Tang Mansion, study.

"What, Yue'er and the Bai family's marriage?"

Tang Jiang has been worried about the matter between Tang Wanru and Zhou Ziyue these past two days. He felt uncomfortable when he thought that Tang Wanru would not agree to marry Zhou Ziyue and he would lose this high-ranking relative who would be of great help to his future.

He wondered why he gave birth to such a stubborn donkey like Tang Wanru.

Now that he heard Liu and Tang Yue'er talking about marriage with the Bai family again, he was really overwhelmed.

Why are they bringing up this incident that happened eight hundred years ago?

Seeing Tang Jiang was unhappy, Liu explained: "Master, Tang Wanru's marriage is about to be finalized, and Yue'er is only a few months younger than Wanru, so why not get them both fixed at the same time? Then we can have a double celebration."

Double happiness?

Tang Jiang thought that if Tang Wanru didn't nod, he wouldn't be happy at all.

Tang Jiang frowned and said, "Why do you think of this thing that happened eight hundred years ago? At that time, I had a very good relationship with Mr. Bai, but we haven't been in touch for many years, and the relationship between our two families has become much more distant. Moreover, the Bai family has not visited us for two years since they returned to Beijing. I think he didn't mention the marriage at the time. Now that I suddenly come to his house to bring up this matter, it's a bit..."

"Master, the relationship is getting closer and closer. How can you get closer if you don't go?" Liu said, "Besides, can you just break the promise? This is too frivolous."

That is indeed true.

But Tang Jiang still looked at Tang Yue'er who had been lowering her head: "Yu'er, have you seen the second son of the Bai family?"

Tang Yue'er was stunned, and answered shyly and honestly: "Father, we only met once."

Tang Jiang saw her expression and guessed something: "Why, do you like her?"

Tang Yue'er's face turned red when she was asked, and she looked at Liu with a shy and helpless look.

Liu said angrily, "Master, look at what you are asking. How can you expect Yue'er, a girl in the boudoir, to answer?"

Tang Jiang chuckled.

Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. I understand that my daughter has her own little thoughts.

But he really doesn't care about this now.

Seeing the door, Liu said hurriedly, "Master, the Bai family is different now than before. Although they have only been in Beijing for two years, they are already a well-known wealthy businessman in Beijing. The family tradition is pure and progressive."

"What's more, Bai Yanli, the second son of the Bai family, is handsome, suave and a rare talent. Yue'er will not suffer any loss if she marries him."

"Then again, this family is in front of everyone in the capital. If we don't settle this matter, it will be troublesome if someone else gets there first."

That being said.

But Tang Jiang said, "I remember that Yue'er had a crush on a nobleman before. The Bai family is a pure merchant family. If she marries him, she will never have a chance to be a politician in her life."

"Master!" Liu said, "Everyone has their own destiny. No matter how hard Yue'er tries, she may not be as lucky as Wanru to marry into a marquis's family. We can't force our children's marriage. Let Yue'er marry into the Bai family and live a worry-free life."

"Besides, Yue'er likes it."

It is true.

Tang Jiang thought that it would be enough to let Tang Wanru marry into a marquisate to pave the way for his Tang family. He favored this daughter more.

It would be better to let her marry someone she likes.

"Forget it." Tang Jiang said, "Since Yue'er likes it, I will send an invitation to visit the Bai family tomorrow."

"And by the way, let's formally finalize the marriage between the two of you."

There is no point in worrying about Tang Wanru's matter. It would be better to settle Tang Yue'er first. Tang Wanru saw that her sister was engaged.

You never know, something might suddenly dawn on you.

Tang Yueer was extremely happy when she heard this: "Thank you, Dad!"

Yongninghou Mansion.

Madam Du of the Marquis's Mansion was taking a nap when she heard some clanging noises in the yard. She walked out dragging her maid's hand and saw Zhou Ziyue moving things out of the warehouse. There were several large wooden boxes open in the yard.

Mrs. Du felt her heart tighten: "Zhou Ziyue! What are you doing?"

Zhou Ziyue glanced at her and continued to put several jade ruyi in the warehouse into a box with two servants.

He said in a neutral tone, "Marry the Tang family's legitimate daughter." After a pause, he added, "If you don't prepare a full set of marriage proposal gifts for me, then I will prepare them myself."

After hearing this, Mrs. Du almost vomited blood.

This prodigal son.

"Didn't I give you a solution? Didn't you save the legitimate daughter?"

Zhou Ziyue murmured, "I saved the concubine's daughter."

Legitimate daughter? Concubine's daughter?

Mrs. Du felt dizzy.

"Which one do you want to marry? Isn't it the concubine's daughter?" She remembered the first time Zhou Ziyue said that the other party was a concubine's daughter.

Zhou Ziyue was also very annoyed.

"The legitimate daughter! I want to marry the legitimate daughter of the Tang family!"

Mrs. Du thought that the two women from the Tang family were really going to turn the Marquis's Mansion upside down!

"If you didn't save her, then that means you and the Tang family's daughter are not meant to be together!" Mrs. Du said coldly, "You should find someone else."

No fate?

Zhou Ziyue was furious. What was the point of being rejected before? Thinking of the way Tang Wanru rejected him, he felt that he couldn't swallow this breath.

He will capture her and bring her back even if he has to!

Let her know that she can only marry him!

Zhou Ziyue seemed not to hear and continued to move things into the box.

Mrs. Du was almost out of breath as she watched Zhou Ziyue move all her treasures into boxes.

She suppressed her anger and said, "Zhou Ziyue, there are so many women in Beijing. If you say you want one, they will line up to find you. Why do you have to hang yourself on the tree of the Tang family?"

"I am willing."

Zhou Ziyue said stubbornly, "I, Zhou Ziyue, will never marry anyone other than Tang Wanru in this life!"

Crazy?

Du's gums are about to be bitten to pieces!

She shouted angrily, "Put your things down! Anyone who dares to move things out of the mansion today will be kicked out and never come back!"

The people who were helping to move things were so shocked that they immediately stopped what they were doing.

Capital city, Anfeng Tower.

Tang Wanru sat in a private room on the second floor and watched the hustle and bustle of the city below. Yingchun was arranging something downstairs.

She took a sip of tea, and An Feng Lou's shopkeeper Li Yun ran up to her and said, "Miss, I found out where Wu Ling is."

"Oh?"

Wuling is a good medicine for treating palpitations.

Heart palpitations are Lin Yunrou's old illness. In her previous life, Lin Yunrou died of heart palpitations caused by a cold.

Regardless of whether someone had tampered with her mother's heart palpitations in the previous life, Tang Wanru must first cure her mother's illness in this life.

To avoid future troubles.

In her previous life, Tang Wanru learned in the palace that there was a traditional Chinese medicine called Wuling that was very effective in treating palpitations.

It's just that this herb grows in the south of the Yangtze River. It's very rare in the capital except in the palace. It would be great if I could combine it with Wu Ling to make a medicine for my mother.

So she has been looking for Wu Ling everywhere these two days.

Li Yun said: "Wuling grows in the south of the Yangtze River. Because it is inconvenient to pick, the quantity is very small. It is rarely available in major medicine shops in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone in the capital." Li Yun said, "But recently, I am very lucky. A batch of fresh dried Wuling has indeed been shipped to the capital."

Without waiting for Tang Wanru to ask, Li Yun continued, "The Bai family, the richest family in Jiangnan, opened their business in Beijing two years ago. In addition to treating palpitations, Wu Ling has the effect of whitening the skin after application, so the Bai family recently transported a batch of dried Wu Ling to Beijing for use in the production of extremely expensive incense powder."

Bai family?

Tang Wanru suddenly thought of someone.

"Bai Yanli?"

"That's right." Li Yun nodded.

Although Tang Wanru did not know this person, she was well-known. In her previous life, Tang Yue'er did not marry Zhou Ziyue, but married Bai Yanli from the Jiangnan Bai family.

After his death, Tang Yue'er was brought into the palace by Zhou Ziyue.

She doesn't know what other people are like.

But she knew that in his previous life, he had the same ill-fated fate as her and died young.

Thinking of this, Tang Wanru couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"The Bai family's business has been booming in the capital over the past year, thanks to Bai Yanli's management. He is a good businessman."

"Yeah." Tang Wanru nodded, thoughtfully.
