"Miss, what should we do? We must write a letter to the master quickly now." Bai Lu also showed an anxious expression.
The maids in the room were all busy, but Ye Lily was silent. After a moment, she chuckled softly in the surprised gazes of the maids and only said, "This is really strange. Although the family of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites is a fourth-rank official, they have a rich family background. As for the legitimate son of the Wei family, Wei Qian, he is also a good-looking and talented person. Such a good thing has fallen on me. I'm really flattered."
"Miss?" Bai Lu was stunned, "Does the miss think the Wei family is good?"
"Not just good," Ye Lily said lightly, "I'm afraid that when father returns and knows about this marriage proposal, there is no reason to refuse. For the young ladies of official families, Wei Qian is indeed a good person worthy of spending a lifetime with."
"How does the miss know?" Jing Zhe was confused. Ye Lily stayed in the mansion all day. Even when she went out, it was just to Guangwentang. As for the family background of some official and the temperament of the legitimate son, there was no way for her to know. But speaking like this, it seemed very familiar, which made Jing Zhe confused.
For Ye Lily in the boudoir, she naturally didn't know which young master was a good match. But as Empress Shen, she knew clearly which descendants of official families were talented and virtuous. Wei Qian was indeed a good talent and his temperament was also upright. Therefore, when the Wei family proposed marriage and Old Madam Ye agreed to this marriage, Ye Lily would never believe it no matter what.
Just at this moment, Gu Yu trotted in from outside, looking somewhat surprised and said, "Miss, Miss Xi'er from Rong Jing Hall came to convey Old Madam's words and asked you to go to Rong Jing Hall quickly."
"The action is really fast." Ye Lily narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Then let's go and have a look."
In Rong Jing Hall.
Ye Yuanbai was nestled beside Old Madam Shen. These days, Ren Wanyun was busy taking care of Ye Cindy and simply left Ye Yuanbai in Rong Jing Hall. Old Madam Ye loved this grandson very much and naturally doted on him very much. Even towards Ren Wanyun, she was much more pleasant.
Chen Ruoqiu and Ye Amy were not here. Since Ren Wanyun took care of Ye Cindy in the mansion, Chen Ruoqiu temporarily took over the management of the family. Naturally, the task of socializing with the wives of various families on behalf of the Ye family also fell on her. Such a good opportunity, Chen Ruoqiu would naturally not let it go. She took Ye Amy out to socialize every day and also wanted Ye Amy to show her face more in front of the wives of various noble families. This would be much more beneficial for Ye Amy's future marriage.

Ren Wanyun stood at the lower side of the hall, her gaze was deep and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ye Lily was led to Rong Jing Hall by Old Madam Shen's maid Xi'er and greeted Old Madam Shen.
These days, she was grounded and had to copy Buddhist scriptures and kneel before the memorial tablets in the Ye family's ancestral hall every day. Old Madam Ye probably didn't like her either and didn't let her come here to greet. Seeing Old Madam Ye again was before she was grounded.
"Fifth girl, have you been calm in your heart while copying scriptures in the ancestral hall recently?" Old Madam Ye asked.
Hearing this old woman's literary talk suddenly, Ye Lily almost laughed in her heart. If there was anyone in the Ye family who was disrespectful to the elders, Old Madam Ye would be the first. But at this time, she said something about being calm or not. She smiled, "As grandmother wishes."
"That's good," Old Madam Ye pretended to cough lightly. Fu'er quickly handed over a cup of hot tea. She lifted the tea lid and took a sip before looking at Ye Lily and said, "The matter some days ago, although it wasn't your fault, it started because of you. Besides, your temperament is too stubborn. That's why I punished you by grounding and copying scriptures. Do you complain about me in your heart?"
"Ye Lily dare not."
"I know you are a sensible girl." Old Madam Ye gave her a satisfied look, "You are so sensible and also a girl of my Ye family. I will naturally love you. Seeing that you have reached the age of getting married, today the Wei family, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came to propose marriage for the legitimate son of the Wei family. They asked for you. Do you think it's good?"
If it weren't the wrong time, Ye Lily would really almost laugh out loud. People like Old Madam Ye probably had only limited knowledge all her life in the place of romantic affairs. How could an elder of a family ask their granddaughter so blatantly, "Do you think it's good?" She didn't know what Old Madam Ye was thinking.
"Marriage is arranged by parents and matchmaker's introduction," Ye Lily smiled, "My marriage is naturally the concern of my parents."
"You girl!" Old Madam Ye almost got angry when she hit a soft nail. Hearing the soft cough reminder from Ren Wanyun on the side, she slowed down and changed to a calm expression and said, "You girl, you are really too任性. Originally you were in love...Forget it. Now seeing that you seem to be much more sensible these days, I think you know the limits. This Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites' family is a good match for us. That young master of the Wei family, Wei Qian, is also a handsome and talented hero. This marriage proposal, even your father wouldn't say anything bad. You have grown up to this age and this is the first time such a family has come to propose marriage. If you don't seize the opportunity well, that young master of the Wei family will become someone else's husband in a blink of an eye."
