Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Upon hearing this, Lin Yiwan pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "I've heard of Shen Yanci. He is indeed a good child, with impeccable talent and appearance, and his family background is a good match for our household. However, I wonder if his temperament is truly as gentle as rumored, and whether he can tolerate Miao'er's temperament."

The Grand Princess quickly replied, "Don't worry about that. I have a long-standing friendship with Madam Shen, and I have met that child a few times. He is humble and well-mannered. I have also heard that he has long admired Miao'er's talent."

Then she smiled and said, "And there's also Lu Jingheng, the young general of the Zhenbei General's Mansion. He's nineteen years old, a young general, brave and skilled in battle, with a handsome appearance. Although he's a bit stubborn, he's very responsible. The Zhenbei General and his wife only have this one son, so they'll definitely cherish their daughter-in-law. Besides, General Lu and your father are close friends. A marriage between the two families would strengthen their ties, and Lu Jingheng will definitely protect Miao'er in the future."

Zhan Yan also spoke up at this moment: "Lu Jingheng is a good boy. He is upright and decisive. He is a promising talent and will surely achieve great things in the future. However, he is stationed at the border for many years and we rarely see each other. I'm afraid it is unfair to Miao'er."

“Although the border is far away, the General of the North’s Mansion also has a residence in the capital. If Miao’er marries there, she can stay in the capital. Although Lu Jingheng is stationed at the border, he is a man of great affection and will certainly not mistreat Miao’er,” Princess Youyi said.

Lin Yiwan then thought of another person and said, "There is also Gu Yunzhou, the heir of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion. He is eighteen years old, handsome, calm and composed, and manages his household affairs in an orderly manner. The Jing'an Marquis's mansion is a prominent family, and the heir of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion is not yet engaged. He and Miao'er are a match made in heaven."

“Gu Yunzhou is good, but the inner quarters of the Jing’an Marquis’s mansion are a bit complicated. Miao’er is straightforward and I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle those trivial matters.” Princess Youyi frowned slightly, as if she felt it was inappropriate. “Our Miao’er is the eldest daughter of the Zhan family. She has grown up like a golden branch and jade leaf. How can she marry into that family and suffer those inner quarters’ torments? We must find a quiet inner quarters where her parents-in-law are reasonable.”

Before long, the Grand Princess made her decision, her eyes crinkling with laughter as she looked behind the screen and called out, "Miao'er, stop hiding, come out and listen. In my opinion, General Lu is the perfect candidate."

The screen exudes fragrance, and the embroidered lotus pattern sways slightly before a delicate figure emerges after a while.

Zhan Miao wore a moon-white silk dress, with only a plain silver begonia hairpin in her hair. Her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful but she was reluctant. Her hands were twisting her handkerchief quietly. When she curtsied, her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Aunt, Father, Mother, Daughter, Daughter does not want to go on a blind date."

She grew up in the Zhan family and learned riding and archery from her father and brothers. Although she was dignified, she hated all the formalities and formalities of romance, let alone being forced to meet a man she had never met before. She felt very uncomfortable.

The Grand Princess wouldn't allow her to refuse. She stepped forward, took her hand, and pulled her to her side. Her palm was warm, and her tone was half doting and half forceful.

She smiled and said, "That's not up to you. General Lu just returned to the capital from the border to report today, and he's hosting a banquet at Wanghu Tower in the west of the city at noon. I've already sent word that you should come with me to take a look. If you don't like it, your aunt will never mention it again, okay?"

Zhan Miao wanted to argue, but when she looked up, she met her father Zhan Yan's deep gaze. Although he didn't speak, the expectation in his eyes made her swallow back the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue.

Her mother, Lin Yiwan, chimed in, smoothing a stray hair from her temple: "Miao'er, General Lu is truly a good man. It wouldn't hurt to go and see him. Consider it a trip to Wanghu Tower to enjoy some fresh lake delicacies, shall we?"

With her aunt on one side pleading and her parents on the other, Zhan Miao, despite her reluctance, couldn't withstand the three's relentless attacks and finally had to nod resignedly with a droopy face.

This nod finally put everyone at ease, and the Grand Princess immediately ordered people to help Zhan Miao change her clothes and do her makeup. Her originally plain attire was adorned with pearls and jade by the maids, her hair was styled in a flowing cloud bun, and she was given a light pink silk dress, which made her features even more beautiful.

But her lips were always drooping, making her look like a little girl whose candy had been stolen. Lin Yiwan couldn't help but laugh, but she was afraid of upsetting her daughter, so she turned her back and chuckled to herself.

At the end of Chen Shi (7-9 AM), the carriage left the Zhan Yi Marquis's residence and headed towards Wanghu Tower in the west of the city. Zhan Miao sat in the carriage, lifting the curtain to look at the street scene outside, but his mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.

Since Lu Jingheng is a young general, he must be a big, burly man with a weathered face and a rough voice. If she really married such a person, how would she live her life? The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt, and even the candied hawthorn stall outside the window couldn't arouse her interest.

Seeing her like this, the Grand Princess couldn't help but tease her: "Look at you, so full of bitterness and resentment. Could it be that General Lu is a man-eating tiger? Let me tell you, General Lu is extremely handsome, even more dashing than those pampered young masters from noble families in the capital. You might just fall for him when you see him."

Zhan Miao pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "So what if he's handsome? He's stubborn and might be a blockhead who can't even say a kind word."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the carriage stopped below the Wanghu Tower. The waiter was already waiting at the door, and upon seeing the Grand Princess's carriage, he quickly bowed and led the way.

Zhan Miao was led upstairs by her aunt, her steps hesitant and shuffling, as if she wanted to stick the soles of her shoes to the steps. However, the Grand Princess's grip was quite strong, and she could not afford to dawdle.

The private room at Wanghu Tower overlooks the lake; opening the window reveals the rippling blue waters and swaying willow branches. Zhan Miao followed his aunt into the private room and immediately spotted the young man standing by the window.

He was dressed in a black outfit, without armor, yet his imposing and heroic air was undeniable. His figure was as upright as a pine tree, his black hair was tied up high with only a jade hairpin, and his profile was sharp and distinct, with slightly raised eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and tightly pursed lips.

Sunlight fell on his face, outlining soft shadows, and just as the Grand Princess had said, he was so handsome that one couldn't take their eyes off him.

However, his aura was too fierce, carrying the grimness of a frontier battlefield, which was out of place with the Jiangnan charm of Wanghu Tower, causing Zhan Miao to stop in his tracks as soon as he stepped through the door.

Lu Jingheng turned around upon hearing the sound and saw the Grand Princess entering with a beautiful young woman. His eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting, his voice low and clear, yet carrying a hint of military decisiveness: "Greetings, Grand Princess."

His gaze fell on Zhan Miao, paused slightly, and then cupped his hands and said, "This must be Miss Zhan. I am Lu Jingheng."

Zhan Miao felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly curtsied in return, her fingers still clutching her handkerchief. She didn't even dare to raise her head, and only whispered, "Greetings, General Lu."

Seeing this, the Grand Princess quickly smiled and smoothed things over, pulling the two of them to sit down. She then ordered the waiter to serve the dishes, jokingly saying as she did so, "You two don't need to be so reserved. You're both young people, have a good chat!"

She continued, "Jingheng, you've just returned to the capital. You must have had a long journey. Miao'er grew up in the capital and knows all the latest happenings here."
