"Is she trying to find a husband for herself? Does that mean our Huan'er also wants to get married?"

Huan'er blushed instantly and became embarrassed.

There was a matchmaker in the capital named Wu Yiming who had dealt with that person before. She knew that Wu Yiming was a kind and honest person with a lot of people on her side. She also knew that Wu Yiming wouldn't randomly arrange marriages for people. She said that the couples she arranged were all living quite well. Wu Yiming felt that her requirements were not high and that the matchmaker should be able to find a suitable person.

The matchmaker naturally recognized Wu Yiming, but assumed she was a man and was unaware of her female identity.

When Wu Yiming arrived at the matchmaker's place, the matchmaker greeted her with a smile. Since the matchmaker knew Wu Yiming, she naturally knew some of her situation. There seemed to be no one else at home, so today's event must be for her marriage.

Wu Yiming is twenty years old, handsome, and runs such a successful business, so naturally there are plenty of good families' daughters willing to marry him.

Therefore, the matchmaker received the guests with great care.

The two exchanged pleasantries before the matchmaker asked, "Young master, who do you wish to be a matchmaker for today?"

Wu Yiming said, "Naturally, it's myself."

The matchmaker smiled and said, "Young Master Wu is a handsome and capable man. If he hadn't kept his thoughts to himself, I would have gone to find him long ago."

Wu Yiming knew she had misunderstood, so she had no choice but to tell the truth: "I'm sorry to trouble you with my visit today. It's not easy to hide this from people. I am a girl, and because I have some business skills and I'm interested in it, I started doing business. Now that I'm of marriageable age, my family doesn't want me to delay my marriage, so I came to trouble you."

The matchmaker, who had seen her share of ups and downs, was still taken aback. In all her years, she had never heard of a young woman disguising herself as a man to do business.

Fortunately, the matchmaker was good at adjusting herself. After her initial surprise, she began to examine Wu Yiming closely and then realized that if she looked closely, she could tell that Wu Yiming's build was not like a man's. Before, she had only thought that Wu Yiming was slender and weak, and she had never thought that she was a woman.

Matchmaker: "Does the young lady have any requirements?"

Wu Yiming briefly stated her requirements, and then the matchmaker's gaze towards her changed somewhat. The matchmaker tentatively asked, "Miss Wu, are you planning to find a husband for your daughter-in-law?"

Wu Yiming was reminded by the matchmaker, but then she realized that she could indeed take in a son-in-law. However, as a modern person who had read many novels and watched many TV shows, she naturally knew that taking in a son-in-law could easily lead to trouble.

It's true that men from ordinary families with a bit of spirit are willing to marry into another family. But if a woman like her chooses a family with ulterior motives, she might end up being skinned alive.

Wu Yiming: "I don't plan to take a son-in-law as my wife. You can keep an eye out for me first. It's okay if you don't find anyone suitable."

Wu Yiming was worried that the matchmaker wouldn't do her job well, so he left a lot of money behind before leaving. It was quite a lot of effort to get married.

While Wu Yiming was working hard, Yunrong was also looking for a husband for him. Since she couldn't go out from the palace, she sent a letter to her mother, asking her to keep an eye out for potential partners.

Uya initially disliked Wu Yiming after hearing the rumors, but now that her daughter had explained things to her, she naturally came to terms with it. Since her daughter had said that, she was willing to put in some effort.

Uya naturally knew where Wu Yiming lived. She also knew that it was inappropriate to invite him to the Fucha family, after all, she was the Empress's mother. If she really invited him over, who knows what kind of rumors would spread!

She personally visited the house with her trusted maidservant.

When Wu Yiming received Lady Wuya, she was rather nonchalant. She didn't seem to mind the Empress's mother, but the fact that the Empress's mother actually came over startled her.

Uya treated Wu Yiming with great gentleness.

"Don't feel guilty. The Empress has already told me that she will definitely recognize your sister. She is my daughter, and I will naturally arrange your marriage."

Wu Yiming then realized that it was probably the Empress's idea. Indeed, she was all alone, and her nanny didn't live here, so she couldn't arrange her marriage by herself.

"Thank you for coming, Madam."

Uya smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. It's normal for girls to be asked to marry. Tell me your requirements and I'll have someone keep an eye out for you."

Wu Yiming explained briefly: "Because of the Emperor and the Empress's wishes, even after marriage, we will still be dealing with business. Therefore, we hope that our future husband will be an understanding person. The Princess Consort also knows that nowadays men often feel that it is wrong for women to show their faces in public, which is also to prevent disputes from arising in the future."

Uya understood.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Uya said a lot more before leaving.

However, the matchmaker did visit twice during this period, and Liu Jiangqing saw her the second time.

Who is this person?

His servant glanced at the man's attire and said, "He's probably a matchmaker. Young Master Wu next door is getting on in years, and it's natural for matchmakers to come knocking. By the way, young master, Madam has also started looking for suitable matches for you. I bet matchmakers will be waiting for us at the gate soon."

Liu Jiangqing was somewhat flustered; this Miss Wu was planning to get married.

In recent days, he has learned a lot about Wu Yiming. She lives alone next door and does some business. Perhaps she doesn't want to be disturbed, so almost no one comes to visit her.

After learning about this, Liu Jiangqing was absent-minded all day. When his mother saw that he was not paying attention to his food, she asked, "Jiangqing, what's wrong? What's bothering you?"

Liu Jiangqing snapped out of her daze and said, "No."

His mother knew he wasn't telling the truth, but it didn't matter.
