The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 920

Chapter 920: Chapter 788, Overestimating Oneself_2

Madam Li looked at her daughter, "Do you also think that Yile would be unwilling?"

Daohua replied, "Mother, you know Yile’s temperament all too well, she’s just like the second aunt; think about the kind of family the wives she chose for the second uncle came from?"

"She’s always been proud, and now that she clearly has better options, how could she fancy... the third cousin?"

Madam Li’s expression turned displeased, "Is your third cousin that bad?" with a huff she added, "If it weren’t for our support, what kind of good choices could she possibly have?"

After a silence, Madam Li continued, "Truthfully, I do not have high hopes for Yile; the girl lacks the sense of propriety and understanding of the big picture that Yihuan has. With the third cousin being gentle in nature and Yile being prideful and arrogant, he would hardly be able to hold sway over her."

Daohua nodded in agreement.

Madam Li pondered for a moment, "However, since your eldest uncle has already spoken, I still have to ask for the second branch’s opinion."

That same afternoon, Madam Li summoned Zhu Qiyun to the main courtyard.

Zhu Qiyun smiled and asked, "Great-aunt, did you summon me for something?"

Madam Li replied with a smile, "Nothing much, just wanted to have a chat with you." As she gestured for Zhu Qiyun to have some tea and took a sip from her own cup, she began to probe, "Yihuan’s marriage has been settled, but what are your thoughts on Yile and Wenjie?"

Zhu Qiyun quickly set down her teacup, "Before we left home, my father-in-law and mother-in-law specifically instructed us to listen to the great-uncle and great-aunt’s decisions after arriving in Beijing."

Madam Li smiled slightly, "What do you think of Chenzhi?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyun’s heart skipped a beat.

The great-aunt wouldn’t mention her nephew for no reason; could it be that she intended to marry Yile into her maternal family?

Watching Zhu Qiyun, who showed no joy but rather a troubled expression, Madam Li’s smile faded a little; after all, the Li Family was her maternal family, and seeing her own family being slighted did not sit well with her.

Realizing she hadn’t managed her expression well, Zhu Qiyun hurriedly rectified the situation by listing all of Li Chenzhi’s good traits.

Madam Li said with a light smile, "Chenzhi isn’t as great as you make him out to be, but let’s stop talking about him. Let’s discuss Yile; when you go back, help me ask her what kind of family she is looking to marry into and let me know her response."

Zhu Qiyun gave a stiff nod.

...

"I’ve always said the great-aunt has a kind face but a ruthless heart, but you all insisted otherwise; do you believe me now? She actually dares to think about marrying me off to her merchant nephew; what audacity!"

Yan Yile ranted furiously in her room. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

"Be quiet!"

Yan Wenjie looked at Yan Yile sternly.

Yan Yile, in defiance, retorted, "You’re rebuking me? Are you really my brother? Can’t you see someone is demeaning your sister?"
