Grandma Ye, Ye Daquan's family, Ye Erquan, and Yinhua were all sitting upright.

They were all stunned when they looked at Shen Zhiyan.

Mr. Shen is already quite distinguished, but today he looks like a prince, incredibly noble.

Shen Zhiyan greeted them warmly: "Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, Daquan brothers, Erquan brothers, greetings to you all."

Grandma Ye and the others were flattered and quickly smiled and said "Oh!"

Ye Daquan scoffed inwardly.

Shen Zhiyan then introduced, "This is my elder brother, Shen Zhiqiong, whom everyone has met before. This is my sister-in-law, Zhou Ying."

Lady Hou greeted him with a smile, while Marquis Dingguo stood behind his wife with a beaming smile throughout.

Old Mrs. Ye saw that Shen Zhiyan's brother and sister-in-law were both gentle and generous, and although they were dressed in rich clothes, they had no arrogance at all.

Grandma Ye and the others were finally relieved.

"Grandma Ye, where's Auntie?" Shen Manman stepped forward. "Where are Jin'er and Huan'er?"

Grandma Ye was delighted to see Shen Manman: "They're all inside."

Shen Manman was puzzled, but seeing that Old Madam Ye had dressed up specially today, and even Ye Daquan, who hated trouble the most, was wearing a silk dress and his hair was combed meticulously, she knew that something big was about to happen.

Father and Aunt must have something very important to discuss with the Ye family.

Shen Manman didn't say anything more and obediently followed behind Madam Hou, sitting down in the armchair at the lower end.

What's this about? Is it related to a glass workshop?

Right now, only glass workshops remain.

Although the glass workshop had just started construction and the finished products had not yet appeared on the market, Shen Manman knew that the workshop could make a lot of money!

Of course, besides money, it will also change many industries, such as tableware, handicrafts, and doors and windows; the impact will be significant. It definitely needs to be treated with great care.

well!

Shen Manman accepted the tea offered by the servant with some frustration. She was looking rather listless because she couldn't see Ye Caiping.

Lady Hou smiled and said, "I have prepared some small gifts for our first meeting. I hope Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye will not find them laughable."

Then, Granny Feng led four maids forward, carrying various boxes of gifts and bolts of cloth.

Grandma Ye nodded with a restrained smile: "Okay, okay."

"Well... let's get down to business." Lady Hou coughed lightly. "Call Matchmaker Jiang in."

A matchmaker? Shen Manman was momentarily stunned.

Why is a matchmaker here all of a sudden? Did she mishear me?

Turning around, I saw a woman with a plump appearance and wearing a large red flower in her hair walk in. I greeted her first.

"Greetings to Grandpa and Grandma Ye. Congratulations! I have long heard that Madam Ye Caiping is the best woman in Qinghe Village. There is no one like her in the entire Southern Prefecture. She is not only gentle and beautiful, but also virtuous and capable in managing the household."

Ye Caiping, who was in the room, felt a little embarrassed by the compliments.

His gaze fell on Shen Zhiyan, and he couldn't help but smile.

His outfit today is truly stunning. I encourage him to dress like this more often; it's pleasing to the eye!

The matchmaker outside continued, "Upon hearing of Lady Ye's virtuous reputation, the old lady of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion immediately sent the Marquis's wife to bring me here to propose marriage."

"A marriage proposal?" Shen Manman nearly spat out her tea. "Who's proposing marriage?"

Matchmaker Jiang said with a smile, "I'm proposing marriage for Madam Ye on behalf of Second Master Shen."

"My father?"

Shen Manman jumped up in shock, almost in shock, and looked anxiously at the Lady Hou: "Aunt... this is...?"

Could it be because of my letter that my grandmother couldn't wait any longer and sent my aunt to propose marriage?

But what about Father... He won't agree! What should we do? If he suddenly objects, won't Aunt Ye lose face?

As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Shen Zhiyan.

Shen Zhiyan pulled her back to her chair: "Sit down! What kind of behavior is this!"

Shen Manman was stunned. He didn't stop her from doing this: "You're not—"

Shen Zhiyan reached out and covered her mouth: "Don't speak."

I'm really afraid she'll suddenly blurt out something like he's keeping a mistress.

"Hmm—" Shen Manman's eyes widened. She turned around and saw him raising his dark eyebrows slightly, looking at her with a hint of amusement.

Shen Manman understood instantly.

So it turns out that proposing marriage to my aunt wasn't just my grandmother's idea; my father also agreed?

And what about mistresses...?

She kept investigating, but couldn't find a single clue.

Could the woman Ji Qing saw shopping with her father that time be her aunt? And the letter too...

Thinking about it, she understood everything!

Shen Manman was both happy and annoyed, glaring at Shen Zhiyan with a huff.

Unbelievable! Behind her back, he was secretly working hard and managed to kill her!

Shen Manman wanted to get angry, but she knew that she couldn't ruin things in this situation!

Moreover, this is a good thing! Thinking this, she watched the matchmaker speak with a happy smile.

Matchmaker Jiang said, "Madam Ye and Second Master Shen are a match made in heaven!"

Shen Manman clenched her fists, bit her lip, and closed her eyes: Yes!

Matchmaker Jiang said, "The old lady is very easygoing. As long as Master Shen likes it, the old lady will like it too."

Shen Manman nodded her little head: I told you! I told you!

Matchmaker Jiang: "The Shen family is kind to their elders and filial to their children, and their family traditions are upright."

Shen Manman's eyes sparkled as she declared: My family is number one in the entire capital!

The Ye family members were listening attentively, but as they listened, their gazes all fell on Shen Manman's face.

Marquis of Dingguo: "......"

Lady Hou: "..."

Shen Zhiyan coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "No more making faces!"

"Hmph—" Shen Manman puffed out her cheeks and glared at him.

Lady Hou covered her mouth and laughed: "Hehehe, this child is quite amusing."

Grandma Ye said, "Well... we're all very pleased that you like Cai Ping. But we don't know much about your family's situation yet. Could you tell us about it?"
