Chapter 450: The Scheming Brother-in-Law vs. the Unmarried Sister-in-Law (34)

Xiao Yan recognized at a glance that the woman in the portrait was Jiang Li.

Xiao Heng's strange reaction and the strange questions he asked when he went to the academy a few days ago suddenly emerged in Xiao Yan's mind, and all the doubts of that day were answered at this moment.

It turns out that the person Heng likes... is Li.

Xiao Yan put the portrait back to its place and left Xiao Heng's room.

……

Xiao Heng came back in the evening. It was winter but he was sweating profusely from playing Cuju. When he learned that Xiao Yan was in the study, he went straight to the study.

"Brother, I'm back."

He was about to take off his clothes as soon as he entered the room, but Xiao Yan stopped him immediately when he saw that he was sweating profusely.

"Don't take them off yet. Sit down and sweat off. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Xiao Heng felt very hot and tugged at his collar, but finally he followed Xiao Yan's instructions and did not take off his outer robe.

Xiao Heng picked up the tea that Xiao Yan had just brewed, drank it without saying a word, and praised: "There is no one in the whole capital who is more skilled in tea making than you, brother!"

Xiao Yan looked at him helplessly, "You, you really can't sit still for even a moment. After running around for two hours after coming back from the academy, you still have the energy to play Cuju."

"As a man, what's the big deal about running around for just two hours?"

Xiao Heng didn't care. He lifted up his robe and sat down opposite Xiao Heng.

"By the way, brother, I heard that the envoy of Jialan Kingdom will bring Princess Changning to marry the day after tomorrow. Brother, do you know which prince Princess Changning likes?"

When Xiao Heng heard Zhou Ziyu mention it while playing Cuju just now, he immediately started gossiping.

Xiao Yan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, then said calmly, "The candidates for marriage this time include not only the princes, but also all the unmarried men of marriageable age among the royal nobles, and Ah Heng is no exception."

Xiao Heng lost his composure when he heard that. He pointed at himself with wide eyes, "Me? Why am I also on the list?"

Xiao Yan took a sip of tea and said, "Ah Heng has reached the marriageable age and is not engaged, so he is naturally on the list."

"But, but I..."

Xiao Yan raised his eyelids and looked at him, "But what? Could it be that Ah Heng already has someone he loves?"

Xiao Heng pursed his lips and made up his mind, "That's right! Brother, I already have someone I like, and there is no way I will marry anyone else!"

After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Yan's arm and said, "Brother, you must have a way to remove me from the list, right? Please help me."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and continued to persuade, "Who is Ah Heng's favorite? I need to know before I can help you."

"This... I can't tell my brother yet, so as not to offend him. When the time is right, I will bring the person to my brother."

Xiao Heng stood up after he finished speaking, "It's getting late, brother, go to bed early. Ah Heng will go back to take a bath first."

Xiao Yan watched Xiao Heng turn around and leave until the study door closed and he finished the tea in his hand.

A cool breeze blew in from the crack in the door, causing the candlelight to sway everywhere. The swaying candlelight hit Xiao Yan's face, making his expression flicker and his emotions impossible to tell.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Cuju Banquet.

Princess Changning loves Cuju, and the envoys from the Kingdom of Jialan arrived in Kyoto early last night so that the princess can catch the Cuju banquet the next day and choose her favorite man at the banquet.

Cuju is a sport passed down from generation to generation in the State of Chu. The Emperor of Chu also loved Cuju when he was young. Therefore, he attached great importance to this Cuju banquet and the scene was arranged in an extremely grand manner.

All the officials and their families came to the Cuju banquet.

"Ali!"

When Jiang Li appeared on the Cuju field with her two brothers, Si Yao waved at her excitedly. Just as she was about to run towards her, she was grabbed by the woman next to her. "You stay here and don't go anywhere. There are so many people watching us. What are you talking about? Be careful or you won't be able to get married in the future!"

The person who spoke was Si Yao's mother, the Lady Censor. The Lady Censor looked at Si Yao with a headache on her face. She really had no way to deal with her temper. She could only discipline her in public and make her look like a gentle and virtuous lady.

But Si Yao has nothing to do with the words gentle and virtuous.

Si Yao pouted and looked unhappy, "Mom! Why are you pulling me? It's time to go on stage soon, I want to go find Ali!"

"Don't go anywhere before we start. Just wait here obediently!"

The censor's wife refused to let Si Yao move no matter what, for fear that her loud voice would disturb others.

Unable to persuade her mother, Si Yao turned to look at her father, "Dad, look at mom! She won't let me play with A-Li."

Madam Censor: “???”

The censor exchanged glances with his daughter and said seriously, "Madam, how can you stop Yao'er from making friends? It's fate that the two children can chat with each other. Your behavior is not the way to entertain guests in our censor's mansion."

Madam Yushi's eyes widened, and she almost couldn't hold it in. "When did I say not to let her..."

"Alright, alright, it's good that Madam knows she's wrong. Yao'er, go quickly and don't neglect your friends."

The censor's wife was interrupted before she could finish her words. She winked at Si Yao, who then pulled out her arm and ran towards Jiang Li, not looking like a lady from a noble family at all.

Madam Censor: "...Si Qiushan! Look at how you have spoiled her. It is because of her that no one comes to your house to discuss marriage!"

"Don't be angry, madam. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I only have this one precious daughter. Even if she never gets married in her life, I can still support her!" The censor patted the madam's shoulder and comforted her.

The censor's wife was speechless. She shook off the censor's hand and went to find her handkerchief to vent her anger.

The censor touched his beard awkwardly and complained in a low voice, "Speaking of Yao'er, Yao'er learned all this from you, Madam..."

"Ali, that's great, we can go on stage together!"

Si Yao excitedly grabbed Jiang Li's hand.

Among the five of them, Su Luoluo has no athletic talent, Yuan Qing and Liu Yuexi are both quiet people. In the past, Si Yao played alone at the Cuju Banquet, but this time she finally had her good sisters to accompany her.

"Ali, Yaoyao."

Su Luoluo, Yuan Qing and Liu Yuexi also came over.

"We can't play with you, but we will cheer you on from the sidelines!"

"I have been secretly practicing at home these past two days. I will show you my strength when I go on stage later!"

Si Yao raised her chin, feeling confident.

"I hope Yaoyao and A-li can be drawn into the same team in the draw later."

Su Luoluo clasped her hands together and began to pray for both of them.

Si Yao hugged Jiang Li's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, A-Li and I are in sync, and we will definitely be selected into a team!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Lan's voice came from behind him.

"Si Yao, do you remember how you lost to me last time? How about you call me brother this time and I'll give you three points?"

After hearing Wei Lan's teasing voice, Si Yao gritted her teeth and her fists creaked.

Several people turned around together and were stunned when they saw the person next to Wei Lan.

“Who is this?”

I will work harder and try to write about their feelings today. If I can’t… I will write about it tomorrow!!
