"Are you all deaf? Didn't the little girl say that if she fails to marry into the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, she will make her own decision. As long as Qin has no intention of harming her and Jiang Yin has no intention of marrying into the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, she will still let her parents make the decision. What's to be feared is that some people say one thing and do another behind their backs..." Old Lady Qi scolded all the clansmen, and then looked at Qin's mother and daughter and said.

She was a little dazed, as if she had returned to her childhood, refuting those people for the young and ignorant Jiang Baozhi, and trying her best to take control of her future.

She couldn't bear to see a little girl being eaten up right under her nose, just like she had been...

Jiang Yin was a little girl after all. When she heard what she said, her face turned pale and red, and she kept twisting the handkerchief in her hand.

Qin was someone who had seen a lot of storms and had a thicker skin than a city wall. Even after being ridiculed by Old Lady Qi, she remained motionless.

Seeing that Jiang Yin was getting a little emotional, she quietly patted Jiang Yin's hand, signaling her not to reveal the truth.

Jiang Yin had no choice but to take a deep breath and continue to endure.

Madam Jiang was so angry that her whole body was shaking, her lips were trembling, but she couldn't say a word...

She couldn't move in the first place, and had to rely on maids and old women to support her wherever she wanted to go. Now that she was being pulled by Jiang Miao, she couldn't move at all and could only stand there and get angry.

Liu, who was holding Madam Jiang's arm, almost laughed out loud. She had never seen Madam Jiang and Qin being humiliated in front of anyone.

After Jiang Luo came back, he made the aunt and nephew suffer for a while. But it was the first time she saw someone being so ruthless and confronted in front of so many people!

This aunt-in-law is really a powerful person. There will be some fun to watch in the Duke’s Mansion in the future.

Mrs. Qi was indeed someone no one dared to offend. She collected her thoughts, glanced at everyone, and finally set her sights on the people opposite her. She continued, "Besides, this is a good way to prove Qin's innocence without risking life and death. If the mother and daughter of the Qin family really don't have these bad intentions, then this promise is equivalent to nothing. Therefore, the request made by this girl Luo'er is not excessive at all in my opinion."

Liu's eyes turned, and she quickly took over the conversation and acted as a peacemaker: "What my aunt said makes sense. Our Duke's Mansion has always had strict rules. I am the first to believe my sister-in-law and Yin'er. They are not that kind of people, and they will never have such shameless thoughts. However, since Luo'er has such concerns, it doesn't hurt to agree, right?"

After hearing what she said, Madam Jiang shook off Liu's hand.

Liu was startled by her sudden action, but when she thought about why Madam Jiang was angry, she was no longer angry.

What's the use of shaking her? It's just to show off her power. If it wasn't for the wedding of the second wife today, she wouldn't bother to care about this old woman.

Qin was already upset after hearing Jiang Luo's words. Now that Old Lady Qi had explained it in detail and Liu had flattered her, she felt even more upset.

It seemed that if she did not agree to Jiang Luo's request, she would definitely decide to let Yin'er marry in her place.

If Jiang Luo had any accident in the future, wouldn't all the Jiang family members blame her?

No, she couldn't let Jiang Luo, that little bitch, and that damn old woman succeed in their evil scheme.

The more Qin thought about it, the angrier she became, but she was the Duke's wife and could not show her emotions to others.

She pulled out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes. "Aunt, I can't do that. The clansmen are right. Marriage is a matter of parents' and matchmakers' decisions. How can a girl like her make the decision on her own? If it gets out, people will definitely talk about me, the stepmother, being harsh on the original daughter. Although I have my own children, I treat Luo'er like my own child. I can't let people talk about her being a motherless girl."

If someone who doesn’t know this reads it, they will definitely sigh in their hearts: He truly loves his daughter with all his heart…

While dealing with everyone, Qin was thinking about what Jiang Luo said in her heart.

It's not that Jiang Luo, the little bitch, couldn't agree to the request. But she couldn't agree to it easily.

If she agreed, she would leak the news when Yin'er married into Ningyang Marquis's Mansion in the future. Then she could spread some romantic stories that people would like to hear, and people would no longer hold on to her and Yin'er.

As for whether Jiang Luo is dead or alive, what does it have to do with her?

When the clan members who were discussing the matter saw that Qin agreed with them, they immediately felt as if they had found a backer and echoed even louder, "What the Duke's wife said makes sense. Miss Jiang originally lost her biological mother. If no one takes care of her marriage, it might be disadvantageous to her."

"Yeah yeah……"

No one in the Yong Dynasty would marry the eldest daughter of a widowed mother, especially a noble lady like Jiang Luo who came from a high-class family and had a bad reputation.

If a woman is from a higher social class, there are more choices and people don't want to get close to her. If a woman is from a lower social class, people are afraid that if they marry her, they will have to support her and won't get any benefits.

"What you said is bullshit. What do you mean by the eldest daughter who lost her mother? She was just a baby at the time. What could she do? Did she want her mother to die? Don't just accuse someone of something just because of your bad intentions."

She had a reputation for being a hot-tempered woman among the ladies, and coupled with the fact that the Duke's Mansion owed her a debt in her marriage, the old Duke Zhenguo Jiang Hai almost spoiled her when he was alive.

When everyone saw her getting angry, they dared not say anything.

If you really provoke her, she can tear down the ancestral hall of the Duke's Mansion.

It’s not like it hasn’t happened before!

The second year after Qi Chang's death, Jiang Baozhi returned to the Duke's Mansion after the mourning period ended. The purpose of her return was to ask her brother Jiang Hai to make the decision and let her return home.

She married into the Qi family at the age of 16, and was only 18 when she wanted to return home. At that time, she had been married to Qi Chang for half a year and had been in mourning for Qi Chang's death for a year.

She thought that since they had not consummated their marriage and had only met once, she had done the most she could.

Unexpectedly, no one in the entire Duke's Mansion and the Jiang family agreed.

Because of what?

Because they wanted to show their loyalty and wanted to let the late emperor know that they were loyal.

They want glory and want the Jiang family to produce a chaste and virtuous woman so that the world will look up to the women of the Jiang family.

But all this is based on her pain.

No one would consider her thoughts, and no one cared how lonely and helpless she would be in the future.

In fact, many people wish she would die so that they could gain more benefits and fame.

Jiang Baozhi was so angry at that time. She looked at the group of greedy beasts in front of her and almost set the main hall of the Duke's Mansion on fire...
