Chapter 436 Xiao Yan Delays Marriage

He thought for a moment and said, "If you still want to be together after your fifteenth birthday next year, I don't object. This year and a half is a good time for you to get to know each other better. I know that maybe you won't change your mind once you've decided, but it's hard to say about Chang Hui. You can test him too." Erya looked at Lu Qiniang.

"Mom also thinks Chang Hui is good, but what your dad said is not wrong. You two are too young, and you haven't been together for a long time. Let's just wait and see, until the end of next year, which is not too far away. Leave this matter to me, and I will talk to Manager Chang."

"So, mother, what are you going to say?"

"Let's say you two are interested in each other. If possible, we won't talk about marriage for a year and a half. By the end of next year, if you still feel the same way, we can officially get married. That makes sense, don't you think?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my parents."

This is actually equivalent to being settled, but there is no clear way out, so there is no need to worry about Chang Hui running away.

"Also, this matter is only known to our family. Don't tell anyone else, not even Yun Ting. Otherwise, if there is a change in the future, it will affect your reputation." Xiao Yan said again.

"Dad, you still treat Yun Ting as an outsider! Yun Ting even has your name engraved on his body, tsk tsk."

It is true that the falling flowers have intentions, but the flowing water is heartless.

Thinking about Yun Ting getting married in the future, he wondered how his wife would laugh when she saw the words engraved on his leg.

What a huge surprise.

"Yun Ting is not careful with his words, and he will let you know about it."

"That's not the case. I think he's quite reliable when it comes to big things. But never mind. I'd better not tell him, to avoid him laughing at me."

Anyway, it’s still early for engagement and even further for marriage, so there’s time for him to prepare the gift.

When sleeping at night, Xiao Yan was afraid that Lu Qiniang would feel hot, so he lay on his side next to her, holding a large palm-leaf fan in his hand to fan her and drive away mosquitoes.

"Xiao Yan ah..." Lu Qiniang felt that after she became pregnant, although she was occasionally confused, overall, she felt that her IQ had improved.

Maybe it’s because of the child?

"Hmm. Is the wind stronger or weaker?"

"Stop fanning me," Lu Qiniang said. "It's not hot yet. I'm asking you, do you disagree with Erya following Chang Hui? Don't be so hypocritical. Tell me the truth. Do you disagree with this marriage from the bottom of your heart?"

"yes."

Lu Qiniang: You have become smarter indeed.

"I feel in my heart that you are not happy about it, so you are dragging it out, hoping that it will fail."

No matter how smart Erya is, she is young and trusts Xiao Yan too much and does not doubt him.

"That's what I think." Xiao Yan said frankly.

"Why?" Lu Qiniang was puzzled. "Do you think Chang Hui is not a good person?"

"I don't think Chang Hui is bad, I just think Yun Ting might be a better fit."

Lu Qiniang looked at him with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile, "You don't like Yun Ting?"

"That's not the case. Besides, he will be a Duke in the future. Why should we look down on him? But don't just think your daughter is better. We have to be fair. Do you think Erya and Yunting are a good match?"

"match."

Lu Qi Niang, "Speak the truth."

"That Yun Ting is somewhat unworthy of Erya. But I think this kid has the ambition to move up, so he might be able to succeed in the future."

Men judge other men more accurately.

Lu Qiniang was speechless.

"Abandoned mother, life is too long. We have to go through many twists and turns. When we are rich and prosperous, it is natural for you and me to be good, but when I choose a husband for my daughter, there is one very important standard - never leave her."

"Why, do you think Chang Hui will abandon Erya? I think that he has suffered a lot since his childhood, and he won't do anything reckless and let his children suffer the same hardships he went through. What do you think?"

Lu Qiniang felt from the bottom of her heart that Chang Hui was a stable and reliable person.

"We can share the good times, but not necessarily the bad times." Xiao Yan said.

Chang Hui is a very realistic person.

Because I have suffered before, I don’t want to suffer again.

"If you're saying that, Yun Ting hasn't suffered any hardship. Isn't he even more unreliable?"

"Yun Ting has seen all kinds of wealth and luxury, and he can endure hardships. You see, he writes letters every day complaining about spiders and centipedes, but when it comes to matters of life and death, he downplays them."

The reason why Yun Ting wrote to him, asking him to help take care of the injured subordinates and keep it secret, was because he didn't want the people in the Duke's Mansion to know.

He is capable of taking on big responsibilities.

The more problems he encounters, the calmer he can deal with them. This kind of resilience is truly impressive.

"This kid has really grown up." Lu Qiniang exclaimed, "Yun Ting is good, but towards Erya—oh, did he tell you that he likes Erya?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, admitting it directly.

Lu Qiniang: "...I had my doubts before, but the Emperor has already granted him and Lu Huan their marriage. Erya is also obsessed with Chang Hui. Xiao Yan, I don't agree."

"Um?"

"The Emperor granted the marriage. That's an imperial decree, and it can't be negotiated. Although I think Yun Ting and Er Ya are a good match, Lu Huan is also very good. Yun Ting and her are a good match. I think the Emperor had his own considerations when granting the marriage to them."

Perhaps for both of them, in-laws can provide more security for each other.

Since they have already made their own arrangements, there is no need to separate the two couples.

It is much easier to go with the flow than to go against the current.

Lu Qiniang never expected her daughter to change her fate through marriage.

She feels that as long as the person is reliable, it doesn't make much difference who she lives with.

You have to live your life by yourself and can't rely on men.

"I won't tell Erya, and you shouldn't tell her either. I haven't promised Yun Ting more," Xiao Yan said. "Even without Yun Ting, I hope to have more time to observe Chang Hui. So, let's do this according to my instructions."

Lu Qiniang thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Then what about Manager Chang—"

"I'll go and talk to her, don't worry. Don't worry so much now, just take care of yourself." Xiao Yan looked at her and smiled, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her forehead.

"Xiao Yan, do you want to--" Lu Qiniang looked at him lustfully.

"I don't want to, and neither do you. Be good, it's time to go to bed."

Lu Qiniang grumbled aggrievedly, "Why did you give up so soon? Why don't you ask Old Hu to take a look?"

Is it true that men are no longer capable after they are 25?

The flowering period is also too short.

If that's the case, I feel like polyandry is the way to go.

The ancients were really wise. Didn’t Xiao Yan say that in ancient times, people only recognized their mothers and not their fathers, so one woman had many men!

She has several men, so Xiao Yan must be jealous to death? Hahahaha.

Lu Qiniang amused herself and burst into laughter.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and looked at her, saying faintly: "Abandoned mother——"
