Chapter 994 - 996: Became friends_1
Why would Tayun Dongyang be writing her a letter?
And how would she know what Mu Shaoling likes or dislikes? It’s not as if he’s her Brother An.
Fuck, if you’re chasing after Mu Shaoling, just go for it, why tell her about it?
Yang Chuxia was completely baffled, not understanding the situation at all.
Two days later when she received another letter from the Capital City, opened it, and saw it was from Mu Shaofeng, she finally understood what was going on.
Turns out the Commandery Princess Dongyang thought herself to be the apple of Mu Shaoling’s eye, hence her letter had a hint of provocation, a warning, and a genuine inquiry into Mu Shaoling’s preferences.
As for how she knew of Yang Chuxia’s existence, Mu Shaofeng’s letter provided an explanation—the Commandery Princess Dongyang had pumped him for information. But Yang Chuxia could tell that Mu Shaofeng must have leaked information on purpose.
Therefore, the clever Yang Chuxia sent her a lengthy reply.
Everything about what her Brother An likes to eat, what his favorite color is, what kinds of books he enjoys, what tea he prefers while reading: three whole pages of pure fabrications, of course.
The subsequent three pages were filled with how cute her Lele was today, whose clothes Yangyang wet today, and how her two little buns missed their father—these three pages were all genuine information.
Six large sheets of paper, not a single mention of Mu Shaoling, leading the Commandery Princess Dongyang to almost think she had received the wrong letter.
She read the letter back and forth two or three times before finally grasping Yang Chuxia’s implication: she and Mu Shaoling weren’t close, she didn’t know his likes and dislikes, she had children already, she and her husband were deeply in love—so why should the pursuit of Mu Shaoling involve her, what the heck did it have to do with her?
Some time later, the second letter from Commandery Princess Dongyang arrived. This one was much easier on the eyes than the last, the wording much softer, and even included gifts for her two little buns. Yang Chuxia wrote back, and just like that, through back and forth correspondence, they became friends unexpectedly.
"Xiaxia? Xiaxia?"
Seeing Ms.Wang approaching, Yang Chuxia put down the letter from Commandery Princess Dongyang.
"Mother!"
"Where are Lele and Yangyang?" Ms.Wang asked, not having seen the two grandchildren downstairs.
"They just ate and have been lulled to sleep." It was habitual for the two buns to need a nap after their midday meal.
After waking up in the afternoon, they would eat again and then demand her to read to them. If she didn’t, they would cry.
"Right, I’m here to tell you something—your grandmother sent word that your second uncle’s daughter is getting married next month. They want us to attend the banquet."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia was quite surprised, "My second cousin hasn’t been married off until now?"
Since last year’s incident with Ms.Qian of the Wang Family, the two families hadn’t had much contact. Even when Brother An was placed second in the examinations, no one from their side had come over.
"Weren’t they caught up in the draft at the time?" Ms.Wang sighed when she mentioned her niece.
"No way, she wasn’t successful in the draft and my second aunt didn’t find her a husband since then?" It had been more than a year since last summer’s draft.
Ms.Wang sighed, "Sigh, how could they not look? But where could they find someone so suitable? Just like that, it’s been dragged out until now. Are you going?"
Yang Chuxia shook her head, "I won’t go. Last year my second aunt caused a scene with me, this year Brother An became the second-place scholar, and for Lele and Yangyang’s first month, nobody from their side came. If I eagerly go now, it would be like I’m foolishly throwing myself at them."
