Chapter 1224: Chapter 1044: Cold and Indifferent

When Yan Yile returned to the floral hall, to her surprise, she no longer wore a stern expression and answered the questions from the ladies present quite appropriately.

Seeing this, Daohua and Han Xinran were somewhat astonished, but in their hearts, they were pleased.

Both were disinclined to match Yan Yile with someone, but due to family face, they couldn’t just ignore it completely.

At this moment, they had only one thought, to quickly find a suitable match for Yan Yile, and then hasten to send the Sun Family and Yan Yile away.

In the following few days, Daohua arranged two banquets.

As the end of the year approached, social gatherings naturally peaked, making it less awkward to invite people over, and even if things didn’t work out, it wouldn’t be too embarrassing for both parties.

Matchmaking would certainly not be accomplished overnight, and Daohua was aware of this, yet she still underestimated the pickiness of the Sun Family and Yan Yile.

"Second sister, the families we’ve considered these past occasions are mostly familiar to my sister-in-law and me, coming from good backgrounds and bright futures. But aunty and Yile find faults in all, what exactly do they want?"

Yan Yihuan revealed a bitter smile, "Big sister, don’t be angry, I’ll talk to my mother and Yile later."

Daohua shook her head, "If you could persuade them, we wouldn’t need to be involved at all. Isn’t Lanwu Prefecture also a major city? Can’t we find anyone worthy of Yile?"

"Second sister, you should go back and ask Yile what exactly she is looking for? My sister-in-law and I don’t want to waste our efforts here for nothing."

"Before you get an answer, I’ll hold off on arranging any more banquets. The New Year is coming soon and everyone is quite busy."

Yan Yihuan’s face felt slightly hot, "Big sister, I will ask Yile properly."

Daohua nodded and picked up her teacup, "I need to check the accounts from various places, second sister, you go take care of your affairs as well."

Yan Yihuan stood up and left.

Once she left, Daohua put down her teacup, revealing an impatient look, "I don’t want to deal with the second branch’s affairs at all anymore. Once involved, it’s hard to get out."

She paused for a moment.

"Right, I heard that these days, Yile often goes to the amusement park?"

Guyu nodded.

Daohua frowned, "What does she do there? "

Guyu: "According to the servants, Miss Four often spends time at the amusement park playing with the Little Prince, Little Crown Prince, and the eldest lady."

Daohua thought in silence, "Daozi is currently with the twins at the amusement park, yes?" Saying this, she stood up and went directly to the amusement park.

...

"Fourth aunt, here!"

"Be careful."

In the amusement park, Yan Yile was playing a game of kickball with Daozi.

Yan Yile had always been playful and was quite good at the game of kickball; she could catch every ball Daozi kicked over, which impressed Daozi greatly.

The twins were also there, laughing loudly as they watched the two play.

Daohua arrived and stood at the gate without entering.

Seeing the smile on Yan Yile’s face, Daohua’s eyes flickered—Yan Yile had once lost a child, so seeing the three little ones might have stirred her maternal instincts?

"Let’s go."

After watching for a while, Daohua turned and left. Although she did not stop the children from playing with Yan Yile, she still instructed, "Keep a closer eye here, and report immediately if anything happens."

...

The guest house.

Yan Yihuan had been drinking several cups of tea in the Sun Family’s room before she finally saw Yan Yile returning from outside, looking relaxed. She was pleased to see her sister not looking gloomy.

"Did you go out to clear your mind again?"

Yan Yile sat down after entering the room and glanced at Yan Yihuan: "Second sister, you have been managing me a lot these days. What, am I not even allowed to go out and clear my mind?"

Yan Yihuan frowned but quickly recovered: "The Prince Residence is different from other places, with strict rules. Although our older sister and us are siblings, we should still restrain ourselves and not cause her any trouble."

Yan Yile replied impatiently: "Alright, alright, you’ve said this so many times, my ears have calluses."

Yan Yihuan felt displeased about Yan Yile’s attitude, but considering what she wanted to discuss, she held back: "Yile, tell me the truth, what kind of person do you really want to find?"

Yan Yile looked at her, and the image of a tall and upright figure emerged in her mind, but she lowered her head without speaking.

Yan Yihuan continued: "These days, our sister-in-law and older sister have been busy because of your affairs, but you haven’t liked anyone they’ve suggested. Tell me, what kind of person do you like? That way, I can talk to sister-in-law and older sister so they don’t work in vain."

Yan Yile scoffed: "The person I like is probably someone sister-in-law and older sister cannot find." She paused, "Even if there is one, I guess our older sister wouldn’t bless me."

Yan Yihuan frowned again: "Yile, why are your prejudices against our older sister so deep?"

Yan Yile snorted: "How dare I? She is now the Princess Consort, what am I?"

Yan Yihuan didn’t want to listen to her sarcasm: "Just tell me directly what kind of person you like, whether sister-in-law and older sister can find them or not is another matter."

Yan Yile looked at Yan Yihuan: "Second sister, you are so anxious about my affairs, do you want to go back to Lanwu Prefecture soon?"

Yan Yihuan remained silent, not speaking; she was indeed eager to return to Lanwu Prefecture, where she was now not only a mother’s daughter and Yile’s sister but also her husband’s wife.

Her husband was struggling alone far away, and as his wife, she should accompany him and take care of his daily life.

Now, for her maternal family’s sake, she had left her husband aside, which made her feel very guilty.

Yan Yile scoffed: "I knew it, in your heart, second sister, I mean nothing to you anymore," she sneered coldly.

"Actually, you, sister-in-law, and older sister are all the same, you seem to care about me, but deep down, all of you treat me as a burden that you want to get rid of soon."

Hearing Yan Yile’s harsh words, Yan Yihuan remained unusually calm, as she no longer felt the urge to argue with Yile, just looking at her coldly: "Aren’t you a burden?"

Yan Yile’s expression changed, seeing Yan Yihuan looking at her indifferently for the first time, the confidence she had just moments ago deflated.

She wasn’t brainless; she knew that among her sisters, the only one who still had genuine feelings for her was the very sister in front of her.

Yan Yihuan didn’t want to argue with Yan Yile anymore, she simply said: "You should think carefully about what kind of person you want to find, or consider whether you still want to get married."

"Don’t repeatedly wear out others’ patience and kindness. My ability is limited, if older sister and sister-in-law really stop caring for you, you will have to return to Beijing disgraced with Mother."

Watching Yan Yihuan’s departing figure, Yan Yile clenched her fists, her face full of dissatisfaction.

...

On the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, Daohua had finished dealing with her tasks, and upon seeing Daozi and the twins were not in the room, she asked: "Did the kids go to the amusement park again?"

Guyu nodded, looking a bit hesitant as she spoke: "Princess Consort, the Fourth Young Miss frequently visits the amusement park to find the young masters, it seems like she is intentionally getting close to them."

Daohua’s eyes instantly sharpened, as a mother, she disliked anyone targeting her children: "Have you noticed anything?"

Guyu shook her head: "Not really, I just feel that the Fourth Young Miss is a bit too attentive, which feels somewhat off."

Daohua still trusted Guyu. Besides, everyone has preferences, and she didn’t like Yan Yile personally. She immediately said: "The work is already done. I will accompany the children from now on."
