My wife wants a divorce; if she ruins my life, I'll leave.

Before Princess Yangcheng even reached the mountain gate, the gate was already wide open, waiting for the distinguished guest.

Mencius' mother and her entourage waited quietly to the side, for even though it was a princess's invitation, they could not overstep their bounds in the slightest.

Upon reaching the mountain gate, guards had already used curtains to separate the crowd, leaving only Mencius' mother and others behind.

Princess Yangcheng alighted from the sedan chair and turned her head to see Meng's mother. She quickly smiled and beckoned her over.

"Madam Meng arrived early, have you been waiting long?"

Meng's mother and Meng Ruohua first bowed before replying, "Your Highness, I have just arrived."

Princess Yangcheng glanced at Meng Ruohua and said, "Let's go in and offer incense first, then catch up properly."

Meng's mother naturally agreed and followed Princess Yangcheng into the mountain gate.

After offering incense in the main hall, I also made a special trip to the side hall to pay my respects to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guangsheng Temple enshrines several Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Although she would pray to all of them every time she came, Princess Yangcheng only prayed to Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is in charge of marriage. This made Meng's mother think a lot.

Meng Ruohua, who was following behind, couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. Could Princess Yangcheng know something?

And why did the way she looked at me just now seem to have a smile in her eyes?

Could it be that Yu Yan told her everything but didn't?

When they returned to the courtyard arranged for Princess Yangcheng, Meng's mother and Meng Ruohua's doubts were resolved.

"To be honest, Madam Meng, you know my son is so old and still unmarried. I'm really worried about him!" Princess Yangcheng said with a smile.

She wasn't an assertive person to begin with, and once she let go of her princess-like airs, she seemed very kind.

Mencius' mother smiled and said, "Your son is handsome and talented, he will never have trouble finding a wife. Perhaps it is just that his time for marriage has not yet come."

Princess Yangcheng gave Meng Ruohua another deep look, and said with a smile, "How can I not worry? That boy is like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. If he had said a few more words, I would have found him a wife three or four years ago. Why would I have to wait until now?"

Mencius' mother didn't know how to respond to this, so she just laughed it off and said, "The commander has a grand vision and is a man who can accomplish great things."

Meng Ruohua's lips twitched. What do you mean, "getting married three or four years earlier"?

Princess Yangcheng lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and then urged Madam Meng, "Madam Meng, try this pre-rain Longjing tea. That boy got it from the Emperor. It tastes better than the ordinary tea."

Mencius' mother readily agreed, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. The tea was refreshing, sweet, and better than the tea she used at home.

“The commander is filial and always thinks of the princess. The princess need not worry. Just wait for a house full of children and grandchildren.”

"Let's not talk about having a house full of children and grandchildren for now; he needs to find a wife first."

Meng's mother's heart skipped a beat. The princess kept mentioning her daughter-in-law. What did she mean by this? Did she have her eye on someone and want her to mediate?

However, the Meng family had never had any dealings with the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, so she couldn't just take anything upon herself.

Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't notice that Princess Yangcheng's gaze kept falling on Meng Ruohua.

Meng Ruohua sensed it, but she didn't know what to say, so she just gave Princess Yangcheng a polite smile.

Once Meng's mother understood, she looked up and said, "What the princess says is true. Starting a family and establishing a career are important matters and should not be taken lightly."

Princess Yangcheng smiled and didn't care about Meng's mother's excuses. Since she had already chosen a daughter-in-law, she wasn't in such a hurry anymore.

"Yes, Madam Meng is right. As soon as that boy agrees, I will get to work and make sure it's a grand affair."

Mencius' mother flattered him, saying, "With the dignity of a princess, the commander's wedding will surely be grander than ever."

Even though she rarely goes out, she knows that Princess Yangcheng and the Yong'an Marquis's mansion don't get along, so she doesn't want to risk offending them.

Princess Yangcheng, who had been in high spirits, suddenly sighed and said, "I'm worried that people will look down on this child for being too old."

Mencius' mother advised, "Commander, you are in the prime of your life, how can you be considered old?"

"I'm glad Madam Meng doesn't mind," Princess Yangcheng said with a smile.

But that smile made Meng's mother feel very uncomfortable. What did she mean by "as long as she doesn't mind"? What right did she have to mind? She didn't have any daughters waiting to be married.

Thinking of her daughter, Meng's mother suddenly realized that she did indeed have a daughter!

She turned her head and looked at Meng Ruohua with a puzzled expression, then turned back in disbelief.

I must be overthinking it!

Princess Yangcheng then found Madam Meng quite interesting. Could it be that she, like herself, was completely unaware of her two youngest daughters' thoughts?

As Meng Ruohua listened to their conversation, her heart pounded with anxiety, fearing that Princess Yangcheng would reveal the truth in her next sentence.

Shouldn't these kinds of things be discussed by both sets of parents? Why drag her into it?

Her unease and shyness were noticed by Princess Yangcheng, which made the princess like her even more. It seems that it was not just that boy's unrequited love!

Seeing that the princess did not speak again, Meng's mother thought for a moment and then prepared to get up and take her leave. "Princess, you must be tired after traveling all this way. Why don't you rest for a while?"

Although she guessed that the princess wanted her to help find a husband, she pretended not to know since the princess didn't say anything for a long time.

Princess Yangcheng waved her hand, "The carriage ride isn't tiring, but it's a bit boring. Why don't Madam Meng go back and rest first, and have Miss Meng accompany me for a walk?"

"It's good that the princess doesn't mind her being stupid. She's young and should get out and about more."

"Madam Meng is too modest. Miss Meng is clever and quick-witted, and I liked her at first sight."

After bowing and taking her leave, Meng Ruohua's mother gave her a look as she passed by, signaling her to take good care of her.

Meng Ruohua nodded secretly. If Princess Yangcheng was deliberately making things difficult for her, there was nothing she could do.

In the past, she always deliberately avoided these things, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she can't accept it for a while if her future son wants to marry a woman who has divorced and returned home.

Today, Princess Yangcheng has been mentioning arranging a marriage for Yu Yan from time to time. Has she already found a suitable candidate? Or is it that Yu Yan and the princess disagree, and the princess is taking a roundabout approach to warn herself to stay away from Yu Yan?

Meng Ruohua was uneasy, but her face remained expressionless. She even managed a polite smile when Princess Yangcheng looked over.

Princess Yangcheng could easily see through her thoughts, so she deliberately remained silent to let her imagine.

Once she's thought through all the worst possibilities, I'll explain things to her properly, and I'm sure I can get her to agree immediately.

Princess Yangcheng's move wasn't particularly clever, but it was the most manipulative tactic she could muster. In truth, she would have preferred to say it directly.

But when he thought about how well Yu Yan and Meng Ruohua were keeping it a secret, he couldn't help but want to tease them.

Hmph! Let you all experience the anxiety I feel as an old mother!

Princess Yangcheng got up and walked out, and Meng Ruohua immediately followed.

She had only taken two steps when Princess Yangcheng raised her hand, gesturing for Meng Ruohua to stroke her.

Meng Ruohua hurriedly raised her arm to let Princess Yangcheng lean on it, but unexpectedly, Princess Yangcheng took her arm.
