Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After Xiao Baili entered, Xi Rui turned around and ran back to the Public House excitedly.

He was so excited and happy that he could not control himself at all.

After returning to the High Duke’s Public House, he panted all the way to his grandmother’s courtyard.

At this moment, the Xi family’s womenfolk were all in the old lady’s courtyard, preparing to accompany her to finish her meal.

They were still talking about how Xi Rui had embarrassed the young lady of the Yan Family.

The old lady didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. “This child’s personality is really too straightforward. He always speaks the truth.” “It’s better to let him be more tactful in the future.”

The madams and young ladies in the other rooms: “…” In the old lady’s place, everything Xi Rui did was fragrant.

Although they were also on Xi Rui’s side, they all felt that he had a sharp tongue today.

Who would have thought that her precious grandson would be telling the truth to the old lady?

“Rui’er is usually very polite to women. Since he’s making fun of Miss Yan like this, it must be because she said something unpleasant.” The princess wife chuckled.

Then, she changed the topic. “My Rui’er just likes to play. He’s also the noble and honorable Di Young Master of the High Duke’s Public House. What right does she have to look down on Rui’er?”

She had heard about what happened in the afternoon and their conversation.

When she heard Miss Yan say that her son was a silkpants, she guessed that Miss Yan looked down on her son.

Since they looked down on him, why did the Yan Family still come to get married?

“Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can marry into our Public House.”

Then, she snorted coldly. “And she said that she’s never seen Baili attend a banquet before. I’ll hold a banquet in two days and invite Baili over. I won’t invite her.”

In her heart, Xiao Baili was very likely to become her daughter-in-law, and she could not allow others to slander her.

Old Madam Yan agreed. “This young lady of the Yan Family is just a little famous in the capital. That’s why she’s so arrogant. If he marries her, she’ll be a

troublemaker. I don’t like her.”

If she looked down on her grandson and married him, she would definitely treat him coldly and badly. Her family could not afford it.

“I think Xiao Baili is much better than Miss Yan. She’s beautiful, elegant, and charming. She’s the best match for our Rui’er.”

Two days ago, the Empress Dowager summoned Kong Yuelan and Xiao Baili. She was also in the palace.

Therefore, she looked at Xiao Baili a little more and was very satisfied.

She had seen that Young Lady Yan before. She had never thought of marrying her precious grandson with her aloof personality.

Xi Rui heard this as soon as he entered the house. He quickly walked in and approached the old lady. “Grandmother has good taste. Baili is much better than Miss Yan.”

How could that kind of condescending woman be compared to the approachable Baili?

The old lady saw him running in and saying this. She smiled and poked his head. “You’re so sweet.”

Then she found Xi Rui’s forehead was covered in sweat. She took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat for him. “Why are you sweating all over?” “I ran back,” said Xi Rui with a smile.

“Grandmother, I want to marry Baili. Can you and Mother help me propose marriage?”

Then, he looked at the princess consort. “Mother, to show our family’s importance, how about you personally go to propose marriage?

The old lady and the princess consort were stunned. “Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that your wife will run away?”

Xi Rui snorted. “Today, a few young masters ran into Baili. Even the Sixth

Prince interfered. I have to do it quickly so that they won’t think about it.”

The princess consort raised her hand and pointed at him. “You are really impatient.”

“But it’s good to be anxious. I was just about to tell your grandmother about this.”

She heard that many families had gone to the Xiao Family to propose marriage to Xiao Baili, so she wanted to discuss it with the old lady.

Previously, she thought that Xiao Baili’s family had just arrived in the capital and would be busy with the marriage with King Yi. That was why she didn’t go and propose.

However, they did not expect that they would be one step ahead. They could not be any slower.

Just as she was about to do so, her son came to her and asked for her hand in marriage.

The princess consort wasn’t jealous because her son valued Xiao Baili. Instead, she was happy that her son had finally come to his senses.

He had never been close to women before, and he even objected to the marriage. Sometimes, she was worried that her son was abnormal.

Now that her son had finally opened his eyes and wanted to marry a wife, she was really relieved.

“This brat finally knows how to be anxious,” said the old lady with a smile.

In the past two years, she had been worried about her precious grandson’s marriage. Previously, her grandson had refused to get married, and she was so anxious.

Now that he finally knew how to be anxious, it was a joyous occasion.

“Tomorrow, let your mother personally go to the Xiao Family to propose marriage. We will definitely help you settle down with Xiao Baili.”

It was rare for her grandson to finally have a woman that he sincerely liked. He had to marry her.

Xi Rui immediately massaged the old lady’s shoulders. “Grandmother is the best.”

The old lady enjoyed her grandson’s service and said with a smile, “Of course. I love you the most in this family.”

Everyone present agreed with this. In the entire Xi Family, Xi Rui was definitely the old lady’s most precious grandson. Everyone had to be ranked at the back.

The Xi Family was happy to see the marriage with the Xiao Family.

Therefore, Xi Rui’s aunts teased him with a smile, and so did his two sisters-in-law. Obviously, they didn’t mind Xiao Baili, their future sister-in-law. Please visit 𝒇𝚛𝙚𝙚𝘸𝙚𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎𝘭. c𝑜𝘮

The Xi Family didn’t look down on Xiao Baili’s previous identity as a farmer’s daughter. It didn’t matter where a hero came from, as long as she was doing well now.

The key was that Xi Rui liked her. Otherwise, even if the princess wanted to marry him, their family wouldn’t accept her.

If the old lady and the princess consort agreed, the old master and the prince would naturally not object.

Regardless of whether it was because of her son’s request or because she valued Xiao Baili, the princess consort really sent a visiting card to the Xiao Family the next day.

After Xiao Baili returned home yesterday, she had informed her family that Xi Rui would ask the High Duke’s Public House to propose marriage.

Therefore, when Concubine Kong received the invitation, she invited the princess wife to the Xiao manor as a guest.

When the princess wife arrived at the Xiao Family, she had always been amiable. She did not use her status to act pretentious.

He and Kong Yuelan hit it off at first sight. Both of them wanted to get closer to each other and got along very well.

The princess wife also saw Xiao Baili and liked her from the bottom of her heart. She always felt that this kind of woman was the most suitable for her youngest son.

Not only did she come to propose marriage, but she also took the initiative to promise that she wouldn’t interfere with Xi Rui’s affairs in the backyard. As long as he didn’t want to, she wouldn’t let her son take a concubine, and she wouldn’t give her son a concubine.

The princess consort was also experienced. Although her husband did not care about women, he still had a few concubines in the backyard. There were also sons and daughters of concubines.

Although she would not treat them harshly, she could not really like the children of concubines and concubines.

Therefore, she never took the initiative to take concubines for her sons. She also rarely interfered with the backyard of her first two sons.

Her youngest son said that he only liked Xiao Baili and would not take concubines. He just wanted the backyard to be quiet, so she naturally would not object.

In order to show the Xi Family’s sincerity, they had promised Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili in advance..
