The days were getting colder and colder. The late autumn had passed and soon it was winter. This year's General's Mansion was particularly desolate. Ye Lily was grounded in the Ye Mansion. Ye Cindy was ill in bed. Every day only Ye Amy went to Guangwen Hall. Even at the later Mid-Autumn Banquet, only Chen Ruoqiu took Ye Amy there. Naturally, it was Ye Amy who was in the limelight. But these things had nothing to do with Ye Lily anyway.

However, as time passed, Ye Cindy's matter couldn't be delayed anymore. Ren Wan Yun asked Doctor Chen to prescribe some pills, which reduced Ye Cindy's vomiting symptom a lot. Others couldn't notice any problem, but if it continued like this, eventually, paper couldn't wrap fire.

"This won't do," Ren Wan Yun frowned and pressed her forehead: "We have to think of a way to let Qing'er go out to avoid for a while." And bring Ye Cindy back after giving birth to the child. To avoid being noticed, they could say that Ye Cindy was infected with a serious illness. After the storm passed, perhaps there would be peace.

"But the girl's body is like this now. If sent out, she will inevitably suffer." Xiang Lan was a little worried: "Besides, this round trip will definitely take some time and the girl's youth will also be delayed..."

Ren Wan Yun frowned. Yes, Ye Cindy was already sixteen years old in nominal age. One more year and she would be seventeen. Among the daughters in Dingjing City, it was actually just right to get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. But Ye Cindy was the daughter of an official family. The in-laws she was to choose were naturally from noble families. Waiting for another year, I'm afraid all the good noble sons would have been chosen by others.

"Yuan'er won't be able to come back until the end of the year. But Qing'er's body can't be delayed now." There was a hint of malice in Ren Wan Yun's eyebrows.

"Madam," Cai Ju, who had been silent on one side, spoke: "The servant heard that the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of the Central Secretariat, the Wei family, has recently communicated with the third madam. It seems that she wants to come to our mansion to propose marriage for the eldest son of the Wei family. They are asking for the fifth young lady."

"Ye Lily!" Ren Wan Yun gritted her teeth: "She has such good luck!" The Minister of the Ministry of the Central Secretariat was a fourth-rank official. Although for someone like Ye Xin, a first-rank military officer, to propose marriage was simply overreaching. But Wei Qian, the eldest son of the Wei family, was a young man with both talent and good looks. To marry a stupid girl in Dingjing City, at least in terms of talent, he was definitely worthy of Ye Lily. Moreover, Wei Qian had already entered the official career at a young age. I'm afraid he will surely achieve great success in the future. To propose marriage was simply Ye Lily's great luck.

"I heard that the Wei family intends to attach themselves to the mansion," Cai Ju said: "So they are willing to use their son to exchange for the opportunity to be friendly with the Ye family." The meaning in Cai Ju's words was that she regarded Ye Lily as a very despicable person and very unworthy of that Young Master Wei.

"It's also her luck." Ren Wan Yun's face was somewhat distorted. For so many years, although Ye Xin's official prestige was great, there were almost no people who came to the Ye mansion to propose marriage for Ye Lily. For no other reason, it was precisely because Ye Lily herself was too weak and stupid. With Ye Xin's achievements, the husband Ye Lily was to find must also be from a noble family of the same level. But among the noble families, they really couldn't accept such a mistress who was almost a laughingstock in Ming Qi.

So even though Ye Xin had achievements, Ye Lily was still ignored.

Now the Wei family suddenly came to propose marriage. Although Cai Ju said it was to attach themselves, if you think carefully, it was probably because Ye Lily's performance at the school field that day made everyone's eyes shine. The original stupid appearance had changed, which made the Wei family couldn't help but make a move.

Even in the past, Ren Wan Yun wouldn't tolerate such a good marriage falling on Ye Lily. Not to mention that Ye Cindy was in this situation now, she couldn't bear to see Ye Lily, the initiator, have a good life.

"Madam, there's no need to worry," Xiang Lan said: "Old Madam will definitely not agree to this marriage."

In the General's Mansion, Old Madam Ye was the first to hate the eldest branch. There was nothing they could do to Ye Xin. But Old Madam Ye could secretly hold Ye Lily's marriage in her hands. In the past, with Ren Wan Yun's management, Ye Lily's name of being stupid spread all over Ming Qi. Now that Ye Lily has washed away the title of being generally stupid and someone came to propose marriage, with Old Madam Shen's scheming, she would surely find a way to dispel their thoughts.

"With her lowly life, how could she enjoy such good luck? I'm afraid she will die in the room before getting married." Ren Wan Yun's words were also vicious. She looked at the closed door of the inner room. Ye Cindy stayed in the room every day and didn't want to see anyone. A trace of resentment flashed in her heart: "But the master actually hopes to marry Qing'er to that kind of person!"

Ye Gui still didn't know about Ye Cindy's pregnancy. Ren Wan Yun didn't plan to tell him either. Ye Gui was such a cold-hearted person. Now that Ye Cindy had lost her innocence, he could still tolerate it. But if he knew about Ye Cindy's pregnancy, he would definitely force Ye Cindy to lose the child regardless of her body.

But even so, Ye Gui was afraid that the matter would be exposed. He even urged Ren Wan Yun to find a marriage for Ye Cindy. As long as Ye Cindy was married early and the other party was from a noble family, it would be fine. So after choosing and choosing, they chose the youngest son of the Young Minister Huang Dexing of the Ministry of Works.

Speaking of the Huang family, their family status was actually one level higher than the Wei family. Naturally, there was endless wealth and honor. But compared to the Wei family, both the master and the madam of the Huang family were not easy-going. And Huang Dexing was even a homosexual who liked men.

Because of this, the Huang family didn't care much about choosing a daughter-in-law. As long as the daughter-in-law had a gentle temperament and could turn a blind eye to Huang Dexing's dissolute affairs, they didn't care about anything else.
