Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1321 - 541: Matchmaking (Part 3)

Yuehuan asked: "Didn’t you make your brother-in-law promise not to take a concubine that day?"

Yueyao shook her head and said: "No. I still maintain that whether a man takes a concubine or not depends not only on the man’s character but also on the wife. If you insist, I can have someone ask about this. However, I still believe that this condition holds no real significance."

Yuehuan lowered her head and pondered for a long time.

Xiang Wei, on the side, said: "Actually, Zeng Dazhuang is a really good candidate. At just twenty-six, he’s already a Fourth-Rank official. Moving up won’t be a problem in the future. The most crucial point is that Zeng Dazhuang only has one daughter and no sons. A daughter’s only concern is her dowry. Without a son, there won’t be any future disputes. That’s why An Zhichen stepped in; otherwise, given Zeng Dazhuang’s current status, marrying a young, unwed woman wouldn’t be difficult at all."

Yueyao said: "You don’t need to worry about his character; your brother-in-law is quite accurate in judging people. If you’re interested, meet him. If not, then there’s no need."

According to Yuehuan’s original intention, she didn’t want to remarry. However, that man named Yu came to her repeatedly, annoying her greatly. That Yu family already had three concubines and a tough mother-in-law and sister-in-law to deal with. Since she had no inclination towards being mistreated, there’s no way she’d be interested in such a man. But her cheap father valued this Yu person highly and had the idea of marrying her to him. Seeing the situation, if she didn’t agree soon, her father might force her hand.

Yuehuan had thought about leaving the Capital City, but she also knew that her comfortable life there was mainly due to Yueyao’s protection. If she were to leave for another place, she’d be unfamiliar with the territory and vulnerable as a widow with children. After hesitating for a moment, Yuehuan said: "Then let’s meet."

Yueyao nodded and said: "Then pick a day to meet. Don’t overthink it; if it’s not a good match, just say so." Her role was only to facilitate the meeting; there was no obligation for Yuehuan to agree. It’s Yuehuan’s life to lead, so it’s most important to consider her own wishes.

Hearing this, Yuehuan felt a bit more at ease. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Two days later, Yuehuan met with Zeng Dazhuang. Upon seeing Yuehuan, Zeng Dazhuang was utterly captivated, speechless.

His expression was such that it made Yuehuan laugh. Although Yueyao had spoken on his behalf, Yuehuan voiced her concerns: "Lord Zeng, I told my third sister that if I were to remarry, the other party must agree to two conditions: First, I must bring my son Chenghong with me, and second, the other party must not take concubines." She omitted the condition regarding her parents being deceased.

Zeng Dazhuang agreed without hesitation.

Zeng Dazhuang’s quick consent left Yuehuan a bit uncertain.

Zeng Dazhuang smiled and said: "My mother often told us brothers that when we marry, we should live well with our wives and not have wandering thoughts. If you stray and engage in affairs behind your wife’s back, the family will fall apart. Hence, I’ve never considered taking a concubine."

Yuehuan was curious about why Zeng Dazhuang’s mother would say such things.

Zeng Dazhuang didn’t hide it and said: "My grandfather ruined the household by taking a concubine back in the day." He didn’t elaborate further.

Yuehuan felt a bit embarrassed: "I’m sorry."

Zeng Dazhuang chuckled and said: "There’s no need for you to apologize; it’s not your fault. Besides, everything happened so long ago, and both my grandmother and mother have passed. It’s ancient history now."

From this, Yuehuan could tell that he was straightforward, not underhanded, making it very easy to interact with him. In truth, Yuehuan was also straightforward by nature, but the environment had forced her to hide her true self in these times.

Yuehuan felt some fondness for Zeng Dazhuang but was still wary, worried that she was only seeing one side of him.

Yueyao laughed and said: "Don’t worry! With me and your brother-in-law around, he won’t dare bully you." Yueyao’s words clearly offered Yuehuan a strong backing.

After hesitating, Yuehuan said: "Third sister, let me think about it again." Remarrying was a lifelong decision and couldn’t be made based on one meeting.

Yueyao laughed: "There’s no rush; take your time, and let me know your decision in a few days." From Yuehuan’s attitude, it seemed highly likely that the marriage would take place.
