Chapter 600: Chapter 551: No Destiny_1

After Madam Zhou left, Daohua became somewhat silent, and Zhou Jingwan glanced at her with puzzlement several times.

After the two had finished washing up and lay in bed, Zhou Jingwan could not help but ask, “Yiyi, what’s wrong with you? Why do you seem so preoccupied?”

Daohua forced a smile, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, “Jingwan, after your eldest brother gets married, you will go to Beijing. Do you know what you are really going to do there?”

Zhou Jingwan answered without hesitation, “Of course, we are going to visit relatives and friends.”

Looking at the unaware Zhou Jingwan, Daohua struggled internally for a while before speaking subtly, “You see, your elder brother is getting married tomorrow. Once his matter is finished, won’t your Aunt Zhou start arranging a marriage for you?”

Zhou Jingwan nodded gloomily, “Mhm.” However, she quickly smiled again, “My mother said she will respect my opinion. If I don’t like someone, she won’t force me.”

After speaking, she turned towards Daohua with a smile.

“Isn’t your Aunt Li also starting to look for someone for you?”

Daohua shook her head, “I still have several older brothers. Besides my eldest brother and fourth brother, there’s also the second brother from the second branch, and the third brother from the third branch. Their marriages need to be arranged before it comes to me. My mother said she wants to keep me at home for a few more years.”

Zhou Jingwan smiled, “I am not in a hurry to marry either. I want to stay at home for a few more years too.” Saying this, she paused, then turned to face Daohua, “Yiyi, Aunt Li hasn’t started looking for girls for Brother Yan Wentao, has she?”

Brother Yan Wentao… _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

Such an affectionate term of address; Jingwan must also feel fond of the third brother, right?

Daohua shook her head, “Not yet. If my mother starts choosing a wife for third brother, I will write to you immediately.”

Zhou Jingwan nodded repeatedly, “Good, you must tell me.” After speaking, she felt her reaction was a bit too strong. She sheepishly smiled at Daohua and lay back down.

Daohua sighed, looked at the canopy overhead, and prayed in her heart that the third brother would receive her letter and come over soon.

…

The next morning, the Zhou Residence was bustling with noise.

Zhou Jingwan got up early to have breakfast with Daohua, then ran off to help Madam Zhou with one task after another.

Daohua had not slept well last night and felt somewhat under the weather, so she went to the guesthouse where Madam Li was staying to catch up on sleep and did not go out until the bridal sedan chair arrived.

Watching the complicated wedding procedures, Daohua felt tired on behalf of Zhou Chengye and the bride.

Zhou Jingwan followed Madam Zhou all day and did not get the chance to speak with her alone.

Daohua understood in her heart that Madam Zhou was doing this on purpose. She guessed that Madam Zhou had seen that Jingwan was interested in the third brother and was afraid Jingwan would create a scene if she divulged their true purpose in going to Beijing.

In the evening, when everyone went to tease the bridal chamber, Madam Zhou finally had a moment to rest. She saw Madam Li and Daohua seated at the table and sat down next to them, “Are the dishes to your liking?”

Madam Li laughed, “They are lovely. It’s just that with so many delicious dishes, I can hardly manage to eat them all.”

Madam Zhou laughed, “As long as you’re happy with the food, I’m happy.” She looked at Daohua apologetically, “Several girls from the clan arrived unexpectedly, and with all the guest rooms full, I had no choice but to arrange for them to stay in Jingwan’s courtyard. I’m afraid they might disturb you tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Li immediately understood Madam Zhou’s implication and laughed, “Since Jingwan has to entertain other guests, why don’t we have Yiyi come back and rest with us?”

The regret on Madam Zhou’s face deepened, “It’s my fault for not arranging things properly, resulting in this inconvenience. I’ve put Yiyi out.”

Madam Li pretended to be displeased, “What are you saying? With the relationship between our two families, you needn’t be so formal. This is no big deal. Wedding affairs are naturally complicated, and you have to attend to everything. It’s understandable that something might slip your attention.”

Daohua’s spirits drooped, “Is there really no chance?”

…

The day after Zhou Chengye’s grand wedding, Madam Li took her leave from Madam Zhou.

Previously, Madam Zhou would have asked Daohua to stay a few more days, but this time she did not say a word.

Jingwan did actually want to keep Daohua, but she was dissuaded by Madam Zhou.

On the boat back to Ningmen Prefecture, Daohua stood on the deck, silently watching Xingzhou City gradually fade into the distance.

Yan Ying had returned, but unfortunately, the letter she had written had not reached third brother’s hands.

Third brother, Xiao Yeyang, and fourth brother were out on a mission, with no definite return date.

And at this very moment!

Daohua sighed. In a couple of days, the Zhou Family would be heading to Beijing City with her eldest brother.

Was it really fated that third brother and Jingwan should not be together?

Daohua’s mood remained low all the way until she returned to the Yan Residence.

The trip to Xingzhou City could really be described as going with high hopes and returning in disappointment.

Seeing Daohua deep in thought, Madam Li considered for a moment then directly tasked her with checking the betrothal gifts.

With work to keep her busy, Daohua had no time to dwell on other matters.
