Chapter 820: Chapter 725, Bestowed Marriage (Two-in-One Large Chapter)

Daohua had just returned to the estate when she heard that Madam Han had arrived.

Upon realizing the guest was her sister-in-law’s mother, Daohua made a point to freshen up in her room before visiting the old lady’s courtyard.

Entering the grandmother’s room, Daohua discovered not only Madam Han, but also another madam was present.

Madam Li, seeing Daohua, immediately smiled and said, "Come and greet your Aunt Han and Aunt Feng."

Daohua approached with a smile and performed the greetings.

Madam Han smiled and said, "So this is Yiyi, truly as beautiful as a flower and as graceful as the moon."

Daohua’s eyebrows subtly furrowed for a moment—though the words were complimentary, the rumors circulating in Beijing about her and Xiao Yeyang painted her as a seductress, so such praise at this moment felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Next, Madam Feng made Daohua feel even more uneasy.

Madam Feng did not say anything inappropriate, but her gaze audaciously scanned Daohua from head to toe; not stopping there, she even slightly shook her head after finishing.

Both women were adept at social pretensions; aside from Daohua, who was sharply uncomfortable, no one else noticed as, under Han Xinran’s mindful engagement, the room buzzed with conversation and laughter.

Afterward, Daohua noticed Madam Feng’s critical gaze resting on her several times, annoying her immensely. She endured the discomfort and made a brief sit before finding an excuse to leave.

Seeing this, Han Xinran looked at Madam Han and Madam Feng, spoke to Madam Li, and together they left.

Stepping outside, Han Xinran smiled and said, "Little sister, your elder brother has just acquired some exquisite tea; would you like to come and try it in my room?"

Daohua couldn’t refuse, and thinking she had nothing else scheduled, she nodded in agreement.

As they passed through the garden, they saw Yan Wenxiu and Feng Hao chatting in the pavilion.

Han Xinran immediately smiled, "Look, there’s your elder brother and my cousin Feng Hao; they’ve come back so early. Let’s go and see what they are discussing." Saying this, she pulled Daohua along.

Since Feng Hao was Han Xinran’s cousin, Daohua couldn’t avoid meeting him and followed Han Xinran into the pavilion.

Upon entering, Daohua first greeted Yan Wenxiu and then bowed to Feng Hao, "Mr. Feng."

Feng Hao immediately returned the gesture, "Miss Yan."

Han Xinran, still smiling, pulled Daohua to sit down, "Little sister, you are too formal. We are all family here, there’s no need for such titles. Just call him cousin like I do."

Daohua glanced at her elder brother, saw him smiling and sitting aside, and thinking of Madam Feng in the grandmother’s room, she began to suspect something, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

"Why are elder brother and Mr. Feng together?"

Hearing Daohua had not changed her address, Feng Hao’s eyes flickered, and Han Xinran’s smile slightly stiffened.

Yan Wenxiu chuckled, "Now my cousin and I both work at the Hanlin Academy." Due to his wife’s connections, they had frequented each other over the past couple of years.

Han Xinran continued, "A while back, my aunt also came to Beijing, and today, my mother brought her over for a visit."

Feng Hao, glancing at Daohua, smiled at Yan Wenxiu, "In the future, I must trouble you more often."

Yan Wenxiu responded with a smile, "We are family after all; we should definitely visit more often." Feng Hao was knowledgeable and articulate, making him easy to talk to, and Yan was keen on building a closer relationship.

After that, Han Xinran kept prompting Daohua to engage more with Feng Hao, but Daohua only gave polite responses.

Her sister-in-law’s intentions were too clear, and seeing her elder brother not stopping it, Daohua’s irritation grew—a sentiment made understandable by the fact that only her grandparents and parents knew of her situation with Xiao Yeyang.

Considering her current immersion in rumors and his concern about her marital prospects were understandable.

However, understandable as it might be, Daohua did not agree with it. Shouldn’t such matters be discussed with her beforehand?

Furthermore, considering the demeanor of her grandmother and mother just then, it seemed unlikely they knew.

Perhaps today’s arrangement was just a spontaneous idea?

Seeing Daohua was not enthusiastic, Feng Hao smiled and asked, "Miss Yan, do you perhaps not remember me?"

Daohua looked at him: "I remember you; you are not only my sister-in-law’s cousin but also the fifth uncle from Cousin Zixuan’s marital family."

Feng Hao smiled, "Miss Yan might know me because of familial ties, but I knew of you from the time Jiguang suffered an epidemic a few years ago."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wenxiu and Han Xinran both turned their gaze towards them.
