Upon hearing this, Bai Yan scratched his head and said, "Brother, you should marry her first."
"I won't get married," Bai Mo said, "so as not to hold back a good girl."
In the end, Bai Mo felt disgusted whenever he thought about marrying his own niece. He felt utterly repulsed and wondered why he had dragged that girl into marriage with him.
Bai Yan wanted to say something but didn't know how to comfort him. He knew that his brother had suffered all those hardships on his behalf, and he felt a little sad but didn't know how to express it.
Bai Mo no longer talks about these things with Bai Yan.
Inside the princess's residence, Yan Shujin and Mr. Du were discussing matters in the inner room, while Aunt Yu was also in the outer room quietly telling Yuzhu and Yurun about the Bai brothers. She didn't specifically mention the brothers' backgrounds, because the two of them were present when the matter was discussed.
Yu Run asked, "Aunt, what does the princess mean?"
"It seems the princess intends to give these brothers an important position." Aunt Yu didn't hide anything. "Moreover, this marriage is indeed a good one. Otherwise, the princess would not have hesitated to ask me for your opinions if she thought so highly of you."
Yu Zhu lowered her head and picked at her fingers, saying, "I... I still want to marry the guard."
Actually, Yuzhu didn't dislike the Bai brothers for anything. It was just that when she returned from the Northwest, she felt that she wanted to marry someone as imposing as him. She didn't like the thin, frail scholar.
Aunt Yu also remembered and asked, "What about Yu Run?"
“The princess doesn’t have many people around her,” Yu Run said. “I would like to serve the princess.”
Aunt Yu sighed and said carefully, "I know you want to serve the princess, but you should also think about yourself. The princess also wants the best for you. Even without those brothers, the princess would still find suitable people for you to marry off."
Yu Run was somewhat unwilling.
Aunt Yu whispered, "Even if he gets married, it's for the princess's own good."
Yu Run was also intelligent, and she understood at this moment. She looked at Aunt Yu and said, "If I have to marry, I will marry Bai Mo, not my younger brother."
Aunt Yu also knew that Yu Run was an open-minded person. In fact, in Aunt Yu's opinion, Bai Mo was better. Although Bai Mo meant that the Bai family would belong to his younger brother in the future, Bai Mo was still the head of the family now, and that future was decades away: "Bai Mo is indeed a good person."
Yu Run moved her lips and said, "Auntie..."
Aunt Yu looked at Yu Run and said, "Everyone thinks highly of you while you're by the princess's side, but in the end, you're still just a servant. How much can you really help the princess? If you get married, with the princess around, you'll be in charge of your own household. If the princess has any problems, you can help her more. Isn't that better than just looking after food and such while you're by the princess's side?"
Yu Run bit her lip and said, "That's true, but I always think that if I leave the princess's side and have my own children in the future, I will inevitably have to think more about the children."
"Silly girl." Aunt Yu finally understood what Yu Run had been worried about and couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't your child's future also tied to the princess? Only if the princess is well will your family be well. Do you really think you could harm the princess?"
Yu Run said, "I just feel that I can't take care of the princess wholeheartedly."
Aunt Yu had always known that Yu Run was loyal, and upon hearing this, she was willing to offer a few more words of advice: "As long as you have this kind of heart, that's enough. You are wholeheartedly devoted to the princess, and the princess also wants to consider things more for you."
On the surface, Yan Shujin asked Aunt Yu to ask about Yuzhu and Yurun, but in her heart she preferred Yurun. After all, not only Aunt Yu remembered what Yuzhu had said, but Yan Shujin also remembered it. In fact, Aunt Yu didn't care about reputation, but about practicality. Bai Mo's marriage was truly a practical one.
It was something the Bai family sought themselves, not something Yan Shujin pressured them to do. Once Yu Run marries into the family, her life will naturally be much better.
That evening, Aunt Yu told Yan Shujin about the matter. Yan Shujin nodded upon hearing this and specially kept Yu Run with her. Actually, Yan Shujin didn't think it was necessary for the girl to get married. Just like Cheng Zhi, who always said she didn't want to get married, Yan Shujin thought it was fine. However, Yu Run was sensitive and sentimental. Just like Yu Zhu, Yan Shujin didn't intend to keep her forever. When a suitable person came along, she would also arrange a marriage for Yu Zhu.
Besides Yuzhu and Yurun, Yan Shujin also had other maids around her, all of whom were taught by Aunt Yu. However, Yan Shujin was used to being served by the two of them and did not like too many people, so she never promoted them.
Yan Shujin said, "Don't think so much. Just live a good life from now on. I'll talk to Bai Mo tomorrow. If he's willing, I'll recognize you as my sworn sister and prepare your dowry so you can have a grand wedding from the princess's mansion."
Yu Run's eyes reddened as she said, "Princess..."
Yan Shujin said with a smile, "After you get married, I was thinking you should go to the orphanage to help out first. You can keep an eye on the dried fruit making for me. You are a meticulous person, and those are food items, which are mostly made by women. Mr. Pang is not suitable to be there all day. You will still be busy in the future. Don't think that you can have an easy life after you get married."
These words made Yu Run laugh, and he said, "As long as it can help the princess, that's fine."
