Chapter Thirty-Six: Enduring Once More

  "Our Lingmu Mountain Villa's sister-in-law must have several conditions. First, the status must be noble and match our Lingmu Mountain Villa. Second, the character must be good, our Lingmu Mountain Villa's eldest miss can't be bullied by others after getting married. Third, wealth can't be too weak, although Lingmu Mountain Villa is not short of money, it's precisely because of this that we can't let our eldest miss suffer. And the most important point is..."

  Ye Yun's three conditions seemed ordinary, but the five matchmakers all felt deeply pressured.

  Lingmu Villa is the number one villa in the world, and those that can be compared to it are countable on one's fingers. It's not an easy task to pick a suitable candidate from among them.

  As long as the first point is met, the second and third points will naturally be achieved.

  But has the lady in front of her brought up an even more important condition?

  The five matchmakers all hung up their hearts and guessed in their minds what kind of harsh conditions would be set.

  Ye Yunduan paused for a moment, her eyes sweeping over the five of them, taking in their expressions without missing a single one.

  "That person cannot be inferior to Yan Qing, the son of the Crown Prince's mentor. At the very least, they must be equally matched."

  As soon as Ye Yun spoke out, a matchmaker immediately started shouting.

  "That's all well and good. But Yan Qing is also someone related to the Crown Prince, so finding someone of equal status to him won't be easy."

  The clamoring person was none other than Wang the matchmaker, one of the women who had once bullied Ye Yun along with Yu Shi.

  Ye Yun's eyes lifted, her gaze sharpened, unangrily yet authoritative.

  "This is an easy task, will you still find me? Among so many matchmakers in the capital, I specifically chose a few of you. Why? Isn't it because I heard that you are the golden matchmakers of the capital? Without you, no matchmaking can be done. If I've chosen the wrong person or if you think you can't do it, then put down the painting and silver now and leave. I won't stop you. From now on, your golden matchmaker signboard will also be unnecessary. Change careers early and do something else."

  Everyone's face turned pale, glaring resentfully at the garrulous matchmaker Wang.

  With the power of Lingmu Mountain Villa, what they say can be done.

  As long as Ye Yun said so, let them change their profession, then they can't mix in this line anymore.

  They have been in this line of work for almost their entire lives. Now that they've finally gained some fame, how could they possibly switch careers?

  "Please rest assured, madam. I'll take care of this matter. I will definitely find a satisfactory husband for the young lady." One of the matchmakers hastened to express her stance and determination.

  One after another, they eagerly expressed their willingness.

  "Ma'am, don't worry, I happen to know a few capable people. They'll take care of these things for you."

  "Madam, this matter can be settled with just one word from you, and I will take care of it immediately."

  ……

  The matchmaker's face turned blue with rage.

  At this time, she threw down the silver and retreated, but she was unwilling. Giving up would mean changing her profession, even if she couldn't succeed as a matchmaker this time, she didn't want to change professions!

  But just now everyone said so, and at this time, she also can't afford to lose face by going back on her words.

  Ye Yun elegantly took a sip of tea without even raising her eyes, "Matchmaker Wang, what do you say? Should we or shouldn't we?"

  The matchmaker Wang gritted her teeth.

  What's face? Those are all virtual things. In order to keep her current reputation, she has done many shameless and unscrupulous things.

  "Alright! Alright! Of course I'll do it! I will definitely put in my best effort to get this thing done!"

  Ye Yun raised her eyes and looked at her lightly. Her gaze seemed to have a piercing power.

  The matchmaker's eyes dropped down in embarrassment.

  That's right! She said that just to placate. As long as a few others make an effort, she'll just go through the motions and it'll be fine.

  This little thought shouldn't be seen through, right?

  "Alright, then. I'll have to trouble you all a bit more. Ah yes, here's a token of appreciation after the task is complete." Ye Yun patted the wooden box beside her hand, which was roughly the size of a jewelry box.

  Receiving five pairs of curious eyes, Ye Yun smiled slightly.

  This is exactly what she wanted.

  Long and slender white jade fingers gently lifted the clasp on the wooden box, revealing the pearls inside.

  Pearls and precious artifacts, each one worth a city, the five matchmakers looked at them with wide eyes, they had never seen so many precious jewels in their lives, any one of them would be enough for them to live a life of luxury.

  Looking at their infatuated expressions, Ye Yun coldly smiled.

  She won't let them have a chance to slack off. What Ye Yun said cannot be ignored by others.

  Anyway, these jewels aren't hers, use them as you like.

  Seeing a full box of jewelry, Wang's casual plan to brush it off suddenly vanished.

  This full box of jewels, with a bit of effort maybe can be obtained. Once obtained, that is several lifetimes of leisure!

  No need to be a matchmaker and look at people's faces anymore.

  Five people made up their minds and promised again.

  Of course, this time's promise is much more powerful than just now.

  Money can make a ghost grind a millstone.

  Ye Yun sighed inwardly as she let Xing'er see off the guests.

  Before she could even leave, a pale pink figure rushed in and flipped over the table in front of her before she could react.

  Ye Yun looked up in shock and gazed at Ling Wei who was furious.

  "Ye Yun, don't think that just because my brother brought you back, you're already the mistress of Ling Mu Manor. You haven't even married my brother yet, and you're already acting so shamelessly as if you own the place. Do you really think you're my sister-in-law? Ha! What a joke! Let me tell you, as long as I, Ling Wei, am around, you'll never be able to act so arrogant in Ling Mu Manor!"

  Ling Wei pointed at Ye Yun's nose and scolded loudly, "How? Only three days have passed, and you can't wait to drive me out? Is it because you can't bear my brother being good to me? Hmph! I'm telling you, I won't let you succeed!"

  Ye Yun let out a "heh" and smiled, looking up to see everyone's shocked expressions, waving her hand: "Sorry. Couldn't help it."

  Everyone present was in disarray.

  She wouldn't be fooled, would she?

  "Ling Wei, whether you believe it or not, I'm doing this entirely on your brother's orders. As for me being shameless and acting wildly in the Ling Mu Mountain Villa...” Ye Yun paused, her lips curling up slightly, a hint of sharpness flashing in her eyes, “I really can't wait to get away from the Ling Mu Mountain Villa. Who wants to deal with all your family's troubles?"

  Ye Yun's eyes flickered, and she glared at the matchmakers still standing in their original positions. Her sweet smile carried a hint of ruthlessness, "What are you still standing there for? Don't you know the principle of not watching or listening to what is not proper? Whoever dares to speak out of turn will be asking for trouble."

  The matchmakers quickly turned around and left, not daring to stay any longer.

  Ling Wei let out a cold snort, "What? Afraid of people finding out about your ugly business?"

  Ye Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and she was truly angry. "Ling Wei, just because I'm tolerating you for your brother's sake doesn't mean I'll keep tolerating you."
