Chapter 1054: Chapter 26 Marriage Affairs [2 in 1] Chapter 1054: Chapter 26 Marriage Affairs [2 in 1] “So how did you handle that?” Lady Dong pressed on.

She understood her daughter’s character very well, but precisely because of this understanding, she guessed what her daughter would do next. Yet, she hoped…her guess was wrong.

Could it be this girl didn’t force the issue?

Dong Xiaoyan acted coquettishly for a while before finally coming clean, “That time we were going to part, he didn’t say anything clearly, so I got anxious…”

“Ahem…”

Dong Canglan felt an ominous premonition, and immediately scolded, “A young lady should be modest, what’s there to be anxious about?!”

Dong Xiaoyan retorted angrily, “He just wouldn’t speak up, wouldn’t take the initiative. If I remained modest, someone else might snatch him away. How could I not be anxious? Is this something to be calm about?”

Lady Dong first gave her husband a disdainful look, then continued questioning Dong Xiaoyan, “Go on, so you were anxious, then what did you do?”

“I just asked him, I said, ‘Do you plan to marry me in the future?'”

Dong Xiaoyan stood with her arms akimbo, exuding a formidable and assertive aura, her every word ringing with conviction.

Dong Canglan subconsciously covered his face with his hand, sighing deeply through the gaps between his fingers.

“And what was his response?”

Lady Dong’s interest was piqued even more, feeling that although her guess wasn’t entirely correct…

it seemed to have merely shifted from an action to a verbal confirmation.

After all, it was still her daughter taking the initiative.

She had never once misjudged her daughter…that silly girl.

“He said, ‘Yes! I will marry you in the future!'” Dong Xiaoyan’s face flushed with excitement, her eyes brimming with dreamy ripples.

“…”

Lady Dong was filled with joy but also admiration.

Her future son-in-law hadn’t had it easy; he was practically coerced by her daughter.

On the side, Dong Canglan sighed. He truly felt that his precious daughter had completely slipped through his fingers, gone without looking back.

What a disgrace!

You are the Young Mistress of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, the future heir to the palace leadership. Where’s your modesty? Your manners? Your… your what’s-it-called?

“So what are your plans for the future?” Lady Dong asked her daughter.

“What are the plans? Of course, to get married,” Dong Xiaoyan chuckled.

“No way! Absolutely not!” Dong Canglan reacted vehemently, directly opposing the idea.

“This is not for you to decide.”

Dong Xiaoyan huffed, “You don’t need to worry about anything; just wait to cradle your grandchild.”

“How dare you! What nonsense is a girl of your standing spouting!”

Dong Canglan was furiously helpless.

Even though he was the Master of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, when it came to his daughter, he was utterly powerless, especially with Lady Dong above him, the situation left him even more feeble and at a loss.

Lady Dong, who had rolled her eyes once again, languidly said, “Who would have thought that the great Master Dong of Cloud Palace would succumb to the common folly of ordinary men? You need to accept the reality: having Doctor Feng as your son-in-law is a huge win for you, a tremendous advantage. If someone else had this chance, they’d be overjoyed to the point of stupidity. And look at your behavior; you’re sick, you need to be treated!”

Addressing Dong Xiaoyan, she said, “Don’t mind your dad; he’s just foolish with happiness.”

“However, this is a significant event in your life and must be approached with caution. You’re set to inherit the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace in the future—the irreplaceable successor. There’s no arguing that. Doctor Feng is no ordinary man either; is he willing to marry into the family? You must discuss this in advance!” Lady Dong added.

Indeed, the basic principles and general direction could not be abandoned. Though there might be room for negotiation, the starting point of asking for the moon in the hope of landing somewhere reasonable had to be established!

“Marry into the family? What are you thinking?”

Dong Xiaoyan exclaimed angrily, “I’ve gone through so much trouble to chase after this man; what if you scare him away with your talk of marrying into the family?”

“…”

The couple exchanged looks involuntarily; their own daughter seemed to be acting as though she was desperate to get married!

This wasn’t right. Their daughter, the very person directly involved, should have been on the same page as her parents. How come she jumped to the opposing camp so quickly? How could they possibly start with a sky-high demand only to settle for much less now?

This way, it’s like directly diving from the high board, pricing herself at rock bottom!

It’s all over, it’s heading towards a loss as big as the whole family!

“So what are we going to do? How come you don’t understand basic reasoning? Are we just to dismiss the dignity of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace? Even if Doctor Feng is good, very talented, exceptional, and decent-looking, we can’t lower our status too much!”

“No way can he marry into the family! You also said that Feng Yin is good, very talented, and exceptional, with a decent appearance. What if we lose a treasure? We are marrying off a daughter, not taking in a son-in-law; where’s the logic in integrating someone into our household?”

Dong Xiaoyan argued fervently, “That’s the real nonsense, unacceptable in logic and indecorous to mention, we definitely can’t proceed like this!”

“So what do you suggest we do? We need to follow the tradition of ‘parental blessing and the matchmaker’s word,’ don’t we?”

Lady Dong sighed, ruffling her daughter’s hair, “Won’t he at least send a matchmaker to ask for your hand in marriage? Are we really supposed to take the initiative in these matters?”

Dong Canglan was furious, “What nonsense are you two talking about? Wouldn’t that basically mean an agreement has been reached? Do you still regard me, the palace master, as relevant?”

In fact, Dong Canglan was very clear about the reality inside and outside the home.

With the Nine Colors Supreme and various clan elders outside, all Doctor Feng had to do was say, “I need a matchmaker right now.”

Do you believe that those old fellows outside would be willing to fight over this matchmaking role?

However, Lady Dong’s position was clearly awry, seeming to fully agree and eager to see the matter settled immediately.
