She didn’t mind, but I reckon Wei Wushang wouldn’t agree.
There’s an old saying, a forced lon won’t be sweet.
Forget sweet; all we need is for it to quench our thirst.
If you can’t guarantee sweetness, there’s a ninety-nine percent chance it’ll be thrown away.
"Jiaojiao, what do you think?"
The Eldest Princess looked at Yuan Bao, eagerly wanting an answer.
Yuan Bao snapped back to reality, looked seriously at the Eldest Princess, and spoke earnestly: "Auntie, I think it’s all fine! As long as Uncle Wushang can wait, I’m good!"
Anyway, the likelihood of this working out is low, so she didn’t need to express disagreent here.
She passed the decision of saying ’no’ over to Wei Wushang.
"Auntie, you heard it, if it really happens that Cousin Wushang and Jiaojiao are to be wed, the wedding must wait until Jiaojiao grows up. That’s a matter of several years; are you sure Cousin Wushang can wait?"
"Also, can you wait?"
Ruan Wan continued with Yuan Bao’s topic, actively challenging.
The Eldest Princess, hearing this, looked delighted and said, "Little Wan’er, Auntie puts it clearly here; as long as Jiaojiao is willing to marry, I have no objections from my side!"
"I can even make that rascal promise not to engage in Zhou Gong’s Ceremony with Jiaojiao before she turns eighteen!"
In Daxia, though commoners usually marry after the girls co of age, in so noble families, the ti for cohabitation is postponed.
In this world, doctors long concluded that if girls give birth too early, not only are the children prone to death, even the mothers are likely to face problems.
However, ordinary families don’t take this seriously.
It’s those noble families that pay great attention to it.
After all, wives from noble families usually co from noble families themselves.
"Alright, if Auntie puts it that way, I don’t have any objections then!"
Upon hearing the Eldest Princess’s pledge, Ruan Wan simply chose to compromise. After all, since Yuan Bao didn’t refuse herself, she naturally wouldn’t oppose.
Of course, once leaving the Wei Family, Ruan Wan would still have a good talk with Yuan Bao.
"You guys..."
Mrs. Wei Shen listened throughout the process, and was totally bewildered by the final conclusion.
Yuan Bao calls her godmother, and Wei Wushang calls her sister-in-law; no matter how you reckon the seniority, it’s quite awkward.
"Eighth niece-in-law, just consider your own family, don’t overthink it!"
The Eldest Princess looked at Mrs. Wei Shen, laughing as she spoke.
With her son’s major life event settled, the Eldest Princess was beyond happy.
Prior to this, she always thought her foolish son was bound to be lonely all his life, but who would have guessed that a marriage was fatefully set from early on.
Back then, when You Cang was hurt by accident, he was saved by Yuan Bao.
Afterwards, Yuan Bao, mistreated by her own mother, ran away from ho and encountered You Cang, who brought Wei Wushang along to rescue Yuan Bao.
This marriage line seems to have been dropped from the very beginning.
...
Leaving the Wei Family, Ruan Wan was still a bit baffled.
Initially, the visit served as an escape from Yuan Family’s troubling affairs and as a chance to pay a visit and ease her mind.
Little did she expect, her mood wasn’t eased, and instead, she got Jiaojiao involved, leaving her even more upset.
"Ruan, cheer up!"
"Look, I don’t see anything bad about this!"
Yuan Bao looked at Ruan Wan smilingly.
She could sense that Ruan Wan genuinely cared for her. Yet, there were things Yuan Bao herself couldn’t explain.
With this marriage business, whether it’s like a blind cat hitting a dead rat or sothing else, Yuan Bao didn’t understand. But at least she knew, in this world, it’s very hard to find a suitable match.
Comparatively, pairing with Wei Wushang seed passable.
At least, Wei Wushang’s looks were totally her type.
People live such short lives, there’s no need to wear oneself out too much; happiness is better.
"You’re still laughing!"
Ruan Wan looked at Yuan Bao, exasperated, "You’re too hasty with this matter!"
"Ruan, I actually think Uncle Wushang is quite good!"
Yuan Bao earnestly gazed at Ruan Wan, "Besides, my current situation isn’t great, with the Fourteenth Prince eyeing , and the Twenty-Ninth Prince showing up."
"Instead of struggling to cope, might as well take advantage of this opportunity!"
Yuan Bao indeed valued Wei Wushang’s looks, but she wasn’t purely a fan of appearances.
The reason for agreeing to the Eldest Princess’s proposal ultimately ca down to the fact, this could solve troubles.
