Facing Luo Yihui, Chen said softly, "Your grandmother left in a hurry, and she didn't manage everything in the house. Yining is still young, so it's a good thing you came back in time. Why don't you have dinner here first and then go back..."
Luo Yihui looked at Luo Yiyu who was sitting next to Chen. When they were on the road, she had asked Xuezhi about what had happened in the past few months.
"Mother is really busy with things and can't get away. I can only thank you for your kindness." Luo Yihui just smiled. "I heard from Meimei that Yujie'er is engaged to the son of the Liu Mansion's deputy governor?"
If others asked, Chen Shi would not think it was a big deal. When Luo Yihui asked, Chen Shi would always think of her status as the wife of the Duke of Dingbei. One of them was the wife of the Duke of Dingbei, and upon marriage, she was granted a title of the second rank. But the one Yi Yu was going to marry didn't even hold an official position, let alone the title of a wife. Both were legitimate daughters of the Luo family...
"It was the marriage arranged by the old lady before she died." Chen also smiled and said, "He is not bad. He passed the provincial examination this year along with Huaiyuan and Shenyuan. There will be another imperial examination next year."
Yining had never heard anyone else talk about this before. It turned out that Luo Yiyu's future husband also passed the imperial examination.
However, at that time Luo Shenyuan had just won the title of Jieyuan, and probably no one paid attention to him.
"Talking about engagements is such a headache." Luo Yihui smiled gently. "Take Duke Yingguo's grandson Cheng Lang, for example. His temper is a real headache for his two uncles. Not long ago, I don't know how he offended the granddaughter of Lord Dou, and she insisted on marrying him. This forced Lord Dou to go to his uncle, Governor Lu, to plead for him. But he still refuses, and I don't know what kind of woman he'll find."
After hearing what Luo Yihui said, Luo Yiyu's face turned pale.
She suddenly asked, "Dou Gelao's legitimate daughter...wants to marry Second Master Cheng?"
Luo Yihui looked at Luo Yiyu, smiled slightly and said, "He has an illustrious family background. He has Governor Lu as his biological uncle and the Duke of Ying as his adopted uncle. He is also handsome and extremely intelligent. Not to mention being the granddaughter of Lord Dou, who among the daughters of noble families waiting to be married in the capital would not want to marry him?"
Yining listened to her elder sister's words and couldn't tell what she felt.
Those who were once so close to her are now only heard through other people's words and are far away.
The Dingbei Marquisate, into which my eldest sister married, and the Ningyuan Marquisate were family acquaintances. The Yingguo Duke's House, like the Ningyuan Marquis', was a prominent family among the elite. The Yingguo Duke's son had fought alongside Lu Jiaxue on numerous occasions, facing life and death on the battlefield. He was currently serving as the Commander-in-Chief of Xuanfu, and held a close friendship with Lu Jiaxue. Therefore, it wasn't surprising that my eldest sister had ties to the Yingguo Duke's House.
The eldest sister said these words to Luo Yiyu.
Luo Yiyu's face looked extremely unhappy, she felt lost and dazed.
She also glanced at Yining. Luo Yihui must have known about Cheng Lang. It must have been Yining who said it.
However, Yining didn't care about Luo Yiyu's feelings at all. What's the point of caring about the feelings of someone like Luo Yiyu?
She stood beside Luo Yihui with a calm expression, not even looking at Luo Yiyu.
After Luo Yihui finished speaking, she stood up with Yining and said goodbye to Chen.
After they left, Chen closed the lid of her teacup and said to her daughter, "Don't let your fantasies slip away. Have you forgotten your past lessons? I think the marriage your grandmother chose for you is indeed a good one. Liu Jing is an ambitious young man. Even though you have to observe three years of mourning, they sent a letter specifically through Madam Gao saying they're waiting for you. Such a friendship is truly rare."
Luo Yiyu nodded and said softly, "I know everything, I just can't accept it. I like him so much..."
"There are so many people who like him." Chen sneered, "Does he like you?"
Luo Yiyu stopped talking, but Chen stroked her sleeves and said slowly, "Your eldest sister's return this time is not simple. The matter of Second Master Cheng is a small matter. The real thing is to see what she is going to do."
The maid helped Chen stand up, and Chen looked at her two daughters. Luo Yiyu was arrogant and overconfident, with high expectations but poor skills. Luo Yixiu's personality was reminiscent of someone else's—rash and confused. Gu Minglan was indeed a formidable figure, having left behind a legitimate daughter like Luo Yihui.
Chen closed her eyes, afraid that she would have to do that thing in advance.
Yi Ning followed Luo Yi Hui back to the main room, where Lin Hairu had already ordered the meal. A maid immediately went to pass on the message, and soon Aunt Qiao and her two children arrived to pay their respects.
Aunt Qiao didn't want to come either, but if she really didn't come, with Luo Yihui's temper, who knows how much trouble she would find for her. But the Second Master obeyed his eldest daughter's orders, and after hearing the mother-in-law's message, she immediately asked the maid to wash and dress her.
Luo Yihui held Yining in her arms and fed her longan and white fungus porridge stewed with rock sugar.
Even her grandmother had never fed her like this before, and Luo Yihui still treated her like a child of a few years old.
Yi Ning drank the soup her sister handed her, and then another spoonful came. Seeing her sister drink what she fed her, Luo Yihui felt very comfortable. She had fed her like this when she was a child, and it was no different from raising her by herself.
After she finished drinking, the maid next to her handed her a handkerchief. Luo Yihui wiped Yining's mouth and asked her softly if she wanted to drink more.
Yining was already feeling a little full, and she burped and said, "Sister, I really can't drink anymore..." Yining was a little worried. She had been fed a lot of food by Lin Hairu in the past two days, and then continued to be fed by Luo Yihui. She felt that she would get fatter and fatter.
Seeing that her rosy face was really cute, Luo Yihui pinched her sister's chubby face before putting her on the seat next to her.
At this time, the maid lifted the curtain, and Aunt Qiao came in with Luo Yilian and Xuan Ge'er.
"Greetings to the young lady." Aunt Qiao was dressed simply, her long black hair tied in a bun, and her profile was as delicate as morning dew. After she bowed, Luo Yilian and Xuan Ge'er also bowed to Luo Yihui.
