Yan Residence.
After returning from the docks, Yan Wentao was pulled back to the third branch by Yan Zhiyuan and Wu Family.
Daohua, feeling uneasy, quietly followed them. However, before she reached the courtyard of the third branch, she was stopped by Yan Wenkai, “Fourth Brother, aren’t you going to take a look?”
Yan Wenkai: “Look at what? Uncle and Aunt have clearly decided to discipline him behind closed doors. If we go there, wouldn’t we make it difficult for Uncle and Aunt and embarrass Third Brother?”
Daohua nodded, gave up and turned back with Yan Wenkai.
On the way, Daohua couldn’t help asking, “Second Brother, how did you manage to get the Su Family to agree to marry Sister Su to you?”
Yan Wenkai immediately recounted how Xiao Yeyang took him and Yan Wentao to the Su Family.
Daohua frowned, “Then why Third Brother…”
Yan Wenkai knew what Daohua was about to say, “The Zhou Family and the Su Family’s situation are different. The legitimate line of the Su Family was dragged down by the collateral branches and got involved in the camp of Prince Eight. They could use someone like me from the Jinling Guard.”
“But the Zhou Family doesn’t have such troubles. Besides, Yeyang told me that Old Master Zhou doesn’t seem to like the Jinling Guard very much, so Third Brother’s rank as a centurion in the Jinling Guard doesn’t really help at all.”
Upon hearing this, Daohua sighed, “I see Third Brother is very heartbroken.”
Yan Wenkai: “Of course, when the Su Family didn’t agree to marry Shiyu to me, I was also very sad.”
Daohua gave him a glance, “I didn’t notice.”
Yan Wenkai puffed out his chest, “That’s because I’m a real man who keeps all the pain inside. A little girl like you would never be able to tell.”
Daohua huffed, “Third Brother is even more reserved than you, better at hiding things than you. He can no longer hide the pain in his heart, which shows how deeply he is hurt.”
Yan Wenkai, irritated, scratched his head, “What should we do then? I’ve asked Yeyang, and he said there’s nothing he can do.”
Daohua fell silent; the gap in family status was not something that could be bridged in a short time. Regarding this, she felt utterly powerless.
That evening, Yan Zhiqiang, who had never argued with Yan Zhigao before, came to the front yard study, waiting until Old Master Zhou went back to the guest court for rest. Only then did he enter the study to see Yan Zhigao.
“Big Brother, I know I shouldn’t speak out, but… I’m useless. Seeing how sad Wentao is, I want to ask you to help him, to talk to Old Master Zhou.”

Yan Zhigao sighed and patted his younger brother’s shoulder, “Even if you didn’t say anything, I would still try to fight for Wentao.” Saying this, he signaled Yan Zhiqiang to take a seat.
“As soon as I came back today, I mentioned it to Brother Zhou, but he also refused. He said, the reason why Old Master Zhou’s granddaughter came to the capital was to see a possible match for her.”
“Do you know which family Old Master Zhou is considering for his granddaughter?”
“The Minister of Works’ legitimate youngest son.”
“Hearing that, I knew Wentao had no chance. Our family’s status is too far apart from that of the Minister of Works’ family.”
The light in Yan Zhiqiang’s eyes dimmed, and he hung his head in silence.
Yan Zhigao patted his shoulder, “A man will not suffer from a lack of a wife. Miss Zhou is good, but there are many good girls in the world. Go back and talk to the kid properly, don’t fixate on this. Don’t worry, your sister-in-law will definitely find a good match for Wentao. With what a spirited young man our Wentao is, will he have to worry about finding a wife?”
Watching his disappointed younger brother leave, Yan Zhigao went back to the main courtyard. Upon seeing Madam Li, he said, “You should pay more attention to the children’s marital affairs. Wenxiu is already settled, and now it’s time to find matches for Wenjie and Wentao.”
Madam Li nodded, “Even if you didn’t mention it, I remember it well. It’s just that I’ve been rather busy recently. When things calm down in a couple of days, I’ll discuss Wenjie’s marriage with my second brother’s wife and see what kind of daughter-in-law she wants to find.”
Seeing that Madam Li had plans in mind, Yan Zhigao didn’t say more. After a moment of silence, he added, “It’s also time to start considering the girls’ marriages.”
Madam Li: “The girls’ marriages are not urgent. If the in-laws are not well chosen, our daughters could be aggrieved for a lifetime, just like little sister.”
Yan Zhigao nodded in agreement, “Let’s start paying more attention in advance.”
The next morning, after having breakfast at Granny Yan’s place, Yan Wenkai, on his way out, called Daohua aside and handed her a note.
Daohua received it with surprise, “What’s this?”
Yan Wenkai whispered, “It’s from Yeyang.”
Upon hearing this, Daohua’s heart skipped a beat. As she looked at the neatly folded note, she thought, could this be a love letter from Xiao Yeyang to herself?
