Yun Jinnian nodded, "Second sister speaks sense; there’s no rush on this matter!"
Originally, she had little interest in opening a shop, but since Tianci wanted to, she wholeheartedly supported it.
They talked about Yun Muyou again.
"I don’t know what she’s thinking, actually using her dowry to support that entire big family. You should also be careful not to get involved with them. The Marquess Yuanshen is somewhat acceptable, but his mother is nothing but trouble. I’ve heard that she had her eyes on you..."
The rest of her words were not suitable for Yun Zihan to say out loud. Despite being from the Marquis Residence, she truly looked down upon it.
Yun Jinnian was stunned for a moment, "That day at the Imperial Palace, she indeed tried to get close, and I thought it was because of Yun Muyou. So that was what it meant!"
Married and managing her own household, Yun Zihan had grown quite formidable.
Yun Jinnian smiled, "We don’t see each other often anyway; no need to bother about it!"
"That’s true, but just be wary of her slinging mud on you!"
"Thank you for the reminder, second sister. I’ll remember it!"
As they walked, Xun Chuxi approached briskly, her cheeks plump and rosy, "Sister-in-law, Commandery Princess!"
Yun Jinnian smiled lightly, "It seems you’re a bit older than me. If you’re willing, you can call me Jinnian, just like second sister does!"
Xun Chuxi immediately nodded in excitement, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Yun Jinnian watched with a smile, unaware that the Liao Family had a Xun Chuxi.
"Then Sister Jinnian, continue talking with sister-in-law. I, I’ll go check on the kitchen!" After saying this, Xun Chuxi departed impolitely after performing a curtsey.
Yun Jinnian watched her and then asked Yun Zihan, "Sister, what are your plans for her?"
"She had a fancy for Shijie at first, but after I talked to her and your brother-in-law cajoled and deceived her, she set aside that thought. Now, she wants to marry a decent and honest man as his principal wife. I think the students in the front yard are all very good candidates. I’ve asked your brother-in-law to carefully observe who has a good character, a smaller family, as Chuxi is too naïve. Marrying into a big family, she would suffer!" Yun Zihan said, feeling a touch of pity.
Chuxi was a year younger than her and had not seen much of the world.
She was timid when she arrived at the residence, and it took some time to coax her into her current demeanor.
Although not her sister, she was the only relative of Shijie’s mother, and Yun Zihan could not possibly neglect her.
"Second sister, how about I have Nanny Rong come teach her the rules?"
Yun Zihan was overjoyed at the suggestion, "That would be fantastic. Your brother-in-law’s friends are all talented, and Elder Brother Feng often visits to provide guidance. Sometimes, they can even go to the Elder Residence. Elder Chen provides personal advice and, given these opportunities, their future is bound to be bright. Their wives certainly cannot be timid!"
Of course, Yun Zihan was aware that Shijie and his companions could enter the Elder Residence partly because of Yun Jinnian’s influence.
Even if she hadn’t said a word, but with her friendship with Chen Danyan, Danyan would often speak of her in front of her grandfather.
And then there was Feng Wushuang...
Thinking of Feng Wushuang, Yun Zihan remembered what Shijie told her.
Her youngest sister, unmatched in beauty and grace, with exquisite medical skills and a compassionate heart, would naturally be liked by a remarkable man like Feng Wushuang.
"Then, after the New Year, I’ll have Nanny Rong come over!"
"Sister, you’ve arranged this estate quite exquisitely!"
Yun Zihan smiled, "The objects are not valuable, so I had to focus on the details!"
Yun Jinnian knew Yun Zihan felt aggrieved.
Some of the Liao Family’s betrothal gifts were indeed good, but they were exchanged for Yun Muyou’s use by Mrs. He.
It was unclear if Yun Muyou knew or did not know about it.
"Our own home, where husband and wife live harmoniously, is a place of happiness, even if it’s a thatched cottage. But if the husband and wife are not in harmony, even a golden palace can’t provide happiness!"
