"What did you say?" Marquis Yongsheng's Mansion is here to propose to me today? " Jiang Wan stared blankly at the excited Clove, her legs gave way and she fell onto the Luo Han bed. Her whole body was so cold that she felt like she had fallen into an icehouse.

"Yes, yes! "Fourth Miss." Clove had obviously not recovered from her great excitement before. "That's the marquis' house that's been abandoned for generations!"

Jiang Wan shook her head with a bitter smile. Previously, she had felt that the Cao family's intention to obtain Jiang Shu was already lowering their status, but now, they were actually seeking a concubine like her.

It could be seen that the Cao family had no more requirements for their daughter-in-law.

Jiang Wan sat paralyzed on Luo Han's bed, there were two paths laid in front of her, one was to enter the crown prince's mansion, to become Jiang Yu's pawn, and the other was to marry into the Marquis' Mansion and become his wife?

No matter what path it was, it was not something she wanted to choose. However, reality was not something she could choose from.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan couldn't help but grab the clothes she wore and put them on her chest. The Nine-Striped Dragon White Jade Pendant.

Xiao Rui said that if there was an emergency, he would take this jade pendant to the Ji Clan's village in the north of the city to find the Old Master Ji.

However, was the situation now considered urgent?

"What did Madame say about this?" Jiang Wan turned her head to look out the window at the beautiful spring sunshine. Light on the tender green branches, everything so alive, and her heart hesitant.

"Madam …" "Madam doesn't seem to be too happy about it …" Clove thought of the caution of all the people in Junya Hall today.

That's right, Jiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. To the Qin family, the Cao family was like a steamed bun, how could she give up so easily?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan loosened her grip on the jade pendant.

At this time, in the Jun Yating Hall, Mother Du was still trying to persuade Madam Qin, "Madam, since you are unwilling, why don't you just reject the Cao family's marriage?"

"..." "It's a bad thing that I went to beg Madame Cao before this to find a job as the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice for my master …" The Qin family was half supporting their heads as they frowned, "If I turn down the Cao family now, wouldn't that be offending the Eternal Sheng Marquis Estate?"

"But …" "Madam …" Mother Du suddenly looked at née Qin with a grave expression. "Don't you feel that this matter is fishy?"

Mrs Qin looked at Mother Du in astonishment. She narrowed her eyes and said, "What?"

Mother Du looked around and whispered, "You were busy approaching the Cao family because of Fifth Miss. Previously, Madam Cao was quite satisfied with our Fifth Miss, but why did she suddenly take a fancy to Fourth Miss?"

"Wasn't this smashed by her bowl of tea!" When the Qin family thought of this, their teeth started to itch with hatred. For this matter, Jiang Chuanzhong had not stayed in their room for half a month.

"Yeah!" Mother Du rolled her eyes and continued, "Madam, we all know that although Fifth Young Miss can be a little petty at times, she has never been one to prioritize. Why is it that on the day of the Spring Festival, she …"

Why had she never thought of this!

Mother Du's words seemed to enlighten her. Madame Qin slammed the table and stood up, looking coldly at Mother Du as she asked, "Are you saying that Sis Shu'er was instigated that day?"

"Definitely!" Mother Du did not forget to add fuel to the fire, "You have to know, if Fifth Miss is at a disadvantage, who would benefit the most?"

"Little Wan!" A trace of ruthlessness flashed across née Qin's eyes. At this moment, her clenched fist was so tight that her fingernails dug into her flesh. "I didn't expect that I would actually raise an ingrate!"

However, the news that the Cao family of the Yongsheng family was going to help Cao Jin marry the Jiang family's daughter once again caused a huge uproar in the capital. Some people were guessing why the Cao family was interested in the 'famous' daughter of the Jiang family, while others were wondering what methods the Jiang family had used to marry a noble family like the Cao family.

As soon as he entered the door, he threw the horsewhip in his hand to the manservant behind him. He quickly passed through the door, passed through the hall, and went straight to the small courtyard where Madam Cao usually rested.

He saw a face covered in wind. His younger son, Madam Cao, hurriedly came forward to welcome him and rebuked, "How come you didn't know to change before coming over?"

Cao Jin, however, didn't have that many thoughts. With a gloomy face, he dismissed the servant in Lady Cao's room and asked, "Did mother tell your son about a marriage?"

"Yeah!" Seeing that her son, who did not care about these trivial matters, had suddenly taken the initiative, Madam Cao also excitedly said, "I've reserved the Jiang Clan's daughter for you."

"The daughter of the Jiang Clan?" Cao Jin frowned. "Is that the evil woman who made tea in the capital city?"

"How could I possibly bring that girl back and block my path?" "It's her sister. It's a pity that she was born from a concubine. However, I've seen that girl before. She's well-educated and gentle."

"What's his name?" Cao Jin asked nervously.

"Jiang Wan!" She had never seen her son act this way.

"What?" Jiang Wan? " Cao Jin, on the other hand, jumped up violently.

Surprised by her son's agitation, Madam Cao asked in puzzlement, "You know her?"

"No!" It definitely couldn't be her! I don't agree with that! " The moment Cao Jin heard Jiang Wan's name, he started to feel uneasy. He paced back and forth in the courtyard, and then turned his head and asked Madame Cao, "Has this matter been decided?" Do you still have any chance to turn back? "

"No!" Madame Cao said with determination, "Jiang Wan is the daughter-in-law that I have decided upon."

"Mother!" You must be silly! " Seeing that he couldn't persuade Madame Cao, Cao Jin's face became anxious, "Who do you think that Jiang Wan is? She is someone who has entered the seventh prince's eyes! "

"You … What did you say? " Madam Cao could not believe her ears. How could a woman who spent her days in the inner chamber enter the prince's eyes?

Seeing the disbelief on his mother's face, Cao Jin could only tell her about what he saw in the temple.

"Jiang Wan … You're actually meeting with Seventh Prince in private at the National Guardian Temple? " Madam Cao covered her surprised mouth. "She looks like such a clever and obedient person …"

"Why did you say that the Vice Minister of the Board of Justice let it out?" It's not because the Seventh Prince wants a seat to be vacated by others. " Cao Jin said seriously, "How do you think Mister Jiang got that seat? If you do not have the approval of the Seventh Prince, even if you lend him a hundred times the courage, as the Martial Uncle of the Department, he would not dare to easily switch people! "

It was only then that Madam Cao remembered her younger brother, who had always been cautious. She had indeed done things too smoothly when she was begging for an official for Jiang Chuanzhong.

"Since that's the case, why did the Qin family still request to come to me?" Madame Cao asked, puzzled, when she thought of the humble appearance that née Qin had when she came to beg for her.

With a helpless expression, Cao Jin could only stick close to Madam Cao's ear and tell her everything he had learned about the Seventh Prince.

When Madam Cao heard this, her eyes were as wide as copper bells. She muttered to herself, "If that's really the case, then this marriage really can't be concluded!"
