This is the key.

The Lin family is involved in this matter after all. The young lady of the Lin family must have been ruined. What if the Lin family can't bear this and makes trouble for their Ning family?

Although the Ning family is not afraid of the Lin family, this kind of matter involving children, and involving Ning Yunzhao, is ultimately criticized.

Her son should be perfect. It was bad enough that Jun Zhenzhen got entangled with him, but it was unbearable for Lin Jiner to get entangled with him again.

And he was angry.

He didn't care about Jun Zhenzhen's affairs before, but now he is angry. He would not be angry if the elders gave him the marriage, but now Yanyan is using the bait of becoming his concubine to seduce him, and he cannot tolerate it.

No one would be happy to be treated like this by someone, not even their own sister.

If it happens once, it will happen twice. To stop such behavior, punishment must be imposed as a warning.

Ning Yunzhao's own sister would also be punished and controlled for doing such a thing, so outsiders should consider the consequences of doing such things.

Madam Ning looked at him, feeling very conflicted.

On one side is a son, on the other side is a daughter. Both the palms and the backs of your hands are your flesh. How can you choose?

"Although Yanyan is still young, her mother has already made up her mind about who she should marry, and she is not really rushing her into marriage." Ning Yunzhao said, "After the marriage is arranged, she can stay at home and wait for her wedding with peace of mind, and learn from her mother how to manage the household and how to live a good life."

Instead of following those girls and recklessly flinging your youth.

Her life now was too easy, and the appearance of Miss Jun was a great disappointment to her. When she got married, became a wife, a daughter-in-law, and a mother, she would know that the sorrows and sadness of girlhood were nothing.

Madam Ning saw the determination on her son's face and sighed inwardly.

After all, a daughter belongs to someone else's family. She will get married sooner or later. It is for her own good to settle down early and focus on her relationship.

"Yan Yan's marriage has been planned for a long time. We originally wanted to make the engagement in June this year, and let your sister get married when she turns 15 next year. But since you are not coming back for the New Year this year, we might as well make the engagement now. That way you won't miss it." She said softly with a smile.

…

Ning Yunyan didn't know that her marriage was decided. She wanted to break in, but Cuizhu was brave enough to reach out and hold her back.

"Miss Seventeen, you are grown up now, don't act like a child and don't know the rules." She even said.

Ning Yunyan was so angry that she wanted to slap the girl twice, but the maid and the servant beside her rushed over after hearing the news.

As they were responsible for teaching etiquette, the maid and the servant urged them to stop.

Ning Yunyan had never suffered such humiliation in her life.

"Okay. I won't go in." She was so angry that her face turned red. "Cuizhu, just wait until mother asks me why I didn't come to pay my respects. Don't blame me for being rude then."

She said that and left angrily with her sleeves thrown.

The maids and servants hurried to follow.

Cuizhu stood there with a calm expression, and then the other girls on both sides came over.

"Cuizhu, why are you doing this? It would be better to let the young lady wait in the ear room." They whispered with some uneasiness.

"Madam has ordered that no one is allowed to come in." Cuizhu said.

"Are you stupid? Is Miss anyone? Why are you really comparing yourself to this?" the maids said one after another.

"Miss, isn't she a human being?" Cuizhu retorted.

This left the girls speechless.

"Forget it. Do whatever you want," they said.

Everyone dispersed, but Cuizhu still stood guard at the door.

Soon, footsteps were heard in the courtyard and the maids bowed.

"Tenth Young Master."

Cuizhu then turned around, stepped aside and bowed her head.

"Miss, haven't you come yet?" Ning Yunzhao walked to the door and stopped to ask.

The young lady was not such an impolite person. She came to greet the mistress every day, but this time she was angered by the maid and ran away.

The other maids looked at Cuizhu in silence with a sense of schadenfreude.

"The young lady has been here." Cuizhu answered directly.

Ning Yunzhao smiled and nodded at her and walked away without asking why he didn't see her.

The maids around were a little stunned, watching Ning Yunzhao walk away. After that, Madam Ning also came out. She didn't ask the young lady at all, let alone scold Cuizhu when she learned that the young lady was stopped.

It seems that the lady is really busy and won't see the young lady even if she comes. The maids can only guess this.

Ning Yunyan was also making strange guesses.

She waited until dark but Madam Ning never came to see her.

"It's really strange. How could mother not miss me if she hasn't seen me for a day?" she said, twisting her handkerchief.

"Madam is busy." The maid said, "She went to see the old lady in the morning, and then went out with the old man. When she came back, she went to see the third and fourth ladies."

"My brother is leaving in three days. Are you discussing sending him off?" Ning Yunyan guessed, but then she slammed the table in anger, "But mother will definitely miss me. When she asks me, we'll see."

The next morning, Ning Yunyan did not go to greet the eldest lady, but until the afternoon, no one from the eldest lady came to greet her.

Ning Yunyan felt something was wrong.

What is going on?

Mother is so busy? Why didn't she ask her for two days? When my uncle was impeached, the family was so tense, but my mother didn't forget to comfort her.

"Miss, Miss." A maid ran in happily, "Miss, the Shi family has come to make an order."

Make up your mind?

"Which sister is going to make up her mind? Why haven't I heard about it?" Ning Yunyan asked.

"Miss, it's reserved for you." The little girl said happily.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the girls in the room were stunned.

Ning Yunyan was even more shocked as if she had seen a ghost.

"Me?" she cried. "How did I make up my mind?"

Of course she would make a small engagement before getting married. She is a girl and she will always get married, but it is not like this.

She will only be getting married this year, and although she won't say it explicitly, her parents will definitely ask for her opinion and let her go on a secret date. Although the range of families is chosen by the family, her willingness or not is also a very important opinion.

This process will take at least a year to decide. As for making a decision and exchanging engagement letters, that will happen next year or even the year after.

How come you made the decision for no apparent reason?

"Did you hear it right?" Ning Yunyan shouted.

Moreover, what is the Shi family? Is it from Yangcheng? Who did she tell her about? How old is he? What does he look like? How is he educated? Is he a human or a ghost?

"It's true. The matchmaker has come, and the marriage will be officially settled tomorrow." The little girl bit her finger and trembled as she spoke, "She said that while the Tenth Master is still at home, we should have a good time. Everyone in the family knows about it now."

Ning Yunyan's face turned red and then pale.

This is impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible.

How could her father and mother treat her so carelessly?

She pushed the girl away and ran out.

…

Not only the Ning family knew about Ning Yunyan's decision, but many families in Yangcheng also received the news.

The Ning family changed their low-key style and invited many people to attend the small engagement ceremony.

It is not uncommon for girls to get married when they grow up, but the seventeenth young lady of the Ning family still surprised everyone.

Generally speaking, the wealthy families in Yangcheng all have an idea of ​​whose daughters have reached the appropriate age, and they all have their own plans about who they want to marry into, and they just wait until the age is about right to start discussing marriages.

But the seventeenth young lady of the Ning family was supposed to have started discussing marriage this year, so how come she suddenly decided on one?

Although the other party's family background is not bad and they are a good match for the Ning family, but the decision was made suddenly without any news released. It was too hasty and made people wonder if something had happened.

Others speculated on the reason, but Lord Lin knew it without having to guess.

He put down the post in his hand with a complicated expression.

"I didn't expect the Ning family would actually do this." He said to himself.

Once you are engaged, you are going to get married. You can no longer play and go out freely like a little girl. You have to stay at home and learn needlework, housekeeping, various rules, interpersonal relationships, and what adults should do.

Although every girl would do this, Lord Lin still felt a little sad.

It is always happier to be a child than to be an adult.

Children must grow up and take on the responsibilities they should.

Lord Lin put the post down.

"Go, tell the madam to pack up and send the young lady away," he said woodenly.

The maid in front of her answered yes.
