Chapter 252
Since Luo went to see Zheng that day, she has not taken any action for two days.
At first, Zheng was worried that Yao Susu would come to her door. After all, Zheng did not dislike this cousin, and she could not refuse her as she had done with Luo. Unexpectedly, Yao Susu never came.
Zheng was at peace with himself and spent his days copying scriptures and chanting Buddhist prayers, living a leisurely and carefree life as usual.
Meanwhile, Yao Susu continued to visit Jibai Residence every day, staying there for an entire day at a time.
"It would be great if my cousin came back a little later every day. I'm still going back too early now."
Yunxi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You don't go back until dark every day now, how come it's still early?"
Yao Susu sighed, "You have no idea, every time I go back home now, my mother keeps nagging me to go see my aunt."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi raised an eyebrow: "You want me to go and beg the madam to come in?"
Yao Susu nodded.
She was unwilling to help Yunxi, but even less willing to cooperate with the Luo family.
The only thing she's willing to do now is to lie down and let things be arranged for her. Asking her to fight for it? That's impossible.
After all, being used as a ladder is bad enough. If you have to use her as a ladder and then have to sacrifice your dignity, wouldn't that be even worse?
Seeing that she had such an attitude, Yunxi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The Zheng family's attitude was firm; they would definitely not agree unless Yao Susu went there in person.
This project is not going to happen.
“By the way, I won’t be coming tomorrow,” Yao Susu said. “My cousin-in-law has arranged a matchmaking event, and I have to show my face there.”
When this was mentioned, Yunxi became interested: "Who were the people arranged?"
"I think his name is... Chi Changhua. He's the younger brother of the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, and he's currently working at the Court of Imperial Sacrifices."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi was stunned: "Younger brother?"
Although she didn't know what the Court of Imperial Sacrifices did, since it was a legitimate official position, this person was probably quite old. Her younger brother...
Isn't she a generation younger than Yao Susu?
Seeing Yunxi's strange expression, Yao Susu asked, "What's with that expression?"
"It's nothing," Yunxi said. "Do you have any picture books? When your cousin comes back tonight, I'll ask him to take a look."
"Yes, but I'd rather not ask my cousin to take a look. It's just a small matter for me, and it's not worth bothering him."
"Oh, just let me take a look."
"You're the one who wants to see it, aren't you?" Yao Susu glanced at her sideways.
"Okay, Susu, just bring it over!"
"...I just can't do anything with you!"
Yao Susu rolled her eyes, then turned and instructed her maid to go back and bring the picture album.
Taking the picture book in her hand, Yunxi was stunned when she saw Chi Changhua's portrait.
The person in the portrait has a decent appearance, but the signs of age on his face are quite pronounced.
Yunxi flipped through the booklet with a skeptical look, and then had to admit that Chi Changhua was already one of the better people listed in the booklet.
"Are the people of Luoyang... really that bad?"
Yao Susu wholeheartedly agreed: "So you should be secretly happy that you met my cousin!"
Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth.
Judging from the current situation, she should be secretly happy.
——
As soon as Shen Rang returned home that evening, Yun Xi mysteriously pulled him into the warm pavilion.
Seeing her suspicious look, Shen Rang's expression softened unconsciously: "What's wrong?"
Yunxi didn't say anything, but closed the door of the warm pavilion herself. Then she turned to the page of the picture album with Chi Changhua and handed it to him: "Look at this man. He is the husband that Madam Yao chose for Miss Yao."
Shen Rang glanced down and immediately frowned: "I recognize this person, but his age doesn't seem to match Su Su's."
“More than that,” Yunxi said. “Just look at this booklet and you’ll see. This younger brother of Chi Shaoqing is already considered quite good!”
