"Alright, how could I mind if you're older? You're in the prime of your youth!"
Xiao Yang still looked like he had suffered a great loss!
Song Yan'er...
This is never going to end!
"My lord, I swear to God, I absolutely did not mean to look down on you. After all, you have such boundless energy, and it took me so long to train one of you. I don't have time to train another one! Really! My lord, look at my sincere face!"
Xiao Yang...
Was he trained for a long time?
However, Xiao Yang managed a forced smile.
Song Yan'er looked at Xiao Yang and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yang was really good in every way, except that he was too jealous!
And he'll eat any kind of vinegar!
The two of them had been dawdling for a long time, so when Yuuji saw them finally come out of the house, he was so excited that he almost cried!
"Brother, sister-in-law, you're finally up! I've already had breakfast. Auntie's breakfast was delicious, you should go and eat too!"
Yuji didn't dare complain at all! He could only try to please them!
Song Yan'er gave him a look that said, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you!"
Xiao Yang followed behind Song Yan'er and also gave Xiong Er a meaningful look!
Yuuji...
What does this mean? Am I really going to have to be this humble now?!
Thinking about it, he followed Xiao Yang into the restaurant!
While eating, Song Yan'er kept thinking about Xiong Er's matter. After a moment's thought, she finally asked:
"Are you really serious about Si Mingyue? You need to understand, this is not something to joke about; it's a lifelong commitment!"
Yuuji suddenly straightened up and looked at Song Yan'er with a serious expression:
"Brother, sister-in-law, I promise I'm serious. I like Si Mingyue. I like her gentleness, I like her stubbornness, I like everything about her. And she's the only one who listens to me without getting annoyed, and she cooks lots of delicious food for me!"
Sister-in-law, don't worry, I've never been so serious before! I will be good to her for the rest of my life!
Song Yan'er paused for a moment:
"You need to understand, for her, marrying you is a step down. Although she's just General Si's adopted daughter, General Si doesn't have any juniors; she's his only junior. Si Mingyue comes from a prestigious family; her looks, character, and manners are all outstanding."
So you need to be mentally prepared, because marriage here is all about matching social status, and most families are reluctant to marry their daughters off to such a faraway place!
Yuuji's eyes drooped slightly!
"Actually, girls in the capital do marry down!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiong Er immediately looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to continue!
Xiao Yang coughed lightly, feeling slightly guilty:
"Unless the person you're going to marry is exceptionally capable!"
Song Yan'er...
Is this adding fuel to the fire?!
Yuuji...
I don't think I'm an exceptionally capable person!
Seeing Xiong Er's dejected expression, Song Yan'er still felt a pang of pity:
"There's another way, which is for this girl to love you to death, to the point that she can't live without you!"
Yuuji...
I feel like crying, what should I do!
After all, Si Mingyue had never said she liked him. She only said that she would agree if her family agreed when he pushed her too far!
Song Yan'er noticed Xiong Er's expression and exchanged a glance with Xiao Yang:
No way! What makes me think I should propose marriage?!
However, with the old lady around, I shouldn't be kicked out!
Fortunately, General Si was not someone who valued rules and etiquette very much, and he never thought of sacrificing Si Mingyue's marriage for the future of his family!
So, they still have a glimmer of hope!
After all, Yuuji had come all the way from Dongquan City to the capital with him. As the saying goes, a marriage between people from a thousand miles away is tied by a single thread. Maybe this is Yuuji's destiny!
The two finally finished their breakfast, but it was already quite late, since they had gotten up very late!
Song Yan'er looked at the gifts that Xiong Er had prepared:
"Hmm, not bad, these are all good stuff. I didn't realize you were so generous!"
Yuuji touched his head sheepishly:
"Don't be too generous to your father-in-law, otherwise how can you marry his daughter! Besides, my dad said that it's never a bad thing to be overly polite."
Song Yan'er chuckled softly:
"That's true, though the words may be rough, the principle is sound!"
Song Yan'er then took out the century-old ginseng she had prepared, along with various other tonic herbs.
It's not that Song Yan'er is generous, but these were originally intended for General Si; she just gave them to him under a different pretext!
Anyway, with the old lady around, General Si was never short of these good things!
Yuuji was unaware of all this, so when he saw Song Yan'er take out what she had prepared, Yuuji really cried!
Although he grew up on the border, he was a connoisseur. He might not recognize other medicinal herbs, but he did recognize the century-old ginseng!
This one hundred-year-old ginseng is now priceless and unavailable!
Honestly, Xiong Er never imagined that Song Yan'er would value his marriage so much. He always thought of himself as a burden, and that he had insisted on following Song Yan'er to the capital because he was impatient!
He only agreed because of his father's influence!
Yuuji now:
"Sister-in-law, from now on you really are my sister-in-law, oh no, you're even closer than my own sister-in-law. I'll do whatever you ask me to do from now on, I'll never refuse! Sister-in-law, you're like my second parents, brother, how can my sister-in-law be so good!"
Xiao Yang rolled his eyes:
"Just remember how good your sister-in-law was to you!"
Song Yan'er...
Is this guy misunderstanding something?
However, he doesn't intend to explain anything, since this is what Yuuji has witnessed firsthand!
"Alright, let's go. Even though it's very close, we shouldn't stay too late!"
Song Yan'er wasn't used to Xiong Er's tearful expression of gratitude. Honestly, she would feel more at ease if she were to banter with him!
Xiao Yang knows Song Yan'er very well, so he is very clear about her current state of mind!
Xiao Yang also hoped that the marriage could go through. After all, he had some responsibility towards Xiong Er, so he wanted to find him a wife as soon as possible so that he wouldn't keep thinking about his wife!
After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Yuuji:
"When Yan'er and I got married, I told my father-in-law that no matter what, Yan'er would be my only woman for the rest of my life, and I would never take a concubine. So maybe it was this statement that moved him, and that's why he entrusted Yan'er to me with peace of mind!"
I feel you could give it a try if you really want to marry Si Mingyue! Of course, a gentleman's word is his bond; once you've said it, you must do it! You can't betray someone's trust! Right?
After thinking about Xiao Yang's words carefully, Xiong Er suddenly realized that this method was actually feasible!
