Ye Heng immediately raised his voice and denied it: "You are my Ye Heng's niece, how can you be someone's concubine?!"
He slowed down his voice and said in a persuasive manner: "What the Han family means is that they will welcome you as a side room first, and then when you have a son and a half, they will make you the main wife."
There was a hint of helplessness on his face: "Originally I shouldn't have come to talk to you about these things, but your second aunt is in poor health recently, so it's not appropriate for her to worry too much, so I, the second uncle, can only come forward. "
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows, half-smiling but not smiling: "Then I have to thank my second uncle for taking such trouble for me."
"Chu Tang, I know you don't want to be a concubine, but when it comes to marriage, it's always important to be well-matched." Ye Heng sighed, "You have been very ambitious since you were a child. In the past, my second uncle would never have agreed to such a thing with the Han family. Proposal. But... eldest brother has been gone for three years, and things are different now."
If Ye Zheng was still here, with Ye Chutang's background and appearance, he would definitely be able to marry into a high family.
But she is now helpless, and she even dragged her three younger brothers and sisters into exile for three years. Which wealthy family would be willing to marry such a woman as their first wife?
"Han Tong and I have been friends for many years, and we know each other well. Han Yao is also considered to be charming and talented. He told me seriously today that he sincerely wants to marry you. As long as you are willing to marry him, he will listen to you in everything. From now on, the position of the head wife will definitely be reserved for you! It is really rare to be so sincere, Chutang, if you miss this opportunity, it will be too late to regret it in the future!"
Behind the scenes, Ye Chutang was able to marry Han Yao as his concubine only because he, his second uncle, helped save his face.
Ye Chutang said calmly: "I remember telling you before that I have no intention of getting married."
Ye Heng gradually lost his patience and frowned: "You kid, why don't you listen? Marriage has always been a matter of parents' order and matchmaker! Now that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are not here, it is my turn to be the second uncle. Let’s take care of it!”
Ye Chutang looked at him steadily: "It seems that the second uncle called me here not to discuss with me, but to inform."
Ye Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he half-turned around to avert her gaze: "You are still young, so it is normal for you to not be able to think clearly about many things. In the future, you will understand that my second uncle is doing all this for your own good!"
He waved his sleeves: "I have asked someone to find a master. I will go back and check your birthdays and horoscopes. Then choose a good day and make the marriage arrangements. Don't go out all the time during this period. Do it at home. Nühong, just settle down and wait for your marriage!"
His tone was decisive, as if he had already made up his mind.
After saying this, Ye Heng originally thought that Ye Chutang would object fiercely, but he didn't expect that she didn't say a word and was quiet for a long time.
Ye Heng felt strange in his heart and couldn't help turning his head to look at her, but saw that there was no trace of anger on that gentle and beautiful face.
There was a strong wind and rain outside, and the sky was gloomy.
Her eyes were calm: "I understand. If the second uncle has nothing else to explain, then I will go back first."
Ye Heng was surprised and felt very baffled.
She... didn't react at all?
I thought it would take a lot of talking...
But since she didn't bother too much, Ye Heng was happy and relaxed, his expression was much gentler, and he waved her away.
Ye Chutang turned around and left, and when he came to the door, he happened to meet Ye Shixian.
"Cousin." Ye Shixian said hello, and Ye Chutang tapped her chin lightly and walked past her.
The wind picked up the skirt of her skirt, and a few drops of muddy water splashed and wet the corners of her clothes.
She seemed unaware and left slowly.
Ye Shixian entered the room and saw Ye Hengzheng sitting there drinking tea with a relaxed expression, and then asked: "Dad, did she agree?"
Ye Heng disagreed and chuckled: "What can she do? She must listen to what I decide!"
Ye Shixian was a little surprised.
Somehow, those dark, clear yet extremely calm eyes suddenly appeared in her mind.
When Han Yao came to propose marriage, he knew that Ye Chutang would not be happy, but...
But what Dad said was right. No matter how capable Ye Chutang was, he still had to listen to his elders on matters such as marriage.
Marrying Han Yao will make her feel better in the future!
Bad things have happened in the past few days, and now there is finally some happy news. Ye Shixian sat down next to her, with a bit of curiosity and excitement on her face: "By the way, Dad, I heard that this polo match is more lively than ever. ?”
Ye Heng's smile deepened when he mentioned this.
"This year coincides with His Majesty's fifty-fifth birthday, so it will naturally be more grand."
Ye Shixian felt faintly excited.
Jinshang Chongwu especially likes to watch the excitement. Every year, the competition between the children of various families is fierce, hoping to excel in the polo match and win His Majesty's favor.
Although they could go there in the past, the location was very remote, but this year it was different. Dad got promoted, and they also benefited from it.
Maybe we can even see His Majesty, the Queen, and many royal nobles up close...
A clear and tall figure appeared in Ye Shixian's mind, and her cheeks felt slightly warm.
Prince Dingbei is in Beijing this year, so he should also go, right?
I don’t know...
"By the way, tell your mother later and ask her to take good care of her at home and not go to this polo match." Ye Heng suddenly said.
Ye Shixian was startled, thinking of the red, swollen and festering wounds on Mr. Gao's face, and nodded slightly.
"My daughter knows."
…
Ye Chutang walked out of the courtyard and saw Ye Jingyan waiting for her with an umbrella.
"A Feng has taken Xiao Wu back." Ye Jingyan stepped forward, most of the umbrella was tilted towards Ye Chutang, covering her from the rapidly falling rain.
He was now much taller than Ye Chutang and could easily hold an umbrella for her. Even though one shoulder got wet, he didn't even care.
Ye Chutang nodded: "Bake some more hot water later. You and Ah Feng have both been caught in the rain, so don't get cold."
Ye Jingyan responded, looked at her expression, and after walking some distance away, she asked in a low voice: "Sister, what does he want from you?"
Ye Chutang casually tucked a strand of hair blown by the wind behind her ear: "It's nothing, you just want to drive me away."
"What?" Ye Jingyan was shocked.
While talking, the two returned to the front of the house.
Ye Jingyan closed the umbrella and shook off the water droplets, her brows still furrowed: "What does he mean? This is our home, why should he drive sister away?"
Ye Chutang smiled and looked back at the yard.
"This rain is expected to last for a long time. I will wait until the rain stops and then clean it up. Since it is the place where my family lives, I naturally want to live more comfortably."
…
Just as Ye Chutang expected, the rain lasted for three days.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, the showers began to stop, and the sky was clear and clear.
Ye Chutang had a good night's sleep. He opened the window and took a deep breath. It seemed that he could still feel the slightest chill in the air after the rain.
Xiaowu opened his eyes in a daze and searched around, only to be surprised to find that his sister had rarely gotten up early.
Ye Chutang looked back when he heard the noise, his eyebrows arched.
"There is a polo match today. It should be very lively. Do you want to go and watch it?"
