"It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I’m certain." ng Yao had a smug look. "Big sister, you don’t know this, but this kid Xiaoshu has an amazing mory, almost photographic. Whatever you teach him, he learns instantly."

Which made ng Zhu envy deeply, "Why does my son have no talent for studying?"

"Chang’an isn’t good at studying, right? But otherwise, big sister, can you find any faults? He’s good-looking, filial, and crucially, good at business." ng Yao quickly praised Li Chang’an.

It’s not really praise; indeed, this kid does have these virtues.

What mother doesn’t enjoy hearing others praise their child?

ng Zhu smiled broadly, "Only you, as his aunt, can see him this well. I’m about to burst with anger every day."

"How could Chang’an get you so upset~" ng Yao looked utterly unconvinced.

"Chang’an is even a year older than Dajiang; he’ll be nineteen after the New Year! People who grew up with him are already fathers, yet his marriage prospects are still nowhere to be seen!" ng Zhu sighed deeply, clearly genuinely worried, not just putting on a show.

Nineteen, for ng Yao before she traveled back, would have been a university student living a carefree romantic life.

But back in ancient tis, he’s considered an overaged young man.

No wonder ng Zhu was anxious.

"Well, marriage isn’t sothing that can be hurried." ng Yao didn’t know how to comfort ng Zhu.

"Nowadays, the eligible girls in all of Anyang Town are avoiding our family, and I’m..." ng Zhu sighed. "Why wasn’t Dahe born a girl? If he were a girl, I wouldn’t have to worry. And Xiaohua, if she were twins with Dahe, that would be fine, too."

Cousins in ancient tis were considered a perfect match.

It was the ’relative marrying relative’ that ancient parents loved.

ng Yao thanked her stars that the gender was wrong and the age gap was large.

"Even though we’ve gone to temples to pray and consulted experts, his fortune was good. It’s not a bad marital fate, but why is it that every ti a marriage is proposed, strange incidents occur with the girl?" In front of her younger sister, ng Zhu’s eyes turned red.

Previously, the original person knew a bit about Li Chang’an’s affairs.

It was indeed quite mysterious; several marriage engagents broke off.

The reasons were the sa. After getting engaged to him, the girls started having unfortunate events, although harmless, not life-threatening. But consistently annoying.

This is precisely why Li Chang’an’s marriage prospects didn’t materialize.

Initially, people didn’t believe in superstitions, but later, they had to admit that engagent with Li Chang’an seed to bring bad luck.

"However, the expert who told Chang’an’s fortune said that once Chang’an ets a benefactor, he’ll escape his current predicant. I just want to know when his benefactor will show up." ng Zhu said sighing.

"It’ll be very soon for sure." ng Yao comforted her.

"Ah!" Zhao Xiaohua’s angry voice sounded, soon rushing over to ng Yao and ng Zhu, "Mom, Aunt, cousin is teasing again."

Li Chang’an followed, his handso and gentle face carrying a faint smile, "Mom, Aunt."

Then, he ruffled Zhao Xiaohua’s hair gently, "Weren’t you asking to play with you? How co you’re tattling now?"

"I was already very fast, but couldn’t be faster than Brother Chang’an, so you must have cheated." Zhao Xiaohua said defiantly.

"That just ans Xiaohua needs more practice. After all, I practiced for a long ti for quick hand speed back then." Li Chang’an said good-naturedly.

The nineteen-year-old had striking features and a gentle temperant, always speaking tenderly and kindly to his little sister.

Such a person has beco a tricky problem.

Indeed quite a headache.

ng Yao asked what they were playing, and Zhao Xiaohua cheerfully told ng Yao it was nothing hard; just Three Immortals Return to Cave, requiring quick hand speed.

ng Yao puzzled; why was Li Chang’an practicing this out of the blue?

ng Yao began observing Li Chang’an discreetly.

ng Yao had studied psychology, primarily to communicate more effectively with patients. After all, solid psychological knowledge would ease patients into open conversation.

Beneath his calm appearance, Li Chang’an concealed other things.

"After the New Year, let your cousin stay at our place a few days, then Xiaohua, you follow your cousin to learn properly. You’re so smart; Mom believes you can surpass him." ng Yao said with a smile.

Zhao Xiaohua exclaid with excitent, "Aunt, will that be alright?"

"Why not? In January, the shop doesn’t have many custors, and your uncle can manage alone. After the New Year, I’ll bring your cousin and sister over for a few days." ng Zhu hugged Zhao Xiaohua.

"That’s settled then." ng Yao said joyfully, "I’ll prepare more food these days, and then I’ll cook sothing delicious for big sister every day."

"With your cooking!" ng Zhu clicked her tongue, "Better let cook."

Not knowing when, Zhao Dahe ca over smiling, "Aunt, you’ll change your tune after tasting my mom’s cooking. It fits her perfectly to say, ’After three days apart, treat each other with new respect’."

ng Zhu looked skeptical, "Dahe, you’re not tricking , right?"

Zhao Dahe teased, "You’ll know after Aunt tries it."

"Alright, then I’ll wait to taste it." ng Zhu replied.

Li Chang’an was very perceptive; he always felt his aunt had beco different, filled with profound aning in her gaze.

Li Chang’an even felt his mom’s upcoming visit to his aunt’s house might bring unexpected changes.

Would those changes be good or bad?

Thinking of his situation, Li Chang’an sighed inwardly; how much worse could it get?

ng Zhu had more to say to ng Yao, looked at her eldest son, and put her hand on her heart, "Don’t stand in front of , go play with your siblings, and rember to let them win, okay?"

Sending him away, ng Zhu started discussing the main purpose of today’s visit.

"Though they’re unreliable and an-spirited, your personal issues seem worth considering. It’s been four years; you should move on. You’re only thirty-three; you have at least thirty more years to live. Do you really plan to remain alone? Right now, the kids are lively around you, but once they have their own families, will they have ti for you?" ng Zhu said earnestly, "Should I ask your brother-in-law to find you soone suitable?"

She had often urged the original person with similar topics, always being refused.

ng Zhu hadn’t ntioned it for quite so ti, bringing it up again likely due to the ng Family’s antics.

"It’s not that I haven’t moved on, just that there’s nothing suitable. Besides, Dahe will be taking the exam after the New Year, where would I get the extra ti? And afterward, there’ll be nurous expenses—you know, which man would accept such a burden? Studying costs money, marrying costs money. If they were all daughters, it would be just one dowry!" ng Yao responded smoothly.

"If Dahe and Xiaoshu are successful, sponsoring them would be a great bargain." ng Zhu said.
