When Su heard Mu Yan's voice, tears welled up in her eyes again.

This was the first time Mu Yan called her mother since she returned to the mansion.

"Mom..." Mu Yan whispered.

Rumors in the capital were becoming more and more rampant. Everyone knew that Miss Su was disfigured. Her reputation was damaged, and even those who had intended to propose marriage to her backed off.

However, on this day, shocking news spread throughout the city.

Shen Siyan, the second son of the Shen family, went to the Su family in person to propose marriage, hoping to marry the daughter of the Su family.

This sudden news shocked everyone in the Su family.

In this troubled time, there is actually someone who dares to propose marriage, and he is from the famous Shen family in the capital!

Shen Siyan is not only handsome, but also young and promising. He is highly appreciated by the emperor in the court. He has always been the ideal husband that many women dream of.

Therefore, when people heard that this noble young man had taken a fancy to the daughter of the Su family, the whole mansion was in an uproar.

In the reception room, Shen Siyan sat there. Although he looked calm and composed on the outside, it was not difficult to tell that he was actually a little uneasy inside.

As Su Taigong slowly walked into the hall and coughed lightly to remind him of his arrival, Shen Siyan immediately stood up respectfully to greet him: "Senior Su, hello."

Facing this visitor, Su Taigong appeared to be extremely cautious and observed the other party carefully.

The Su family is no longer what it used to be. From the perspective of power or wealth, it is incomprehensible why such an outstanding young man would choose to propose marriage at this moment.

"The purpose of your trip... is to propose marriage to our Yunzi?" Su Taigong asked tentatively.

"That's right." Shen Siyan answered firmly and sincerely.

Hearing this, Master Su frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm sure you've heard about Yun Zi's story. Her appearance was severely damaged and it may be difficult to restore it to its original state..."

However, Shen Siyan remained unusually calm: "For me, what's important is her as a person, not her appearance. Miss Yunzi is smart, considerate, and exactly the kind of person I admire."

Seeing this, Su Taigong couldn't help but feel surprised and relieved. It turned out that Shen Siyan and Yunzi had known each other for a long time and had been in love with each other for a long time. This made the worried old father finally put down the stone in his heart.

"In that case, it is indeed a little late for you to come and propose marriage this time." Su Taigong said half-jokingly.

At the same time, the good news quickly spread throughout the Su Mansion, and even Yunzi's personal maid Yu Shu learned the good news.

She had been worried about the young lady's low mood in the past few days, but now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief, because even after experiencing the changes, Yunzi can still get the sincere love of an outstanding man.

The young lady will be very happy to hear the news.

She couldn't wait to rush into the room and said excitedly: "Miss, the head of the Shen family is here to propose marriage."

Mu Yan raised her eyes, was slightly startled at first, and then the corners of her mouth rose slightly. Sure enough, Shen Siyan came... I didn't expect that Ye Yunzi was so important in his heart. Just because of a small incident, he decided to come to ask for marriage.

This makes things much easier.

Yu Shu's face was full of joy, but when she saw that the young lady's reaction was not enthusiastic, her smile faded, "Young lady, the head of the Shen family is here to propose marriage, aren't you happy?"

Mu Yan gently stroked the veil on her face. Beneath it was a secret that only she knew: a scar.

She lowered her eyes and pretended to be melancholy. "If Si Yan saw my face, would he be scared?"

"No, Master Shen is not that kind of person." Yu Shu shook her head firmly.

"But I'm worried that I'd let him down if I married him with this face..." Mu Yan didn't finish her words.

The Shen family proposed a marriage proposal again, which surprised the Su family.

Not long ago, they tried once through a matchmaker, but were rejected because Ye Yunzi was unwilling.

This time it was the Second Young Master Shen who came in person.

Su frowned and fell into deep thought: "Let's just refuse!"

Madam Zhao advised, "Madam, since the Shen family has come to visit us twice, it means they are sincere. How about listening to the young lady's opinion before making a decision?"

"That's right."

Su also had his own considerations in mind.

The sincerity shown by the Shen family is a good thing. When rumors were spreading in the capital, the second young master Shen still insisted on coming to propose marriage, which shows that he didn't care about Yunzi's appearance at all.

"Okay, let's go ask Yunzi what she thinks."

With a hint of uneasiness, Su went to discuss with Mu Yan.

Mu Yan's face flushed with shyness, and she nodded gently, "My daughter is willing."

"Yunzi, are you really willing to marry the Second Young Master Shen?" Mrs. Su was surprised at her daughter's change of attitude.

"My daughter is willing."

Although Mu Yan answered shyly and affirmatively, Su's inner worries were still not eliminated.

Even a man of high moral character may change his mind because of appearance. The young master of the Shen family has never seen Yun Zi's disfigured appearance. If he really sees her, will he still maintain the same determination to propose to her?

In order to ensure her daughter's future happiness, Su decided to invite Shen Siyan for a small test.

Shen Siyan was called from the front hall. Su looked at him from head to toe and saw that he was tall and handsome, a rare good-looking young man in the capital.

"Go and chat with Yunzi. She has been thinking about you all the time." Su said gently.

"Okay." Shen Siyan nodded slightly and strode into the courtyard. Looking at his back, Su sighed softly.

Aunt Zhao looked a little worried, "Madam..."

"As long as he can treat Yunzi sincerely and is willing to take care of her for the rest of his life, I will agree to this marriage." Su now only hopes that her daughter can be happy.

Walking into the yard, Shen Siyan saw a thin figure standing under a bare pear tree from afar. The woman's gaze passed through her veil and looked at him with a hint of coldness.

But when Shen Siyan approached, she quickly put away that expression and replaced it with a shy face, "Master Shen..."

Shen Siyan's gaze stayed on her face, examining her carefully.

Mu Yan suddenly remembered the flaws in disguise that Ye Yunzi had mentioned. The mole in the eye was the most difficult part to conceal.

Therefore, she instinctively lowered her head to avoid direct eye contact with Shen Siyan.

After a moment, Shen Siyan gently raised his hand and stroked her cheek, "I'm here to marry you."

Under the veil, Mu Yan's lips curled up into a cold smile, but on the surface she nodded meekly, "Okay."

"Do you remember our conversation on Mount Qingcheng?"

Mu Yan blinked her eyes and shook her head with an innocent look, indicating that her memory had not yet recovered.

"It's okay to forget. I will never let you leave my side again." Shen Siyan looked at her gently, his eyes full of expectations for the future.

The two families agreed on a marriage contract and exchanged tokens. Shen Siyan suggested getting engaged first and then getting married after Ye Yunzi recovered, and the Su family readily accepted it.
