Jiang Wanru and Jiyuan were having lunch, listening to Jiyuan's mother talk about the good news, seeing the bright smile on her face. Jiang Wanru felt a little envious of that big sister she had never met before, in the happy events of life, even people who weren't by her side could be happy for her.

  Ji Yan's mother-in-law looked at Jiang Wanru's expression and quickly explained, "The young master's wife is a good person." Jiang Wanru nodded after hearing this. Every good woman who gets married is initially a good woman. Ji Yan smiled and said to Jiang Wanru, "I've seen the young master's wife, she smiles very warmly and feels very comfortable. I heard from the people around Fourth Miss and Fifth Miss that 'if you can follow the young master's wife, your days will be especially comfortable.'" As soon as Ji Yan finished speaking, her mother-in-law let out a soft "hmm" of warning.

  Jiang Wan smiled and listened to Ji Yan's words, nodding her head and saying: "Then I also hope everything goes smoothly for her." Ji Yan's mother carefully observed Jiang Wan's expression, seeing that she didn't mind Ji Yan's words at all. She let out a sigh of relief and smiled, saying: "Our family's Ji Yan following Third Miss is also very good." Ji Yan's face turned red as she looked at her own mother, Jiang Wan covered up the smile in her eyes, nodding her head and saying: "Having Ji Yan follow me is a fortunate thing for me."

  After Jiyu left, Jiyun saw her off. The empty courtyard was left with only Jiang Wanru standing alone. She stood in the courtyard, listening to the spring breeze, but her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. As she grew older, marriage was imminent. The Jiang family wouldn't keep her for long, after all, she had blocked the marriages of several people behind her. Even though the Jiang family had a string of good news recently, it couldn't stop their determination to marry her off.

  Jiang Wanru stretched out her hands, slender fingers, clean and elegant palm lines. Jiang Wanru hoped that the good man would not be too bad, at least in the future he could let her go. Jiang Anhe and his wife came down from the excitement of the good news, the couple rarely had lunch together, calmly discussing the marriage of their daughters. Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Anhe with a difficult expression: "Wanru is already over 14 years old, thinking about the next few daughters, her marriage can't wait any longer."

  She will be of marriageable age early next year, and for her sake, I have searched several good families, but others, one by one, upon hearing that it is she, would rather choose Wen Ya or the younger Wen Qing, than choose her. Master, unless in her marriage, our requirements are not too high, as a legitimate wife, I think her temperament is also unsuitable, why not just make her a concubine of a good family?

  As soon as she spoke, Jiang An's expression changed greatly, and he glared at her fiercely, saying: "When the Yu family came to take away Yu XiXi, they sent a message to Father, saying that 'her last words were that her daughter must become the legitimate wife. If not, even if she becomes a ghost, she will not let go of the Jiang family'." Madam Jiang felt extremely wronged in her heart when she heard this. It was Jiang An himself who had brought about the affair of welcoming Yu XiXi into their home back then. Now that he mentioned Jiang Wan's marriage, his tone seemed to shift the blame onto herself, making her feel that it was her own fault for not handling things properly.

  Jiang An glanced at Jiang Dafu's desolate eyes and suddenly realized that he had wronged the person, thinking of his wife's kindness. He thought for a moment and said to Jiang Dafu: "Take a look at those people inside, is there anyone suitable for Yu Ya and Yu Qing? If so, we can first settle on someone. As for her marriage, I'll go talk to Father about it first, see if he has any good ideas. She should get married early, otherwise the Yu family will not let our family go."

  Madam Jiang heard the answer she wanted to hear and smiled at Jiang Anhe, saying: "Just now I was in a hurry and didn't want her marriage to affect the marriages of the other good girls. Alas, such troublesome things need to be taken care of by you, husband." Jiang Anhe looked at her calm expression and listened to her considerate words, suddenly sighing and saying: "Wen Lun is about to have a firstborn son, time flies quickly. In these years, the family matters were well managed thanks to your efforts."

  "I saw Jiang Wan's happy face yesterday, and I think you were right back then. What matters most is our daughter's happiness." Madam Jiang's eyes reddened as she listened to Jiang Anhe bring up old times, remembering how Jiang Wanyi had cried and begged her to agree to the marriage back then. At that time, Jiang Anhe was constrained by the verbal engagement between Lian Zimo and Jiang Wanjun, and never relented. It wasn't until she mentioned it in passing to their ancestor that he smiled and said, "Without a marriage contract, this engagement will eventually fall through. If so, why not let our own children be together?"

  Jiang An and saw Jiang Dafuren's eyes redden again, smiled lightly, stretched out her hand to pat her a few times, saying: "We should have a legitimate grandson soon, but the lady seems to be sentimental." Jiang Dafuren heard this, couldn't help but laugh and say: "Old master you're teasing me, I'm just happy. Wen Xuan and Wan Yi both have children, my heart can finally rest easy. Seeing that our ancestors and parents are healthy, all the kids are good, I can sleep soundly."

  The Jiang family is calm and peaceful, but the major aristocratic families of the Ning dynasty are somewhat restless and cannot calm down. The imperial court has small fluctuations from time to time, and when there are no major events, someone will deliberately stir up small waves. The Yu and Jiang families, one a low-key ancient aristocratic family and the other a newly risen aristocratic family, have different stances, originally not interfering with each other, but unexpectedly became sworn enemies due to their children's marriage.

  Mr. Jiang returned home that day and heard that his eldest grandson's wife was pregnant, the smile on his face had not yet dissipated, and he followed his son in to discuss Jiang Wanru's marriage. Old grievances plus new hatred, for the sake of his father's appearance, hated his son for provoking people who shouldn't be provoked, but in reality, he secretly thought his son was doing well, letting someone else's legitimate daughter cry and shout, willing to become a concubine just to enter the Jiang family.

  Mr. Jiang listened to Jiang Anhe's mention of Jiang Wanyu's marriage with a sullen face, and he looked at his eldest son and sighed: "When will you use your cleverness in dealing with women on your career? You must be better than me." Jiang Anhe was embarrassed by these words and blushed on his not-so-young face. He said in a low voice: "As for official business, I still need to ask Father to point out one or two things from time to time."

  "Her marriage is indeed a bit difficult to arrange, she doesn't have the looks, not at all like you and Yu Xiuxiu's daughter. She doesn't have any talent either, maybe she can't even recognize a few big characters. Alas, her marriage, if it can be settled soon, that would be best, then we'll see how her husband's family is, and decide whether to continue the relationship or not. I will quietly spread the word out, and see how the Yu family reacts to this matter, before deciding on a suitor for her."

  Jiang An was satisfied with the answer and was delighted, accompanying Jiang Da Ta Ye to say a few words, and then inquired about the big things that happened this morning. Jiang Da Ta Ye's face was filled with worry as he instructed his son: "An He, if Ruan Yi comes back, remind her to be careful in everything she does, it's best for her to stay at home and rest. The Wang Ye Fu is calm and peaceful, but the collateral branch of the Lian family is quite restless."
