Thinking of her son who had not yet married, Madam Feng sighed in her heart. To be honest, she really did not like the eldest daughter of the Yan Family. She was attractive, but her reputation was not good. However, since her son had spoken for the first time about wanting to marry, even if she disliked the idea, she had to agree to her son’s wishes.
"I truly want what’s best for Yiyi. We are all women here; we know how important a girl’s reputation is. Now that Yiyi is caught in rumors, she should be even more careful about her actions and behavior. Otherwise, who would dare to come and propose marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Li could no longer maintain her composure. Her own family had never spoken a word against her daughter; she could not allow outsiders to gossip.
"Madam, your words are unreasonable. My daughter is very good; she doesn’t need pity from outsiders. Moreover, my daughter has been engaged for two years. Please do not speak recklessly, to prevent harming my daughter’s reputation!"
Outside the house, Yan Wenxiu and Feng Hao were just about to enter when they heard Madam Li’s angry words.
Feng Hao shuddered and quickly turned to look at Yan Wenxiu. "Elder Sister Yan is engaged?"
Yan Wenxiu furrowed her brows, did not answer, and quickly entered the house.
Madam Li could no longer bother to entertain Madam Han and Madam Feng. Seeing Yan Wenxiu, she directly said, "Your mother-in-law has come all this way—she probably has many private matters to discuss with Xinran. Please escort her."
Seeing the obviously upset Madam Li, both Yan Wenxiu and Feng Hao were somewhat surprised.
Old Lady Yan finally took into consideration the face of her eldest granddaughter-in-law and spoke, "We have been talking indoors for so long. You two ladies might be feeling stuffy. Wenxiu, why don’t you accompany your mother-in-law for a walk in the yard?"
Even the grandmother was ushering them out. Yan Wenxiu no longer hesitated and, with a smile, said to Madam Han, "Mother-in-law, let this son-in-law accompany you for a stroll in the garden."
Feng Hao also hurriedly supported his mother.
Once everyone had left the room, Madam Li snorted, "What kind of people are these? What right do they have to be choosy about our daughter?"
...
When Han Xinran heard that her mother and aunt had been asked to step outside by her grandmother and mother-in-law, she hurried over.
