Noble Lady

"The old lady has misunderstood. My mother is in charge of finding suitable families for the elderly soldiers under my father's command. I'm talking about the young and strong soldiers."

What Xue Chenyu thought in her heart was one thing, but she would never give anyone the opportunity to criticize her father's misconduct.

After she said this, Liu showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Yu'er is thoughtful, but I'm already looking for someone for Ruyi. You might as well ask the second wife. The third girl is also of marriageable age. Who knows, the second sister-in-law might be happy to see it happen."

This statement is self-evident in its disparagement of the Second House.

If the old Zhang heard this, she would probably have a fight with her.

The girls from her first wife can't marry a warrior, but the girls from her second wife are willing to do so?

What does Liu think of their second branch?

However, Xue Chenyu already knew that she would not agree, and the purpose of her coming today was not to get her to agree.

"In that case, I'll go ask the second old lady."

Xue Chenyu kept a smile on her face, exchanged a few words and then left.

Mrs. Liu acted like a mother-in-law and pretended to ask Mrs. Huang to see the guest off.

but.

Xue Chenyu had already walked out the door when she suddenly remembered something and turned back. "What about the fourth girl? Is the old lady also looking for someone for her?"

"That girl..."

Liu touched the ring around her waist, with a look of disdain in her eyes.

"If Yu'er doesn't mind the trouble, please find her a husband. Her mother died young and didn't leave her any dowry. As her stepmother, it's my duty to help her get married."

"My daughter-in-law understands."

Xue Chenyu achieved her goal and left calmly.

Wait until she is far away.

"How dare she let the daughter of the Qingliu He family marry some soldier ruffian?!"

Liu put the teacup back on the tea table, and her kind face disappeared.

Mother Huang returned with a complicated expression, saying, "When I sent the Madam out, she was still talking about a good-looking young officer with excellent martial arts skills who was highly regarded by Marquis Wu'an and would surely have a smooth path to promotion."

I bother!

Who wants a warrior as a son-in-law?

Liu's face turned green. "How's your inquiry going on with Mr. Zhao, the candidate I asked you to inquire about last time?"

"I've inquired about everything." Mother Huang smiled as if she had picked up silver.

"Mr. Zhao is a young man, his ancestors for three generations have all been scholars, and his family background is clean; however, his father died young, leaving him with only a widowed mother and a young sister to depend on."

"I had to drop out of state school two years ago, but through my own hard work, I passed the autumn examination last year. Unfortunately, I didn't make the grade in this year's spring examination."

Liu's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"He lost his father at a young age, yet he managed to understand the situation at such a young age through his own efforts. He is a promising talent."

She also asked some questions about Mr. Zhao, such as his character and the kind of people he associated with.

Mother Huang also said that although Mr. Zhao dropped out of the provincial school, he still interacted with students from the provincial and county schools. He was quite talented and famous, so those people were willing to make friends with him.

Liu was even more satisfied at that moment.

She asked Mother Huang to go around and ask around the Huang family.

Especially his neighbors and some relatives he didn't have much contact with, she had to be extra careful when asking around and not let anyone know that she wanted to get married.

Mother Huang agreed to all of them.

Mrs. Liu asked Mother Huang to ask Mr. Zhao's neighbors about his character just to be on the safe side, but she had already decided in her heart that Mr. Zhao was the son-in-law she would be most satisfied with.

If this son-in-law can work harder, he can be a help to Dalang.

Then why should they, the He family, worry about its prosperity?

……

Xue Chenyu came out of Ciwenyuan and went to the second room again.

Compared to the first house which was completely renovated, the second house only had some leftover materials from the renovation and had to repair some of the old ones.

The furniture was not re-made, so it looks much older than the main room.

Zhang didn't expect Xue Chenyu to come here suddenly.

He went out to greet them with his daughter-in-law and daughter in panic, and then busied himself serving tea and water.

"There's no need to be like this, Madam. I came here to say something and will leave after I'm done." Xue Chenyu hurriedly restrained her.

The third girl, He Shuang, showed an expression of "it should be like this" and sat aside speechlessly.

I don't know what's so great about Xue Chenyu? Her mother is now the housekeeper, and she still praises her so much.

I didn't give back all the benefits I got from her in the past. I really don't know what my mother is thinking.

Can someone with the surname Xue reach the sky?

"No rudeness."

Zhang patted He Shuang's arm, turned to look at Xue Chenyu with a smile on her face again.

"Madam, if you have any instructions, just ask the servants to pass on the message. Why would you need to go there in person?"

"It's the matter that the Second Old Lady asked me to do before. I'm starting to see some progress."

Zhang's eyes lit up, "So fast?"

She thought Xue Chenyu's promise to her was just a perfunctory gesture.

Xue Chenyu nodded and repeated what she had said to Liu before.

He Shuang slammed the table and stood up.

"Mother, I won't marry a warrior!"

"How dare you! This matter has no say over you!" Zhang also slammed the table and stood up.

Although she had previously strongly demanded the return of the things taken from Furongju, this was the first time she spoke so harshly.

He Shuang shuddered, and even her two daughters-in-law were startled.

"Mother……"

"Don't worry, Madam. This kind of thing still depends on the Third Miss's willingness."

Zhang said, "Marriage has always been a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words. How could she decide on her own?"

So Zhang was like this in the previous life, and that's why He Shuang wanted to escape the marriage at all costs?

Xue Chenyu didn’t know what happened between her and her mother in the previous life, but she didn’t want He Shuang’s behavior of eloping on the wedding day and trampling on everyone’s face to happen again.

"Second Madam, although that is true, it is the Third Miss who is looking for someone to spend her life with. As an elder, I cannot replace her."

"As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. You just blindly want the third girl to obey you without considering her feelings. What if something unexpected happens?"

The implication is that parents can give their daughter some advice, but they cannot force her to marry someone she doesn't want to marry.

Otherwise, young people have a strong rebellious mentality and the more they are asked to do something, the more they are unwilling to do it. If they end up eloping from the wedding, it will not be a matter of just scolding them.

Xue Chenyu's words were like a bucket of cold water, a revelation.

Wasn't that lesson enough? She only wanted Shuang'er to get married as soon as possible, but she forgot that if she ran away from the marriage like she did last time, then...

Zhang was stunned for a moment, "I...I understand."
