Chapter 380
Qinfangyuan.
This courtyard had been empty for a long time. Yao Duoduo was not satisfied with the courtyard that Yun Wan had arranged before, so she chose this one after walking around the backyard for a long time.
As night deepened, Yao Duoduo still couldn't fall asleep.
The maid, A-Lu, standing to the side, noticed that her mistress was preoccupied and asked, "Miss, what are you thinking about?"
Yao Duoduo sighed: "Isn't this all part of my marriage arrangements?"
She has now arrived at the Marquis's residence, but right now, everyone outside is busy dealing with Yao Susu's affairs and can't pay any attention to her. How can she not be anxious?
A-Lu advised her, "Don't worry, young lady. Once that person is engaged, the master and his wife will naturally start making arrangements for you when they have time."
Yao Duoduo sighed again: "You know, even if Madam is planning for me, she won't just stand by and watch me surpass my older sister, will she?"
She was an illegitimate daughter and had been suppressed by Yao Susu for several years. She had had enough and did not want to be suppressed by Yao Susu after she got married!
However, her mother was only a concubine and couldn't come along this time, and Luo Shi was Yao Susu's mother, so she certainly wouldn't care much about her affairs...
Yao Duoduo's gaze gradually hardened.
The next morning, Yao Duoduo went to Liuyun Garden.
Yun Wan didn't know Yao Duoduo's purpose in coming, but Yao Duoduo wasn't the type to keep things to herself. Without Yun Wan asking, she spoke up: "I heard that my eldest sister was able to find a good match thanks to my cousin-in-law."
Upon hearing her words, Yun Wan's expression involuntarily stiffened for a moment.
What was her contribution?
She was reprimanded by Madam Zheng for this.
Yun Wan recalled unpleasant memories, and the smile on her face faded considerably: "Have some tea."
Yao Duoduo obediently picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The tea here is so delicious, I've never had it before!"
Looking at her, Yun Wan roughly understood Yao Duoduo's purpose in coming.
That's perfect.
After Yao Duoduo finished the tea to show that she liked it, Yun Wan smiled and said, "If you like it, you can take some with you and drink it slowly when you get home."
Yao Duoduo's face flushed slightly.
She doesn't really like it; she's just putting on an act.
"Thank you, cousin-in-law."
Yun Wan nodded and then started chatting with her.
During this time, Yao Duoduo repeatedly tried to bring up her purpose for coming, but Yun Wan either deliberately ignored her or changed the subject, so Yao Duoduo could never get to the point.
After sitting there for so long, Yao Duoduo just smiled and didn't say a single useful word.
With noon approaching, Yao Duoduo felt embarrassed to stay for lunch, so she reluctantly got up and left.
Yun Wan subtly gave Pearl a wink, and Pearl understood, taking two steps forward and saying, "This servant will see you off."
Along the way, seeing that Yao Duoduo seemed preoccupied, Pearl asked, "Miss Yao, what's wrong?"
Yao Duoduo shuddered and quickly said, "It's nothing!"
Pearl nodded and truly remained silent.
But now that the topic had been raised, Yao Duoduo couldn't hold back any longer.
After a moment of silence, Yao Duoduo finally spoke up: "Sister Pearl, you know my background. It's so difficult for me to have any good intentions!"
Hearing her words, Pearl's face also showed a touch of emotion: "Yes, Miss Yao is a concubine's daughter. This time she came with Lord Yao and Madam Yao without her own mother by her side. It is indeed not easy for her."
