Chen Xiuying thought about her son's marriage all night long, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

But she didn't want her child to miss out on such a good marriage. With no other options, she went to the Duke's Mansion to ask her godmother and sister-in-law for advice.

Ever since she opened her shop and started studying medicine with her master, she hadn't been to the Duke's Mansion for almost two months. When the old lady saw her, she scolded her for not coming home more often.

Chen Xiuying also knew that she was in the wrong, so she cooked a table full of delicious food for her godfather, godmother, elder brother and sister-in-law at noon.

The old lady finally forgave her. Fang was so happy that she kept getting angry and said that her mother-in-law should get angry more often so that Xiuying would cook more delicious food for them.

As soon as she said this, everyone laughed.

Seeing that her godmother had finally calmed down, Chen Xiuying told everyone about Quan Dali's life, including his previous family, his grandmother's death, and the story of his father and the Sun family mother and daughter. She told them all in detail.

After listening to her, the old lady patted Chen Xiuying's hand and said, "The child is a good child, but it's a pity that he met such a family. Fortunately, he met you, otherwise the child would have been forced to death by them."

Chen Xiuying recalled what Sun had said to him, and her heart sank. Although not all stepmothers are evil, Quan Dali had to meet such a vicious stepmother. It can only be said that Quan Dali had a miserable life.

But now everything is fine. Having left that family, I can feel like I'm starting a new life.

At this time, Fang said: "We trust this child's character, but whether this marriage will be successful depends on Dali's own thoughts. After all, he suffered such injustice before, and we don't know what he thinks about marriage in his heart." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen Xiuying said hurriedly: "Da Li is willing to get married, start a career and live a good life.

But I have two concerns. First, I'm afraid those rumors will affect the girl's mind. Second, Dali's life is too difficult. He finally met someone he likes, but something like this happened. Who would allow their daughter to wait for him for three years? So, I don't know what to do.

The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "That may not be the case. Take Sisi, for example. Don't you want to keep her until she's eighteen before getting married? Maybe she has the same idea as you."

Fang agreed, "That's right. We can ask someone first. What if they agree? As long as their parents don't mind our Dali family background, you can then give them some extra betrothal gifts for the child. That's fine."

Chen Xiuying: "Preparing more betrothal gifts is certainly no problem. Over the years, I have saved money for my children's weddings. Plus, we have frequent cooperation with Datong Trading Company, so I do have the money for this."

After hearing what she said, the old lady nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find Old Lady Xu and ask her to talk to Old Lady Yuan about this.

If it works, let the two children meet again and make everything clear.

If the little granddaughter of the Yuan family is still willing, we can issue a marriage certificate in advance, without filling in the date, and hand it to the other party. It can be regarded as a matter of finalizing the matter first, and the rest can be done together in three years!

The old lady Xu that Old Lady Song mentioned is the old wife of Xu Daxueshi. She was a close friend of Old Lady Song when she was young, and they have been in contact over the years.

When Chen Xiuying heard that this was possible, her mood immediately turned sunny. Her headaches were gone, and she wasn't sleepy anymore. She felt like she had been given a shot of chicken blood, and she walked with a breeze.

"Thank you, mother. I'll leave it to you. Regardless of success or failure, I will prepare the betrothal gifts for the child first."

So, the next day, Mrs. Song met with her old friend and told her about the child. She hoped that she could ask the other party what the other party thought about the child. If the woman did not mind, the man could give the marriage certificate to the other party in advance.

Madam Xu was a warmhearted person. The next day after hearing the news, she went to the Yuan residence and told Madam Yuan everything. Madam Yuan frowned slightly and pondered. Although she loved her granddaughter, this matter was indeed a little special.

Youyou's father used to be a Tongpan (Tongpan) in the local area, a sixth-rank official. After using connections to transfer back to the capital, he became a director of the Guanglu Temple, also a sixth-rank official. But officials in the capital were half a rank higher than those in the local area, which was equivalent to a promotion.

Youyou was gifted, intelligent, and well-educated, so it wouldn't be difficult to find a better family for her. However, the Zhou family was a newly wealthy family in the capital, highly favored by the Emperor. The old man had mentioned this before, and their family had even received rewards for this. In her heart, Old Madam Yuan still hoped that the Zhou family would be able to marry her.

Although Quan Dali's family relationship was extremely bad before, he was no longer alive. Old Madam Yuan thought that her granddaughter was usually kind and generous, so she might not mind.

Immediately, Old Madam Yuan summoned Yuan Youyou and told her the story. Yuan Youyou blushed, but her heart was filled with resignation. "Grandma, a few days ago, my granddaughter was nearly hit by our own carriage, and it was Master Quan who saved her. That speaks volumes about his character. I'm willing to wait."

When Old Lady Yuan heard about this incident, she hurriedly asked her granddaughter to tell her the story. So Yuan Youyou told Old Lady Yuan the story of how she frightened the horse that day and how the other party rescued her.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yuan nodded repeatedly and asked Mrs. Xu to reply that the Yuan family had agreed to this matter. When Chen Xiuying heard the news, she was overjoyed and hurriedly prepared the marriage certificate.

When Quan Dali learned about this, he was filled with gratitude and anticipation. He secretly vowed to work hard and make progress, so as to live up to Miss Yuan's expectations.

Because the child was still in mourning and could not go to the ceremony, they had to choose an auspicious day and have Old Lady Song go to the Yuan Mansion with the marriage certificate to formally seal the marriage. For this, the two families were overjoyed and only waited for the couple to be together in three years.

At this time, Quan Dali had not returned to the military camp yet. This time he had a ten-day vacation.

Before returning to the military camp, he met Miss Yuan again with the help of Zhou Sisi.

The last time they met, they were just acquaintances. Unexpectedly, this time, they were already engaged. Yuan Youyou shyly lowered her head at the thought. Quan Dali, on the other hand, was so nervous she didn't know where to put her hands. Seeing this, Zhou Sisi quickly made a joke to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Finally, Quan Dali finally plucked up the courage to express his gratitude to Yuan Youyou and told her about his plans for the future.

He told Yuan Youyou that he would continue to work hard in the military and strive to give her a safe, happy and stable life in the future. Yuan Youyou responded softly, expressing her belief that he would be able to do it.
