After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

"Mother, let's move on to the next one." Shang Tingli said.

Wen Hui nodded, put up a new portrait, and replaced the booklet. "Then let's look at this one. He is the eldest son of Master He's family. He is only sixteen years old and has already won the third place in the imperial examination at such a young age..."

【This is good, this is good! 】

Wenhui paused, hesitated for a moment and then continued.

Shang Tingli didn't listen carefully.

[The eldest lady of the He family is the future Crown Princess and the future Queen! Young Master He will be the youngest uncle in the history of Tianzhao. He is talented and elegant, and has a promising future! ]

She finished her inner mumbling, and Wenhui also finished reading Master He's speech.

Ke Xin said it expertly: "This kid from the He family is good. I haven't found any bad habits for the time being."

Monk Wenhui and Monk Tingli looked at each other in tacit understanding and said, "Then...stay."

Ke Xin sat aside, sipping tea with an expressionless face.

After a while of looking around, they finally kept the portraits of two young masters, the eldest son of Master He's mansion, and the third son of the Yong'an Marquis' mansion.

Quarter of an hour later, Wenhui sent someone to call Ke Yishang.

Wen Hui said directly: "Mother, after much thought, Ling Yun has reached the age of marriage. No matter how much we are reluctant, we cannot let our daughter become an enemy."

Facing Shang Tingli's direct gaze, Ke Yishang blushed and said to her mother, "Lingyun has just reached the age of marriage, no, no rush..."

【I’m in a hurry! 】

With a sudden sound, the gazes of the mother and her two children were all drawn to her.

[Why are you all looking at me suddenly? ]

The three of them looked away as if nothing had happened.

Wen Hui said to Ke Yishang, "The good unengaged men in the capital are in great demand. Mother can't ask us Ling Yun to pick up the rest, so we have to act first."

Shang Tingli chimed in, "It's just that we've arranged the marriage first. I don't want you to get married right away. It's better to meet each other sooner."

[Others don’t care about it sooner or later, but you can’t! If it’s too late, you will end up dying miserably! ]

Ke Yishang just pretended to be shy, covering her face tightly with a handkerchief and lowering her head. Only she knew that she was afraid that her pale face would reveal her secret.

Wen Hui smiled and said, "This is the young man that your brother and sister-in-law and I picked out for you. Ling Yun, take a look at him yourself. Do you like any of him?"

Ke Yichang took a while to calm down, then raised her head and said, "My mother, my elder brother, and my sister-in-law must be right. I..."

Shang Tingli placed the small portraits of Young Master He and the Third Young Master of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion side by side on the table, "Lingyun, come and take a look?"

Ke Yichang walked over and took a rough look at the portraits of the two people. She didn't say who she liked, but said with a red face, "It's up to mother to decide."

She knew that her mother must be able to hear her sister-in-law's thoughts, otherwise her mother would not be so anxious to see her.

If what my sister-in-law said is true, for my own sake, I should really meet someone and settle down earlier.

Shang Tingli noticed that Ke Yishang's gaze stayed on one of the young masters' portraits longer than on the other, so he winked at Wenhui.

Wen Hui understood what she meant, so she picked up the booklet of the third young master of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion and handed it to Ke Yishang, "Mother thinks that this young master of the Sima family is more suitable for our Lingyun. What do you think, Lingyun?"

I secretly observed my daughter's complexion and saw that the blush was visibly fading.

Wenhui felt strange. Did she not like the young master of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion?

Then... Wenhui turned to look at Shang Tingli, only to see her daughter-in-law winking at her. Suddenly, she had an epiphany and understood what her daughter-in-law meant.

The blush on Ke Yishang's face had returned to normal, and she asked calmly, "Does mother really think so?"

Wen Hui smiled secretly, but didn't show it on her face: "Of course, compared with the kid from the Tonghe family, the kid from the Sima family is a few years older than you. He won't argue with you about everything, and he will be more caring anyway."

Ke Yichang's eyes dimmed slightly, and she disagreed: "Mother, what you said is a bit biased..."

Wen Hui said indifferently: "Mother is more optimistic about the boy from the Sima family, so of course she is more inclined to him."

He looks a little bit naughty for some reason.

Ke Yichang couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are like this..."

Wen Hui opened her eyes and stared at her, with a smile on her lips: "What's wrong with mother?"

Ke Yishang bit her lip.

"Ling Yun doesn't want to see me?"

"no……"

Shang Tingli couldn't stand it anymore and said in a joking tone: "Ling Yun is not unwilling to look at each other, but he doesn't want to look at the Third Young Master Sima, right?"

【Oh, it turns out that there is someone I love. 】

Wenhui covered her lips and smiled.

Ke Yichang's face flushed: "Ling Yun... Ling Yun herself prefers the He family's young master."

After she finished speaking in one breath, her face became even redder, like a ripe red apple, with a hint of pink.

The meeting went particularly smoothly, and Wenhui felt relieved.

"It's getting late today. My mother will arrange a meeting with the mistress of the He family tomorrow to discuss the matter between you and the young master of the He family."

Ke Yishang's face flushed: "As you wish."

Wenhui invited the three of them to have dinner in Ronghua Hall. After the meal, Shang Tingli and Ke Xin returned to Xinyuan.

As soon as Shang Tingli came back, he sat on the swing in the yard in a daze.

There was a pomegranate tree planted against the wall in the yard, a chaise longue under the tree, and a swing next to the couch. In the middle of the yard was a round stone table with four low stone pillars.

The new branches are light green, and the late calyx is light red. There is no gorgeous May pomegranate flower, but there are lanterns hanging on the branches in June.

Shang Tingli looked up, pointed at the small pomegranate on his head, and murmured, "Pomegranates are still more beautiful. At least they are edible."

Retracting his gaze, Shang Tingli fell into deep thought. There are quite a lot of changes in some branches and leaves, is it really just the butterfly effect?

With Yu Lanxi's help, Ji Zhang joined the Fourth Prince early. In the previous life, I had never heard of the princess looking for someone for Princess Lingyun, but in this life, not only did it happen, she also helped to look for someone...

As for the Lingyun matter, she hadn't even started to exert her strength yet, but it suddenly happened inexplicably?

On the other side, in the study.

Large swathes of orange sunset shine through the carved window lattices, casting mottled shadows onto the landscape painting hanging on the east side, as if leaving a touch of glow on the painting as well, dotting the water with ripples, as if you were personally present in the scene.

The young man sat at the desk, wearing a brocade robe with a round collar, right lapel and narrow sleeves, which made him look very proud. At this moment, his beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly dim and as calm as autumn water.

Two secret guards wearing green cross-collared shadow robes knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes.

"My subordinate failed in his duty. Please punish me, Master."

Ke Xin turned around and said calmly, "Each person will receive twenty lashes as punishment. If it happens again, you don't need to come to see me."

"Yes!"

The two secret guards retreated quickly and efficiently.

Only after we walked a little further did I dare to breathe loudly.

But he still dared to speak in a low voice: "Speaking of which... where did we fail in our duty?"

The person next to him whispered back, "It was probably when we were at the Yi Zhong Marquis's residence that we failed to guard the gate of the Crown Prince's Consort's courtyard."
