Madam Yan's Matchmaking Pavilion for Men

14 Sweet Words, Finally in Love

At the same time, General Yu left Madam Yan's matchmaking pavilion and returned home in a great mood, making the whole General's manor abuzz with happiness. Could it be? That stoic man had finally lost his heart to a maiden?

Yu Huang Rong's mother, Madam Yu, stared at the servant that had accompanied him to the matchmaking pavilion and raised her brows. "You say that again! My son did what?"

The servant grinned. "The General stayed back and went to the pavilion at the bank of the Fen Hua river again with Madam Yan. They talked for half an hour and when the General returned, he smiled like ..." An idiot. The servant coughed and scratched his neck. "Like the happiest man on earth!"

Madam Yu clasped her hands. "Aiya!" Could it really be her son had fallen in love? "Maybe I should go and see that Madam Yan. Who is the girl? Do we know her? Which family is she from? Should we already gather the presents? There'll be so much to prepare for the wedding! Why didn't Huang Rong come here and explain himself?!"

The servant's face twitched. "Uh ... The General said he had something very important to do. He immediately rushed to his quarters. This servant doesn't know what he's doing there. I came here to report right away. I thought Madam should know about what happened at the matchmaker's."

"Mn, you're right about that. Have one of the servant girls go over for now and see what he's up to." Ah, for now, she couldn't do anything but wait. Haish, this son of hers! Couldn't he at least take the time to come and inform her himself? Even if he was in love now, what could be important enough to rush off like that? He was making people worry needlessly!

A few minutes later, the servant girl that had gone to check on Yu Huang Rong came running back.

Madam Yu got up from her chair and eagerly stared at her. "So? What did you see? What was he doing?"

The servant girl uncomfortably squirmed on the spot. "He seemed to be searching for something important, Madam, but I don't know what that could be."

Madam Yu sat down again and sighed. That child! Why was he being so secretive? Didn't he know that people were waiting to hear about the meeting at Madam Yan's matchmaking pavilion? Just how long did he want her to worry?!

"Alright." She got up with a huff and waved at her maid. If her son didn't want to come over, then she would go and inquire herself. Hmph, this child! He was being even more troublesome now that he was in love. "Let's go and see for ourselves then. I'd like to see if he dares not to tell his mother when I'm standing in front of him."

Her maid nodded. "Of course, he wouldn't dare! I'm sure he'll be happy to tell you, Madam. He was probably just too excited and forgot to come to tell you about the event first."

"True, true. That child was always like that. How come he's still so brash after all these years in the military?" She sighed and the two women made their way over to the General's chambers.

Just when they reached the door, it was opened and Yu Huang Rong stepped outside. He raised his brows and his gaze slipped to the end of the corridor. Shit. Why had his mother come over? He couldn't let her find out about Zhang Shi Lan!

"Huang Rong." Madam Yu smiled happily. Seeing her son who didn't even dare to meet her eye, she couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed her son had indeed fallen in love. Why else would he be so embarrassed that he wanted to flee right when he saw her?

They should have a good talk so that she could help him with securing this marriage. After all, the servant had said that another seven gentlemen had been invited. One of them was even the emperor's cousin, Luan Chang Fu! What if he liked the same girl? Wouldn't her son be left out in the cold then?! She couldn't let that happen!
