He Yunxiao understood what Jiang Wuyou was saying. But the key issue wasn't whether he understood it or not, but how to implement it.
It's easy to just propose marriage, but how do you propose marriage in a way that is both grand and low-key?
He Yunxiao looked at Jiang Wuyou, who chuckled and said, "Husband, don't look at me. I don't know what to do either."
He Yunxiao was shocked, "My wife doesn't know either?"
"have no idea."
You don't know and you still say that...
He Yunxiao held back from making a sound of complaint.
Jiang Wuyou naturally understood He Yunxiao's meaning, and she comforted him, saying, "Husband, I have never even met Mr. Fan, so how can I tell you what to do? Don't you know her best? So you have to figure this out yourself."
“My lord, ‘solemn’ and ‘low-key’ are not antonyms here. They are not contradictory, but complementary. Solemn means ‘meaningful’ and ‘sincere,’ while low-key means minimizing the impact of this matter. It’s best not to let the other ladies hear about it.”
He Yunxiao clearly didn't understand.
Jiang Wuyou had no choice but to continue to patiently persuade him.
"The marriage proposal isn't just a matter between you and Mr. Fan; it also involves Father and Uncle Fan, the He family and the Fan family. Think about what they have in common, and see where you can start."
He Yunxiao frowned.
"What do Dad and Uncle Fan have in common?"
After thinking for a long time, the only thing He Yunxiao could think of was that both of them had led troops into battle and were both generals. Apart from that, He Yuanhao and Fan Changshu had nothing in common, whether in terms of personality or hobbies.
"Common ground? They're both generals, does that count?"
"Calculate."
"But... what does leading troops into battle have to do with proposing marriage?"
Jiang Wuyou whispered in He Yunxiao's ear, "Once, when I was bringing Father a midnight snack, I overheard him discussing with other generals about launching a night raid on the Yan army camp."
A night raid on the Yan army camp?
He Yunxiao suddenly remembered what he had seen before entering the city: those heavy siege weapons that he couldn't carry away or drag.
A night raid on the Yan army's stronghold burned away all their efforts and hopes of breaching the gates of Yinjing City...
The Yan army would assume that the Qi army was only defending the city and would not come out of the city. A night attack would catch the Yan army off guard! Moreover, at night, the cavalry's advantage is not as great as during the day.
Indeed, a night raid on the Yan army camp was a brilliant plan.
He Yunxiao thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something and asked Sister Jiang, "Youbao, among those generals discussing war in our study, is Dean Fan among them?"
Jiang Wuyou smiled and nodded.
He Yunxiao asked in surprise, "Mengbao persuaded him? She got him back to be a general?"
Jiang Wuyou said, "That night, I went to deliver midnight snacks and tea to the generals and saw that the room was full of armor, but Uncle Fan wasn't wearing any. I don't know if he's gone back to his old ways. Why don't you just ask your Mengbao? Why are you guessing here?"
At this point, He Yunxiao finally understood the unspoken meaning behind Sister Jiang's words.
Of all the female leads in Yin Jingcheng, Mengbao has the best information network. However, the military is Mengbao's weakness. If they could arrange an engagement when the troops are about to go to war, it would be a meaningful and discreet move.
Women are few in number! This is indeed a brilliant plan!
He Yunxiao's gaze towards Jiang Wuyou changed.
Good heavens! Sister Jiang was just saying "I don't know" a moment ago, but now she's quietly and subtly offering a brilliant plan. She's practically saying, "Go and ask your father to propose to Lord Fan in front of all the soldiers during the march."
Jiang Wuyou's ability to resolve the chaotic situation stirred He Yunxiao's thoughts.
In the past, he would rack his brains alone to figure out how to resolve the chaotic situation, but now, with Sister Jiang's guidance, the situation has suddenly become clear.
He Yunxiao deeply understands a principle: all things in the universe are interconnected and mutually restraining.
We need to use the female lead to deal with the female lead!
Even the strong and sickly Xiao Xiao is meek and submissive in front of Chu Chu. And the aloof Chu Chu is helpless against the simple and kind-hearted Nan Zhu. The usually observant Ruo Bao, however, never saw through Yin Yun's acting skills…
Got it!
He Yunxiao had a sudden realization!
He realized his previous approach was flawed. To avoid a love triangle, he prevented the female leads from interacting, but the more he prevented them, the more inevitable the love triangle became. It would be better to first select a group of girls with compatible temperaments and let them have low-intensity interactions first.
Just like Chu Chu and Nan Zhu, although they might have some disagreements at first, they will eventually get used to each other's presence. Once they adapt to each other and even develop feelings for one another, the chaotic situation will have a "soft landing" and gradually dissipate through their interactions!
He Yunxiao's eyes gleamed as he stared at Jiang Wuyou as if she were a treasure.
Sister Jiang is the only female lead who doesn't care about rank and is completely devoted to her own character. Moreover, she's gentle, has high emotional intelligence, and can perfectly act as a buffer between the various female leads!
Besides, there's also Nan Zhu's wife. Nan Zhu has a good relationship with both Meng Bao and Chu Chu, so using Nan Zhu as a middleman to let Chu Chu and Meng Bao get to know each other is a viable option!
There's also the matter of separating Xiaoxiao and Chuchu to be put on the agenda. Knowing Xiaoxiao's personality, she surely won't be hiding things from me anymore, right?
Trusting Sister Jiang, He Yunxiao told her his thoughts without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyou was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "Husband, if you had focused on your studies a few years ago, you would have already been appointed a king and prime minister by now."
"Does my wife think this plan is feasible?"
“That’s feasible,” Jiang Wuyou said softly, leaning against He Yunxiao’s chest. “My husband still doesn’t understand women’s hearts. If those girls really liked you as much as you say, they wouldn’t be willing to break up with you. If a woman truly has you in her heart, even if you make her angry, as long as you put in the effort to coax her and say sweet words to her, she will deceive herself.”
