Editor: Henyee Translations
Even Jiang Caixiu’s mother had attended, displaying a certain level of audacity.
While Jiang Caixiu was unable to rush back from the city, he had made arrangents for soone to keep him inford.
Upon identifying the county magistrate’s table, Jiang Caixiu’s mother aid to get closer.
Auntie Lianhua intercepted her. “There’s a seat over there. Sit properly. We’re here for a banquet; can’t you show so decorum? Why must you insist on sitting there when no one else has a designated seat?”
“What right do you have to stop ?” Jiang Caixiu’s mother retorted, displeased that even a hunter dared to confront her in such a manner.
“Why not? My Tian Jiu is here. The Yan family acknowledges that Tian Jiu still considers his mother. You can’t act insolent here,” Auntie Lianhua’s tone held no softness.
Jiang Caixiu’s mother refrained from provoking further. A heated argunt might tarnish the family’s reputation, especially concerning the Scholar. A Scholar’s most vital asset was their reputation.
Suppressing her displeasure, Jiang Caixiu’s mother settled down.
So found amusent in the situation and teased, “Scholar Mother, now that the county magistrate has shown respect to Yan Danqiu and ntioned the satisfaction of the capital’s adults with Third Yan’s herbs, there’s a chance they might be summoned to the capital. If that happens, Third Yan’s family will undergo a transformation. Do you regret breaking off the engagent with the Scholar?”
For them, it was re entertainnt. There was nothing to lose for these onlookers, unlike the Scholar who had suffered significant setbacks. Thus, they relished in witnessing the unfolding drama.
A lord in the capital?
The Scholar’s mother’s expression shifted noticeably.
Had it been just the county magistrate, she might not have thought much of it. She, being far-sighted, doubted the county magistrate’s ability to influence their Scholar’s future. After all, their Scholar was destined for even greater power in the future.
However…
A lord in the capital?
The prospect of establishing connections with influential figures in the capital and potentially securing an official position there was an enticing thought. The glory that could accompany such a position fueled Scholar Mother’s aspirations.
“Is that true?” Scholar Mother inquired, eager for confirmation.
“Everyone heard what I said earlier,” replied the informant.
Scholar Mother absorbed the information, contemplating that perhaps Yan Danqiu’s decision to break off the engagent might not have been wise. However, the situation could still be salvaged, as he hadn’t entered into a new engagent. There was no shortage of suitors for her son Caixiu, the only Elentary Scholar in the neighboring villages, known for his good looks and willingness to marry.
Scholar Mother’s attitude toward Yan Danqiu’s family softened. Spotting Dandong, she even summoned him with a smile, though the child promptly fled. While Scholar Mother felt a montary embarrassnt, she dismissed it, attributing it to the child’s youthful exuberance.
When Danqiu approached with so tea, Scholar Mother greeted her with a smile. “Danqiu.”
Turning around, Gu Chaoyan encountered Scholar Mother.
People like her wouldn’t attend their family’s banquet without a reason. If she hadn’t seen anyone else, it ant she was likely there because of Manager Lin.
Observing the expressions on their faces, Gu Chaoyan was unimpressed. She chose to ignore Scholar Mother and continued with her tasks.
Scholar Mother felt a twinge of embarrassnt, exacerbated by the teasing from onlookers. She reasoned that she might not have a choice but to have Caixiu return and engage in a discussion with Yan Danqiu’s family. The outco would likely be the sa.
As Caixiu entered into marriage, Scholar Mother anticipated witnessing the reactions of these individuals. Simultaneously, she prepared to make a fuss about it.
