Jiang Chuwei went to the estate for two days, and such a big thing happened at home.

Not only did he miss his second brother's victory celebration banquet, but even the Prince of Yu was unable to attend.

Prince Yu has left the capital.

The emperor sent him to oversee a case involving human trafficking.

In retrospect, it seems the Emperor deliberately sent Prince Yu away.

With Prince Yu in the capital, Jiang He's marriage proposal is no longer valid.

Hopefully it's not too late.

Granny Qiu glanced at the princess's expression. "Your Highness, shall we return to the palace?"

Jiang Chuwei leaned against the carriage. "To the General's Mansion!"

She went to see how her second brother would react.

If her second brother was unwilling to marry the Zheng family's daughter, she would risk offending the emperor to find a way to change his mind.

A forced relationship will not be sweet.

Jiang Chuwei had suffered a loss in her own marriage and didn't want her second brother to also have an unhappy marriage.

The emperor is clearly using Prince Jin to check and balance the other princes.

Jiang Chuwei believed that her father and brothers only supported Prince Yu.

However, she didn't want to put her father and brothers in a difficult position because of her.

Instead of doing that, let Prince Yu be the bad guy.

If the emperor insists on going his own way, then it doesn't matter if we break off all relations.

If he dares to let Prince Jin succeed to the throne, then Prince Yu will dare to rebel.

After Jiang Chuwei arrived at the General's Mansion, her mother went directly to see her second brother.

She asked her second brother for his opinion on the marriage, but to her surprise, he said that everything was up to the Emperor.

Jiang Chuwei said, "Second brother, if you are unwilling to marry Miss Zheng, I will ask the prince to speak with the emperor. Perhaps there is room for negotiation."

Jiang He said, "There's no need for such trouble. If Zheng Yao sides with Prince Jin in the future, then you can ask the Emperor to let me divorce her."

Jiang Chuwei: ......

He's already planning to divorce his wife before they've even married her.

"That's not fair to Miss Zheng!"

Jiang Chuwei said.

Jiang He laughed and said, "I was just kidding. You can look to your second brother from now on. He will take good care of himself."

Jiang Chuwei understood her second brother's helplessness, but she didn't want to see him unhappy.

But seeing her second brother's confident demeanor, Jiang Chuwei asked curiously, "Second brother, do you know Miss Zheng?"

"So it reached your ears?"

Jianghe asked.

"What?"

Jiang Chuwei was completely confused.

Jiang He said, "I ran into Zheng Yao today. Seeing how stupid she is, it seems the Zheng family can't count on her either."

Jiang Chuwei was surprised, "You like her?"

Jiang He jumped up, "How could I like her...?"

"Why is Second Brother so excited?" Jiang Chuwei asked with a smile. "It seems my guess was right."

“Yes, my sister guessed right.” Jiang Hai walked in.

Since returning from the palace, Jiang He had been nagging him many times.

His ears are ringing now; he's heard Zheng Yao's name dozens of times.

Jiang Chuwei laughed and said, "No wonder my second brother always wouldn't let me break off the engagement. It turns out he fell in love with Miss Zheng at first sight."

Jiang He scratched his head and did not deny it anymore.

“She seems kind of cute!” Jiang He said, blushing.

Jiang Chuwei found it amazing, "You can find someone cute and fall in love with them after just one meeting?"

She had never experienced love at first sight, so she couldn't understand the feeling of liking someone after just one meeting.

However, this should be considered a pleasant surprise!

"How did you two meet?" Jiang Chuwei asked.

At this point, Jiang He's face turned cold. "She was pushed into the water by Consort Mei today."

Jiang Chuwei said, "It's Consort Mei again. How could she be so vicious!"

Power really can change a person. Thinking back to her first meeting with Consort Mei, Jiang Chuwei just couldn't connect her with the Consort Mei of today.

"It's all because of me that I'm implicated," Jiang He said.

"Don't take all the blame upon yourself; it's Consort Mei who did the evil," Jiang Chuwei said.

"Does Consort Mei want the Ninth Prince to participate in the struggle for the throne?" Jiang He said, "Her intentions are too malicious. She thinks that ruining my marriage with the Duke's family will benefit them. What a fool."

"That's all the love Consort Mei has for the Ninth Prince; she wants the position of Empress Dowager," Jiang Chuwei said, unable to understand why Consort Mei was so obsessed with becoming Empress Dowager.

She was just a country girl who, after enjoying a few days of pampering, started reaching into places she shouldn't have.

"Today she pushed Zheng Yao into the water, and I will definitely avenge this."

Jiang He said bitterly.

Jiang Hai teased, "You've only met once, why are you already protecting her?"

"You don't understand, this is called fate," Jiang He stubbornly retorted.

Indeed, he wanted to protect her.

Jiang Chuwei finally felt relieved after learning about her second brother's thoughts.

However, it also piqued her curiosity: what kind of woman could make her second brother want to protect her so quickly?

Jiang Chuwei really wanted to see her.

At this moment, Madam Jiang arrived.

The brother and sister have talked for so long that they must have revealed their secrets to each other.

Madam Jiang was worried that her son might have rebellious thoughts, but she didn't expect that as soon as he returned, he would ask his mother to quickly go through the three letters and six rites.

"Your father and I have discussed it, and the marriage between Jianghe and Jianghai will be held on the same day."

"That's what Madam Jiang said."

Jiang He and Jiang Hai both looked at their mother, "Is the Zheng (Ye) family willing?"

No one wants to wrong their wife.

Madam Jiang said, "I will invite your mother-in-law to our house tomorrow. Please be prepared."

"Is Miss Zheng here too?" Jiang He asked.

"I'll definitely come, so we can all meet and get to know each other."

Jiang He's mouth stretched all the way to his ears.

"Will Ye Huan come too?" Jiang Hai asked. He and Ye Huan had known each other for a long time, and Ye Huan treated the General's Mansion like her own home.

But for such an important day tomorrow, Jiang Hai really wanted Ye Huan to be there too.

"Of course we'll invite them. We'll all be family from now on, so let's get to know each other first."

"I'm going to stay home tomorrow, it's my day off," Jiang He said immediately.

“I’m not going anywhere either,” Jiang Hai immediately replied.

Madam Jiang looked at her two sons, wondering if they would be able to sleep tonight.

Jiang Chuwei looked at the smiles on her two brothers' faces; it seemed that both of them were very satisfied with their fiancée.

"Wei'er, come with me."

Mrs. Jiang could no longer bear to look at her two sons, so she simply took her daughter and left.

Jiang Chuwei knew her mother had something to say. "Mother, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Here, take this!" The mother handed over a prescription.

"What is this?" Jiang Chuwei asked curiously. After opening it, she saw, "Mother, I can write prescriptions myself."

"A doctor cannot heal himself."

Madam Jiang didn't care and simply shoved the prescription into her hand.

Jiang Chuwei said helplessly, "Mother! We're not in a hurry."

"You need to think about your own future. Give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible to put the prince at ease. With a son by your side, you'll have a better life in the future."

Madam Jiang spoke earnestly and patiently.
