This was the first time she felt such deep regret. She thought that if anything had really happened to her daughter, she would be the culprit. Thankfully, her daughter returned safely.
“Mother, only now do I realize that some things cannot be forced. This is true for me, and it is also true for my sister.” After saying this, Wan Ge left.
When he returned to his residence, he asked the maid who had always been by his side but had not gone to Jiangnan with him.
"Where is Grandmother?" Wan Ge was puzzled when she returned home and did not see her grandmother.
"Three days ago, the old lady said she wanted to go up the mountain to pray for Miss, but she didn't want Miss to know, so she went quietly."
The old lady said that she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for her daughter to marry Prince Duan. She wanted to go up the mountain to pray for her and wish him a good future.
But if the young lady knew that she had traveled a long way just to pray for her, she would feel guilty, so they told them not to tell the young lady.
Upon hearing this, Wan Ge laughed, but as she laughed, tears streamed down her face again. So that's how it is, so that's how it is.
She wondered why her parents were so bold as to do such a thing. It turned out that her grandmother had gone to the mountain to pray for blessings, and that her grandmother was not around.
Presumably, if it weren't for their grandmother saying she was going to pray for blessings, they would have found an excuse to send her away. With the wedding date approaching, as long as they could get rid of her, their plan would basically be completed.
But... weren't those bandits brought by my father and mother? Was it just an accident?
…
The next day, Wan Ge found out the answer.
Because the next morning, Wan Ge woke up to the noise.
His personal maidservant said anxiously, "Miss, please get up quickly. The young Duke invites you to the main hall."
"Okay." Wan Ge quickly got up to wash and dress.
While she was washing up, she asked what had happened. The maid was also quite confused and replied, "This servant doesn't know what happened either, but the prince has come over, and he seems quite angry."
Wan Ge's heart skipped a beat again. Angry? What was it because of?
After quickly washing up and changing her clothes, Wan Ge hurriedly went to the main hall, where many people were already seated.
Besides his father, there was also his mother, his second and third uncles, his aunt and uncles, and his other aunts. Basically, everyone in the Duke's mansion came.
At the same time, his younger sister knelt on the ground, while Jiang Jin sat in the main seat.
Wan Ge obediently bowed to the elders and Jiang Jin, her face blank. She really didn't know what had happened. Looking at Chi Wan Yue kneeling, she wondered if Jiang Jin was now making a fuss about the arranged marriage.
When she arrived, she saw that the Duke's mansion gates were tightly closed, and it seemed that Jiang Jin had no intention of making a scene. Perhaps it was because of her…
After all, if word got out about a marriage exchange, it would affect the Duke's mansion and also have a significant impact on themselves.
When Jiang Jin saw Wan Ge arrive, he immediately stood up and took the basket from his subordinate.
"Wange, you're here. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? This is Shenglou's newest Yuhua cake, it's delicious."
Shenglou is the place where Jiang Jin bought him pastries before; it's the place with the best pastries in the capital city.
Despite being under everyone's watchful eyes, Wan Ge accepted the gift and politely thanked them.
It was blatant favoritism, and everyone present could see it.
