Chapter 382 Jiang Taihou will definitely agree!
The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai's face was like a dyeing factory, sometimes blue and sometimes red.
She gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "The old lady has misunderstood... I will not hide it from you. A few days ago, my elder sister specially invited General Yu's family to come to her house, hoping to marry Hua'er to General Yu. And today, General Yu's family has invited you to come to their house to propose marriage to Yue Yi..."
The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai became more and more relaxed as she spoke, revealing an ugly smile, "That's why I said, no..."
The old lady of Weibei Marquis glanced at the wife of Jiangtai Marquis and asked, "When your elder sister from your natal family introduced Cen Yuehua to the female members of the Yu family, did the Yu family refuse?"
Mrs. Jiang Taihou’s face froze.
She wanted to lie and say that the Yu family did not refuse, but at that time, the rustic Li Chunhua was about to say openly that Yu Yonghuai had a lover and did not like her daughter - this could not be hidden from the old lady of Weibei Hou, who would find out with a little investigation!
Madam Jiang Taihou could only smile stiffly and said, "...I did refuse, but..."
The old lady of Weibei Hou interrupted her rudely: "Isn't it enough to refuse it?"
The corners of her mouth twitched, and her smile was a little disapproving: "It's not like he's hanging around to ask for marriage for me. What's the problem?"
Mrs. Jiang Taihou's breath got stuck in her throat and she almost passed out.
She took several deep breaths to recover from the shock and smiled: "That's what I said...but..."
The old lady of Weibei Marquis said impatiently, "But what but? There are only so many good men in the capital. General Yu is the rising sun, and your Yueyi is also a dignified and beautiful girl. This should be a match made in heaven."
Madam Jiang Taihou felt like she was going to collapse!
How could she not know how good General Yu is? !
This was the future husband she had chosen for her son Huaer!
When Madam Jiang Taihou was racking her brains to think of how to get back at Madam Weibeihou without offending her, Madam Weibeihou suddenly sneered: "...So, even though the rumors in the capital are that you, Madam Jiang Taihou, have done an impeccable job as a stepmother after the eldest daughter of the Jiang Taihou Mansion returned from her maternal family, I have always had doubts about this. Today, I saw that you are clearly very satisfied with General Yu, but you are making all kinds of excuses about the marriage between your stepdaughter and General Yu. It shows that what I thought is true."
After saying this, the old lady of Weibei Hou sneered again.
This sneer made Mrs. Jiang Taihou's soul almost fly away.
The Jiangtai Marquisate was in decline, and she had been struggling in the capital for many years before she built up a good reputation and paved the way for the marriages of her daughter and son.
If someone of the status of the old lady of Weibei Marquis mentioned her once or twice in some public gatherings, and showed some contempt and disdain - then all her management over the years would immediately collapse and be ruined!
But now, she was asked to give up the son-in-law she had chosen for her daughter. How could she be willing to do that...
Madam Jiang Taihou could only look pale and force a smile: "Old Madam, you misunderstood. It's not that I am trying to stop you. It's just that you may also know that Yueyi grew up in Suyang. The Wei family in Suyang is a scholarly family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. When Yueyi was young, the Wei family also wanted Yueyi to marry back... Now, although so many years have passed, I don't know the attitude of the Wei family. If Yueyi wants to get married, how can I, as her stepmother, make the decision for her?"
The old lady of Weibei Hou sneered again.
The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai is very eloquent. If she were stupid, she might have been fooled.
"Oh? Madam Jiang Taihou means that you have no right to interfere in Yueyi's marriage?" The old lady of Weibeihou turned cold and no longer treated Madam Jiang Taihou with a kind face. "Well, then I will talk to Madam Jiang Taihou directly."
The old lady of Weibeihou was indifferent.
Cold sweat dripped down the forehead of Mrs. Jiang Taihou.
She forced a smile and said, "Old lady, don't worry..."
The old lady of Weibei Marquis slammed the table and sneered, "I have been patiently listening to your excuses for a long time! You blame everything on me, do you think I can't see it? Don't you just want to marry General Yu to your daughter?! I will tell you clearly now that General Yu has made it clear that he will not marry anyone other than Miss Yueyi! Just give up on this idea!"
These words made Mrs. Jiang Taihou's face swell up, and she felt embarrassed and angry!
A pair of hands were grabbing the handkerchief back and forth, almost tearing it into strips!
"Nanyan!"
The old lady of Weibei Marquis turned around and ordered, "Help me up. I think today is not the right time to come. I'd better go directly to find Jiang Taihou next time!"
The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai's face changed drastically, and she hurried forward to stop him, speaking sternly.
"Madam! Slow down!" The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai laughed uglier than crying. "Look at you, I haven't said anything yet, but you're already angry... You misunderstood me. A young hero like General Yu is willing to marry the daughter of our Marquis Jiang Tai Mansion. I'm so happy that I can't refuse."
"But as a stepmother, I have to be careful in this situation... I just thought that Yueyi is the apple of our marquis' eye, and because Yueyi is not in the capital all year round, our marquis loves her very much. If I want to keep Yueyi for a few more days, I must talk to our marquis about it. In addition, Yueyi's maternal grandparents raised her, and marriage is such a big thing, I should at least write a letter to them to discuss it..."
The wife of Marquis Jiangtai smiled and spoke for a long time before she persuaded the old lady of Marquis Weibei who was about to leave to stop.
The old lady of Weibei Marquis drooped her eyebrows. After listening to the eloquent words of the wife of Jiangtai Marquis, she reluctantly said, "Okay. I am old now. Sometimes when Her Royal Highness invites me to a banquet, I may not be able to go... After so many years, this is the first time I have come to act as a matchmaker for others, so I am a little anxious. I think the wife of Jiangtai Marquis should understand, right?"
Madam Jiang Taihou smiled and nodded: "I understand, I understand. Of course I understand."
The old lady of Weibei Marquis nodded and said, "It would be best if Madam Marquis could understand my urgency. Then please send someone to tell Marquis Jiangtai. I want to know the result of this matter today."
The smile on Mrs. Jiang Taihou's face froze.
Marquis Jiang Tai naturally wanted to become relatives with the promising Zhenxi General's Mansion!
As for the one getting married, whether it is the eldest daughter or the second daughter, what does it matter to Marquis Jiang Tai?
After all, she is the daughter of Marquis Jiang Tai!
Mrs. Jiang Taihou could guess it without even asking anyone!
Jiang Taihou will definitely agree immediately!
