"Yesterday your mother said she wanted to come to the ceremony, but I noticed she'd lost some weight recently and was tired from the mountain road, so I politely declined. It would take you half a day to ride, so there's no need to go through so much trouble."
Jiang Lun smiled slightly upon hearing this and explained, "Aunt, you may not know, but my mother has been so busy at home lately that I want to help, but she won't let me. I have nothing else to do, so I decided to come with you today to take Fourth Sister home."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room smiled knowingly, obviously guessing that Jiang family's second wife, Qiao, was busy preparing the three letters and six ceremonies required for proposing marriage.
Hong Yingrong looked at Jiang Lun in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.
He has always had feelings for Xue Huichun, and now seeing him being so polite yet expressing his true feelings, he feels that he is a person worthy of trust.

"Mother Han, why are you so flustered?" Aunt Zhao couldn't help but ask, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.
As soon as everyone stepped into the door, Mother Han blurted out: "Old Madam, great news! There is a big happy event in our Marquis' Mansion!" Her voice was excited and trembling, as if this news was also a huge surprise to her.
Just as everyone was puzzled, Jiang Shuxiu's personal maid Rui'er hurried out with a doctor carrying a medicine box.
As soon as the doctor saw Hong Yingrong, he immediately bowed and greeted her with a joyful smile on his face.
"Congratulations to the old lady!"
