With no one around, Yunxi didn't need to hold back when she spoke, her eyes coldly fixed on Changzhou: "Don't even think about my sister, or I'll risk my life to make sure your Lin family has no peace."
Changzhou didn't believe it. Their Lin family couldn't compare to the powerful Niohuru family, but they weren't insignificant either. If Yunqi really wanted to make their Lin family miserable, his own situation wouldn't be good either.
A lose-lose situation would be the least of your worries.
Yunxi stared intently at Changzhou, saying nonchalantly, "You're welcome to try. I'll settle all scores, old and new. I'll let bygones be bygones, but you're setting your sights on my sister. You don't even know your own limitations."
Changzhou was naturally angry at being insulted in such a way, but he couldn't argue with him.
He felt a pang of sadness in his heart, but forced himself to remain calm. He retorted sharply, "Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Cousin, aren't you being a bit too nosy?"
Yunqi looked at Changzhou without saying a word.
Changzhou, realizing his own limitations, stopped talking and went elsewhere.
No one else was invited today; it was purely Lin Jia's return to her parents' home. Of course, the ultimate purpose was probably to discuss Yun Qing's marriage to Changzhou.
Which side is Linjia's?
Lin Jia said with a smile, "Zhou'er is all grown up now. I wonder what your plans are, Second Sister-in-law?"
Her second sister-in-law was from the Guarjia clan. By the way, coincidentally, she was Baqi's maternal uncle.
Guarjia: "Zhou'er is not young anymore. We wanted to arrange a marriage for him a couple of years ago, but Zhou'er said that we couldn't delay his pursuit of beauty, so the matter was put on hold. Now it seems that he needs a well-educated and sensible wife to take good care of his daily life, so that he can devote all his energy to his studies."
It was easy to tell from Guarjia's words that her son was wonderful in her eyes; the filter of a loving mother is indeed incredibly strong.
If an ordinary mother with a daughter of marriageable age heard these words, she would probably feel uncomfortable. After all, every family's daughter is a treasure. Guarjia's words treated her daughter-in-law who had not yet come as someone to serve her son's daily life, which was no different from being a servant.
But Lin Jia didn't think anything of it.
She could even laugh and agree, saying, "Second sister-in-law is right. Yunqi only became ambitious after getting married. I think Zhou'er will settle down after getting married and will surely achieve good results in the next imperial examination."
I don't know what Lin Jia was thinking. Her own son is named Yunxi, and she calls him by his given name, but other people's sons are called Zhou'er. Her favoritism is outrageous.
At this moment, the old lady of the mansion, Madam Chen Jia, spoke up: "What you said is right. Zhou'er is indeed a good child. He is not young anymore. Everyone says that one should settle down and start a family. One can take his time to study for official titles. He should have a legitimate son. Besides, it would be more reassuring to have someone by his side to take care of him."
Lin Jia: "Mother is right."
Madam Chen loved her second son the most, and naturally she valued his legitimate son even more. In other words, she was biased. She was open about her bias, and since there was no old master in the mansion, no one dared to contradict her decision.
Guarjia and Linjia naturally smiled and echoed her. Guarjia was not in a position to praise her son herself, so Linjia naturally took her place, praising her spoiled nephew to Chenjia as a genius who was unparalleled in heaven and rare in the world.
Chen Jia was satisfied with what she heard, and Guarjia was also pleased.
After the praise, it was time to discuss serious matters. Both sides had plans regarding the marriage of Changzhou and Yunqing.
Lin Jia felt that there was nothing wrong with her family, so she naturally rushed to arrange the marriage.
Guarjia also hoped that the marriage would go through. She knew her son's true situation, though others might not. His family background was indeed good, but he was too good at getting away with things. If you really inquired, you would find that his behavior was enough to scare people away.
She was satisfied with Yun Qing's appearance, family background, and character; she was satisfied in her heart. However, seeing her sister-in-law's eager manner, she was inclined to delay.
Guarjia said with a smile, "Mother is right. By the way, Yunqing came over today too, didn't she? I haven't seen that child in a long time, and I miss her very much."
When Lin Jia heard her mention her daughter, she knew there was hope: "You came early today. Before Second Sister-in-law arrived, Yun Qing went with Chang Ling to play with the sisters in the mansion. You'll see her when we eat later."
Guarjia: "I see! I should have come sooner. By the way, Yunqing is of marriageable age. I wonder what your plans are, sister?"
Lin Jia didn't understand what she meant. She knew perfectly well what Lin Jia was planning, so why was she asking?
Lin Jia said, "Of course I hope Yunqing can marry into a familiar environment, so she won't suffer any grievances."
Lin Jia's meaning was already quite clear, but Guarjia pretended not to understand: "Oh dear, there's plenty to look for then. I'll keep a close eye out for my sister later."
Lin Jia also sensed the unspoken message from Guarjia at this moment, and she was more direct: "What does Second Sister-in-law mean by this?"
Guarjia smiled and said, "What could I possibly mean? It's just that it concerns the child's lifelong happiness, so we should be careful."
Seeing this, Chen Jia glanced at Guarjia and said, "Alright, we can't rush things about the youngest son. We can discuss this later. But Yun Qing is indeed a good boy. He is well-educated and reasonable, and he is definitely worth marrying."
Guarjia: "Mother is right."
Guarjia continued, "Sister, why don't you call Yunqing over and ask her what she means?"
These words are rather insulting. In ancient times, how could a young woman express her own views on marriage? In the eyes of respectable families, this was considered an undignified act.
Whether it was because she didn't know or not, Lin Jia didn't object.
