Ye Wanning said she had thought it through, "You're right, we get to choose our own dates, so we have to follow our own heart."

"You have indeed improved." Princess Longyu nodded with some satisfaction.

"Won't my godmother ask me what happened?" Ye Wanning had already confided in Princess Longyu, and if the other party asked, she would tell the truth.

Princess Longyu shook her head. "Whether you know it or not, it doesn't change the facts. There's no need to know too much. I know you're a good person. I'll arrange everything for you. Go back to the Ye family first. After all, you don't plan to let them know, so you can only take this opportunity to spend some more time with them."

"Thank you so much, godmother." Ye Wanning was truly grateful, having felt the warmth of maternal love for the first time since her own mother's passing.

After Princess Longyu left Ye Wanning's place, Granny Jiang said that if they did this, what if Xie Bohuai went crazy looking for her?

"Then let him go looking. Do you think I'm afraid he won't?" Princess Longyu now values ​​Ye Wanning more. "It's rare that Wanning is so clear-headed. I've already used her, and now it's my turn to make it up to her. As for Xie Bohuai, let him be. Who told him to always be a coward and refuse to propose marriage?"

Speaking of this, Princess Longyu looked down on Xie Bohuai. If it were her, she would go through fire and water to keep her beloved by her side.

Granny Jiang sighed, "Actually, Lord Xie is quite deeply in love."

"It's no use going any deeper. No man in the world can accept his beloved woman being pregnant with another man's child." Princess Longyu didn't ask Ye Wanning what happened, so she still assumed that Ye Wanning was pregnant with Zhou Yu's child. "If Xie Bohuai really marries Wanning, do you think he'll wear this green hat?"

Granny Jiang fell silent; she had never actually seen a man willing to do that.

The master and servant began to plan Ye Wanning's future. Princess Longyu was very wealthy, so she would not let Ye Wanning suffer. However, they would have to put some thought into where she would go and how she would be arranged.

Meanwhile, Ye Wanning packed her bags, bid farewell to Princess Longyu the next day, and returned to the Ye family.

The Ye family was overjoyed to see Ye Wanning return. Old Madam Ye hugged Ye Wanning tightly, refusing to let go, "My dear grandmother, how could His Highness bear to let you come back?"

"I told my godmother I missed you all, and she let me come back to stay for a while. After all, the Ye family is my home." Ye Wanning felt the warmth from her grandmother and felt a deep sense of attachment. "This time I'll stay longer. Grandmother looks quite well lately; it seems she's had a good rest."

After feeling relieved, Madam Ye did sleep better. "Your second brother is married, and you have a princess to rely on. Now that Wanyu's matter is about to be settled, I have nothing to worry about."

"The Jin family agreed?" Ye Wanning went to see her two sisters-in-law.

Jiang Si said not yet, "but Madam Jin took the initiative to arrange a meeting with our young lady. After I took Wanyu and Wanhua there, Madam Jin's attitude was quite good. I think Jin Ziguan has probably persuaded his mother."

Speaking of this, Ye Wanyu wasn't shy at all, but spoke frankly, "Jin Ziguan told me that his mother has already agreed, and he also told me directly about his family situation. His eldest brother is a capable man, and the Jin family's reputation will be inherited by his eldest brother. As for Jin Ziguan himself, he doesn't have any great ambitions in his life, let alone be able to stand out from the crowd, but with the Jin family's wealth, I can live a life free from worries about food and clothing."

Hearing this, Aunt Cheng couldn't help but interject, "He has so little ambition, Wanyu, why don't you look around and see if there's anyone better?"

In Aunt Cheng's opinion, the Jin family was indeed very good. At first, she was very happy that her daughter was able to marry into the Jin family, which must be due to her daily prayers to Buddha.

When Aunt Cheng learned that Jin Ziguan was so unambitious and yet spoke so confidently, she was not very satisfied. She still hoped that her daughter could marry well so that she could hold her head high in the capital.

“Aunt, even if I wanted to marry into a high-ranking family and become the matriarch, you should consider whether I have the ability.” Ye Wanyu was very self-aware. “I don’t have my eldest sister-in-law’s good temper, nor my second sister-in-law’s background and wealth, and I can’t be as tactful as my eldest sister, able to navigate social circles with ease. I’ve always been a straightforward person, sometimes my mouth is faster than my brain. If I really marry a powerful husband, I don’t think I can be a good matriarch and manage such a large family business. I’m afraid that if something doesn’t go my way, I’ll start arguing with people and become the subject of gossip.”

These words silenced Aunt Cheng, because Ye Wanyu was indeed that kind of person.

People are just greedy; when they see something good, they want it to be even better.

Hearing Aunt Cheng sigh, Ye Wanyu also matured. She softened her tone and said, "I know Aunt wants me to live a glamorous life, but everyone has their own destiny. It's already very rare for me to meet someone as compatible as Jin Ziguan."

Ye Wanyu herself also enjoys playing. Since she was young, her eldest sister has always been there to support her, so her stepmother didn't have high expectations for her and her third sister.

She now understands that family background and skills are not the most important things. Character and compatibility are what truly matter. Otherwise, even if they get married, resentment will gradually grow, and they will eventually live together in different places.

"Fine, since you've said that, what else can I do?" Aunt Cheng accepted helplessly. "I just hope you can have your way. I just want you to live a better life. Since you think this is good, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

The rest of the Ye family did not object to the marriage; they all nodded in agreement. The day after Ye Wanning returned home, Madam Jin, accompanied by a matchmaker, came to propose marriage.

Jin Ziguan shouldn't have come, but this kid doesn't follow the usual path. He secretly climbed over the courtyard wall and happened to find the three Ye sisters drinking tea in the garden. He smiled and presented the three Ye sisters with the velvet flowers he had bought, saying, "These velvet flowers are newly fashionable in the capital. I spent a lot of money to find someone to buy them."

Ye Wanning glanced at it; wasn't this what she sold in her shop?
