"Take a look at Commander Wei's letter." He didn't beat around the bush and handed the letter directly to Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu took the letter, read its contents, and gave Xie Yun a cold look. "Lord Xie, is this all you want to do to arrange a marriage?"
At this moment, Sun Yun had already ordered tea to be served. The three of them took their seats. After listening to Zhao Shu's words, Sun Yun took the letter from her hand and read it. After reading it, he smiled unkindly, "Lord Xie, the person is not even married yet, and you want to become their in-law. Isn't that inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it? Commander Wei is not young anymore, and the princess has come of age. Marriage is only a matter of time. Besides, isn't it better to marry into the Xie family than to marry into some other random family? Moreover, I can promise that whoever marries Commander Wei and the princess's daughter will be the future head of the Xie family. If a Xie family girl marries into the Wei family, there's no need to worry about the dowry. Only I can offer such sincerity. How is it inappropriate to form a bond between two families?"
Sun Yun laughed, "I've only ever heard of betrothal since birth, never of someone starting to have designs on another person's child before the marriage is even finalized."
Xie Yun also felt that he had gone a bit too far, but there was no turning back once the arrow was released. The benefit he initially asked Wei Tingsi for was to form a marriage alliance. He wanted the Xie family to be related to Wei Tingsi's descendants so that after his death, the Xie family would have someone to help them and prevent them from falling into ruin. He no longer expected his son to bring glory to the family.
Actually, from the perspective of the head of the family, it's understandable. He has worried about the family all his life, and he is still worried even in his old age.
“Princess?” Zhao Shu hadn’t spoken, so he got a little anxious and took out a jade pendant and stuffed it into Zhao Shu’s hand. “You’re shy and embarrassed to say it, so I won’t force you. Here, this is a token. I won’t say anything more. I guarantee that the Xie family’s son is absolutely worthy of your children.”
After saying that, as if afraid that Zhao Shu would regret it, he quickly ran away. The unkind Sun Yun watched his back and laughed so hard he almost fell over.
"Ah Jun, you're not even married yet, and Lord Xie already wants to become in-laws with you. It seems you'd better step up your game."
Zhao Shu rolled her eyes at her, put the jade pendant away. Putting everything else aside, she wouldn't refuse Xie Yun's promise. Xie Yun was different from people like Yang Zhong. He was a kind old man with good character, insightful, and worth befriending.
Besides, having accepted the jade pendant doesn't necessarily mean marriage. Why not have a good backup option?
"Let's move on from the white camellia; let's leave this topic at that." Zhao Shu took a sip of tea and didn't continue the topic of marriage.
