WFWC Chapter 89

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 89: Spread the Good News to Everyone

“Miss, Miss. Madam Lu is here to propose marriage.” Zhiqiu ran into Ruyi Courtyard in a panic.

At that time, Junfu was teaching Duanmu Yi how to paint.

“Here, this place needs a stronger color, so it looks more vivid.”

When they heard Zhiqiu’s words, they looked up in surprise: “The Lu family is here to propose marriage? For whom?”

Who could persuade the wife of the prime minister to come to propose marriage?

Could it be the Ji family?

Zhiqiu saw her young lady’s face turn red and smiled: “Of course it’s for you, Miss. Madam Ji asked her to come.”

Thinking is one thing, hearing is another.

Then, Jun Fu laughed beside her. “Haha, so that’s how it is. I was wondering why Brother Linfeng said those things to me. It turns out he’s been interested in my cousin for a long time.”

Duanmu Yi and Zhiqiu exchanged glances, and Duanmu Yi asked hurriedly, “Cousin, did the Second Young Master mention me to you?”

“Yes, it was several days ago. He said he saw you on New Year’s Eve.”

Duanmu Yi was quite surprised. So, he had seen her on New Year’s Eve.

Duanmu Yi blushed again, as if she had thought of something, and hurriedly asked Zhiqiu to tidy her up.

It would be disrespectful to meet a guest without tidying up.

Duanmu Yi, wearing a floral dress, arrived at the front hall and saw Madam Lu chatting and laughing with her mother, while her grandmother sat awkwardly to the side.

“Greetings, Madam Prime Minister.” Duanmu Yi took a light step and bowed gracefully to Madam Lu.

When Madam Lu’s eyes fell on the graceful and elegant Duanmu Yi, a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes. She was a rare and wonderful girl. The Second Young Master Ji had good taste.

Madam Lu was not one to keep things in suspense, and she said directly, “Miss Duanmu, I’ve come here today to discuss a great event. I wonder what your impression of the Second Young Master of the Ji family is?”

Duanmu Yi nearly lost control of her emotions. Although she had heard Zhiqiu mention it before arriving, she was still overcome with emotion by Madam Lu’s words.

For years, she hadn’t dared to admit that she couldn’t forget the sight of that man climbing a tree to fetch a kite for her. She had even secretly inquired about the Ji family, but discovered the difference in status between them was significant, which put her mind to it.

To get closer to him, she even secretly learned light kung fu.

After joining the Lin family that day, she had become a lucky charm in the eyes of the noble ladies of the Beijing community. But she had been waking up from her sleep with startles for the past few days, fearing it was all just a dream.

Seeing that her granddaughter didn’t immediately agree, but instead froze in thought, Old Madam Duanmu feared she might disagree. Ignoring the presence of Madam Lu, she stepped forward and quietly reminded Duanmu Yi: “Yi’er, the status of the Marquis’s Mansion is not something that anyone can step on. If you marry into it, you will be the Marquis’s wife in the future. You must be careful, okay?”

Duanmu Yi wanted to say that she was not attracted by the status of the Marquis’s Mansion, but by Ji Linfeng himself.

Old Madam Duanmu’s voice was a little low, but Madam Lu could guess what she said even with her toes. Madam Duanmu and Duanmu Yi seemed to be sensible, but this old lady was a bit difficult to deal with. I hope that when they become relatives in the future, they won’t come to ask for money.

Duanmu Yi flicked her lips towards Madam Lu, blushing as she said, “The Second Young Master Ji is of course very good.”

Old Madam Duanmu slapped her thigh when she heard it. OK, what a sensible girl.

Old Madam Duanmu’s performance really displeased Madam Duanmu, but it was not easy to say anything in front of outsiders.

Madam Lu’s eyes were full of Duanmu Yi, so she didn’t care what the old lady meant. She secretly took Duanmu Yi’s hand and said, “Since Miss Duanmu has no objection, then this matter is settled. I will take this good news back now.”

Mrs. Lu was very happy after getting the matter done, and turned around to tell Mrs. Ji the good news. Mrs. Ji was afraid that Emperor Yu would keep staring at Ji Linfeng at the Queen’s birthday banquet, so she asked Mrs. Lu to bring the betrothal gifts to exchange the engagement letter the next day.

et’s settle this matter first, and as for the other procedures, we can take our time.

When Mrs. Lu went to the Duanmu family again, everyone was outside to greet her, and it was extremely lively. The neighbors all came to join in the fun.

Box after box of generous gifts were carried to the Duanmu family. When they learned that it was the Ji family who came to ask for marriage proposal and inquire about the name, everyone exclaimed that the Duanmu family was lucky.
The news that the Ji family and the Duanmu family were going to get married spread like wildfire in Shengjing overnight. Of course, the Ji family was the one who pushed for it. But they had to spread it hard and it had to reach the ears of Emperor Yu.

The Ji family got what they wanted, and the news was personally passed on to Emperor Yu by the Queen.

“Oh? Ji family? Isn’t the eldest son of the Ji family a lifelong bachelor?”

Upon hearing this, the Queen’s brows moved slightly. Was he hoping that the eldest son of the Ji family would never marry? If Ji Yushu hadn’t been disappointed in him, he wouldn’t have been so decadent.

The Empress suppressed her discomfort and spoke gently, “It wasn’t the eldest son, it was the second son. The eldest son worried about the girl’s loss due to his leg injury. But who can say what will happen next? It’s possible a kind-hearted girl might not dislike the eldest son.”

Emperor Yu nodded, expressionless. “That makes sense. Since the Ji and Duanmu families are marrying, congratulations are due. But isn’t this a bit too soon?”
There had been no news of any interaction between the two families before.

The Empress continued, “That day at the Lin family’s birthday party, the second son Ji spoke up for Duanmu Yi. Young people are naturally impulsive. He said something flattering about the girl. If it had been delayed any longer, how would the girl have felt?”

As the Empress said this, Emperor Yu had already understood the stakes and stopped talking.

How could the Empress not be aware of Emperor Yu’s concerns? Being a ruler is like this, full of concerns.

She, however, didn’t have such a preoccupation. As the saying goes, don’t employ those you doubt, and don’t doubt those you employ.

Since you’ve already used it, don’t do anything that would dishearten others.

“By the way, envoys from the North and South will be arriving in a few days. A princess from the South, and a prince from the North. You’ll be in charge of receiving the princess, and Mo’er will be in charge of receiving the prince.”

“That’s fine.”

Meanwhile, Bei Hengyuan had also heard the news. A mere minister’s daughter posed no threat to him, but because of this incident, Madam Ji would likely return to the Mu Mansion. This presented a rare opportunity.

“If this plan fails again, we’ll directly target the Second Young Master of the Ji family.” Everything concerning the Ji family was changing; this Ji family truly couldn’t be saved.

Bei Hengyuan’s fingers, as slender as white jade, tapped the tabletop rhythmically.

The secret guards behind him responded and left.

Just then, Lone Wolf hurried into Yuehua Palace. “Master, the Madam wishes to see you.”

Bei Hengyuan lowered his eyes, staring at the tea leaves floating in his cup, his gaze unblinking. After a long pause, he softly said, “It’s not too late to go after the Queen’s birthday.”

Lone Wolf understood. The Queen’s birthday was crucial; nothing could change at this moment.

Then Bei Hengyuan asked, “How is the investigation of Jizhou’s affairs going?”

“My lord, we have only found out that Madam Ji and others went to the village where the Yin and Yang Elders lived before entering the city.”

“It seems that the Yin and Yang Elders were exposed at this time. Even if they were exposed, they would not immediately associate it with my mother.”

One thing he couldn’t figure out was that since his mother hadn’t written the note, who wrote the handwriting on the note? Even if someone imitated it, there must be a basis, right? Imitating someone else’s handwriting without any evidence, aren’t you afraid of failure?

Unless someone knows all the plans in advance.
