Chapter 985: Being gossiped
Yan Funing asked: "Did no one come to propose marriage?"
Yan Bojian also asked: "Is it because she didn't look very good when she was young and no one liked her?"
The old woman said: "When someone comes to propose marriage to the lady, and the lady has not yet left the cabinet, whenever someone comes to make matchmaking for the lady, someone will also talk to the third lady. At first, the third lady agreed to meet the man, but as time went by, I don't know. Why, she doesn’t agree to meet with the man.”
"After my wife married into the Duke's Mansion, I came with my wife, and I seldom knew anything about the third lady."
"However, when my wife was pregnant with the young master, she couldn't eat or drink well. The third lady came to take care of her and stayed with her for a long time."
"At that time, the Yongding Marquis Mansion often sent rosters of men. Along with the rosters were portraits of men, just to let the third lady choose a husband."
"After my wife found out, she persuaded her several times, saying that women must marry."
"Miss Third always says that she will marry the right one if she meets the right one. If she doesn't find the right one, she won't marry." After a slight pause, the old woman continued, "She still won't let Madam interfere with her affairs. .”
"Don't let my sister take care of it? Can my sister endure it?" Yan Yingying raised her voice, "If it were me, I would definitely slap her twice."
Yan Funing looked at her with a slight smile.
Yan Yingying immediately laughed: "You are very good, my sister is reluctant to beat you."
The old woman said softly: "What the third young lady said at that time was naturally not a strong statement. What she said was that my wife was pregnant and it was not appropriate to worry too much about other things. Her matter was a small matter, but the child in my wife's belly was a big deal. He also said that this is the first child of the Duke of Guo, and he will have a noble status in the future, so that his wife will have a good life. "
Hong Qingyi nodded: "She seems to have no problem with her words."
"It's indeed no problem. I always consider my sister." Yan Yu also said, "But I'm afraid only she knows what her purpose is."
"Why are we going to all this trouble?" Long Xu said, "Just invite the old woman here and confront her face to face."
"What do you know?" Yan Bojian scolded, "We have to figure out her motives first."
Yan Honghou looked at the old woman and said softly: "Continue talking."
He also ordered his servants to give the old woman a round stool to sit on and talk.
The old woman was extremely grateful and said over and over again: "Thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much, sir!"
Mrs. Hong introduced with a smile: "This is the current Crown Prince."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The old woman thanked her again and said, "What I'm talking about is what happened back then, so I'll tell you what I called you back then."
Decades have passed, and people's identities have changed. If she were to talk about the current identities of her masters, she would be confused.
Yan Xuan said softly: "Just say it according to your status back then, and we can understand."
"Yes." The old woman sat down on the round stool and continued, "The Yongding Marquis saw that the third lady did not reply about the man he liked, so he sent someone to tell the madam to ask her to care about the younger sister's marriage." br>
"Madam naturally agreed. After all, this is a major event in my sister's life."
"What the Yongding Marquis Mansion means is to ask Madam Zhang Luo to invite famous men on the roster to the Duke's Mansion. Borrowing the name of the Duke, when the Duke meets with people, the wife will be accompanied by the third lady. This way of meeting Previous page.”
"The old slave felt strange. At that time, the old slave had doubts, thinking that the third lady would definitely not want to meet the man on the roster. But every time they wanted to meet, she always helped the madam go."
"My wife is pregnant, and sometimes I go late, but she comes to urge me."
"Is she also anxious about her marriage?" Long Xu asked. The old woman replied: "This old slave once thought so too. After all, every woman hopes to find her husband, but she doesn't expect that every time they meet, the third lady does not like each other."
Yan Funing guessed: "The person she wanted to see at that time was not the man who came to the Duke's Mansion, but another person who was also present. That was my grandfather."
Yan Xinghe nodded: "Yes, it's our grandfather she wants to see."
The old woman said: "At that time, the Duke was busy with military affairs, so he invited the third lady, who was close to his wife, to come over to accompany him, because he didn't have much free time. Whenever he had free time, he was arranged by his wife to meet with people."
< br>
"So my grandparents didn't have much time to see each other at that time?" Yan Bojian asked.
For example, when he was in the military camp, he would sometimes be unable to return home at night. I think it was probably the same for his grandfather back then.
The old woman thought for a while and said: "It's not too long to meet, because the Duke has military affairs and needs to go out. He doesn't go out often. Sometimes he comes back at night."
"When I came back at night, I naturally saw my wife, but Miss Third, who was a guest, naturally couldn't see her. So she used the excuse of a blind date to see her brother-in-law." Yan Yingying put it bluntly.
"That's probably true, but I don't dare to guess blindly." The old woman continued, "The third lady has been living in the Duke's Mansion, and she will still be living there when the child in Madam's belly is born."
"My wife once said that she should go back to the Marquis Mansion and let the elders in the family take charge of the marriage. The third sister said that she would take care of her sister and nephew."
"As a result, Madam feels vaguely in debt to her sister. She always feels that she has delayed her youth."

"Fortunately, the third lady was still young at that time. When the young master grew up, she had no reason to live in the Duke's Mansion anymore, so she returned to the Marquis' Mansion."
"After two years, she still has not made a marriage decision."
"At that time, the lady was pregnant again."
"This time, Madam would never dare to invite her to accompany her. Although Madam is unwell, she is even more unwell than when she was pregnant with the young master. Seeing this, the Duke of Guo asked to invite the third young lady to come over, but Madam also declined, saying that she would She is looking for a marriage at home.”
"I never thought Miss Third would come here on her own initiative."
"At that time, both the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis Mansion felt that the third young lady treated the eldest sister really well."
"The third young lady at that time was already nineteen years old, and there were very few women who had not yet decided to get married at the age of nineteen."
"The masters of the Hou Mansion have probably looked away. If you can't get married at the age of nineteen, it will be difficult to get married in the future. Instead of lowering your status to marry someone with a lower family status, the masters thought that it would be better not to marry her and just let her go. Gone.”
"She came to the Duke's Mansion and once again accompanied Madam to relieve her boredom."
"With her chatting and laughing with her, and taking care of the young master, my wife was very happy, and she gave birth to a daughter after the pregnancy was carried to full term."
"The third young lady always said that my wife is very lucky. Her husband is the Duke of the country, and she has given birth to a son and a daughter. No one can compete for her position in the future."
"Madam originally thought so too. She just thought that she had given birth to two children. Thanks to her younger sister, she would treat her younger sister well in the future."
"This sentence was said by the lady herself to the old slave."
"After that, the third young lady returned to the Hou Mansion. After all, she had lived in her brother-in-law's house for nearly a year and had already been gossiped about."
"For this reason, Madam has suffered a lot."
"What makes Madam even more angry is that the emperor at that time sent two beauties to the Duke."
