Qingshuiyuan.
The eldest lady continued to ask, "You went to the Ding'an Marquis's Mansion the other day, but did you see the young marquis?"
Wanruo nodded: "I met him once."
"What do you think?"
Wanruo concentrated and recalled that she had just seen him from a distance before the banquet. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was playing pitching pots with another young man. During the game, they suddenly started fighting. He said that the other person was cheating, and the other person said that he could not afford to lose.
The scene was a bit chaotic at the time. She only remembered that the young marquis finally won the fight, and then was scolded by the old lady of the marquis's mansion and told to go back and reflect on his mistakes.
Wan Ruo said, "She's quite lively."
The eldest lady frowned slightly when she saw her say this.
"Why did the mother-in-law ask about him?"
"Xiuzhu will soon be of marriageable age, and it's time to arrange her marriage. The master prefers Ding'an Marquis' Mansion."
As the eldest lady spoke, there was some sadness in her eyes. She had also heard of the reputation of the young marquis. He was a well-known playboy in the capital, who was arrogant and domineering.
Marquis Ding'an was in charge of a hundred thousand soldiers, guarding the frontier. He was a brave general with a loyal heart. Naturally, the Marquis Ding'an's mansion was famous.
But she gave birth to such a son.
But the eldest master only cares about the interests of the family and must marry into a wealthy family. He can't control Xie Xianyu's marriage, so how can he not control Xie Xiuzhu's?
After much deliberation, the Ding'an Marquisate was the most suitable. The young marquis was the only son of the Ding'an Marquis, so if they wanted to form an alliance, he had to be the one.
Wanruo was stunned. If these two were married, wouldn't they fight every day?
"Xiuzhu's temper," the eldest lady rubbed her forehead, "I'm really worried. I originally wanted to find her a husband who was mature and stable, and who would tolerate her, regardless of family background."
"Even a mature and stable person might not be truly tolerant. If someone has bad intentions, is full of thoughts and calculations, and Xiuzhu is simple, she might be easily manipulated and taken advantage of. I think that young marquis, although a bit willful, is also quite frank. Mother-in-law might want to observe him a little more."
The eldest lady nodded when she heard this: "You have a point."
"But..." The eldest lady suddenly glanced at her. Who did she just say had a bad heart?
Suddenly, a little maid came in hurriedly: "Madam, someone came from Songhe Garden and said that the eldest son asked the young lady to go back because of an urgent matter."
The eldest lady waved her hand: "That's enough, you go back first."
"yes."
When Wanruo walked out of Qingshui Garden, she saw Qing'an waiting anxiously outside.
"Young Madam!"
Wanruo's heart skipped a beat when she saw him like this, and she asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"Young Madam, please go back quickly. The young master is in a bad mood!"
Wanruo hurried back to Songhe Garden. When she arrived outside the study, she saw a group of servants standing outside in the yard with their heads hung in fear. In the yard, there was also a girl kneeling.
It’s Zhao Yuaner.
"Young Madam!" Zhao Yuaner cried like a tearful person, asking her for help.
Wanruo's eyes paused slightly, vaguely guessing something, and hurried into the study.
Xie Xianyu was the only one in the study. He sat on the armchair behind the desk with a gloomy face. The atmosphere in the room was oppressive and more terrifying than a demon.
Wanruo shuddered all over, and suddenly thought that it would be better to let her kneel outside as well.
"What's wrong?" she asked calmly.
"What's wrong?" His voice was cold, without any fluctuation.
She swallowed hard, "Is it Zhao Yuan'er? I brought her back to settle her down, but I was in a hurry to report to the Madam and forgot to tell her not to run around."
