Upon hearing that the other party said it was the Lin family, Yun Zhourong immediately frowned. "Is it the Lin family whose ancestors were Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) and who settled in Qiongshan County when they served as officials?"
"Yes, that's right, that's right, Your Highness, you know, that's wonderful..."
"But I've heard that their young master has homosexual tendencies."
The matchmaker was excitedly talking when Yun Zhourong interrupted her.
She remembered that Liu Heilai, who had bullied Zhao Xuanheng and his brother, was the lackey of the young master of the Lin family.
Furthermore, it is said that the young master of the Lin family has taken a liking to Zhao Xuanheng.
Looking back now, the Lin family was lucky. If Zhao Xuanheng hadn't lost his memory and become a little fool, daring to covet someone from the royal family like that would have meant the extermination of his entire clan.
"What?! You actually introduced this to our Ruan Ruan!"
Zhao had always believed Yun Zhourong's words without question. After hearing them, she was filled with rage and stepped forward to question the matchmaker.
In her heart, Yun Zhourong's marriage has always been of great importance.
She was very attentive, afraid of not finding a good one.
The fact that the matchmaker had found someone like this was seen as an insult to Yun Zhourong, so how could she not be angry?
"Oh dear, that's just because the young master is young and playful. Don't take it seriously."
However, the matchmaker didn't take it to heart at all, and even tried to gloss over the situation with an indifferent expression, saying, "The county princess is so beautiful. Once she marries into the family and starts living together, the young master will naturally know that the taste of women is even better."
"roll!"
Upon hearing these words, Zhao was not persuaded at all; instead, she was so angry that she trembled and immediately told the matchmaker to leave.
This matchmaker didn't treat Yun Zhourong like a human being at all; her words were full of humiliation and contempt. There was absolutely no way she would agree to this marriage!
"Pah! Don't you even look at yourselves? Do you really think that having the title of county princess makes you nobles? You powerless, big-footed women, if it weren't for the Lin family's willingness to accept you, would you have been able to climb this high branch?"
This matchmaker was quite famous in the entire Qiongshan County. She had always treated her with great respect and flattery. This was the first time she had been treated so rudely, and she was so angry that she broke down and started to mock her.
"We have never intended to climb the social ladder. If you don't like it, please don't come. We don't welcome you!"
Zhao was so angry that her eyes turned red. She looked around, then picked up a carrying pole and started hitting the matchmaker. "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"You...you are simply unreasonable! You call yourself the headmaster's wife? I think you're more like a shrew!"
When the matchmaker saw that she was truly angry, she knew that the marriage was definitely off. As she walked away, she cursed and said, "You dare to offend me? We'll see who dares to marry you!"
"Well... it seems today isn't a good time to propose marriage. Let's come back another day, another day!"
The other matchmakers exchanged glances and quickly left as well.
"Hey you guys..." Upon seeing this, Zhao quickly tried to stop them.
She wasn't an unreasonable person; it was just that the matchmaker the Lin family had hired earlier had gone too far. She still really wanted to find a good marriage for Yun Zhourong.
"Alright, Mother, look at how guilty they look. You can tell that the people who came to talk to us probably aren't any good people."
Yun Zhourong, however, was more rational and stopped her.
Is...that's how it is?
Zhao was stunned for a moment, then took Yun Zhourong's hand and said with heartache and self-reproach, "Marriage is a major event in a woman's life, and it should not be taken lightly. I'm just worried that if I offend that matchmaker, what will happen if you have difficulty finding a husband in the future? I was too impulsive."
“Mother, what she said was so outrageous. Even if you didn’t say anything, I would still scold her.”
Yun Zhourong was deeply moved. Seeing Zhao Shi's troubled expression, she blurted out, "Mother, actually, I already have someone I love."
"Oh, really? When did this happen?"
Zhao was very surprised and quickly asked, "Whose son is he? Tell me so your parents can help you choose him."
"this…"
Yun Zhourong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let me ask him what he thinks, and then I'll tell you."
"Ruanruan, are you just making this up to put our minds at ease?" Zhao asked suspiciously.
"Of course not, you'll find out when the time comes, and you'll know that person too," Yun Zhourong quickly assured her.
"We know each other too?"
Now, Zhao was even more confused and guessed, "Could it be one of our students?"
Yun Zhourong knew that no matter how the Zhao family guessed, they would never guess that it was Ji Minxiu.
He replied ambiguously, "Please don't ask anymore, I won't tell you now."
Just then, Yun Hongcheng and the others returned for dinner, and Zhao could only swallow all her words.
Thinking she should wait and see, if Yun Zhourong really was lying, then she could continue making arrangements.
She would be willing to personally apologize to the matchmaker.
Yun Zhourong remembered that Ji Minxiu had told her during the day that he had important matters to attend to tonight, so he wouldn't be coming over.
She didn't want to disturb him, so she didn't call anyone over and just tossed and turned alone.
In Kyoto, the emperor just received a letter from Zhou Renjun.
Upon learning of Zhao Xuanheng's condition, he was deeply worried and immediately replied, agreeing to treat him using Gu techniques, but instructing that safety must be guaranteed.
As for Consort Xian, Zhao Xuanheng's birth mother, they kept it a secret for the time being, fearing that she would worry too much.
As a result, the letter was intercepted by Zhao Yuwan's men as soon as it was sent out.
"Ha, Zhao Xuanheng has actually turned into an idiot."
