I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 77 Looking at each other
On her first night in Taowu, Ye Wanshu slept exceptionally soundly.

Like Mother Yan and Mother Fang, they are the most capable people around my grandmother. She manages Taowu in an orderly manner, so I don't have to worry about anything.

After a long journey of half a month in Lin'an, I finally returned to Yuhua Town. The first thing I had to do was to enjoy myself and vent all the frustrations I had from being trapped in the Duke's Mansion in my previous life.

Taking advantage of the fact that the weather was not yet hot, after having breakfast and resting in the house for a while, Ye Wanshu took the two little ones, Fu Yunni and Qin Chulin, to soak in the hot spring.

Fu Yunni was a very outgoing person. After just one day in Taowu, she had become friends with everyone in the yard. During her breakfast, she even made little Chulin smile all over. Compared to when she was in Lin'an City, she seemed much more cheerful.

Seeing the two little ones having fun playing in the water, Ye Wanshu was willing to keep the little princess by her side, although the matter of discussing marriage was somewhat inconvenient.

When I have contact with other men while my little girl is around, I always feel as shameful as if I am having an affair.

From what I heard from Fu Mingchi's words yesterday, I thought he would be leaving Yuhua Town for a few days. If I could settle the marriage before he came back, he would have no reason to bother me anymore.

Thinking of this, Ye Wanshu became even more determined to get married.

Mother Yan was surprisingly efficient. At noon, she went to the town to buy Biluochun cake and brought back a man. It was said that he was a private school teacher in the town who had passed the examination for a tongsheng and had some knowledge.

Ye Wanshu coaxed Fu Yunni to accompany Qin Chulin in the garden at the back to appreciate the spring scenery, and left Chunhong and Xingtao to look after the garden together, and then went to the front hall with Mother Yan.

When Ye Wanshu arrived, the scholar was sitting in the living room drinking tea. He seemed to have never seen such an elegant and luxurious place. He felt a little uncomfortable when he first entered the room. The moment he saw Ye Wanshu, his whole face turned red.

He hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed solemnly, then sat back down with his head lowered, not daring to look at her.

Looking at that shy look, even shyer than other girls in the boudoir, Ye Wanshu couldn't help but smile secretly while covering her handkerchief.

Mother Yan was anxious when she saw this. She helped her to a seat while explaining, "Miss, Mr. Sun has a good character and is well-known in Yuhua Town."

After he finished speaking, he leaned over to Ye Wanshu's ear and whispered, "The most important thing is that his family background is clean, he has no father or mother, and there's no messy family affairs. If he were to marry into the family, he would only be devoted to you, young lady."

Ye Wanshu was naturally confident in Mother Yan's work. The person she chose must be someone who could live a stable life.

Ye Wanshu secretly glanced at Mr. Sun with great interest. Although he was not as charming and attractive as Fu Mingchi, nor as handsome as the top scholar, he was still quite good-looking.

This man had only been in the room for a cup of tea when his forehead was already covered in sweat.

"Is it very hot, Mr. Sun?"

Ye Wanshu was slightly stunned and quickly told Mother Yan to get a handkerchief to wipe her face.

"It's not hot, it's not hot. No need to trouble Miss and Mother Yan." Mr. Sun answered while rolling up his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his face, looking quite flustered.

She was used to seeing the domineering Gu brothers in the Duke's Mansion, but this was the first time she saw such a shy man. It was really new. Ye Wanshu couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile again.

Mother Yan quickly whispered to the side, "Girl, be serious, be serious. Mr. Sun has never seen someone as naturally beautiful as you, and he's a little nervous for a moment."

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady." Mr. Sun clasped his fists again with an apologetic look on his face.

After finally straightening himself up and taking a serious look at Ye Wanshu, his face involuntarily turned red again, filled with embarrassment.

Though a little shy, Ye Wanshu was quite satisfied. Besides anything else, her family background was clean, and without those messy relatives and sisters-in-law, she could indeed live a peaceful life without worries. "Sir, have you thought it over? Are you really willing to marry into my family?" Ye Wanshu didn't mince words and said bluntly, "I've broken off an engagement before. I wonder if Madam Yan has told you all this?"

"I have nothing but respect for you, young lady. I only wish to be loyal to you for the rest of my life, regardless of status or having any second thoughts." Mr. Sun's heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of his chest.

His tone was very sincere, but Ye Wanshu would not believe these sweet words. She only believed in herself and believed in what she could hold on to.

"Thank you for your honesty, sir." Ye Wanshu also said sincerely, "I have a younger brother at home who is just beginning to learn. If you have time, please come visit us more often."

Anyone who is smart can understand the meaning of this and be willing to contact him.

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Mr. Sun was so excited that he immediately stood up and said, "I will go back and prepare now. I will come to your house tomorrow to teach you."

After saying this, he bowed respectfully with his fists clasped together and left in a hurry.

"Sir, it's not too late to stay for dinner and go back."

Mother Yan wanted to catch up with the guest and keep him, but the guest was afraid of delaying his preparations for the class, so he kept making excuses and left.

Mother Yan came back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and explained, "Mr. Sun is well-known for his responsibility. He is determined to complete everything he promises. Families from all over the town are willing to send their children to him. The girl must be right for him."

Ye Wanshu nodded in approval. This man did look a bit strict and rigid. Although he lacked some fun, he was actually a reliable and pragmatic person.

"When he comes to Taowu tomorrow, let's all show him some respect and don't neglect him. Being a son-in-law is already an injustice to him, so don't let him feel any more aggrieved when he comes to your house."

As soon as Ye Wanshu finished instructing Mother Yan, Fu Yunni came running out panting.

"Sister Ye, who are you saying is feeling aggrieved?" She blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "Don't you want to be my sister-in-law anymore?"

Ye Wanshu and Yan's mother looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.

"Little Princess, your elder brother and I are innocent, so don't talk nonsense."

Ye Wanshu pulled her closer and said kindly, "Besides, your eldest brother will have many women in the future: wives, concubines, and concubines. By then, you'll definitely have a lot of sisters-in-law, so I won't join in the fun."

"My eldest brother won't find many sisters-in-law for me." Fu Yunni's eyes were extremely firm: "He even had a hard time marrying you, how could he marry others?"

Chunhong and Xingtao couldn't help laughing out loud while listening to it.

Mother Yan didn't want the little princess to delay her daughter's good fortune, so she quickly coaxed her, "Princess, our daughter just wants to find a teacher for Young Master Qin. When the teacher enters the mansion tomorrow, you can also follow him to study and learn calligraphy."

"Is he really just a teacher?" Fu Yunni looked at Ye Wanshu doubtfully.

Ye Wanshu didn't want to provoke this little guy, so she echoed Mother Yan's response. After all, after they got married, Fu Mingchi couldn't be so shameless as to leave the little guy in Taowu.
