Chapter 50: The marriage with the Wang family is cancelled

What to practice?

Do I have to train my physical strength for these things in bed? Forget it.

Yun Qiao also stood up quickly and walked over to Chen Jingyan, wanting to help him change into the official uniform he would wear to enter the palace. However, this official uniform was too complicated and Yun Qiao was not very good at it. But Chen Jingyan insisted that she do it...

In the end, Yun Qiao was nervous and flustered, and under Chunhua's guidance, she reluctantly helped Chen Jingyan put on his clothes.

It was not easy for her to put on the belt by herself, and she almost made a fool of herself.

She was originally here to help the Marquis get dressed, but it looked like she was just throwing herself into his arms.

After Chen Jingyan left, Yun Qiao felt relieved.

She was really tired after this New Year's Day.

In the afternoon, people from Xiaoxiangyuan also came to greet Yunqiao and wish him a happy new year. Yunqiao asked Xiaotao to give red envelopes to them one by one.

From the first day to the sixth day of the New Year, the entire mansion was relaxed and comfortable.

Yun Qiao was too lazy to go out. After all, Chen Jingyan came to her every night in the past few days. As long as Chen Jingyan came, the contraceptive medicine would be delivered on time. Only when she saw the contraceptive medicine would Yun Qiao's slightly hot heart cool down instantly.

This is also good. The contraceptive medicine always reminds her that she is just a concubine...

Since the beginning of the year, there has been a constant stream of people bringing gifts to the Marquis' Mansion.

However, the Marquis' Mansion does not accept gifts from everyone, but even so, there are still many people who give gifts.

Before the New Year, people are busy with gifts from their own industries. After the New Year, they are busy with interpersonal relationships with relatives and friends.

Although Chen Jingyan didn't care about these things, when he was in the Marquis' Mansion, the old lady would still call him over to ask about these personal relationships.

"...Why is it that this eldest daughter of the Wang family is not pleasing to you? If you don't explain it to me clearly, how can I explain it to the Wang family?"

The old lady was so worried when she saw her grandson sitting in a chair drinking tea.

"Your Majesty is now suspicious of my rebellious intentions. Although the Wang family may not be powerful, they are still a noble family. They are also a wealthy family in Kyoto. If I marry Wang Yanran, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be even more suspicious of my ulterior motives..."

"To think that this is true..." The old lady was surprised, and her anger dissipated a lot. "According to what you said, our marriage with the Wang family really can't be completed."

It's just a pity for such a good girl like Wang Yanran.

"Grandmother, my grandson, with his current status, absolutely cannot marry a woman of higher status. Character is paramount. She must be gentle, virtuous, and tolerant."

He was thinking that Yun Qiao was enjoying his affections now, and that she had a cold and would not be able to bear children in the future.

But no matter what, she was his first woman after all. He was thinking of their old love and wanted to keep an identity for her.

If he married a jealous and domineering wife, how could he tolerate Yun Qiao?

The old lady was not satisfied.

In her eyes, the most outstanding son of the Chen family is this grandson.

Her only son was a complete love-brained person. He married the younger sister of his teacher's family with whom he grew up, and after marriage, he had a son, Chen Jingyan.

The old lady wanted her son to take two concubines in order to have more children and grandchildren, so that the Chen family could have more descendants. However, her son was a love-brained person and only wanted to marry one in his life.

Fortunately, I have my grandson with me.

There is no so-called childhood sweetheart who has influenced him. This grandson is developing in the direction that he is satisfied with. The old lady is extremely pleased and proud of this.

"Since His Majesty has made such a guess, we dare not be too careless. Grandmother will take good care of the selection of Sanlang's future wife for you."

Chen Jingyan nodded slightly, and then continued: "Although my grandson is not young anymore and is indeed at the age to get married, I am afraid that if I choose a wife at this time, I will not be able to choose one with a good family background and status. It is better to put it on hold and wait for a year or so before making a decision."

The old lady knew clearly what Chen Jingyan meant by this.

There is suspicion of refusing the marriage.

But it is something he should think about. After all, the emperor is now suspicious of the Marquis and is worried that Chen Jingyan will marry another girl from a wealthy family to strengthen the power of the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion.

They were afraid that Chen Jingyan would become too powerful and develop other ambitions.

But how could the old lady be willing if she let her grandson marry an ordinary woman casually?

As for the Marquis's marriage, it will be delayed for a while.

But if we wait until the Marquis returns to Kyoto to take up his post, will it be too late? The old lady is now struggling with this.

But the best plan at the moment is to not discuss marriage with the Wang family for the time being.

But the old lady had hinted before that she wanted to marry a girl from the Wang family. Now it is certain that she cannot marry into the Wang family. How should she say this?

The old lady was worried for two days, and then she called Mama Chang to come over.

Explain it to her again and again.

"Just do as I say. If Miss Wang is willing, she will become your adopted sister. If not, our mansion will prepare a generous gift to comfort Miss Wang..."

Mother Chang said, "Yes, I will definitely do what the old lady says."

After Mother Chang finished speaking, the old lady sighed.

Madam Chang came over and comforted her, saying, "Old Madam, it might not be a bad thing to sever the relationship with the Wang family now. When the daughter of the Wang family lived in our mansion, she should have taken the peaches back home for her parents to eat..."

The old lady didn't realize she was doing anything wrong.

"That's the Wang family girl being filial to her elders."

Mother Chang said, "If it was just one time, we would believe it was filial piety. But when the eldest daughter of the Wang family lived in the Marquis' Mansion, whenever she ate something delicious, she would ask the kitchen to prepare a portion and send it to the Wang family."

It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too many times, something will seem wrong.

Before even entering the Marquis's Mansion, she was already thinking about moving the mansion's belongings to her mother's home.

If I really become the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei in the future, and the Marquis of Zhenbei has more precious things that other families don’t have, do I have to move all of them to the Wang family?

Hearing what Chang Mama said, the old lady frowned.

"I originally thought that she was filial to her parents, but I didn't expect that she would do this in private..."

Madam Chang said, "Old Madam, you never worry about these trivial matters. Although you don't mind the things in the kitchen and the food and drink, the behavior of Miss Wang is indeed inappropriate. I didn't dare to say anything before, but now I say it, please calm down and don't punish me..."

Seeing that the old lady was fond of Wang Yanran, Mama Chang didn't dare to say anything.

Especially this old ancestor, he has always been free to follow his own will. From childhood to old age, he has never suffered any hardship and is very generous to others.

If it weren't for this opportunity, Mother Chang would definitely not dare to say anything bad about the girl she liked in front of the old lady.

The old lady couldn't help but sigh and said, "I am old after all. I only care about the people around me being happy, and I am happy too. But I don't know that everyone is also thinking about me."

"Then let's forget about the Wang family's marriage. As I said before, send a generous gift and acknowledge Wang Yanran as your sister. If she doesn't want to, there's no need to discuss anything else."
