Xiang Wei noticed a peculiar expression on Yueyao’s face and asked, "Miss, what’s wrong?"
Yueyao remained silent.
Xiang Wei also felt a bit troubled, but finally voiced her opinion, "Miss, Tingzheng likes the Young Miss of the Lin Family. If you stop him and Tingzheng rejects this marriage out of respect for you, any future misfortunes in love will lead him to bla you and resent you."
Yueyao hadn’t thought about the future implications: "Do you think the Young Miss of the Lin Family and Tingzheng are well-suited?" Yueyao trusted Xiang Wei’s judgnt.
Xiang Wei nodded, "Very well-suited."
Yueyao agonized over it the entire day, and only when Tingzheng returned did she discuss it with him, "Do you truly like the Young Miss of the Lin Family and must marry her?"
Tingzheng did not understand why Yueyao would dislike Younger Sister Lin, "Sis..."
Yueyao interrupted Tingzheng, saying, "Your future wife will spend her life with you. Whether I like her or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that you do."
Tingzheng felt a bit vexed, "Sis, Younger Sister Lin is truly wonderful. Once you get to know her, you’ll surely co to like her."
Yueyao didn’t respond to Tingzheng and rely said, "If you’ve decided to conclude this marriage, I won’t stop you. But I must remind you, the Young Miss of the Lin Family is like a flower nurtured in a greenhouse, needing careful attention at ho, unable to endure the harsh winds and rains outside." With Xiang Wei’s reminder, Yueyao realized why she felt uncomfortable about the Young Miss of the Lin Family. Miss Lin was very pure, as clean and clear as a blank sheet of paper, revealing how well the Lin Family had protected this girl.
After realizing this, Yueyao beca even more reluctant to conclude this marriage. If Tingzheng were a second son, this marriage would indeed be very fitting, but Tingzheng is the sole heir of the second branch, destined to establish his own household. Marrying such a pure, blank-paper-like girl, Yueyao genuinely felt, was unsuitable.
Without hesitation, Tingzheng said, "Sis, I wish to marry Younger Sister Lin." With those words, Tingzheng had made his decision clear.
Yueyao replied to Tingzheng with one word, "Alright."
Xiang Wei saw Yueyao’s gloomy deanor and comforted, "Miss, the Young Miss of the Lin Family might be as pure as a blank paper at ho, but I believe Lady Lin will certainly teach her well over the next two years, so there’s nothing to worry about." Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao was worrying too much. With Tingzheng being an only child, having a wife as pure as a blank sheet wasn’t an issue. The Lin Family likely valued this very aspect when choosing Tingzheng.
Yueyao smiled as she touched her belly, "I’m overthinking. Perhaps it’s indeed as Nanny Hao said, pregnant won tend to overthink everything." With nothing to do each day, just huddled indoors, how could she not dwell on things!
Realizing this, Yueyao suddenly woke up, took a deep breath, and said, "I need to paint." As long as she had sothing to do, she certainly wouldn’t think about all these jumbled matters.
Lady Lin was delighted upon hearing the matchmaker’s visit. She had been waiting for days but hadn’t seen the matchmaker, fearing Lady An had disagreed with the marriage.
Yueyao didn’t know that she had once told An Zhichen she didn’t want to unite with the Lin Family, but An Zhichen hadn’t told the Lin Family. Instead, he directly inford Tingzheng, so the Lin Family was unaware that Yueyao initially didn’t want to unite with their family. Although the matchmaker’s visit was a few days later than they had anticipated, considering Yueyao was pregnant, the Madam of the Lin Family didn’t think much of it.
Once the matchmaker visited, the marriage was quickly settled. As for the wedding date, the Lin Family intended to keep their daughter for another two years, and Yueyao had no objection to this plan. In just over two years, Tingzheng would be eighteen, a perfect age for marriage.
