But one child is not so concerned about the situation.
"Dad, Iāll go with you. Itās almost time to eat. Iāll have lunch with Mom." Ye Ziāan rubbed his forehead when he heard this.
"Whereās your brother?"
"He stayed with the teacher, says heāll have lunch with him." Yangyang said as he shook his head, "The teacherās been eating vegetarian for the past two days. I donāt like vegetarian food. Eating at his place is torture, Iām not happy."
Ye Ziāan shook his head speechlessly. This rascal has loved meat since he was a child. Luckily heās born into a family with good conditions. If it were like his own childhood, what would he do?
"Just walk without eating; let your servant carry it for you." Ye Ziāan said when he saw him walking while still holding a bowl.
"Iām not eating, Iām holding it. Thereās ice in the bowl, itās cool to hold." Ye Ziāan noticed he was sweating a bit and raised a hand to place it on his head, with his wide sleeve casting shade over the small figure. Yangyang gave him a grin.
In the bamboo courtyard, Yang Chuxia was cutting gourds with Ming Lan. Seeing father and son arrive together, she smiled and waved, "Youāve come at a good time. Weāve cut the gourds, have some."
"Iām too full." Yangyang placed his bowl on the table and lounged in a chair, "Iām waiting for lunch."
Yang Chuxia glanced at his big bowl, which was already empty, and twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking heās eaten so much, no wonder heās full.
A plate of gourds with skewers was ready. Yang Chuxia picked a piece and fed it to Ye Ziāan, "How is it? Quite sweet, right?"
"Not bad."
"Sent from the estate." The estate on the outskirts of the capital was bestowed along with the princely mansion. Itās said that those with a title have such estates and lands.
"Madam, people from the Li Family are here again." Mingcui entered from outside with some anger on her face; she truly hadnāt seen people like this.
"Which Li Family?" Having spent the morning in the study, Ye Ziāan didnāt know what had happened outside.
"Itās that officialās residence." Yang Chuxia shook her head slightly, "Itās the family of the First Madam Luo. Didnāt Old Madam Luo say a marriage is arranged for Linyu? Itās their family. That stubborn old hag insisted even though Uncle and Linhao both disagreed. She made arrangements with the Li Family and even set the date for the bridal gift. Now, since sheās heard that Linyu isnāt staying at the Luo Family, sheās sent the bridal gifts to our house! I chased them off in the morning, and now theyāre back."
"This needs to be informed to Uncle," Ye Ziāan said, "With Old Madam Luo interfering like this, others might think thereās some engagement between Linyu and the Li Family. Any family genuinely interested in marrying Linyu might be hesitant, worrying about possible trouble."
"Donāt worry, Iāve already told that Old Madam Luo that whatever she does to Linyu, Iāll do the same to Luo Linfei. She wants to manipulate Linyu and Linhao siblings to ensure her childrenās prosperity? No way!"
Yang Chuxia took the towel handed by Ming Lan and wiped her hands, then said to Ye Ziāan, "You eat the gourd first, Iāll go have a look. Theyāre causing trouble right in front of our mansion, daring indeed."
"Iāll go with you."
"Why would you go?" Yang Chuxia shook her head, "The ones who came are matchmakers, along with a few maids from the Li Family carrying bridal gifts. What kind of nonsense is this? Even the Li Familyās Second Young Master hasnāt come, and they have the gall to propose for Linyu?"
