Grandma Yin struggled and screamed all the way, and even after leaving the Marquis's mansion and getting into the carriage, she still couldn't stop screaming.

Such a commotion quickly reached the ears of Old Madam Jiang.

"Madam, what do you think the Yin family is up to?"

Madam Jiang fiddled with the prayer beads in her hand, saying indifferently, "These are all private matters of the Yin family, and have nothing to do with our Jiang family! But who exactly is this person who came to our door?"

"Qiuxia went to inquire!"

After pondering for a long time, Madam Jiang finally spoke up: "Bring the First Madam here!"

At this moment, Madam Jiang was tightly gripping her teacup, gritting her teeth as she said, "Didn't we just give him some jewelry? Why is he asking for money again?"

Zijin stared at the still-steaming teacup, trembling with fear and daring not to speak, afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would be splashed with tea.

But fearing that remaining silent would also bring trouble, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Madam, that man is still waiting at the side gate. Why don't I go and get rid of him first?"

"How am I supposed to deal with him! He'll never leave without money! I've been too soft-hearted all these years. I was planning to deal with him properly after the funeral, but he's come knocking on my door!"

He'll choose the path to hell when there's a way to heaven! Don't blame me for that!

Seeing the chilling coldness in Madam Jiang's eyes, Zi Jin remained unfazed, saying, "Madam should have done this long ago!"

Madam Jiang put down her teacup. "How much readily available silver do we have in our accounts?"

"Only one hundred taels left!"

"Give him fifty taels and tell him I will go to see him at 9:00 AM tomorrow!"

Zijin should have left.

Qiu Ling arrived at this time.

Upon hearing that she was being sought, Madam Jiang naturally understood what it was about.

As she walked, she pondered how to respond, until she saw Second Grandmother Jiang and called out, "Where are you going, Second Sister-in-law? I'm on my way to see Mother, why don't we come together?"

Second Madam Jiang looked hurried. Before she could hide her worry from Madam Jiang, Madam Jiang asked with feigned concern, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried? Has something happened?"

"It's nothing! It's just that the weather is hot, and I feel restless!"

Grandma Jiang fanned herself with a round fan as she asked, "Why is Sister-in-law going to see Mother at this hour?"

"Oh, second sister-in-law, you don't know this, but today a shameless girl came to our mansion. She came in and immediately started shouting that she wanted to marry Brother Lin."

You didn't see it! A little girl took down two burly old women with a single kick!

Even Ah Zi was so bothered that she had no choice but to settle the person in her courtyard!

You wouldn't believe it, she's a young woman, yet she drinks like a man! Tell me, how can there be such a wild and unrestrained girl in the world!

Grandma Jiang paused abruptly in her hand, holding the fan.

The two old women lost in a single move. If such a person were to marry Lin Ge'er, what would happen to her An Ge'er?

Madam Jiang smiled and continued, "Mother sent me over because of this. Would you like to come along, Second Sister-in-law?"

"As daughters-in-law, we should naturally share our mothers' burdens. Now that my mother is troubled, I naturally have to go and see her!"

Thus, the two of them arrived together at Shotai-in...

When Jiang Segu learned that Qiu Xia was inquiring about Liao Luzhen's identity, he had no intention of hiding it. He even ordered people to deliberately spread Liao Luzhen's identity and thoughtfully arranged a time for the two to meet for the first time.

Therefore, when Madam Jiang and Second Madam Jiang arrived, Qiu Xia had already told Old Madam Jiang what she had found out.

Madam Jiang's complexion was not very good!

Therefore, both of them were somewhat apprehensive and dared not speak casually.

After a long while, it was still Madam Jiang who signaled Qiuxia to repeat what she had just said.

"I heard that Miss Liao is the daughter of General Weiyuan. A few days ago, when the young master was out, Miss Liao admired his literary talent and fell in love with him at first sight, so she came to find him!"

Although Madam Jiang and Second Madam Jiang were women confined to the inner quarters, they had heard of the illustrious General Weiyuan.

Madam Jiang was immediately horrified. What had she said about Miss Liao earlier?

"...I just came to see which girl is so shameless!"

"Guards! Throw this shameless man out of the Marquis's residence!"

"Whose daughter are you, to be so ill-mannered!"

These are all things she said?

Madam Jiang quickly continued to recall!

"I misspoke, please forgive me, young lady!"

Thank goodness, she apologized!

Madam Jiang patted her chest and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Then, seeing Old Madam Jiang's sharp gaze directed at her, Madam Jiang quickly lowered her hand. "If this were an ordinary family's daughter, our Marquis's mansion would absolutely not tolerate her. But Miss Liao's status is so noble, I'm afraid the Marquis's side..."

"Mother must understand this principle, which is why she asked my sister-in-law to come up with a solution!"

Madam Jiang looked at Second Madam Jiang with a sore throat, "My sister-in-law seems quite confident. Could it be that you have some plan?"

Madam Jiang responded and looked at Second Madam Jiang.

Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "This is not a difficult matter. To establish a marriage alliance between two families, the elders of both sides must agree. Even if we want to climb the social ladder, we still need General Weiyuan's approval!"

Who is General Weiyuan? How could he marry his precious daughter to a young man who has lost both parents and has no official title?

Grandma Jiang didn't say what came next, but everyone present understood.

"Actually, it's truly a blessing for Lin-ge'er to have such an opportunity! But sometimes, too much good fortune isn't necessarily a good thing! Besides, Qi Da is not a suitable match..."

"What do you mean 'too good for a mismatch'? I think it's a perfect match!"

Marquis Changping, who had heard the news, strode in and glared fiercely at Second Madam Jiang. "What do you know, you woman? How dare you spout such nonsense!"

Grandma Jiang stammered, "It was my daughter-in-law who spoke recklessly!"

"I think what the second daughter-in-law said makes sense..."

"I think you're delirious from illness!"

Marquis Changping interrupted Madam Jiang sternly, "You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on recovering! I'll go see Miss Liao myself!"

He had originally planned to use Madam Jiang's name to invite Liao Luzhen over for a talk, but seeing Madam Jiang's attitude, he naturally gave up on that idea.

"You two shouldn't bother your mother while she's recovering. Go do what you're supposed to be doing! If you're not busy, go and raise some money to pay off your gambling debts!"

Thus, Madam Jiang and Second Madam Jiang dared not linger any longer and could only apologize to Old Madam Jiang and leave...

After the two left, Marquis Changping gritted his teeth and said, "Su Zheng, let me tell you, if you dare to make any improper moves and disrupt Lin Ge'er's marriage, believe me, I'll send you to the Western Paradise right now!"

I know you're not afraid of death, but believe me, after I kill you, I'll dig up that man's grave and make sure he can't rest in peace even in death!

Old Madam Jiang's eyes were bloodshot as she roared with all her might, "How dare you!"

"You'll know once you try it!"
