Chapter 28 – The Wei Family’s Proposal (2/2)

She got up and amiably pulled on Ji Yunshu’s arm, gently smiling at her. “This child’s appearance is truly remarkable. I’ve often heard about you from your grandmother and father. As expected, slender and elegant, truly a match with our Yi’er.”

She turned around and swept the hall with a glance. She was baffled. “Yi’er was just there a moment ago. Where did he disappear to in such a short time?”

Lord Wei stated, “He must have run out just a moment ago.”

“That child. Today is his marriage proposal. Instead of looking at his soon-to-be bride he’s just running off to play?” Madame Wei was grumbling, but immediately “consoled” Ji Yunshu. “Yunshu, don’t mind him. Yi’er might be rude, but he has a good heart. You are surely kindhearted and an intelligent child. Don’t take offense to it. After you marry into our family, you need to be very tolerant and get along with him. You must not avoid our Yi’er.”

She hadn’t even passed through their doors yet. This kind of flattering was too unreal!

“Aunt Wei is teasing me. How can I, Yunshu, turn my back on Young Master Wei? A daughter’s wedding has always been the parent’s command. The matchmaker said that marrying into your home is my good fortune.” As she spoke, she raised her head and glanced at her father.

As expected, that ravenous wolf was extremely satisfied with her words! Madame Wei was also extremely satisfied. She nodded firmly, her eyes filled with love. Her foolish son will now soon have a wife!

Ji Shuhan stroked his beard and said to Lord Wei, “Lord Wei, you know that my daughters are my heart and flesh.”

‘I understand. If someday, you need help, you only need to tell me.” Lord Wei nodded.

“If you say so, then I’ll feel reassured. Then this marriage is settled. As for the money and the wedding gifts, we can take our time discussing it.”

Lord Wei smiled and momentarily showed a grand and imposing appearance. “My wife and I only have Yi’er as a son. For the monetary gift, our Wei family absolutely doesn’t lack any.”

Saying so, he took a load off Ji Shuhan’s mind.

There were only two reasons to marry a daughter: money and status!

Ji Yunshu stood obediently in the middle of the hall. She wasn’t talkative nor did she look around. Both families were in heated discussion over the preparations of her wedding, and her attention wandered until the Old Madame called her.

“Yunshu, it would be better if you go inside to find Young Master Wei and have a nice chat with him. As for your wedding, your father and I will arrange everything for you.”

Madame Wei also hastily said, “That’s a good idea. It’s better if you go find Yi’er. You two should meet first.”

It just so happened that Ji Yunshu didn’t want to stay either. She simply greeted them and obediently retreated. The sharp-eyed Ji Muqing curved her phoenix eyes and didn’t let Ji Yunshu leave her sight until she had left.

Ji Yunshu was finally released from the abyss of suffering. She took in a deep breath of the cold fresh air and patted the place on her sleeve that was pulled by Madame Wei.

‘My sleeve is all wrinkled!’ Madame Wei must be afraid that her daughter-in-law would run away!

She yawned. She was now beyond tired and had no intention of searching for Wei Yi. She’d rather go back to her courtyard.

She was prepared to go back and take a long nap. She still needed to go to the memorial hall this afternoon! Just when she passed through a long corridor near the backyard, she heard mocking voices.

“An idiot also knows how to write? This is truly an oddity in this world.”

That voice, wasn’t that the voice of her obstinate and troublesome third brother, Ji Yuanzhi?

“Third Brother, Third Brother! Who is this idiot? Why is he in our home?”

This time the voice belonged to Ji Lingzhi, Ji Yunshu’s eight-year-old fourth sister.

“He is the Wei family’s idiot. In the future, he will be Third Sister’s husband.”

“I don’t want that kind of idiot as my brother-in-law. I don’t wanna…”

Ji Linzhi’s sharp and shrill voice was absolutely ear-piercing.
