"Mom, what did Aunt Su say?"

As soon as Mrs. Li and Daohua returned to the yard and sat down, Yan Wenkai hurried over to ask.

Mrs. Li glared at him: "How many times have I told you to be calm? Which girl would like you like this?"

Yan Wenkai quickly admitted his mistake: "Mom, my son realized that he was wrong, and he will correct it next time." After saying that, he stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Li diligently, "Mom, did you detect Aunt Su's tone?"

Daohua saw that Yan Wenkai had left him behind, and immediately said: "Fourth brother, where is my tea?"

Yan Wenkai: "I have something serious to do, but you can't do it yourself." Although he looked reluctant, he still poured a cup of tea for Daohua.

Daohua smiled and picked up the tea without interrupting, sitting silently and listening. She also wanted to know Mrs. Su's attitude.

Mrs. Li took a sip of tea and then spoke slowly: "Mrs. Su didn't say anything."

Yan Wenkai frowned: "Why is this?"

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at him: "On such a big matter as proposing a marriage, Mrs. Su is not allowed to discuss it with Mr. Su and the others, and she is not allowed to ask Shi Yu's opinion?"

Yan Wenkai said "Oh" and asked again: "When will there be news?"

Mrs. Li looked at Yan Wenkai and said, "Wenkai, don't have too much hope in this marriage. After all, the Su family's family status is there."

Yan Wenkai's heart tightened: "Mom, what do you mean? You said the Su family wouldn't agree?"

Mrs. Li nodded helplessly.

Even though she said that her son would not take concubines in the future, Mrs. Su was not too enthusiastic.

Yan Wenkai frowned: "But Mrs. Su and the others like me very much." Proposing marriage to the Su family was definitely a matter of course in his opinion.

Mrs. Li: "...It's one thing to like you, but it's another thing to marry Shiyu to you. Weddings and marriages in aristocratic families all take into account family interests. It's not you who is a good person.

, people must choose you."

Seeing her son's face full of disappointment, Mrs. Li added: "The poems are indeed good, but girls from other families may not be as good as her. Even if the Su family disagrees, my mother will choose another lady from a famous family for you."

Yan Wenkai lowered his head and stopped talking.

Just when Daohua was thinking about comforting him, Yan Wenkai suddenly stood up: "Mom, I have something else to do, so I'm going down first." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Mrs. Li and Daohua looked at each other.

Daohua looked at Mrs. Li, considered it for a moment, and said, "Fourth brother is upright, straightforward and straightforward. In fact, he is very popular with girls. Maybe Sister Su is willing to do it herself?"

She could tell that Su Shiyu liked her fourth brother.

Mrs. Li: "...it is the parents who make the final decision on marriage matters. Miss Su's opinion is only for reference and cannot play a decisive role." She said and sighed, "I didn't hold much hope for this marriage at first.

Hope, but in my heart I still hope it can come true, but unfortunately, the results are somewhat unsatisfactory."

Daohua frowned: "In that case, I'm afraid Fourth Brother will be disappointed."

Mrs. Li was silent for a moment: "Okay, let's leave it like this for now. I'll discuss it with your father after I get home."

......

After Yan Wenkai left Li's Mansion, he went straight to Jin Lingwei's stronghold in the provincial capital.

Xiao Yeyang, who was reading the secret letter, was surprised to see Yan Wenkai come back so quickly: "You specifically asked for a half-day leave, saying you had something to do, why are you back again?"

Yan Wenkai sat aside depressedly: "Today my mother and eldest sister went to Su's house."

Xiao Yeyang said ‘hmm’ and continued to look at the secret message in his hand.

Yan Wenkai: "...They are here to help me find out about the Su family. I want to marry Sister Su."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang raised his head and looked at Yan Wenkai steadily to confirm that he was not joking, then put down the letter in his hand: "Looking at you, the Su family doesn't agree?"

Yan Wenkai nodded: "The Su family looks down on my family, and I am the youngest son. Even if we promise not to take concubines in the future, the Su family will not agree."

Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows: "You promise not to take concubines?"

Yan Wenkai nodded: "The eldest sister said that this can increase the Su family's favorability towards me."

Xiao Yeyang's eyes flashed and he was silent for a moment: "This is what Daohua can think of, but if you don't take concubines, can you do it?"

Yan Wenkai: "Of course I can do it, and concubines are not a necessity. I know that anyone with a certain status has three wives and four concubines, but I don't like this at all."

"When I was a child, my father favored concubines. I saw my mother shed tears several times. At that time, I thought that my wife would never let her suffer such injustice in the future."

"Since I was a child, I have hated concubines that make the family uneasy, so my mother told me not to have concubines in the future, and I agreed without much thought."

He said and hummed.

"Unexpectedly, they thought I made an impulsive decision. The most disgusting thing is the eldest sister. She hates concubines even more than I do, and she doesn't know how to understand me."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's eyes flashed.

Yan Wenkai looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Yeyang, is there any way you can help me?"

Xiao Yeyang raised his eyes and looked at Yan Wenkai: "Let me help you?" As he said that, his expression moved and he smiled, "It's not impossible to help you."

Yan Wenkai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you really have a way?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "The idea Daohua thought of is actually quite good. However, if you don't take a concubine, it will only impress Mrs. Su, who is eager to love her daughter, but it will not impress Mrs. Su and Mr. Su. They value more.

It’s the family’s interest.”

Yan Wenkai nodded tiredly: "I know this too." His family background is a flaw.

Xiao Yeyang continued: "If I can help you win the beauty back..."

Yan Wenkai immediately took over the words: "As long as you don't rebel against the country, it is your duty to go up the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire."

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "That's what you said."

Yan Wenkai raised his chest and said, "I said so." However, seeing the twinkling light in Xiao Yeyang's eyes, he asked with some anxiety, "What are you going to ask me to do?"

Xiao Yeyang immediately rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Don't worry, I don't dare to do anything to you, otherwise, Daohua will still have to settle accounts with me?"

As he said that, he looked at Yan Wenkai and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of proposing marriage to the Su family? I haven't heard you mention it before?"

Yan Wenkai blurted out: "In order to prevent Sister Su's reputation from being tarnished, you won't have to talk about me taking Sister Su out to play." He didn't want Sister Su to become a talking point in others' mouths.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Yan Wenkai in surprise. He didn't expect this idiot to have such a considerate side.

Yan Wenkai continued with a smile: "After we are engaged, Sister Su and I are in a legal relationship. I can buy her delicious and fun things, and no one will stop me. How nice."

Xiao Yeyang was touched in his heart. Maybe others would think Yan Wenkai's decision was hasty, but he wouldn't, because this is what he has always wanted.

Yan Wenkai is so concerned about Miss Su's reputation, which shows that he really cares about her.

A look of envy appeared on Xiao Yeyang's face. Yan Wenkai could ask for help from his parents and relatives when asking to marry his sweetheart, but he couldn't.

His father had almost never taken care of him since he was a child. Even if he encountered trouble, he would never go to him. With Ma's mother and son here, they could destroy all his hopes in a minute.

His mother, Heli Chu, had no right to decide on his marriage.

He wants to marry Daohua openly and honestly, unless the emperor's uncle intervenes.
