Gu Xin finished reading the letter and noticed that although the letter kept expressing longing and talking about meeting, it never mentioned where they would meet.
Moreover, the young man always said he was very busy and would definitely visit Feng Jinshu when he had time. This indicates that the young man knew the Feng family or someone in the Feng family. Otherwise, given the Feng family's upbringing, it's not like any outsider could just see the girls of the family whenever they wanted.
Just like what happened today, apart from asking questions, the Yun family didn't actually need Gu Xin to give any special instructions; they had already told everyone to stay inside.
Gu Xin turned her head and saw that Zheng Qiu was still busy. After thinking for a moment, she put away the letter and left the room.
Outside, Gu En was chatting with Fatty Wang, while Madam Yun waited anxiously at the door.
When Gu Xin came out, the three of them surrounded her. Gu Xin stepped out of the room and closed the door behind her.
"Mrs. Feng, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you," Gu Xin said.
"Princess, do you think we've discovered something again?" Yun asked.
"Does Madam Feng know any men in the Feng family whose names contain the character 'jade'? Also, what is the name of Madam Feng's second nephew?" Gu Xin asked.
“My second sister-in-law’s maiden name is Qi, and her nephew’s name contains the character for jade, Mo Yu. Qi Mo Yu,” Madam Yun replied, then paused, asking incredulously, “Princess, could this matter be related to that Qi family’s Yu Lang?”
"Qi Yulang?" Gu Xin raised an eyebrow and read it aloud.
"That's right. Qi Yulang doesn't really like the name Moyu, but it was given to him by his grandfather, who wouldn't let him change it. So, he often calls himself Qi Yulang when he's out in public. We've gotten used to calling him that too," Yun explained.
"I see! Before the sisters in the Feng family started vying for the same fiancé, what was Qi Yulang's attitude towards Miss Feng the Third?" Gu Xin nodded and asked again.
“That boy was fine before, and he was good to Jinshu. I thought this marriage was a perfect match, a sure thing. But I don’t know what happened to Qi Yulang, he started making a fuss about breaking off the engagement. My second sister-in-law’s family is very good to her and likes Jinshu very much, so naturally they will not allow Qi Yulang to break off the engagement,” said Madam Yun.
"Please tell me in detail, Madam Feng, what kind of person is this Qi Yulang?" Gu Xin said.
"He's very polite, and he's also very well-educated. He's already passed the imperial examination and is just waiting to go to the capital for the final exam this year. No one who knows him has a bad word to say about him. So, when he insisted on breaking off the engagement and even threatened to kill himself, everyone was very surprised. Some even thought that something had gone wrong on Jinshu's side. But how could something go wrong with a daughter of the Feng family? The two families even had a falling out over this. My second sister-in-law hasn't been back to her parents' home for quite some time," Yun said with emotion.
"Really? So, is the Second Madam's family also from the prefectural city?" Gu Xin asked again.
"Yes, in the prefectural city. The Qi family is large and powerful, but they have few descendants, with at most two male heirs in each branch. Yulang's branch only has him as a male heir. But he is not arrogant or impatient, and he has not been spoiled at all. I just don't know why he wanted to break off the engagement. He said he had taken a fancy to Xiao Si'er, but I always felt there was something wrong with that. But the fact that Yulang eloped with Xiao Si'er is undeniable. Sigh, this whole thing is a mess." Madam Yun was quite annoyed as she spoke. If it weren't for what happened, she wouldn't have wanted to mention this matter at all.
