Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow
Chapter 157: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 37
Father Jiang and Yunxi's eyes stayed on the woman for a while, and they were both guessing her identity.
The Marquis of Loyalty is about forty years old, with rough features. Perhaps it is because he fought on the battlefield when he was young, but he is intimidating without even being angry, and looks full of energy and spirit.
He saw through their confusion and explained, "Brother Jiang, we came here today to discuss our children's marriage. My wife is ill and can't get out of bed, so we can only ask Concubine Hua, who is in charge of all the affairs of the mansion, to come. After all, it's the younger generation's affairs that need someone to take care of them."
Father Jiang smiled politely: "Brother Lu, you are too polite. Since Madam Lu is not feeling well, there is no need to force her to stay in bed. Has the court doctor examined her?"
Marquis Zhongyi: "Of course, my wife has always been weak, it's an old illness, it's nothing, don't worry."
Father Jiang smiled but said nothing, and did not mention Aunt Hua at all. Yunxi naturally smiled as well.
Seeing that the two men were not prepared to speak, Marquis Zhongyi got straight to the point.
"Brother Jiang, I also heard Zhao'er's explanation of what happened yesterday. Although Zhao'er accidentally saved the Third Miss, since the two of them have come into contact, they must not let the Third Miss down. But Zhao'er and the Second Miss are engaged first, and the Marquis' Mansion is definitely not the kind of person who does not keep their word. How about letting the two children marry into the Marquis' Mansion together and become Zhao'er's co-wives? I think the two ladies are close, so they can avoid the pain of separation."
The smile that Father Jiang had on at the beginning disappeared, and he looked at Marquis Zhongyi with a cold look in his eyes.
What a good plan!
This is simply putting the entire Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion together.
"Brother Lu, no matter what, this is a marriage between children. Why not ask for their opinions? What does Master Lu think?" Father Jiang turned the topic to Lu Zhao.
Lu Zhao looked respectful and lowered his brows: "Lu Zhao must have the same idea as father."
"Okay, I thought this was only the Marquis's idea, but I didn't expect that both of you thought so. The legitimate daughter of my Prime Minister's Mansion is not entirely prepared for your Marquis' Mansion. When the two families made the marriage contract, they had already discussed the candidate. Now that the Marquis' Mansion is doing this, do you think that my Prime Minister's Mansion is easy to bully?" Father Jiang said angrily.
"Uncle Jiang, it was Lu Zhao who was presumptuous, but it was out of eagerness to save people that I unintentionally offended the Third Miss." Lu Zhao immediately bowed and apologized.
"Oh? As a prince, you never thought about the woman's reputation before saving her. Why did you act so rashly?" Father Jiang exposed it bluntly, implying that Lu Zhao was stupid.
"Master, the prince saved Hui'er after all..." Yunxi saw that the two were about to freeze, and spoke quickly.
"No matter what, my family will never marry both girls to you!" Father Jiang said firmly.
Lu Zhao glanced back at Marquis Zhongyi. They had already made plans for the two girls from the Prime Minister's Mansion to enter the Marquis' Mansion together. They never expected that Prime Minister Jiang would directly refuse.
If this is the case, then you can only choose one from the two.
Both of them thought in silence. After all, if they made the wrong choice, this move would be wasted and they would not get any help from the Prime Minister's Office.
Lu Zhao recalled what happened at the Yun Mansion that day. Both Jiang's father and Jiang Yixiu obviously loved the second young lady of the mansion more, so choosing her was undoubtedly the best choice.
His brows slowly furrowed, and he thought of the Third Miss who had tenderly and pitifully embraced him that day. He felt inexplicably sad for her. Although they were both legitimate daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion, her father and brother loved the other one more. Although she was both extremely beautiful, she was still abandoned for no reason.
He was conflicted and hesitant. His father's teachings flashed through his mind, followed by the young lady's dependent and pleading eyes. His mind was in a mess.
The Marquis also thought of these things in his mind. He did not hesitate and was about to signal his son to speak out, but he saw the struggle and hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, he made a prompt decision and prepared to speak it out for him.
The next second, Yunxi spoke first.
"Master, since this is the most important event for Shushu and Huier, why not let them speak for themselves?"
She had just been watching the people in the Marquis' Mansion and saw the struggle on Lu Zhao's face. Seeing that the Marquis of Loyalty was about to speak, she had a bad feeling and immediately changed the subject.
Father Jiang hesitated for a while, but was afraid that the two would insist on their own way, so he was about to refuse.
Yun Xi didn't wait for Jiang's father to speak, he immediately went out the door and asked someone to call the second and third young ladies.
Seeing this, Jiang's father had to give up the idea of stopping it. After all, he couldn't say it in front of the Marquis's Mansion.
Thinking about Jiang Yueshu, who was the most troublesome, and Jiang Xinghui, who was always obedient, Father Jiang waited for the two to come over with some worry in his heart.
The unexpected events here interrupted Marquis Zhongyi's words and Lu Zhao's thoughts, but they felt that this was a good opportunity, so they waited for the two young ladies to arrive without saying a word.
After a while, Jiang Yueshu and Jiang Xinghui came in one after another.
Without waiting for Jiang's father to speak, Yunxi took the initiative to ask for their opinions on the marriage with the Marquis's Mansion.
After hearing this, the two did not speak immediately, but began to think.
Jiang Xinghui bit her lip. She glanced at Lu Zhao, and their eyes met. She immediately looked away shyly.
When Marquis Zhongyi saw this, he was delighted and inexplicably felt more secure.
Jiang Yueshu kept her brows lowered and remained silent without moving.
