Chapter 268 Engagement

"Second cousin, you're sixteen this year, right?" Yuan Ziyu asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Cui Ruxun gently pulled out the embroidery needle and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Well... second cousin, you can meet people this year. Do you have someone you like?" Yuan Ziyu asked Cui Ruxun with a smile.

Cui Ruxun blushed upon hearing this: "Since my father is not around, this matter will naturally be decided by my mother."

"Then, what if you are not satisfied with the marriage your second cousin finds for you?" Yuan Ziyu asked again.

"As children, aren't our parents the ones who decide our marriages?" Cui Ruxun smiled and said, "What does it matter whether they like me or not? I don't have anyone I like in my heart anyway, so it doesn't matter who I marry. As long as he's not a bad guy and my parents-in-law and sister-in-law can get along, that's all that matters!"

"What if I marry the wrong person?" Yuan Ziyou asked again, "What if my parents-in-law and sister-in-law are mean-spirited?"

"You little girl, how old are you, and you're already concerned about these things?" Cui Ruxun gently pinched Yuan Ziyu's cheek and said with a smile, "You're still two years away from getting married, it's too early to think about these things. Besides, Master Huo treats you very well, and even the Marquis and his wife treat you very well, so you don't have to worry about these things."

Cui Ruxun thought that Yuan Ziyu was asking her these questions because she was worried about her future marriage, so she smiled and comforted her.

Yuan Ziyu blushed: "Of course I don't have to worry. I'm just asking my second cousin. Second cousin, just tell me."

As she spoke, Yuan Ziyu hugged Cui Ruxun's arm and started to act coquettishly.

When Cui Ruxun was at home, although she had a younger sister, she was not close to her and was only close to Cui Ruxu. Now that she was at the Yuan family, she got along very well with Yuan Ziyu and had long regarded Yuan Ziyu as her own sister. Now that Yuan Ziyu was acting like a spoiled child to her, how could she resist? She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do what I say!"

"Tell me quickly!" Yuan Ziyu opened his eyes wide and looked at Cui Ruxun expectantly.

"If it's really like you said, then the worst that can happen is we can just get divorced!" Cui Ruxun said with a smile, "Anyway, I don't want to put up with that bullshit!"

During the Dali Dynasty, people were very tolerant of divorced women. Therefore, there were quite a few divorced women in the Dali Dynasty. However, if a woman divorced, her parents' family still had the right to decide her marriage.

It is also because of this that women who were divorced in the Dali Dynasty all had the support of their natal families. If a woman's natal family was unreliable, she would rarely choose to divorce. After all, no one knew what would happen to her second marriage arranged by her natal family.

Although the Dali Dynasty treated divorced women leniently, if they were divorced two or three times, no matter how lenient they were, it would not be able to withstand the rumors behind their backs.

"That's too troublesome. Why not find someone who knows you well?" Yuan Ziyu suggested with a frown.

"Tell me, what do you want to say today?" Cui Ruxun figured out that her second cousin had something to say to her!

Yuan Ziyu chuckled and looked at Cui Ruxun and said, "Second cousin, what do you think of my eldest brother?"

"Ah!" Cui Ruxun was stunned for a moment: "Cousin?"

"Yes!" Yuan Ziyou nodded quickly: "He's my eldest brother, what do you think?"

Cui Ruxun blushed immediately and went to pinch Yuan Ziyu's face: "You are young and unmarried, but you are acting as a matchmaker!"

Yuan Ziyu hurriedly dodged with a smile: "Second cousin, you haven't answered yet!"

"What answer?" Cui Ruxun didn't twist Yuan Ziyu's face, so she simply turned her head away and continued to embroider the handkerchief with her head down.

"My elder brother!" Yuan Ziyu approached with a smile: "Second cousin, what do you think of my elder brother?"

"My cousin...I'm doing fine!" Cui Ruxun continued to embroider the handkerchief with her head down, her face turning redder.

"It's pretty good. How is it good?" Yuan Ziyu continued to ask with a smile.

"It's... it's pretty good!" Cui Ruxun said softly, then glared at Yuan Ziyu: "Second cousin, if you keep asking, I'll leave!"

Having said that, he stood up and wanted to leave.

Yuan Ziyu couldn't let Cui Ruxun leave like that, so she hurried forward to hold her and said with a smile, "Sister, don't go. Let me tell you the truth. I came here to ask you because I knew my elder brother liked you!"

"What?" Cui Ruxun looked at Yuan Ziyu in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it. Although she had secretly imagined what her future husband would look like, she had never thought of Yuan Zian.

In Cui Ruxun's opinion, Yuan Zian is the future general. Although they are cousins, there is still a gap between them and their status is not compatible.

"Second cousin, my eldest brother likes you. Can you be my sister-in-law?" Yuan Ziyu asked with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" Cui Ruxun became even more shy. "How can I decide something like this?"

"Then if my mother proposed to my second cousin, would you have no objection?"

"It's my parents' order and the matchmaker's words, so there's no room for me to object!" Cui Ruxun said in a low voice with his head down.

"Then it's settled!" Yuan Ziyu knew that Cui Ruxun had no objection when he heard it.

It can be seen that the second cousin does not have any feelings for the eldest brother now, she just doesn't dislike him, but she believes that with the eldest brother's character, the second cousin will definitely like him!

"I'll go back first!" Cui Ruxun couldn't sit still anymore, so he hurried out.

Yuan Ziyu didn't stay either. After Cui Ruxun left, he ran to Liufengyuan with great interest to report the good news to Liu!

Yuan Ziyu was the happiest person to know that Yuan Zian could marry Cui Ruxun. In this life, his elder brother would no longer be tied to that woman Liu Luoshan. When he thought about how Liu Luoshan treated his elder brother in his previous life, Yuan Ziyu felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

It’s a pity that she has had little contact with Liu Luoshan until now, otherwise she would have to vent her anger.

When Liu knew that Cui Ruxun had no objection, she was satisfied and found a day to discuss the marriage with Tan.

Tan had never expected that Liu would propose to her. She was overjoyed and agreed immediately.

Although they are two families, they live together, so it is easier to go through the engagement ceremony.

The two sides exchanged tokens and set up a banquet, and the marriage was settled.

When Madam Yuan learned that Cui Ruxun was going to marry Yuan Zian, she was also very happy. Only Tang smiled and congratulated Tan and Liu, but when they returned to the house, they shed tears silently.

Now the relationship between Tang and Cui Ruxu has eased a lot. After all, they are mother and daughter, so how could there be any overnight hatred?

"Mom, Xu'er is unfilial!" Cui Ruxu sat next to Tang with guilt, looking lonely.

"What's the point of saying this now? Am I really going to force you to death?" Tang sighed, "Xu'er, what are you thinking? Why are you so stubborn?"

Cui Ruxu said nothing, but lowered her head and shed tears.

The mother and daughter cried again.
