Why did the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion not choose Wei Hanshuang from the eldest house, but instead choose Wei Hanyue from the second house to compete? The reason was that Wei Hanyue was extremely beautiful, and before Wei Hanzhang came back, she was the most outstanding girl of this generation in the mansion.

The fifth young lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery became famous in the capital for her beauty. Before Wei Hanyue got into trouble, she was the only candidate who could compete with the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo for the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital.

Wei Hanzhang grew up in Xuzhou and didn't know much about the aristocratic families in the capital, let alone the crown prince. She asked, "Have you decided on the crown princess now?"

"No." Jiang's eyes showed satisfaction: "Those people are fighting each other privately, trying to fight for the future position of the empress, but the prince doesn't want to marry, and even His Majesty can't do anything about it."

There are still girls of marriageable age in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, but they are far from the position of Crown Princess. In this case, it is best for others not to take the position.

Wei Hanzhang was a little stunned after listening to this. She never expected that the current crown prince would be such a wonderful person. As the future emperor, he didn't want to "sacrifice for the country" and have many offspring, but he didn't even want one.

There really is a throne to be inherited. No wonder the sick emperor is so anxious.

Is there any hidden illness? Wei Hanzhang only thought about this question in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask Jiang...

Look at how Jiang praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again and again, saying that only after seeing His Royal Highness can one know what it means to be a true fairy, a gentleman, and to be pure in mind and conduct...

He praised the prince to the heavens and the earth, making him seem like a fan of the prince.

Wei Hanzhang was really curious about what kind of person this prince was that could make a noble lady like Jiang praise him so much.

However, she did not quite agree with Jiang's description of the prince as being 'out of touch with worldly affairs'.

You must know that Your Majesty has not ruled the country for seven years, and those sentences of confiscation of property and exile were all ordered by the Crown Prince himself.

Wei Hanzhang only knew about the Cao family, the Liu family, and the Li family in Xuzhou. With a stroke of the red pen, the serious case was the loss of the head, and the minor case was exile 3,000 miles away. As for the female relatives...

Thinking of Cao Xinrou, Wei Hanzhang felt a little depressed. She knew that the Cao family had committed a serious crime. Cao Xinrou had been raised in the Cao family with luxurious clothes and food. It was only natural that she would be implicated when the Cao family got into trouble. But after all, they were childhood friends...

As sisters who grew up together, how could we not have compassion?

I don’t know where she is now, and whether we will ever meet again in this life.

…………

After resting for a while, the mother and daughter walked to the main courtyard of the marquis's mansion together.

Aunt Qian had already been inside with Madam Liu, the Marquis' wife. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be getting along very well. There were three bright young girls sitting below them.

They were the three sisters Wei Hanshuang, Wei Hanyu and Wei Hansu.

Seeing Jiang's mother and daughter coming, Liu first waved to Wei Hanzhang, then looked at her second daughter-in-law and said with satisfaction: "You look much better today."

Jiang bowed deeply and said, "My daughter-in-law is unfilial and makes me worry."

"It's okay for me to worry a little." Liu held Wei Hanzhang's hand and patted it gently. "As long as you can figure it out, it's better than anything else. Pei'er hasn't married yet, and Ranran hasn't married yet. If you fall down, they won't have you as their mother to take care of them. Can you rest assured?"

There was also a person named Wei Hanyue who lived in the ancestral temple. Liu didn't mention her, but no one in the room had forgotten her.

Jiang knew that her mother-in-law's words were sincere comfort to her, so she responded softly and said no more.

Seeing that she was learning, Liu turned her attention to her granddaughter beside her and couldn't help but praise her, "Little girls should wear more fresh colors. Look at our Ranran, she is really like a person in a painting."

"It doesn't matter if our girl is a little spoiled," said the eldest aunt Qian, smiling, "Ran Ran has just returned home, who would be willing to criticize her if she is not spoiled?"

"..." Jiang was speechless. She couldn't bear to lecture her daughter.

Qian saw her motherly love and said with a smile: "She is already a girl who will soon reach the age of marriage. She will not be spoiled for a few more years before she is betrothed to someone else..."

Wei Hanzhang himself didn't feel anything when his marriage was mentioned vaguely, but Wei Hanshuang and others who were sitting below him blushed with embarrassment.

"Girls are so thin-skinned, sister-in-law is really something." Jiang pretended to scold her and sent the sisters out: "Don't sit here with me, go out and play."

As soon as Wei Hanzhang and a few sisters went out, Wei Hanshuang held their hands. She smiled and said, "I knew I had a sister who grew up in Jiangnan. I never thought she was a fairy."

"..." Wei Hanzhang was choked by the straightforward words, "Sixth sister, please stop teasing me."

Perhaps because of her mother's instructions, Wei Hanshuang was very considerate and accompanied Wei Hanzhang to tour the garden hand in hand. On the contrary, Wei Hanyu, the daughter of a concubine's son, and Wei Hansu, the daughter of the second concubine, said nothing. They looked gentle and docile, and just followed behind, interjecting a word from time to time.

Wei Hanshuang is the eldest daughter of the Crown Prince, and her words and deeds are a model of a noble lady. Wei Hanzhang originally thought that she would be uncomfortable getting along with such a sister, after all, she hated being constrained the most. However, she never expected that after chatting for a few words, the two sisters hit it off immediately.

They are cousins ​​who really want to get close to each other. After a few days, they have become close enough to sleep on the same bed.

Knowing that Wei Hanzhang had a childhood sweetheart in Xuzhou, Wei Hanshuang asked carefully and confirmed that the Gu family would come to propose marriage soon. Wei Hanshuang smiled and said, "Ranran is so lucky to marry the person she loves."

Wei Hanzhang smiled bitterly when she heard this. Good luck? If it wasn't the person she liked, she could do what Jiang said and treat her husband with respect, grow old together, and be a generous and virtuous mistress of the house.

But how can someone who truly cares be generous?

Wei Hanshuang's marriage has also been arranged. She is the second son of the Yongle Marquis. The six ceremonies have been arranged and they can get married after the other party chooses a good date.

Wei Hanzhang turned around and looked at the beautiful face of his cousin, and asked curiously, "Sixth sister, have you ever seen your future husband?"

"Of course I have," Wei Hanshuang said softly, "This dynasty does not advocate blind marriages. Since we started talking about marriage, he has often invited me out for outings."

"Then..." Thinking of what she just said, Wei Hanzhang said, "But what is sister dissatisfied with him?"

"No, it's my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Since I'm a daughter of the Wei family, my marriage should be arranged by my family."

Wei Hanshuang smiled and said, "Our marriage is a union of the Wei and Shen families. He dare not neglect me, and I only need his respect."

All right…

It made a lot of sense, so much so that Wei Hanzhang began to suspect that he was the one who was wrong.

Since you are from a high-ranking family and enjoy the glory and wealth brought by your family, you must be prepared to maintain this glory.

This is responsibility. There is no such thing as mutual love.

Come to think of it, she did seem to be quite lucky. At least Gu Yunran treated her sincerely, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he listened to her every word.

Maybe, she should be content? (End of this chapter)
