She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Madam Yin, although she hadn’t said as much to Jiang Yifan, equally did not inquire about her daughter’s wishes. She simply accepted Jiang Yifan’s request with delight after receiving his promise to treat her daughter well for life.

Overjoyed, Jiang Yifan also began to worry about the next step, how to face Ye Xinyan.

The Ye Family’s eldest daughter had never been someone to be swayed by others, and Ah Yan was even more self-reliant and capable of making her own decisions now. Her marriage, she might take the opinions of her elders into account, but if she were unwilling, no one’s agreement would force her.

Now, having received approval from the elders at the Duke’s Mansion, he had only passed the most basic barrier. The real key lay in Ah Yan’s own desires.

He could only hope that what Lian Gui had said would soften Ye Xinyan’s stance. Duke An was an old man with a shrewd understanding of the human heart; often, a reliable person’s words could be more persuasive. If those words of Lian Gui’s had come from him, Ye Xinyan might not have been opposed, but she likely wouldn’t have readily agreed.

As Jiang Yifan considered this, he respectfully said to Madam Yin, "Eldest Lady, this is after all Ah Yan’s lifelong matter; it isn’t right to exclude her. I would like to speak with her myself. I wonder if the Eldest Lady could arrange for Ah Yan and me to have a talk."

Madam Yin was of course pleased that Jiang Yifan placed such importance on her daughter. Having him persuade her daughter, expressing his sincerity and cherishment personally, she thought her daughter would surely be moved a little.

Madam Yin cheerfully replied, "Alright, Yuanfan, please wait a moment. I’ll have someone call Ah Yan over." Having said this, she ordered Cui Zhu to fetch the miss.
