<h4>Chapter 126: Marriage</h4>


    The next day, Aunt woke up early to make breakfast for the family. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Du Jinhua busy at the stove.


    Aunt thought that she was seeing things. Ever since Du Jinhua came to the Yu family, she didn’t help with any work at all. When she entered the kitchen, she only looked for food and didn’t cook.


    “You…” Aunt opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.


    “Big Sister, you’re up? Why don’t you sleep a little longer? Breakfast will be ready soon!” Du Jinhua greeted her with a smile. She ced the sliced garlic sprouts into an empty bowl beside her and took a piece of ginger to continue cutting.


    When Aunt saw that she did not seem to be being polite with her, she could not help but feel even more puzzled. Was she possessed or was Du Jinhua possessed? Du Jinhua actually woke up early to help the entire family make breakfast? If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.


    It was not that Du Jinhua was aszy as Mrs. Zhao, but Du Jinhua loved to put on airs, especially in front of her, Guo Pingxiang. It was already good enough that she did not wait for her to serve her, but she still helped her make breakfast?


    Du Jinhua did not just make breakfast. She also filled the water tank and swept away the chicken feces in the chicken house. Even the two hot eggs that the pheasant had justid were carefully put away… She did not swallow any of them.


    Aunt was scared silly. “You… Do you want to borrow money?”


    Du Jinhua red at her. “Look at what you’re saying. Do I look like the kind of person who would reach out for money? I already feel bad enough staying at your house and eating at your house. What kind of person would I be if I asked you for money?”


    <i>You still know that you’re human…</i>


    Du Jinhua stir-fried two tes of side dishes and steamed arge basket of cabbage buns and cornbread. She filled a basket with buns and cornbread and smiled brightly. “I’ll send some to Sister Jiang’s house too.”


    <i>She was going to give it to Third Brother’s family? Had she forgotten how Ah Wan beat up Guo Xianqiao?</i>


    After Du Jinhua left, Aunt hurriedly returned to the house and shook her uncle awake. “Oh no, oh no! Du Jinhua has gone crazy!”


    … .


    On the other hand, after Du Jinhua left with a basket of buns and cornbread, she went straight to Yu Wan’s house. However, in fact, she stopped before she reached Yu Wan’s house.


    .....


    Aunt was right. Unless Du Jinhua was crazy, she would never send anything to Yu Wan’s family.


    Du Jinhua’s wishful thinking had already been set upst night. Firstly, wasn’t this Young Master Wan, top schr Wan, one in a million? Wasn’t her daughter the same? As the saying goes, there’s no better match than this. Although she could not directly propose marriage, she could indirectly reveal the news!


    If Young Master Wan knew that she had a beautiful daughter, wouldn’t he be dead set on marrying her?


    While she was feeling smug, Du Jinhua had already arrived at the entrance of the Ding Family’s new residence. As expected of a rich family, even the door was painted red.


    Du Jinhua adjusted the pearl hairpin at her temples and raised her hand to knock on the door.


    “Who is it?” Uncle Wan opened the door.


    In order to make the Wan family think highly of her, Du Jinhua dressed up well. She put on her best clothes and jewelry and applied makeup. She thought that she could suppress everyone. However, Uncle Wan’s eyebrows twitched when he saw her. Where did this ugly womane from?!


    Uncle Wan had seen more beauties. The closest one was Madam Jiang, and the furthest one was the Princess Consort. At the very least, the little lunatic at home had the appearance of an immortal, so Du Jinhua’s appearance was really not worthy of his attention.


    Du Jinhua did not notice Uncle Wan’s disdain. She thought that he was stunned by her appearance and smiled even more brightly. “Is Young Master Wan around?”


    “Why are you looking for my young master… my nephew?” Uncle Wan was halfway through his answer when he remembered that he was now Young Master Wan’s uncle. This inspiration came from Miss Yu’s family.


    “So you’re Young Master Wan’s uncle…” Du Jinhua smiled and handed the basket in her hand forward.” The steamed buns and cornbread made by my family are stuffed with braised meat!”


    Uncle Wan, who didn’t even care about delicacies: “…”


    “I’ll put it on the table.” Du Jinhua entered the house uninvited. As she sized up the environment in the house, she ced the basket on the square table in the central room.


    She was quite satisfied with the environment of the Wan family. At the very least, it was quite clean. At a nce, she could tell that they were a respectable and particr family. However, they did not have any gold, silver, or jade artifacts. They were probably not as rich as the Luo family.


    “Why don’t I see Young Master Wan’s parents?” Du Jinhua asked.


    “They’re not here,” Uncle Wan said.


    Du Jinhua’s eyes shed. His parents were not around, but his uncle was. Could they be dead?


    “Who are you? Why are you looking for my nephew?” Uncle Wan asked for the second time. He could not stand the other party’s behavior and his tone was not good.


    Du Jinhua couldn’t tell, so she smiled and replied, “I’m Ah Xiang’s sister-inw. I don’t have anything else to say to Young Master Wan. My brother-inw also has a son who’s going to take the imperial examination. I heard that Young Master Wan’s knowledge is not bad, so I wanted to ask him for advice.”


    If it were anyone else, they would have believed her. But who was Uncle Wan? He was an invincible eunuch who had apanied the young Prince Yan and the young Emperor to fight their way out of the Cold Pce. How could he not see that she had ulterior motives?


    As expected, not long after Du Jinhua asked, a delicate-looking young girl came to the door. The young girl looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old and was about the same age as Miss Yu. However, she was more pampered than Miss Yu. She was wearing silk satin and gold, silver, and jewelry. Her every frown and smile made her look young and delicate.


    “Mother, you’re here? Everyone’s waiting for you to have breakfast.” Guo Xianyue said nervously. As soon as she approached the house, her heart pounded, but her mother insisted that she show her face.


    Du Jinhua looked at her daughter in satisfaction. “Yue’er,e in and greet him. This is Young Master Wan’s uncle.”


    Guo Xianyue bowed her head and walked forward. “Uncle Wan.”


    “My daughter, Yue’er,” Du Jinhua said with pride.


    Next, he should ask her how old her daughter was and if she was married. At that time, she would go with the flow and say that she was seventeen and couldn’t bear to part with her daughter, so she had kept her by her side. However, it was time to consider marriage.


    Unexpectedly, Uncle Wan smiled heartily and said, “You look about the same age as Miss Yu. You’ve already been betrothed, right? You must invite me to your wedding banquet!”


    He rejected her outright!


    … .


    Du Jinhua was furious and pulled her daughter out of the Ding Family’s mansion.


    “Blind old thing!” Du Jinhua was really furious. She had always been the one who looked down on others, and there was no one who didn’t want to marry her daughter!


    “Mother!” Guo Xianyue was about to cry. She didn’t know if it was because crying was too embarrassing or because her hopes were dashed.


    Du Jinhua snorted. “What does that old thing know? He’s not Young Master Wan’s biological father. How can his words count? I miscalcted today. I didn’t expect Young Master Wan’s uncle to interrupt. Don’t worry, as long as Young Master Wan sees you, he will definitely be tempted!”


    Du Jinhua coaxed Guo Xianyue again and finally stopped her tears.


    Du Jinhua asked Guo Xianyue to return to the Yu Family’s old mansion first while she walked around nearby.


    Back then, the Guo family had not agreed to Guo Dayou marrying her. They had said that she was too shrewish and not easy to get along with. However, she had charmed Guo Dayou until he was dizzy. Guo Dayou would not marry anyone but her. In the end, the marriage still seeded.


    Now, she nned to use the same trick again and attack Young Master Wan. She wandered to the bamboo forest outside the back door.


    Coincidentally, Yu Wan walked out of the kitchen with a basket on her back.


    “Miss Yu!”


    It was Uncle Wan’s voice.


    Du Jinhua quickly hid behind a big tree.


    .


    “Good morning, Uncle Wan.” Yu Wan turned around and greeted him with a smile.


    “Where are you going?” Uncle Wan asked as he looked at the basket on her back.


    Yu Wan said, “I’m going up the mountain to dig for spring bamboo shoots and wild vegetables.”


    Uncle Wan smiled and handed her a covered blue and white porcin bowl. “A gtin cake to nourish your mother’s body.” Without waiting for Yu Wan to refuse, Uncle Wan said, “We’re all men in the house. We can’t eat this. Take it.”


    Du Jinhua immediately frowned. This blind old thing actually treated this brat while he treated them like that! She had never even eaten gtin cake before, but this old thing gave it to this girl!


    The Wan family was still rich.


    The two of them said something else. Du Jinhua was distracted and did not listen. When she came back to her senses, Uncle Wan had already left. Yu Wan was holding the bowl of gtin cake in her hand and was about to return to the house when another figure walked out from the back door of the Ding Manor.


    This was a fairy-like back view. He was wearing a silver-white cloak that trailed the ground. He was tall, and his ck hair was like ink. His jade crown was clear and moist. The entire green bamboo forest seemed to have been lit up by this person’s back view.


    Needless to say, Du Jinhua had already guessed the other party’s identity. He was indeed the man who had moved her daughter’s heart. Just his back view alone was indescribably handsome.


    Du Jinhua saw Young Master Wan walking towards Yu Wan and said something to her. Yu Wan’s face turned red and she red at him angrily. His shoulders moved slightly and he seemed tough.
