Two hearts unknowingly drew closer, and their honesty allowed them to break through the final shackles. With a single glance or expression, they understood each other's thoughts.
However, this tranquility was soon disrupted by external factors. The people of Ten Li Pu would naturally not disturb the two; to them, these two remained legendary figures, and it seemed only natural for them to do whatever they pleased.
In the past, if a man and woman held hands on the street, even if they were an unmarried couple, it would have been seen as a breach of decorum. But now, with Liu Qingxi and Yang Yichen, everything felt so natural.
In the Liu Family Courtyard, Wen Family wore a refreshing light green long skirt that added a touch of coolness to the hot summer. Beneath the lush grapevines, the woman delicately watered the carefully planted flowers with a spray bottle in her slender white hands.
The vibrant flowers blooming on both sides of the corridor complemented the woman's gentle and slender figure, creating a beautiful picture.
Anyone who saw such a scene would be reluctant to break this tranquility.
The longer they lived in the countryside, the more serene Wen Family became, merging body and mind with nature. This gentle and unpretentious aura warmed people's hearts and made them feel drawn to her.
It seemed to possess a unique charm that attracted others.
At that moment, the doorman reported, "Madam, Master Yang has arrived!"
Everyone knew who Master Yang referred to. However, the servants in this household had also heard about what happened with Yang Family and consistently referred to Yang Bingshan as Master Yang.
Wen Family slowly set down the spray bottle and looked toward the entrance. Regarding this nominal husband, all she could do now was treat him like an ordinary person; he wasn't even a friend.
The fluttering feelings she had for him during her youth had gradually faded over time, just like her currently calm heart.
"Please let him in," Wen Family's soft voice echoed.
The couple drifted further apart. Even though Yang Bingshan often created unexpected encounters, to her eyes, they were merely free jokes.
As for that man regaining her heart? Ha! At her age, how could she be so easily swayed like a young girl? Even if she were moved, it wouldn't be by someone who had hurt her countless times.
It was rare for this man to take the initiative to come to the courtyard.
"What brings you here?" Wen Family said lightly as she observed the man in his elegant attire exuding mature charm.
"Wen Suling, can we not be so distant?" A hint of hurt flashed in the man's eyes.
"Please feel free to instruct me on any matters, my lord." Wen Family maintained a calm and indifferent expression, polite yet distant.
Realizing that further discussion would be futile, Yang Bingshan decided not to dwell on this issue. Reflecting on his past mistakes, he still believed that Wen Family was merely holding back her anger.
With their son now grown, and considering Wen Family's previous sincerity towards him, he couldn't believe that she could be so heartless as to completely forget him.
Perhaps men with a strong sense of masculinity often think this way, believing that Wen Family was simply suppressing her rage.
However, this was not the main reason for his visit today. Clearing his throat, the man stated his intention: "I came today to discuss Yichan's marriage."
Wen Family looked up in shock; this man had the audacity to interfere in their son's marriage.
What about the past ten years? When he doted on Liang Mei'er and allowed her son to bully Yichan, why didn't he think about this then?
The woman's brows furrowed slightly; her already delicate figure appeared even more fragile in the man's eyes, evoking a sense of protectiveness within him.
Suppressing her discomfort, Yang Bingshan continued, "I was wrong in the past, but regardless, I am still Yichan's father. Now that he is seventeen, how can you, as his mother, not care about his marriage? After all, at this age..."
At this point, Yang Bingshan's masculinity surged again. Perhaps it was due to Yang Yichen's indifferent attitude towards him over the past two years that made him believe their relationship had improved, leading him to unconsciously meddle in his son's marriage.
If Wen Family had been anxious before, after discussing with Yang Yichen, she already knew her son's thoughts and intended to give him ample freedom.
"Yichan has his own plans. As elders, we should not interfere too much. Besides, he is already engaged to Qingxi; marriage is just a matter of time."
Wen Family did not want to bring such matters before her son and add to his worries; she directly countered Yang Bingshan.
"That won't do. After all, I am his father. Recently, many people have come asking about Yichan's marriage, including several officials from the Fifth Rank and Sixth Rank."
"What?" Wen Family's voice suddenly rose: "Yang Bingshan, what do you mean by that? Don't you know that Yichan is already engaged? Are you trying to use his marriage as leverage?"
"After all these years, you really haven't changed, still unscrupulously disregarding family ties, trading his happiness for your wealth?"
Yang Bingshan was interrupted fiercely by the Wen Family before she could finish her words: "You woman, truly short-sighted despite your long hair. Yichan is someone who will navigate the officialdom; how can he succeed without any backing?"
"I know that girl Liu Qingxi; she's a good child. But you must understand, she is just an orphan. Even if she has money now, what help can she provide for Yichan's career?"
"Think about it again. If Yichan had strong support, his path in officialdom would be much smoother, and he would have to struggle for fewer years."
Such thoughts were the views of most people; after all, if given a choice, most children from humble backgrounds would choose to have a powerful backer.
But is Yang Yichen such a person? Is the Wen Family like that?
The answer was certainly no. Yang Bingshan felt increasingly frustrated as the Wen Family grew angrier. Even she, who had always been relatively good-tempered, couldn't help but explode: "Stop with the grandstanding; we've been married for many years, how could I not understand you?"
"Did the other party give you some benefit? Or do you want to climb up to wealth yourself?" Seeing Yang Bingshan's slightly changing expression, the Wen Family revealed a mocking smile: "I guessed it right!"
Yang Bingshan was left speechless, swallowing hard and arguing: "Even so, Yichan has gained quite a bit; I'm still doing this for his sake!"
"Oh Yang Bingshan, deep down you really haven't changed at all. I thought you had changed a lot in these two years, but you're still wearing the face of a cunning merchant. Even if Yichan is already engaged, even if he isn't engaged, I wouldn't gamble with his marriage or his lifelong happiness."
"So what? If he truly loves Liu Qingxi, then at worst they can carry her into the house and let her settle in!"
