Chapter 595: Chapter 546, Disagree_1

Madam Yan watched Yang Xiujun leave her room. Then Yan Siyu knelt in front of the elderly lady. Although her daughter had been hesitant earlier, Madam Yan had discerned the key point, her eldest daughter-in-law wanted to arrange a marriage for Wen Kai with a legitimate daughter from an aristocratic family.

How could this be? If it were to happen, what would become of her Xiujun?

“Mother…”

Just as Yan Siyu was about to speak, Madam Yan raised her hand to interrupt her, looking affectionately at her daughter, “I know what’s on your mind. I have been quite aware since you’ve always been trying to match Xiujun with Wen Kai.”

“Even though I know your elder brother and sister-in-law would disagree, I was thinking—if the two children were willing, then I would be prepared to face the disgrace and fight for their chance.”

“But, it is clear that Wen Kai holds no special feelings for Xiujun.”

Yan Siyu hastily said, “Mother, that’s because the two children haven’t spent much time together. If they could be around each other more, it would not be like this.”

“Mother, I know the Yang Family is not a good match, but I have no say in their household. If I don’t match Xiujun with Wen Kai, I’m really afraid my mother-in-law will rashly choose any family to marry her off to.”

Immediately, Madam Yan snorted coldly, “That will not do. If the Yang Family dares to act rashly, I’ll have your three older brothers pay them a visit. We no longer fear them now, so you should stand tall.”

After a moment of silence,

“As for the matter of matching Xiujun with Wen Kai, you should not bring it up again. If there had been no suitable matches before, there might have been a chance, but now that there is a prospect, it’s no longer possible.”

Yan Siyu became anxious, “Mother, please give Xiujun a chance. This time, let’s not have Xiujun return to Beijing with me. Let her stay in the estate to spend more time with Wen Kai…”

Madam Yan directly interrupted Yan Siyu, “What are you saying? Xiujun has a father and a mother; how would it look for her to stay at our house?”

Seeing her daughter with tears streaming down her face, Madam Yan couldn’t bear it and spoke earnestly, “Child, listen to your mother. Forget about Wen Kai. In the future, you will still need the support of your eldest brother and his wife. Alienating them will do no good for you or for the children.”

Yan Siyu clung to her grandmother, “Mother, is there really no chance at all?”

Madam Yan replied, “As a mother, it’s natural for you to want a good marriage for your daughter, but isn’t your sister-in-law thinking the same? Given a better option, who would choose the lesser one?”

Madam Yan wiped the tears from her daughter’s face, “All right, Xiujun didn’t look well; you should go back and check on her.”

Watching her mother’s steadfast gaze, Yan Siyu knew her daughter’s marriage plans were hopeless. She dried her tears and, with the help of a maid, left the room.

After everyone had left, Madam Yan let out a weary sigh, “Children are debts, indeed.”

…

Early the next day, Daohua came to join Madam Yan for a meal and found her lacking energy, with dark circles under her eyes.

Madam Yan glanced at Daohua but didn’t bother to interact with her.

Daohua, unfazed by the cold reception, thickened her skin and moved closer, still cheerful as she helped herself to food despite several stern glances from the old lady.

Those around them shifted at the sight.

“I knew it,” murmured Yan Yile quietly. “Sister Xiujun was wronged. Grandmother would certainly not be pleased. Look, even the eldest sister didn’t get a good expression.”

Yan Yihuan gave her a warning glare.

Yan Yile pouted and continued eating.

Yang Xiujun, however, felt a secret thrill. Her maternal grandmother still cherished her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be cold towards Sister Yiyi. It was the first time she had seen it.

After breakfast, Madam Yan indicated that her granddaughters could leave.

Daohua lingered without departing, and the old lady glanced at her and went off on her own to prune the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Without another word, Daohua followed.

Seeing her granddaughter follow, Madam Yan spoke irritably, “Keep your distance from me, don’t get in the way of my work.”

Daohua: “I won’t, I want to stay close to grandmother.” After saying this, she moved even closer to the old lady.

Noticing her cling to her like glue, Madam Yan couldn’t help but laugh, tapping Daohua’s forehead: “You’re counting on me not punishing you, aren’t you?”

Daohua wrapped her arm around the old lady’s, batting her eyes playfully: “I’m so adorable, grandmother surely can’t bear to punish me.”

At her words, the old lady couldn’t hold back her laughter any longer.

Seeing the old lady happy, Daohua’s smile grew even brighter.

She knew her grandmother wasn’t angry, just feeling slightly exasperated inside; she couldn’t help but put on a stern face. If she were serious, then she’d truly be foolish.

While pruning the flowers and plants, Madam Yan asked, “What exactly happened with your cousin Xiujun?”

Madam Yan hadn’t completely believed what Xiujun had said yesterday.

Daohua said casually: “It’s nothing much, just that at the Feng Family’s wedding, she tried to throw herself into brother Hongrui’s arms in front of everyone, and I spoiled her plan.”

Madam Yan hadn’t expected her granddaughter to do such a thing, and without paying attention, she cut off a peony flower.

Daohua glanced at the old lady’s expression and said, “Grandmother, I’ve read the Medical Book, and it says that children born to cousins are very likely to have problems.”

Madam Yan glared at her: “I’ve never thought of marrying Xiujun off to Wen Kai.”

Hearing this, Daohua let out a sigh of relief and continued, “Wasn’t father having cousin Hongrui go to the Academy to study recently? Yet cousin Xiujun ran to me, asking me to plead with father on her behalf. I refused, and since then she’s been avoiding me intentionally or otherwise.”

She was not tattling, but she wanted her grandmother to understand that she and Yang Xiujun had incompatible personalities.

“Grandmother, I really tried my best to get along with cousin Xiujun, but alas, our temperaments simply don’t mesh well. In the future, please don’t ask me to look after her again.”

Madam Yan sighed. She had noticed her granddaughter’s temper wasn’t exactly agreeable and didn’t want to trouble her, yet still said, “After all, she’s a relative, and it won’t be long before they return to Beijing. Make sure things don’t get too ugly on the surface.”

Daohua smiled: “Of course. Even with cousin Xiujun causing such a scene, I just had a private word with her. Mother didn’t intervene, and if she hadn’t made an issue of it, no one at home would’ve known. But she had to act pitiful and play the frail card.”

At lunchtime, when everyone saw Daohua and Madam Yan talking and laughing again, they all revealed a “just as expected” look.

Yan Siyu and her daughter wore somewhat sorrowful expressions in their eyes.

After all, there was a difference between a granddaughter and a granddaughter-in-law.

…

After lunch, Daohua helped Madam Yan to rest, and seeing the fatigue between the old lady’s brows, she turned and went to the main courtyard.

Madam Li was organizing the betrothal gifts for the Han Family when Daohua picked up the gift list to look at it and suddenly said, “Mother, let’s halve the gifts we’ve prepared for auntie to take back to the Yang Family.”

As for her auntie, she really couldn’t say she felt any affection. She treated her with all due respect, for the sake of her grandmother’s doting heart.

She had thought that being kind to her would please her grandmother, but her auntie still troubled her grandmother, even knowing it would make things difficult, which truly annoyed her.

Madam Li was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: “That’s fine. Some people really aren’t worth being treated too well.” She had intended to prepare more gifts for her sister-in-law to take back, to help her boast in front of the Yang Family. But after Xiujun caused such a fuss, she was truly fed up.
