The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

Gu Yunyan followed up with the question: "What's the idea?"

"Why don't you marry my third brother?" Guan Ying smiled slyly, picked up the pastries on the table and started feeding her, well, mainly to shut her up.

She fed her third brother cakes while listing his merits.

"My third brother is handsome and well-educated. He is only one year older than you. He is already a juren at the age of sixteen."

"If my father hadn't wanted my third brother to enter the officialdom too early and wanted to keep him company to hone his skills, my third brother would have passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi two years ago."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Gu Yunyan choked on a mouthful of pastry and started coughing.

Guan Ying was startled and quickly poured a cup of tea for her, "Ayan, what are you doing? Look how you choked yourself, and no one is trying to snatch the tea from you, so eat slowly."

She felt better after a cup of tea.

Her face was as rosy as the peach blossoms blooming on the branches in spring, and her pair of watery almond eyes looked at her with an angry look, which was very beautiful.

Guan Ying looked at her infatuatedly and forgot to speak.

Gu Yunyan was not used to it, but she still said, "Sister Ying, please stop it. Third Brother Guan is a young talent with a good family background and good looks, but it is impossible for us to be together."

The original body had met Guan San Ge several times and liked him a little, but she knew her identity and the two of them would not be together.

Not to mention letting Guan Sange marry into the family.

"How is it impossible?" Guan Ying laughed so happily when she heard the first half of the compliment, but she felt so uncomfortable when the second half came out.

"Ayan, have you been affected by what those people outside said?"

"Sister Ying, I..."

She interrupted, "Don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside. Although the third brother is a bastard, his aunt is of a poor family background."

"But his aunt passed away shortly after giving birth to him. He grew up with my mother, and he was no worse than my two brothers who were born from the same mother."

"The relationship between us brothers and sisters is very good, you can rest assured about that."

"Besides, Third Brother is the best-looking man in our family, and you are also good-looking. The two of you are a perfect match. The child you two will have will definitely be very good-looking. Don't you really want it?"

Thinking about her nieces and nephews who would be as cute as fairies in the sky, she was so excited that she wished they could get married and have children right away.

If this person had a bad background and was a prostitute in a brothel, it would be fine.

But Guan San Ge's aunt was the daughter of a criminal who was implicated in the succession of imperial power in the previous generation. She was rushed into the Jiaosifang to be an official prostitute, and no one knew what happened to her later.

She was awarded to Lord Guan by the Emperor, and Lord Guan was soon exiled to Jiangnan Prefecture. In less than a year, she gave birth to the third brother Guan.

She died shortly afterwards.

Mrs. Guan was kind and raised him in her arms, treating him no worse than her own children.

But even so, there are still many people outside criticizing his identity.

Gu Yunyan didn't have any thoughts of looking down on him. She shook her head and said, "Sister Ying, I know Third Brother Guan is a good person."

"It's just that my father is already looking for a future husband for me, and I will stay at home to wait for the birth of my baby, so I can only appreciate your kindness."

Guan Ying was not unaware of what Gu’s parents were thinking.

But she still didn't give up, and wanted to try to see if they could both take a step back, discuss the matter, and come up with a good solution that would satisfy both parties.

She decided to go back and talk to her parents.

Aren't they worried about their third brother's marriage? Gu Yunyan grew up under their care, and people outside said she was spoiled and unruly.

That's just appearance.

It was all Gu Lamei from Uncle Gu's family who was behind the scenes, always tricking the simple Ah Yan into doing wrong things, giving her a bad reputation.

"Miss Guan San is here too."

Just as I thought of Gu Lamei, her annoying, pretentious and gentle voice came from the door.

"What a coincidence! The sweet-scented osmanthus cheese cake I just made is still warm. How about you and your cousin try it together?"

What a coincidence.

It was obvious that she knew that after Gu Yunyan returned safely, Guan Ying would definitely come to visit within the next few days, so she asked the maid to keep an eye on her every day.

She took the cakes out of the lunch box and put them on the table, with a blushing look on her face.

"If there's anything wrong, you must tell me, I will improve it and make it more delicious next time."

Guan Ying's expression changed immediately when she heard her voice.

He sat up straight with a calm expression, as if he was not very familiar with her, or even a stranger.

She glanced at the pastries calmly and politely refused.

"I'm so sorry Miss Gu, Ah Yan and I have just eaten and now we can't eat anything."

"Take it home and eat it yourself."

These words were not polite at all. Whether it was the tone and attitude, or the name and words that followed, they all showed that he didn't want to have anything to do with her.

Gu Lamei's perfectly gentle smile froze.

Then he quickly turned to regret: "Is that so? Then when Miss Guan San comes next time, just let me know in advance so that I can prepare it in advance, and then you can..."

"I came to see Ah Yan. I came whenever I wanted. There's no need to say hello in advance."

"Besides, the cook here always prepares the snacks and teas that I like, so there's no need to trouble you, don't you think, Ayan?"

Gu Yunyan nodded and affirmed.

"Sister Ying is right. I always have your favorite snacks and teas ready here. No matter when you come, you will always have your favorite food."

"Ayan still knows me best." Guan Ying covered her mouth and smiled.

"Of course I know Sister Ying. We have known each other for seven or eight years, and Sister Ying knows me best."

Guan Ying was very happy to hear this.

She means more to Ayan than Gu Lamei. Looking at her cute and charming face with curved eyebrows, she couldn't help but stretch out her index finger and gently touch her eyebrows.

"Don't tell Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu about what I just told you."

"Wait until I go back and convince my parents, and then I'll come back to talk to you about the follow-up. It won't be too late for you to talk to Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu then, understand?"

After she finished speaking, she remembered that there was an annoying and nosy Gu Lamei standing here.

The next moment, she was about to say that this was their little secret and no one could tell it, but a disgusting questioning voice rang out.

"What's the matter? If you can't tell your uncle and aunt, can you tell me?"

Gu Yunyan's heart moved, and she blinked, saying without any defense: "Sister Ying wants me to marry Third Brother Guan."

"what?!"

Gu Lamei really couldn't help herself this time and cried out in surprise.

She squeezed the handkerchief so hard that her palm was about to break. It hurt so much that it made her realize more clearly that what the fool Gu Yunyan said was true.

Damn Guan Ying!

Is she mentally ill?

Gu Yunyan was just a merchant's daughter. She was unruly and willful, and even beat up her servants. She didn't behave like a girl at all.

What on earth did she like about her? She actually wanted her third brother to marry her?!

Gu Lamei considered herself to be sensible, gentle and considerate, and not a lowly merchant's daughter. Her elder brother was a scholar, and she was the scholar's sister.

Why didn't Guan Ying get along with her? Why didn't she let Guan Sange marry her?

She deliberately spread Gu Yunyan's bad reputation step by step, but Guan Ying was still on good terms with Gu Yunyan and they became close friends.

No matter how much she did to please her, she still didn't like her.

Brother Guan San is the best man she has ever met, in every aspect. No, Gu Yunyan must not even think about marrying into the Guan family!

She pretended to speak out of turn, surprised and puzzled.

"But cousin, aren't you and Guan Yuqin from the outer courtyard in love and about to get married?"

"What Guan Yuqin?" Guan Ying frowned. Why is his last name Guan?
