"...I...I know that the Second Miss doesn't like Lan-ge'er, so I begged you, Master, to talk to her." In order to coax Shen Cang into doing things for her, Jiang Wan praised him highly: "The Second Miss may not listen to others, but you are her father. Does she dare to disobey you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at fiercely by Shen Cang.
He thought to himself, "You know perfectly well that what I said is like farting to that girl, yet you still say it like that. What else could it be but a deliberate attempt to mock me!"
Jiang Wan looked at this unpredictable bastard and couldn't be bothered to deal with him any longer.
But she just couldn't swallow her anger.
Before leaving, she casually said, "Well, life is tough these days, so let's not get the medicine. We should save where we can. The Fourth Miss is getting married soon, and we still need to prepare a dowry for her."
After a pause, she added, "However, on the other hand, if a dowry is provided, a betrothal gift should naturally be received as well."
"The Fourth Miss is marrying into a Marquis's family, so the betrothal gifts must be substantial. I wonder what kind of family the Second Miss will marry into? Judging from her appearance, her betrothal gifts will likely be more than the Fourth Miss's."
"Speaking of which, the second young lady is already sixteen, and she'll be seventeen after the New Year. Has the master looked after a potential husband for her?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Cang's previously sour expression softened, and he said, "No need..."
He originally thought that his eldest daughter would be set at the top if she married into the Marquis's family. Who would have thought that Qiyin, that girl, would quietly climb up to the heir of the Duke's family!
Everyone says that Prince Xiao is unpredictable and doesn't get close to women, but that night he clearly seemed to care a lot about Qiyin.
In this way, the betrothal gifts can be increased.
However, Jiang Wan's words reminded him that this girl was not young anymore, and it was not good for her to keep showing her face in public all day long. What if the Duke's mansion refused to let her in because of this?
Therefore, this marriage should be finalized as soon as possible before the young master gets tired of her.
So on this day, Shen Cang, who rarely went out, waited early in front of the gate of Qiying Pavilion. As soon as Xiao Yan rode up, he hurriedly went to greet him.
"Greetings, Your Highness. I pay my respects to Your Highness."
Xiao Yan sat high on his horse, giving him a cold, sidelong glance.
Shen Cang swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "I have come here today to discuss your marriage with my daughter with the young master."
