Meanwhile, at the Yang residence, Yang Yiqian nestled in Yuan Xue's arms, crying incessantly: "I won't marry him! I don't want to marry that fat pig!"
Yuan Xue still held high hopes for Yang Yiqian, but seeing her granddaughter crying so miserably, she had no choice but to think of a way out. Qi Zhiheng is now so obese that he'd probably have difficulty even having sex, let alone fathering a child.
Yang Yiqian said, "Grandma, that Young Master Ji is a really good person. He has an extraordinary demeanor, high cultivation, and a more noble family background than our Yang family! Why don't you want me to marry him?"
Yang Yiqian had already secretly fallen in love with a young master from a powerful family in the capital, named Ji Qiuhan. The two met by chance and fell in love at first sight.
They met several more times by chance, and feelings had already begun to develop between them.
However, Yang Yiqian was secretly distressed by the thought of her marriage and dared not let this elegant and composed young nobleman know that she was still a woman engaged. In the eyes of the world, this was undoubtedly a shameless act, and Yang Yiqian was afraid that her impression of Ji Qiuhan would be tarnished, so she dared not reveal it in the slightest.
She really couldn't understand why, when Yang Yao married into the countryside, the Yang family was extremely unwilling, but now that it was her turn, they were practically begging for her hand in marriage. With her family background, she should have married a handsome young man like Master Ji. How could a fat country bumpkin be worthy of her noble status?
Yuan Xue knew, of course, that Ji Qiuhan came from a good family, but it was precisely because her family was so well-connected that if her granddaughter married into the family, it would be impossible for her to get her child back!
Seeing Yuan Xue's hesitant expression, Yang Yiqian added fuel to the fire, saying, "If I could marry into the capital, perhaps Father's business could also expand there. With the Ji family's support, the Yang family would surely prosper. Moreover, the Ji family is a large clan, and the dowry they can offer is certainly not ordinary. Young Master Ji said that if I am willing to marry him, he is willing to give a Spirit Saint Pill as a dowry!"
Yuan Xue frowned slightly when she heard about Yang Yiqian and Ji Qiuhan's close relationship! But upon hearing about the Spirit Saint Pill, she forgot all her other concerns and hurriedly asked, "Is this true? Is Young Master Ji really willing to give a Spirit Saint Pill as a betrothal gift?"
Yang Yiqian nodded and said, "How could I dare to talk nonsense about this? Besides, the Spirit Saint Pill is only scarce in small places like ours. It's not completely impossible to get it in the capital. Once Qianqian marries into the capital, I will definitely find a way to get a few more for the Yang family."
Yuan Xue's hesitation vanished, and she said, "We still need to discuss the matter of annulling the engagement with my grandmother. I'll go and mention it to her first."
Just as Yuan Xue was about to leave, Yang Yiqian grabbed her and said, "The engagement can't be called off! Grandma! It can't be called off!"
Yuan Xue asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you didn't want to marry into the Qi family? Why are you unwilling to break off the engagement?"
Yang Yiqian didn't want to say it, but now she had no choice but to tell the truth: "Young Master Ji didn't know that I was already engaged, which is why he wanted to marry me. However, there are still people in Qianshi City who know that I was originally engaged. If we make a big fuss about breaking off the engagement and Young Master Ji finds out, then our Yang family will be guilty of marriage fraud."
Yuan Xue's expression was also grave: "Then what should we do this time?"
Yuan Xue pondered for a moment and said, "I do have a good idea, but I need to report this to your grandfather first. Wait for me here, I'll be right back."
Yuan Xue left in a hurry after saying those words.
