After hearing what Wang Si said, Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong with his memory. Why were things in his previous life completely different from those in this life?

Is there some inside story that she doesn't know?

And the "cousin" of the great aunt in the previous life, was she the sister-in-law of the Zeng family that Wang Si mentioned? Was she telling the truth or a lie in her previous life? If she was lying, it would be fine, she was just being deceived. If she was telling the truth, if the child was still alive now, she couldn't just watch the child get into trouble, could she?

Yu Tang felt a severe headache, so he had to tell Wang Si: "Go and check it out for me again." Then he described to Wang Si in detail the appearance of his great aunt's "cousin" in his previous life.

Wang Si scratched his head in confusion and said, "Zeng's sister-in-law looks exactly like what Miss said! But I did ask around, she has no sons, only five daughters."

He said it so decisively that Yu Tang had to believe him.

Yu Tang sighed in his heart.

She couldn't find the person, and no matter whether those words in the previous life were true or false, she could do nothing!

Yu Tang's heart was pounding as he thought about all this. He always felt that many things in his past life had an unclear relationship with the Pei Mansion and Pei Yan, the head of the Pei Mansion at that time.

She suddenly wanted to see Pei Yan very much.

But for some reason, the New Year was approaching and it was Pei Yan's busiest time, so she was too embarrassed to disturb him.

In this way, Yu Tang waited until he could go with his mother to give New Year gifts to Mr. Pei.

The side hall of the main courtyard of the Pei Mansion was filled with women from several families waiting to greet Mr. Pei. They were all very surprised to see Yu Tang and his daughter. You know, at this time of year, not many families can enter the inner house and wait to see Mr. Pei. Everyone knows each other. The Yu family has gradually become close to the Pei family after Pei Yan took over the family in the past two years. The women of the Yu family were not qualified to see Mr. Pei during the Chinese New Year last year, but this year they can enter the house to greet Mr. Pei. This made them re-evaluate the relationship between the Pei and Yu families. While examining and sizing up the mother and daughter of the Yu family, they all smiled enthusiastically. They talked to the mother and daughter of the Yu family without being particularly flattering or making people feel left out, and introduced themselves to each other.

Chen was smiling as she interacted with everyone, neither humble nor overbearing, which made the passing Yi Laoan look up to her. When she saw Pei Laoan, she praised her, "Like mother, like daughter. Miss Yu is a simple and easy-going person, and her mother seems to have a similar personality. This mother and daughter are worth getting to know."

Mr. Pei laughed and met Yu Tang and her daughter in advance.

Chen first told Mrs. Pei about the gifts she asked Yu Tang to take home, thanked her sincerely, and then wished Mrs. Pei a happy new year in advance. As for the gift list, she had already handed it to the steward of the Pei Mansion when they entered the mansion.

Old Master Pei looked Chen up and down with a smile. She was wearing ordinary clothes, but she looked very pretty. Yu Tang looked more lively than her, but he didn't look exactly like her. He looked more like Yu Xiucai.

She nodded secretly, praised Yu Tang's performance during the few days he stayed at her house, and invited Chen to the Pei family to attend the spring banquet on the fifth day of the first lunar month. She said, "They are all wives who often visit our family. You don't have to be so reserved. Just bring Miss Yu over. She has come up with a good idea this time." She told Chen about the Ku'an Temple.

Although Chen had already heard about this from Yu Tang, since this matter was praised by Pei Laoan, Yu Tang would have a good reputation. In the future, whether she gets married or does something else, it will be beneficial to her.

Chen was overjoyed and agreed quickly, as if she was afraid that Mr. Pei would go back on his word.

There are too many people around Mr. Pei who want something, so Mr. Pei prefers people like Chen and Yu Tang who say whatever they want. Even if he is happy, he expresses it clearly without being pretentious, which suits Mr. Pei's temperament very well.

After returning from Pei's house, the festive atmosphere became stronger and stronger. Everyone in the Yu family was busy every day, and everyone was busy and happy - not only was the family safe this year, Yu Yuan got married, and his wife was pregnant. Even the business in the shop was gradually picking up. They bought land, and the business in Jiangchao had only good news if there was no bad news... This year was a year of good harvest for the Yu family.

While eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Yu Bo personally poured some wine for everyone in the family, and said with emotion: "Our Yu family has finally turned around."

The aunt seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

It would be even better if Yu Tang's marriage could be settled.

But nothing is perfect in this world. Things are going well at home, and maybe even better things will happen next year.

She smiled and raised her glass, saying, "Next year will be even better."

Everyone responded with a smile.

Chen was also very happy and drank half a cup of wine.

She used to worry about her daughter's marriage, but after she and Yu Tang went to meet Mr. Pei, her heart suddenly settled down.

The daughter is capable, and even Pei Laoan looks up to her. Even if she doesn't have a suitable marriage for the time being, she can take care of herself and live a good life. Isn't this what the couple originally hoped for?

In the blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival, and Yu Tang went out with his brother and sister-in-law to watch the lanterns.

The Pei family sent someone to invite her to visit the Pei residence on the second day of the second lunar month. The one who delivered the invitation was the third steward Hu Xing. He said to Yu Wen, "I heard that the young ladies did not rest during the New Year and hired a master to learn how to make incense at home. The incense made by the young ladies was lit at the Lantern Festival banquet this year. The old Ans, the old ladies, and the old masters and wives in the family all said that it smelled good. I guess that the old Ans invited the young ladies to the mansion, most likely for the purpose of making incense. After all, this matter was proposed by Miss Yu, and it is reasonable and emotional that he should give your young lady an explanation!"

Yu Wen was very proud in his heart, but he said modestly: "This is also the kindness of Mrs. An. Please tell Mrs. An when you go back that our daughter will definitely visit on time."

Hu Xing left happily.

Chen was nervous and wanted to make new clothes for Yutang.

Yu Tang stopped her mother and said, "Mr. Pei is a generous person and doesn't care about these things. Moreover, she is a widow and it's not good for her to wear too flashy clothes."

Chen then sounded the call to withdraw her troops, and on the second day of February, she sent Yu Tang to Pei's mansion.

Mr. Pei was waiting for her in the hall. Besides Mr. Pei, there was also Mr. Yi, an old lady with a somewhat unfamiliar face, the second wife, and several young ladies of the Pei family. The whole room was filled with people and it was very lively.

Yu Tang hurried forward and bowed, only then did he realize that the old woman was the wife of Pei Yong from the fifth room, and the grandmother of the fourth young lady.

Mrs. Pei smiled and asked her how she spent the New Year and why she did not come to visit the Pei family.

Chen was afraid that Mr. Pei would have too many guests and their presence would tire him out, so she just followed the custom and sent a visiting card on the morning of New Year's Day as a way of wishing Mr. Pei a happy new year.

Yu Tang answered them one by one.

Several young ladies from the Pei family started to chatter. One said, "Sister Yu, you are too polite to us. We were expecting you to come during the New Year, but you never came." Another said, "I said we should send someone to Sister Yu's house to invite someone, but you said no, and we didn't see Sister Yu until today." It was very noisy.

Mr. Yong frowned and said to Mr. Pei, "Look at your most beloved child, what has he become?" He sounded a little serious.

The young ladies of the Pei family also calmed down all of a sudden.

Pei Laoan smiled disapprovingly and said, "If the children don't make noise, will the adults make noise? Just let them be."

Yong Laoan said nothing more.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Pei Laoan and Yu Tang talked about making incense: "Second and third girls tried several times, and finally made it before the Lantern Festival. It smells good, too. I sent someone to send it to the manager to see how to sell it. I called you here this time to talk to you about this. We are going to go to Ku'an Temple again in the next two days to see if the masters and lay Buddhists there can make incense."

Yu Tang understood and said with a smile, "Just tell me when you are leaving, and I will go with you to Ku'an Temple then." As for her mother and aunt wanting to help, she felt that it was not appropriate to mention it at this time. It would be better to wait until the matter of Ku'an Temple was settled and everyone was going to help before going to help, so as to prevent someone from misunderstanding that the Yu family wanted to take credit for the work.

We decided to go there on the fourth day of February, stay overnight, and come back the next day.

Yu Tang thought it was a good idea. She would then visit Ku'an Temple privately to see who she knew from her previous life.

Afterwards, she was called by several young ladies from the Pei family to watch the incense making.

Grinding, mixing, solidifying... after seeing the whole set of incense making, Yu Tang was excited and prepared to bring a few sticks back for his mother and aunt to try and see if they thought they smelled good.

The Third Miss proudly told her, "We also made loose incense and tower incense. Sister Yu can take some home to smell."

Yu Tang agreed with a smile, but when they turned around, they saw Aunt Chen trotting past them with a serious expression.

"What's going on?" Miss Five asked in confusion.

Aunt Chen is an elder in front of Mr. Pei. She is always calm and steady in her work, and he has never seen her like this before.

The second young lady's face turned pale, and she hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

As expected of a sister who shared the same room with her, the Third Miss quickly guessed the Second Miss's anxiety and said hesitantly, "It can't be the Yang family..."

Apart from the second young lady's marriage, they couldn't think of anything else that could make Aunt Chen lose her composure like this.

The Fourth Miss and Yu Tang were also worried.

The Fifth Miss immediately said, "I'll ask someone to go ask."

Yu Tang knew clearly that she should avoid it at this time, but she was more concerned about the mood of the Second Miss, so she followed the Miss Peis and waited for Asan's reply.

Suddenly the atmosphere became very tense.

Fortunately, Asan came back soon.

She looked flustered, and before she could even stand still, she was already panting and pleading, "Oh no, oh no, someone from the Yang family is here, saying they want to be a matchmaker for Miss Gu..."
