Chapter 42 Uncle Qi, I hope you won’t let me knock CPBE off

"You two are not young anymore, you are of marriageable age."

"A few days ago, I asked a matchmaker to send some portraits and introductions of young ladies from official families who were waiting to be married. You two can check if there is any that you like. If so, I will ask someone to propose marriage to you."

"If not, then you should prepare to attend the Winter Banquet in a month, the Winter Temple Fair in two months, and the Lantern Festival in the spring of next year."

"In short, your engagement must be finalized by the beginning of next spring at the latest. Especially you, Old Seven. You are already 20 years old and still haven't gotten married. You don't even know what others are saying about your brother and me behind our backs..."

Those people were saying that in order to monopolize the Yun family's wealth, the couple deliberately delayed the life-long event of the seventh son of the Yun family, and deliberately did not arrange a marriage for him and did not allow him to get married. Their consciences were completely black.

There are even harsher things said than this.

The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. When Madam Yun was with Yun Zheng, Yun Zhan was less than two years old. Her mother-in-law died early, and Yun Zhan was almost raised by her single-handedly. Although he was her younger uncle in name, she loved and cared for him like her own son. She raised him with great difficulty, but she didn't expect that he would end up with such a reputation.

Whenever she thought of this matter, Mrs. Yun felt very uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry that you've wronged my sister-in-law. I didn't think this through. I will definitely settle the marriage after the new year at the latest."

Yun Zhan nodded and compromised.

No one knew better than him how truly sincere his sister-in-law was towards him, and he shouldn't let her and her brother bear such a bad reputation.

"Okay, okay~"

Madam Yun burst into tears of joy, then she thought of something and sighed, "Seventh Brother, I'm not forcing you on purpose, but men and women should get married when they are old enough, and you are indeed old enough to get married and have children."

"Your elder brother and I sincerely hope that you can find a woman who loves you and cherishes you and wants to stay with you for the rest of your life."

"This time, you just take a look. If you find someone you like, that would be great. If not, we can continue to ask someone to introduce you. There are tens of thousands of women in the world, and I believe there will always be someone you like."

"As long as you like someone, no matter what his or her background is, I will definitely welcome him or her in with great respect and dignity~"

“…”

[Hey, my mother is actually urging Uncle Seven and my eldest brother to get married, and Uncle Seven actually agreed. ]

[In the plot, during this period, the second brother was forced to marry the woman he rescued but who became attached to him, and they had a huge quarrel.]

[The fact that Yang Xiner pretended to be my mother and corresponded with Lin Weian was also exposed. Rumors were spreading outside. My mother was so worried that she couldn't take care of anything else. Therefore, today's marriage urging didn't happen. ]

[Uncle Seven never married until his death, but he and Sister Yin Shuang obviously fell in love with each other. However, Uncle Seven carried a deep blood feud and wanted to avenge his father and eldest brother. He was afraid of harming Sister Yin Shuang, so he never confessed his feelings to her.]

[What he didn't know was that Sister Yin Shuang's true identity was actually the crown princess of Dayu Kingdom. She was poisoned by the enemy and fled to Dawu Kingdom, where she was rescued by her seventh uncle.]

【After Uncle Seven died, Sister Yin Shuang completely cut off all feelings and love.】

[She changed her appearance and identity and returned to Dayu Kingdom to seek revenge. It took her three years to finally kill her enemy and take back everything that belonged to her, becoming the empress of Dayu Kingdom.]

[After that, Sister Yin Shuang steadily developed the country's strength for a period of time, and then she began to lead troops to attack the Dawu Kingdom. ]

[Everyone thought she was ambitious and wanted to annex the Great Wu Kingdom, but in fact, she just wanted to avenge her seventh uncle. Unfortunately, in front of the hero and heroine, she was just a gift of experience and could not escape the fate of defeat.]

[In the end, Sister Yinshuang committed suicide in front of the palace gate, and Dayu was completely annexed.]

【……】

What? Miss Yin Shuang is actually the crown princess of Dayu Kingdom? Will she fall in love with Yun Zhan in the future? Will she destroy her own country for revenge for him? Everyone looked at Yun Zhan in astonishment.

Yun Zhan's eyes moved, surprised but not so surprised. Although Yin Shuang tried her best to disguise herself, the talent and ability she accidentally revealed were definitely not something that an ordinary family could cultivate.

He had long guessed that her origins might be extraordinary, but he never expected it to be so extraordinary.

"Well, let me ask you one more question. Old Seven, do you have a sweetheart? If you do, don't hide it. Just say it out loud. This will save your sister-in-law from wasting time and worrying about you."

Yun Zheng glanced at Yun Zhan, seemingly adding to Madam Yun's previous words, but in fact he was giving him a chance to choose, or perhaps a test.

Test whether he will choose Yinshuang now.

Madam Yun realized this immediately and said with a smile, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Maybe Old Seven has a lover himself."

If Yun Zhan listened to Xiao Si's wishes and really chose Yin Shuang, Madam Yun would be happy to see it happen.

Although Miss Yinshuang is now only Old Seven’s personal maid, and her appearance is... but these are not the problems. Appearance is just skin and what’s important is their feelings and feelings for each other.

She thought that Miss Yinshuang was a good girl, with a quiet personality, but she did things neatly and beautifully. More importantly, in Xiaosi's heart, she was devoted to Laoqi.

It would be a pity to let down such deep affection.

"Thank you for your concern, brother and sister-in-law. I won't look at this portrait today."

Yun Zhan stood up, curled the corners of his lips, and said, "But I promise my sister-in-law that the wedding will be arranged before the beginning of next spring."

"Okay, I feel relieved with your assurance. Then I won't have to look at the statue."

As soon as Mrs. Yun's voice fell, Yun Wanning's inner voice immediately rang out.

[Eh, the style of the painting changed too quickly. ]

[Mother clearly said that she would let Uncle Qi see the girls' portraits, why didn't she do that suddenly? Uncle Qi promised to get engaged next year, but he didn't even look at the portraits, who is he going to get engaged to? Baby, I'm so confused. ]

[No, no, that's not the point. The point is, does Sister Yin Shuang still have a chance? In addition to my parents, I also support Uncle Qi and Sister Yin Shuang. ]

[Uncle Qi, I hope you won’t let me lose CPBE, otherwise I will be very sad. ]

Everyone: “…”

What does the last sentence CP/BE mean? What is the connection? Madam Yun and Yun Zheng vaguely know that CP means a pair or combination, but what does BE mean? Does it mean to separate?

As for the rest of the people, they couldn’t understand any of the four letters. It was like listening to a foreign language. However, it didn’t stop them from increasing their vocabulary by another +1.

Yun Zhan left quickly, and Yun Zheng and the twins also went out.

There were only three owners left in the bedroom.

Mrs. Yun looked at Yun Wanchen while holding the photo album.

"Chen'er, it's your turn now. Come and see if there's anyone you like. Once your seventh uncle's engagement is finalized in the spring after the New Year, we'll schedule yours as well."

Yun Wanchen: “…”

Even his broken leg was not spared. How can I avoid being forced to get married?

"yes."

He gave a bitter smile, took the booklet handed to him by Madam Yun and opened it. A beautiful woman with a pretty face appeared in the booklet.

Madam Yun introduced them to him earnestly, but he did not show any extra emotion.

"This is Princess Xianyi's daughter, Xue Jinyu, she is sixteen years old. Her marriage has been delayed because her fiancé, to whom she had been engaged since childhood, died unexpectedly. I heard that Princess Xianyi is anxious to find a husband for her."

[Oh my god, this Miss Xue is not suitable for my brother. ]

[Princess Xianyi was anxious to find a husband for Miss Xue, not because her fiancé had died and she couldn't find a good marriage, but because she had been deceived by a poor scholar and now she was determined to marry no one else.]

[Princess Xianyi thought the man was poor and ambitious, and was afraid that Miss Xue would suffer if she married him, so she was anxious to find a nobleman of similar background to take over.]

[But Miss Xue is now rebellious because of the separation of her lover from her husband. She only has that poor scholar in her heart. It is impossible for her to be willing to marry my eldest brother.]

[If mother were to force the marriage, she would probably get into a lot of trouble and make a huge fool of herself. By then, she might end up with an enemy instead of a marriage.]

Madam Yun: “…”

Is there such a thing?

No wonder she heard people say that Princess Xianyi was so worried about Miss Xue's marriage. She used to wonder what was so urgent. Miss Xue was the daughter of the princess after all, and her father was an official appointed by the court. How could she not get married?

It turns out that there is such an inside story.

"Mom, I don't like this one, let's go to the next one."

Yun Wanchen closed the booklet and handed it to Mrs. Yun. Mrs. Yun and Yun Wanning both breathed a sigh of relief.

[Yeah, Big Brother actually didn't like Miss Xue, potential trouble is resolved. ]

"Okay, then take a look at this~"

Madam Yun curled her lips and smiled, then handed over another booklet.

"This is Mr. Zhang's daughter, Zhang Meng. She is fifteen years old and has never been engaged."

[This doesn’t work either.]

[Mother, although Zhang Meng has never been engaged, she is a fake daughter. When Madam Zhang gave birth to a daughter, the servants in the mansion schemed and swapped the children. It won't be long before the real daughter is found.]

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

[If mother marries into the Zhang family now, and there comes a time when the issue of the real daughter comes out, which one should my eldest brother marry? ]

Madam Yun: “…”

This matchmaker is so unreliable. What did he send? Either a secret marriage or a fake daughter.

"Mom, I don't like this one either, let's go to the next one."

[Yeah, you are indeed the big brother, your vision is high, you have not chosen two in a row, potential troubles are eliminated x2. ]

“This is…”

Next, Mrs. Yun showed Yun Wanchen six or seven of them in a row. Yun Wanning didn't complain much, but something went wrong with Yun Wanchen.

I don’t know if it was because he rejected the first two too easily, but he rejected all the next ones using the same rhetoric as before.

Not a good match, next one...

Mrs. Yun was almost numb until the last booklet was opened and a pale, skinny, malnourished bean sprout appeared in Yun Wanchen's sight.

His eyes moved and he looked at Madam Yun in surprise.

"How about this one? Does this one suit your taste?"

Madam Yun asked him unhappily.

"Mom, why is she in there?"

Those in front were all legitimate daughters, and she was the only illegitimate daughter mixed in among them. It was obvious that her mother did it on purpose.

Although my mother never mentioned it again, she took my younger sister's feelings that day to heart.

"I have reported this to your father, so your father and I know what happened in Lanyuexuan that day. Tell me exactly what you are thinking, so I can make plans for you."

[Hey, is it the mysterious lady who suddenly appeared? ]

[Who is this? I really want to know. ]

[What happened in Lanyuexuan that day? 】

[Why did my mother and my eldest brother suddenly start to play dumb? Are they trying to make me anxious? ]

[Mother is bad, brother is bad! ]

Madam Yun: “…”

Yun Wanchen: “…”

My dear, I really can't let you know about this. If you know, you will doubt your life and why we know this. What if you doubt that we can hear your voice? "Mom, don't worry about this. I have my own plans. I promise you that after Uncle Qi's marriage is settled, I will also make my own plans. Okay?"

Madam Yun: “…”

So you spent a long time with me looking at the girls' statues, just to make trouble, right?

Mrs. Yun sighed and helplessly put away the album. Yun Wanchen had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he stayed and teased Yun Wanning.

Yun Wanning liked him very much and kept chatting with him in her heart.

After being picked up by him, I took the opportunity to feel his pulse with my little hand. I didn't know until I touched it, and I was shocked.

[Oh my god, how come all the blockages in big brother's body disappeared? His meridians were also unblocked. Could it be that big brother has his own healing skills? That doesn't make sense.]

[If I really had this skill, would it never be useful in the plot? ]

【Ahhhhh, what the hell is going on? 】

Yun Wanning was doubting her life the whole day.

* Qing Garden.

As soon as Yun Zhan stepped into the moon cave gate, he saw a woman in a silver dress standing under the corridor, exuding a unique kind of tranquility and serenity.

Hearing the footsteps, the woman turned around and saw that her palm-sized face was covered with half a mask that was shining with cold light. The mask covered her entire middle face, revealing only her smooth forehead, chin, and a pair of eyes as white as snow.

"Seventh Master, you're back."

She raised her legs to meet him, taking small but quick steps.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't have to wait for me outside anymore?"

Yun Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. After listening to his niece's thoughts, he still couldn't calm down. He had been thinking about it for as long as he had walked from the front yard to here.

He knew that his feelings for Yin Shuang were different from those for other women. Excluding the mistress, Yin Shuang was the only woman around him besides his sister-in-law and Yao'er. But he never thought that it could be love.

But if not, what is love? "I just happened to come out to relax."

Yin Shuang lowered his head slightly. Even though he was wearing a mask, he could still imagine the arrogance in her eyes and brows.

This is the untamed little wolf cub. That's why he saved her, isn't it? Thinking of the scene when the two first met, Yun Zhan felt a little better and a smile appeared on his face.

"Come in, I have something to ask you."

"yes."

In the bedroom.

Yun Zhan sat in front of the red wood table and said, "Don't stand. There are no outsiders here. Sit down and talk."

"yes."

Without much hesitation, the slender woman sat down beside him, sitting upright with her back straight.

In Yun Zhan's memory, she always looks like this.

His eyes fell on the slender waist that could be held in one hand. His eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know when the waist would bend.

I've seen everyone's gifts and votes recently. Since many sisters' ID names are numbers or very long strings, I can't type to thank them, so I'll thank them here. Thank you for the votes and gifts, princess. I love you~
