In the General's mansion, Yun Shu, seeing that Yun Changfeng had finished his official duties, went to find him.
"Let me see Father's tongue."
Yun Changfeng was stunned. "See my tongue?"
"Didn't Father say that because you were poisoned before, you haven't been able to taste food since then?" Yun Shu said, while taking his pulse.
Yun Changfeng had always doted on Yun Shu. Although he had little hope of recovering his sense of taste, he obediently stuck out his tongue.
After Yun Shu examined it, she nodded. "You can put it back."
Yun Changfeng smiled. "Shu'er wants to cure Father? I was poisoned back then and almost became mute. Fortunately, I was rescued in time. Although I didn't become mute, I lost my sense of taste. Actually, I've gotten used to it over the years. It doesn't matter if I can recover my taste or not. Shu'er, don't worry too much."
"I'll try." Yun Shu didn't say much. Because she had been poisoned for too long, her tongue had been injured. It would take some time to concoct the antidote.
Food was the paramount need of the people. If one couldn't taste anything, wouldn't life be too boring?
"Okay, try it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work," Yun Changfeng said gently.
A servant hurried over.
"General, Miss, Marquis Zhongyong and Young Master Yi are here to see you."
"Marquis Zhongyong?" Yun Changfeng was surprised for a moment.
He thought he had misheard.
He had no personal acquaintance with Marquis Zhongyong. Why would he suddenly come to the General's mansion?
Since they were here to see him, he couldn't refuse them.
"Yes, please invite Marquis Zhongyong and Young Master Yi in."
Yun Shu stood up. "Father, you entertain the guests first. I'll go back and rest."
"Alright, go."
A moment later.
Back in her own courtyard, Yun Shu was just about to write a prescription when she was again invited to the front hall by a servant.
"Why am I suddenly being called over?" Yun Shu asked.
Her father was entertaining guests and discussing matters with Marquis Zhongyong and the others, so why was she suddenly being asked to join?
The servant chuckled. "You'll know when you get there, Miss."
He was being mysterious.
With her doubts, Yun Shu arrived at the front hall and saw Marquis Zhongyong and Young Master Yi.
The atmosphere in the entire front hall was harmonious and joyful.
Yun Changfeng had a ruddy complexion and a beaming smile. It was clear that Yun Changfeng was very happy at this moment.
When Young Master Yi saw Yun Shu appear at the doorway.
He immediately held his breath.
His gaze fixed deeply on her.
She was ethereal and stunningly beautiful.
Her beauty was exceedingly alluring.
A casual glance from her eyes made his heart tremble uncontrollably.
Every smile and frown was like a small hook, drawing him in, making him want to abandon everything and be with her.
He had always been pure and abstinent, always believing that no woman could truly move him.
All sorts of charming women.
None could compare to a simple glance from her at this moment.
Marquis Zhongyong, standing beside him, witnessed his son's infatuated gaze at a woman.
Not long ago, he had told him that he never wanted to get married in this lifetime.
Because no woman in the world had captured his heart.
He had thought then that the Yi family would have no heirs.
Unexpectedly, today he had come to ask him to propose marriage to the General's mansion!
When they came, his wife had instructed him, regardless of the rumors outside, as long as he could get his son married and pass on the family line, he had to accomplish this matter!
He immediately smiled kindly and said, "Second Miss Yun has arrived."
"Come, Shu'er, sit down first." Yun Changfeng beckoned to Yun Shu, signaling her to come and sit quickly.
Yun Shu felt a sense of unease. The way Marquis Zhongyong and Yun Changfeng looked at her was strange.
She looked at Yi Zixing.
Yi Zixing, sensing Yun Shu's gaze, his hand holding the teacup trembled. Fortunately, there wasn't much tea in the cup, and only a few drops spilled out.
Yun Shu sensed something was wrong.
She bowed to Marquis Zhongyong.
Then she walked over and sat down.
"Father, is there something?" she asked, confused.
Yun Changfeng said with a smile, "Yes, yes, a great happy event!"
He had learned a lot about the young masters of various families in the court these past few days.
But he always felt that these people were not worthy of Shu'er.
Unexpectedly, Marquis Zhongyong brought his son to his door today.
Young Master Yi was polite and courteous, gentle and refined, and young and promising! He would definitely treat Shu'er well in the future.
Moreover, the Marquis Zhongyong's household had an excellent family tradition, with no messy concubines in the household.
The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
"A great happy event?" Yun Shu looked at the two elders, their faces filled with paternal love.
Suddenly.
A chill ran down her spine.
This scene was a matchmaking scene!
"The Marquis is here today to propose marriage, to arrange your marriage with Young Master Yi. Shu'er, although Father is reluctant to part with you, Father cannot delay your happiness. Don't be shy! Young Master Yi is definitely someone you can entrust your life to," Yun Changfeng said solemnly, his smile fading slightly.
After speaking, his eyes became a little red.
He was actually very reluctant to see Shu'er get married, but Young Master Yi was a rare and good young man whom she could entrust her life to.
Young Master Yi's ears turned slightly red, and he looked at Yun Shu eagerly, waiting for her answer.
"Father, I said I wouldn't get married," Yun Shu's mouth twitched fiercely. It was indeed as she suspected!
She had rejected Yi Zixing's tiger skin gift, and then Yi Zixing had come to propose marriage!
Yi Zixing was taken aback.
Marquis Zhongyong, who had grown accustomed to his son's pronouncements of not marrying, was experienced and felt that Yun Shu and his son were a perfect match!
"No hurry, no hurry, no need to rush the marriage. We can get engaged first and get married next year," Marquis Zhongyong said quickly.
Yun Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Shu'er, Father knows what you're thinking."
You don't!
Yun Shu's mouth twitched fiercely again. She grabbed Yun Changfeng's arm. "Father, let's go out and talk for a moment."
Yun Changfeng was stunned. Although he didn't understand, he agreed and said to Marquis Zhongyong and Yi Zixing, "Please wait a moment, Marquis Zhongyong and Young Master Yi."
Then, he followed Yun Shu out.
Outside, Yun Shu said very seriously to Yun Changfeng, "Father, I will not get married. It's not because I'm shy, nor is it because I'm reluctant to part with Father. It's because I have a secret. This secret prevents me from getting married irresponsibly. So please don't reject Young Master Yi's proposal."
Yun Changfeng calmed down.
Looking at Yun Shu's very serious and solemn expression.
He suddenly became calm.
"Okay, Father promises you." Yun Changfeng asked no further questions.
Vaguely, he seemed to sense the secret that Shu'er mentioned.
It was a secret that had disappeared without a trace for nearly five years.
Before entering the room, he sighed softly, "Alas!"
What a good marriage it would have been!
What a shame.
He found Young Master Yi much more pleasing to the eye than the Night King.
"Shu'er, you don't need to go in. I'll go in and talk to Marquis Zhongyong and the others," Yun Changfeng said.
Yun Shu smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Father."
With a heart full of regret, Yun Changfeng turned and returned to the front hall.
Yun Shu, on the other hand, left the front hall and returned to her courtyard.
A moment later.
A figure flew from behind her.
Yun Shu was about to turn around to make a move,
When she saw the person, she retracted her hand.
"Second Miss Yun, are you... dissatisfied with me?"
