Chapter 583 -534, Time to Arrange the Engagement_1

After returning to the Li Residence, everyone got out of the carriage and were on their way to the main courtyard when Daohua saw her fourth brother looking pensive and couldn’t help asking, “Fourth Brother, what are you pondering?”

Yan Wenkai narrowed his eyes, “I’m wondering, now that Big Brother is betrothed, isn’t it my turn?”

At his words, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at him.

Daohua was stunned for a moment before she realized, “Fourth Brother, what are you saying? I didn’t hear you clearly just now.”

Yan Wenkai glanced at her, seemingly displeased that she hadn’t heard him clearly, “What I mean is, I’m not exactly young anymore, it’s time I got engaged.”

Seeing Yan Wenkai bringing up his own marriage without any embarrassment, Daohua fell silent, “Fourth Brother, you still have Second Brother and Third Brother above you, neither of them has spoken for marriage yet; you’d best wait your turn.”

Yan Wenkai immediately retorted, “I just want to get engaged, I didn’t say I want to get married right away, it’s no bother to them.” He then looked at Daohua with a smile, “Big Sister, what do you think of Miss Su?”

Looking at Yan Wenkai, who was smiling like a fox, Daohua couldn’t help but step back, distancing herself a bit, “Miss Su is, of course, excellent.”

Yan Wenkai then looked towards Yan Wenxiu and Yan Wentao, “Big Brother, Third Brother, what do you think?”

Yan Wenxiu took a glance at Yan Wenkai and after a moment of contemplation spoke, “Miss Su’s temperament is quite good.”

Yan Wentao followed by nodding his head.

Yan Wenkai’s gaze then fell on Yan Yishuang.

Yan Yishuang, not expecting Yan Wenkai to ask for her opinion, was taken aback before quickly saying, “Miss Su is learned and talented, gentle and quiet, with an upright character, truly a role model for me to learn from.”

Yan Wenkai immediately grinned, walked over, and patted her shoulder, “Third Sister, you have a good eye indeed.”

Yan Yishuang was jolted by the pat, but her face showed a smile.

Knowing his siblings’ opinions of Su Shiyu, Yan Wenkai was satisfied, “Hmm… I’ve made my decision, I will go and speak to mother later and have her help me propose to the Su Family.”

Boom~

Thunderstruck!

The announcement blew Daohua and Yan Wenxiu away, leaving them somewhat unable to recover.

Yang Xiujun and the siblings from the Li Family were simply dumbstruck.

After a long silence, Daohua was the first to regain her senses, “Fourth Brother, marriage is not child’s play, you shouldn’t speak without consideration.”

Yan Wenkai immediately voiced his dissatisfaction, “Who’s playing around? I’m serious. As long as Miss Su and I are betrothed, when I take her out it won’t harm her reputation.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yan Wenxiu quickly patted Yan Wenkai’s head lightly, “Marriage is a serious matter, to be arranged by the parents and the matchmaker, not something for you to casually discuss here.”

Yan Wenkai immediately argued back, “I’m not speaking casually, I’m going to find mother right now.” Saying this, he quickly walked away.

Yan Wenxiu was stunned, helpless to deal with his forthright younger brother. He looked around at everyone present and said, “Everyone, please don’t spread what Wenkai just said.”

The siblings from the Li Family hurriedly assured, “Wenxiu, you can rest easy, we won’t talk about it.”

Yan Wenxiu nodded, then stepped forward to follow Yan Wenkai, with Daohua and Yan Wentao quickly trailing behind.

…

Madam Li and the uncles and aunts from the Li Family had returned earlier; by now, Madam Li had gone back to the guest courtyard, waiting for the children to return so they could all rest.

“Mother!”

Madam Li was sipping her Calming Tea when she saw her youngest son rush in with great haste, and she immediately chided him with a laugh, “You’re too old for such antics, you should learn to be more composed like your eldest and third brother.”

Yan Wenkai froze mid-motion, straightening his back, and walked over to Madam Li in a feigned composed manner, performing an impeccable bow with all due formality.

As soon as Madam Li noticed, her eyebrows rose high; her youngest son, always lively and forthright, seldom behaved so politely. Just as she thought to praise him, she was jolted by his bombshell of a statement.

“Mother, since eldest brother is already betrothed, isn’t it time you arrange a marriage for me?”

Madam Li was momentarily stunned before responding, “What did you say?”

Yan Wenkai sat down next to Madam Li, stating earnestly, “Mother, it’s time for me to get betrothed.”

Madam Li gazed intently at her youngest son; he wouldn’t bring up his own marriage without good reason. Could it be that he had gotten involved with some disreputable woman outside?

With this thought, Madam Li’s expression darkened slightly. After a long silence, she nodded, “Rest assured, I have it in mind, and your father remembers it too. He will make sure to find you a suitable match.”

Yan Wenkai immediately replied, “I have already found a suitable one.”

Madam Li’s face grew neutral, asking languidly, “You’ve found someone? Whose daughter is it?”

Yan Wenkai, seeing the displeasure on Madam Li’s face, grew anxious, “It’s Sister Su.”

Madam Li raised her eyes to look at him, “Su Shiyu?”

Yan Wenkai nodded vigorously, cautiously adding, “Mother, can you help me propose to the Su family?”

Relieved that it wasn’t some disreputable woman, Madam Li scrutinized her youngest son and inquired, “Why have you suddenly decided to propose to the Su family?”

Yan Wenkai answered, “I like Sister Su, you see. She’s gentle, can cook delicious meals, and doesn’t mind listening to me talk. She’s wonderful!” With that, he gazed nervously at Madam Li, “Mother, do you like Sister Su?”

Madam Li affirmed, “Miss Su comes from a distinguished family, her appearance, character, and manners are all exceptional among her peers. Naturally, I like her.”

Yan Wenkai breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s great, Mother! Eldest brother and eldest sister also like Sister Su. Please help me propose to her quickly.”

Madam Li was bemused, “Our family likes Miss Su, but have you considered whether the Su family likes you?”

Yan Wenkai immediately stood erect, “I’m so outstanding, how could they not like me?”

Daohua, Yan Wenxiu, and Yan Wentao, who were eavesdropping outside the door, looked at the bafflingly confident Yan Wenkai with a mix of feelings.

Madam Li was amused by this but patiently explained to Yan Wenkai, “Wenkai, marriage is a matter of matching social statuses. Our family’s standing doesn’t quite match with the Su Family’s; it’s a bit of a stretch. Daughters nurtured in grand households seldom marry beneath their status unless the groom is truly extraordinary.”

Yan Wenkai said unabashedly, “But I am truly extraordinary.”

Madam Li was taken aback and looked closely at her youngest son, “Are you serious?”

Yan Wenkai nodded earnestly, “Of course I’m serious. Mother, please help me propose. I’ve often accompanied Hongxin to the Su Residence; Old Master Su and Master Su both like me quite a lot.”

Madam Li did not immediately respond but pondered over her tea.

The Su Family… indeed, it would be an excellent match.

However, she was also acutely aware that the Su Family, being a Scholar Family, highly valued rules and etiquette. With bright prospects ahead, the Yan Family had little to offer the Su Family, and a proposal would likely end in rejection.

Looking at her youngest son, with his eager eyes fixed on her, Madam Li indeed found it hard to refuse outright.
