Chapter 1402: 1402 To subdue the enemy without fighting is supre Chapter 1402: 1402 To subdue the enemy without fighting is supre Su Qingyue smiled and said, “Lady Xiao, since the third brother has yet to be officially acknowledged by the family, if I were to address him like that now, it might spark idle gossip.”
“I am Yuchuan’s birth mother; how could there be idle gossip, and who would dare to indulge in it!” Shen Yun’s face exuded the domineering aura befitting a lady from a first-class family.
She took a set of embroidered clothes from Shuang’er’s arms.
Su Qingyue glanced over and saw the erald green clothes with golden thread outlining the collar and cuffs, and clusters of lifelike pear flowers on the skirt of the dress, while the birds perched on the branches seed as if they were about to take flight.
“What a magnificent Cloud and Brocade Robe!” Xiao Yuchuan, just entering the yard, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“Chuan’er has returned from the shop,” Shen Yun said with a smile, taking out an embroidered handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Xiao Yuchuan wasn’t used to it; he used to refuse it every ti, but seeing Shen Yun looking sad, he relented, even though he didn’t like it.
Seeing that her son didn’t resist, Shen Yun felt relieved, thinking to herself that her diligent efforts over the past month had been fruitful.
“Chuan’er, you really have a good eye.
This Cloud and Brocade Robe was embroidered by the best Embroidery Workshop in the capital – Jinxiu Manor.
I originally wanted to pick the finest cloth and embroider a dress for Qingyue myself, but my embroidery work isn’t good, so I asked Jinxiu Manor to do it instead.
Qingyue is extrely beautiful, and wearing this Cloud and Brocade Robe, she will undoubtedly shine even brighter, unmatched by anyone.”
“Lady Xiao’s favor is perhaps too generous,” Xiao Yuchuan began, but before he could finish, Shen Yun hurriedly interrupted him, “Chuan’er, why speak as if you’re an outsider?
We are family.
Ɲονǥᴑ.ƈο
What the aristocratic family owns is all yours; it’s not just about a Cloud and Brocade Robe, whatever you want, Father and Mother can provide.
Our Qingyue followed you when you had neither money nor influence; such a good girl deserves the Xiao Family’s appreciation.”
“But, the marriage between the Xiao Family and the Gongsun Family…” Xiao Yuchuan hesitated.
“I’ve discussed this matter with your father,” Shen Yun said gently, “Seeing how you cherish Qingyue, I’m sure you wouldn’t marry another woman.”
Xiao Yuchuan nodded.
“Your father and I have only one son like you; of course, everything centers on your happiness,” Shen Yun spoke earnestly, “Chuan’er, once you are officially recognized by the family, we will return to the capital together.
Your father and I will then visit the Gongsun Family to call off their engagent.
The marriage arrangents between the two families are a major issue; to break off an engagent is to disgrace the Gongsun Family, so naturally, your father and I must personally atone for it.”
After hearing this, Xiao Yuchuan knew he had caused inconvenience to the Xiao Family.
If Master Xiao and Lady Xiao had forced him to marry Gongsun Qianru, he would have been defiant.
But since they were so understanding, he felt sowhat apologetic.
Observing her son’s silent expression, Shen Yun knew that her strategy was working.
Instead of driving him away from Su Qingyue, she decided to ‘bring together’ and ‘harmonize.’
“Chuan’er, your father and I have been in Longwan Town for over a month now, leaving many affairs in the capital unattended,” Shen Yun said, a trace of worry on her face, “It’s not appropriate for your father and to delay any longer; when do you think you can return to the capital with us?”
Glancing at Su Qingyue, “Of course, bringing Qingyue with us.
Our whole family will go back together.”
“We’ll see,” Xiao Yuchuan replied, without much enthusiasm.
However, Shen Yun was quite pleased with his response.
Because he had shifted from a firm ‘not going’ to a state of indecision.
‘Haste does not bring success’; Shen Yun understood this principle better than anyone.
No matter who the opponent is, winning hearts is paramount.
