yue Fuguang was asked to leave by Zhang's head maid.

Yue Fuguang followed the head maid to Madam Yu's Ning'an Courtyard. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw her, they happily greeted her, "Fuguang, come and sit next to your grandmother."

He then instructed his head maid, "Fennel, go to the small kitchen and see if the lotus seed paste cake is ready. Bring a plate of it over first; Fuguang likes to eat that."

Yue Fuguang smiled and said, "Grandmother, did you make lotus seed paste cake today? That's delicious and not too sweet."

Zhang said, “Your grandmother instructed the kitchen to soak lotus seeds early this morning. A pot was made before you came. Your grandmother and I tasted it and thought it was too sweet for your taste, so we asked the cook to make another pot.”

Yue Fuguang smiled and said, "Grandmother and Mother really understand my tastes."

Madam Yu smiled and said, "Making too many sweet ones won't go to waste. Aren't there your brothers and sisters? Those rascals are benefiting from their sister's fame."

Zhang nodded in agreement, "Isn't that benefiting from this?"

The first one was her son's. Thinking of this, Zhang picked up a large wooden box next to her and took out a booklet from it.

“Fu Guang, your eldest brother and the eldest daughter of the Wei family broke off their engagement a few days ago. These days, your mother has been looking for a suitable match for him.”

We looked at several places, and your grandmother and I thought they were all good, but we couldn't decide which one was the most suitable for your older brother.

They say children have sharp eyes and discerning minds, and this is your future sister-in-law, so why don't I let you choose one that catches your eye?

Madam Yu also said, "This is your own sister-in-law. You two will be getting along for many years to come, so you really need to choose a girl who suits your taste."

Yue Fuguang understood what they meant; they were afraid that after careful selection, they would end up choosing a problematic girl.

She was also afraid that her older brother would marry a troublesome woman who would affect her current comfortable life, so she didn't refuse.

At most, it will just take some effort to have the system thoroughly investigate these people's backgrounds.

Thinking this to himself, he said aloud, "Have Grandmother and Mother asked my eldest brother's opinion? Among these sisters, does my eldest brother have a girl he likes?"

Madam Zhang said, "I have already asked your elder brother. I didn't show him the portrait album because of the importance of a young lady's reputation, but I have told him everything I need to. He can tell me anything! Your elder brother was frightened by the Wei family girl."

"You were frightened? Didn't Miss Wei have a hidden illness that led to the annulment of the engagement? How could she have frightened you, brother?"

While Yue Fuguang asked this question, she thought to herself that her family was quite reliable and had already begun to patch up the loopholes. Otherwise, without a reasonable explanation and if the story deviated from the course of history, she would really start to have doubts!

"Little Pearl, my brother's annulment of the engagement, which doesn't fit the original timeline, is indeed very suspicious."

Zhang's eyelids twitched, and she thought to herself that just as her father-in-law and eldest son had said, Fu Guang had become suspicious.

"Sigh!" she sighed deliberately. "Your eldest brother was supposed to marry the eldest daughter of the Wei family early next year, but who knew she... sigh! They say she has a hidden illness, but that's just the Wei family fooling outsiders to protect their girls' reputations."

With her large, inquisitive eyes wide open, Yue Fuguang asked, "Mother, is there some hidden story behind this?"

Zhang lovingly patted her fluffy head, straightened the crooked beaded flower, and said, "There is indeed a hidden story, which should not have been told to a young girl like you."

But your grandmother is right. The more we love you, the less we can let you become too naive and ignorant of the dangers of the world.

At the same time, you need to know the reason why you are given something.

She stopped talking and took a small sandalwood box from the head maid beside her.

Zhang opened the box, inside were several sheets of paper. She took them out one by one and explained to Yue Fuguang, “This is a small estate on the outskirts of Beijing that your parents gave you.”

It consists of only two hundred acres of land and a small hill about one hundred and twenty acres in size, with a small river flowing at its foot. The village is small, but the scenery is beautiful.

Her smile grew wider and wider. "The vegetable garden and flower room you set up is very good. My whole family has benefited from it."

It's clear you like these things, so your father and I have discussed giving you a small estate. You can do whatever you want with it after spring."

Madam Yu said with a loving expression, "It's all thanks to our Fu Guang. After eating Fu Guang's fruits and vegetables, your grandmother and grandfather both feel more energetic."

"Let's visit your estate together in the spring. Your mother is right, it's not a big estate, but the scenery is really beautiful."

When Yue Fuguang heard that there were fields and mountains, she really wanted to do her best to fulfill her parents' wishes. Even if she didn't plant high-yield, high-quality seeds, she had many other things she could plant.

Vegetables, fruits, and even flowers and trees will be planted everywhere, creating beautiful blooms that are perfect for vases, essential oils, and perfumes.

She accepted it generously, saying, "Since it's a gift from my parents, I won't refuse. I'll grow some good things and then come back to show my respect to you both."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yu deliberately said with a hint of jealousy, "Oh dear, is there only a share for the parents, but not for the grandmother? This old woman is so heartbroken, my granddaughter doesn't love me!"

My old woman even went to great lengths to pick out a nice shop for her!

Yue Fuguang quickly comforted her, "Grandma, don't be sad. We can't leave Grandma out of the picture! I still need to ask you for some people who are good at growing flowers and planting fruit trees."

Without her grandmother's support, the granddaughter couldn't grow anything good!
