Side Story 9: The Eldest Miss's Childhood Betrothal



Mr. Wen also liked this primary school student very much, and asked her in a kind tone, "Is there something you need, Miss?"

Wei Ruyi nodded, and hesitantly asked, "Mr. Wen, what does your grandson look like?"

Mr. Wen then went on to praise his grandson's appearance, describing him as having striking features and being exceptionally handsome.

Wei Ruyi pursed her lips and said, "Then... Mr. Wen, why don't you write a letter to your grandson and ask him to arrange a marriage between our children?"

Mr. Wen, momentarily speechless with amusement, stroked his beard and asked her, "Do you know what an arranged marriage is?"

Wei Ruyi nodded solemnly. Aunt Shu taught her that men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age, and that it is best to act first in matters of marriage, otherwise those who act later will only end up with nothing.

She didn't want to drink cold soup. So Aunt Shu said that these things should be started from childhood; whoever she fancy should be betrothed to. What? There are plenty of people she's interested in? That's alright, it can't hurt to settle things first.

Mr. Wen knew she was just being childish and agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'll write to him and ask him later."

Wei Zhiyi and her best friend turned back after discovering that her younger sister had fallen behind and hadn't followed them out, and just then they overheard her sister's conversation with Mr. Wen.

Wei Zhiyi glanced at his good brother, whose face was ashen, and recalled how his sister had been holding his hand and going in and out together for a long time, always with a bright smile. He assumed that his brother was like him, feeling melancholy that his daughter was growing up and leaving home. So he patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, she's not just like that to the young master of the Wen family."

He counted on his fingers, "The Yun family, the Xie family, the Wang family, the Xiao family, basically, all the men who look good and aren't too stupid, she's arranged marriages for them all."

Yu Mu, who was a few months older than them, looked at him calmly and said, "Your sister was also engaged to me."

Wei Zhiyi: ...

Wei Zhiyi chuckled dryly twice: "Is that so?"

Haha, his sister is really something, so young yet she knows how to manipulate men's hearts.
