Chapter 618: Be content with yourself

Yan Wanshuang said to Madam Gu: "Based on the relationship between the Zhao family and the Yan family, I will just speak frankly."

Madam Gu nodded: "That's what you said. Even if I rejected Yun He, I understand."

Yan Wanshuang shook her head: "The court is in turmoil right now, it's not a good time to discuss marriage. According to my father and mother's wishes, the Marquis' Mansion is recovering too quickly, and there will definitely be more twists and turns in the future."

"Besides, although Yun He is a good kid, as a mother, I don't want to bring together a couple that is at odds with each other, so I think I should ask the two children's opinions."

Mrs. Gu nodded in understanding: "You are right."

Yan Wanshuang said again: "So I thought, let's put this matter off for now, first, wait until the Marquis's Mansion is firmly established, and then it will be safer, so as to avoid any incident involving your Gu family."

"Secondly, I thought that after the disturbance in the court had calmed down, I would ask the two children what they thought. If they both agreed, the marriage would be a success. I was just afraid that if one of them was interested and the other was not, it would be easy for them to have a rift if we tried to force them together..."

Yan Wanshuang's words were sincere and genuine. Madam Gu nodded and said, "That's right. I like Xueqing so much that I forgot about this."

Yan Wanshuang smiled and said, "Although since ancient times, people have always emphasized the parents' orders and matchmaker's words, but our two families are close, so it would be best if we can form an in-law relationship. If not, we must not become enemies because of this, so we need to be extremely cautious."

"You're right. I'll test Yun He's intentions first. This kid is never at home all day, and I don't know what he's busy with..." Mrs. Gu sighed with a smile.

Although Pang Xinlian, who was not far away, didn't hear it clearly, she was able to get a general idea because she was listening carefully.

Not until the two men walked away did Pang Xinlian come out from behind the dead trees with a gloomy face.

The Marquis' Mansion wants to arrange a marriage between Zhao Xueqing and Brother Gu?

When Pang Xinlian thought of this, tears immediately fell from her eyes and she fiercely tore off a dead branch beside her.

She knew that these people in the Marquis' Mansion had never truly treated her as one of their own.

She had tried several times to express her feelings for Brother Gu to the old lady, and wanted to ask the old lady to act as a matchmaker between her and the Gu family.

But every time, my grandmother pretended not to understand and refused calmly.

Unexpectedly, this was what they were planning.

Pang Xinlian turned around and walked slowly towards her yard, absent-minded all the way.

When she reached the gate of the courtyard, Pang Xinlian stopped again and turned to go to Old Madam Zhao's courtyard.

Soon, Madam Zhao entered the courtyard.

Seeing Pang Xinlian's sad and depressed look, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

"What's the matter? Did anyone bully you?"

Pang Xinlian lowered her head, shook her head, and said nothing.

"Why are you so sad at such a young age? The Marquis' Mansion has never treated you unfairly over the years, and I also regard you as my own granddaughter. You have the support of the Marquis' Mansion, so you should have the confidence of a noble lady."

Old Madam Zhao was truly helpless. She had no idea how many times she had said these words, from hints and suggestions at the beginning to her frankness and straightforwardness now.

But I don’t know if it’s due to his nature or his circumstances, but this child’s personality remains the same... He looks even more pessimistic than her, who is half buried in the ground.

Hearing this, Pang Xinlian raised her eyes and looked at Old Madam Zhao, her beautiful eyes filled with tears that were about to fall.

"Is what grandma said true?"

"Of course it's true!"

Pang Xinlian looked directly at Madam Zhao and said, "Xinlian has something to ask for, so please, Grandmother, make the decision for Xinlian."

Old Madam Zhao was a little surprised. After all, Pang Xinlian had been shy over the years and rarely was she so direct.

"Come and listen."

Pang Xinlian gritted her teeth and said, "Xinlian is attracted to the young master of the Gu family. I would like to ask my grandmother to be a matchmaker for Xinlian..."

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhao's brows immediately frowned.

She looked at Pang Xinlian's expression carefully, and seeing that she was not joking, she thought to herself that something was wrong.

Pang Xinlian had indeed tried several times before, but her attempts were not very obvious. She just thought that she was attracted to Gu Yunhe because he was good-looking, handsome and sunny.

Looking back now, it was clear that she had been harboring this thought for a long time.

But she has always been shy, so she didn't even notice it.

But...regardless of the fact that the Gu family was attracted to Xue Qing, just considering the two children, she would never dare to marry Pang Xinlian to the Gu family.

The Marquis' Mansion has been in decline over the years and has few good friends. The Gu family, with their noble character, is one of them.

If Pang Xinlian marries into the family with such a personality, it will probably cause resentment between the two families.

What's more, Yun He is a bright, outgoing, upright boy, and he is really not a match for Xin Lian...

When she thought of this, Madam Zhao felt very upset.

These people have completely different personalities, how can they possibly live together?

And to be honest, Pang Xinlian's personality would never be liked by men. She had been thinking about Xueqing's marriage some time ago and was also worried about Pang Xinlian's marriage.

After all, she also hoped that she could live a better life.

After much thought, she felt that marrying down would make her life happier.

She is so sensitive and resentful that she must have the final say in the family to feel comfortable.

Otherwise, if she married a rich man, she wouldn't care about other people's expressions...

When she thought of this, Old Madam Zhao became extremely worried.

Over the years, almost everyone in the Marquis's Mansion has been coaxing and surrounding her, and she is still like this, so one can imagine what the situation will be like when she gets married in the future.

"Grandma..."

Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, Pang Xinlian clenched her handkerchief, tears welling up in her eyes, obviously nervous and expectant.

Madam Zhao said in a deep voice, "Do you know that the palace is planning to arrange a marriage for your cousin Xueqing and Yunhe?"

Pang Xinlian was stunned for a moment and didn't answer. Tears suddenly burst out of her eyes and rolled down.

"I wondered why my grandmother never agreed to the matchmaking when I tried to do it several times before. It turns out that it's because she is biased and wants to leave brother Yun He to cousin Xue Qing."

Originally, seeing her crying, Old Madam Zhao felt a little distressed, but when these words came out, Old Madam Zhao immediately became so angry that her face turned ugly.

Good, good, this is really her good granddaughter!

She had loved her so much over the years, but in the end, she got something like this. Could it be that just because her surname wasn't Zhao, she couldn't feel his feelings at all?

"Grandma, can you please agree to my request this time? Xinlian doesn't want anything else. She only wants this one thing." Pang Xinlian shook Madam Zhao's arm.

Madam Zhao was silent for a long time. She had a lot to say, but in the end, she looked at Pang Xinlian and said, "Xinlian, you should be content."

Pang Xinlian was stunned for a moment, looking at Old Madam Zhao in disbelief, crying and laughing.
