That fellow actually gave her such a thing!

Why? Did he despise her for being small? How did he know she—

Yu Wan realized something. She first looked at her shoes and then at her clothes.

Could it be that he had “measured” the size of this place? What was it measured with? The eyes or…

Yu Wan clenched her fists tightly.

… Hooligan!

On the other hand, after Guo Xianyue returned to the old residence with the colored thread, she bumped into Du Jinhua, who came out of the kitchen.

Du Jinhua was originally a glutton. After eating at the Yu family’s house, she couldn’t control her appetite and went to the kitchen to take a look. She found another bowl of pickled vegetables and cornbread.

“Do you want some?” Du Jinhua took a bite of the cornbread in her hand and handed the bowl in her other hand to Guo Xianyue.

Guo Xianyue looked at Du Jinhua’s shameless appearance and said helplessly, “Mother, aren’t you full from dinner?”

“Can’t I be hungry again?” Of course, Du Jinhua wouldn’t admit that the Yu family’s food was too delicious. They had to leave after the house was repaired. She had to eat her fill before she left.

“Mother, you…” Guo Xianyue hesitated.

“What’s wrong with me?” Du Jinhua looked at her unhappily.

Guo Xianyue lowered her eyes. “Nothing. I’ll go back to my room first.”

She walked past Du Jinhua, who stopped her. “Wait, what are you holding?”

“Cousin Wan’s colored thread,” Guo Xianyue said as she opened her palm.

Du Jinhua took it and took a look. She immediately said in surprise, “Such a good thread. Don’t return it after you’re done using it. Take it to my room!”

How could she not return it? She still had to look for Cousin Wan. Besides, this was inappropriate. Guo Xianyue said earnestly, “Mother, have you forgotten Cousin Wan’s temper? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll beat you up if you take her things?”

“She dares?” Even so, Du Jinhua thought of Guo Xianqiao’s miserable state and finally did not mention taking the colored thread away. “Don’t leave yet. I have something to tell you.”

“What else is there?” Guo Xianyue asked.

Du Jinhua said, “I’ve discussed it with your father. When the weather is warm, we’ll go to the Luo family and settle your marriage with your cousin.”

“Mother!” Guo Xianyue’s beautiful face turned pale.

Du Jinhua took a bite of her cornbread and said, “You can choose between your eldest cousin and second cousin. However, your eldest cousin is the eldest son. In the future, when he inherits the family business, he will definitely be more promising than your second cousin. However, your second cousin is a good student. In the future, when he takes the imperial examination or something, you will be an official’s wife.”

What was going on? That fool from the Luo Family couldn’t even pass the Elementary Scholar examination, so how could he be a Scholar?

The eldest cousin of the Luo family was even worse. Every time she went to his house, he would look at her with those lecherous eyes. If she hadn’t dodged quickly, he might have done something to her!

However, she did not dare to say this. Even if she did, her mother would not believe her. She would even anger her aunt.

A figure as elegant as moonlight suddenly appeared in Guo Xianyue’s mind. It was the scholarly young master she had met by the fish pond who could not help but glance at her. However, that Young Master Wan had never been indecent from the beginning to the end. He was really a gentleman. Besides, didn’t Cousin Wan say that he was knowledgeable?

In her opinion, Young Master Wan was the one who could rise up in the ranks. If she married him…

Guo Xianyue’s cheeks burned again. This kind of thing was really embarrassing. But no matter what, with her talent and looks, she should be worthy of a good person like Young Master Wan.

A mother knew her daughter best. Du Jinhua felt that something had happened when she saw her daughter’s youthful appearance.

Du Jinhua narrowed her eyes. “You have someone in mind?” It had better not be that poor Yu Feng. Otherwise, she would break his legs!

Guo Xianyue pulled her mother into the house and whispered to Du Jinhua about meeting Young Master Wan.

“You’re talking about the new scholar?” Du Jinhua had heard of this gentleman. Not only did he know the county magistrate, but he was also good at studying. His family could also hire servants. He seemed to be from a rich family. “I wonder how he compares to the Luo Family.”

Guo Xianyue said righteously, “How can the Luo brothers be compared to Young Master Wan? You didn’t see him. If you did, you wouldn’t care about Cousin Luo anymore.”

Du Jinhua trusted her daughter’s taste. Moreover, when those villagers who came to help out at the Yu Family mentioned Young Master Wan, they all called him “Quasi-Top Scholar”. Since Young Master Wan wanted to be the top scholar, wouldn’t her daughter be the wife of the top scholar if she married him?

“But…” Du Jinhua suddenly thought of something. “Young Master Wan seems to have a child.”

Du Jinhua had nothing to do and always wandered around the village. Once, she happened to see the three little fellows coming out of the Ding Family’s old mansion. “I’ve never heard the villagers mention it. Perhaps they’re other people’s children.”

The three little fellows did not walk around the village. Only Du Jinhua saw them by chance when she was free. Others did not know.

“Then if it’s his, he’ll be a widower,” said Du Jinhua. A man with a child. His wife had either run away or died.

Guo Xianyue turned around and whispered, “I don’t care.” To be able to marry a man like Young Master Wan, it was fine even if she raised his child.

Du Jinhua did not take the three children seriously at all. So what if they were Young Master Wan’s flesh and blood? Her daughter was so smart, how could she not control the three little ones? When her daughter had her own flesh and blood, she would find a reason to send the three little ones away. What was so difficult about that?

Du Jinhua only felt that it was a pity for her daughter to marry a widower since she was so beautiful. However, if the other party could really become the top scholar, this grievance would be nothing.

“But Mom, we don’t know him.” How should she talk about marriage? It wasn’t good for a woman like her to shamelessly ask for marriage from the groom’s family.

Du Jinhua clicked her tongue. “My silly daughter, don’t you take a look at your own face? In all the villages, is there anyone who looks more like a rich family’s daughter than you? He’s a scholar. Would he marry a country bumpkin if he doesn’t marry you?”

Guo Xianyue blushed and lowered her head. “Cousin Wan… Cousin Wan is also beautiful.”

Du Jinhua rolled her eyes. “Hmph, what’s the use of being beautiful when she’s a broken shoe that someone had broken off the engagement with? Which man would dare to want her? Besides, I heard that she’s no longer clean. How is she like my daughter? Just put your heart back into your stomach. Young Master Wan will definitely come and marry you!”
