Chapter 113
After the evening party, the naughty kids were still quite excited. If their elders hadn't sent them to wash up and rest, they would probably have continued chattering endlessly.
After Luo Chaoyan returned to her room, she asked Fengli to prepare bath water for her.
Shu Lan smiled and said, "Madam, the master said he might be back later, so you don't have to wait for him."
Luo Chaoyan nodded, she knew that Huo Jin had something to discuss with his father-in-law.
After washing up, she dried her hair, yawned, looked at the sky outside, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
When Huo Jin returned to the room, he saw her sleeping soundly. He sat down beside the bed, covered her with the quilt, and said softly, "Thank you." Thank you for bringing joy to our family, thank you for coming into my life, and thank you for finally choosing to marry me.

Su Mansion
Madam Yun handed Madam Su a note and said, "Madam, what do you think Madam Cao is planning? Why would she invite our young lady to her house for no reason? Isn't she extremely angry about our young lady?"
Madam Su snorted and said, "She is just trying to curry favor with Qian'er because she has a good relationship with Madam Huo."
Nanny Yun frowned and said, "Then Madam, why don't we reject this invitation?"
"What post?"
Minister Su walked in and asked curiously.
Nanny Yun bowed and replied, "Sir, it's a letter from Madam Cao."
Minister Su frowned and said, "Since it's a letter from Cao's mansion, how can I refuse it?"
Madam Su said calmly, "Why can't you refuse?"
Minister Su looked at her and said in a gentle tone, "Duke Cao's Mansion has the support of Prince Huai, so we can't offend them."
"Really? If they want Qian'er to marry Cao Qian, will you agree? Just to make your official position more stable?" Mrs. Su asked sarcastically.
Minister Su saw her mocking expression and got angry. He said, "Do you have to say this to me in such a sarcastic way?"
"Why, haven't you heard enough good things from your close female friends? Do you want me to flatter you more?" Mrs. Su said with a smile.
Seeing that the master finally came to the main courtyard, Madam insisted on pushing him out, Madam Yun said anxiously, "Master, you know that the young lady has been at odds with Master Cao Qian since she was a child, and Madam Cao has never been kind to the young lady. Now she suddenly wants to invite the young lady to her house, so Madam can't help but worry."
Minister Su snorted coldly and said, "Qian'er is so willful and reckless because of you."
"Of course I have to spoil my daughter. Otherwise, how can she expect others to love her?" Mrs. Su said as a matter of course.
"You!" Minister Su stood up angrily, said something nonsense and walked out.
Nanny Yun watched the master leave and sighed helplessly in her heart, "Madam, why are you doing this? The master hasn't come to the main courtyard for a long time. It's a rare occasion for him to come, but you still want to drive him out."
Madam Su smiled and said, "Madam Yun, now I just hope that Yi'er and Qian'er can have a good marriage and spend their lives with someone who understands their feelings. I don't care about anything else."
"Madam!" Nanny Yun couldn't help but feel distressed when she heard that.
"Mammy, do you know why I always spoil Qian'er?"
Nanny Yun's eyes were slightly red. She knew that the lady was someone she had watched grow up since she was a child. She was a well-behaved and polite lady that everyone praised. But she also knew that the lady was not happy and passively accepted what she called her fate. The lady hopes that the girl can live a happy and comfortable life and does not want her to be bound by too many rules.
Mrs. Su thought of her daughter's cheerfulness every day, and a smile spread across her face. She said, "Qian'er is really like a boy sometimes. I don't know which unlucky child will end up with her."
"Madam, the girl has a straightforward personality and a warm heart. Naturally, there is a good marriage waiting for her." Nanny Yun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said.
At this time, a maid came in and said, "Madam, the young master is here!"
Madam Su nodded and said, "Let him in!"
"Mother!"
Su Yi walked in, bowed to her and said, "Mother, I have something to tell you." As he spoke, he looked at the maids standing beside her.
Madam Su nodded and looked at Nanny Yun. Nanny Yun understood. She signaled several maids to leave, then followed behind, closed the door, and stood guard outside.
Madam Su smiled and said, "Tell me what's the matter."
Su Yi lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, bowed to her, and said, "Mother, I want to marry the girl of the Yin family, Yin Miaoshan!"
Madam Su raised her hand to help her son up. There was no surprise on her face, but she did not express her approval either. She said calmly, "You know that the Yin family is just a merchant in Jeju. They are not a good match for our family."
Su Yi said with a firm face: "Mother, I like her as a person. No matter what her background is, I want to spend my life with her!"
Madam Su looked at him for a long time and asked, "What if mother doesn't agree?"
"Then the boy will not marry until his mother agrees!" Su Yi said.
Madam Su laughed when she heard this and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"Mother, do you think that I am not a good match for her? Or do you think there is something wrong with her?" Su Yi said self-deprecatingly, "Mother, apart from my identity as the son of Minister Su, I don't think I am so noble or unattainable. The girl may not even agree to marry me!"
