Sister Jin, who was waiting outside the door, saw the room door suddenly open, Nangong Lingyan ran out with a blushed face, and in a blink, she entered the neighboring room, while soon after, Yang Mengchen came out with a smile on his face, making it obvious that something good had happened, so they didn't inquire further.

At the lunch table, Yang Mengchen told his family about the happy news of Yang Chengxuan and Nangong Lingyan's engagement.

Hearing his brothers' congratulations, even as a man, Yang Chengxuan couldn't help but lower his head in shyness.

Several elders were very pleased with this match.

Wu Xuehua was particularly overjoyed, as she watched her two sons gradually grow up. The family was poor before, and she worried that her sons wouldn't find wives, but now both her sons had found such good matches. The two daughters-in-law got along well and were close to Jiujiu, but she couldn't help but wonder if the Nangong family would agree?

Yang Chaowen and his wife were of one mind, "Jiujiu, we need to inform the Nangong family about this, to see what they think."

"Don't worry, uncle. I have already sent someone to deliver a message to Uncle Nangong. I am sure we will hear back soon," Yang Mengchen explained with a smile.

Although the Nangong family had its ancestral teachings, their family had no entanglements with the royal family, so Uncle Nangong and his kin were unlikely to object.

Most importantly, Aunty Nangong had hinted during their first meeting that it was not easy for Sister Lingyan to get married, and their family didn't have so many rules and neither divorces nor takes concubines, so Uncle Nangong and his kin would likely be happy to see it happen.

Naturally, the elders felt reassured.

After a moment's hesitation, Yang Mengchen said, "There's another thing. Grandpa Kong and Grandpa Shao want Third Brother and Fifth Brother to succeed them. If you agree, Third Brother and Fifth Brother will have to leave home."

Apart from the eighth sibling and Xiao Wanxue, who were already privy to the matter, the elders all fell silent. Liu Xiuyun was especially saddened; her eldest son had just gone to the border, and now her second son was about to leave as well. She was reluctant, but she knew that as her sons grew up, they couldn't stay at home forever, which wouldn't be good for them.

Oh well, as it was their choice, she could only offer her support.

Holding his wife's hand and seeing her looking over, Yang Chaowu's gaze was as tender as water, "You still have me!"

Liu Xiuyun responded with a loving smile. To have married her husband and to have this warm and harmonious home was the fortune she must have cultivated over several lifetimes. She was very content.

After a while, Old Master Yang asked Yang Mengchen, "Jiujiu, when will Chengxuan and Yu Er be leaving?"

"Let's wait until Third Brother and Sister Lingyan's engagement is settled," Yang Mengchen answered. "I plan to let Sister Lingyan go with Third Brother. Once they are engaged, it will be proper, and Sister Lingyan is skilled in martial arts and smart as snow, so they can look after each other."

"That's a good idea," Grandpa Yang nodded, and the other elders also had no objections.

The Yang family didn't have so many restrictions, and they were all in good health, so they didn't need daughters-in-law to serve them. Having the children together would foster their relationship, which would benefit their marriage in the future.

After lunch, Madam Yang Zhou and the three daughters-in-law started happily preparing the items for the engagement, though of course, this was not publicized.

Now that everything was out in the open, Nangong Lingyan was too embarrassed to spar with Yang Chengxuan and stayed in her room all day, absentmindedly smiling to herself. Nangong Lingyao, Sister Duan, and others found it odd, but they didn't ask too much.

Unable to see his beloved, Yang Chengxuan was naturally distracted and restless. He wanted to visit the side building but was afraid that Yanyan would be unhappy. Not going made his heart suffer as if it were being scratched by a cat, so he felt forced to seek his sister's help.

Yang Mengchen couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. True to form, people in love couldn't bear to be apart from each other, not even for a second.

Seeing his sister just laughing and not offering a solution, Yang Chengxuan was flushed with urgency but dared not rush her.
