Chapter 993: Chapter 642: Top Scholar Song Actually Does This? Returning Before Parents Get Married

Xiao Jinyan had thought it would take at least two more days, but to her surprise, it’s almost tomorrow. How could they be so impatient?

"Tomorrow it is, then. The matchmakers cannot just be one person; I and the Crown Princess will go together in the role of matchmakers."

Song, the Top Scholar, kowtowed joyfully, "Thank Your Highness for the grace."

When Xiao Jinyan told Xiao Jiu, Feng Wuyou thought he was joking.

"You’re trying to placate me, aren’t you?"

Xiao Jinyan chuckled lightly, "When have I ever used these words to placate you?"

Feng Wuyou looked at Xiao Jinyan in shock, "So it’s true?"

"Of course it’s true, I’ll go with you tomorrow."

Not just anyone could get the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to act as matchmakers.

Seeing Tao Minmin at the door, Feng Wuyou smiled and said, "Minmin, why are you standing outside without coming in?"

Only then did Tao Minmin react, rushing forward to pay her respects excitably, "This commoner greets Your Highness and the Crown Princess."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Rise."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Tao Minmin stood up, took her place beside her father, and sneaked a glance at Song, the Top Scholar, only to find that he was also looking at her. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she averted her gaze.

Song, the Top Scholar, and Tao Minmin were mutually attracted to each other, and their engagement was quickly set, to take place in just five days.

Tao Minmin was overjoyed.

Feng Wuyou was also happy. Once the date was set, the two began to whisper to each other.

"I didn’t expect you to move so quickly, a few days ago there was no news, and now, suddenly, a marriage proposal."

Tao Minmin, a bit embarrassed, said, "Song, the Top Scholar, came to propose just as I had learned of it. Not to mention, I wasn’t aware he had also invited Your Highness and you to be the matchmakers. It’s like my family’s ancestors are blessing us."

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud after saying this.

Feng Wuyou was surprised, "How could you not know? Did Song, the Top Scholar, propose without informing you first?"

Tao Minmin sighed and recounted the events of the past few days concisely from start to finish.

"So that’s the whole story, who would have thought that the tale from a storybook would happen to me? If it hadn’t been for Song, the Top Scholar, I would have been deceived by a scoundrel."

Feng Wuyou said, "I knew you would compromise due to pressure, and we can only say the scoundrel was too good at disguising himself. You decided on the engagement without informing me; if you had, I would have definitely stopped you."

"Scholarly and polite, gentle and refined, and a man who knows when to advance or retreat, no wonder you took a liking to Song, the Top Scholar, at first glance."

Tao Minmin laughed shyly, "Isn’t it said in storybooks? It’s fate, attraction based on feeling. Song, the Top Scholar, made a very good impression on me, proving my initial feeling was right. He confessed his intentions yesterday, and today he came to propose with two matchmakers. Such a surprise."

"And here was I, complaining to His Highness that Song, the Top Scholar, couldn’t compare to my brother, who is quick and decisive, who just went ahead and gave the betrothal gifts. But little did I expect ah, Song, the Top Scholar, usually so reserved and prudent, turned out to be quite impatient when it came to marriage. Perhaps that’s just how men are."

Feng Wuyou couldn’t help but think of Xiao Jinyan; it seemed that as soon as he had made up his mind, he was impatient to have her share his bed, as if fearing that if she didn’t, she might run away.

"However, now you’re engaged to Song, the Top Scholar, so you could say it’s a blessing in disguise, with fortune following after a mishap."

Tao Minmin said, "I think so too. If it weren’t for that incident, I’m afraid Song, the Top Scholar, and I wouldn’t have been able to be together so quickly."

Feng Wuyou sighed in astonishment, "Ah, my brother’s wedding is the day after tomorrow. After the wedding feast, I’ll have to attend the engagement banquet, and then it will be your wedding celebration."

Tao Minmin wore an envious expression, "Isn’t it great to eat without gaining weight, eating however you want?"

"Who says so?" Feng Wuyou snorted, "His Highness always likes to touch my belly these days, saying there’s too much flesh here, which is another way of saying I’ve gotten fat. Seven-year itch, and I’m not even five years in, and already I’m being complained about."

Tao Minmin found it hard to believe, "Did His Highness really say that?"

Feng Wuyou confidently said, "Of course, would I lie to you?"

Tao Minmin sneaked a peek at Xiao Jinyan, not too far away, with some doubt, "His Highness doesn’t seem like that... "

After setting the engagement date, Xiao Jinyan and Feng Wuyou did not stay long before returning, with the Tao Family seeing them out.

Tao Minmin looked at Song, the Top Scholar, and asked quietly, "Why didn’t you tell me yesterday?"

Song, the Top Scholar withdrew his gaze to look at Tao Minmin, smiled, and said, "Suddenly proposing today was indeed abrupt, but consider it a surprise, no?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Minmin first paused, then broke into laughter. It was indeed a tremendous surprise.
