Chapter 76: I Will Listen To Sis
As for those relatives who wanted to get their hands on their properties without paying a single cent, she would deal with them one at a time. It would save her some trouble after the number of people within that group had reduced.
After hearing the report and after the housekeepers had left, Madam Huan took out a letter of matchmaking sent by a matchmaker, "Someone approached to seek Meng Yue's hand in marriage."
It was something she was expecting.
"What is Huan Meng Yue's reaction?"
"After I personally urged Meng Yue, that lass had also agreed, she was honest and timid since young after all. That Young Master Hou was someone of a higher standing than her also, for an adopted daughter to obtain the status of the wife of an heir is also something that many outsiders will envy. The matchmaker also indirectly asked us if we will be preparing ten thousand silvers as bridal gift, I had also given my assurance that we will..."
Madam Huan was a kind person, plus the money collected from selling those shops had provided them a rather hefty sum.
Huan Qing Yan grinned and said, "Mama is really kind, for Huan Meng Yue to receive such good care from Mama was also her blessing."
Ten thousand silvers! The Huan Estate had paid a rather heavy price!
However, it was worth it.
Huan Meng Yue wants to have a happy ending with that trash, Bai Cheng Feng? Sorry, but she is now a person with a husband, Huan Qing Yan would really love to see how this adulterous pair would do from now on!
Even if they ignored all the drawbacks and be together, would Huan Meng Yue be worshipped like a Goddess like how she were in her previous life? It was likely that Huan Meng Yue would never be able to run away from the reputation of being a wife who commit adultery.
While Huan Qing Yan was in her thoughts, Lou Qiao brought a crying Huan Xing Han in.
Xing Han was complaining while crying, "I want to play with Sister Meng Yue, I have not seen her for a whole day, why are you stopping me from finding her... Mama, I want to go!"
Crying because they could not get what they wanted was a child's natural character.
During the previous life, the reincarnated girl felt only impatience at this little brother of hers, all she felt was that he was immature. Therefore, the two siblings never got to be close. However, was the reincarnated girl mature herself?
As the child was still young, what he need was proper adult guidance. Would he grow and turn into a decent person that the family would be proud of if he only plays with Huan Meng Yue every day? In your dreams!
There was a saying: The eldest sister is akin to a mother. Huan Qing Yan was nearly ten years older than Huan Xing Han, it was because Huan Qing Yan did not fulfil her role as an elder sister properly that led to his younger brother being unreasonable and difficult.
"Xing Han, your Sister Meng Yue will be getting married soon and needs to prepare her bridal dress, therefore she is unable to play with you. From now on, let Sis accompany you to play, how about it?" Huan Qing Yan said after she took Xing Han from Lou Qiao and carried him.
The young boy who was less than six years old was like an artistic marble statue, he had inherited all the positive traits of Papa and Mama.
He stopped crying and asked, "Sis is willing to play with me?"
"Of course! Sis will play with you whenever I am free. However, we must first have an agreement. You are reaching six years old soon and can be considered a little man. A man should never shed his tears easily, ok?"
Huan Xing Han immediately stopped crying and nodded his head, "I am a man. I will listen to Sis and will not cry. Sis, what are we playing? Can we go fly kites?"
Huan Qing Yan's heart jumped.
Fly kites?
Oh right. In the previous life, Huan Meng Yue's great change happened after the kite flying incident. While flying kites with Xing Han, the kite was caught on a tree branch that was directly above the garden pond. To appease Xing Han, Huan Meng Yue volunteered herself to climb and retrieve the kite but fell into the pond by accident and was nearly drowned. That was when she awakened her Spirit Treasure and when her personality changed greatly after she was saved, she felt that she had obtained the blessing of a God and everyone else in the world had owed or wronged her...
