Time Travel: The Noble Family

Yueyao’s heart trembled: "My father has so little bloodline..." The struggles between the princes never cease to draw blood. Tingzheng getting involved could hardly be unscathed, Yueyao found it very difficult.

Xiang Wei said helplessly: "This isn’t hard, Tingzheng is already sixteen this year, and I remember the Young Miss of the Lin Family is also sixteen, seems she was born in February. Since Tingzheng isn’t taking the military examination, why don’t you have someone inform the Lin Family that you want the marriage set by the end of this year, or at the latest early next year." Getting married at seventeen isn’t considered early at all.

Yueyao thought this idea was quite good: "I’ll talk to Tingzheng, then ask my cousin-in-law to discuss the marriage with the Lin Family." When Tingzheng got engaged, Yueyao was pregnant, so during the engagement, she only made a brief appearance, and the details were handled by Zhuang Ruolan. Not disturbing two masters with one thing, Yueyao intended to ask Zhuang Ruolan again to discuss the wedding date with the Lin Family.

When Tingzheng heard that Yueyao wanted to set the wedding date for next year, he felt a bit troubled: "Sister, when we got engaged last year, the Lin Family wished for Younger Sister Lin to stay home a few more years. Isn’t it improper to propose marriage again now?"

Xiang Wei’s face instantly turned unpleasant upon hearing this.

Yueyao didn’t think much of it, simply said: "I plan to set the wedding date for early next year. Both you and Miss Lin will be seventeen by then, not considered young. The house is already prepared, once you’re married, I can be at ease."

Tingzheng was willing to marry Younger Sister Lin early: "Sister, during the engagement, it was agreed for us to wait until Younger Sister Lin turns eighteen to get married, suddenly changing that now doesn’t seem quite proper." Tingzheng was being cautious.

Before Yueyao could speak, Xiang Wei’s face had already darkened: "Are you saying the lady went back on her word? They say once men marry, they forget their mothers, yet you’ve forgotten all the kindness the lady showed you before even bringing your wife home."

Tingzheng’s face turned beet red: "Sister Xiang Wei, I didn’t."

Yueyao laughed and said: "Let’s see if this works. I’ll first have someone sound out the Lin Family. If they indeed want Miss Lin to stay until eighteen, we’ll set the wedding for the year after next. If they agree, you marry early, have someone to care for you, and I can be at ease too."

Tingzheng nodded in agreement, turning to Xiang Wei’s unsightly expression, feeling a bit uncomfortable: "Sister, I’m heading out."

Xiang Wei snorted coldly: "Such effort the lady put into planning for him, yet a woman bewitched him into forgetting everything."

Yueyao laughed: "You can’t put it like that. Tingzheng having such concerns is normal, liking someone makes you reluctant to see them wronged."

Xiang Wei mocked: "The lady is as magnanimous as a prime minister, while I have the pettiness of a chick." She used to think Tingzheng would treat her lady well, but look at him now, this brother wasn’t reliable either.

Yueyao truly didn’t mind: "Why think like that? Remember when Ning Lixuan wanted to marry Mu Qinglian, even though Lady of Duke Ning didn’t agree, what did he say?"

Xiang Wei’s lips curled into a smile: "So you compare Tingzheng to Ning Lixuan!"

Yueyao laughed and explained: "What I mean is that when a man likes a woman, he loses reason." Lady of Duke Ning is Ning Lixuan’s biological mother, but for a woman, he still defied his own mother.

Xiang Wei thought Yueyao didn’t choose a good example: "Miss, you might as well compare with An Zhichen. Back then, even Marquis Weiyuan disagreed with An Zhichen marrying you!"

Yueyao felt a pang of frustration, yet faced with Xiang Wei’s teasing face, she calmly said: "You’re right, using Heyue as a comparison is even more convincing." Actually, if An Zhichen hadn’t had those troubles and grown up in a regular family, his parents surely wouldn’t want him to marry such a wife. Because in many ways she didn’t fit the standards of a good wife.

Xiang Wei was instantly speechless.

Zhuang Ruolan, upon receiving Yueyao’s request, naturally wouldn’t refuse. After sending a note to the Lin Family, and upon receiving their reply, she went to the Lin Family the next day.

At late of the si hour, Yueyao heard that Zhuang Ruolan had returned. Yueyao found it odd, going to discuss a wedding date, even if not staying for lunch, shouldn’t return so soon. Seeing Zhuang Ruolan’s unpleasant expression, Yueyao hurriedly asked: "Cousin-in-law, what did the Lin Family say?"

Zhuang Ruolan recalled Lady Lin’s evasiveness, feeling very unsatisfied: "Yueyao, the Lin Family truly doesn’t regard people at all."

Yueyao was quite surprised, and immediately put on a solemn expression, asking: "Cousin-in-law, what happened?"

Zhuang Ruolan said: "I proposed setting the wedding date for early next year, the Lin Family didn’t agree. I then suggested late next year, the Lin Family still refused. Finally, I asked what the Lin Family wanted, and they said they wanted to keep their daughter a few more years." Loving their daughter and wanting to keep her a couple more years is understandable, but even for the love of their own, delaying marriage until twenty is unlikely. The Lin Family’s attitude made her very uncomfortable.
