Chapter 621: Chapter 565, Trouble Arises_1

As Beijing simmered with undercurrents due to the conflicts on the Northern Frontier, Ningmen Prefecture was also far from quiet.

At the beginning of April, the wife of Governor Guo arrived at Ningmen Prefecture without a sound and, after getting the residence in order, she planned to host a banquet for the officials of Ningmen Prefecture on the twentieth of April.

“The wedding date has been set for next year.”

When Daohua arrived at Old Madam Yan’s quarters, she happened to overhear her mother discussing the marriage of her elder brother and the second daughter of the Han Family. Seeing the joyous faces of her grandmother and her mother, she couldn’t help but smile as well.

No matter what, having a new bride enter the family was always something to look forward to and be happy about.

Old Madam Yan, seeing Daohua, beckoned her to sit by her side with a big smile, holding her hand joyfully, “Next year you’ll have a sister-in-law, are you happy?”

Daohua said with a chuckle, “Grandmother, why should I be the one to be happy? It’s my elder brother who should be.”

Madam Li glared over with a smile, “What, you’re not happy for your elder brother?”

Daohua quickly replied, “Happy, of course I’m happy.”

Soon after, the Sun Family, Wu Family, and the other three girls in the family arrived.

As soon as Madam Sun arrived, she said, “Big sister-in-law, what did you call us here for? Is there another family hosting a banquet?”

Madam Li gave her a look, feeling somewhat weary.

Her sister-in-law set her sights too high, only considering girls from families of fifth or sixth-rank officials. However, those families had their own considerations. Although the Yan Family had not yet divided their household, Wenjie was still the nephew of the old master and would not be neglected.

But, in the eyes of most families, with three sons under the old master’s knee and considering that the Yan Family came from a scholar-farmer background with insufficient family foundation, resources at home would naturally favor their own sons, leaving little to help the nephews.

This was clear to all families. Marriage was about the alliance of two families. If other families saw no value in the second branch, without the need for benefits exchange, they naturally would not agree to marriage alliances.

Yet, for all these, the sister-in-law lacked self-awareness completely.

Madam Li sighed internally. Now that the second brother had returned, she hoped he would be more clear-headed. If he was like the sister-in-law, it would be a long wait for Wenjie to settle his marriage matters.

“There is a banquet, from Governor Guo’s household.”

As she spoke, she took an invitation from Ping Tong’s hands and handed it to the old lady.

Daohua leaned in to take a peek at it, expressing some surprise, “Governor Guo seldom hosts banquets, and even when he does, due to the lack of a mistress to manage the household, he only invites men. What makes this time different that he has sent out invitations to the ladies?”

Madam Li took a sip of her tea before speaking, “Governor Guo’s wife and daughter have come over.”

Daohua had already seen that on the invitation, her expression briefly stalling.

Madam Sun curiously asked, “Governor Guo has been in Zhongzhou for several years now, why is it that his wife only now comes over?”

Madam Li shook her head, “Who knows.”

Yan Yile suddenly interjected with a question, “Great Aunt, how old is that Governor Guo’s daughter?”

Madam Li paused, “She should be about the same age as the Little Prince.”

Yan Yile glanced at Daohua with a smile, “This Governor Guo’s wife bringing Governor Guo’s daughter to Zhongzhou, could it be they have the Little Prince in mind?”

Madam Li’s expression shifted as she thought that it was indeed a possibility.

Yan Yile continued to tease, “The Little Prince is so close to Governor Guo. I suppose this Miss Guo must hold a very special place in his heart.” Saying that, she cast another glance at Daohua.

“It must be said that the Little Prince is quite popular. Earlier, Miss Jiang arrived in Zhongzhou and immediately began to declare everywhere that she and the Little Prince were childhood sweethearts. Now, who knows if Miss Guo might spread similar rumors?”

Daohua looked at Yan Yile lightly, not saying a word.

Madam Li, however, looked at Yan Yile with some displeasure, “Yile, I do not wish to hear such words a second time. If you can’t abide by this, then in the future, don’t expect me to take you out visiting anymore, lest you bring trouble to our family.”

Yan Yile’s smile froze on her face, her lips pursed in defiance as she looked at the anxious Yan Yihuan tugging at her sleeve, and then she lowered her head without speaking.

Madam Sun quickly apologized with a smile, “Big sister-in-law, the child just has a quick tongue; she won’t speak carelessly outside.”

Madam Li’s disapproving gaze turned to Madam Sun, “Don’t keep making excuses for the child when she does something wrong. You’re not helping her this way; you’re harming her. In our own home, we can cover for her, but what about when she marries out?”

“The Jiang Family are relatives of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and the Guo Family comes from the Duke Residence. These two families, tell me, which of them can our family afford to provoke? Are the daughters of these families something to be gossiped about at will? And even bringing the Little Prince into it.”
