Although Old Lady Yang was dissatisfied with the arbitrary decision of Old Marquis Wang, she could not change the marriage that had already been arranged. However, she would not give up her plan to let Wang Xingren marry more women.

When old Marquis Wang wakes up, we will ask him clearly to see whose family the girl is from. If she is from an ordinary family, then let her be the second wife. This is not a big problem.

She looked at the crying Wang Xiaorong and Li He, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Don't worry, wait until your grandfather wakes up, and then I will discuss it with him.

This matter cannot be resolved in a short time. Xingren's marriage concerns the entire Wang family, so we must be cautious. "

After hearing this, Wang Xiaorong and Li He were still sobbing, but they knew they had to wait until old Lord Wang woke up.

Old Lord Wang slept for a full half day before waking up. Wang Xiaorong and Li He had been waiting at Old Madam Yang's place.

As soon as Lord Wang woke up, Li He took Lady Yang to find Lord Wang to ask about the situation.

As soon as he saw Wang Xiaorong and Li He, Lord Wang knew why they came.

Madam Yang asked, "Old man, which family did you arrange for Xingren to marry?"

Lord Wang replied, "An ordinary family."

"What? An ordinary family?" Old Madam Yang thought she had heard wrong. She thought that when Old Marquis Wang went out of town, he would arrange an appointment for Wang Xingren with a prominent family from some place.

Wang Xiaorong and Li He's eyes lit up. If it was an ordinary family, then Li He would have a hope of becoming Wang Xingren's principal wife.

Lord Wang said, "What's wrong with an ordinary family? If you don't understand, don't worry about it. There is no discussion on this matter. It is settled like this."

Although Li He dared to act coquettishly in front of Madam Yang, she did not dare to say much in front of Marquis Wang. She looked at Madam Yang pitifully.

Madam Yang sighed and said, "Old man, Li He and Xing Ren have been childhood sweethearts. Let Li He marry Xing Ren. The marriage that has already been arranged will not change. Let the girl be Xing Ren's concubine."

Lord Wang glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have already agreed with her that she is my legal wife."

Lord Wang glanced at Wang Xiaorong and Li He, and said, "If Li He wants to marry Xingren, she can only be a concubine, and she must get Xingren's approval. If Xingren doesn't agree, it's useless to say anything."

"I don't want to be a mistress..." Li He shouted loudly, tears falling down her face.

"Grandfather, I don't want to be a young master..." Li He looked at Old Lord Wang with a pitiful look.

But Lord Wang remained unmoved and didn't buy it.

At this time, Ye Hongling came in and said to Lord Wang, "Dad, the master sent someone back to tell him that he was leaving Beijing and his condition was getting worse. He probably wouldn't be back for a while."

The person who came back to deliver the letter only said this and did not give any other information. Ye Hongling was a little worried.

Lord Wang nodded, "I see, don't worry, I know what he is going to do."

Ye Hongling didn't want to get involved in what was happening here, so she prepared to leave after saying that.

Wang Xiaorong hurriedly pulled Ye Hongling and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of Xingren's marriage?"

Ye Hongling said with a smile, "I will follow Dad's arrangements. A girl that Dad likes must be a good girl. I believe in Dad's judgment.

And Dad said Xingren likes it too, so as a mother I have nothing to say.

In marriage, the most important thing is whether there is affection between two people. Only when they are in love and compatible can they live together till old age."

“But the other party is just an ordinary family, how can he be worthy of the status of the Wang family?”

Ye Hongling was still smiling. She was like this, never showing a bad face at home. No matter what she said or what she said, she always smiled. Old Madam Yang could not find any fault with Ye Hongling at home.

Ye Hongling said: "Sister, what you said is not right. What's wrong with an ordinary family? Have you forgotten that my parents were just ordinary people before?

When my mother married my father, he was just a soldier.

At that time, Xingren's father was only a little over one year old, and he was pregnant with you, my sister, and my mother was alone with the child and was still pregnant..."

Ye Hongling's eyes were red as she spoke, "My grandparents passed away early, and there was no one to help at home. It was really difficult for my mother at that time..."

"But my mother raised two children by herself."

"Mom once told us that at that time we didn't know whether Dad was alive or dead. If Dad died in the war, she wanted to leave him with descendants. She couldn't let the Wang family's incense die out. She had to raise the two children no matter how hard or tiring it was..."

"Fortunately, Dad was blessed by God and the ancestors of the Wang family protected him. Dad fought bravely on the battlefield and made great achievements. At a young age, he became a loyal and brave general of the Shenwu Army. Later, he became the Shenwu General and led the Shenwu Army."

"Dad brought Mom to the capital, which was a happy ending after all the hardships. At that time, many officials and noble families wanted to marry their daughters to Dad.

But Dad didn't agree. He said he owed Mom too much in this life and couldn't do anything to let her down or let her suffer. The relationship between Dad and Mom is really enviable..."

The past scenes emerged in Madam Yang's mind, including the sufferings she had experienced and her unswerving love for Old Marquis Wang. Madam Yang's eyes also turned red.

She looked at Lord Wang, her eyes full of tenderness, "Ah... Never mind. Hongling is right. If two people want to be together, they must love each other, otherwise it will be hard for them to be together until the end. Xingren has always regarded Li He as his sister, and we can all see that. Let's not force it."

Wang Xiaorong saw that Old Madam Yang's attitude had changed, and she said anxiously, "Mother, how can you give up so easily? Li He and Xing Ren have been together since childhood, and their friendship is deep. How can you let an ordinary woman who came out of nowhere take the position of your wife?"

Madam Yang patted Wang Xiaorong's hand gently and said, "Xiaorong, don't be so stubborn. Your father has made the decision, so he must have his reasons. We can't just look at family background. Xingren's happiness is the most important thing."

"I don't want it..." Li He shouted, covering her face and ran out of the Wang Mansion.

"He'er..." Wang Xiaorong looked at Old Lord Wang and Old Madam Yang with a reproachful look, then hurried to chase after Li He.

"Alas..." Old Madam Yang sighed in her heart.

After Wang Xiaorong and Li He left,

Lord Wang spoke slowly: “I met this girl by chance this time. She is smart, kind, and pure-hearted. Xingren also gets along very well with her, so I decided on this marriage.

The most important thing is that Xingren likes that girl. Marriage cannot be forced. We must respect Xingren's own wishes."

Ye Hongling nodded and said yes, then asked, "Dad, have you set a date for the wedding?"

Lord Wang said, "Not yet. We originally wanted to discuss the wedding date when Xingren's father was here, but he probably won't be back for a while. So let's discuss the wedding date among us."
