The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 176: Marrying Yun Ling to Yuan Changan

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Marrying Yun Ling to Yuan Changan

Second courtyard of the main house.

Mrs. Guan was also worrying on behalf of Mingzhu.

"That house is quite expensive, and since it’s a return gift, there can’t be a big price difference. We can’t let others suffer a loss."

This was also what troubled Mingzhu.

She has estates, fertile fields, and prosperous shops under her name, and she also has quite a few gold, silver, and jade items worth a lot.

Finding something of equal value isn’t difficult, actually.

But these items aren’t special, and giving them in return seems too deliberate.

Also, you should cater to preferences when giving gifts, and the Yuan Family doesn’t lack any of these.

Yun Ling saw their worries.

She couldn’t help but suggest, "Isn’t Young Master Yuan a scholar? You can give him ancient books and paintings; he should like that."

The Yuan Family has been passing down its heritage through farming and reading, and they have filled a small building with books and paintings.

Getting something that can catch Yuan Changan’s eye isn’t an easy task.

Mingzhu said in a melancholy tone, "Is it that easy to find such things?"

"Ask my elder brother to help you find them."

In Yun Ling’s opinion, her elder brother is the most capable person who can accomplish anything.

"He’s busy." Mingzhu declined.

Yun Ling covered her mouth and giggled, "Sister Mingzhu, you really care about my brother, you even know to feel sorry for him!"

"You cheeky girl, how dare you make fun of me!"

Mingzhu’s earlobes turned red as she went to pinch Yun Ling’s face.

Mrs. Guan watched their playfulness with a smile, and only spoke to stop them after a good while.

"One is a new wife, and the other is a girl waiting for marriage. How can they still act like children, sitting and acting so unsightly, with no demeanor of dignity and steadiness?"

Yun Ling hid behind Mrs. Guan, covering her flushed cheeks that were pinched.

"Sister Mingzhu, you repay kindness with enmity!"

Mingzhu chuckled, "Aunt, Yun Ling is full of energy and probably can..."

Before she finished her sentence, Yun Ling jumped over and covered her mouth.

She made a funny face and said in a voice that seemed to enjoy stirring up trouble: "Young Master Yuan gave you a house, which shows his affection. Sister Mingzhu, your return gift should also be heartfelt; otherwise, you can cook a few dishes for Young Master Yuan and send them over. I bet Young Master Yuan will cherish and eat them all... no, he might not even eat them, but put them on display as treasures!"

"Xie Yunling, you traitor!"

Yun Zhen walked in with a stern face.

Letting his wife give homemade food to his rival.

Could anyone come up with such an idea?

Due to Mingzhu, the relationship between the second house and Yun Zhen became quite close.

But Yun Ling was still afraid of him.

Instinctively, she hid in Mingzhu’s arms, looking innocent, and whispered, "Sister Mingzhu, save me..."

Yun Ling hadn’t fully grown.

Petite in stature.

At this moment, she was like a small bird clinging to a person, forcefully burrowing into Mingzhu’s embrace.

In doing so, she inevitably brushed against Mingzhu’s chest.

It made Yun Zhen’s eye twitch.

Although Yun Ling was a girl, he still felt like his territory was being invaded.

"Aren’t you going to get up?"

Yun Ling refused, "She’s my sister. So what if I hug her?"

"Do you even know how heavy you are? She can’t hold you."

Yun Ling said proudly, "That’s because you don’t understand Sister Mingzhu. She’s strong and can pick me up and spin me around."

When Yun Zhen first met Mingzhu, she had been sick for quite a long time.

Even after her health improved, in his eyes, Mingzhu was still a delicate woman.

Surely her legs would be numb, given Yun Ling leaning all over her.

He pinched the back of Yun Ling’s neck and lifted her from Mingzhu’s embrace.

The whole process was like picking up a kitten or puppy.

Yun Ling flushed with embarrassment, "If Sister Mingzhu were to marry Young Master Yuan, he definitely wouldn’t treat me like this!"

Yun Zhen sat down beside Mingzhu nonchalantly, his tone leisurely, "Too bad, he will never marry your Sister Mingzhu in this lifetime."

Yun Ling, gathering unexpected courage, asked Mingzhu, "Sister Mingzhu, do you not plan to remarry in this lifetime?"

Mingzhu felt a headache coming on, "Don’t drag innocent people into your sibling squabbling."

Yun Zhen corners his lips into a smile, his words carrying a hint of laughter, "My dear wife, don’t spare her any face. Just say you love me and let her give up on this idea."

Yun Ling snorted, "I think Sister Mingzhu is sparing you face; Young Master Yuan is elegant and graceful like a piece of warm jade. The woman who marries him will surely be happy."

Yun Zhen didn’t mind.

Leaning his body against the chair back, he tapped the armrest calmly.

"Is he really that good?"

"Of course, my mother and aunt speak highly of him!"

Mrs. Guan reprimanded, "Little girls, why do you gossip like chatterboxes? If you continue to speak nonsense, I will have to punish you."

Yun Ling stuck her tongue out, "Who let elder brother bully others."

She was just hugging Sister Mingzhu, and he was displeased.

Does he really think Sister Mingzhu is just his alone?

She glared secretly at Yun Zhen; this person was so domineering!

Yun Zhen had a faint smile on his lips, appearing gentle. Seeing him like this, Mingzhu knew he was up to no good.

She looked at Yun Ling with sympathy.

Picked up the tea and sipped it, pretending to be a bystander.

"Since he is so good, why not wait for you to come of age, and let elder brother decide to marry you to Yuan Changan."

"Cough, cough..."

Mingzhu, who was drinking tea, choked.

Yun Ling was also dumbfounded. How old is Yuan Changan, and how young is she...

That was terrifying!

Yun Zhen took away the teacup from Mingzhu’s hand and hurriedly patted her back.

"Why are you so careless?"

Mingzhu was choked, unable to speak, glaring at him with her eyes.

Her gaze questioned: Was it her carelessness, or was what he said too shocking!

With her throat uncomfortable, a layer of mist covered Mingzhu’s eyes.

The pitiful appearance made Yun Zhen inappropriately think of her appearance on the couch.

In the same way, eyes glistening with tears.

Cheeks flushed with a tint of rouge...

Seeing Mingzhu’s moist lips again, he darkened his gaze.

The action of patting her back became even more gentle.

He had been so busy lately, adhering to abstinence, he almost felt like a monk.

He wondered if Mingzhu missed it.

He certainly did.

Once affairs here were concluded, they’d return to the East Courtyard.

While time was still ample, they could do it multiple times.

Yun Zhen felt bashful, thinking he was not human.

Mingzhu had choked, yet he was thinking about that...

Cleared his throat, "I was just teasing her, giving Yuan Changan a return gift doesn’t mean I’d give away my sister."

Mingzhu finally caught her breath, saying crossly, "Can’t you stop being so scary?"

First talking about making a match for Yuan Changan.

Then wanting to marry off Yun Ling.

What’s going on in his head?

Yun Ling echoed, "Exactly, even if all the men in the world were gone, I wouldn’t want anyone who has been engaged to Sister Mingzhu!"

It wasn’t that she despised Yuan Changan.

It’s just that it would be too awkward.

Men with two legs run everywhere, no need to fixate on a small handful.

Mrs. Guan was amused and exasperated, "Even as a joke, it shouldn’t be said in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Yun Zhen acted obedient, "I won’t say it anymore."
