Old Mrs. Yuan poked Yuan Hui’s forehead and said, “I know you very well. You wouldn’t be so calm if you knew the truth after these things happened.”
Yuan Hui said, “Well, you are right, grandma.”
Then, Yuan Hui whispered the whole story to Old Mrs. Yuan.
Old Mrs. Yuan got extremely irritated. She didn’t expect that those people would treat her granddaughter like that! And they wanted to destroy Yuan Hui.
“What the hell? I can’t believe it!”
There was no male in the Yuan clan, but that did not mean that Yuan Hui, who came from the Yuan clan, should be bullied like this.
How dare they look down upon the Yuan clan so much and treat Yuan Hui like that? Did they think they could bully the Yuan clan easily?
Old Mrs. Yuan could not hold back her anger anymore.
If she did not teach these people, other people would think the Yuan clan must be declining now.
“Grandma, don’t be angry. Chuchu had helped me deal with them. They were totally embarrassed.”
“If Chuchu were not around you at that time, you would have been fooled by them. I will never let these people go easily!”
Huihui was the apple of Old Mrs. Yuan’s eyes. How could Old Mrs. Yuan tolerate those people who treated Yuan Hui like that?
“Grandma, we don’t have to worry about my marriage right now. Let’s take it slowly. Don’t get so angry. These people are not worth it. Your health is the most important, grandma. We can ignore them.”
Yuan Hui comforted Old Mrs. Yuan.
“And that Mr. Luo is not a good guy. I have never seen such a selfish person. I just wanted to treat Chuchu to a meal and happened to meet him there. However, he said that I followed him on purpose. Besides, there was a beautiful woman beside him at that time, and they seemed to have a romantic relationship.”
Old Mrs. Yuan got angry again when she heard the story about Mr. Luo.
Old Mrs. Yuan thought she must be confused as to pick such men for Yuan Hui.
“How arrogant Mr. Luo is! He thinks the Yuan clan is a business clan, so we don’t have other choices. The Yuan clan can easily find a scholar to be your husband. He has overestimated himself too much.’
“Grandma, Mr. Luo is not a good person, and I’m still young. I can still wait.
Don’t be so angry. Chuchu said that you should not be so excited.”
“The Yuan clan is also a respectable clan in Guangqing Province. How dare these people treat us like that? Do they think that since there are no male kids in our clan, our clan will be declining? I’ll show them how many good men the Yuan clan can pick!”
Old Mrs. Yuan was really irritated.
She could understand if the other party was unwilling to marry a clan of business.
However, Old Mrs. Yuan would never forgive them since they did such a thing to Yuan Hui.
The Yuan clan was wealthy, but not everyone could get a share from the Yuan clan.
Old Mrs. Yuan believed that since Yuan Hui was such a good girl, she would definitely find a good husband.
Zhao Chuchu has been listening to their conversation. At that moment, she said, “It doesn’t have to be only in Guangqing Province. Let’s enlarge the scope.
What about Imperial City? By the way, is Qiao Heting married?”
Hearing the name, Old Mrs. Yuan waved her hand and said, “His clan is so famous and powerful. I don’t think they will accept the Yuan clan.”
Although the Yuan clan and the Qiao clan were related by marriage, it was just a sideline of the Qiao clan. Old Mrs. Yuan had never thought that Yuan Hui could get married to the Duke’s clan.
Women should marry well, but they should also deserve it.
The Duke’s clan could not care less about the wealth of the Yuan clan.
They were the first-class nobility and ministers with close connections with the emperor. Even a princess could be qualified to marry them. Old Mrs. Yuan did not want Yuanhui to marry them and be bullied.
After all, compared with the Duke’s clan, the Yuan clan was too low.
Yuan Hui said, “My cousin and I have only met once in Yuanjiang County. I don’t think I am good enough for such a brilliant young man. Well, Chuchu, you should at least offer a practical candidate!”
Lnao cnucnu sama witn a smile, “Since cney are noD111ty ana rmmscers witn close connections with the emperor, the emperor must be cautious about them.
It would be better for them to marry a merchant woman than a woman from another noble clan. At least it can dispel the suspicion. If Huihui agrees, we should think about it. Maybe he is a great guy.”
Yuan Hui said, “Don’t make fun of me. I’m scared even to talk to my cousin. I have thought about marrying him. I’d better stay away from him.”
Yuan Hui knew her position and did not want to be mocked by others.
There was always a gap between the merchants and the nobles.
“Well, I think it makes sense. Huihui, what do you think of him? I can go to check out his personality for you. It will be great if it works out. If it doesn’t work out, nobody will be embarrassed. We can always negotiate about it.”
Old Mrs. Yuan considered Zhao Chuchu’s suggestion. “No. I don’t think so!” Yuan Hui immediately refused.
Anyway, she seemed scared of Qiao Heting.
Seeing that Yuanhui disagreed, Old Mrs. Yuan did not continue this topic.
Zhao Chuchu didn’t talk about it anymore.
After getting out of Old Mrs. Yuan’s room, Yuanhui said to Zhao Chuchu, “Why do you bring up my cousin? I’m almost scared to death.”
“Why?”
“I’m not good enough for my cousin. I don’t want my cousin to think that I’m insidious. Besides, he has seen my most embarrassed face. I get upset when I think about it. I don’t want to marry him.” “Tell me the truth. You don’t like him at all?”
“He is just my cousin.”
“OK, Xie Heng will come to the capital for the Provincial Examination next year, and then I will let him help you keep an eye on those scholars. Maybe your husband is one of them.”
“Well, alright. Anyway, I was so disgusted by those three men that I won’t go to see them again. However, thank you all the same. I wouldn’t know they are such bad people if it weren’t for you.”
Zhao Chuchu smiled and patted Yuan Hui’s head.
However, another thing about Yuan Hui’s marriage happened.
Second Mr. Ye did such a thing, but the Ye clan actually asked someone to come to the Yuan clan to propose marriage the next day. Old Mrs. Yuan was so angry that she wanted to pick up a broom and drive the person out.
However, the other party was the deputy governor, under the magistrate, and the second manager of Guangqing Province. Old Mrs. Yuan could only hold back her anger and politely decline the Ye clan.
“Some accidents happened to Huihui years ago, so she is still recovering. The doctor said that she can’t get married recently.”
“It doesn’t matter. They are both young. They can get married first. Old Mrs.
Yuan, there is no better clan than the Ye clan in Guangqing Province. Second
Mr. Ye and Miss Yuan match each other. You don’t want Miss Yuan to miss the chance, right?”
The matchmaker tried very hard to convince Old Mrs. Yuan.
“Besides, Second Mr. Ye is a gentleman who has read many books. Old Mrs. Yuan, you can’t find such a good man again. I know there are some rumors, but
I also found out that a brothel girl framed Second Mr. Ye.”
“You also know that the father of Second Mr. Ye is the deputy governor. Many girls want to marry into the Ye clan, even if they could only be a concubine. Second Mr. Ye is still too young, which is why others fool him. Now that the Ye clan has solved the problem, it will never affect the relationship between Second Mr. Ye and Miss Yuan..
