CHAPTER 767: 767 ENGAGEMENT

"Hehe. You should just go to the Capital. You can even help Daoist Zhan there."

"Wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be." Zeng Hongling said the same as always.

"Wouldn’t I just be affecting the feelings between you and your husband?" Yuanyuan really felt uncomfortable. They were a couple, and she was just a third wheel; it felt so awkward.

"How could that be? With the three of us working together, we can definitely get better things. Besides, Yuanyuan, you did say you wanted to see the grassland.

We also have to gather ginseng, so many things to do, how could we just stay in the Capital."

"You do think far ahead." Yuanyuan teased her friend.

"How could I not think far ahead? I’m coming back in three years. In the future, not only the Zeng Family but also the Yang Family, I can’t just leave on a whim."

The aroma of meat pies wafted out, and Yang Liulang came into the kitchen, both men busy taking dishes outside.

The Yang Family father and son were more satisfied with the dinner. When leaving, Yang Jiahui even took some leftover meat pies home.

It wasn’t just about taking advantage; it was a way to show the closeness between the two families and the satisfaction with the future daughter-in-law’s cooking.

The father and son didn’t speak on the way home. Once home, they went directly into Yang Jiahui’s study.

"That woman really isn’t ordinary."

"Yeah, that’s why I thought of going along to take a look. We’ll definitely need to maintain good relations in the future."

"As long as you understand, the benefits are mutual. You need to make her understand this."

"Mm, I got it."

"Alright, start preparing tomorrow. Also, get the house in order. You need to pay attention."

Yang Liulang nodded. This was a once-in-a-lifetime event, of course, he would pay attention.

The next morning, Yang Jiahui announced the marriage arrangement between the Yang and Zeng families.

This was announced during a large family meal. Everyone was shocked.

They thought the Sixth couldn’t possibly get married. Who would’ve thought he’d marry into the Zeng Family?

Some of the brothers felt a bit uncomfortable, knowing full well what the Zeng Family represented.

The current head of the Yang Family was still their father, but the successor hadn’t been chosen yet.

In the future, the Sixth Brother had a strong possibility of becoming the head because of the family’s powerful connections.

The women weren’t happy either, no one wants to be overshadowed by a sister-in-law.

But no one dared show it, and not only that, they had to congratulate the Sixth Brother, which was truly frustrating.

The Eighth and Old Nine were quite surprised. They thought it was with the woman named Su Yuanyuan, but it turned out to be Zeng Hongling?

Old Nine gave Yang Liulang meaningful looks. Sixth Brother sure was hard to read.

"There aren’t many things to do now, so all of you help the Sixth Brother."

The patriarch spoke, so everyone put down what they were doing.

Yang Liulang’s mom was Yang Jiahui’s second wife, and she was very happy, her son was finally getting married. Seventh Brother’s son was already five years old, and the Sixth seemed in no rush.

She had talked to him, even caused a stir, but it hadn’t worked. But now things were fine; she found him a daughter-in-law from a good family, let’s see what the other two women had to show off.

So, after dinner, she started preparing bedding, linens, curtains, and such for her son, and now she could pick the best ones from the storeroom.

Yuanyuan, the three of them went out again and ran into Tian Susu at the supply and marketing agency.

Yuanyuan felt very bewildered by this woman’s hostility towards her; this woman was truly double-standard. She got married and had children, yet couldn’t handle Yang Liulang getting married.

Even if you split them up, what advantage would you gain? This person really had a problem.

"Hongling, you’re shopping again?"

Zeng Hongling nodded. She already knew yesterday this was the woman clinging to Yang Liulang. Now that the relationships were settled, seeing her today felt really uncomfortable.

"Hongling, who’s this comrade?"

"My friend. Sorry, we still need to shop."

"I do too, let’s go together."

Zeng Hongling was really fed up with Tian Susu. Didn’t this person know how to read people’s expressions?

"This comrade doesn’t look like a local. The Zeng Family life is pretty good, right? You should stay a bit longer."

Yuanyuan hadn’t decided yet. Zeng Hongling wasn’t having it.

"Are you sick or something? What’s it got to do with you? Besides, we’re not familiar, so don’t talk to me with that attitude."

Zeng Hongling was brought up valuably but not spoilt. Yet, her temper wasn’t average. Plus, this woman was talking about her friend.

Yuanyuan came over because Zeng Hongling brought her. How could she let others bully her? Tian Susu’s words made her bristle, with not a shred of face left.

Tian Susu’s face was ashen; she was, after all, raised with that level of education. The supply and marketing agency was crowded now, and their situation was attracting a lot of attention.

People had already started pointing fingers at Zeng Hongling.

Yuanyuan really despised these antics, just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Zeng Hongling.

"Don’t put on such a disgusting act in front of me. If we meet again in the future, don’t talk to me. I don’t know you.

And your little schemes, don’t you feel ashamed? If I were to have a word with your mother-in-law, do you think she’d believe you or me?"

Tian Susu lowered her head, her heart full of resentment. Yang Liulang had already become her taboo, something not to be touched. A mere whiff of news about Yang Liulang would have her freaking out.

In her heart, Yang Liulang belonged to her, even if she had married someone else, she always considered Li Er as Yang Liulang.

Yuanyuan found this woman’s mindset utterly disgusting. Since that was how it was, she should just let her make a fool of herself. They just stood aside and watched the spectacle.

It was quite simple to disrupt the Divine Sense of such an ordinary woman, just a hint, and she succeeded.

"Little girl, you better be honest. This fox spirit suddenly wanting to seduce Yang Liulang? As long as I’m here, that’s just a dream. Yang Liulang is mine." Tian Susu said venomously.

"You’re really shameless, aren’t you married to Li Er?"

"No, I’m not, I married Yang Liulang. Yang Liulang is mine, and my child is his too."

This was explosive. The Li Family’s in-laws were at the supply and marketing agency, and the Yang Family’s were buying too. Goodness, this was big news. They were surrounded tightly.

Zeng Hongling realized things weren’t going well, estimating the neighbors would know about her and Yang Liulang by the end of the day. If this incident got out now, it wouldn’t look good on her.

"Hehe, you must be dreaming, eh? Yang Liulang never fancied you from the start. You couldn’t wait, so you married into the Li Family. How can you shamelessly say such disgraceful things?"
