Chapter 526 - 274: Adding to the Dowry_1
Lady Fu visited once with her youngest son, Yi Gege, during this time. She came to guide Qian Yixiu in managing the household.
Lady Fu had a forthright and generous nature, which was the exact opposite of Pan Yang’s gentle and refined demeanor. However, this did not prevent the couple from getting along harmoniously. To this day, Pan Yang did not even have a concubine, which was quite rare in the noble circles of the Capital City.
Brother Jie was like Pan Yang, gentle and refined. Yi Gege was like Lady Fu, very forthright, and also very active. He became friends with Monkey Brother within moments and even cried when he left—not because he would miss anyone, but because he would miss the monkey.
Uncle Liang also visited once on his day off on the twentieth. Although he brought supplements for Qian Sangui, he did not disturb him. He only saw Qian Manjiang briefly before being sent away.
Before he left, he gazed deeply at the courtyard. It was now difficult to catch a glimpse of that graceful figure. In the future, he would have to visit when General Qian was on duty at the Palace, perhaps then he might have the chance to see her.
After leaving the Qian family, he did not return home but went to have fun with his good friends. His grandfather said that once the Qian family had settled down and Granduncle Qian’s health improved, they would finalize the marriage. He also hoped this would happen soon; the image of her was too vivid in his mind, and he was afraid someone else might take her away.
However, his mother was very displeased. Although she dared not openly defy the elders, she had secretly cried many times. He did not want to go home and listen to his mother’s nagging about how the Qian family girl was not good enough for him, that marrying their daughter would make them the laughingstock of others. She also said that Miss Qian was too young and that they should wait at least two more years until she reached marriageable age. He was already of such an age without an heir, and bringing in someone else to bear the children, it was so troublesome!
It was only after Uncle Liang had gone that Qian Yixiu learned of his visit. She too felt a sense of regret for not meeting him. She wasn’t looking for romance; she simply felt too stressed these days and wanted someone to talk to. Uncle Liang was a good friend of many years, and she found him easy to converse with.
However, the freedom she had enjoyed in the countryside was not comparable to her current situation; she had grown up. Even if Father Jiang would agree to her meeting Uncle Liang, Sister Zeng, who intended to mold her into a lady of high standing, would surely object.
