Ni Yueshan stayed in Jidong Pavilion waiting for news, and soon Ren Mei came over.
"Miss, the maid in Madam's courtyard replied that Madam has already chosen someone, a bastard son of a fourth-rank official, to be her legal wife!"
Ni Yueshan raised an eyebrow: "Why do I feel so good?"
Ren Mei was a little confused: "Maybe it's just the surface work?"
"What about character?"
Ni Yueshan didn't think Miao Yuan was the kind of person who would repay evil with kindness.
Ren Mei began to feel embarrassed: "Character... the matchmaker will naturally praise it to the sky."
Ni Yueshan chuckled. She always felt that Ni Yueshuang would try every possible means to prevent her from marrying him.
"Okay, got it." Ni Yueshan was a little looking forward to this brother-in-law.
The next day.
As soon as there were signs of Ni Yueshuang's marriage, the Min family sent someone to investigate.
Miao Yuan was a rather dull person, and because she was often ill, the yard was rarely bustling with activity. She was physically exhausted, so the task of entertaining the Min family was left to her.
Ni Yueshan was very surprised, but did not refuse.
As the legitimate daughter, I feel it is my duty to entertain the Min family.
It’s just that the Min family seems a little familiar.
Ni Yueshan arrived in the living room, where there was a middle-aged woman and a young maid dressed as a maid. When the woman saw Ni Yueshan coming, she immediately stood up.
"Is this the eldest daughter of the Ni family?"
The woman pulled Ni Yueshan's hand affectionately, but Ni Yueshan avoided it somewhat uncomfortably.
"Is this lady from the Min family?"
The material of the clothes seems to be of good quality, but the clothes are brand new, so I am afraid I would not wear them normally, but I put them on today.
"I am the wet nurse of the second young master of the Min family. I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion is inquiring about our second young master?"
She smiled appropriately, but her eyes seemed to be trying to please.
The second son of the Min family was born out of wedlock and was the son of a fourth-rank official. It was considered a good thing for him to marry the concubine's daughter of the prime minister's family.
Although Ni Yueshuang's reputation was not very good, she was beautiful and talented. Just based on her status as the daughter of the prime minister, there was no reason to refuse her.
Moreover, the Prime Minister’s family only has one son, and Ni Yueshuang is Ni Hongbo’s biological sister!
In the future, Ni Hongbo will be the only successor to the Prime Minister's Mansion!
"Please sit down and talk!"
Ni Yueshan moved to sit beside him, but the middle-aged woman did not sit down and stood beside him.
"It is always the master who sits. How can I, an old slave, have the right to sit? I will stand and talk to you."
She stared at her without blinking, with a flattering smile in her eyes. If Ni Yueshan had not dodged her touch just now, she would have held Ni Yueshan's hand and spoken to her intimately.
"My mother chose your son, so there must be something special about him. I wonder how old he is, whether he has any concubines, whether he has any bad habits, and whether he is currently taking the imperial examinations?"
Ni Yueshan's questions were quite detailed, and the woman beside him patiently answered them one by one: "I have reached the age of twenty-three years, I have no concubines at home, I have no bad habits, and I am studying for the imperial examination!"
Everything sounds good.
But why did Miao Yuan choose their family?
Ni Yueshan was a little confused.
"How many sons are there in the Min family?"
The woman seemed to have heard something unpleasant and quickly explained, "Although there are a few too many young masters, don't worry, young lady. Our second young master is the most ambitious. He will definitely pass the imperial examinations and be on the list of the best!"
"A little more?" Ni Yueshan raised his eyebrows slightly.
A fourth-rank family has many brothers and naturally many women. Even though she is the legal wife, I am afraid there will be fights if she goes there.
This young master of the Min family seems to be fine in terms of his personal conditions, but there is a problem with the mess at home!
The woman said nervously, "Don't worry, Miss. Our second son is the most ambitious and will definitely be a considerate person. He won't let your sister suffer any injustice!"
"Why haven't you had a concubine for three years since you came of age?"
The woman was a little confused and depressed when asked this question. She knew she couldn't hide it, so she gritted her teeth and replied, "I had a daughter, but unfortunately she died in childbirth."
There are still people who have deceased wives. Ni Yueshan chuckled and said, it’s interesting.
Ni Yueshan suddenly laughed, which made the woman feel a little uneasy.
"Okay, I get it. A man who is ambitious and knows how to love his wife is naturally worthy of being entrusted with a lifetime. I support your young master. Go back and prepare the betrothal gifts!"
The woman's eyes lit up instantly.
"Alright, I'll go back and have Madam prepare the betrothal gifts so that the young lady from the Xiangfu family can marry in style!"
Then she happily left with the maid behind her.
Ren Mei asked hesitantly, "Is that all?"
"My mother chose the person and asked me to entertain him because she wanted me to understand his situation and see if I agreed. I had no objection, so naturally the marriage was arranged."
Ren Mei showed a look of surprise: "What if the Second Miss would rather die than obey?"
"Humph, then she is unfilial. Who would dare to marry a woman who commits suicide?"
And she was certain that Ni Yueshuang was reluctant to die.
In the evening, Ni Yueshan told Ni Yueshuang about her engagement, but Ni Gaofei looked calm and didn't care much.
"Just look at it as if it's about the same."
Ni Yueshuang's reputation was damaged, but she was able to get married. It was already God's will!
The Min family was also efficient. After preparing the betrothal gifts, they came to the prime minister's residence to propose marriage within three days.
Although there were a lot of things in the betrothal gifts, they didn't seem to be very valuable. It was not easy for a mother or son born out of wedlock to be rich if they were not favored.
Receiving the betrothal gift naturally means that the marriage is settled. Ni Gaofei happened to be at home today and was having a meeting with someone in the living room.
