Master Tao’s aged face was filled with helplessness, “At this point, there is no other choice. Shall I send someone to the Xiao Family, asking Xiao Yishan to come over and discuss the marriage?”

Tao Meijiao nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a servant came to report, “Master Tao, there is a woman outside the door, claiming to be a maid named Shuang’er, from the Lady of the Xiao Family head’s household, here to discuss some matters.”

“The Xiao Family has never had dealings with our Tao Mansion, what could it possibly be about?” Master Tao hurriedly stood up, “Let her into the hall, I’ll be there shortly.”

“Yes.” The servant obeyed and went on his way.

Tao Meijiao frowned, “Dad, rest, I’ll go and see…”

“You are pregnant, take good care of yourself,” Master Tao looked at her with a great deal of care, “No matter who the father of the child is, the one in your belly is the heir of our Tao family, you must protect it well.”

“I will take good care of the child in my womb. I’m not that delicate, going to see will not be a problem.”

…

In the Tao Mansion hall, when Shuang’er saw Tao Wangde, she bowed, “Maid Shuang’er, greets Master Tao.”

“Please rise quickly, Shuang’er,” Even though she was just a servant girl, because she was a personal maid to Lady Xiao, Master Tao was still very polite.

“So it really is Lady Xiao’s maid.” Tao Meijiao had seen Shuang’er before and directly asked, “What brings you to our home?”

Shuang’er spoke frankly, “Master Tao, my Lady wishes for your daughter to take Xiao Yishan in a matrilocal marriage.”

“This…” Tao Wangde and his daughter looked at each other.

“What, do you disagree?” Shuang’er’s expression turned stern, “Master Tao, if you don’t comply, my Lady has said, should any trouble arise at the Tao Mansion later, it will be your responsibility alone to handle.”

Tao Wangde hurriedly agreed, “We agree.”

“Very well then,” said Shuang’er. “I will return with the message to my Lady and ask Xiao Yishan to come over. We’ll pick an auspicious day for him to marry your daughter.”

“Fine.” Anyway, he and Meijiao were just previously discussing this matter, and now with Lady Xiao’s intervention, it simply played into their hands.

After Shuang’er left, Tao Wangde said, “One cannot go against the will of the Xiao Family. It is fortunate that other marriage proposals have not been set.”

Tao Meijiao was well aware of the great power of the Xiao Family, “I did not expect Lady Xiao to intervene in Xiao Yishan’s marital affairs.”

“That is the benefit of being relatives with the Xiao Clan.” Tao Wangde thought for a moment, “Lady Xiao intervening in this matter is probably due to considering Xiao Yuchuan’s position. It shows that Xiao Yuchuan not only holds no grudges about the swapped child in swaddling clothes incident but also cares for Xiao Yishan as his brother. Xiao Yishan marrying into our Tao Mansion will bring benefits to us.”

“I don’t care about benefits; I just want to live a simple life from now on,” said the girl.”

…

The Xiao Mansion
Xiao Yishan was summoned by Shuang’er to Yi Garden to meet with Shen Yun.

His tall and sturdy figure bowed to her, “Lady Xiao.”

Shen Yun was sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, with plates of cakes and a pot of tea in front of her.

She held a teacup in her hands and ordered indifferently, “Tell him the outcome.”

Shuang’er said, “Xiao Yishan, our Lady has already arranged your marriage. You will go to the Tao Mansion shortly, as the Tao family has asked you to discuss the auspicious day for the wedding and matrilocal marriage.”

“So soon?” Xiao Yishan was quite surprised. It had only been several hours since Lady Xiao agreed to the matter by midday.
