Chapter 895: Chapter 895: The Cause

Xia Ruqing, amidst her surprise, asked about the origin of this marriage proposal.

”It’s quite unexpected for a family like the Yang Family with such high status.”

She’s not belittling her own sister.

Rather, she knows that such children of noble families,

especially those who are the eldest son meant to fully inherit the family business, have very high standards for a prospective bride.

Whether it’s appearance or demeanor, reputation or family background, there can be no mistake.

And Cai Yang, clearly, doesn’t meet these standards.

Not to mention the incident some time ago that harmed her reputation.

Her status as a daughter from a secondary branch is already a disqualifier.

Thus, Xia Ruqing was quite curious.

Dong’er simply laughed.

”It’s all thanks to our young lady’s cleverness and skills!”

With that, she recounted the whole story.

It turns out that last month,

Lady Bai of the Yang Family happened to encounter Lady Wen and Xia Caiying at the temple.

Because of the previous incident, the two families had some acquaintanceship.

They traveled together, chatting and laughing, making it a pleasant journey.

Everything was going well,

until they were about to leave.

As Lady Yang was boarding the carriage, she suddenly slipped and fell off.

She injured her leg.

Though there was no bleeding, her ankle swelled visibly.

The surrounding maids and old women were all flustered, never having encountered such a situation.

Some were helping her, some went for a doctor.

A few strong old women wanted to carry her away.

Lady Wen, clueless about the situation, stood worriedly at the side.

Only Xia Caiying immediately stepped forward to stop them.

”Don’t move, don’t reposition her!”

”Madam’s foot seems sprained, moving it forcibly could dislocate the bones!”

Then she glanced around.

She found some simple tools and cloth strips to stabilize Lady Yang’s injured foot,

and personally checked it.

Once she was sure it wouldn’t move excessively, she sighed with relief.

”Alright, now we can move her!”

Lady Yang felt her foot wasn’t as painfully aching as before.

Her expression improved, and she held Xia Caiying’s hand.

”Good child, you did well!”

Xia Caiying maintained her unwavering gaze, showing neither submission nor arrogance.

”Madam, please don’t speak now, hurry to see a doctor, the sooner the better!”

Saying this, she directed the old women.

”Hurry up!”

”Take Madam to the nearest clinic promptly! Don’t delay!”

The old women quickly stepped forward upon hearing her directive.

”Thank you, young lady!”

Having said that, they carried Madam into the carriage and hurried away.

Meanwhile, Xia Caiying also departed with Lady Wen.

This was initially just a minor incident, something neither Lady Wen nor her daughter put much thought into.

They avoided sending greetings to the Yang Family to avoid seeming opportunistic.

Because of the gap in stature, they did not want people to think they were using this opportunity to climb up socially.

It’s better to just stay quietly humble.

Unexpectedly, half a month later,

Lady Yang suddenly sent an invitation.

The note first expressed sincere gratitude, then requested a visit, asking if Second Madam Wen and the second young lady would be available.

Lady Wen felt immensely flattered.

”Lady Yang is a Minister’s wife, whereas I...”

Her husband was still stationed in an insignificant place as a Fifth Rank Prefect.

Furthermore, she herself was just from a secondary branch.

How could she be entitled to have a Minister’s Wife visit her?

But she couldn’t refuse either.

Thus she nervously accepted the invitation and started making preparations.

Xia Caiying, however, was not as anxious as her mother.

She continued with her embroidery, reading and writing as usual.

After all, her mother and sister-in-law were there to handle things, it was no business of hers!

Two days later.

Lady Yang truly visited.

She was received by Lady Wen and Lady Ni.

The three women, although not very familiar, exchanged greetings with some laughter before seating in the garden.

Once tea and snacks were served and the maids withdrew,

Lady Yang no longer danced around the topic.

Without hesitation, she expressed her purpose.

”I would like to arrange a marriage for my son with the Xia Family’s second young lady. What do you think?”

This marriage proposal was a serious matter.

Lady Yang spoke decisively, without any ambiguity, indicating she had thought it through.

Opposite her, Lady Wen and Lady Ni were visibly shocked.

Lady Yang quickly offered a smile of apology.

”It’s my fault, too abrupt, I should have sent word ahead!”

”But rest assured, it’s just a suggestion, no outsiders know!”

”If it’s not suitable, it won’t affect the two children at all!”

Only then did Lady Wen and Lady Ni sigh with relief.

Lady Wen was somewhat nervous and unsure of what to say.

”Lady Yang, um... how did you come up with this idea suddenly? My Cai Yang is of secondary birth...”

But Lady Yang just smiled and shook her head.

”Whether primary or secondary doesn’t matter, I’m interested in the girl herself!”

”My son is eighteen this year, already past the age for arranging a marriage, but my husband isn’t in any hurry, claiming that sons from martial families need not marry early!”

Lady Yang spoke with anxiety as she continued.

”You’ve seen, that delay brought my child to this predicament!”

Lady Wen hadn’t met Yang Chenyi often, thus could offer little opinion.

But Manxue had met him,

so she quickly smiled.

”Madam, you should not think that way. Uncle Yang also wants Young Master to succeed!”

”Young Master Yang is skilled in martial arts at a young age, well regarded by the Emperor, which many can only dream of!”

Lady Wen promptly nodded in agreement.

Lady Yang offered a helpless smile.

”Success is one thing, but as a mother, I also want him to start a family soon!”

Previously she had searched for potential matches.

However,

ladies from literary families often prefer to marry into similar families.

Martial families like the Yangs attract few willing brides.

Thus she had to look in families of Third and Fourth Rank.

But the girls from these families did not pique her interest.

They weren’t truly ladies, albeit their outward appearance suggested otherwise.

They were rigid and simplistic at heart, bearing some petty attitudes.

Scheming secretly would not be surprising.

If they married into her family, not only would they not manage household affairs, but also cause chaos among sisters-in-law.

Better not marry at all.

Lady Yang thus scrutinized carefully, without finding someone suitable.

Until she met Xia Caiying last time,

the girl was a revelation to her.

Amid such a chaotic scene, she managed orderly problem-solving.

Far from scared or panicked, she remained calm and collected.

At that moment, Lady Yang knew,

this girl was poised yet precise, nothing like typical subservient secondary daughters.

Later, she conducted thorough inquiries.

It turned out that the girl grew up with Manxue.

She and Manxue’s mother were childhood friends.

She knew Manxue’s mother’s demeanor exceptionally well.

Children taught by Manxue wouldn’t be poor in character.

Therefore,

she made a bold decision.

”It must be her!”
