THE HUMBLE FAMILY'S DAUGHTER HAS A SPATIAL POCKET!

Chapter 546: Chapter 501, The Considerations of Yan Siyu and Her Daughter (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

Yang Xiujun bit her lip and whispered, “Daughter understands.”

Seeing her daughter taking her words to heart, Yan Siyu showed relief, then solemnly said, “You must never again speak such careless words, especially now that we are in your uncle’s house, not our own. Your aunt may be good-natured, but if she were to learn that you are slandering Yiyi’s reputation, she wouldn’t look on you favorably.”

Yang Xiujun quickly admitted her mistake: “Daughter spoke out of turn.” As she spoke, she hurriedly changed the subject to the matter of setting off firecrackers earlier that day, “Mother, I’ve been paying close attention, and every chance he gets, Brother seems to be always around Sister Yiyi. Could it be that Brother is—”

Upon hearing this, Yan Siyu immediately furrowed her brows into a knot, “This child, why don’t you understand?”

Seeing her mother’s reaction, Yang Xiujun was taken aback, “Mother, do you dislike the idea of Brother and Sister Yiyi becoming close?”

Yan Siyu replied with irritation, “Your uncle and aunt from your father’s side will not look favorably upon our family.”

Yang Xiujun fell silent for a moment, “Both my uncle and father are Capital Officials, and my uncle’s official rank is no lower than my great uncle’s. Our family and the Yan Family are well-matched in social status.”

Yan Siyu sighed, “Even if your uncle holds a high official position, the Yan Family’s daughters will not marry into the Yang Family.”

Yang Xiujun, puzzled, asked, “Why?”

Yan Siyu’s face showed a bitter expression, “The Yan Family already has me suffering in the Yang Family; they would not want another girl to fall into the same predicament.”

Yang Xiujun stood stunned for a long while before replying, “Our family will eventually separate, won’t it?”

Yan Siyu waved her hand dismissively, “That’s not possible. First, the Yang Family doesn’t offer much help to the Yan Family; second, not to mention Yiyi, even the likes of Yihuan are all outstanding young ladies. The Yan Family’s daughters aren’t short of marriage prospects; why would they need to marry into our family? Thirdly, your brother has yet to achieve any scholarly or official recognition, and he really doesn’t have much to offer.”

Yang Xiujun frowned, “So, Brother is likely to be disappointed then.”

Yan Siyu remained silent for a while before saying, “It seems I need to find time to talk with Hongrui. I don’t want your great uncle and aunt to get angry at him in the end.”

She too could see that the way her brother and sister-in-law were raising Yiyi, they wouldn’t just marry her off to any family on a whim.

Although the Little Prince might be out of reach, there might be a chance with other prominent and noble families.

With that, Yan Siyu turned to Yang Xiujun, “Your brother doesn’t stand a chance, but you, on the other hand…”

Yang Xiujun’s face turned red, “Mother, what are you saying?”

Yan Siyu smiled, “Tell me, what do you think of Wenkai?”

Yang Xiujun bashfully said, “Cousin Wenkai is very nice.”

Yan Siyu smiled, “Mother also thinks he’s good. Wenkai may lack Wenxiu’s composure and reserve, but he has his own strengths; he’s forthright and direct, which makes him easy to get along with.”

After a pause, with her face still flushed, Yang Xiujun said, “Didn’t Mother just say that our great uncle and aunt don’t want to intermarry with our family?”

Yan Siyu smiled, “Marrying off a daughter and taking a daughter-in-law are different matters.”

“For marrying off a daughter, the groom’s family background is a main consideration. With the situation in our family, you know, any girl who marries in will be mistreated. Your great uncle and second uncle both dote on their daughters, and certainly wouldn’t agree to it.”

“But taking a daughter-in-law is different. In that case, what’s valued more is the quality of the girl herself.” Yan Siyu smiled as she stroked her daughter’s hair, “My Xiujun is graceful, demure, knowledgeable, and reasonable. You are more than a match for any family’s son.”

“Furthermore, you are the legitimate granddaughter of the old madam and the legitimate niece of your eldest uncle, which means you are much more closely related than an outsider.”

Yan Siyu laughed upon seeing her daughter’s embarrassment, “Once the new year begins, you’ll be fourteen, and it will be time to start thinking about your marriage prospects.”

The mention of marriage made Yang Xiujun feel even shyer. She thought of Yan Wenkai’s appearance with some yearning and also a bit of uncertainty, “Mother, would the great aunt agree?”

Yan Siyu said with a smile, “Why wouldn’t she? If you were to be proposed as a match for your eldest cousin Wenxiu, Mother wouldn’t be so sure, but Wenkai is the second legitimate son, and doesn’t require a spouse of too high a lineage.”

“When you went to help your great aunt with the New Year’s gifts, didn’t she praise you repeatedly? Clearly, she likes you. Mother knows your great aunt well; marrying you to them, Mother will be at ease.”

Seeing her daughter’s unease, Yan Siyu added, “If you’re really unsure, then spend more time with Wenkai. If Wenkai takes a liking to you, a mother will not go against her own son’s wishes.”

Yang Xiujun fell silent, longing for the harmony within the Yan Family, hoping that the family she would marry into could be likewise, “…I will get along well with cousin Wenkai.”

Yan Siyu smiled, “That’s the spirit.”
