Tang Jiang silently resented Lin Yunrou. She was such a brainless person. If she hadn't followed Tang Wanru's lead in refusing the marriage proposal, how could she be in this situation today?

Tang Jiang said hurriedly, "Madam, it was really a misunderstanding. When the Zhou prince suddenly came to propose marriage, we in the Tang family were flattered and lost our composure for a moment, so the matter did not go through. The prince took the gift back. We regretted it afterwards."

"Oh, I thought the threshold of your mansion was too high and our mansion couldn't reach it." Mrs. Du deliberately teased.

"No, no, the fact that the prince likes my Wanru is due to the good deeds done by our Tang family's ancestors. How dare I have such thoughts?"

Mrs. Du sneered in her heart, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said arrogantly: "Master Tang, there are some things I have to say."

Tang Jiang said: "Madam, please speak."

Mrs. Du curled her lips and said, "Master Tang, we in the Yongning Marquisate have only this one son. He has been spoiled since he was young. You have seen how he has grown into a vigorous and heroic man."

Tang Jiang nodded: "Yes."

"To be honest, there are so many noble ladies in the capital who are flocking to him and secretly dreaming of marrying into the Yongning Marquis's mansion. As long as he nods, there will be any woman he wants, no matter how many he wants."

"But I don't know why, but I just fell in love with this one in your family."

Even the housekeeper Zhang Bai couldn't stand it anymore.

What happened to his lady?

Tang Jiang also sensed something was wrong, but he didn't dare to refute it. He just nodded and said, "Yes, it's fate."

"What kind of fate is this? He is just stupid!"

Tang Jiang: ...

"Forget it, I've thought it through. After all, I only have this one son, so I'll just leave him alone. We can't sever the relationship between mother and son because of such a small matter."

Trouble?

Tang Jiang complained in his heart but nodded awkwardly.

"That's why I'm here now." Mrs. Du said and glared at Zhou Ziyue in annoyance.

Zhou Ziyue lowered his head and said nothing. Mrs. Du suddenly asked Tang Jiang, "Is this enough? Or does Mr. Tang have any other requests?"

How could Tang Jiang dare to make any other requests?

He hurriedly said, "Madam, you are too polite. Your presence here today is a great honor to the Tang family."

"That's it."

Mrs. Du sneered and glanced at Zhou Ziyue.

She thought to herself, is it necessary for Zhou Ziyue to make such a big fuss at home?

Must she come?

She felt that her presence was a waste.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Du stood up and said, "That's it, it's settled, I'm going back now."

"I'll send someone to tell you a date in a few days, and you can just send the person over."

So fast?

Tang Jiang was stunned. Seeing her confused, Mrs. Du frowned and said, "Why, isn't the gift enough?"

"Enough, enough." Tang Jiang nodded quickly.

"Yes." Mrs. Du nodded and started to leave. The group of people following her also hurried to catch up.

Zhou Ziyue became more and more anxious.

Tang Wanru hasn't come out yet. Why is she leaving when nothing has happened yet?

"Mom." He called her in a low voice.

Mrs. Du turned back coldly.

"Miss Tang hasn't come out yet." The focus is not on Tang Jiang, but on Tang Wanru.

What the hell is he doing here?

Mrs. Du snorted coldly.

She thought to herself that her son was such a loser. How could she not explain it to him even after she had said so much? There was only a little girl left, and she still needed to explain it in person.

Never mind, I’m here anyway.

Mrs. Du frowned and took back her foot. She sat down again and asked coldly, "Where is your daughter?"

"The one who's going to get married."

"Let her out!"

Tang Jiang: ...

Tang Jiang turned around and looked at the housekeeper Zhang Bai. Zhang Bai hurriedly said, "Madam, go and call them. They will be here soon."

Mrs. Du really didn't want to stay in this small place anymore. She waved her handkerchief and said, "Let her hurry up. There's no need to dress her up too much."

Your identity is already there, whether you dress up or not, so what’s the point?

The important thing is not to waste her time.

"Go and shout again quickly." Tang Jiang saw that Mrs. Du was annoyed, so he waved his hand and instructed Zhang Bai.

Zhang Bai turned around and was about to go, but he saw the servant who had been sent to call for help coming back. But no one was behind him.

"Where are the people?" Zhang Bai asked in surprise.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the mansion became a little nervous and said, "The eldest lady has gone to visit the garden."

"What?" Tang Jiang was surprised. "What garden are you visiting? Didn't you tell her about the Marquis' Mansion? Did anyone come from the Marquis' Mansion?"

"She said so." The attendant glanced at Madam Du, "She went only after she said so."

Tang Jiang: ...

Mrs. Du's face suddenly sank.

Qingyu Courtyard.

"How is it going? Is the marriage settled?" As soon as Liu Qiu came back, Tang Yue'er couldn't wait to come forward and ask.

"No." Liu Qiu replied, "The young lady hasn't come yet. The people in the front hall are waiting for her."

"You haven't come for such a long time?" Tang Yue'er felt strange, but soon understood, "Humph, a woman who has never seen the world!"

"She's probably afraid that the Marquis's wife won't like her, so she keeps dressing up." Tang Yue'er sneered, "This time she's really serious and doesn't dare to act pretentiously anymore."

If she continues to treat her like this, her marriage will really be ruined.

It seems that her previous guess was correct. No matter what Tang Wanru said, she was just showing off.

Thinking of this, Tang Yue'er felt more at ease. She couldn't wait to get the news that Tang Wanru agreed to marry into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. It was really unbearable to stay in the house and wait, so she walked out and prepared to wait for the news in the courtyard near the front hall.

So she walked out holding her skirt. As soon as she went out, she heard a burst of laughter, and then someone bumped into her from the side. Tang Yueer couldn't dodge in time, and her body tilted and was about to be knocked down, at this time a hand hooked her waist from behind and supported her.

After taking a closer look, I saw that it was Tang Wanru.

"Sister, are you okay?" Tang Wanru was playing in the yard with Yingchun and other little maids. She ran in a hurry and bumped into Tang Yue'er who had just come out of the door.

Tang Yue'er was very surprised to see her. Shouldn't she be in Qinwanyuan, busy dressing up carefully at this time?

Why are you here?

"Sister, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Tang Wanru smiled happily, "Aren't you here too?"

"No." Tang Yue'er said, "What I mean is, isn't there someone coming to the front hall? Didn't Daddy ask you to go over there?"

"Oh." Tang Wanru seemed nonchalant, "I was just about to go over there."

Tang Yue'er was speechless: "Sister, there are guests in front, you have to hurry over there, don't make the guests wait anxiously, it will make the daughter of the Tang family look unruly."

"Yes. My sister is really thoughtful. I'll go right away." Tang Wanru nodded, played with Yingchun and other maids for a while, then went to the front hall nonchalantly.

Tang Yue'er frowned and moved closer from a distance.
