"Dad just came home not long ago. Eat quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Father Yan said as he picked up a piece of sesame butter roll and put it in Yan Muxi's bowl.

"Thank you, Dad!" Yan Muxi smiled with narrowed eyes and picked up the sesame butter roll and started eating it.

Qian Manman laughed and scolded, "Husband, just spoil her. She's almost ate like a ball! What other girl is like her? A mouth is born just to eat."

Yan Muxi swallowed the food in his mouth and refused to defend himself, "How can I be born with a mouth just for eating? This mouth of mine can talk, sing, and even curse!"

Qian Manman put down her chopsticks in anger, "I say one thing and you say three things back. You can't even stop talking while eating. I really spoil you."

Father Yan smiled and continued, "Spoil her if you want. Our sister Xi is destined to be spoiled. Others want her but don't have her yet!"

Yan Muxi agreed with a smile, "That's right, I am happy to be spoiled. If my father and mother spoil me as much as they can, many daughters can stand it."

They had a very enjoyable meal. Father Yan was concerned about his eldest daughter's illness, so he put down his bowl and left Manwei Garden.

When only the mother and daughter were left in the room, Qian Manman repeated what Yan's father had just said.

"Your father said that Master Yun is very satisfied with you, and Mrs. Yun is also kind. There are only a few people in the Yun family. If you marry into the family, you will save yourself a lot of trouble and effort, and no one will bother you! Mother really thinks this is a good match."

Yan Muxi frowned and expressed doubt. "That He didn't even look at me, and he was satisfied? Marriage is a matter of a lifetime, is he so casual about it?"

"You are the daughter of a third-rank official. How dare he, a mere seventh-rank editor, be dissatisfied?" Qian Manman couldn't help but raise her voice.

You can only dislike your own daughter, there is no reason for her to be disliked by others.

Yan Muxi nodded, "I understand! Master Yun has to rely on my father for his career, so he has to agree to marry me and treat me well, isn't that right?"

Qian Manman wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to refute.

Even the marriage that I thought was a good one just now, now seems not so good.

Yun Chenghe agreed to the marriage because she relied on her husband, not because she really wanted to marry her own daughter.

Which man would like to be forced to marry?

What if he develops a rebellious mentality again, saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, and secretly bullies your own daughter?

A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. No matter how high her husband's official position is, he cannot control everything, let alone control his daughter's affairs at home.

After a short rest after dinner, the mother and daughter went to Yaqingyuan together.

Yan Muqing had just taken the medicine and was still drowsy. The whole yard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

In order not to disturb the patient's rest, Qian Manman asked a few routine questions to the maids and old women who were serving her. Just as she was about to leave, the bedroom door was pushed open from the inside.

Yan Muyun came out and bowed to Qian Manman first, then said, "Eldest sister is awake, and she said she wanted to see second sister."

"See me?" Yan Muxi pointed his index finger at his nose.

Yan Muqing wanted to see her as soon as she woke up. When did their sisterly relationship become so close?

The bedroom was filled with a medicinal smell mixed with a hint of floral scent which wasn't particularly unpleasant.

Yan Muqing leaned against a soft pillow with gold thread, her black hair scattered on her side, her face was pale, and her eye sockets were slightly sunken. She had been sick for only a day, but she looked so haggard that she seemed like a different person.

Yan Muxi stood one meter away from the bed and asked, "I heard that big sister wants to see me?"

"Yes!" Yan Muqing pointed to the low stool beside him, "Second sister, sit down and talk."

Apart from the two sisters, there were only personal servants in the room. Yan Muxi couldn't guess Yan Muqing's purpose for a moment.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait for long. Yan Muqing sighed and spoke with red eyes.

"My cousin Huachang was drinking with someone and fell down the stairs, breaking his arm and his face. I'm afraid he will never have the chance to take the imperial examinations again in his lifetime!"

Although the previous speculation was confirmed, Yan Muxi was still extremely surprised. She did not expect Su Huachang to be injured so seriously. No wonder Yan Muqing could not bear the blow and suddenly fell ill.

Su Huachang passed the examination for a scholar at the age of twelve and the imperial examination at the age of seventeen. He was the most gifted in study among the grandchildren of Old Tutor Su. Ruining his appearance was tantamount to ruining his future, which was tantamount to losing half of his life.

But why did Yan Muqing tell her this? Could it be that she felt that Su Huachang, who had lost his appearance, was a good match for her and wanted to bring them together?

"Big sister, please be more open-minded! If God blocks one way, he must have arranged another way for you. Cousin Huachang can concentrate on his studies if he doesn't want to pursue a career in politics. People with real talent and knowledge don't have to worry about having no way out." Yan Muxi tempted tactfully.

Yan Muqing asked urgently, "Does Second Sister really think so?"

Yan Muxi nodded seriously, "Of course! Cousin Huachang has a gentle personality. Compared to a career in politics, he might be more suitable for teaching and educating people. After all, every profession can produce a top scholar!"

Although she said this, she was even more suspicious in her heart. Could it be that Yan Muqing really wanted to match her up with someone?

Not to mention Yan Muqing’s calculations, for her at the moment, marrying Su Huachang is much better than marrying Yun Chenghe.

My father cannot reach the Su family, and the Su family has a clean family tradition. Su Huachang is the youngest son in the family and does not need to bear the family responsibility.

With the protection of your family, you can lie back and not take any responsibilities. Your life is so wonderful!

Yan Muqing sniffed and tried to suppress the tears that welled up in her eyes. "But my cousin's appearance has been damaged. He is no longer as handsome as before."

"Why does a seven-foot-tall man need such a good-looking appearance? I used to think that cousin Huachang was too delicate, it would be just right if he looked a little less handsome." Yan Muxi's eyes sparkled, and the expectation in them was undisguised.

I thought to myself, keep going. The match I find this time is better than the second generation rich man in Prince Rong’s Mansion. If this works, I will forgive your last plan.

Unexpectedly, Yan Muqing closed her eyes dejectedly, "I'm tired, second sister, please go out!"

Yan Muxi: “…” What!

You whetted her appetite and then let it go. Are you teasing her?

Forget it. Don’t argue too much with the patient. If he dies from arguing, I won’t be able to afford the compensation.

Afraid that her meaning was not obvious enough, Yan Muxi added before leaving, "I really think that cousin Huachang is a good guy. Even though his face is damaged, he is very good!"

These words were like a knife stabbing Yan Muqing in the heart.

When the door closed, Yan Muqing could no longer hold back her tears.

The surging guilt and confusion seemed to drown her.

She had always thought that her cousin's appearance was ruined because of the conspiracy of Qian's mother and daughter, but it turned out not to be the case.

Whether in the past life or this life, everything is because of her.

During the day and night of coma, Yan Muqing had a dream, a very long and very real dream.

In the dream, her cousin came to the house to look for her.

I don’t know if it was because of the cold or the alcohol, but my cousin’s cheeks were red and his eyes were shining with a light that wasn’t usually there. He stared at her intently.

"Mu Qing, I like you and want to marry you. Are you willing to marry me? I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

She was terrified, blushing and stammering in refusal, "Cousin, are you crazy? You and my second sister are discussing marriage. If what you said today gets out, how will my second sister deal with it...Cousin, please leave quickly. I will pretend that you have never been here today!"
