At this point, Zhu Tao understood everything; he had been "found" by someone.
Zhu Tao suddenly remembered the "younger brother" who was dressed as a man at the last gathering, and he had a plan in mind, but he didn't know whether to agree to it.
Zhu Tao wasn't embarrassed about it, but he did have his concerns. Yun Qi was of higher status than him, so marrying his sister would be a marriage of convenience, and he only wanted to marry a beautiful and sensible woman. He was worried that he would bring home a troublesome woman.
Zhu Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "I understand what Brother Yunqi means, but Brother Yunqi is also aware of my situation. I'm afraid it will be unfair to your sister."
Seeing this, Yunqi stopped being polite to him. His sister's marriage couldn't wait any longer; who knew what trouble his mother might cause next?
Yunqi sighed and said, "Yingjie doesn't know, my family isn't badly positioned, but my younger sister isn't exactly pampered. The family doesn't lack anything for her. It's actually a family scandal. My mother is very attached to her own family and doesn't care much about my sister and me. My sister is sensible and never cried or made a fuss when she was little. I feel sorry for her and want her to marry a good man. Otherwise, it wouldn't be my place to worry about my sister's marriage."
Zhu Tao was surprised by Yun Qi's honest words, but he was still a little worried.
Yunxi noticed this and thought for a moment before saying, "Although Mother doesn't care much about my sister, she hasn't mistreated her. She has learned everything a proper young lady should learn, including poetry, etiquette, housekeeping, and needlework. She is not spoiled and has a good relationship with her sister-in-law."
Zhu Tao was somewhat tempted after hearing this.
"At the last gathering, wasn't that the younger brother from Yunqi your sister?"
Seeing that he was indeed honest, Zhu Tao stopped hiding anything and spoke directly.
Yunqi was genuinely surprised: "How did Yingjie know?"
Zhu Tao: "I saw your sister's ear piercings."
"I see, that is indeed my younger sister."
Seeing that the two had come to this point, Yunqi decided to clarify things. He trusted Zhu Tao's character and knew that even if things didn't work out today, he wouldn't spread the word.
Yunxi: "I was wondering whether to say it or not, but since Yingjie knows that she is my younger sister, I will be frank with her. Originally, my sister's marriage was not in such a hurry, but my mother is really infuriating. She wants my sister to marry her nephew, who is not a good man at all. He is a womanizer and has no morals. My sister knows my mother's plan and is just short of becoming a nun. I told my father that my mother has recently left home and wants to settle my sister's marriage."
Zhu Tao was completely dumbfounded; it was quite a show.
However, I did have some impression of Yunxi's younger sister. I felt that she was quite pitiful. Being mistreated by her own mother must have been even more painful than being mistreated by outsiders.
Thinking about it, he figured it wasn't impossible to agree, but he still needed to consult his parents about his marriage first.
"Marriage is a serious matter, not a game. I am currently alone in the capital. Please allow me to consider it and give my answer after my parents arrive. What do you think, Brother Yunqi?"
Yunqi naturally had no objection. He wanted to marry his sister off, not to steal a husband from her. Besides, this matter really needed to be decided by their parents.
Yunqi smiled and said, "Then I will return to my residence and wait for Yingjie's news."
Yunqi is very confident.
He felt confident but also a little melancholy. His younger sister, whom he had protected since childhood, was about to get married. Although he had found her husband himself and thought he was reliable, as a loving older brother, he still felt like he was marrying off his daughter.
It's quite a dilemma; I want to marry her, but I can't bear to see her get married.
Being an older brother is really tough.
After Yunxi returned to the manor, his wife came over.
Sochoro had just taken over the household management and was actually quite busy, but she still came over.
"My lord, the maid you asked me to find has been found. Should I send someone over, or should you send someone over yourself?"
She found the old woman, but she didn't have an address.
When Yunxi remembered this, he said, "I'll have someone send it over. I'll give you the address too. These two families are my colleagues, and we might have more contact in the future. Also, there's the Zhu family. He's about the same age as my sister and is unmarried."
Upon hearing this, Suochuoluo understood.
"I understand."
Yunqi smiled and said to Suochuoluo, "You've been handling all the big and small matters at home lately, thank you for your hard work."
Socholo didn't feel it was hard work. A woman would feel it because she felt that her efforts hadn't been rewarded as she should. Now, as the head of the household, she was doing what her husband respected and understood.
She didn't find it hard at all.
“I am not tired, it is you who are tired. I am just busy with some trivial matters and taking care of the backyard. This is what I should do.”
Yunqi naturally wouldn't take these things for granted. With his mother's presence, he saw his wife's concern for her husband's family and her consideration for him in everything as truly rare.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. There's a dowry for my sister stored in the manor's storeroom. Tell her to familiarize herself with it beforehand so she won't be caught off guard after she gets married. Also, since you're managing the household alone, you might be overwhelmed at first. Let your sister lend a hand so you can have an easier time and she can have more, preventing her from being lectured by her in-laws after she gets married."
Yunqi went to great lengths for her younger sister.
Suochuoluo sighed inwardly, thinking how fortunate her sister-in-law was to have such a good brother.
Lady Suochuoluo smiled and replied, "This concubine understands."
She envied her sister-in-law for having a good brother, but that was all she envied. Her sister-in-law's good brother is now her husband, and they are the ones who will share both glory and hardship for a lifetime.
