A farce was forcibly stopped at the sound of a light cough.

Ahem...

Everyone turned to look at the flat-roofed house.

They saw an old lady with silver hair, holding a cane fashioned from an ordinary tree branch, and a kindly smile on her face coming out.

Upon seeing the old lady, everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to her.

Yin Tian also turned his head and had already guessed the identity of this old lady.

The protagonist of this birthday celebration.

Old Madame Meng!

Old Madame Meng walked out from the house, accompanied by a dull middle-aged man by her side.

"What’s with all the commotion? I’d like to join in the fun as well,"

said Old Madame Meng with a smiling face.

"There was a small situation at home that made Old Madame watch a farce,"

said Chen Shengguo with a dry laugh to Old Madame Meng.

Old Madame Meng waved to Chen Yu, and she immediately walked over to Old Madame Meng’s side and reached out to support her by the arm.

"In fact, I heard every word you all said clearly. Yu has grown up under my watchful eye, and she is like half a granddaughter to me,"

said Old Madame Meng nonchalantly. "If she is to marry, then the man must also pass my test."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful lady’s face immediately beamed with a radiant smile.

She had been afraid that Yin Tian would marry into the Chen Family.

But with these words, Yin Tian’s marrying into the family seemed not to be an easy matter.

Old Madame Meng turned her head, smiling at Chen Yu beside her, "Girl, do you like that man?"

Chen Yu was stunned, not expecting Old Madame Meng to publicly ask her such an embarrassing question.

Feeling the gazes of everyone gathered on her, Chen Yu’s face flushed red, yet she still nodded slightly.

"Then marry him,"

said Old Madame Meng without hesitation.

Everyone: "??"

Yin Tian: "??"

He had thought he would need to deal with Old Madame Meng especially, but he hadn’t expected her to be so easygoing.

"Grandma Meng...

Chen Yu looked shyly at Old Madame Meng, almost wishing she could leave the spot.

"Grandma Meng."

Mr. Duan obviously couldn’t sit still. He stepped forward with a radiant smile, "This is a rare Wanyan Flower I specially prepared for your birthday."

As Mr. Duan spoke, he stepped forward and respectfully lifted the brocade box in his hands.

"A Wanyan Flower? I’ve heard of it, and you are thoughtful, young man,"

said Old Madame Meng with a gentle nod and a smile, clearly very pleased with Mr. Duan’s gift.

Mr. Duan, wearing a smile, heard Old Madame Meng praise him, and immediately seized the moment to say, "Actually, I have another matter I wish to discuss with you, Grandma Meng."

"What is it? Speak," 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I have fallen for Miss Chen at first sight and hope that Grandma Meng will allow me to be with her,"

declared Mr. Duan publicly. "I will treat her well, and should she not wish to marry, I am willing to join the Chen family!"

Yin Tian: "??"

These words sounded so familiar, didn’t they?

Weren’t those the very words he had just said not long ago?

Yet in the blink of an eye, Mr. Duan had stolen them!

"You’re also interested in my family’s Yu?"

Old Madame Meng glanced at Mr. Duan.

Mr. Duan nodded vigorously as if he truly was fond of Chen Yu.

However, Chen Yu’s face was full of resistance.

Seeing this, Yin Tian also stepped forward, taking out the small porcelain bottle again, "Grandma Meng, this is the Zhuyan Pill."

"A Zhuyan Pill?"

Old Madame Meng’s eyes lit up.

Her age was significant, and she knew more than these younger people present.

Especially since the Meng Family originated from a Medical Family, and although she had married into it, she still knew a thing or two about those miraculous pills that had been lost since ancient times.

"Yes,"

confirmed Yin Tian with a nod, "It is indeed the Zhuyan Pill."

"Grandma Meng, you mustn’t be fooled by this young man’s tall tales,"

blurted out Mr. Duan without hesitation, "I have never heard of this man before, and today he suddenly appears here; I really doubt his intentions."

"I may not be a big shot, but I know quite a few sons of nobility in the provincial city, and I have never met him."

Yin Tian’s brows furrowed slightly.

Did this guy think he had a good temper, after being targeted by him repeatedly?

Yet Mr. Duan continued to speak out aloud, "What right does such a man with an unclear background have to be with Miss Chen? To present an ambiguous potion and call it the Zhuyan Pill."

"Just now, this guy wanted to trade his so-called Zhuyan Pill for my Wanyan Flower, so Grandma Meng, you really need to watch out,"

said Mr. Duan, implying dishonesty in Yin Tian’s motives.

After listening, Old Madame Meng turned to look at Yin Tian, "Is what he just said true?"

"I did come here today indeed for the Wanyan Flower, but I didn’t expect to meet Yu as well,"

responded Yin Tian decisively.

"My feelings for Yu are genuine, as heaven and earth can witness."
