Tong was so happy to hear this that she immediately asked, "That's great. Master, can you help me figure out which girl is more suitable?"

Since the master has given me this suggestion, I must do it right away, otherwise all that money will be wasted.

The master squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then he counted with his fingers and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Yes, she is the daughter of the horse butcher in town."

Before Mrs. Tong could react, Mrs. Luo raised her eyebrows when she heard it.

"What? I don't agree. We are the general's mansion. Our general holds a high position of power in the capital. How can the son of the general's mansion marry the daughter of a butcher?"

Previously, Miss Luo from the Chen family was considered to be of low status, and now he wants to marry a butcher’s daughter. How could that be possible?

Tong finally realized what was going on and immediately felt something was wrong. She turned around and asked tentatively, "Master, is there no other suitable person?"

The master pinched his fingers again, and shook his head calmly under the expectant gazes of the two men, "Young Master Jiang is destined to face this great calamity, and he needs to find a woman with a strong destiny to stop it. I just happened to have compared the horoscopes of Ma the butcher's daughter, and I found that they are the most compatible. I'm afraid that other women can't stop this evil spirit!"

When Tong heard this, she immediately became thoughtful and insisted on asking Luo for her consent. In her heart, nothing was more important than Jiang Feng's life. Even if he had to marry the butcher's daughter, as long as her son could survive, she could find a way to divorce his wife and remarry later.

"Sister, there is no other way now. Please, you know how important Feng'er is to me. I can't live without him!"

"No, I absolutely disagree. Don't even think about it. There's no way I'll agree to it."

If the son of the general's mansion married a butcher's daughter, wouldn't he become a laughing stock? Who would want to marry the daughter of the Jiang family? Wouldn't this lower the threshold for the general's mansion to select people?

She is the mistress of the house, so naturally she is responsible for the reputation of the entire family!

Luo rushed out of the room with an angry look on her face. No matter how Tong shouted at her, she didn't even turn back to look at her. Er Niang stamped her feet anxiously.

This wouldn't do, she had to find a way to save her son.

The master looked at the two of them with indifference, then found an excuse and left.

But no one knew that the master turned a corner into a hidden alley and saw Jiang Xueying waiting beside a pillar.

"How's it going? Is everything done?"

Jiang Xueying had a sweet smile on her face and looked harmless.

"I have done everything the young lady asked me to do, and she even asked for an extra 100 taels of silver. The lady looked very distressed."

The master bowed respectfully to Jiang Xueying.

Jiang Xueying raised her eyebrows, nodded at him in appreciation, and then her face darkened again.

"Don't let anyone else know about this."

"clear."

…

On the second day, Tong took the initiative to bring people to Ma the Butcher's house to propose marriage. She only had this one son, and her future good life depended on him. Now that he finally had hope of survival, she naturally could not give up.

When Butcher Ma heard the purpose of Tong's visit, he smiled flatteringly and quickly invited her in.

"I wonder what Mrs. Jiang is doing here today?"

Butcher Ma hurriedly took out the best tea from his home and asked his daughter to make tea for Tong.

Tong was frightened by the ugly appearance of Ma Butcher's daughter. Although she had heard that Ma Butcher's daughter was extremely ugly, she had never seen her true face. Seeing her now was really an eye-opener for her.

The Ma family's daughter pretended to be obedient and agreed, leaving the others to talk.

Tong was a little hesitant, but as things had come to this point she could only carry out the original plan. Without saying anything more nonsense, she went straight to the point and stated the purpose of her visit today and what had happened.

"Okay, that's the thing. If you have no problem with that, let your daughter and my son get married in ten days. What do you think?"

Butcher Ma was so overwhelmed by the good news that he was stunned for a moment. He confirmed with Tong again.

"Madam, do you want my daughter to marry the young master of the Jiang family to bring good luck?"

Tong nodded impatiently, her eyes full of disgust and disdain. She didn't want her son to marry a butcher's daughter in the first place, not to mention that she was not that good-looking. But now she was forced to do so and had to compromise. The most important thing was to solve Jiang Feng's life problem first.

Butcher Ma didn't care about Luo's attitude at all, instead he was very happy.

He worked hard for half his life to support his wife and children, all for the sake of his daughter marrying into a good family and bringing great honor and money to their Ma family. However, his daughter was ugly and had a bad temper, and no one in the surrounding area was willing to marry her. She was still unmarried at such an old age. Now that the opportunity had finally come, how could he refuse?

Butcher Ma did not ask his daughter's opinion and agreed readily. This was a good thing that came right to his doorstep.

After finishing her work, Tong returned happily. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Luo sitting on a chair with a stern face waiting for her.

Looking at Luo's expression, she must have known everything. Tong couldn't help but stop and silently thought of an explanation in her heart.

After seeing Tong, Luo stood up suddenly, with anger flashing in her eyes, and started cursing at Tong.

"Why don't you listen to anything I say? Do you or I make the decision in this family? Are you just going to disobey me?"

Luo was almost pissed off at Tong. She was more of a hindrance than a help. She should have locked her in the house and not let her go out. Otherwise, she would not have done such a ridiculous thing.

Seeing that Luo was really angry, Tong quickly stepped forward and knelt in front of Luo, crying and begging Luo to forgive her.

"Sister, I really have no choice. Feng'er grew up under your care, and you can't bear to watch him die like this, right?"

Luo stared at Tong's heartbroken expression for a long while before finally sighing and closing her eyes helplessly.

What can she do now that things have come to this?

"Forget it, let's plan the wedding."

…

The wedding of the Ma and Jiang families caused a sensation in the entire county, and it became a household name in almost every nearby town and village. After all, everyone knew that the ugly girl from Ma the Butcher's family had never been married for so many years, and now she was marrying into the Jiang family. Everyone was saying all kinds of things about her.

"Oh, did I hear wrongly? Is this the Ma family with the ugly daughter? Didn't they say that their daughter has never married at such an old age? Why is she now..."

"Hush, keep your voice down. I heard that the young master of the Jiang family was seriously ill and was looking for someone to marry him, so he chose the girl from the Ma family. Otherwise, how could it be his family's turn?"

"So there is such a thing, really..."
