Chapter 825: Chapter 726, Diverse Reactions_2

Now that the emperor has granted a marriage, Yan Zhigao no longer concealed it, "Two years ago, Yeyang had already proposed to your eldest sister. You know his status is prestigious, and without the emperor or Prince Ping making the decision, our family received his token of engagement, but we couldn’t announce the betrothal."

Yan Wenxiu: "You shouldn’t have kept this from your son. Just the other day, I was thinking about matchmaking your eldest daughter with Feng Hao."

Yan Zhigao frowned, "I was wondering why your mother has been looking all twisted up these last few days. So, you’re the source of it," he said, pausing.

"In the future, don’t take such matters into your own hands again. Even if you find someone you approve of outside, you should first come home and discuss it with your mother, in case she has other plans."

Yan Wenxiu nodded, "I’ve been rash."

Yan Zhigao didn’t dwell on it, instead, he chuckled, "The emperor’s decree of marriage came at just the right time. With this imperial decree, all the previous rumors about your sister and Yeyang will crumble without a fight."

...

The unexpected decree of marriage left the Yan Family somewhat dazed, let alone the rest of Beijing’s families.

Duke Cheng’en Residence.

Jiang Wanying, hearing the news, was so furious that she smashed all the ornaments in her room.

When Lady Jiang arrived, she almost got hit and cursed out loud, "What are you doing? Look at yourself, do you still bear any resemblance to a well-bred young lady?"

Jiang Wanying cried out in distress, "Brother Yang is gone. Why should I continue to put on the airs of a genteel young lady? No matter how good I am, I can’t compare to that enchantress." After saying that, she burst into a violent cough.

Seeing this, Lady Jiang grew anxious and quickly stepped forward to soothe her, "Child, your health has always been fragile, why harm yourself over Xiao Yeyang?"

Once Jiang Wanying’s coughing subsided, she grabbed Lady Jiang, tearfully pleading, "Mother, I really like Brother Yang. Help me, please help me."

Seeing her daughter so heartbroken, Lady Jiang was distressed to the core. Embracing her, she said fiercely, "Xiao Yeyang and Yan Yiyi have only been granted a marriage. There have been cases where betrothed couples couldn’t marry."

Duke Residence.

Madam Guo and Guo Xueming were dumbstruck upon hearing the emperor’s decree.

"How could this be?"

Madam Guo found it hard to believe and pondered for a moment before angrily slapping the table, "We should not have cooperated with the Jiang Family to spread the matter of Yeyang and Yan Yiyi."

The Yan Family has contributed to the victory in the Northern Frontier, and Yan Yiyi was a countess personally titled by the emperor. Her reputation destroyed by Yeyang who intended to marry her, the emperor, who was against alliances with noble families through marriage, naturally agreed to it.

Damn, their scheming had inadvertently helped Yan Yiyi!

Otherwise, with the Empress Dowager’s obstruction, Yan Yiyi would never have hoped to marry Yeyang.

At that moment, the Duke sent someone to call for them.
