Chapter 547, Disagree
In Old Lady Yan's room, after Yang Xiujun left, Yan Siyu knelt in front of the old lady. Although her daughter was hesitant just now, she still heard the key point: the eldest sister-in-law was going to arrange a marriage for Wen Kai, and the other party was the legitimate daughter of a noble family.
How could this be possible? If this really happened, what would happen to her Xiuyun?
"mother"
Yan Siyu was about to speak when Old Lady Yan raised her hand to interrupt her. She looked at her daughter lovingly and said, "I know what you're thinking. I saw you always trying to bring Xiuyun and Wenkai together before, and I understood everything."
"Although I know your eldest brother and sister-in-law will not agree, I also think that if the two children are interested in each other, I will fight for them even if it means sacrificing my reputation."
"But it's obvious that Wenkai has nothing special about Xiuyun."
Yan Siyu quickly said, "Mom, that's because the two children don't interact much. If they were allowed to spend more time together, they wouldn't be like this."
"Mom, I know the Yang family isn't a good in-law, but I can't help it. I don't have a say in the Yang family. If I don't marry Xiuyun to Wenkai, I'm really afraid my mother-in-law will randomly choose a family to marry Xiuyun off."
Old Madam Yan snorted coldly, "That's impossible. If the Yang family dares to act recklessly, I'll have your three brothers come knocking on our door. Now that our family is no longer afraid of them, you better stand up straight."
After saying this, he was silent for a while.
"As for marrying Xiuyun to Wenkai, don't mention it again. If she hadn't found someone she liked before, there might have been a chance, but now that she's in a relationship, it's impossible."
Yan Siyu was anxious: "Mother, please give Xiuyun a chance. This time, don't let Xiuyun go back to the capital with me. Let her stay in the mansion and spend more time with Wenkai."
Old Lady Yan interrupted Yan Siyu directly: "What are you talking about? Xiujun has a father and a mother, so how can she live in our house?"
Seeing her daughter in tears, Old Lady Yan couldn't bear it and said earnestly, "Child, listen to your mother's advice. Don't think about Wen Kai anymore. You will have to rely on the eldest brother and his wife for support in the future. If you offend them, it will not be good for you or the two children."
Yan Siyu pulled the old lady and said, "Mom, is there really no possibility at all?"
Old Mrs. Yan: "As a mother, it's understandable that you want to find a good marriage for your daughter, but doesn't your sister-in-law think the same way?" When there is a better choice, who would choose the worse one?
Old Lady Yan wiped the tears from her daughter's face and said, "Okay, I think Xiujun is not feeling well. You should go back and check on her."
Looking at her mother's determined eyes, Yan Siyu knew that her daughter's marriage was hopeless. She wiped away her tears and left with the help of her maid.
After everyone left, Old Lady Yan sighed tiredly, "My children are all debts."
The next morning, Daohua came to have dinner with Old Lady Yan. As soon as she entered the house, she found that the old lady looked listless and her eyes were pale.
Old Mrs. Yan glanced at the rice flowers and ignored her.
Feeling coldly treated, Daohua touched her nose and moved closer shamelessly. She didn't care even though the old lady glared at her a few times, and she still happily picked up things for her.
The others looked at this scene and their expressions changed.
"I told you, cousin Xiujun has been wronged, and grandma will definitely be unhappy. Look, even the eldest sister doesn't look at her in a good mood." Yan Yile said in a low voice.
Yan Yihan gave her a warning glare.
Yan Yile curled her lips and continued eating.
Yang Xiujun on the side was secretly delighted. Her grandmother still loved her, otherwise she would not have been so unkind to her cousin Yi Yi. This was the first time she had seen this.
After breakfast, Old Mrs. Yan signaled her granddaughters that they could leave.
Daohua stayed and didn't leave. The old lady glanced at her and went to the yard to trim the flowers and plants.
Daohua followed without saying a word.
Looking at her granddaughter who had followed her, Old Lady Yan said unhappily, "Stay away from me and don't get in the way of me doing my work."
Daohua: "No, I just want to stay close to my grandma." After saying that, she leaned closer to the old lady.
Seeing her sticking to her like a sticky candy, Old Lady Yan laughed angrily and tapped Daohua's forehead: "You're just relying on the fact that I won't punish you, right?"
Daohua took the old lady's arm and winked playfully: "I'm so cute, grandma can't bear to punish me."
Hearing this, the old lady could no longer hold back her laughter.
Seeing that the old lady was happy, Daohua's smile became even brighter.
She knew that her grandmother was not angry, but she was just a little upset and couldn't help but frown. If she took it seriously, she would be really stupid.
Old Lady Yan was embroidering flowers and plants while she asked, "What's going on with your cousin Xiujun?"
She didn't believe everything Xiuyun said yesterday.
Daohua said casually, "Nothing much. It's just that when the Fang family was welcoming the bride, she wanted to fall into Fourth Brother's arms in front of everyone, but I interrupted her."
Old Mrs. Yan didn't expect her granddaughter to do such a thing. She cut off a peony without paying attention.
Daohua glanced at the old lady's face and said, "Grandma, I've read in medical books that when cousins marry, the children they give birth to are very likely to have problems."
Old Lady Yan glared at her and said, "I never thought of letting Xiujun marry Wenkai."
Hearing this, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Didn't Father send Cousin Hongrui to study at the academy some time ago? But Cousin Xiuyun came to me and asked me to plead with Father. I refused, and then she avoided me intentionally or unintentionally whenever she saw me."
She didn't want to complain, she just wanted to let her grandmother know that she and Yang Xiujun had different personalities.
"Grandma, I really tried my best to get along with Cousin Xiuyun, but unfortunately, our personalities just don't mesh. Please don't let me take care of her anymore in the future."
Old Madam Yan sighed. She had noticed that her granddaughter's temper wasn't exactly good, and she didn't want to embarrass her. However, she said, "They are relatives after all. They'll be returning to the capital soon, so don't make things too awkward."
Daohua smiled: "Of course, even if cousin Xiuyun made such a fuss, I only talked to her privately, and mother didn't ask about it. Originally, if this matter was not brought home, the family would not know about it, but she chose to act pitiful and weak."
During lunch, everyone saw Daohua and Old Lady Yan talking and laughing again, and they all gave each other an "as expected" look.
Yan Siyu and her daughter looked a little dim.
There is still a difference between a biological granddaughter and a granddaughter-in-law.
After lunch, Daohua helped Old Lady Yan to take a nap. Seeing the fatigue between the old lady's brows, she turned and went to the main courtyard.
Madam Li was sorting out the betrothal gifts for the Han family. Daohua picked up the gift list and took a look. She suddenly said, "Mother, let's cut the gift we prepared for Auntie to take back to the Yang family in half."
She really couldn't say that she had any feelings for her aunt. She treated her with respect and courtesy in every way, but it was only because her grandmother loved her daughter so much.
I thought that being nice to her would make my grandmother happy, but she still made trouble for her even though she knew it would make her feel embarrassed, which really made her unhappy.
Mrs. Li was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That's fine, some people are not worthy of being treated too well." She had wanted to prepare more gifts for her sister-in-law to take back, so that she could be proud in front of the Yang family, but Xiujun's incident really made her feel annoyed.
