Chapter 250 The Marriage Proceeds with Many Trials

The Lady of Zhenbei: "Madam, General's wife, these days I've been busy arranging a marriage for my cousin, so I haven't had time to visit. Now the marriage is settled, and even the wedding date has been set for ten days from now."

Ah! Now that the child's marriage is finally settled, we can finally relax.

"That's why we've come to propose marriage so quickly. This time we're truly sincere; we've even brought the official matchmaker. As long as the old lady and the general's wife nod in approval, our marriage will be settled. Of course, if you have any other requirements for our family, please feel free to mention them."

The Lady of Zhenbei Marquis appeared confident and determined to achieve her goal.

Upon hearing that Lin Chuchu's wedding was in ten days, Old Madam Ning and Yu Qingci exchanged a glance, with Yu Qingci showing interest.

"Really? May I ask which family you are referring to, Miss?"

Zheng replied with a smile:

"The family they arranged is a wealthy landlord surnamed Huang in the countryside. Their youngest son is the same age as the girl and is currently learning business from the head of the family. He is also very handsome and a perfect match for the girl."

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law went to great lengths to find a good marriage for their cousin. Although the Huang family lived in the countryside, they were one of the most prominent families in the area, with abundant wealth and thousands of acres of fertile land. Moreover, there were officials in the family, making them a powerful and influential family.

That said, although Miss Chu's family was from the capital, their lineage had declined. Her parents were very pleased with this excellent marriage arrangement and readily agreed.

Yu Qingci: "Oh? Is the old lady of the manor satisfied?"

Madam Zheng smiled and said, "Of course I'm satisfied. Although the old lady was reluctant, the young lady is of a certain age and cannot be delayed. Moreover, since her biological parents have given their consent, the old lady has nothing to say and has finally agreed."

Therefore, this marriage between the cousins ​​can be considered a happy ending for everyone.

After Zheng finished speaking, she looked at the Lady of Zhenbei Marquis, slapped her thigh, and said again:

"Oh dear, I forgot to tell you, yesterday my aunt sent someone to take my cousin back to her own home to prepare for her wedding. To prevent her family from being impolite, she specially hired a nanny to help with the wedding arrangements."

The two women, aunt and sister-in-law, recounted the story of their cousin in detail. As they said, the Huang family was indeed extremely wealthy in the countryside, and their interest in Lin Chuchu was likely an attempt to climb the social ladder by attaching themselves to the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion.

Of course, let's not dwell on Lin Chuchu's refusal to marry. Anyway, she's already been packed up and sent back to her own home, and her biological parents have received a generous dowry. She has no choice but to marry him.

The Lady of Zhenbei turned her gaze eagerly to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, her smile deepening:

"To be honest, my good-for-nothing son has been waiting so long to get married, and we parents are extremely anxious. Finally, he has chosen such a wonderful girl as Yun Chu, and we are naturally overjoyed. We hope that we can form a marriage alliance with your family as soon as possible and bring Yun Chu home."

The official matchmaker standing nearby also chimed in with a smile, "That's right, that's right. Madam, General's wife, the General's Mansion and the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion are a perfect match. The young lady and the young master are a handsome couple, a match made in heaven. If the two families can get married, it will truly be a match made in heaven. It will be hard to find another marriage as good as this in the capital!"

"Hehehe, if your household agrees to this marriage, why don't we exchange the betrothal gifts today?"

As he spoke, he looked at the Lady of Zhenbei, who understood and quickly took out Li Beifeng's birth chart from her bosom.

Madam Ning was already very satisfied with Li Beifeng, and now that the biggest obstacle had been resolved, she had nothing more to say. Just as she was about to speak, Yu Qingci smiled faintly:

"No rush. Marriage is a major event for children, and it requires the approval of the head of the family. Fortunately, my general has been busy with official duties at the military camp these past few days and will not be back for three days."

"We can wait until the general returns and personally selects an auspicious day before exchanging the betrothal gifts."

Once the betrothal gifts are exchanged, the marriage is considered settled. However, Lin Chuchu's marriage is still ten days away. Who knows what might happen in the meantime? Yu Qingci felt it was better to be cautious and wait until after the ten days to agree.

Lady Zhenbei and Madam Zheng exchanged a glance, both understanding Yu Qingci's meaning. Their eyes were filled with helplessness, but given her attitude, they couldn't force her. They could only generously suggest waiting a few more days.

After leaving the general's mansion, the two women, aunt and sister-in-law, boarded the carriage to return home. Madam Zheng sighed:

"This general's wife is quite something. I never expected her to be so cautious at such a young age. She is really too clever. On the other hand, her old lady is very easy to fool."

Lady of Zhenbei: "Who says otherwise? Back then, when the two daughters of the Marquis's family were married off in place of each other, many people felt sorry for this third young lady. But who could have imagined that she would have such good fortune? As long as General Lu is here, the General's Mansion will only prosper more and more. This immense wealth and power is waiting for her to enjoy."

Zheng: "Yes! Such good fortune is something others can only envy."

However, judging from their attitude, they are quite satisfied with this marriage. As long as the young lady marries smoothly and doesn't cause any trouble, the marriage between the two families is probably a done deal.

Lady Zhenbei had a sudden inspiration: "This reminds me. Lin Chuchu has lived in our manor for so many years, and I know her personality better than anyone. Back then, in order to successfully climb into my son's bed, she used many underhanded and dirty tricks."

She's cared for my son for so many years, and now that the marriage is finally settled, the way she's making trouble shows she's not really doing it willingly. And then there's my matriarch, just thinking about her gives me a headache.

No way! This time, I'm determined to marry this troublemaker off smoothly!

Lady Zhenbei made up her mind and, after returning to the Marquis's residence, sent her most capable nanny and two clever maids to Lin Chuchu's family home.

The Lin family was very satisfied with this marriage. Over the years, they had kept Lin Chuchu, their illegitimate daughter, by the side of their aunt who had been married for many years in the Marquis's mansion. They hoped that Lin Chuchu would be ambitious and win over the Marquis of Zhenbei's heir as soon as possible, so that their whole family could rise to prominence and live a life of wealth and glory again.

But now they have long given up on that idea. The heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei doesn't even look at her daughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dragged it out until now, and wouldn't even agree to let her be a concubine.

The reason they're rushing to send Lin Chuchu back for her marriage is because they've already found a suitable match for the young master, and they're just waiting to marry off their useless daughter so that the other family can come and propose.

Fortunately, the marriage they found for Lin Chuchu was not bad. Although it was in the countryside, it was indeed the most prominent landowner in the area. After Lin Chuchu married into the family, she would be a proper young mistress, and it would be more legitimate for them to come and beg for money from her.

Therefore, the Lin family was very satisfied with this marriage.
