The Jiang family's headship was originally supposed to fall to the eldest son of the eldest branch. Unfortunately, Jiang Shi died young, and his only son was still an infant. Jiang Zhenwen was not very involved in the family affairs, so he gradually handed over the family affairs to the second son, Jiang Huai.

Over the years, Jiang Huai has been in charge of the Jiang family's academy and all matters of the clan. Although he does not have the title of clan leader, he is actually the clan leader.

According to Jiang Zhenwen, he actually wanted to pass the family business to his eldest grandson, Jiang Yan, the son of the late Jiang Shi. However, he was old after all and had long since stopped caring about family affairs, so even if he wanted to favor his grandson, he was powerless.

So the Jiang family is now facing the problem of whether to pass the throne to their son or grandson.

The Yun family wanted to marry into the Jiang family, and chose this critical juncture. For the Jiang family, this marriage had some other complicated factors.

In the end, only two women of marriageable age from the Jiang family came to Yunyang City to attend the banquet: Jiang Qianniang, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and Jiang Yuanniang, the granddaughter of Jiang Huai, the second daughter of the Jiang family. Unfortunately, Jiang Qianniang fell ill the very day she arrived in Yunyang City due to acclimatization issues. She was covered in rashes and could not stand the elements, so she had to stay at the Jiang family's villa in Yunyang City to recuperate.

Mrs. Yun said, "Since it is said, it is of course true. This is what our old lady meant."

Jiang Yuanniang looked at Mrs. Yun. Her face was not as happy as Qiuxiang's. Instead, she looked a little nervous and hesitant.

When Madam Yun saw this, she knew that she was thinking of Yun Wenfang's tricks, so she patted his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will make the decision for you not just this time, but in the future as well. I will never let you down."

Jiang Yuanniang lowered her head with her eyes downcast, and her face slowly turned red.

Seeing her like this, Madam Yun knew that she was obedient and could listen to advice. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile became even more amiable. "I heard that you came to Yunyang City with your aunt this time?"

Jiang Yuanniang nodded gently. "My sixth sister is sick, and my aunt is staying in the other courtyard to take care of her."

Madam Yun pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you think you should discuss this matter with your aunt? She's the only elder in the Jiang family who's in charge this time, right?"

Jiang Yuanniang shook her head, then nodded, pausing before continuing, "Originally, my grandmother was going to come, but my great-grandfather had some matters that needed to be attended to by my grandfather and grandmother, so she stayed home and asked my great aunt to come instead. My great aunt has been very hard-working taking care of my sixth sister. I sent someone back to check on them yesterday, and my great aunt seemed a little unwell and had little appetite. This matter... this matter should not be known to her."

Jiang Yuanniang said this because she didn't want the elders in her family to know what happened today. After all, when a girl encounters such a thing, she will only hide it and will never want to make it known to everyone. Moreover, as far as Mrs. Yun knows, Jiang Yuanniang's aunt is only her cousin.

This was exactly what Madam Yun wanted, and she felt even more satisfied. She held Jiang Yuanniang's hand and said, "Good child, you are so considerate and sensible. However, I also think that there are some things I should discuss with your grandmother and mother. By the way, are your aunt and sister seriously ill? The Yanbei Palace has several doctors with great medical skills. If necessary, I will ask the princess to send a doctor to take a look. If there is any shortage of medicinal herbs or something, please let me know."
