“My parents might think that Sanfu will have great prospects in the future,” Pei Dongyu continued.
“They also said that if Sanfu had great prospects, he would help me to be more sessful in the officialdom. Naturally, I didn’t agree with my parents’ idea, but it’s true that my sister should be betrothed to someone worthy.
“Other people are already married at my sister’s age, but I’m afraid that she won’t marry well and suffer grievances in her inws’ family. Even if my
parents had a few people they liked before I became an official, I didn’t agree with those people.
“For me, I think Sanfu is very reliable. I’ve seen him a few times in the past, and he’s part of your family. I thought that if she really married Sanfu, Sanfu would treat her well and not let her suffer. No one in your family would bully her, so I naturally felt at ease. I only have this one sister after all.”
Xue Yan understood.
In her previous life, it was thanks to Dongyu’s great efforts that Sanfu and Pei Fufu were able to get married. In this life, Sanfu and Pei Fufu seemed to be relying on Sanfu to get married instead.
If Sanfu hadn’t gone to the military camp, he would still be like in his previous life, doing hardbor for others, earning money to support his studies. Dongyu’s parents would definitely have different thoughts from his previous life. Even if Dongyu suggested it, they might not agree.
Jiang Yue also understood that it was Master Pei and Madam Pei who wanted
Sanfu to be their son-inw for the sake of Pei Dongyu’s official career. Pei Dongyu was originally unwilling, but Sanfu was reliable and felt that Pei Fufu would not be wronged if she married Sanfu, so he epted Master Pei and Madam Pei’s suggestion.
“My parents are a little muddle-headed sometimes.” Pei Dongyu sighed again.
“Fortunately, they still listen to me. If our families really get together, you won’t have to worry about anyplications. I can promise you here.”
“Dongyu, we didn’t mean it that way.” Xue Yan hurriedly said. He naturally trusted Dongyu i s character. He knew that Dongyu only wanted his sister to marry someone who would treat her well.
Pei Dongyu sighed again and smiled. “No matter what, I’ll have to ask you to tell Sanfu and your family.” After a pause, he pleaded again. “My sister is still a youngdy. Her reputation will be on the line. I hope that even if your family doesn’t agree, you won’t spread this matter to others.”
Everything was for his sisters sake.
“Of course.”
“This is what I think,” Pei Dongyu said as he brought Xue Yan closer to him.
“I’m going to the Imperial Capital in a few days. I’ll bring my family with me. I came back this time to pick them up. It’s also the Emperor’s kindness that he gave me some time off. He knew that I wanted to send someone back to pick up my family, so he gave me a leave of absence and asked me toe back personally to pick them up.
“This can be considered as me ying my role as awful son. It your family agrees to the marriage between the two families, then I want to settle the matter between Fufu and Sanfu before I go to the Imperial Capital.
“It would be best if your family coulde and propose marriage as soon as possible. The matters of the marriage can be discussedter. This is not urgent. As long as there is a marriage agreement, my sister will not be gossiped about even if she has to wait for a few years.
“Moreover, our family knows that Sanfu has only been in the military camp for a short time. In the future, when he can return from the military camp, I will send my sister back to get married.”
Xue Yan nodded, “I understand. I’ll tell Sanfu and my familyter..”
