She had enabled them to get so close.

However, if this cousin was not her real cousin, it would be a little intriguing.

Old Madam Yu suddenly tightened her grip on the edge of the bed. The veins on the back of her wrinkled hand bulged. What do you want?!

Yin Huaixi thought of Ye Hanyuan and said, I want to make Youyao of the Yu Clan my princess consort. I dont want another else in this life. I only want to be with one person. Matriarch, please fulfill my wish.

Old Madam Yus grip on the edge of the bed loosened. She was not surprised. Does Yao Yao know your ident.i.ty?

In this world, there was nothing good for no reason. Yin Huaixi wasnt her real cousin, but he was willing to spend so much effort on Yao Yao. How was he taking care of his cousin? He was clearly chasing his wife.

Yin Huaixi looked up. She knows.

Just now, if he had replied with a no, he would probably have ended like Song Mingzhao back then. He would clearly be kicked out of the door.

Old Madam Yu had taken a fancy to Song Mingzhao because of his family background, character, talent, and sincerity. This was the greatest kindness an elder could show to a junior.

Later on, she had given up on Song Niingzhao not because he was not outstanding enough, but because he was not honest with Yu Youyao.

He was extremely glad that he had always been very calm and honest with Yu Youyao.

After looking into her eyes and saying she knew, Old Madam Yus breathing lightened a little. Does Yao Yao know how you feel?

Yin Huaixi lowered his head again. No.

Knowing how to restrain herself, it seemed that he had put in a lot of effort. Old Madam Yu did not relent. Although marriage is a matter of parents orders and matchmaking, compared to this, Yao Yaos intentions are the most important.

Therefore, she wouldnt make a decision for Yao Yao on her own.

No matter how good a person was, she would not make a decision for her granddaughter if she had a choice.

Yin Huaixi suddenly remembered the nightmare that Yu Youyao had mentioned previously. In the nightmare, she must have been forced to have no choice but to marry into the Zhenguo Marquis Residence.

But!

Yin Huaixi took a deep breath. Matriarch, dont worry. Im the one whos been chosen. He bowed sincerely. Matriarch, please give me a token. In the future, when Yao Yao and 1 are in love, itll be Old Madams last wish. The orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker will be an upright marriage. If Im not fated with Yao Yao in the future, Ill just treat it as a plaything that youve given to the younger generation. Ill naturally consider myself her elder brother and protect her for a lifetime.

He did not have the heart to ask to marry her. If she was entrusted to him, she would be his.

Otherwise, why would he kneel and kowtow? He was just short of asking for a keepsake with all his heart.

Wasnt he just worried that his status would be sensitive and that the Xie family would interfere in Yao Yaos marriage in the future?

With the token as a guarantee, how could the Xie family surpa.s.s Matriarch?

Ye Hanyuans move could even settle his father.

He couldnt settle Old Madam Yu?

He did not believe it!

Okay. Old Madam Yu agreed. Then, she said, l have a condition.

Yin Huaixi quickly said, Matriarch, please speak.

Dont tell Yao Yao about the keepsake for the time being. Old Madam Yu reached out and fumbled on the shelf at the head of the bed. She opened a secret compartment and took out a yellow rosewood box. After I go, escort Yao Yao to the Xie Residence. In the future, you and Yao Yao will depend on

fate.

She did not mention the three letters.

There was no need.

Yin Huaixi really felt that Old Madam Yu doted on Yu Youyao to the core. She had a far-reaching plan. agree.

Old Madam Yu gathered her strength and took out a double fish round pendant from the box. There were two fish, one yellow and one red. They were connected at the head and tail. It looked very much like Yu Youyaos broken longevity lock.

However, the two fishes on the longevity jade were natural, and this piece was exquisitely carved.

She gently bent it, and Yin Huaixi heard a ding. The double fish round pendant was separated. Old Madam Yu handed one of the yellow fishes to Yin

Huaixi and said solemnly, l hope youll keep your promise.

Yin Huaixi held it with both hands as if he had obtained a precious treasure.

Matriarch, dont worry. No matter what, Ill protect her for a lifetime.

Old Madam Yus turbid eyes shone brightly. Go and call Yao Yao in

There was nothing to worry about. After all, she had no choice.

Yin Huaixis alias was Zhou Linghuai. With his crippled body, he had moved into the Yu Residence and stirred up a storm in Great Zhou. With his own strength, he had avenged his father and was in charge of an army of 500,000.

As long as such a person opened his mouth, no one had any room to refuse. He had calmly asked her to marry Yao Yao and made a promise. This was already the best sincerity.

Old Madam Yu suddenly asked, Since youre so thoughtful, why dont you ask the emperor to issue a decree to betroth you? I think the emperor will be happy to see it happen.

She could tell that the two branches of the Yu Residence had already split up. Firstly, the eldest son was not a general, and secondly, Yao Yao was not a court official. Yao Yao was the County Head of Shaoyi. Although the eldest son had great power, it was also bestowed by the emperor. The first branch had received the emperors grace. Not only was the eldest daughter of the first wife no threat to the emperor, but she would also further the relations.h.i.+p with King Yue Fei.

Yin Huaixis expression darkened. Just as Matriarch said, marriage is a matter of parents orders. I naturally hope to obtain your approval. Old Madam Yu nodded, no longer having the strength to speak.

It did not matter if it was King Yue Fei.

At the very least, his intentions were 100% true.

Unlike Song Mingzhao.

He was also full of sincerity, but he was humble in front of her.

When Yu Youyao returned to her room, Old Madam Yus breathing was already very weak.

Take good care of it. Dont lose it. Old Madam Yu placed the red embroidered fish in Yu Youyaos palm, not mentioning that this was a token between her and Yin Huaixi.

This was a relic that she would give her before she died. She thought that her granddaughter would take good care of it without any explanation.

Yu Youyao nodded with a whimper.

Old Madam Yu looked at the door of the screen, her eyes a little disoriented. l just saw your grandfather. He was standing at the door and waving at me, waiting for me to go over. However, I dont want to go over. I want to see your mother. Ive been waiting left and right, but I havent seen her. I think she must resent me, so shes unwilling to see me. Thats good too. When I reach the underworld, Ill have time to repent

Grandmother Yu Youyao was sobbing uncontrollably. She tightened her grip on the jade pendant in her hand so hard that her palm hurt. Grandmother, Grandmother

Old Madam Yus turbid eyes stared at her granddaughter until her vision was blurry and she couldnt see her clearly. Only then did she close her eyes deeply, and two drops of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Grandmother Yu Youyao broke down and cried. She hugged her grandmothers arm and shook it hard.

Not long after, all the descendants of the family came over.

The atmosphere in the room was gloomy and sad.

When Seventh Aunt saw Madam Yao standing in the room without moving, she frowned.. She used to look like a smart person, but why was she so wooden now?
