If they were to let the matchmaker go over, they might be unwilling. Although they felt that the possibility of this happening was small) it was basically impossible. After all, Fufu was considered a daughter of an official. Even if Xue
Sanfu was favored by Duke Shao now, he was still just a small soldier. Xue Sanfu had climbed up the social ladder, so there was no reason for him to be unwilling.
They made it seem like Fufu didn’t belong to anyone.
They could not afford to lose their status.
It was better to do as their son said.
Thinking of this, Master Pei and Madam Pei smiled and said, “You’re Fufu’s elder brother, so you can make decisions. You’re so good to Fufu, so you should do as you see fit. We both trust you.”
After finishing a bowl of tea in the reception hall, Pei Dongyu came to his sister’s room. “Fufu?”
“Oh! You’re here!” Pei Fufu was embroidering something in her room. When she heard this, she quickly stood up.
Pei Dongyu knew that it was convenient, so he walked into his sister’s room and asked the maids to leave. “All of you, get out.”
“Yes.” The servant girls retreated to the outside of the room.
The windows and doors were still wide open.
He was his sister’s biological brother, not an outsider. Even if they were alone, there would not be any gossip. Pei Dongyu sat down in his sister’s room. “What’s the matter?” Pei Fufu was a little nervous, but she still obediently sat down on the other side of the coffee table.
Her brother rarely came to her room. Moreover, her brother had only returned from the Imperial Capital yesterday evening. He had a lot of things to do today, so he won’t have the time to go to her room and talk to her unless it was something important.
She wondered if she had done something wrong.
“I have something to ask.” Pei Dongyu smiled. “What are you nervous about? I don’t bite.”
“I… did I do something wrong?” Pei Fufu lowered her head.
“Who said you did something wrong?” Pei Dongyu laughed. “Why do you always like to think blindly? Fortunately, you know how to ask when you think blindly. Otherwise, who knows what you’re thinking? However, with your personality, if you get married, it’ll be worrisome. It’s fine if you’re like this at home, but what if you go to your in-laws’ house and they don’t like you like this?”
“B-but!” Pei Fufu blushed.
Pei Dongyu laughed. “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s get down to business.” As he spoke, he lowered his voice, “You’re not young anymore.
Father and Mother and I think that Xue Yan’s brother, Sanfu, is a good fit.
Although he’s gone to the military camp now, it’s not like he can’t go home.
Father and Mother and I want to betroth you to him. Are you willing to do so?
He didn’t notice that his sister’s head was already lowered to her knees. Pei Dongyu was still speaking slowly, “If you’re willing, I’ll secretly tell Xue Yan tomorrow and let him tell his brother and family. Of course, I won’t tell them if you’re willing or not. Your reputation is more important. If their family is unwilling, they won’t make a big fuss. But if their family is willing, they should come to propose marriage… Fufu?”
Finally, Pei Dongyu realized that his muddle-headed sister’s head was almost on her knees. He was stunned at first, but then he smiled again. “I understand.”
Knowing that Xue Yan was going to bring Jiang Yue to town for lunch tomorrow, Liu Guixia found Xue Yan and Jiang Yue’s best clothes and let them wear them tomorrow.
They even flipped through the clothes many times, afraid that if there were any patches on the clothes they might be laughed at by others.
She then gestured at the two children, afraid that they would not fit in with the crowd..
