The dusk of late autumn always arrives quickly, and suddenly it’s dark.
Yueyao carried the al prepared by Nanny Hua herself, and ate slowly, bite by bite. After finishing, she said to Xiang Wei: "Co to think of it, it’s really strange. The last ti Tingzheng got married, I was pregnant, and this ti I’m pregnant again. It’s such a coincidence."
Xiang Wei also found it quite coincidental.
Putting down the bowl in her hand, Yueyao thought for a mont and asked: "How is Madam Lin? Has she remarried?"
Xiang Wei’s expression was sowhat peculiar: "She hasn’t remarried, but her family has already arranged soone." The family that Madam Lin was arranged with wasn’t an official’s family; even an official’s family wouldn’t dare to marry soone like Madam Lin, who might cause trouble.
This ti, the Lin family chose a family for Madam Lin with the surna Zhao. He’s a Juren and his family is wealthy, but their kin aren’t officials, just a usual wealthy household. This Old Master Zhao’s parents passed away long ago, and his wife also died of illness two years ago. Now, he has two sons and a daughter, so there’s no need to worry about heirs.
Yueyao thought these conditions were decent: "Lady Lin also made painstaking efforts." Marrying below status ans even if she makes mistakes in her husband’s family, she needn’t worry about being dismissed or divorced. Unlike Tingzheng, although he doesn’t hold a high official rank himself, he has Yueyao behind him, along with the Lian family, the Li family, and the Ma family. With so many powerful connections behind her, even if Madam Lin is unwilling, she has to endure it. But marrying into the Zhao family, this issue doesn’t exist.
Though Xiang Wei despised Madam Lin and disliked Lady Lin, she couldn’t deny that Lady Lin was quite competent as a mother in this aspect: "This marriage isn’t bad; just hope she doesn’t continue to cause more trouble."
Yueyao shook her head and said: "If she went through such a big loss and couldn’t learn from it, the Lin family truly won’t care for her anymore." The Lin family absolutely wouldn’t allow Lin Qinghan to divorce again. It ans Lin Qinghan has to live in the Zhao family all her life, even if she dies, she must die there.
Xiang Wei sneered: "I just hope she lives in suffering every day." Such ungrateful people ought to face more hardships.
Yueyao shook her head: "Madam Lin’s nature isn’t bad, just not suitable with Tingzheng." Perhaps if Tingzheng had elder brothers, there wouldn’t be so much conflict.
Xiang Wei felt that with Madam Lin’s nature, she’s unsuitable with anyone.
Yueyao stopped talking about Lin Qinghan and asked about Wanting: "How is the child doing recently?" Yueyao originally wanted to bring her to the Earl’s Mansion, but after careful consideration, she thought it inappropriate. Later, when An Zhichen learned of her thoughts, he adamantly refused, so Yueyao gave up.
Xiang Wei said: "Nanny Chen said Wanting is young and can be corrected." This Nanny Chen is the nurturing nanny Yueyao hired with great effort.
Only then was Yueyao reassured. The divorce between Tingzheng and Lin Qinghan hurt Wanting the most, so what Yueyao could do was minimize Wanting’s trauma as much as possible.
A maid ca to report, saying: "Madam, the Eldest Lady from the Lian family has arrived."
The Eldest Lady Lian, Madam Peng, was entrusted by Yueyao with Tingzheng’s marriage, and she devoted herself wholeheartedly to it. So might even think Madam Peng was organizing a wedding for her own son!
Yueyao knew why Madam Peng was doing this. People in Capital City knew that Mingzhu initially intended Kexin to be her daughter-in-law, but the marriage was intercepted by the Peng Family’s Miss. If she harbors resentnt in the future and complains to Mingzhu, how would the Eldest Miss Peng have a good life!
In fact, Yueyao didn’t hold a grudge over this matter; she didn’t believe Little Bun was a good match. But this kind of thing, knowing it yourself is enough.
Madam Peng discussed the wedding procedures with Yueyao.
Yueyao smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, handle it as you see fit." Yueyao didn’t interfere in Madam Peng’s wedding arrangents, she accepted everything Madam Peng did without question.
Though Tingzheng’s marriage cost quite a bit this ti, he paid for everything himself; Yueyao didn’t spend a single penny.
After finishing her business, Madam Peng took her leave.
Xiang Wei murmured: "Lian Dongfang’s character isn’t great, but one has to admire him for his teaching of offspring. And the daughters-in-law he chose are all excellent." Among five sons, four beca Palace Graduates with good rankings, and the remaining one is now a Scholar. We can say there are no layn among Lian family’s n. With such achievents, not only in Capital City, but among scholars nationwide, few wouldn’t respect Lian Dongfang. If Lian Dongfang weren’t an official, Bailu Academy would definitely hire him as a teacher.
Yueyao’s expression was quite odd. If she rembered right, in her past life only Tingli and Tingyi beca Palace Graduates, Tingchao died young, and Tingyuan was still a Juren when she died.
