Little Matchmaker

The marriage between the Li family and the Xu family was settled.

Both families, without any prior coordination, decided to place their orders for the wedding pastries and gifts at an inconspicuous Hui Nu Pastry Shop in the West Market.

From anyone's perspective, this marriage, which was granted by the Empress, had to be related to the Little Matchmaker, and it was certain that the arrangements would be finalized at her house.

Li Yunqing's second aunt, while interacting with the Xu family, also had Li's father write a letter back to Longxi. This matter definitely needed to be communicated to the child's parents.

When Li Yunqing’s parents received the letter, they were probably completely confused.

And it wasn't just the groom's parents who were confused.

The bride’s family had no idea what to say either.

The happiest person was probably Xu Yuanwai, who, though only a fifth-rank official, felt incredibly fortunate to be connected to Li Yunqing, the nephew of the Minister of Revenue.

Let alone the fact that the Empress had granted the marriage.

The front courtyard was filled with joy, while the back courtyard had a slightly strange atmosphere.

There was certainly no dissatisfaction with the match. After all, what family wouldn’t be happy with such a good marriage?

However, more than anything, there was confusion.

Why?

The head of the Xu family felt in her heart that of her three daughters, why was it the youngest who had the best marriage prospects?

Whether it was the Zhang family that her grandparents had wanted to settle on her, or now the Li family, both had chosen the youngest daughter as the most outstanding.

Her beloved third and fourth daughters didn’t have the same luck.

This awkward feeling dulled some of the joy, and the servants didn’t dare to say much.

But unfortunately, no matter how awkward she felt, no one could change the situation.

The Li family was not as easygoing as the Zhang family.

Their interactions with Li Yunqing’s family were only possible because of Xu Xiaomei.

Xu Xiaomei lived in the courtyard that had been her grandparents' before. The main house was sealed off, and she read in a nearby room.

Since the provincial exam results were posted, she had hardly left the house.

It wasn't because she was under house arrest, but simply because she was too lazy to go out. The royal marriage decree was issued, and her astonishment was genuine.

A royal marriage decree?

She and Li Yunqing were actually granted marriage by the Empress?!

Xu Xiaomei’s eyes were filled with confusion. She didn’t quite understand what was going on.

In any case, now both the Xu and Li families were preparing for the wedding. Was she really going to marry Li Yunqing?

Xu Xiaomei felt a bit embarrassed.

Putting everything aside, that person was truly handsome.

It was also quite nice.

While Xu Xiaomei was happy, Xu family’s third miss was equally angry.

For the past few days, she had been crying in front of her mother, and Xu family’s matriarch was heartbroken.

But this was something hard to console.
