After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Looking at Mrs. Jiang's shocked expression, Jiang Ci Yan realized that he was a little anxious.

But he doesn't regret it.

"Mother, you heard me right. The one my son wants to marry is the daughter of the current imperial tutor, Feng Yiyun."

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a long time and said, "Why suddenly..."

Jiang Ci Yan then told Mrs. Jiang about his correspondence with others and what Jiang Ruoli was thinking.

It turned out to be the case.

I didn't expect that the boss, who is usually calm and steady, would actually have private correspondence with a woman.

Madam Jiang said seriously, "If that's the case, then we need to make plans early."

"My son has the same idea." Jiang Ci Yan said.

"However," Madam Jiang glanced at Jiang Ciyan, "Are you sure that Miss Feng is in tune with you?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water, poured on the flame beating in Jiang Ci Yan's heart.

Yes, I only said that the other party will express his feelings later, and did not say whether he is interested now.

Mrs. Jiang understood.

"How about this, I'll ask someone to go to the Feng family to sound out the situation. But don't mention the exchange of letters between you and Miss Feng for the time being, for the sake of the Miss's reputation."

Jiang Ci Yan nodded in agreement.

When Duke Jiang returned home, he heard Madam Jiang talking about Jiang Ci Yan's marriage, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"He really is! He really is!"

Duke Jiang paced back and forth in the room in annoyance.

After a while, he slumped in the chair in frustration.

"Forget it. The eldest brother is not young anymore. Some of the boys of the same age are already fathers. It is rare for him to find a woman he likes." Duke Jiang said dejectedly.

For the sake of his son's happiness, he could only put aside the "disputes" in the court and be more polite to Tutor Feng in the future.

Mrs. Jiang shook her head helplessly.

On the second day, Madam Jiang sent someone to invite Madam Zuo, her close friend from her youth and the wife of the Minister of Rites.

Madam Zuo is not only Madam Jiang's close friend, but also a famous matchmaker in Kyoto. She is eloquent and all the noble families are willing to look for her when they are looking for marriage partners.

Before entering the front hall, Mrs. Zuo's voice came in.

"My dear sister, is there going to be a happy event in the family?"

Mrs. Jiang laughed, and hurriedly invited the guest in, seated him, and poured him tea.

"I knew that nothing could be hidden from your eyes." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile.

Madam Zuo covered her mouth and smiled, "Let's not do those empty things. I wonder which young master has good news today?"

"It's not good news, it's the eldest brother Yan'er. I just want to ask you to help go and find out what the girl's family is saying."

"Oh? Which girl makes sister so cautious?"

"The daughter of the current Grand Tutor Feng, Feng Yiyun."

As soon as Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, Mrs. Zuo's smile froze on her face.

Mrs. Zuo was a little surprised.

"Sister, is this true?"

It's no wonder she reacted this way. Her husband was an official in the court, and she knew something about the closeness and distance between the officials.

What's more, there is the obvious discord between Grand Tutor Feng and Duke Jiang.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang also sighed.

"I know your worries, but the matter of children is about fate. Yan'er's fate has come, and we as parents can't stop it, right?"

"Besides, my master and Master Feng only have slightly different personalities, and their political views are not different. My master can still distinguish between what is more important and what is less important."

After hearing what Mrs. Jiang said, Mrs. Zuo also had an idea in her mind.

"Okay, then I'll go to the Feng family to find out for you. Whether it succeeds or not, I'll give you a definite answer."

Madam Jiang showed a delighted look on her face and said solemnly, "Then I would like to thank Madam Zuo in advance. Regardless of success or failure, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will definitely reward you handsomely."

At this time, officials in the court were somewhat confused:

How come Duke Jiang, who usually always criticizes Tutor Feng, is praising him today?

Duke Jiang looked at the expressions of the crowd and felt disdainful.

What do you know? He sacrificed himself for his son's happiness. This is a noble act, don't you understand? !

But he found that it wasn't that difficult to be soft to his future in-laws...

-

With things on her mind, Mrs. Jiang has been unable to sleep or eat well these days.

Madam Xu couldn't help but persuade her, "Madam, please relax. Everything is destined by fate. I think you won't be disappointed."

Mrs. Jiang nodded.

Mrs. Zuo acted quickly and came again in just three days.

Only this time, his expression was a little solemn.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Zuo's expression and her heart skipped a beat.

He forced a smile and said, "Madam Zuo, what went wrong?"

"Not really," Madam Zuo paused for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping herself, "That day you entrusted this matter to me, I went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion the next day."

The next day, Madam Zuo happily came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion with Madam Jiang's instructions.

After explaining her purpose, Mrs. Feng was also genuinely surprised.

It's not that I have any prejudice against the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but the two families don't have any contact with each other on a daily basis. It's really unbelievable that they suddenly asked someone to come and discuss marriage.

Seeing that Mrs. Feng looked hesitant, Mrs. Zuo began to persuade her.

"This Duke Zhenguo has a frank and upright character. You have also met Madam Jiang. She is gentle, dignified and very kind."

"Duke Jiang has only one wife, Madam Jiang. There are no other concubines in the family, and there are no messy relationships."

"It is even more absurd to talk about the eldest young master's marriage. He was once the top scholar in the imperial examination and now holds an important position in the Imperial Academy. He is highly regarded by the emperor and has a bright future."

"What's even more rare is that the eldest young master of the Jiang family is already twenty years old and doesn't even have a maid, and he has even promised that he will never take a concubine in the future."

"Miss Feng only needs to serve her parents-in-law after she gets married, and live a loving life with the eldest young master of the Jiang family. There will be no troubles, isn't it wonderful?"

Mrs. Feng pondered for a moment. Looking at all the noble families in Kyoto, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was indeed the best choice in terms of character and family background.

Madam Feng nodded, "I know, but I still need to ask Yun'er and the master about this matter."

Mrs. Zuo understood that this matter could not be settled in an instant.

However, she thought that Mrs. Feng's meaning was almost correct.

She immediately smiled and said, "Of course. Please discuss it with the young lady and the master first, and I will come again tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Mrs. Feng saw Mrs. Zuo off and went to Feng Yiyun's room.

Feng Yijun was copying the calligraphy she had acquired a few days ago.

When he saw Mrs. Feng enter the room, he put down the brush in his hand.

"Mother."

Mrs. Feng nodded and sat in an armchair beside her, seeming to be lost in thought.

Feng Yijun saw her mother's expression and asked, "What's on your mind, mother?"

Mrs. Feng looked at Feng Yijun, somewhat hesitant.

"Yun'er, do you recognize the eldest young master of the Zhenguo Mansion?"

Feng Yijun thought for a moment, confirmed that he had never seen this person before, and shook his head.

"Mother, Yun'er doesn't know her."

"That's strange," Madam Feng said, "Today, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion sent someone to come to discuss marriage, and the other party specifically pointed out that the target is you."

"What?!" Feng Yijun was a little panicked, "Mother, did you agree?"

"Not yet." Madam Feng said, "Although I don't know why the Zhenguo Mansion suddenly wanted to discuss marriage with my Taifu Mansion, but considering all aspects, the Jiang family is indeed the most suitable choice."

"Mother..." Feng Yijun bit her lip, somewhat reluctantly, "You promised me that you would not arrange a marriage for me in the next six months."

"Of course mother remembers." Mrs. Feng hurried to comfort her.

"It's just that Yun'er, mother really doesn't understand why you have been unwilling to discuss marriage."

"Tell mother if you have any problem, and she will help you find a solution."

Hearing her mother's comfort, Feng Yijun's eyes became red.

She knew that what she had done brought disgrace to the family, and she also knew that dragging it on was not a solution.

But she is not afraid, she has the courage to bear some of the consequences of what she has done.

Taking a deep breath, Feng Yijun told Mrs. Feng everything about her correspondence with others over the past six months.

After hearing this, Mrs. Feng became angry.

"Yun'er, you are confused!"
