Chapter 603 - 601 We Agreed
Ye Hongyang didn’t dare to repeat himself, but Duke An truly wished he had heard wrong.
If things were really as Ye Hongyang had said and had reached this point, then Ye Hongyang’s reason for agreeing to this marriage was definitely not because he was worried about Ye Xinyan’s reputation and her inability to marry off. Instead, he was aware of the attention Ye Xinyan and Ye Yuan were receiving within the mansion and wanted to disrupt that plan.
How could he do such a thing—sabotaging his own family and daughter? Could this really be his son? Duke An’s eyes, cold as ice, pierced through Ye Hongyang.
The Duchess was also anxious. She first signalled Nanny Qian with her eyes, asking Nanny Qian and the two Senior Maids to move closer to Ye Hongyang, and then asked, "Hongyang, tell us clearly, what exactly is going on? Is there something you’re hiding?"
Ye Hongyang took the opportunity to hide behind Nanny Qian, speaking with a sense of grievance, "I just thought the Qu Family was decent enough and at the very least had a title. When the Qu family boy inherits the title, Xinyan will be a lady of rank. Wasn’t I arranging a good marriage for her? Why is everyone reacting like this?"
The Duchess pointed at him annoyedly and said, "You...sigh, this is your child’s marriage we’re talking about, such an important matter. How could you make such a decision all by yourself without discussing it with the family?
Ye Hongyang then moved closer to the two guests he had invited, feeling somewhat safer, and continued, "The Heir of Marquis Jingning’s Mansion has brought over the marriage gifts today, and the day after tomorrow, they will receive the bride. The Qu family people will probably arrive any minute now."
Madam Yin’s head spun, she staggered, almost fainting.
