Liu couldn't find any words to refute, nor could she demand the dowry forcefully, so she just endured it.
She couldn't cure her, but there were others who could. When her second brother came back and her mother-in-law said a few words, Yu Shulan still obediently handed the key to her.
She will endure it for a while, after all, she has more important things to do today.
Remembering that she had other purposes, she agreed.
"In that case, let's follow what my sister-in-law wants."
"Thank you for your understanding, sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, you're almost out of confinement, and I need your help with something."
After being so angry just now, Liu was still able to speak nice words calmly, which made people sigh at her shamelessness.
Yu Shulan didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile.
This made Liu a little confused. What was wrong with her? In the past, whenever she had something to ask, she would immediately agree to it as long as she asked. Why was she so passive now?
But Liu continued, "It's not a big deal. It's just that Lang'er has fallen in love with a girl, and my sister-in-law wants you to go and talk to her."
This is not a big deal. Yu Shulan has the highest status in the entire Jiang family, so it is reasonable to ask her to act as a matchmaker.
"I wonder whose girl she is?"
"She's the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Ye Rong'er."
The Minister of Personnel was a good match for him. When Yu Shulan was considering whether to agree or not, she heard Jiang Qingwan speaking anxiously.
[No, Ye Rong'er is Big Brother's sweetheart. We can't let her marry Jiang Yilang, otherwise Big Brother's life will be ruined.]
Yu Shulan frowned. She didn't even know that her eldest son had a lover.
[In her previous life, it was her mother who arranged the marriage, and Ye Rong'er mistakenly thought she was marrying her eldest brother, so she agreed. By the time she realized her mistake, it was too late.]
Jiang Yilang was a hypocrite. After they got married, he beat and scolded Ye Ronger. My eldest brother couldn't stand it anymore and defended her several times, but he falsely accused them of having an affair. To prove their innocence, Ye Ronger jumped into the river and my eldest brother also hanged himself.
[But that bad reputation was branded on my brother, and it will never be erased.]
It is really sad that such a kind and clear elder brother died in such a humiliating way.
No one can bear the fact that his beloved has become his sister-in-law and he has to watch her being beaten by his husband for no reason.
But no matter how difficult it was for the two of them, they never did anything that crossed the line. It was Jiang Yilang who was narrow-minded, self-deprecating, and vicious.
Yu Shulan's heart trembled violently. Her eldest son had suffered such a suffering, and it was indirectly caused by her.
"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law...what's wrong with you?"
Seeing her deep in thought and silent, Liu became a little impatient. What was wrong with Yu Shulan? Why wasn't she as easy to manipulate as before?
"It's just a small matter. My sister-in-law shouldn't disagree, right?"
"Let's talk about it after I'm out of confinement. I heard that the Minister of Personnel is not an easy person to get along with, and his daughter should be carefully observed."
"As long as Yilang likes it."
Liu pretended to be understanding and said that in fact, she had already done some research and found out that Ye Ronger was pretty and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
More importantly, the Minister of Personnel has only one daughter, Ye Ronger. From now on, everything in the Ye family will belong to Ye Ronger, so there is no need to worry that Minister Ye will not help his only son-in-law.
Also, for Jiang Yilang, a man of white clothes, it is rare for him to marry someone of Ye Ronger's status. Why would she be dissatisfied?
Yu Shulan did not agree immediately as she did in her previous life, but just declined vaguely.
She still had to ask her eldest son first. If it was really as Jiang Qingwan said, she would not harm her son no matter what she said.
After sending Liu away, she called her eldest son to question him.
Jiang Chuyuan was embarrassed to admit it at first. After all, he and Ye Ronger had only met twice, and he didn't know what she meant.
Saying so openly that he has feelings for a girl might ruin her reputation.
But when he heard that Jiang Yilang also wanted to marry Ye Ronger, he immediately lost his patience.
"No, Jiang Yilang is not a good man. Miss Ye cannot marry him."
No one knows better than him what kind of person his elder brother is.
He is incompetent, lustful and irresponsible. How can he be worthy of such a good person?
"Even if mother doesn't go to arrange a marriage for him, your aunt will find someone else. You should tell us what you think so that we can make plans early."
"Yes, big brother, if you don't hurry up, your sister-in-law will be snatched away by someone else, and you'll end up marrying an ugly tigress."
Want to marry a tigress? Jiang Chuyuan frowned. He thought he hadn't married yet.
[Alas, thinking about it, that tigress should be coming to the mansion in half a year. She fell in love with my eldest brother at first sight. In order to get him married, she even drugged him, and finally forced him to marry her.]
[My eldest brother eventually committed suicide. Besides being hurt by the rumors, he was also forced into it by that woman.]
Hearing this, Jiang Chuyuan shuddered and no longer hesitated.
Jiang Chuyuan glanced at his mother and finally nodded, "My son is interested in Miss Ye, but I don't know what she means."
He didn't want to force the marriage. If Ye Ronger was interested in him, he would propose without hesitation. If not, he would bless her.
[Ye Rong'er also has deep feelings for her eldest brother, but fate has played tricks on her. I hope they won't miss each other again in this life.]
"Then when Wanwan's full moon comes, write a message to invite Madam Ye and Miss Ye over, and then let Qingluo find an opportunity to test it out."
The two are of similar age, so talking about this topic together would not arouse suspicion.
"It's all up to my mother."
Jiang Chuyuan nodded. He was also a little anxious, afraid that Ye Ronger would really marry someone else.
Here, Jiang Qingluo was packing up all his gold and silver jewelry and carefully selecting something.
When Jiang Zhaoyue arrived, she saw the yard full of jewelry, and her eyes dimmed.
In order to cultivate Jiang Qingluo's heroic and unrestrained character, her mother gave her a lot of gold jewelry. After she really fell in love with it, Yu Shulan and the Yu family also gave her a lot of jewelry to please her.
After all this time, she had no idea that she had accumulated so many pieces of jewelry. Although these items were gaudy and crude and not suitable for wearing, they were all very valuable.
She thought to herself that she would definitely ask her to give her a few pairs later. She could exchange them for silver and buy the latest headwear.
Thinking of this, the smile on her lips couldn't help but widen.
"Sister, how did you find all these jewelry?"
Jiang Qingluo glanced at her and replied calmly, "My sister is almost one month old, and I want to give her something, but I can't find anything suitable after searching so hard."
Seeing that she was going to give it to Jiang Qingwan, the smile on Jiang Zhaoyue's face faded a little, and she asked tentatively.
"Qingluo, you seem to like this sister very much."
