Ni Yueshan understood: "There are quite a few people with good character, so I will choose one for Dad!"
Ni Gaofei nodded in relief. "Well, then I'll go back first!"
He looked like he didn't want to stay even a moment longer. Ni Yueshan thought, maybe he was shy?
The ladies were all dressed elegantly and gracefully, looking like a gathering of noble ladies...
Ni Yueshan curled her lips into a smile and walked over. When the women saw Ni Yueshan, their eyes lit up instantly. One of them stepped forward and said, "This must be the Princess of Chen, right? Look at her. She looks so much like the late Prime Minister's wife! Both are peerless beauties!"
Ni Yueshan looked at the woman who was speaking and asked curiously, "Have you seen my mother?"
"I've seen it from afar, and it's unforgettable!"
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered. Miao Yuan was indeed born with a good appearance. Even though she had been sick for many years, she still had a beautiful face.
Ni Yueshan's eyes were filled with complexities. Another woman at the side spoke up, "Look at you, how can you talk like that? The Prime Minister's wife is gone, why are you deliberately bringing up someone's sad story?"
Then she squeezed in front of Ni Yueshan and asked, "Princess Chen, although I was divorced at home, it was because the concubine at home seduced the master and made him divorce me. I am also innocent! As long as I enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, I promise to take good care of the Prime Minister, meticulously, and I will treat you as my own child!"
Ni Yueshan listened to the assurance with an indifferent expression, showing no interest at all.
Needless to say, this person must not be telling the truth...
Ni Yueshan's eyes swept around, and finally fell on a woman who was sitting alone and silent.
She walked towards her and asked curiously, "Why are you sitting here alone? Are you feeling unwell?"
The woman raised her head. She was wearing a lavender long dress and her hair was all tied up. She looked peaceful and comfortable.
She stood up and bowed slightly: "I am not good at talking, so I feel comfortable sitting here and drinking tea!"
Ni Yueshan looked at her in surprise, "You know a lot about tea?"
"I know a little bit about it, and when I have nothing to do, I will sit down and drink tea."
Ni Yueshan felt that this woman was really gentle, and her temperament could not deceive anyone.
"Do you like to worship Buddha?"
Ni Yueshan's question surprised the other party. He put the Buddhist beads on his wrist into his sleeve and answered, "Occasionally, I chant scriptures."
"You have a quiet nature!"
The woman was a little embarrassed: "I guess so!"
"That's good. I'll just be a quiet wife and take care of the backyard chores for my husband. Women like this are always willing to work hard and never complain."
Ni Yueshan glanced at the women present. Each of them seemed to know that Ni Yueshan was about to choose this woman, and their eyes were full of anxiety and dissatisfaction.
Ni Yueshan retracted his gaze and returned it to her. "Could you please tell me why you're alone? And why are you thinking of finding a partner?"
Even if the woman had been married and had children, she would still feel uncomfortable when she heard this.
"Why are you shy? Speak!" Someone standing aside began to urge her, obviously noticing that the woman seemed to be in trouble.
"This old woman...was driven out of her home for plotting to murder her children. She came to the feast out of sheer hunger!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present tutted their tongues. Some sighed and mocked, "You are so vicious, and you still want to use the Prime Minister as a backer? How dare you do that? How did the matchmaker find people? Why did she bring everyone with her?"
Ni Yueshan was also curious. The matchmaker was greedy for money, so how could she bring such a person here for nothing?
The woman was a little embarrassed. "I have a son and a daughter. Their marriages were arranged by this matchmaker. He gave me a little face and brought me here. I was kicked out of my home and have no money. Now I have nowhere else to go..."
Ni Yueshan didn't ask any more questions and turned to look at the others present: "Please take a seat, everyone. Let me get to know you one by one!"
He chatted with the women as if they were family and got to know everyone present. It was already very late and the sky was gradually getting dark. The women left one after another, and Ni Yueshan did not announce who he had chosen.
Even though the other women wanted to ask, they didn't dare to open their mouths and eventually left.
Ni Yueshan turned to look at Qingdie and said, "Go follow that woman!"
Although Qingdie was surprised, she nodded and followed obediently.
