Madam Tian had just returned from the Yun family when Old Madam Tian arrived. "Old Madam Yun agreed, right?"

"..." Do you think my uncle is the emperor? Everyone's scrambling to marry him? "I told Xiao Liu's mother, and she said she'd talk to Old Madam Yun when Xiao Liu comes back. Xiao Liu took her eldest cousin and her eldest cousin's fiancé to visit her second uncle and her eldest cousin."

"Why wait for her to come back? She's just a little girl."

"Old Madam Yun really likes Xiao Liu. If Xiao Liu were here, even if Old Madam Yun disliked that my uncle had been married twice, she wouldn't scold Xiao Liu's mother."

Old Madam Tian was displeased upon hearing this. "So what if he's been married twice? A man can marry a virgin even if he's been married eight times. It's different for women. Once a woman has been married, she's worthless."

That's not necessarily true. Forget it, let's just wait for her mother-in-law to give up on her own. "Mother, we can't rush these things. The more we rush, the more they'll think there's something wrong with us, and the less likely they are to agree."

Old Madam Tian thought about it and agreed. "When will that little girl be back?"

"It's hard to say, it could be ten days or two or three months."

"Two or three months?! Why is a young girl like her meddling in men's affairs instead of staying at home obediently?"

Madam Tian thought to herself, "Old Master Yun and General Niu have no objections, but you do? Who are you to them?" "Mother, please don't say that. What if Old Hei hears this..."

At this point, Madam Tian stopped talking. Everyone in Ningyuan City suspected that Lao Hei used to be a bandit, and everyone in Ningyuan City knew that Lao Hei doted on Sisi.

Old Madam Tian subconsciously looked around. She was relieved to find herself in her own home. "Isn't this my own home? Um, none of you are allowed to spread this around. If you do, I'll kick you all out."

The maids and servants in the room were secretly laughing at Old Madam Tian while saying that the news wouldn't get out.

Sisi didn't return for more than half a month. During that time, Old Madam Tian didn't dare to say anything bad about Sisi again.

After Sisi returned, Fengchan told her what Madam Tian had said. After telling her, Fengchan wanted to tell Sisi her idea.

Before she could even speak, Sisi said, "Just refuse directly. Don't beat around the bush or give her any face."

"...Isn't this inappropriate? Your cousin is going to marry into the Tian family. What if she makes things difficult for your cousin..."

“My cousin doesn’t necessarily have to marry into her family. Besides, it’s precisely because my cousin might marry into her family that we can’t give her face, lest she think our family is not respectable. Even if she makes things difficult for my cousin, we’ll be too embarrassed to say anything or confront her.”

How dare they try to marry that kind of scumbag? It's not like her eighth aunt can't get married. Even if she can't, she shouldn't marry that kind of scumbag.

Feng Chan thought about it and it seemed to make sense. "Alright, we'll do it your way. I'm going to talk to your great-grandmother."

Just as Madam Yun was asking Yun Ruibo, Wang Yicheng, and Sun Xingyao how they were doing over there, Feng Chan arrived. "Grandma."

"What's up?"

"Um."

"You two go and rest first."

"good."

Yun Ruibo and Wang Yicheng said goodbye to Feng Chan and then left.

After they left, Fengchan told Old Madam Yun what Madam Tian had said, her idea, and Sisi's thoughts. "Grandma, what do you think? Should we be tactful or refuse directly like Xiao Liu suggested?"

"Of course, we refused directly, just like Xiao Liu said. Grandma is telling you, our family is different now than before; our family is now a military family."

Feng Chan smiled upon hearing this. "Then I'll go and report back to Madam Tian right now."

"Go."

Madam Tian was teaching Tian Yajiao how to do accounts when a maidservant came in. "Madam, the third young mistress of the Yun family has arrived."

Mrs. Tian was taken aback. Why was it her? Wasn't it her nieces, her grandnieces, and her daughter who came?

Before Feng Chan even reached the door, Madam Tian and Tian Ya Jiao came to greet her.

As soon as Madam Tian finished greeting Feng Chan, Tian Ya Jiao took Feng Chan's arm. "Auntie, has Xiao Liu returned yet?"

"I'm back."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yajiao immediately looked at Madam Tian. "Mother, I want to go play with Xiao Liu. I haven't seen Xiao Liu for more than half a month."

"Go."

"Okay. Auntie, you two chat, I'm going to go play with Xiao Liu."

After saying that, Tian Yajiao left with her maid.

Madam Tian looked at Feng Chan and smiled, "This child, she goes to bother Xiao Liu whenever she has a spare moment."

"Xiao Liu really likes Jiao Jiao."

The two walked into the house while talking.

After sitting down, Madam Tian dismissed the maids and servants from the room. "Did you tell Xiao Liu?"

"I told him. Xiao Liu said we're all on the same side, and it's not good to play tricks on our own people."

"..." I'm sure you'll try to outsmart me. "Then?"

Feng Chan looked at Madam Tian and said, "If you're too embarrassed to tell your mother-in-law, I will."

Mrs. Tian was willing to, but that was a matter between her and her mother-in-law. "No need, no need, I'll talk to my mother-in-law. No wonder Jiaojiao likes Xiao Liu so much; Xiao Liu is such a good child."

"Jiaojiao is a good child too."

Fengchan chatted with Madam Tian for a while before taking her leave.

After seeing Feng Chan off, Madam Tian took a deep breath before going to find Old Madam Tian. Old Madam Tian was having a maid massage her legs.

Madam Tian bowed to Old Madam Tian. "Mother, Xiao Liu's mother spoke with Old Madam Yun, but Old Madam Yun is unwilling."

"What?! Her granddaughter is already married and she still dares to look down on your uncle?!"

Why wouldn't they dare? They're climbing to higher positions right now. "Mother, all children are the best."

"What do you mean 'homegrown' is better'? I think she's just getting senile. By the way, didn't you say that Old Master Yun sometimes listens to Yun Xiaoliu?" Kids are easy to fool.

Madam Tian's eyelids twitched. "Mother, why are you asking this?"

"What's it to you? Just tell me if you said those things or not?"

"I...I did say that."

That's fine then. "Alright, you can go back now."

"Mother, little..."

Madam Tian wanted to tell Old Madam Tian that Sisi was still a child and that she shouldn't talk to Sisi about these things. But she was interrupted by Old Madam Tian after only a few words. "Go back. I need to rest."

After saying that, Madam Tian closed her eyes.

Mrs. Tian had no choice but to leave.

Five days later, Sisi and Lao Hei were strolling down the street when Old Madam Tian approached from the opposite direction. "Little Six, out shopping?"

Sisi raised an eyebrow. "Mm."

"Grandma Tian wants to talk to you about something. Why don't you come with her to the teahouse over there and sit for a while?"

"good."

Upon arriving at the teahouse, Madam Tian requested a private room.

After sitting down, Madam Tian told Sisi how wonderful her little brother was.

Sisi smiled after hearing this. "Do I look like a fool to you?"
