Chapter 169 The Yuan Family Daughter Won't Marry?
Chapter 171 The Yuan Family Daughter Won't Marry?
Seeing that Yuan Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, actually intended not to marry, it would have been fine if she hadn't married, but she actually caused quite a stir within the entire Yuan family. Even many elders knew about the matter, and now it had even reached their ears. It was truly a disgrace to the Yuan family.
"Since this young lady is unwilling to marry, let's go along with her wishes and give her a push. In any case, we've helped this stubborn girl out of this matter."
Since she was unwilling to marry into the Liu family of Youzhou, where life would be uneasy, it was actually good for the Liu family and a good thing for the young General Xuande.
Yang Biao felt relieved. When he looked at his son Yang Xiu again, the comparison made him realize how truly outstanding his Yang family was.
"Yes, Father."
With a hint of joy in his eyes, Yang Xiu said again as he left, "I hope Father will make preparations quickly. After all, besides the Yuan family, there is also the Wang family, which is an enemy of our family. We must be wary of this."
"clear."
Yang Biao nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, in the mansion of Wang Yun, the Grand Tutor of the Langya Wang Clan, who was also a competitor, he was overjoyed at the news and addressed the Wang family daughters he had already summoned.
Among them were his legitimate daughters, and even his relatives, as well as other noble ladies, but they were all his Wang family members. He said in a deep voice, "Remember, when the marriage between the Yuan family and the Liu family of Youzhou falls through, you must be gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest. Only in this way will you have a chance to be noticed by this General Xuande."
Ultimately, for the Liu family of Youzhou, the Yuan, Yang, and Wang families, though different in strength, are not vastly different, and you still have a chance.
"If the opportunity arises, there are indeed some of my men within the residence of the Grand General of Youzhou, who might be able to become your allies."
Wang Yun rested his chin on his hand, his thoughts now turning to the courtesan Diao Chan.
Diao Chan has now been adopted as his goddaughter in order to win him over. Diao Chan is no longer his private slave, and the contract of sale has been returned to him. His only goal is to take things a step further and befriend General Liu Hong.
Winning someone over with force is unsustainable; winning them over with affection is the only way to maintain a lasting relationship. This was the true method employed by Wang Yun, the Grand Tutor of the court.
Even on a historical timeline.
Wang Yun was no ordinary man either; he was someone who almost saved the entire Han Dynasty from collapse.
If he hadn't been so rigid, arrogant, and inflexible, in the original historical timeline, he might have been able to use the emperor's name to bring back the entire Liangzhou army led by Zhang Ji and Li Cui, and then use this place as a base. With Cao Cao, who was still loyal to the Han Dynasty, and those aristocratic people, he could have rebuilt the Han Dynasty, and these many historical regrets might not have occurred.
"Yes, Uncle, we understand."
Many of the Wang family women nodded frequently, each seemingly having their own plans in mind.
Upon seeing this, Wang Yun revealed a hint of joy and laughed softly as he spoke.
"This Yuan family girl actually doesn't want to marry my son. Otherwise..."
She, Lady Yuan, was even more noble than the daughters of noble families or princesses in the palace.
At this moment, in the inner quarters of the General's mansion, no one dared to whisper, but Wu, Liu Bei's mother, glared angrily with her bright eyes.
With Liu Hong absent, Wu Shi spoke up with her sisters Xu Shi, Mi Lan, Cai Dan, and others, determined to get an explanation. Otherwise, wouldn't the reputation of the Liu family of Youzhou be completely ruined in this family matter?
"Sisters, tell me, isn't this a bit too improper?"
Wu raised her eyebrows slightly, and her pretty face revealed a strong sense of unwillingness.
This important matter is not something she can handle alone, so it naturally requires careful planning. Her best partners are her sisters, with whom she shares both glory and loss.
"This is indeed excessive."
Mi Lan frowned as well, and what she said was anything but polite.
"This Yuan family member considers himself noble, especially this Yuan family daughter. It is probably his fault alone, not the fault of the entire Yuan family. We must not make this matter bigger, otherwise it will be detrimental to my husband and the entire family."
Xu quickly realized this extremely important point.
Cai Dan continued on this topic, explaining further. After all, as a talented woman, she held considerable weight within the family. Even Madam Wu, the eldest daughter-in-law, usually had to listen to her ideas and opinions.
That's true.
Madam Wu nodded, having thought the matter through perfectly, though she still felt a little resentful. "How can I let my son Xuande suffer this injustice for nothing?"
She said this silently to herself.
"It seems that the marriage has changed, and in the end it depends on how my husband and the Liu family view it."
Mi Lan slowly spoke, giving a summary. Then the others looked at Madam Wu, "In the end, only you, sister-in-law, can properly discuss this matter. It's really inconvenient for the rest of us to get involved. At most, we can only discuss it within the inner hall. There's still a big difference between us."
"Leave this matter to me."
Ms. Wu patted her bulging clothes, revealing a rare sense of determination.
She rarely behaves like this, aside from managing the affairs of the inner quarters, making this a truly rare sight.
The other girls nodded in agreement, indicating that they would certainly offer their assistance.
Inside the council hall, Liu Hong sat upright, with almost all the important ministers and generals of the Grand General's Mansion present before him.
However, the ambiguous smiles of the people in the room created an atmosphere that was subtly off.
"What a Yuan family! I really didn't dare to think about it before. This Yuan family is so powerful. What does she take the people of our General's Mansion for?"
Should we just let them play as they please?
This marriage.
Although they have no intention of changing things, what difference would it make whether they did or not?
Cui Yan let out a cold laugh.
Jia Xu remained silent.
Guo Jia had just joined the council chamber. As a new member, he should have been cautious, but he was nothing special.
He wouldn't be Guo Fengxiao then.
"In the end, this matter depends on the attitudes of the Yuan family and the General. You, General, are of utmost importance."
The Yuan family has disciples all over the world, and the name of four generations of high officials is known to all. It would be very inappropriate to ruin the relationship between the two families just because of this little girl. In the end, the greater good should be taken into consideration.

Guo Jia was not entirely without any trace at this moment, and even Jian Yong had changed his bad habits.
As a new member of this General's mansion, he should still maintain the demeanor of a scion of a prominent family.
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu moved his lips slightly before speaking, "The Yuan family wouldn't do something so foolish. General, you should think twice before you act."
