Chapter 1496: Chapter 1499: This Girl Actually Has Taken a Fancy to Ye Wu_1
This evening, without her two sons playing around her, Yang Chuxia suddenly felt an air of loneliness in her room.
Although she still had the two little buns, they only knew how to eat and sleep, then sleep and eat.
Thinking of this, she called Mingcui to the inner chamber to talk. Mingcui was not young anymore and could be married off. Ming Liu was her sister, and she had married last year, and she and Fugui were living a good life. So, she asked Mingcui what kind of man she liked, which made Mingcui blush.
Sister-in-law Li had always wanted to match Mingcui with her own relative Li Wen and had inquired a few times in her presence, but Mingcui had no such intentions, so Sister-in-law Li gave up the idea.
Tonight, Yang Chuxia resolved to uncover the girl’s true feelings, no matter what.
But without digging, she wouldn’t have known, and upon digging, she was truly surprised—Mingcui actually fancied Ye Wu.
That hotheaded fellow, she actually fancied him.
Yang Chuxia thought about how the two hadn’t had much interaction, wondering how she had taken a liking to him. Yes, according to Mingcui, Ye Wu seemed to have some feelings for her too. Thinking about Mingcui’s temperament, which was actually quite fiery, they were somewhat similar to Ye Wu.
With this realization, things became easier to handle.
The following day, as soon as Yang Chuxia got up, Mingcui came to help her with her dressing.
Yang Chuxia glanced at her and said, "When we return to Shandong, we can have Ye Wu come over to propose. We should settle your affairs early, so your mother can hold her grandchildren sooner."
"Mistress, why are you teasing me so early in the morning? I don’t wish to marry that soon."
"How is this teasing? I’m discussing a serious matter with you," Yang Chuxia spoke in the tone of someone experienced, "Girls, when they reach a certain age, should marry. Otherwise, their parents will worry. Moreover, don’t you think getting married and having two soft, cuddly children is a very happy thing? The children are so lovable and adorable."
Furthermore, unlike the modern era where being a single noble is fashionable, and no one comments if you’re not married by twenty-eight or twenty-nine, here, if you remain unmarried, people will think there is something wrong with you.
"Mhm, then I will listen to the master." Mingcui thought about Yangyang and Lele in her mind. The little masters were indeed very cute, and having two children of her own must be quite nice. Besides, both she and Ye Wu were not bad-looking, so their children should turn out well too.
"That’s right."
Yang Chuxia saw her cheeks were flushed and after saying that, she didn’t tease her any further.
"Mistress, people from the Mu Residence are here," Procuress Shen came while Yang Chuxia and Mingcui had just reached the dining hall. "They say they are here by the Commandery Princess’ command to invite Mistress over as a guest."
"People from the Mu Residence?" Yang Chuxia smiled. Dongyang was too impatient, coming over so early in the morning. "Well then, ask them to sit in the parlor for a while and have some water first."
Having said that, Yang Chuxia then spoke to Mingcui, "Take some of those dried flower petals we brought to make tea for Procuress Shen. Drinking tea this early in the morning is bad for the stomach."
"Yes, Mistress."
Mingcui bowed and went to do as told.
After lunch, Yang Chuxia made herself presentable and got into the Mu Family’s carriage that had come for her.
The Mu Family was a famous noble family in the Capital City, located within the inner city, and on the same street as the residences of some royal relatives and nobles. Yang Chuxia glanced around; across the street was the residence of the Second Prince, and the neighboring two homes also belonged to the imperial family, which showed the high status of the Mu Family in Capital City.
As the carriage entered the Mu Residence, a sedan chair came directly to take her to the harem.
