Chapter 282
"The Prince said you were the legitimate daughter of a military family, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and of impeccable character. But I never expected that Xiao Ling'er would be so different." Yun Xiao sneered, "You so-called ladies of noble families in the capital are nothing more than this!"
Xiao Ling'er blushed with embarrassment, having never felt so ashamed before. She immediately flew into a rage, "Yun Xiaohan! Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
After saying that, she punched the man.
But Yun Xiaohan quickly dodged.
She was surprised.
Unexpectedly, Yun Xiaohan's martial arts skills surpassed hers.
Yun Xiaohan casually showed off his skills, and he grabbed her by the neck, rendering her unable to move. "Remember, behave yourself. Don't try anything funny with me again."
"In the Yun family, Yue'er is the one who calls the shots."
He didn't use any force, yet it was enough to send chills down Xiao Ling'er's spine.
Xiao Ling'er collapsed to the ground, only to see the man's brocade robe flutter and disappear through the door.
The next day, Mo Yunxuan had several more bodyguards.
She was being monitored.
Xiao Ling'er was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't just run back crying and complaining like those other women.
"Miss, the First Madam and the Second Madam have arrived together."
Xiao Ling'er asked in surprise, "So there's a result?"
Yun Xiaohan dared to treat her like this.
She insisted that Yun Xiyue marry her second brother.
"I don't know. The Yun family requires the second young master to marry into the family."
"The second wife will definitely not agree."
However, after discussing it, the Xiao family came up with this explanation.
“Mother-in-law, what do you think of this arrangement? The children from both families will get married first, and Yue’er will marry into the Xiao family and have the wedding ceremony at the Xiao family’s home. There’s no need to move the dowry into the Xiao family’s home.”
"When Yue'er gives birth to an heir, we will have two children. One will go to the Xiao family, and the other to the Yun family. Then An'er will marry into the Yun family."
Because the second branch of the Xiao family only has one son, and they will separate their households in the future, the second branch will also need an heir.
This is arguably the best option.
Madam Yun looked at Yunnan Sheng.
“This suggestion is good, but I still maintain that as long as my daughter is willing, we will not object,” Yunnan Sheng said.
Madam Xiao said, "Then tell Yue'er?"
"We'll discuss it at home first, and then we'll let you know when we have an answer," said Madam Yun.
However, the two ladies of the Xiao family were hurriedly invited back as soon as they left the Yun family.
Before long, the Xiao family sent someone to say that the marriage was off, as if it had never been mentioned.
Yunnan Shengqi was speechless. "What does the Xiao family mean by this?"
"Don't be angry. Since the Xiao family doesn't agree, then let's just forget about it."
“I think the Xiao family just doesn’t agree to their son marrying into the family. They only have one son, so it’s normal that they’re reluctant to let him go. The Xiao family is a prominent family in the capital, and they would never allow their son to marry into our Yun family.”
If this gets out, the Xiao family will lose all face.
Yunnan Shengdao said, "If you disagreed in the first place, then don't bring it up. You were talking so nicely, and now you're saying it was never mentioned? What kind of attitude is that! Does that mean my daughter isn't good enough for you?"
Madam Yun sighed, "We are merchants, and in other people's eyes we are inferior. There's nothing we can do about it."
Besides, my daughter has been divorced.
They were looked down upon even more.
The couple were worried about this.
"How about we select someone from Yunzhou? Or train a suitable person?"
Madam Yun said, "If we're talking about the most suitable one, it's only Han'er. It's a pity that Yue'er and Han'er only have brotherly and sisterly feelings for each other."
Yunnan Sheng nodded, "Yes! Han'er is a good child. We've watched him grow up since he was little, so we really know him inside and out. He's also sincere towards Yue'er, so we don't have to worry about him bullying her. Even if he inherits the Yun family, I don't think there will be any problem. If he marries Yue'er, we can go back to Yunzhou to retire in peace."
......
"Princess Qin returned to the Xiao family, and the Xiao family sent someone to say that the matter was dropped. The young mistress has now returned to her parents' home."
Yun Xiyue sighed, her worries growing. She feared that Xiao Rongrong would tell the Xiao family about her affair with the Emperor.
That will be even more troublesome.
"Is Miss worried that Princess Qin might let something slip?" Bei Ye asked.
"Ah."
"My affair with the Emperor... must not be known to anyone."
Bei Ye thought of the night Yun Xiyue got off the emperor's carriage.
His expression changed slightly, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He didn't understand why he felt this way, but he quickly returned to normal.
