Chapter 239
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan felt even more uncertain: "Tell the people outside to hurry up and get the list done as soon as possible. I need to go and see what the situation is over there."
"yes."
With Yun Wan's instruction, the people below worked day and night, and delivered the goods the next day.
Just like last time, Yun Wan selected all the people from the most prestigious families.
This time, the people sent were either too old or too young, and after Yun Wan's screening, there were none left that were even remotely acceptable.
Luo was worried.
In this vast city of Luoyang, how come there isn't a single person who is good-looking and comes from a respectable family?
Yun Wan looked around and asked, "Where's my cousin?"
Luo was distracted and casually replied, "I went out to play."
"Going to see my concubine again?" Yun Wan raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect the two of them to get along so well."
Luo snorted coldly: "Your concubine is really something. Not only can she bewitch men, but I never thought that women couldn't escape her charms either."
She also felt that the concubine was of low status and not presentable, and did not want Yao Susu to go there often. Unexpectedly, Yao Susu liked her so much that she even argued with her repeatedly. Luo could not persuade her daughter otherwise, so she could only let her go.
“Actually, this is for the best,” Yunwan said. “My aunt can’t find a suitable person, and my cousin gets along so well with the concubines in the family. If my cousin could enter the Marquis’s mansion, wouldn’t that be double happiness and strengthen the bond between relatives?”
In the past, Luo would have scoffed at her suggestion, but now, Luo looked at the sketchbook in her hand and then at the sketchbook placed aside, her feelings complicated.
Yun Wan took in her actions, calmly took a sip of tea, and then spoke: "Speaking of family background, there are few that can compare with the Marquis's family, not to mention that the young master is outstanding in both appearance and character, and is also His Highness the Crown Prince's person, with a bright future ahead! Besides, my cousin is family. If she really enters the gates of the Marquis's family, it will be like coming home. I don't understand what my aunt is worried about."
Luo glanced at her, pondering Yun Wan's words carefully.
She was already related to the Marquis's family, so even if Yao Susu wasn't implicated, the Marquis's family couldn't just stand by and do nothing. What she wanted to do when she came to the capital this time was to broaden her path.
But after reading these two booklets, her heart was almost half dead.
Luo sighed, preparing to work late into the night to conduct another round of selection, and then said, "Alright, I understand. You can go back now."
How could Yun Wan not be angry at her dismissive attitude towards her?
However, as she stepped outside and looked at the gate of Jibai Residence not far away, her anger turned into schadenfreude.
What's the use of having a good relationship with Yao Susu now? Once Yao Susu is married into the family, if Shen Rang doesn't visit Yao Susu for ten or fifteen days, she doesn't believe Yao Susu won't become dissatisfied with Yun Xi.
Even if there isn't one, there's still her, isn't there?
It's just stirring up trouble; it's not a difficult thing.
If one attempt to provoke her doesn't work, she'll try again; she has plenty of patience anyway.
Yun Wan snorted coldly and turned back to Liuyun Garden.
"Young Madam, will this work?" Pearl was still a little unsure.
“Even if it doesn’t work out, it’s close enough,” Yun Wan said with a smile. “In my opinion, my aunt is already starting to waver.”
But that's not enough; she needs to give it another push.
“I remember Ning Shuang sent me an invitation yesterday, inviting me to her house to admire the plum blossoms.”
"Indeed."
"Go tell Ning Shuang that I'll be taking those two with me, and by the way..."
Yun Wan whispered something in her ear, and Pearl smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.
