When Su Jingshu heard that Gu Yunrou had arrived, she quickly went out to greet her.
The two went together to the back garden.
"Yunrou, the weather is nice today, not too hot or too cold. Let's go sit in the garden for a while. The lotus leaves in the pond over there are growing very vigorously."
Although the lotus flowers haven't bloomed yet, the pond full of lotus leaves is quite beautiful.
Su Jingshu nodded.
"Alright, your pond full of lotus leaves is quite nice. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've had lotus leaf chicken. How about I treat you to a meal here today?"
"Of course you can. With our relationship, there's no need to talk about 'mooching' or 'cashing'. This is your family home. You can come whenever you want, and I have no objection to you staying here."
The lotus leaf chicken won't be ready for a while, let's go have some lotus leaf tea first.
The two sat down in the lakeside pavilion, chatting and laughing.
After drinking some tea, Gu Yunrou pondered for a moment and looked at Su Jingshu.
"We live so close now, you must have heard that someone came to our house to propose marriage yesterday, right?"
Su Jingshu nodded.
"I just heard from the servants in the manor that the girl is quite nice. Although she comes from a humble background, we don't consider that when we get married."
Gu Yunrou looked at Su Jingshu intently.
"I don't care about the portal; I care about what the children think."
Sister Su, we've known each other for many years and are as close as sisters. I'll speak frankly, and please don't take any offense if I've been impolite.
Su Jingshu glared at Gu Yunrou.
"Just say what you want to say. We don't need to talk about this with someone like us."
Gu Yunrou hesitated for a moment and said softly,
"I've already inquired about Yang'er's feelings; he likes Ningbao."
Actually, I saw this a long time ago. The reason I didn't immediately refuse the Yang family's marriage proposal was that I wanted to push him so that he would realize his own feelings sooner.
I never expected that brat would always know what I wanted.
I was going to bring him here to propose marriage, but this brat said there's no rush.
He said Ningbao was still young and hadn't figured things out yet, so he wanted to wait a little longer.
I don't want to beat around the bush with our relationship. Today I just want to take this opportunity to sound out your and the Prince's opinions on whether you would agree to this marriage if that day ever comes.
If you agree, we'll wait and see. If you disagree, I won't be angry. In the future, I'll try to persuade Yang'er to give up his inappropriate thoughts and treat Ningbao like a younger sister.
We absolutely cannot let that brat ruin the harmony between our two families.
"You just like to overthink things. If I'm not at ease with Ningbao marrying into your family, who else can I trust?"
I watched Mu Yang grow up, so I definitely have no objection to Ning Bao marrying him, and the prince has no objection either.
My Ningbao is great in every way, except she's a little slow to understand romantic relationships.
She hasn't quite grasped it yet, but let's wait and see.
"No rush, definitely no rush. I've already decided on this daughter-in-law. I've heard that many people want to become in-laws with the Prince's family recently. You'd better keep a close eye on things and make sure Ningbao isn't betrothed away."
Su Jingshu smiled.
"Don't worry, it won't be easy to marry my daughter. Tell Mu Yang to be prepared. My lord has very strict requirements for his son-in-law."
"That's no problem..."
"Achoo! Achoo!"
In Baijiazhuang, on the outskirts of the capital, she had sneezed several times this morning. Bai Ming reached out and touched her wrist.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
