Chapter 573 -524, Strive for _1

The Dong Family’s banquet, aside from the incident where Young Master He punished An Xi, didn’t have any other surprises. After a whole day, it could be said that both guests and hosts had enjoyed themselves.

After dinner, Madam Dong sent the female guests away, then helped Old Madam Dong back to her quarters and took the opportunity to talk about the day’s events at the banquet.

As she sipped her tea, Madam Dong sighed, “My daughter-in-law is becoming more and more useless these days. After a whole banquet, I felt as if my bones were falling apart.”

Old Madam Dong looked at her daughter-in-law with a smile, “You should hurry and find a wife for Yuanxuan. Once he has a daughter-in-law, you can relax.”

Madam Dong put down her teacup, “We’ve hosted several banquets at home. Mother, have you taken a liking to any prospects?”

The smile on Old Madam Dong’s face faded a little as she said with some dissatisfaction, “The daughters of the local officials have passable looks and family upbringing. However, their family backgrounds are lacking and some of them are not quite suitable for our Marquis Yongjia Residence.”

Madam Dong said, “…Mother, the Marquis title will be inherited by my eldest brother in the future. It’s not really related to our branch of the family. I think we can afford to lower our expectations regarding social standing slightly.”

Old Madam Dong immediately disagreed, “How could we do that? Precisely because our branch of the family cannot inherit the title, we must find a distinguished family to marry into, so Yuanxuan can also have support in the future.”

Madam Dong did not place much emphasis on social standing, but she also found her mother-in-law’s argument to be sensible. Marrying into a high and distinguished family would ease her son’s future considerably.

Old Madam Dong paused for a moment, “You need not be anxious. If we cannot find a suitable match locally, we shall go back to Beijing to choose. Last year, I already wrote a letter asking your grandmother to help us look.”

Madam Dong nodded and then brought up the matter of how Young Master He punished An Xi.

Having heard this, Old Madam Dong scoffed, “Causing trouble at someone else’s banquet, the He family really can do as they please. Do they really think that after moving to Beijing they can disregard our family? The He family may have some power locally, but in Beijing, what are they? I hope they never have to come begging for our help.”

Madam Dong quickly responded, “Mother, there’s really no need to get upset over such matters. We should just take it as a joke.” She smiled, adding, “That girl Yiyi, though, I really do like her. If it weren’t for her and Shiyu supporting Yuanyao today, who knows what commotion might have arisen.”

Old Madam Dong’s expression softened, “The Yan Family’s eldest daughter is indeed not bad.”

Madam Dong’s eyes twinkled as she tentatively asked, “Mother, what do you think about suggesting Yiyi to Yuanxuan?”

Outside the door, Dong Yuanxuan, who had come looking for his mother about something, was about to enter when he overheard this conversation. His heart trembled, and he involuntarily stopped, quietly standing outside the door to listen.

Old Madam Dong furrowed her brows, looking at her daughter-in-law, “Why would you have such an idea?”

Madam Dong laughed, “I genuinely like the girl Yiyi a lot — straightforward, generous, and capable. She’s been helping manage the household affairs for Madam Li for the past few years, she gets along well with Yuanyao, and she’s known Yuanxuan since they were young, inside and out…” _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Outside, Dong Yuanxuan’s eyes grew brighter as he listened to this conversation. The joy on his face was irrepressible, drawing several glances from the page standing at his side.

However, inside the room, Old Madam Dong interrupted Madam Dong.

“The Yan Family’s social status is too low. Marrying into their family wouldn’t just fail to support Yuanxuan; we might even have to rely on Yuanxuan to support them. It won’t do.”

Outside, Dong Yuanxuan’s brow furrowed upon hearing Old Madam Dong’s resolute refusal, and he couldn’t help but stride into the room.

Seeing Dong Yuanxuan enter, both Old Madam Dong and Madam Dong were somewhat surprised.
