Chapter 258: Matchmaking

Pei Zhen lowered his eyes and dared not look at Madam Pei. Guilt flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "Yes, the eldest princess looks fine. She, she just cared about me and comforted me."

Madam Pei pulled the corner of her mouth, "Since you are injured, stay here first. You can leave later. I will let Arong come to call you." Pei Zhen

rolled his eyes and said, "No, I'm fine now, but I still have a headache. It won't affect you. If I stay here, everyone will not see me, and there will definitely be speculations and suspicions, which will cause misunderstandings."

"If you can really think so!"

Then there will be no current situation!

A concubine's daughter, followed her mother and sister to socialize, but she ran away alone and didn't know where! She even fell from the rockery and said it was an accident. This could only deceive the old lady and her blind husband!

Pei Zhen had been so thick-skinned that she could not say she had much respect for her stepmother, Madam Pei. In the past, it could be said that she did not take Madam Pei seriously at all.

It was only now that Madam Pei had established herself and had the support of Master Pei that she had a little more fear and respect for Madam Pei as a stepmother.

But now it was only in the Princess's Mansion. If it was in the Pei Mansion, with Pei Zhen's personality, she would not be so obedient and would have been talking back without knowing

her own limitations. If she wanted to follow, Madam Pei would not stop her. After saying hello to the maids in the Princess's Mansion, Madam Pei brought the two girls in the mansion and Xu Muhua back to the yard.

At this time, the courtyard was even more lively than when they left, because the eldest princess called the other young masters to come over and join in the fun!

Although there were strict rules for gender separation, it was a lively flower-viewing banquet with many people and in the public eye, so there was no need to be too strict with the rules. All the young masters and ladies were as excited as chickens, with shining eyes and shy faces, and the eldest princess' mood improved after seeing them.

Seeing Xu Muhua, the eldest princess waved to her the first time.

Xu Muhua paused and walked over helplessly.

Madam Pei hesitated for a moment, but unexpectedly Pei Zhen pretended to be stupid and followed! Madam

Pei was furious, and secretly scolded Pei Zhen in her heart for being as shameless as Aunt Zhao. She didn't even look at where she was. She thought this was the Pei residence. With the old lady backing her up, she was fearless. Don't bring trouble to them and their daughter even if you want to get yourself killed!

The princess just smiled at Madam Pei. She even ignored Pei Shaorong, not to mention Pei Zhen, the illegitimate child.

"Mu Hua, come here. Let me introduce you to my nephew. I raised him by myself. I'm not bragging. He's not that good, but he's definitely not bad! Especially in terms of character, he's a good person!"

The princess really had nothing to say about Ling Hongge. She raised him by herself and cared about him more than her biological mother.

Ling Hongge's handsome face blushed as he stood aside.

It was really embarrassing to be praised by my aunt in front of so many people! And wouldn't it cause misunderstanding if my aunt said that? What would everyone think? Wouldn't it have a bad impact on Miss Xu?

Ling Hongge was a little worried, but it was not good to say anything that would go against the princess's intentions at this time.

He had to bow slightly to Xu Muhua, "Hello, Miss Xu."

Xu Muhua returned the greeting, "Hello, Master Ling."

The princess looked at this one and that one, and she didn't hide the satisfied smile on her face at all!

When others saw this, they had mixed feelings in their hearts!

Some were envious, some were jealous, some were worried, some were disdainful, and some were waiting to see a joke.

Xu Muhua also secretly complained in her heart.

Seeing the eldest princess like this, I'm afraid she really wants to match her with this Mr. Ling!

But she can't refuse clearly. She can't afford to offend the eldest princess!

Now she can only wait and see.

Pei Zhen's eyes turned red as he watched from the side, staring at Xu Muhua fiercely.

This bastard! How dare he steal her things!

Pei Shaorong thought that if the eldest princess really liked Muhua and wanted her nephew to marry Muhua, she thought it was not bad.

Although Mr. Ling was not born to the eldest princess, he was raised by the eldest princess, and it is very likely that he will not return to the Ling Mansion to live in the future.

Then the eldest princess is likely to become Muhua's mother-in-law. With the eldest princess's temperament and her love for Muhua, it should not be the case that the mother-in-law will make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

Pei Shaorong is still thinking very simply now, not overly complicated or far-sighted.

Madam Pei is different.

She thinks that with the emperor's attitude towards the Chengguo Mansion, it would be difficult for the eldest princess to let her nephew marry Mu Hua. If she insists, the emperor might choose another way that would be the best of both worlds for him. She looked

at the wife of the Chengguo Duke, and seeing that there seemed to be a trace of worry in her eyes, she calmed down.

I believe that the wife of the Chengguo Duke will think about this matter seriously after returning home. The

eldest princess does have this intention, but she won't do it too obviously at this time.

After all, there is no matchmaker or engagement, and it would be too much. It would be detrimental to the woman's reputation, which was not her original intention.

She knew that many people had guessed her intention of returning to Beijing this time, and she really wanted to find a suitable wife for Hong'er. But unlike what most people think, she doesn't want to find a woman of noble status.

Family background is precisely the last condition she considers.

She thinks that being suitable for Hong'er is the most important. Even if he marries a wife of humble status, as long as she is with him, he won't have to worry about his future.

As for when she is gone in the future - haha, he hasn't been able to achieve anything in such a long time, proving that he is really a waste, so forget it, let him fend for himself.

The eldest princess would think so because she is very confident that Ling Hongge is definitely not such a person.

She raised and educated him, and she has confidence in herself!

And now, as long as she can choose a good wife for him, she will be worthy of the prince consort.

At present, Xu Muhua is indeed her favorite candidate. It may also be related to what happened in Caiyi Shop that day, and she has a preconceived idea. After meeting him today, she found Xu Muhua very pleasing to her.

But she would not make a decision so quickly and would observe further.

The princess decided that in the next few days, she would ask Xu Muhua to come to the princess's mansion from time to time to talk with her so that she could observe carefully. At the same time, she also gave Hong'er a chance to let him get in touch with Muhua more.

Look at this child, this shy look is really rare!

The princess had the heart of an old mother, and she couldn't stop smiling.
