Hearing this, Liu, who had been silent, nodded and agreed, "This makes sense. Whether it is true or not, it won't hurt to ask Ranran."

"It's getting late today," Wei Heng paused, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Ran Ran has probably gone to bed, so let's wait until tomorrow..."

"No need to say more," Wei Ping waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "This is a serious matter. Just wake him up if he falls asleep. It won't be too late to go back to sleep after he gets his reply."

The head of the family spoke, and Liu immediately turned her head and told Aunt Wu who was fanning her, "Go and ask Miss Nine to come over. Tell her that the elder has something to ask her."

After the old servant left, Liu looked embarrassed. After a few breaths of hesitation, she finally said, "Today I arranged a date for Ranran. The man is the youngest son of the Yongchang Marquis's mansion, Qian's fourth son. If Your Highness is really interested in Ranran, wouldn't it be..."

"That's fine." It was his wife who had arranged this, so the Crown Prince Wei Huan was naturally aware of the matter. He said slowly, "You are Ran Ran's grandmother. It is human nature to find a good marriage for your granddaughter. As the saying goes, ignorance is not blame. Your Highness has always been magnanimous and will not blame me."

Under normal circumstances, the marriages of the girls in the family were arranged by the ladies in the inner house, but Wei Ping was unaware of this.

Upon learning of this, he frowned slightly, and nodded slowly after a long while, saying, "Yes, the Gu family broke the verbal engagement and came to cancel the engagement. Ranran is about to reach the age of marriage, so her marriage must be settled. Your Highness should understand this."

"It's good that Your Highness doesn't blame me." After being comforted by her husband and eldest son, Liu's face was slightly relaxed. She continued, "However... today, in order to ask the Qian family to take a good look at Ran Ran, I specially asked her to serve tea to the Qian family's ladies. There were quite a few people in the inner hall at that time... Now that I think about it, it was somewhat embarrassing for the girl's family. I don't know if Ran Ran will blame me in her heart."

Wei Heng had heard from Jiang a few days ago that his eldest sister-in-law was acting as a matchmaker for his daughter, so he was not surprised when Liu mentioned "seeing each other". But now he was stunned to hear that his daughter had served tea to several ladies of the Qian family in front of all the guests before the horoscope was even decided.

"It's not like a girl from the Wei family can't get married, so why are you so eager to get married? You're just lowering your status."

Wei Heng's face turned pale, and it was rare for him to be cold to his mother. He said angrily: "A daughter's face is so important. Ranran's marriage has already encountered setbacks. You are her grandmother, and it would be fine if you don't feel sorry for her, but you look down on her."

Her own family members look down on her. Even if she is eager to marry him, how much respect can she get?

Wei Heng is known for his elegance and calm temperament, so these words were extremely heavy for him.

The people in the inner room were stunned for a moment when they heard it.

"Who am I doing this for?"

Liu covered her chest, pointed at Wei Heng, and said angrily: "Do you think I don't want my granddaughter to marry in a dignified way? If your wife hadn't easily agreed to the Gu family's marriage, Ran Ran wouldn't have been known as a broken-off girl. With her appearance and character, which family in the capital wouldn't let her get married?"

"Now, the wedding has been postponed for more than half a month. The wedding date for the young master of the Gu family has been set, but no one is interested in Ran Ran. If it weren't for your sister-in-law acting as a matchmaker, do you think the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion would be willing to come and see her?"

"When the wife of the Changmen Marquis came to ask for the Gu family's opinion, Jiang specifically asked you what you thought. She only agreed when she saw you nodded. How can you blame her alone now?"

Wei Heng didn't want to argue with his mother, but at this moment he couldn't help but say, "How could there be no one interested in a girl from our Wei family? Ranran hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, why is it so urgent for her to get married? Does the family need her to make a living?"

"That's enough!" Wei Ping threw the teacup in his hand at his son and shouted, "Where did you learn the rules that taught you to disobey your mother like this?"

"Second brother, please stop talking." Wei Huan patted Liu's back to calm her down, and at the same time, he made a gesture to his brother, saying, "I have met Qian's fourth son several times. He is a man of words and deeds, and a relative who knows her well. Mother's original intention was for Ran Ran's own good, and she didn't want her to miss out on a good marriage."

Wei Heng was not an ungrateful person. He knew that the marriage with the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion was a good one. They were both located in the capital, and the two mansions were not far apart. They had been related for more than ten years, and their family backgrounds were similar. The other party was the youngest son of the Crown Prince. Everything was a perfect match.

Seeing his mother's pale face due to anger, Wei Heng felt a little guilty. After all, they were all worried about Ranran's marriage.

After a few breaths, he stood up and apologized.

Wei Ping took a sip of the tea that the servant had refilled, then lowered his head to look at his youngest son and said calmly, "I'm asking you, speaking in all fairness, if Your Highness has no interest in Ran Ran today, then the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion is her best destination, do you agree?"

Wei Heng was slightly startled by the question, and somehow he thought of the young Master Chen who held real power in the Dali Temple.

He had also discussed this with his wife in private, and both of them hoped that Prince Chen might send someone to propose marriage, but who knew...

With a long sigh in his heart, Wei Heng replied: "Judging from the lintel, it is indeed so."

Liu took a breath and sneered, "Just admit it. Even if you are a little humble, it doesn't matter. The Qian family is a family that values ​​rules. As long as Ranran enters the family, they will never do anything to torture their daughter-in-law for no reason."

She thought she had good intentions, but was met with resentment from her son, which made her extremely angry.

Wei Heng bowed deeply and said, "I am unfilial and don't understand your thoughts."

A grandmother who hopes that all the girls in her family will marry into wealthy families can't be considered wrong...even if she uses self-deprecating methods.

…………

Wei Hanzhang, who was awakened from his sleep, rode in a sedan chair under the moonlight and entered his grandfather Wei Ping's study for the first time.

As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that the atmosphere inside was a little tense. She paused slightly, then walked in naturally, kneeling and saluted to the elders one by one with grace and grace.

"But have you gone to bed?" Wei Ping nodded and glanced at his granddaughter's hastily tied hair, and said with a slightly relaxed expression: "I called you here at night because I have something to ask you. Answer me carefully and then go back to rest early."

When Wei Hanzhang was supported by Xiao Boqian, she had prepared herself mentally. She thought that since there was a banquet today, the elders of the Wei Mansion would not be free to question her until at least tomorrow.

I didn’t expect... to be so anxious.

As for how to deal with it, she had already made the decision on the way here.

Hearing this, she did not panic at all. She looked up with a look of bewilderment in her eyes and said, "As long as my granddaughter knows, I will tell you everything."

Wei Ping nodded in satisfaction and got straight to the point: "Have you ever met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before? Think carefully, have you ever met His Royal Highness during your time back in Beijing?"
