Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

He said with bright eyes: "Our Dachang's jewelry is extremely popular in Dongying! You know, Dongying's ornaments are usually simple and monotonous, while our Dachang's jewelry is ornate and exquisite, and this sharp contrast makes them shine in the Dongying market, winning great favor! Not to mention, on the very first day of opening, the shop was packed to the brim!"

Hearing this, Yan Shuang'er couldn't help but show admiration, praising: "Second Brother is indeed impressive!" Beside them, Qianqian also interjected with a face full of envy: "Second Brother, when you go to Dongying next time, can you take me with you? I really want to go there and have fun." Yan Si smiled and readily agreed, saying he would definitely not forget to take Qianqian along.

Seeing that the main business regarding Dongying trade was basically concluded, the Princess Consort sitting beside them, though anxious in her heart, still tried to maintain a dignified and composed posture on the surface, merely asking lightly: "Si'er, why didn't Xinyu return with you?"

Yan Si raised his eyes to look at his mother, seeing that she was clearly anxious but still had to put on a calm appearance, and suddenly a thought of teasing her popped into his mind. So, he deliberately answered slowly: "Mother Consort, rest assured, Xinyu and Xingyan have already returned safely to Dongying. Now that the shop has just opened for business, there are many affairs and he is quite busy."

"Fortunately, Xingyan is indeed very talented; I only taught him a few times, and he can handle the shop's affairs in an orderly manner, truly a rare talent!" After speaking, he also winked at the Princess Consort, his face full of mischief.

Hearing Yan Si's answer, the Princess Consort's anger surged instantly, and she was so angry she could hardly catch her breath. But she still suppressed her anger and tried to ask in a calm tone directly: "I am asking you about your matter with Yu'er!"

Hearing these words, Yan Si was stunned for a moment, then as if waking from a dream he exclaimed "Ah," and showed an expression of sudden realization: "Oh, you mean this matter..."

At this moment, the Princess Consort widened her eyes, nodding repeatedly with a face full of anxiety, signaling Yan Si to hurry up and continue.

Seeing this, Yan Si continued: "The Dongying Emperor is not very agreeable to this, mainly because the distance between Dachang and Dongying is truly too far."

"They worry that after Yu'er marries over, she will suffer grievances, and once something happens, it is not easy to return home."

Hearing this, the Princess Consort became even more anxious, quickly interjecting: "Did you tell him clearly that after Yu'er marries over, she will definitely not suffer any grievances? Tell him to rest assured!"

Yan Si nodded and replied: "I naturally said so, but that Dongying Emperor still insisted on his own view, saying that even if he knows she won't be mistreated here, just thinking about his daughter marrying alone to such a distant place, he can't let go of this worry."

"After all, the journey is far; if something bad really happens, there isn't even a family member she can rely on."

After hearing these words, the Princess Consort felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her heart; her full expectations instantly turned to nothing, replaced by deep disappointment.

However, she did not give up just like that, and immediately continued: "How could we possibly bully Yu'er? Didn't you explain these words clearly to the Dongying Emperor?"

Yan Si said slowly: "Since it has already been said, let me tell you. The Dongying Emperor indeed indicated that if you want to obtain his consent, it is not completely impossible, but a condition needs to be met."

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in the Princess Consort's eyes, and she asked impatiently: "What exactly is the condition? Even if it were ten thousand conditions, we could agree!"

At this moment, not only the Princess Consort, but even Qianqian and Yan Shuang'er beside them all held their breath and widened their eyes, anxiously waiting for Yan Si to continue.

Only to see Yan Si deliberately keeping them in suspense; after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "The condition proposed by the Dongying Emperor is... to let me become Princess Yu'er's son-in-law living with her family."

As soon as the words fell, the Princess Consort was first stunned, then blurted out: "Is that the only condition?" She seemed somewhat surprised by this request.

Yan Si hurriedly nodded and replied: "Yes, Mother Consort, that's it." However, to his utter surprise, the Princess Consort immediately instructed without hesitation: "Then why A Ren't you hurrying to pack your luggage and marry into Dongying!"

Yan Si was instantly stunned, and with a face full of shock he retorted: "No way? Mother Consort, what are you saying? I am a proper man; this is clearly becoming a son-in-law living with his wife's family! Shouldn't you refuse?"

Facing her son's questioning, the Princess Consort seemed not to care; she put her hands on her hips and scolded him in a bad mood: "Look at children around your age; some are already married with children, and you? Now that someone is finally willing to take you, what is there to be picky about? Hurry and pack your things to prepare for marriage!"

Yan Si stamped his feet anxiously and argued again: "But Mother Consort, shouldn't this matter be discussed with Father first?" The Princess Consort parted her red lips and said: "Oh, your father; we already discussed this matter before."

"Thinking that the Dongying Emperor probably can't bear to let his daughter marry far away, so at that time we thought why not just let you go. Anyway, our family has many children, and our family assets are abundant; we don't lack you to support us in old age."

Hearing these words, Yan Si was stunned as if struck by lightning; he widened his eyes, looking at the Princess Consort in disbelief, and silently cursed in his heart: "You people like this... simply treat me as an expendable existence!"

However, before he could open his mouth to explain, the Princess Consort continued immediately: "Then it's settled! I will call your father to enter the palace for an audience and ask the Emperor to issue an edict for you to marry into Dongying." Saying this, the Princess Consort made a move to stand up, preparing to go find An Wang.

Seeing this, Yan Si hurriedly rushed forward, tightly grabbing the Princess Consort's sleeve, and shouted anxiously: "Mother Consort! Mother Consort! Just now I was joking; you must not take it seriously!"

Hearing this, the Princess Consort stopped her movement, turned her head, and stared at Yan Si doubtfully, asking: "What's wrong? Is it not okay to let you marry over there? Is this Dongying Emperor so hard to deal with? If really not possible, I will let your father personally go to Dongying, and we will give more dowry items; surely that will work?"

Hearing this, Yan Si's face was full of black lines, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead; he silently complained in his heart: "Mother Consort, you are so eager to push me out, it makes my worth seem so cheap, as if worth nothing!"
