However, she was quite restless, wandering around the courtyard and peeking out the window.
"What are you looking at?" Wang Yunlian asked when she saw her like that.
"Nothing much." Qian Xiaoqing pouted when she heard that. Last time she went to her aunt’s house, she got scolded badly, so now she wouldn’t say she was wondering why she hadn’t seen that little cripple.
Though she didn’t say it, Yang Chuxia had some guesses in her heart and therefore looked down on Qian Xiaoqing a little. Last time she thought this child must have been spoiled, but now it seemed her upbringing was not so good.
She had been living with her aunt all this time, and Yang Chuxia didn’t believe that Qian Xiaoqing could not know her own status. Even if she didn’t know it for a while, there must have been some hints leaked to her over the years, right?
Knowing that she was already betrothed, she still came here to despise Brother An’s leg, while also acting as if she were trying to seduce someone. Who was she trying to impress?
Because of the incident with Old Lady Hua, Yang Chuxia was particularly disgusted with such fickle-minded people and also looked down on her second aunt a bit. She had never seen a mother who would harm her own son like that, but Yang Chuxia did not yet know that her second aunt was also preparing to harm her at the moment – although it could be considered a "good" harm this time.
Yang Chuxia also had a conversation with her cousin and found him to be a very decent person. Although he was a bit boisterous, he had a kind heart.
She didn’t know what he saw in this little enchantress.
While the cousins were talking in Yang Chuxia’s room, the front room was also having a chat, but the topic was far from casual.
It concerned Yang Chuxia’s marriage.
The matter started with Yang Chuxia’s second aunt, Ms. Qian of Wang Family, when she went back home. The more she thought about the quarrel between Qian Xiaoqing and Yang Chuxia, the more it felt wrong. This niece of hers seemed to be too protective of that "Brother An".
It looked like they had some kind of relationship, and Ms. Qian of Wang Family seriously questioned Qian Xiaoqing about it. With Qian Xiaoqing’s exaggerations added, Ms. Qian of Wang Family became convinced that Yang Chuxia had taken a fancy to that "Brother An". Although what she believed was true.
However, thinking about this matter made her very uncomfortable.
Because looking at her niece, who was so bright and capable, how could she be matched with a cripple? So, Ms. Qian of Wang Family began to take action, looking for suitable children of the same age in her own circle.
She wanted to find a good match for her niece.
Actually, her mother-in-law, Ms. Liu of Wang Family, and her husband Wang Yongshan knew about this matter, and neither of them stopped her, as they felt their daughter-in-law was doing something right for Yang Chuxia’s sake and deep down they didn’t have a high opinion of Ye Zi’an either.
So, when Ms. Qian of Wang Family had chosen someone for Yang Chuxia and was ready to send her some New Year’s gifts, Wang Yongshan was urged to come over.
That’s why Wang Yongshan was currently discussing this matter with Ms. Wang and Yang Dachuan.
Mrs. Wang was speechless, her second sister-in-law’s intentions had truly gone a bit too far.
Without even thinking, Yang Dachuan shook his head, "Second Brother, you will have to go back and tell your wife about this. On behalf of Xiaxia, I thank her for her kind intentions. However, I have already promised her to Brother An. Although the marriage arrangement hasn’t been formalized yet, I cannot go back on my word. Furthermore, these two children have been getting along very well in their daily lives, so as a father, I have no reason to separate them."
"That’s right, Second Brother. Don’t mention this again. If Xiaxia hears about it, she might get upset with you," Ms. Wang followed up immediately.
