Although Dong Yuluo had heard about her aunt before, Mrs. Dong didn't ask much about it, so she only knew about the external reasons. This was the first time she heard about these internal details. She listened particularly carefully and held Mrs. Tang's arm with a smile on her face.

curious.

Mrs. Tang continued, "Guanshi Yan came back to reply. After hearing this, my heart dropped. I quickly called your aunt over for questioning. Your aunt told me that she just met Bai Sanlang by chance at West Lake, and she didn't say a word at the time.

He said that after seeing his handsome young man, Bai Sanlang looked at your aunt a few more times, and his eyes were very warm. After that, Bai Sanlang asked someone to inquire about her home and wrote two letters.

My aunt was shy and didn't reply. I felt relieved, knowing that it was still too late to stop me. Unexpectedly, I underestimated Bai Sanlang's determination. He actually came to ask for his hand in marriage. Naturally, I refused to agree, but he still refused.

I was willing to back down. I later gave him two difficult questions. The first was that he was not allowed to take concubines and raise his aunt for life. The second was that for future marriages of his children, he had to ask the Tang family for their advice before agreeing.

, I didn’t expect him to agree without even thinking about it. I couldn’t help but like the impatient look on his face. Seeing that he had made up his mind, I knew it would be difficult to change it, so I secretly asked your aunt again.

She was also willing to think about it, so I knew I couldn't control it. I simply asked Bai Sanlang to go back to Bai's house to ask his father for permission, and then sent a matchmaker to propose the marriage openly. Bai Sanlang immediately rushed back to the house.

Hai. I originally thought that Mr. Bai might not really like our Tang family, and I hoped that he would interfere with it and disrupt the marriage. Who knew that he couldn't defeat his own son, so he finally agreed and invited him within a few days.

The matchmaker is here." At this point, Mrs. Tang sighed heavily, "What an injustice. If I had been more resolute at that time, maybe what happened later would not have happened."

"What does this have to do with you?" Dong Yuluo saw the self-blame in her tone, and comforted her softly, "Aunt and uncle are willing to do it themselves. Even if you step in and insist on stopping them, you will only create two problems.

It's nothing more than a grudge. Now that my aunt is living in the Tang family, Brother Zhi and Rong Xuan have you and your uncle to take care of their food and clothing. What's wrong? At least my aunt is resentful and only hates people from the Bai family, but she has nothing to do with my uncle."

Mrs. Tang nodded when she heard this, "You are right. It would be better if the Bai family did not interfere with Brother Zhi and Rongxuan's affairs. Brother Zhi is also old. When he comes back after completing his studies, I will find him a virtuous and capable person."

I will find a good wife for Rongxuan, and then I will feel relieved when I see them get married and start a business."

"Really?" Dong Yuluo deliberately teased her, "You don't care about Brother Xun and Xueru's marriage anymore? Don't you want to see your great-grandson?"

Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. That is your uncle and aunt's responsibility to worry about. I am too lazy to worry about it."

The two people on the carriage talked intimately all the way, and the originally long and boring drive became much more interesting. The sound of rain outside gradually became smaller, and the carriage entered the city of Hangzhou in a mighty manner.

The rain finally stopped. Aunt Li, Mother Cui, and Mother Wu were hiding under the concierge and whispering about the Dong family, when they heard Ashun shouting from the street, "Back! The carriage is back!"

The people on the porch immediately panicked. Everyone was adjusting their clothes and looking extremely nervous.

When the carriage stopped, and before Steward Yan and the concierge came near, the Dong family boy who had returned with the Tang family's carriage had already ran to Mrs. Tang's carriage neatly and put down the horse stool. The carriage behind

The ladies and maids of Zhongdong's family got off the ground and rushed to the car quickly. A round-faced woman who looked kind and approachable came forward and asked for instructions, "Miss, we are here."

"Yes." Dong Yuluo agreed in the carriage. The woman hurriedly stepped forward to hold the curtain, and two other girls helped Mrs. Tang and Dong Yuluo get out of the carriage.

Grandma Li stood at the back of the crowd, looking a little confused at the formation in front of her. Mother Cui gave her a quick push, and then she realized what she was doing. She pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward. Mrs. Tang saw her,

He gently let go of the hand holding his maid and nodded to Aunt Li. Aunt Li quickly stood in front of Mrs. Tang and held her arm.

Mrs. Tang said to Dong Yuluo, "This is Granny Li, the old man who is with me. You met her last time you came to Hangzhou, but you were still young at that time. I don't know if you still remember her. She was originally

I also wanted to go to the ferry to pick you up, but my family only hired a few carriages, and I was worried that I would have to pick up people and carry luggage, and that the carriages would not be able to accommodate so many people, so I let her stay at home."

The Tang family is not a wealthy family, and they only hired a few carriages for this trip. It is impossible for too many people to go. Before the servants of the Dong family came, the old lady of the Dong family specially asked the steward mother who was waiting around to call them together.

I specifically mentioned some rules, lest I

These people have eyes on the top of their heads and look down on the Tang family. Mrs. Tang said this frankly and frankly. After hearing this, the servants of the Dong family felt that the old woman in front of them was not surprised. They had to look at her differently, and the awe in their hearts was no more.

A few more points.

Dong Yuluo even bowed to Grandma Li intimately, "As a granddaughter, I am thousands of miles away. I am powerless in many things. I cannot always fulfill my filial piety in front of my grandmother. Fortunately, I have you who understands my pain and warmth."

With the old man waiting by her side, I can feel a little relieved."

Nanny Li quickly turned aside, not daring to accept her courtesy, "The eldest lady is really offending this old slave. It's all within one's duties, but I don't dare to say this like the eldest lady."

Dong Yuluo smiled slightly and winked at the round-faced old lady behind him. The old lady immediately took a smart step forward, took out a purse from her arms and handed it over, "Mother Li, this is my lady's honor to drink tea with you.

"

Grandma Li was startled and refused to take it. Mrs. Tang said at the side, "You have served me all your life, and you have toiled hard without any merit. If you are filial to the younger generation, just accept it."

Aunt Li then took it respectfully and thanked Dong Yuluo. Her eyes were red with excitement. Just as she was talking, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Tang also got out of the car. Mrs. Huang was supported by Cui's mother and walked three steps forward.

Zuo walked into the circle in two steps and said, "Why are we talking here? If you have anything to say, go to the room and say it. Yu Luo has been on the boat for so long, I'm afraid he's already tired."

Dong Yuluo smiled and took Huang's hand, "Auntie, I don't feel tired at all. I have been sleeping on the boat and I am in great spirits."

Mrs. Huang tapped the tip of her nose, and her love was beyond words. There was a rumble of thunder, and Mrs. Huang uttered an ouch, "It's going to rain again. Let's go inside quickly and water it again when we get to the door of the house. That's really cool."

Not worth it.”

Mrs. Tang agreed and was helped into the hospital by Granny Li. Dong Yuluo held Huang's arm in one arm and Tang's in the other, and walked into the courtyard with the two of them. Xiang, who had just got out of the car, saw this.

Seeing the scene, his eyes lit up, and he quickly caught up with the nanny supporting him.

Tang Xueru, who was still on the carriage, sighed when he saw this, "Grandma is too partial. With Cousin Yuluo, she just ignored us and didn't ask if we were there. Grandma wouldn't have been like this before."

Bai Rongxuan smiled slightly, thinking that Tang Xueru who was jealous was very cute.
