Rebirth of the Duke's Daughter and the Little Imperial Uncle

Chapter 98 Arranged Marriage

At this moment, the mother interjected, "What's so difficult about that? Just invite the eldest princess's fiancé along." Hearing this, Qin Yaoyao asked suspiciously, "Mother, does the eldest princess also have a marriage agreement?" Her eldest cousin, Qin Yunhao, couldn't help but laugh and nodded, "Yes." Qin Zefei and Qin Zeyu, upon hearing this, asked in unison, "Who is it?" The eldest brother, Qin Yunxu, then replied, "It's Yu'er from my eldest cousin's family." Upon hearing this, Qin Yaoyao's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "It's actually Yu'er!" Her sister-in-law smiled and explained, "They were betrothed since they were born, a marriage arranged from the womb."

Qin Yaoyao's face showed a look of sudden realization, and she said, "No wonder my cousin-in-law isn't in a hurry about Junyu's matter at all. It turns out that the two of them have already been engaged!"

Qin Zeyu, who was standing nearby, then added, "But didn't my cousin leave the capital for an inspection three years ago? He still hasn't returned."

The mother smiled and replied, "You don't need to worry about that. I heard from your cousin-in-law that Yu'er will be back in the capital tomorrow." Hearing this, Qin Yaoyao said happily, "That's great! Let the two of them have a good chat when he gets back."

At this moment, the grandmother, sitting in the main seat, interjected with a smile, "This couple has had it much harder than Jun'er and his wife!" Qin Yaoyao asked with a puzzled look, "Why do you say that?" Her mother sighed softly and explained, "They were betrothed since they were children. When the eldest princess was born, her health wasn't very good, so the Empress Dowager, feeling sorry for her granddaughter, sent her to the White Horse Temple to recuperate. The eldest princess stayed at the White Horse Temple until three years ago, before finally returning to the capital before her coming-of-age ceremony. And just at that time, Yu'er was appointed governor by the Emperor, to inspect the people's conditions throughout the country, a journey that took another three years." The second sister-in-law standing beside her echoed, "Yes, life is truly unpredictable."

Qin Yaoyao blinked her bright eyes and asked in confusion, "So, although these two are engaged, they haven't even met yet?" Everyone nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case. Qin Yaoyao frowned, thoughtfully saying, "Hmm... this sounds a bit tricky. But it's alright! I'm incredibly clever, I'll definitely find a way to get them married smoothly, so you can all rest assured!" With that, she confidently patted her chest.

At this moment, the mother smiled at Qin Yaoyao, her eyes full of doting and trust, and said jokingly, "Alright, alright, then we'll have to rely on our little rascal for this!"

Night fell, and the stars twinkled in the sky. He Yanxi arrived at the manor as usual. Upon seeing him, Qin Yaoyao eagerly told him about her idea to invite the eldest and second princesses to the mountain villa. After listening, He Yanxi nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room. Qin Yaoyao got up early, quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and then hurried out of the house with the carefully written invitation in her hand. Just as she reached the door, she saw He Yanxi, dressed in white, standing quietly waiting for her. A gentle breeze blew, causing his robes to flutter, making him appear like an immortal descending to earth.
