Yunzhi hadn't expected that Jiang would call her over to pressure her into marriage. To be honest, she didn't want to get married so soon.
After all, once you're married, you're someone else's wife, and you're never as comfortable and free as you are now.
However, she didn't voice her thoughts, but instead said with a smile, "Aunt, you've only been here a short time, why are you already thinking about going back? Why don't you just move to the capital and settle down here?"
"Don't give me that. We've settled in the capital, what will happen to the family business? Who will take care of your grandparents?" Jiang gently tapped Yunzhi's forehead, knowing exactly what she was thinking.
Honestly, if she could, she wouldn't want Yunzhi to get married so soon. But after all, this is her second marriage. Right now, the prince seems to care about her quite a bit, but who knows what will happen in the long run?
It would be better to take advantage of the prince's current affection for her and get married sooner rather than later. Otherwise, the longer this drags on, the more likely something unexpected will happen.
She didn't want a perfectly good marriage to be ruined in the end.
“That’s easy. Just move the business here and bring Grandpa and Grandma over.” Yunzhi said so casually that Jiang didn’t know what to say.
The Xu family has been in Jiangnan for so many years, with businesses all over the place; it's not something they can just move on a whim. Besides, the two elders are getting old; how could they withstand such a long journey?
Therefore, Jiang looked at Yunzhi and said earnestly, "Zhizhi, your aunt knows you've been through a bad marriage and don't want to rush into a second one. But from what we've observed recently, the Prince isn't like An Xiuyuan; he truly cares about you. As a woman, it's not easy to find a man who cares about you. Now that you've found him, don't let him go. Otherwise, you'll regret it."
“Your aunt knows you are capable, and she also knows that you will live a good life even if you don’t get married. But in this kind of environment, if you don’t get married, there will always be all sorts of rumors and gossip.”
Hearing Jiang's words, Yunzhi fell silent. If she were truly an orphan, if she were powerful and influential, no one would say anything even if she didn't get married.
But now, her identity is just the daughter of an ordinary official. Even if she has severed ties with the Yun family, she still has the Xu family.
She is not the only girl in the Xu family. If she doesn't get married, people will not only question the Xu family's upbringing, but also look down on the women of the Xu family.
Therefore, even if it weren't for her own sake, she had to get married.
Of course, if she really doesn't want to get married, there are ways; she could simply fake her death. But that would inevitably cause heartbreak and grief to her loved ones. Especially her grandparents, who are getting old and might not be able to recover from such a blow.
After a while, Yunzhi looked up at Jiang Shi and said, "Aunt, I understand what you mean, and I will consider this matter carefully."
"Alright, your aunt is just making a suggestion, so don't feel too guilty. If you really don't want to get married, then we'll think of another way. Even if you never marry, the Xu family can still support you."
"I know, Aunt." Yunzhi smiled. She knew the Xu family had been good to her. But it was precisely because they were good to her that she couldn't let them down or cause them any trouble.
Therefore, after returning to her own courtyard, Yunzhi locked herself in her study.
By the time Dongli Lu Cang received the news and rushed over, Yun Zhi had already been in the study for several hours.
