Chapter 574 -525, Testing_1
After chatting with Dong Lao TaiTai for a while, Madam Dong and Dong Yuanxuan excused themselves to leave.
“Go and check if your father has finished his work in the front courtyard. I can go back to the main courtyard by myself,” she said.
Seeing that her son wanted to accompany her, Madam Dong smiled and declined.
They had all been busy throughout the day, not only her, but also her son and daughter.
Dong Yuanxuan did not agree but instead said, “Mother, let me accompany you for a while.”
Madam Dong looked at her increasingly handsome and dashing son and smiled, nodding her head.
Along the way, noticing that her son attempted to speak several times but stopped himself, Madam Dong asked, “Xuan’er, do you have something to tell Mother?”
Dong Yuanxuan was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and looked towards Madam Dong, “Mother, I heard the conversation between you and Grandmother just now.”
Madam Dong stopped walking, turned her head to look at her son, and waited for him to continue.
Dong Yuanxuan: “…I think Sister Yan is quite good.” After saying this, he looked somewhat anxiously at Madam Dong.
Madam Dong silently observed her son for a while, seeing the nervousness in his eyes, she remained silent for a moment and continued walking while holding his hand, “Mother also likes that girl, but… your grandmother wasn’t wrong either, the Yan Family’s background is indeed a bit low.”
Dong Yuanxuan quickly responded, “Mother, I will work hard for my own future, not necessarily relying on the Yue Family’s support. Besides, Wen Xiu is knowledgeable and capable, his prospects in the future may not be worse than mine.”
Looking at her son’s eagerness, Madam Dong frowned, “Xuan’er, tell Mother the truth, you and Yiyi…”
Dong Yuanxuan knew what Madam Dong was asking about and hurriedly explained, “No, Mother, don’t overthink it. Sister Yan and I have always treated each other with the utmost respect, without any impropriety.”
Madam Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
Since she mentioned finding a match for her son, he had been acting quite cool, and she was genuinely worried that there might have been something going on between him and Yiyi.
Dong Yuanxuan continued, “Actually, before today, I had never thought this way. But when I heard Mother mention Sister Yan as a potential match for me, my heart was moved.”
“From childhood until now, I’ve met many young ladies from families we’re close to, but most of them are rather reserved and dull. They keep things to themselves and expect me to guess and wonder, which is tolerable once or twice, but if it’s going to be like this for a lifetime, the very thought gives me a headache.”
Madam Dong nodded in agreement. She didn’t like people who were too subdued either.
Seeing that his mother’s expression was good, Dong Yuanxuan gradually gained confidence, “I’ve always felt that our family is very good, Mother and sister are both cheerful, and seeing your smiles when I come home makes Father and me very happy. Even if I’m tired from being outside, my heart is joyful.”
“Luckily, Sister Yan is the same kind of person. Being with her always makes one feel open-hearted, relaxed, and comfortable.”
Madam Dong turned her head to look at her son, “Do you really only have this thought today?”
Dong Yuanxuan nodded earnestly.
Madam Dong turned away, sighing, “Mother has no objections to Yiyi, but your grandmother and your father… they may not agree.”
Dong Yuanxuan immediately furrowed his brows.
Madam Dong glanced at him and patted her son’s hand, “Since it’s someone you like, Mother will try to fight for it for you, but… don’t hold out too much hope. Yiyi is good, but she’s only one of the candidates.”
A look of joy appeared on Dong Yuanxuan’s face as he bowed with a fist in his hand, making a ninety-degree bow, “Thank you, Mother, for your blessing.”
Looking at her son, who was visibly pleased, Madam Dong furrowed her brows, returned to the main residence, and after her son had left, immediately summoned a maid and instructed, “Call the Personal Attendant who serves the Master. I have some questions to ask him. Remember, quietly, don’t alarm the Master.”
The nanny beside Madam Dong, seeing this, immediately asked, “Madam, are you worried that…”
Madam Dong shook her head, “I trust my own son, and I believe Yiyi is a lady who knows propriety and boundaries, but you’ve seen how happy Xuan’er was just now, I need to know how far they have actually gone.”
