Chapter 710 - 638: Raiding a Household_1
Because Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai had returned, Madam Li knew her younger son was thinking about Su Shiyu, so she took a few children for another visit to the Su Family, which resulted in staying a few more days in the provincial city.
On the day Daohua and her party went to the Su Family, Su Shiyu had also sent Dong Yuanyao a note, inviting her to gather at the Su Family, but to her surprise, Dong Yuanyao declined.
"I don’t know what’s gotten into Yuanyao lately, this has been several times now. Whenever I send her an invitation, she always turns it down," Su Shiyu said, pulling Daohua into her conversation.
Daohua frowned, "During this visit to the provincial city, I’ve noticed Yuanyao has changed somewhat. The old Yuanyao’s eyes always sparkled, and she wore smiles on her face, but this time I see a trace of sorrow between her brows."
Su Shiyu nodded, "Yuanyao has worries on her mind."
Daohua said, "She told me she doesn’t want to return to the capital."
Su Shiyu replied, "If I were in her place, I wouldn’t want to part with it either, after all, Yuanyao grew up in Zhongzhou."
Daohua was silent for a while, "I always feel that Yuanyao’s reluctance to return to the capital isn’t just because of her attachment. Perhaps... she’s frightened by Dong Brother’s marital arrangements and worries that upon returning, her family will force her into an unwanted marriage too."
At these words, Su Shiyu sighed, "Since ancient times, marriage has been the command of the parents and the word of the matchmaker, never allowing us to decide for ourselves."
The Su Family and the Dong Family interacted relatively often, and living in the same provincial city, they more or less heard some things about Dong Yuanxuan’s situation.
