Chapter 418: I believe it if you say my mother-in-law is only years old!
After Yu Qingyi settled down in the Marquis' Mansion, she sent a visiting card to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion the next day.

Yang Yunxue gave birth last month, adding a daughter to the Changping Marquis's Mansion.

Yang Yunxue has not yet finished her confinement, so Yu Qingyi can only visit her first.

But according to the time, Yang Yunxue is about to leave the confinement period.

With Yang Yunxue's cultivation and physical condition, it was completely unnecessary for her to stay in confinement after childbirth. If it weren't for the wife of Marquis Changping keeping a close eye on her, Yang Yunxue would have run away long ago.

When Yu Qingyi arrived at the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, she naturally received a warm reception.

Especially Liang Han, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Changping, smiled like a flower after seeing Yu Qingyi.

"Oh, please come in, mother-in-law."

"I haven't seen you for several years, and my mother-in-law is still so young!"

"Look at her complexion and skin. I'd believe you if you said my mother-in-law is only 28 years old!"

The flattering words poured out in baskets.

Thinking back to when Liang Chu chose to marry into the Yang family, she was somewhat reluctant in her heart. Although she did not show it, she actually looked down on the Yang family in her heart.

Although Liang Jinyan is not the eldest son, he is also the legitimate son of the eldest wife of the Changping Marquis’ Mansion.

At that time, the Yang family was indeed marrying above their station.

But now?

No one expected that in just a few years, the Yang family would be granted the title of nobility.

Before she, the eldest daughter-in-law, became the marquis's wife, Yu Qingyi, her mother-in-law, became the marquis's wife first.

"My mother-in-law hasn't changed. She's as young as when Yunxue got married!" Yu Qingyi smiled gently.

"Ah, I can't compare to you. I'm old and ugly now!"

Speaking of her own appearance, Liang Han was even more envious of Yu Qingyi.

I envy Yu Qingyi's unchanged appearance, I envy Yu Qingyi for being the head of the Yang family, I envy Yu Qingyi for not having a bunch of little sluts around her to cause trouble.

Before Yang Yunxue and Liang Jinyan got married, Liang Hui had no concubines. However, in recent years, Liang Hui has taken in two concubines and even had a bastard son. It would be strange if Liang Hanshi felt comfortable about this.

Let’s take a look at the Yang family’s family rules. One can take a concubine only if he is childless by the age of 30.

This alone is enough to attract countless daughters of officials to flock to the Yang family.

Thinking of the Yang family's family rules and the eldest grandson of the Yang family, Liang Han's eyes lit up, "I heard that Chengye also came to Beijing?"

"Well, the master wants him to come and broaden his horizons." Yu Qingyi said with a smile.

"Chengye is old enough to get married, so it's your family. If it were someone else's family, Chengye would have already arranged a marriage at his age." Liang Han said.

Yu Qingyi still maintained a gentle smile, "In fact, I have been looking for a suitable candidate for Chengye. In Liaodong, I have already found a few good young ladies from official families!"

"How can Liaodong compare to the capital!" Liang Han raised her hand and said, "It's a pity that I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would definitely marry my mother-in-law!"

"By the way, my niece has a fourteen-year-old daughter who is currently looking for a husband. Mother-in-law, would you like me to be a matchmaker?"

Liang Han finally expressed her little thoughts.

Her family was not an ordinary family either, and the daughters of ordinary families could not marry into the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion, let alone become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion.

Liang Han was born in the Han family of Wanping County, which was one of the two counties under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture.

Because of its proximity to Kyoto, there are many official families in Wanping County, and the Han family is one of them.

Because the Changping Marquis's Mansion had always been outside the circle of nobles, the people it chose to marry into were generally the families of military commanders in border towns or the families of officials around Kyoto.

The Han family of Wanping County does not have a deep foundation, nor does it have much influence in official circles. In the entire Han family, only the head of the Han family, Han Yunting, is an official, serving as the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces.

Generally speaking, the marriage between the Han family and the Yang family was not considered marrying up, after all, the Yang family was only a hereditary marquisate, and when the title was passed on to Yang Chengye, he was only a second-class earl.

The Han family is a family that has passed down poetry and literature. Although there have been ups and downs, as long as the younger generations work harder, they may be able to make a comeback at any time, even if Han Yunting passes away.

Just like the Lu family in Anning, the head of the Lu family has now resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown, but the Lu family is still the largest wealthy family in Anning County. Even the Yang family's status in Anning County and Jing'an Prefecture is still lower than that of the Lu family.

Liang Han said she wanted to be a matchmaker, but Yu Qingyi didn't mind. Wasn't her main purpose of coming to Beijing this time to find a match for Yang Chengye? Liang Han mentioned this matter, which was exactly what she wanted.

Of course, she wouldn't agree to it right away.

"Mother-in-law, Chengye's marriage still needs the master's approval. You also know that it is not easy for me to make the decision on such matters!" Yu Qingyi said with a smile.

She was the second wife, and although she was the mistress of the Yang family, she was not Yang Chengye's biological grandmother after all.

She can arrange Yang Chengye's marriage, but she cannot make the decision completely on her own to avoid gossip.

Liang Han also knew Yu Qingyi's difficulties and said with a smile: "Haha, it's me who is rude!"

"Not abrupt, not abrupt!" Yu Qingyi shook her head, glanced at Wang behind her, and said with a smile: "If it's appropriate, I will definitely not object. Let's do this, when I go back, I will talk to Mingcheng and his wife and let them understand the situation first!"

Hearing this, Liang Han's smile became even more eager, "Of course, it should be so. Let's wait for news from my mother-in-law. Whether this succeeds or not, it will not affect the relationship between our two families!"

After all, this matter still needs to be done slowly. Liang Hanshi doesn't think that she can make the Yang family fall in love with the Han family's daughter just by talking.

Besides, she hasn't informed her parents about this matter yet. It's just a spur of the moment decision, so there's no need to rush.

The two were chatting about family matters. After a while, a maid came into the main room and invited Yu Qingyi to go to Xishoutang.

Xishou Hall is the residence of Marquis Lin. Liang Chu is now 58 years old, and Marquis Lin is 56 years old, which is definitely considered an old lady in this world. However, Lin is still in good health. She chatted with Yu Qingyi and Wang for more than an hour, and then kept Yu Qingyi and Wang in Xishou Hall for dinner. She did not let them leave until the afternoon.

After leaving Xishoutang, Yu Qingyi and Wang finally met Yang Yunxue.

"Mother, sister-in-law!"

Seeing Yu Qingyi and Wang, Yang Yunxue was naturally filled with joy.

It's a pity that she is still in confinement after giving birth, otherwise she would have run out to greet Yu Qingyi and Wang Shi long ago.

Yu Qingyi walked into the room where Yang Yunxue was recuperating after childbirth and looked at the baby in the cradle next to her. "This must be Qingqing, right? Look at her features, they are almost exactly like Yunxue's!"

Liang Qingqing, Yang Yunxue's daughter, has eyes and eyebrows that are exactly like Yang Yunxue's.

"Really? It's exactly the same as Yunxue when she was a child. Wow~~" Wang said in amazement.

She entered the Yang family earlier than Yu Qingyi. At that time, Yang Yunxue was only five or six years old, and her eyebrows and eyes had not yet opened, just like a baby now.

Yang Yunxue looked at the little girl lovingly and smiled gently, "They all said Qingqing looks like me!"

Yu Qingyi looked at Yang Yunxue and asked, "How are you? Are you okay?"

At this time, Yang Yunxue had a rosy complexion and tight skin. She still looked like a young girl and did not look like she had given birth to two children at all.

"Don't worry, mother. My cultivation has already reached the fourth level of the acquired realm!" Yang Yunxue raised his fist and said proudly.

When it comes to practice, Yang Yunxue really has never slacked off. Except for the few months when she gave birth to her baby, she has been practicing hard almost every day.

Now she is twenty-three years old and her cultivation has reached the fourth level of the acquired realm. If she does not have a baby, perhaps she can make further progress.

But even so, her progress in cultivation still shocked Liang Chu.

Acquired martial artists in their twenties are not uncommon in Kyoto, but a martial artist who has reached the fourth level of acquired martial arts at the age of twenty-three is definitely one of the best among his peers in Kyoto.

"Yunxue is still amazing. I have only cultivated to the fifth level of the acquired realm now. I estimate that in a few years, Yunxue will catch up with me!" Wang said with a smile.

"How dare you say that? I asked you to practice, but you just wanted to be lazy every day. Just wait and see, in a few years, not to mention Yunxue, even Qingwan will surpass you!" Yu Qingyi said unhappily.

Yu Qingyi has always been the one who supervised the female members of the Yang family in their cultivation. It was really difficult for Yang Zhengshan to urge his daughter-in-law to cultivate. It was okay for him to say a few words, but he couldn't always stare at his daughter-in-law while she cultivated.

Therefore, ever since Yu Qingyi came into the family, she has been responsible for the cultivation of the female members of the Yang family.

Over the years, the women of the Yang family have all made achievements in martial arts, but the most outstanding one is actually Liang. Liang entered the martial arts world late, and began to practice late, but now her practice is not worse than Wang and Li, and is even better.

As for Wang, you can tell from her figure that she has been lazy a lot.

As for Li, Li's aptitude is really poor. Even with the nourishment of spiritual spring water, it cannot be considered outstanding, but only average. Now his cultivation has just broken through to the fifth level of the acquired realm, which is nearly a year later than Wang.

"Mother, I'm busy with housework!" Wang said with a flattering smile, holding Yu Qingyi's arm.

Yu Qingyi looked at her fat face and lost her temper in an instant.

Among the three daughters-in-law, Wang is actually the most likable one.

Wang is a little clever, but her cleverness sometimes seems particularly stupid, which does not make people feel disgusted.

Coupled with her optimistic nature, few people have a bad impression of her.

Seeing Wang looking at Yu Qingyi with a flattering expression, Yang Yunxue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Sister-in-law hasn't changed!"

"How can I not have changed? I am now the eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion." Wang raised her chin and said complacently.

"Yes, you are now the eldest lady of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. You are different from before! Hehehe~~" Yang Yunxue couldn't help laughing.

The three of them were talking and laughing in the room, and the sound of their laughter made Liang Jinyan in the yard breathe a sigh of relief.

Damn, my wife is finally in a good mood!

If things get any worse, I won’t be able to live like this!

During this period, Liang Jinyan's life was extremely difficult.

The Marquis' Mansion has its own rules, and Yang Yunxue has her own personality. When there is no conflict between the two, everything will be peaceful. But if a conflict occurs, the one who will feel the most uncomfortable is Liang Jinyan, who is caught in the middle.

There are naturally a set of rules for the women in the Marquis's mansion to observe during the confinement period. The Marquis's wives, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Liang Han, were afraid that something might happen to Yang Yunxue, so they asked Yang Yunxue to follow the rules during the confinement period.

But Yang Yunxue felt that she didn't need to observe confinement after giving birth. Three to five days of rest would be enough after giving birth. There was no need to stay in this closed room for a month.

Yang Yunxue would definitely not tell Madam Hou and Liang Han, so she could only express her frustration to Liang Jinyan.

This made Liang Jinyan feel distressed, sad and uncomfortable, not to mention how miserable he was.

On the second day after visiting the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, Yu Qingyi took Wang to visit the Duke of Ningguo's Mansion, mainly to visit Zhou Lan.

Yang Zhengshan and Zhou Lan were familiar with each other, but Yu Qingyi and Zhou Lan were not familiar with each other, and the two had only met twice.

However, Zhou Lan is a heroine in the army, and Yu Qingyi used to be a female knight in the martial arts world. Both of them are extraordinary women who are not fussy about trivial matters and do not flatter the world. When they sit together, they will not have nothing to talk about. On the contrary, they seem to have similar interests.

Yu Qingyi once fantasized about becoming a female general, and Zhou Lan once fantasized about traveling around the world and doing justice.

Women like them can never get along with those ladies from wealthy families.

The two of them were drinking and chatting happily, which was quite charming.
