Previously, the old lady had indeed taken a liking to Su Yan and intended for her to be Gu Li's wife.
But now, she's starting to get anxious. Her grandson is getting on in years; in ordinary families, boys get married at eighteen, but by Gu Li's age, his children are already running around.
But Gu Li doesn't even have someone she likes, and marriage is still nowhere in sight.
Thinking of the heir of the Marquis of Wanning, a thoughtful look flashed across the old lady's eyes. It seemed that she should find some outstanding noble ladies to look at.
Even the纨绔世子 (spoiled young master) of the Wanning Marquis's family, who was used to seeing beautiful women, could be infatuated with women. There was no reason why her grandson, a man full of vigor, wouldn't be the same.
Of course, she didn't want to compare her grandson to those spoiled brats; he was different from them. However, the old lady suddenly hoped that they could be somewhat similar.
Thinking about these things, the old lady reached out and rubbed her forehead, as if she was feeling distressed.
"The general just happened to be returning today. In a couple of days, send out some invitations and say that the general's mansion is hosting a banquet."
It was ostensibly a banquet, but in reality, it was a meeting of potential partners.
"Don't let him know about this yet."
...
After returning to the General's Mansion, Gu Li had no interest in talking to her grandmother anymore and went straight back to her room.
The furnishings inside were the same as before, with no changes, yet Gu Li always felt a sense of déjà vu.
He had seen it in his dream.
These past few days, he hasn't been able to find Liuyin, as if she had never been there at all, and it was all just a dream.
Gu Li also hoped that it was just her dream, but sometimes the sudden heartache was real.
Although the ending was not happy, Gu Li could still truly feel the initial attraction and affection.
Gu Li sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes lowered as she pondered something, feeling as if she had overlooked something.
Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, interrupting Gu Li's thoughts, and she immediately heard a knock on the door.
"Cousin, it's me," Su Yan said timidly.
Hearing the voice, Gu Li frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. He remained seated and raised his voice, "What is it?"
Su Yan noticed his tone was not good, paused for a moment, then quickly regained her composure. "I made some pastries myself and wanted to bring them to you, cousin, to try."
"I don't like sweets, you can leave now," Gu Li replied, frowning.
At this moment, he was unwilling to say anything more to Su Yan. Whether it was blaming her or taking his anger out on her, Gu Li didn't understand why this cousin wanted to keep living in his house.
She was already of marriageable age, and she knew she didn't like him. With the General's mansion as her backing, she wouldn't have a bad marriage.
Su Yan was clearly embarrassed by Gu Li's blunt rejection. Her voice was so low that only she could hear it.
"cousin."
Su Yan glanced at the pastries in her hand. "Then, cousin, I'll be going now."
No one answered from inside.
After taking only a few steps, Su Yan turned around and looked at the tightly closed door, a sudden sense of worry rising in her heart.
The old lady would never allow her to marry Gu Li now; she's currently only thinking about those noble ladies who are outstanding in both appearance and family background.
Gu Li didn't like her at all and wouldn't take the initiative to propose. She thought that based on their past relationship, even without love, there could still be some affection, but he made it clear that he didn't want to see her.
It seems she needs to start planning for herself soon.
inside the house.
Gu Li carefully recalled the contents of her dream and finally realized that she had been ignoring something.
Liu Yin eventually married the heir of the Marquis of Wanning. Even he couldn't say that Liu Yin didn't have a good life after marrying the heir of the Qiao family.
Although he was far away at the border, he kept people constantly on the lookout for news from the capital, especially anything related to Liuyin.
So, what about now?
