Su Jingfu said, "I have a few fine jade pendants; I'll send them to my sister-in-law."

“Okay, take it with you tomorrow,” Su Dafu said. “Remember to negotiate the price beforehand, so that no one takes advantage of the situation.”

"Don't worry, Dad, I know," Su Jingchang said with a grin. "Big brother, isn't your eldest cousin getting married?"

Su Jingfu shook his head and said, "Mu Ya just came in, it's inconvenient for her to invite me, lest people gossip."

Su Jingchang said with a smile, "My eldest cousin is also my future sister-in-law!"

Su Jingfu said with a smile, "Muya is not close to our family, so it's best not to call her too familiarly in the future."

They were used to keeping a low profile and didn't want to get involved with the Su family because of Su Muya.

Su Jingchang pursed his lips and muttered, "You're afraid of what others will say, but aren't you afraid of what my mother will say?"

"You little brat, you're asking for a beating!" Su Jingfu reached out and tapped him on the head: "Mu Ya just married into our family, so let's not get too close to her, lest we get into trouble."

Su Jingchang nodded in agreement. His elder brother made a good point. Their family was now related to the Su family, but the Su family didn't treat them well. It was better for him to keep his distance.

To avoid being implicated.

"Go find Muya and tell her that I will bring a gift to congratulate you on your wedding day."

"Oh."

When Madam Su saw that Su Jingfu had sent his son to propose marriage to Su Muya, she was overjoyed: "Jingfu, is this true?"

Su Jingfu nodded and said, "Of course it's true, Aunt. My mother heard that my eldest niece is getting married, so she asked me to bring gifts. My mother said that this is a destiny between our two families. This time, my sister-in-law is marrying my third brother, and from now on we will be one family."

Madam Su was very excited: "This is truly wonderful news!" Mu Ya has finally made it through, and the Su family will never dare to bully her again.

Su Jingfu took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Madam Su, saying, "This is a letter my mother wrote to my eldest niece. Please pass it on for me!"

Madam Su's hands trembled as she took the letter. Upon opening it, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably: "Mu Ya, I'm so sorry!"

Just then, Madam Su walked in from outside and, seeing her like this, asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?" She had been busy with household affairs lately and hadn't had time to pay attention to her.

Madam Su sobbed, "Muya's mother, Muya was harmed by us. She lost the baby in her womb."

After a moment of stunned silence, Madam Su said, "Wasn't Mu Ya perfectly fine? Her health had always been good, so why did she suddenly pass away?"

Madam Su wiped away her tears and said, "She went into labor last night and didn't fall asleep until four or five in the morning. When she woke up this morning, we found that her water had broken. After the doctor diagnosed it as a miscarriage, she fainted on the spot."

Madam Su, feeling a wave of fear, said, "How could you let her act so recklessly? What if something happens..."

Madam Su choked up as she said, "Back then, we were afraid you would change your minds and that Muya wouldn't marry if you didn't agree to the marriage."

They thought Su Qinghan would keep her promise, but she suddenly died. Mu Ya has lost her mother; what will she do now?

Su Jingfu comforted her, "It's alright. With your father-in-law's help, Muya will definitely live a very happy life in the future."

Madam Su wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "You're right. She has her biological parents, so she definitely won't suffer any injustice in the future. Jingfu, tell your parents that your father and I will definitely treat Muya well."

Su Jingfu didn't linger and went back. His parents were kind people and would definitely treat Mu Ya as well as their own daughter.

The next day, Su Jingfu handed over the gift list from the Su family and explained their attitude.

After looking at all these things, Su Chengde said, "So many things, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Du, Su Dalang's wife, said, "My mother has already instructed the cook to prepare the meal and send it to Muya when she wakes up."

Although Mu Ya's family was poor, the Su family always doted on her. Her husband was a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, and their family was well-off and had no shortage of food, clothing, or other necessities. Her mother-in-law also doted on her and Mu Ya, and she never lacked anything for Mu Ya.

Su Chengde nodded and said, "In that case, we will prepare the betrothal gifts accordingly."

"it is good."

Su Chengzhi asked hesitantly, "Father, should we discuss this with the Su family? After all, this marriage is a major event that should be decided by both sets of parents."

Su Chengde waved his hand and said, "No need, I believe my mother will understand."

What if Mu Ya is unwilling?

"No, Muya is a filial and good girl. Whether she likes it or not, she will accept her fate and marry Kanghua."

Although he had never met Kang Hua, he felt that Mu Ya would agree to marry his third brother's wife. Apart from her family background, she was a good match for him in every other way. Mu Ya was of good character, and Kang Hua was a responsible person; only after they were married would he protect Mu Ya.

"That's true."

Su Chengze chimed in with a joke: "Father and Mother, since we're preparing betrothal gifts, I'd like to go to the capital with you. I can help run errands and buy wine."

Su Chengzong glared at him and cursed, "You bastard, who taught you to say such things?"

Su Jingfu said, "Third Uncle, all of us brothers are going to the capital, so I'm leaving this family in your care. I'll set off tomorrow and should arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow."

The brothers had always lived in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, which was against the wishes of Madam Su and Su Jingfu. However, they couldn't resist the persuasion of Su Jingren and Su Jingzhi.

In the end, they agreed, and a group of children moved to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

After Su Jingfu left, Su Jingzong patted his chest and said with relief, "Luckily you stopped him. If it were me, I would definitely have stopped him from going to the capital. He is at the prime of his life for studying. If his studies are delayed, it will be a disaster."

Su Jingzong is twenty-seven years old this year, two years older than Su Jingshou. However, as the eldest son and the youngest son, he is pampered and spoiled by the Su family. Therefore, Su Jingzong idles away his days, doing nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun.

Madam Su shook her head and said, "Jingfu is intelligent; he knows what he is doing."

This wasn't the first time Madam Su had heard people praise Su Jingfu like this, but she was still uneasy.

Su Jingren sighed and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, let's hurry up and prepare for Muya's wedding. Let's not let her suffer any more."

Madam Su nodded and said, "I have already found several matchmakers for Muya. Go and exchange the betrothal gifts tomorrow."

“Alright. I’ll have someone pack my bags right away. Tomorrow I’ll take Jingfu and his two brothers to the capital,” Su Jingren said happily.

"I want to go too! Parents, you have to take me!" Su Jingyu shouted.

Madam Su said, "We'll feel at ease if you go with Jingfu and the others."

Madam Su was furious when she saw the two rascals, Su Jingxuan and Su Jingchang, looking so happy.
