“I know it is presumptuous of me to ask this, but I have no other choice. Please tell me about Mr. Tian, Miss Li.”
Upon hearing Wu Wenya's words, Li Youran realized that her expression just now was far too exaggerated, so she hurriedly put on her signature smile and said to Wu Wenya.
"Although young Master Tian is young, he is much more down-to-earth than his peers."
Li Youran pursed her lips, thought carefully for a moment, and then told Wu Wenya about Tian Alang.
"Young Master Wu's parents died early, and he was raised by his grandmother, so his family relationships are relatively simple. There is only one grandmother in the family."
Wu Wenya nodded, sighed, and looked at Li Youran.
"I'm not afraid of making you laugh at me, Princess. The reason I asked you about Young Master Tian is because I heard that he is quite extraordinary. People who want to propose marriage to him are practically wearing down the door, but Young Master Tian hasn't accepted any of them. So I became curious."
"It's not that Young Master Tian has high standards, it's just that he takes relationships very seriously and is very responsible."
Li Youran naturally knew what Wu Wenya's purpose was in saying this. It wasn't a simple explanation of the matter, but rather an attempt to subtly inquire about Tian Alang's requirements for women.
"As for what kind of girl Young Master Tian likes, I really don't know, but I do know that Young Master Tian is not a picky person."
Clearly, Wu Wenya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Li Youran's words.
Li Youran looked at Wu Wenya in front of her. She had a face like a silver plate and willow leaves, with arched eyebrows, a high nose and big eyes. She was a dignified lady from a prominent family. Just as the rumors said, she was a rare noble lady from the capital.
Li Youran's fondness for Wu Wenya stemmed not only from the high regard she received from outsiders, but also from her straightforward personality.
If it were an ordinary woman asking about Tian Alang, she would either blush with embarrassment or become shy and hesitant, stammering and stammering.
However, Wu Wenya brought up the matter as if it were a casual conversation, making no attempt to hide her interest in Tian Alang.
"Group owner, I have a favor to ask."
"Miss Wu, please speak frankly."
"I would like to ask the princess to do me a favor and introduce me to Young Master Tian."
After saying this, Yuwen Ya felt her face burning, and her eyes drooped slightly, not daring to look at Li Youran.
To be honest, Wu Wenya had mustered up a lot of courage to come here today. She knew that the Duke of Huguo's mansion had always stood on the side of the Third Prince, and she had come to the Second Prince's mansion secretly without her father's knowledge.
To her surprise, the princess was so open about Tian Alang.
Wu Wenya thought that people would look down on a woman for asking a man's questions, but Li Youran's eyes were innocent and showed no sign of looking down on her, which touched her deeply.
So she mustered her courage and boldly made the request. Wu Wenya's idea was very simple. She felt that since Tian Alang had rejected all the matchmakers' proposals, he must dislike this kind of marriage. She thought it would be better to have Li Youran introduce him to Tian Alang in private. Perhaps she could move Tian Alang with her sincerity.
To understand why Wu Wenya fell for Tian Alang, we have to go back to the day of the parade.
The day the top scholar paraded through the streets was very lively, and even the most famous courtesan in the capital came out to watch the spectacle.
The courtesan threw a handkerchief at Tian Erlang from the high corner tower, and the handkerchief landed squarely on Tian Erlang's head.
For a moment, all the men in the capital looked at the courtesan. No one could resist such beauty. But Tian Alang seemed not to see it. He looked up at the courtesan sitting on the corner tower, then handed the handkerchief to his attendant and continued walking forward.
Wu Wenya lived in the Duke of Huguo's mansion and knew that her father and brother had many wives, concubines, and maids. She knew the suffering of her sister-in-law and mother, so she made a wish in her heart since childhood: that she would find a man who could make money and never share her husband with others.
Ever since the folk tale spread that she was to marry the Third Prince, she began urging her mother to find her a suitable husband, since the Third Prince had many wives and concubines in his household.
This was definitely not the kind of marriage Wu Wenya wanted, but after looking at so many people, none of them met her approval. Either they weren't good enough, or they had too many concubines at home.
Out of desperation, Wu Wenya mustered her courage and tried every means to find out about Tian Alang.
After learning that Tian Alang and Li Youran were getting close, he thought about it for a while and then secretly went to find Li Youran without his family's knowledge.
"It's not impossible."
Li Youran was taken aback at first, then responded.
"When would Miss Wu like to see Young Master Tian?"
"The sooner the better."
Wu Wenya, who had just felt embarrassed, hurriedly responded after hearing Li Youran's words. Only after speaking did she realize that she had been too abrupt and hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Please excuse my poor appearance, Princess."
Li Youran suppressed a laugh, but to avoid embarrassment, she didn't show it.
"There's no time like the present. I happen to have something to do today, so let's go find Young Master Tian together."
Li Youran didn't want to go to Tian Alang's residence, since Aunt Tian disliked him a lot, but he had no choice. For Tian Alang's happiness, Li Youran had to bite the bullet and go anyway.
The carriage turned left and right, eventually arriving at a quiet spot in an alley in the east of the city.
The carriage stopped in front of a courtyard that looked somewhat old, but was kept very clean. Inside the courtyard stood a towering tree.
The tree was very tall, casting its shadow over the entire yard.
