The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2337 - 23039: A Man’s Pride

With Ye Zi’an’s words, Luo Linhao was no longer anxious and returned after sitting for a while at Prince An’s Mansion.

"What are you planning to do?" Yang Chuxia was a bit curious about what method Ye Zi’an would use to force Yang Qingtong to comply, since in her memory, Yang Qingtong was quite stubborn.

"Do you know why Qingtong doesn’t agree to marry Linyu?" Ye Zi’an pulled her close and asked softly.

"Why? I’m also very curious about this matter. By rights, Linyu’s personality is quite likeable. Could it be that he really doesn’t like Linyu? If that’s the case, forcing it wouldn’t work either."

"Not at all, Qingtong has feelings for Linyu, that’s certain."

"Why are you so sure? Since he likes Linyu, why is he unwilling to marry her?"

Ye Zi’an smiled, "Isn’t it just a matter of a man’s pride?"

"How does that explain it?"

Ye Zi’an explained, "Qingtong is just a county officer now, but Linyu is the legitimate young lady of the State Duke’s Mansion. Because the Luo Family and ours are acquainted, the difference doesn’t feel significant."

"Are you saying that Qingtong cares about family status, feeling that his family background isn’t comparable to Linyu’s?"

Actually, Yang Chuxia was aware of the difference in family backgrounds. If this were another family, they wouldn’t agree to this marriage proposal at all, especially not if Qingtong couldn’t refuse.

A young lady from a noble family, no matter how poor, isn’t someone that a county officer could say no to. In their eyes, they get to choose people, not the other way around.

"Qingtong naturally has this intention," Ye Zi’an continued, "but I think he mostly doesn’t want Linyu to suffer along with him. Although the Yang Family seems decent in Quanya County, it doesn’t compare to real noble families. Also consider, with Linyu’s status, what kind of noble families can’t she find in the Capital City? The difference between marrying into a noble family or a local gentry, the daily life, I don’t need to say, you should know."

"Qingtong is just starting out, how many years will it take for him to rise step by step? If he is unlucky, he might not rise in his whole life." Pausing for a moment, Ye Zi’an continued, "Of course, with me in the court, I won’t let him remain stagnant, but it still takes time."

"Considering Linyu, she’s a daughter of an honored noble, marrying down to a county officer, who knows what people in the Capital City will say about her! Uncle and Linhao are men, they might not think about these aspects."

"Oh!" With his words, Yang Chuxia naturally understood, not to mention the large gap between the two, even if they are together, Yang Qingtong would strive desperately to climb higher in order to give Linyu a good life and status, afraid it would be incredibly exhausting.

"So, are we just going to watch them separate?"

Ye Zi’an gently smoothed her brows and said softly, "If we really let them separate like this, my little brother-in-law might be heartbroken for a lifetime." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"You are really annoying!" Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but lightly punch his shoulder, "You’ve said so much, what exactly is your strategy?"

"Have some patience, my wife."

Yang Chuxia ultimately couldn’t extract anything out of Ye Zi’an’s mouth and didn’t know what his plan was.

Originally, she was worried that something might happen on Linyu’s side, but unexpectedly, Yang Xiayun conveyed that she truly listened to Ye Zi’an and was earnestly preparing for the wedding at home.

As for Yang Qingtong’s side, no news came at all.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month. The winter in the Capital City was always cold, with three snowfalls already from autumn to now.
