Chapter 541: Chapter 542, Caring Leads to Chaos
Mrs. Han thought of this and suddenly asked Bai Que, "Bai Que, what do you think of the Third Young Master Dai?"
Though in matters of marriage, one is to follow the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, she couldn’t comply.
She had to ask for Jinnian’s opinion.
Bai Que thought carefully, "The Third Young Master, I have only seen him a few times, and haven’t spoken to him. He seems refined and gentle, and looks to be decent!"
But as for the actual situation, Bai Que felt that one still needed to inquire carefully.
"He does look quite good indeed, mainly because the Marchioness mentioned him a few times today with some intention, I can’t help but think about it!" Mrs. Han said, her gaze somewhat drifting.
In the blink of an eye, her daughter was already thirteen.
A young lady now.
But in her memory, she was still that four or five-year-old girl.
Mrs. Han took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"My lady, we should still ask for the young miss’s opinion on this matter!" Bai Que advised.
Originally, there wasn’t much affection between mother and daughter, and if things were pushed too far, it could easily hurt both parties.
"Hmm, there’s no hurry for now!"
She’s only fourteen now, and it will be another two years before she comes of age. There’s no issue discussing marriage after reaching adulthood.
Of course, if Third Young Master Dai really is a good match, they could also set the engagement now and hold the wedding after Jinnian comes of age.
They could even marry first and wait until she comes of age for the nuptial chamber.
Mrs. Han still did not approve of breaking one’s body too early or conceiving children at a young age.
It was too damaging to one’s health.
Feng Wushuang returned home and locked herself in the study.
She took out a scroll from a large vase, unrolled it, and hung it up on a rack. The woman in the painting stood delicately, dressed in pink, with a fine face, a faint smile, and clear, cold eyes devoid of emotion.
Feng Wushuang reached out and gently touched her face.
"How I wish I could wipe away that severe coldness from you and paint a touch of warmth, making your smile truer and more profound!"
As she spoke, Feng Wushuang’s heart was filled with bitterness.
She had thought she would meet her today, but unexpectedly, she didn’t even see her at all.
"Fourth Miss, would you give me a chance?"
Love is unknowable in its beginning and deep in its continuity.
But the lady in the painting still smiled faintly and shallowly, never responding...
Chu Yu’s return brought some activity to the once quiet Capital City; those with hidden thoughts became more active as well.
Mrs. Han returned to Yun Residence and went straight to Niannian Garden. After learning that Yun Jinnian had gone to bed, she asked Mrs. Yuan some questions and then went back to Qingjue Academy.
Qingjue, to cut off affections.
Perhaps this was for the best!
When the Emperor learned that Yun Jinnian hadn’t entered the palace because she had gone to Auspicious Water, he remained silent for a moment and did not blame her.
It’s important to pay extra attention to matters of continuing the family lineage in a woman’s role.
Yun Jinnian missed the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at Yun Residence, which Mrs. Han attended. The residence also sent over some plain mooncakes, but Yun Jinnian didn’t eat any and let Mrs. Yuan hand them out. Mrs. Yuan then ordered Hemei to discreetly take them out of the residence and distribute them to the little beggars.
Along with some steamed buns.
Mrs. Yuan herself did not like eating things from Yun Residence and was already thinking about moving out with Yun Jinnian as soon as possible.
Yun Jinnian’s visit to Auspicious Water, originally a trivial matter, unexpectedly led to the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, the Princess Residence, Duan Residence, and Chen Residence all sending over a considerable amount of medicinal herbs.
Mrs. He felt distressed looking at them, but her face did not show it.
She also sent some medicinal herbs to Niannian Garden as a gesture, through Tianmi.
"Nanny, please thank my aunt for me!" Yun Jinnian didn’t see Tianmi, just spoke faintly and went back to sleep.
Mrs. Yuan acknowledged and saw Tianmi out of Niannian Garden.
The first menstrual cycle usually cleared up in four or five days, but it had been seven days and Yun Jinnian still wasn’t clean.
This frightened her nanny terribly.
