Chapter 79 Proposing a Marriage
"Madam Hou, don't worry, I will do my best to make this happen. It is a good thing that lovers finally get married, isn't it? If two people who have no love for each other get married, their lives will definitely be very different from those with love." Yun Zhirou continued to lobby.
Song Shuqing thought about it and nodded.
"Then I'll trouble the Fifth Princess."
It would be better to marry her daughter-in-law back as soon as possible, so that she can feel at ease as soon as possible.
Feng Tianxing, who had always been in the arms of the Fifth Princess, suddenly thought of the situation in the bookstore that day, and knew what was going on.
Then she thought about why the Fifth Princess was so active.
[This Fifth Princess is a smart person. It seems that she already knows something, and she is trying to show her goodwill to the Feng family. ]
Song Shuqing glanced at the concubine and didn't understand what she meant.
The princess is showing her goodwill to the Feng family?
Why?
But now is not the time to ask.
Yun Zhirou was very happy to get an affirmative answer from Song Shuqing.
"Xiao Tianxing, do you like Sister Yuan to be your sister-in-law?" She turned Feng Tianxing to face her and asked with a smile.
Feng Tianxing nodded happily of course.
That was the candidate for sister-in-law she had chosen.
She was almost dying of anxiety. Every time she saw Sister Yuan drinking the black bitter medicine soup, she felt distressed.
She was reluctant to wear that little cotton jacket. What if it got dirty and Sister Yuan had to make it for her again, which would be even more tiring for her.
Yun Zhirou acted quickly and went to Yuan's house the next day on the pretext of visiting Madam Yuan.
Outsiders only thought that she was jealous of Madam Yuan's poor health. She was already 36 years old and could still get pregnant and go to obtain scriptures.
Who in the whole capital didn't know that the fifth princess was eager to have a child.
Li Meixiang thought so too.
She received the Fifth Princess with a happy face.
The Fifth Princess was also very good at dealing with people. The experience of seeking children over the years had honed her arrogant princess temperament to be much more approachable.
"Madam Yuan, is your pregnancy stable? Are you vomiting a lot?" As soon as she sat down, Yun Zhirou asked about her daily life with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Princess. This little guy is probably here to collect debts. He vomits much more than when I was pregnant with Qiao Lan, but it's only in the morning. It's okay at other times." Li Meixiang answered truthfully.
Her hand unconsciously touched her belly that had not yet bulged. The halo of happiness really made Yun Zhirou envious.
She wished she could have a baby in her belly right away.
"Madam Yuan, I came here today to bring you a happy event." Yun Zhirou smiled and started to talk about business.
"What happy event?" What happy event could the Yuan family have now?
"Miss Yuan's marriage. I will find a matchmaker for her, what do you think?" Yun Zhirou looked at Li Meixiang eagerly.
Upon hearing this, Li Meixiang's face suddenly fell in sadness.
"Fifth Princess, I have ruined Qiaolan's life!
If I hadn't fallen, she would be healthy and might have given birth to a child now. Alas, it's all my fault." Li Meixiang said, tears streaming down her face. She regretted her whole life! "Madam Yuan, don't be sad, good people will be rewarded, Miss Yuan will get better." "I hope she gets better every day and find a good husband for her. We, as parents, can't be with her for the rest of her life.
What will happen to her when we two old people are gone? Fortunately, I am pregnant now, and someone will finally take care of her in the future. Even if I die, I will feel relieved." Li Meixiang wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. Fortunately, the concubine was not here at the moment, otherwise she would have been scolded and the pregnant woman would have cried. "There is a family willing to marry Miss Yuan, you don't have to worry too much. I'm talking about Prince Feng from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, what do you think?" "What? Yuan Hao? That won't do, he's a good kid, we can't harm the Feng family, Prince Feng's leg is almost healed, he is going to inherit the title of the Feng Mansion, he can't be without an heir, no, no." Li Meixiang waved her hands repeatedly. "Madam Yuan, why not? How did Prince Feng's leg get better? They hired a great doctor. If Miss Yuan is also treated, she will definitely get better. If she can get married earlier, the Feng family will spare no effort to treat her. Do you know that your daughter is one of the best girls in the whole capital? If it weren't for her health, the doorstep of your Yuan family would have been broken down by matchmakers. How could it be my turn to come today?" Yun Zhirou presented facts and reason, trying her best to convince Li Meixiang. Li Meixiang was silent and thought a lot. "Fifth Princess, what is the attitude of the Feng family on this matter?" "Of course, I went to the Feng family first and got a positive answer before coming here." Yun Zhirou stated the attitude of the Feng family very straightforwardly. Li Meixiang was shocked. She didn't expect the Feng family to be so clear. Is it because the old man is the teacher of Prince Feng that he is repaying the favor? "I cannot give you an answer right away. We will discuss it after the child's father comes back and then give you an answer." At noon that day, Yuan Yinan went home for lunch, and Li Meixiang told this matter behind Yuan Qiaolan's back. "Madam, we can't harm the Feng Mansion. You are pregnant and have received a great favor from them. What if Qiaolan can no longer be cured? That's not marriage, it's enmity." "But what about the Feng Mansion? We can't let the relationship become strained because of this. Prince Feng comes to our house every other day." Li Meixiang was worried that the relationship between the two families would become distant because of this. " " It's okay, I'll talk to Yuan Hao about this. I guess he was the one who started it. Otherwise, how could the Feng Mansion agree. This is a good child who knows how to be grateful. "Yuan Yinan was inspired. He thought Feng Yuanhao was asking for his daughter's hand in marriage for his mentor. "Should we tell Qiaolan?" Li Meixiang had not let Yuan Qiaolan know that the fifth princess came to propose marriage until now. "Don't tell her yet, so that the two children won't be embarrassed when they meet in the future." The next day, Feng Yuanhao brought his sister to Yuan's house for class as usual. He knew that the fifth princess came to help propose marriage the day before yesterday. This matter was just like a dream.
He originally planned to let Yuan Qiaolan fall in love with him over time, and then things would come naturally, but it would be better if he could marry her earlier so that he could get her back to health sooner. He
wanted to give money directly to the Yuan family, but he thought the teacher would definitely not accept it. So every time he brought some practical food and supplies.
He will be eighteen in a few months. If he gets engaged now, he can get married next year.
Yuan Yinan came back from his shift and saw Feng Yuanhao already waiting for him in the study reading a book.
Let's not eat first, let's talk about business first.
Yuan Yinan and Li Meixiang went into the study together.
The smart Feng Tianxing heard the sound of the courtyard gate opening and closing, and knew that Uncle Yuan was back.
He pulled Yuan Qiaolan out, said hello, and then pulled her into the lady's room to continue the story just now.
Hearing the sound of the study door closing again, she pulled Yuan Qiaolan and quietly came to the study door. She wanted to listen to what the adults said.
She also put a finger on her lips: Shuh!
To prevent Yuan Qiaolan from making any sound.
Yuan Qiaolan wanted to laugh at that little look, but she nodded to promise not to make any sound.
Although it was very impolite to eavesdrop on adults' conversations, curiosity made her suppress the urge to leave.
In the study, the three of them sat down.
"Yuanhao, do you know that the fifth princess is here to propose marriage?" Yuan Yinan did not beat around the bush.
This student has been very good so far. He studies hard, makes rapid progress, has a commendable spirit, and is a good student.
"I know." Feng Yuanhao replied respectfully.
"Is it your idea or your family's idea?"
