On the third day of Qi Zhiheng's seclusion, Yuan Xue came to the Qi family again.
Yuan Xue was also tired of this place and just hoped she would never have to come here again.
When Yang Yao learned that Yuan Xue had come again, she went forward to greet her and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please come with me to the hall and take a seat."
Yang Yao could roughly guess Yuan Xue's purpose; she was most likely there to annul the engagement.
Yuan Xue didn't stand on ceremony. After sitting down in the hall, she handed Yang Yao her grandmother's letter: "This is a letter my grandmother asked me to give you before she left. Please take a look, Yao-meimei."
Yang Yao immediately had a bad feeling. When she opened the letter, she found that it mentioned her parents many times and told her to think carefully and not to lose her composure.
The implication was that if she didn't comply with Yuan Xue and the others' arrangements, her parents would suffer greatly in the Yang family. As long as they remained there, they would be constantly controlled. Although Yang Yao had already left the family, she was still grateful for her parents' upbringing, and even after so many years of no contact, their contributions could not be erased. Therefore, she had no choice but to comply with the contents of the letter.
Yang Yao's expression remained impassive, but she was inwardly furious. She thought to herself, "This old bastard actually dared to threaten me with my parents! Once I've achieved some success in my cultivation, I'll definitely not let this old bastard get away with it!"
Yuan Xue glanced at Yang Yao's expression but couldn't discern anything amiss. She then asked, "Are you alright, Yao-meimei?"
Yang Yao smiled and said, "How could I be bad? My sister-in-law is joking."
Yuan Xue smiled back at her: "I've come here today to discuss the marriage between the Yang family and the Qi family."
Yang Yao nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, please speak frankly."
Yuan Xue said, "Qianqian is still too young to get married now. I think it's best to call off her marriage to Zhiheng. Of course, our Yang family will not let your Qi family down. We will return all the previous betrothal gifts."
Yang Yao had anticipated this and was not surprised by Yuan Xue's intentions. She nodded and agreed, "Let's do it according to my sister-in-law's wishes."
Yuan Xue smiled smugly, "Sister Yao, you are truly a model young lady in the family, so understanding and sensible. Don't worry, although Qianqian and Zhiheng are destined to be apart, it may not be a bad thing. My grandmother and I have already discussed it and decided to marry my grandson Yang Yitian to Zhiheng as his legal wife. Yitian and Zhiheng are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple!"
Yang Yao felt the name Yang Yitian sounded familiar. After a moment's thought, she realized it was Yang's mentally challenged Shuang'er! Yang Yao was furious. How dare Yuan Xue say her grandson and a mentally challenged child were a match made in heaven! This Yuan Xue was truly going too far! No matter how intense her inner thoughts were, Yang Yao suppressed them, showing no sign of it on her face. Yang Yao's anger came and went quickly. After a moment's thought, she realized that Shuang'er's mental disability might not be a bad thing; at least she wouldn't be a spy for the Yang family.
Yang Yao nodded in agreement to Yuan Xue's marriage arrangement, but Yuan Xue was not satisfied: "I have already had someone match the birth dates of Yi Tian and He Zhiheng. The master has also chosen an auspicious day. The best day for the wedding is seven days from now at midnight. Let's set the wedding of Zhiheng and Yi Tian on that day."
Since she had already agreed to the marriage, Yang Yao didn't say anything more and went along with Yuan Xue's wishes: "Then let's do as my sister-in-law wishes."
Yuan Xue said, "Sister Yao is such a straightforward person. However, please don't spread this around, as it's not good for the reputation of the Yang and Qi families. Sister Yao is so sensible; she must know what to do. I was just being nosy." She then covered her mouth and laughed.
