When Madam Zheng received Madam Jiang's invitation, she was stunned for a moment.
The thought of the two of them meeting is incredibly awkward.
Previously, the two families had never hosted a banquet for each other.
The General's Mansion has kept a low profile over the years, and Madam Jiang has not engaged in social activities.
She wasn't familiar with anyone, so she wasn't embarrassed.
Madam Zheng, however, was like a socialite in the capital, always surrounded by a crowd wherever she went.
However, it seems that he has never had any interaction with Madam Jiang.
However, that didn't stop Madam Zheng from gossiping about the General's Mansion.
When Jiang Chuwei first got divorced, Mrs. Zheng wentssiping quite a bit.
They gloated and watched the spectacle unfold.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chuwei later married Prince Yu.
Even more outrageous is that Prince Yu didn't even glance at other women.
It made many noble ladies in the capital envious.
Mrs. Zheng was almost driven mad by jealousy.
She had once hatched a plan: since Yao'er looked down on everyone, she might as well let her try to meet Prince Yu by chance.
In the end, I gave up on the idea.
Because the Duke of Zheng looked down on the Prince of Yu at the time.
Her daughter also disagreed; she would never use such despicable means to seduce any man.
After raising her daughter to the age of eighteen, Madam Zheng began to regret her decision, wondering if she had spoiled her daughter too much.
Zheng Yao rejected all the families that Madam Zheng had expressed interest in marrying into.
They say they want to find someone with whom they have a soulmate to spend their life.
Arranged marriages by parents and matchmakers simply wouldn't work for Zheng Yao.
Fortunately, my daughter is not so immature as to dare to disobey the imperial decree. Although she was unwilling, she did not make a big fuss.
Zheng Yao saw the invitation in her mother's hand. "Mother, are you going to the General's Mansion?"
"I'm wondering whether to go or not?"
“Go, why not?” Zheng Yao said immediately.
Madam Zheng suppressed a laugh: "You're not entirely willing either. I'm worried you won't want to go. After all, we don't know if this is a marriage that's a match made in heaven."
Zheng Yao then realized that her mother was deliberately lying to her!
"Mother!"
Zheng Yao stomped her foot.
Madam Zheng smiled.
Well, this child is just lucky despite her foolishness. Marrying into the general's mansion means she won't have to suffer at the hands of her mother-in-law.
"You're coming with me tomorrow, so dress up nicely."
Zheng Yao made a face at her mother.
Zheng Yao sat by the window, holding a book in her hands, but her mind was not on the book at all.
She frowned slightly, gazing into the distance with a somewhat lost look in her eyes, her heart filled with doubt and confusion.
She has always been attracted to gentle, refined, and elegant men, and has never been interested in rough and unrestrained military generals.
However, on that day, everything changed.
That day, Zheng Yao had already fainted. But her body remembered Jiang He's broad and strong chest, and the reassuring warmth of his embrace.
It was as if time stood still at that moment, and the whole world consisted only of the two of them.
What she found even more unforgettable was Jiang He's words, "idiot," when he scolded her.
This should have been a scolding, but when it came out of his mouth, Zheng Yao could clearly hear a hint of doting in it.
Although she had never met Jiang He before, the feeling of déjà vu was so strong, as if they had known each other for a very long time.
This inexplicable feeling made Zheng Yao wonder if she had fallen into some kind of spell.
Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Zheng Yao came to her senses and realized that she had unknowingly walked into the courtyard.
She took a deep breath and composed herself.
He then turned to the maid beside him and instructed, "Quickly prepare the clothes I will wear to the banquet tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the maids covered their mouths and chuckled, knowing full well that their young mistress had finally come to her senses.
The young lady is finally getting married.
In recent days, rumors have been circulating throughout the capital about the General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion.
Everyone was talking about how the daughter of the Duke of Zheng had accidentally fallen into the water, but was rescued by her future husband, the valiant General Jiang.
Everyone says this is simply a match made in heaven, a beautiful story of destiny.
When the news reached the Duke's mansion, Zheng Yao smiled broadly.
The maids knew that their young lady had agreed.
Hongcao was overjoyed, for she had thought she was going to die that day.
Unexpectedly, Young Master Jiang descended from the sky, saving not only Miss's life but also Hongcao's.
After Hongcao recounted what happened that day, the maids' favorability towards their future son-in-law skyrocketed.
The young lady's marriage was a source of great anxiety for the maids.
The young ladies never agreed to get married, as they were worried that they would become old maids.
It will be difficult to find a good husband in the future.
After all, all the good men have already been taken.
Hongcao brought out all her best jewelry and accessories.
Seeing the maids' joyful expressions.
Zheng Yao asked, "Am I being too formal?"
"It's good to make it more formal, so the young master will feel that the young lady values this meeting very much," Hongcao said with a smile.
"You talk too much," Zheng Yao said, her eyes never leaving the bronze mirror.
"This one will do!" Zheng Yao finally chose a light green dress.
This one looks gentler.
"I'll go iron it. Tomorrow, Miss will definitely be so captivating to the young master that he won't be able to take his eyes off her."
"You little rascal!" Zheng Yao pretended to hit you. "I've just spoiled you too much."
Hongcao immediately begged for mercy, "Miss, I won't say it again."
"Your punishment is to iron this garment until it's completely wrinkle-free."
“Yes,” Hongcao replied crisply.
