Ying Nianrong walked forward with her head lowered, feeling embarrassed.
Just now, the maid of the eldest lady of the Duke of Ying's Mansion found her and reminded her to be careful with her words and actions. If there was nothing wrong, she should follow the maid back to the mansion early, where the carriage was waiting.
She sent the maid away with a sullen face. Before the banquet was over, the eldest lady asked her to wait outside.
This was undoubtedly a disgrace to her, and she had to go back and cry to the old lady.
But she also knew in her heart that after today, she didn't know what people would say about her, and her marriage might become even more difficult.
She heard Jing Jing'er calling her from behind, but she didn't want to look back. If Jing Jing'er hadn't come looking for her, she wouldn't have lost this person.
So she quickened her pace.
Jing Jing'er also quickened her pace, forcibly held her arm and patiently comforted her, saying that if Dan could win today it was all luck.
Ying Nianrong was also starting to feel the effects of the wine at this time.
He hugged Jing Jing'er and cried out for justice. Jing Jing'er seemed to be tripped and pushed towards Ying Nianrong, pushing her to the edge of the lake.
Ying Nianrong felt like there was something under her feet, and then she fell sideways into the lake.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in Jing Shengwen's arms, soaking wet.
Jing Jing'er sobbed beside her:
"Sister Nianrong, I just saw you staggering and falling into the lake because you were drunk. I was so scared that I shouted a few times. My brother thought it was me who fell into the water, so he jumped in to save you without even seeing clearly."
Ying Nianrong realized the current situation. Jing Jing'er's brother Jing Shengwen was a bastard of the Marquis's Mansion.
But Jing Ruchen was now seriously injured, and as a bastard, he was more valuable than other bastards. After she figured it out, she blushed and bowed to Jing Shengwen to thank him for saving her life.
Now she could only hold on to Jing Shengwen, which was much better than the other marriages chosen for her by the eldest lady.
The eldest wife of Duke Ying had a dark face and pulled Ran aside to inquire.
When he learned that Jing Shengwen had a fiancée, the sixth daughter of the Yongchang Earl's family, he immediately felt a headache and said that he had to go back and report to the old lady before making a decision.
Ran also returned home to discuss this matter with Marquis Jing'en.
After all, Jing Shengwen's marriage was a good marriage arranged for him ten years ago by Marquis Jing'en, who was afraid that as his mother, he would manipulate his illegitimate son's marriage as a revenge.
However, at that time, the Earl of Yongchang was very favored by the emperor, and it was considered a great honor for the concubine's son of the Marquis of Jingshengwen to marry his legitimate daughter.
However, in recent years, the Earl of Yongchang has been disliked by the emperor because of something he did wrong.
Moreover, none of the younger generation can make any progress, and the eldest son of the Earl of Yongchang is the worst of the playboys.
So she guessed that Aunt Sun was not satisfied with the marriage at the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, otherwise she would not have arranged for Jing Jing'er to get close to Ying Nianrong.
But Ying Nianrong's status as an adopted daughter of a noble family is not very high. Since she is going to plot against him, why not make it higher? I don't know what Aunt Sun thinks.
I guess Aunt Sun just wants to snatch the one she likes.
Marquis Jing'en was also asking Aunt Sun this question, because Aunt Sun said she wanted to cancel her marriage with the sixth daughter of the Earl of Yongchang and marry the adopted daughter of the Duke of Ying instead.
He didn't know what Aunt Sun was thinking. She could clearly make the sixth daughter of the Earl of Yongchang the principal wife and the adopted daughter of the Duke of Ying the concubine. After all, the Earl of Yongchang was of the legitimate bloodline.
The most important thing is that this was a marriage he asked for from his good brother.
Aunt Sun said that this would bring shame to the Yingguo Mansion, and marrying both of them would only bring chaos to the family, and the unrest in the family would affect Jing Shengwen.
In fact, they were afraid that if Ying Nianrong became a concubine, the Yingguo Mansion would not fully support Jing Shengwen.
After all, the fact that Ran was able to ask for Ying Nianrong to marry Jing Ruchen must mean that Ying Nianrong held an important position in the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
Besides, she snatched away the daughter-in-law that Ran had set her eyes on, and Ran might be feeling so upset that she wanted to cry.
Anyway, the Earl of Yongchang has fallen on hard times, so why should the Sixth Miss still occupy the position of the principal wife?
Seeing that Aunt Sun insisted, Marquis Jing'en asked Jing Shengwen for his opinion. After getting his opinion, Marquis Jing'en had no choice but to cancel the marriage with Earl Yongchang.
Then he asked Ran to follow him to ask Ying Nianrong to marry Jing Shengwen.
Ran used the excuse of being sick to avoid going with him, but in fact she had just learned that her son had fully recovered.
Moreover, the relationship between my son and Danruo also warmed up because of this incident. The look in my son's eyes when he looked at Danruo seemed as if he had finally realized his feelings.
My son and his wife live in harmony, and we will have grandchildren in the future.
She was afraid that if she laughed too happily, that bitch Aunt Sun would notice.
Aunt Sun thought that Ran was sad because her promising daughter-in-law was taken away from her, and was unwilling to personally go and find this daughter-in-law for herself.
Marquis Jing'en originally wanted to wait until Ran recovered from her illness before going together, because at least with the help of a mistress, things would be better. However, Aunt Sun urged him on, and it had been four days since the incident. He was afraid that if he didn't go to the Duke of Ying's Mansion and wait there, he would get impatient.
Ran is really lucky. She has been able to dodge so many times, and her yard is well-guarded like an iron barrel.
If I could be promoted to mistress, I would naturally be able to find a bride for her son.
Ying Nianrong was indeed getting anxious waiting at home, especially after hearing the maid's analysis that she might become a concubine.
She tried her best to be nice and charming in front of the old lady, but she didn't give in.
It was not until she found out from the old servant how Miss Rong originally dressed and tried to dress up in a similar way that the old lady changed her mind and decided to make the decision for her.
It just so happened that Marquis Jing'en also came to propose marriage at this time. Although it was of no use, it made the old lady love her even more, and it was not in vain that the money she had spent on inquiries was spent.
Here, Ran has calculated the date for Jing Ruchen's wedding, which is April 8th.
Aunt Sun has also calculated the date for Jing Shengwen's wedding, April 15th.
Just a few days later, Marquis Jing'en ordered them to be merged together.
Ran didn't want to hold it on April 15th.
Aunt Sun didn't want to do it on April 8th.
They all said that it was a good day they had calculated, so Marquis Jing'en had no choice but to give up and let everyone get married on their own.
There is still more than a month left, and with two weddings to be held, the Marquis of Jing'en's Mansion is in full swing of preparations.
