Chapter 920 - 788, Overestimating Oneself_2
Madam Li looked at her daughter, "Do you also think that Yile would be unwilling?"
Daohua replied, "Mother, you know Yile’s temperament all too well, she’s just like the second aunt; think about the kind of family the wives she chose for the second uncle came from?"
"She’s always been proud, and now that she clearly has better options, how could she fancy... the third cousin?"
Madam Li’s expression turned displeased, "Is your third cousin that bad?" with a huff she added, "If it weren’t for our support, what kind of good choices could she possibly have?"
After a silence, Madam Li continued, "Truthfully, I do not have high hopes for Yile; the girl lacks the sense of propriety and understanding of the big picture that Yihuan has. With the third cousin being gentle in nature and Yile being prideful and arrogant, he would hardly be able to hold sway over her."
Daohua nodded in agreement.
Madam Li pondered for a moment, "However, since your eldest uncle has already spoken, I still have to ask for the second branch’s opinion."
That same afternoon, Madam Li summoned Zhu Qiyun to the main courtyard.
Zhu Qiyun smiled and asked, "Great-aunt, did you summon me for something?"
Madam Li replied with a smile, "Nothing much, just wanted to have a chat with you." As she gestured for Zhu Qiyun to have some tea and took a sip from her own cup, she began to probe, "Yihuan’s marriage has been settled, but what are your thoughts on Yile and Wenjie?"
