Chapter 1350: Chapter 1123, Princess Chun’an Misled by Storybooks 4_3
Regarding her son’s enlightennt, she was both happy and surprised.
Happy about the fact that her son was emotionally moved, and that the family might soon add new mbers; surprised because her son seed to have fallen deeply for soone!
Their family was decent, but what if the Dong Family didn’t agree?
Wouldn’t her son be hurt then?
Before his enlightennt, he would avoid girls; now that he’s enlightened, he’s imdiately captivated, Madam Yuan really wasn’t sure if this was good or bad.
That night, Madam Yuan discussed her son’s matter with General Yuan.
General Yuan was silent for a mont: “The Dong Family is a good match. I have so free ti in a couple of days, so let’s pay them a visit and test out the situation.”
Their son finally liked a girl, and the girl was also one they approved of, so as parents, they naturally wanted to support their son wholeheartedly.
…
“Why is the Yuan Family here again?”
Dong Jingyi looked with surprise at the maid who had co to report.
Maid: “This ti, not only Madam Yuan ca, but General Yuan ca too.”
Dong Jingyi glanced at Xiao Keyan and speculated: “It should be about the horse racing event.”
Dong Yuanxuan, as the magistrate of Ganzhou, naturally oversaw the horse racing event, while the participants were mainly soldiers, so General Yuan inquiring about the horse racing event at this ti was perfectly reasonable.
“But what do they want from ?”
Xiao Keyan: “You’ll find out once you go.”
Dong Jingyi nodded: “Alright, I’ll be back shortly.”
Watching Dong Jingyi leave, Xiao Keyan thought for a mont and summoned a maid: “Follow her and see what’s going on. If you hear anything, co back and tell .”
The maid bowed and hurriedly followed, and after about the ti it takes to drink two cups of tea, the maid returned: “Princess, I’ve found out.”
Xiao Keyan quickly asked: “Tell , why is the Yuan Family here?”
Maid: “Princess, the Yuan Family is here for a marriage proposal.”
“What?!” Xiao Keyan was full of shock and surprise: “Who is proposing to whom?”
Maid: “The eldest son of the Yuan Family proposed to Miss Dong.”
Xiao Keyan frowned: “Wasn’t it said that he liked the most beautiful woman in Xiliang?” Then her expression darkened, truly a fickle scoundrel!
Never mind that Miss Ren, this guy even flirted with her at the racetrack, and now he turns around to propose to Jingyi; this person’s character is really too poor.
Yet Uncle Dong and the others praised him as having the style of her father when he was young.
Just then, Dong Jingyi returned with a flushed face.
Xiao Keyan quickly approached her: “Why did the Yuan Family suddenly propose?”
Dong Jingyi corrected: “It wasn’t a proposal; today, General Yuan and Madam Yuan just ca to test the waters, not quite a proposal.”
“The Yuan Family suddenly visited; Grandmother and the others were just as surprised as I was.” Then, looking at Xiao Keyan, “You and I witnessed the eldest son of the Yuan Family and Young Master of the Cao Family fight over Miss Ren, it couldn’t have been fake, so why did they suddenly co to propose to ?”
“There must be a reason!” Xiao Keyan thought for a mont and summoned a maid: “Go and find out if anything has happened between the Ren and Cao families in recent days.”
The maids accepted their orders and left, not returning until late afternoon.
Xiao Keyan and Dong Jingyi looked at them: “Tell us, did you find out anything?”
Maid: “Nothing has happened between the Ren and Cao families lately, but Madam Ren and Madam Cao often go out together, and people have seen Miss Ren and Young Master Cao always together.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyan’s face showed an expression of “I knew it,” then she looked at Dong Jingyi with full sympathy: “Based on my years of experience reading books, Jingyi, you definitely have been made the backup female character by the eldest son of the Yuan Family.”
Dong Jingyi exclaid, full of bewildernt.
Xiao Keyan: “Let explain it to you in detail.”
“Suppose Miss Ren is the main character, then the eldest son of the Yuan Family is the overbearing and wealthy supporting male character. To him, Miss Ren is the gentle white moonlight that’s unattainable in his heart, and you… are the woman he’s supposed to marry as required by his family, matching in social class.”
“Earlier, when they said the Ren Family would marry into the Yuan Family, I felt it was a bit off. Think about it, the Yuan Family is the highest military official in Xiliang, and the Ren Family is the highest civil official. Such a union is certainly not what the Emperor would wish to see.”
“If the heads of the Yuan and Ren families have any sense, they wouldn’t agree to this.”
“anwhile, your family’s Uncle Dong’s abilities are well recognized, and combined with our family’s relationship, you would be a fantastic match.”
“The eldest son of the Yuan Family, being able to command the Xiliang Cavalry, is clearly not a fool; he should be aware of his own situation. So, upon learning that Miss Ren and Young Master Cao are always together, he got so infuriated that he lost his rationality, was pressured by his family, and then ca today’s proposal.”
“There’s also the possibility that the eldest son of the Yuan Family doesn’t even know that General Yuan and Madam Yuan visited the Dong Family to propose.”
“Regardless of which possibility, as the backup female character, you won’t have a good outco.”
“Do you think what I said makes sense?”
Dong Jingyi vigorously nodded: “Keyan, you are so right, now that I think about it, things may really be as you described.” Saying that, she stamped her foot.
“The Yuan Family is really too much; I definitely do not want to be that backup female character, thank goodness Grandmother and the others certainly won’t agree to the Yuan Family.”
Xiao Keyan was now surprised: “Why wouldn’t they agree? I see Uncle Dong and Brother Dong both hold the eldest son of the Yuan Family in high regard, to be honest, the Yuan Family’s social standing is quite excellent.”
Suddenly, Dong Jingyi beca shy, turning her body sideways, sowhat embarrassed.
Seeing this, Xiao Keyan grew even more curious: “What’s the matter?”
Dong Jingyi looked at Xiao Keyan: “I’ll tell you, but you mustn’t spread this around.”
Xiao Keyan: “Don’t you know how tight-lipped I am?”
Only then did Dong Jingyi whisper in her ear: “I’ve been engaged for a long ti.”
Xiao Keyan was shocked and exclaid: “When did this happen? Whose son?”
Dong Jingyi’s face was sowhat flushed: “Soone you know, it’s… it’s the eldest son of your third aunt, your Cousin Xue!”
Xiao Keyan was stunned: “Cousin Xue?!”
Dong Jingyi nodded: “Three years ago, when Uncle Xue was transferred from Xiliang, Uncle Xue and Aunt Xue personally ca to my house and exchanged tokens.”
Xiao Keyan ca back to her senses: “I didn’t know anything about this, my mother didn’t know either, you really kept it secret.”
Dong Jingyi quickly replied: “It’s not intentional concealnt, it’s just that over these years the Prince and Princess Consort weren’t in Xiliang, so it wasn’t appropriate to bring this up.”
Xiao Keyan laughed: “Cousin Xue is scholarly and indeed impeccable in terms of deanor.” Saying this, she joked looking at Dong Jingyi, “Good taste!”
Dong Jingyi was so shy she couldn’t stand it: “Don’t laugh at .”
Xiao Keyan laughed even more happily, the flustered Dong Jingyi pretended to hit her, and the two of them imdiately started playfully tussling.
