When Jiang's mother heard Prime Minister Jiang say these words, she was stunned. She never expected him to be so heartless.

"Master, how could you say such a thing? Mingzhu is your most beloved daughter. How could you be so cold-blooded and heartless as to say such a thing?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang glanced at her.

Even if she's his favorite daughter, so what? He likes her only because she's useful to him. If she's no longer useful, then who would like her?

"Anyway, this matter depends on you. Whether you can find Jiang Jingyue depends on who will be sent for the marriage alliance. I have heard that the Xiongnu kings have already entered the capital, but they have not yet met the emperor. I don't know what they are doing."

When he finally faces the capital, he must find Jiang Jingyue. If he cannot, he will have no choice but to take Mingzhu with him to meet the Xiongnu King.

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother became excited and couldn't help but secretly make a vow in her heart.

No matter what, she had to find Jiang Jingyue; she couldn't let her daughter suffer.

The Xiongnu king was cold-blooded and ruthless. She didn't even know if her daughter would ever see him again in her lifetime if she really went to marry him.

Therefore, no matter what, Jiang's mother would never allow her daughter to go on a marriage alliance.

If she really can't find Jiang Jingyue, she'll have to find another woman to replace her. However, she doesn't know if Jiang's father will agree to this.

Since Jiang Jingyue and Jiang Mingzhu are both their daughters, it wouldn't really matter if the two were switched. As long as no one reports it, the Emperor certainly wouldn't know.

However, if it were to be someone else's daughter, and the Emperor found out, it would certainly be a very serious matter.

After all, it was a crime of deceiving the emperor. If the emperor wanted to do something to them, then there might not be a Prime Minister Jiang's residence anymore.

Therefore, Jiang's mother knew that this matter could not be handled that way until the very last step.

"Master, don't worry. That brat Jiang Jingyue has never left the house before. This is her first time going out. She definitely won't have gone far. I'll have everyone in the manor look for her now. We're sure we can find her."

Prime Minister Jiang nodded; he also hoped to find Jiang Jingyue.

After all, Jiang Jingyue looks very much like his deceased wife; they are both beautiful, so the chances of her being chosen by the Xiongnu king are higher.

Jiang Mingzhu had already found someone, and if he couldn't find Jiang Jingyue, he would have to sacrifice Jiang Mingzhu. The Prime Minister felt somewhat uncomfortable about this.

"Remember what I said. Since we can't find anyone, let Mingzhu go see the Xiongnu King. I mean what I say and I won't go back on my word. I hope you won't cause trouble then."

Jiang Mingzhu had just arrived, intending to talk to Madam Jiang about making new clothes, but unexpectedly, she overheard this.

When she saw Prime Minister Jiang leave, she immediately hid so that he wouldn't see her.

After he left, Jiang Mingzhu immediately rushed into Madam Jiang's room.

"Mother, what did Father mean by what he just said? Isn't he usually the one who loves his daughter the most? Why would he treat me like this?"

"If you want me to see the Xiongnu king, you might as well kill me. No matter what, I will not go to see that Xiongnu king."

Jiang Mingzhu had already heard about the Xiongnu king, and she felt that if she were to be favored by him, she would not live long, so she was unwilling to do so.

What she hopes for most now is to find a talented and promising young man. Only such a person is worthy of her; no one else is good enough for her.

Moreover, he was just a Xiongnu, and even if he was the king of the Xiongnu, so what?

The Xiongnu were not worthy of being with her, so no matter what happened, if Jiang Mingzhu were to be with the Xiongnu king, she would rather die.

"Xiaozhu, don't worry! I will definitely not let you go on this marriage alliance. If you go, you will never come back. You are my most beloved daughter, how could I bear to do that?"

The most important thing now is to find Jiang Jingyue as soon as possible. Only by finding her can you avoid being forced into a marriage alliance.

Jiang Mingzhu was still somewhat worried when she heard this.

"Mother, what if we can't find her? She's been gone for several days now. The capital is so big, it doesn't seem like it will be easy to find her."

Jiang Mingzhu's mother was of course aware of what Jiang Mingzhu was talking about, which is why she made two preparations. Otherwise, there would have been many uncertainties in this matter.

She could only plan ahead for all possible scenarios to avoid any unforeseen problems that she wouldn't be able to address in time.

"Don't worry! If we can't find her, I've already made preparations. I've already found another woman. If we really can't find Jiang Jingyue, then we'll have someone else take her place."

Regardless of whether we find Jingjingyue or not, the final result will definitely be that we found her.

Although Jiang's mother didn't say it explicitly, Jiang Mingzhu still understood what she meant.

"Mother, you're so clever! You even came up with something like this. You truly deserve to be my mother."

Madam Jiang was forced into this situation; she was doing it all for her daughter.

It must be said that Madam Jiang did a very good job in terms of her daughter, but she was extremely ruthless in her treatment of others.

"Xiaozhu, remember this: this should only be done as a last resort. It is not allowed at other times."

As soon as Madam Jiang said this, Jiang Mingzhu impatiently interrupted her.

"Mom, I know about this. Please don't say anything more. You're so annoying! I have something to do, so I'm leaving now."

Seeing Jiang Mingzhu like this, Madam Jiang felt a little uncomfortable. Who was she working so hard for?

Unexpectedly, her daughter is truly ungrateful and takes all of this for granted.

"Where are you going? At this time, you shouldn't be running around outside all the time. You'd be better off taking the servants and going out to look for Jiang Jingyue."

You have more contact with her regularly, so your chances of finding her are higher.

If Madam Jiang hadn't told Jiang Mingzhu what happened next, she might have actually gone to look for her.

But now she knows that no matter whether Jiang Jingyue comes back or not, nothing will happen to her. So even if Jiang Jingyue can't be found, she'll be fine. Why should she make things difficult for herself?
