Chapter 782: Chapter 699, Reactions of Various Families (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

Prince Residence looked at Xiao Yechen, stayed silent for a moment, and said, "That damned temperament of his has been the same since he was little. When he was smaller and couldn’t beat you, he’d still pick a fight with you, not to mention now that he has grown a bit more capable. You know how he is—stay away from him in the future."

Madam Ma was taken aback, her crying ceased, evidently not expecting that Prince Residence, who would normally fly into a rage at the mere mention of Xiao Yeyang, would say such things.

Xiao Yechen struggled to sit up and said with downcast eyes, "Father, I understand. I will try to avoid Second Brother in the future. The conflict today arose because I couldn’t bear it when Second Brother took the initiative to speak of the adoption matter so unfilially."

Prince Residence’s expression eased a lot, and he patted Xiao Yechen’s shoulder, smiling, "Father knows you are good. If that damned one had half your sensibility, Father wouldn’t have to worry so much. Alright, take good care of yourself."

Seeing that Prince Residence didn’t mention a word about punishing Xiao Yeyang and walked away, both Xiao Yechen and Madam Ma frowned unconsciously.

Xiao Yechen lay back down in bed, "Father... after all, still cares about Xiao Yeyang."

Madam Ma’s face lost its softness, and she said indifferently, "After all, they are father and son connected by blood, which is thicker than water. But even so, there’s only so much caring to go around. Once that little bit of affection is used up, it’s gone. Today, Father was just stunned by Xiao Yeyang’s remarks. Once this passes, aside from making Father feel ashamed, nothing will change."

Xiao Yechen remained silent, his mind replaying his recent encounter with Xiao Yeyang over and over again.

He hadn’t expected that, years after their last meeting, he would lose so miserably.

Xiao Yeyang really had changed; those mocking and sharp eyes were like a sword thrust deeply into his heart, one he couldn’t pull out no matter how hard he tried.

...

Duke Residence.

Each time Duke thought of his grandson he had seen today, a smile never left his face, "Previously when the eldest wrote to tell me how excellent Yeyang had become, I didn’t believe it. But now that I’ve seen him, I think the eldest was too modest."

The Guo Family exchanged words for a while, then dispersed.

Once everyone had left, Madam raised a question, "Father, about your earlier suggestion regarding Yeyang and Xueming’s matter..."

Duke fell silent for a moment, "Naturally, I hope our families could become even closer through marriage, but I’m afraid it won’t be so easy."

Madam frowned, "Even if you step in personally, it won’t work?"

Duke glanced at Madam, "Are you not aware of our family’s relationship with Prince Residence? This matter can’t be rushed. I’ll first see what Yeyang thinks."

Madam said urgently, "Since ancient times, marriage has been decreed by parents and the matchmaker’s word. Yeyang is still young; what does he know?"

Duke was silent for a while, "I reckon that lad Yeyang has his own opinions. This matter concerns his lifelong happiness; it’s only natural to ask his opinion." Seeing that Madam wanted to say more, he waved his hand, "Enough, I know what I’m doing. You may go."

Madam left, not very willing, and upon exiting the courtyard saw Guo Xueming waiting outside.

Guo Xueming looked somewhat uncomfortable; she was aware that her mother had stayed behind to inquire about the marriage between her and Brother Yeyang.

She was no longer young, and if a marital agreement were not settled soon, securing a match would become even more difficult in the future.

Madam patted her daughter’s hand, "Your grandfather said he would talk to Yeyang personally."

Guo Xueming’s expression relaxed, but then she looked worried again, "Mother, the Yan Family has also come to the capital, and Yan Yiyi has become the Countess of Shengping."

At this, Madam also felt a bit vexed, "I truly underestimated the Yan Family." After a pause, she continued, "Don’t worry too much; let’s first see what your grandfather says."

Guo Xueming nodded, "I will listen to Mother."

...

Duke Cheng’en Residence.

After Duke Cheng’en and Princely Heir returned, they summoned Jiang Wanying.

"Grandfather, Uncle, has Brother Yang returned?"

Seeing her niece’s joyous face, Princely Heir smiled, "Yes, your Brother Yang has returned. In a couple of days, the Empress Dowager is going to host a family banquet at the Cining Palace, and your Brother Yang will be there, too."

Jiang Wanying’s eyes sparkled, "Then I must go."

Duke Cheng’en laughed, "Of course you must. Go back and have your mother prepare a couple of dresses for the banquet. You must dress up nicely for that day."

Jiang Wanying gave a bashful smile and curtseyed, "Then Wanying won’t disturb Grandfather and Uncle any longer."
