The young women of the scholarly Yun family were famed for their beauty. Third Miss Yun Qingyin married Mo Hanyou, the richest man in Yuncheng. At the wedding, eldest sister Yun Qian'ge crossed paths with Zhao Qingchuan, the husband of second sister Yun Siyu, and Mo Hanyou, her third brother-in-law. They were supposed to have merely passed each other by, but both brothers-in-law fell for their "eldest sister-in-law."
While rescuing Han Tingxuan, she saw this promising top scholar reject a princess in the throne hall and ask the emperor to grant him a marriage to Qian'ge, all but forcing her to wed him. She initially refused, but the heads of the family and the matriarch, eager to curry favor with the powerful, hid the marriage arrangement from her. In the end, she was "bundled" into the wedding hall. She berated Han Tingxuan for saying one thing and doing another. She hoped Hanyou would come and snatch her away, and at last she escaped.
The wedding snatching had been an act. Perhaps they could make it real.
