Chapter 565: Then Pinch Me
That evening, the Leng Family had a reunion feast in the dining hall, with Ye Yiheng and Ye Jiu also in attendance.
Halfway through the meal, Lai Taihong placed his wine cup on the table with a tone that was neither light nor heavy, "Jing’er, Xing’er, Sheng’er, you’re all not getting any younger; it’s time to start families of your own to be truly filial."
"Grandfather, you’ve already said this back in Beilan City," Lai Yuxing boldly stated.
"If you didn’t find suitable girls in Beilan City, now that you’re in the capital, you should look here," Lai Taihong said while signaling his son to pour him more wine, as he lectured his grandsons, "Just release the word, and plenty will come to visit. You should not waste the good reputation your sister has built for you, surpassing many in the capital with your literary and martial abilities."
He said without any hint of bragging that his children were indeed of the finest appearance and that it would be no trouble at all for them to find granddaughters-in-law—if only they were willing!
Lai Ran lifted the wine jug to fill his father’s cup, while his peripheral vision swept across his sons: "Just do as your grandfather says!"
The three Leng brothers shifted their reproachful gaze toward Li Yuyue; they hadn’t expected their elder brother, now with the Ninth Princess, to stiffen his back so much.
Looking at him now, he actually arched his brows and even occasionally served food to the Ninth Princess...
This act must be purely for their grandparents’ benefit, right?
Li Yuyue found himself in an unprecedented state of relaxation, now that the elders had finally shifted their marriage pressure away from him.
And so, naturally aligning with his grandfather and Father King’s words, he also chimed in, "That’s right, both grandfather and Father King want the best for you. Finding a good wife will make our family even more lively! You’re not young anymore; you shouldn’t let the elders worry too much."
The trio’s brows furrowed in unison; their eldest brother not only stopped helping them, but even began lecturing them.
