Chapter 783: Chapter 699, Reactions of Various Families (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

After everyone had left, Duke Cheng’en and the Princely Heir Jiang simultaneously dropped their smiles.

Princely Heir Jiang, "Father, didn’t the second younger sister say that Xiao Yeyang has taken a fancy to the girl from the Yan Family? He might not agree to marry Wan Ying."

Duke Cheng’en scoffed, "Imperial Family descendants, who among them can marry whomever they wish?"

Princely Heir Jiang, "...Today Xiao Yeyang, with no regard for Prince Ping’s dignity, spoke of his intention to be adopted out. Given his temperament, even if the Empress Dowager wishes to arrange his marriage, he may not consent to it."

Duke Cheng’en narrowed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, "Whether Xiao Yeyang agrees or not is not important. What matters is the Emperor’s opinion."

This time, letting the Empress Dowager arrange the marriage was also meant to test the Emperor’s attitude toward the Jiang Family.

...

At Earl Zhaode’s residence.

In Old Madam Han’s room, Earl Han was talking about the day’s events at the Imperial Palace.

Old Madam Han cared little for the affair between Xiao Yeyang and the Prince Ping’s residence since she couldn’t have a connection with them even if she wished. However, she perked up upon hearing that the Yan Family had two children appointed as commanders of the Jinling Guard.

"Eldest, you have a good eye. The match with the Yan Family was rightly chosen."

Earl Han smiled, "My son did not expect the Yan Family to be called to Beijing so soon."

Old Madam Han thought for a moment and then said, "Call Xinran back tomorrow. Inquire properly about the situation of the two younger brothers of Wenxiu. If they are not engaged and are presentable, our family might be able to add another connection."

Madam Han hesitated, "Mother, perhaps we should wait a bit longer, let’s call her after Wenxiu has succeeded in the exam. Recently, Xinran has been visiting frequently enough. I’m afraid the in-law’s Madam might take offense."

Old Madam Han frowned and shook her head, "Xinran’s mother-in-law, after all, comes from lesser circumstances. Last time, our family kindly hosted a banquet, intending to introduce the Yan Family ladies to everyone, but look at her, with a taut face all through the event—utterly small-minded."

"And that Old Madam Yan, let’s not even mention. She couldn’t get a word in when we spoke, making even me feel terribly awkward sitting there."

Earl Han frowned, "Mother, why haven’t you mentioned this before?"

Old Madam Han said dismissively, "I was considering their face, wasn’t I?"

Earl Han was skeptical, "That shouldn’t be. With the Yan Family serving as officials in the regions for many years, it’s impossible for them to lack social graces, isn’t it?"

"Little sister-in-law, you’re here! Come, sit next to me." _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
