Princess Ping calmly watched Fu Hanlai jump up and down, still able to hold her teacup and drink tea, and have her maid massage her shoulders.
Although today's events went smoothly and both sides were interested, it doesn't mean it was easy.
After a while, Fu Hanlai finally stopped fussing. Looking at the calm Princess Ping, he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, "Is my son still your son?"
"If you weren't my son, your father would have beaten you every day!" Princess Ping was also furious. She was indeed satisfied with Jiang Xuelin, but whenever she thought about how this matter came about, she wished she could have the prince beat her son again.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
"Also, the Marquis of Jing'an's family said that they originally wanted to find a husband for their eldest daughter who would not take concubines, and I agreed on your behalf."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hanlai, unable to suppress his doubts once again, asked, "...Mother, is your son really your son? Is it true that he wasn't switched at birth with that woman Jiang Xuelin? Is she actually your child?"
Princess Ping put down her teacup and glanced at Fu Hanlai, almost losing all composure from her upbringing.
"What do you think? What if someone saves you and ends up getting themselves into a fire?"
Fu Hanlai: "..."
There's no need for that. The Prince Ping's residence isn't exactly a hellhole, is it?
Fu Hanlai glanced furtively at Princess Ping and muttered under his breath, "...How can you talk about your own son like that?"
He was indeed a playboy, but at the same time he was an extremely filial son. He was not angry because Princess Ping had arranged his marriage without his consent, and even seemed to have agreed to many conditions.
well.
Princess Ping sighed and rubbed her throbbing forehead. "I wasn't talking about you."
I'm talking about the Third Prince!
"……oh."
That's alright.
well.
In other families, a ten-year-old child can already support a family, or at least be considered a half-grown child. But this one in their family... it's a real worry. Luckily, he has a noble title and is the emperor's beloved nephew; otherwise, how would they manage?
"In short, your mother is just informing you that the Prince Ping's residence will visit the Marquis of Yongchang's residence tomorrow to explain what happened and to cancel your engagement with the second daughter of the Fei family."
"Mother, you can't do this! Can't you just say that it was a guard from the Jiang family who saved me? It's just a rumor that the Jiang family girl went into the water to save me; the truth is that it was a guard from the Jiang family." Fu Hanlai couldn't help but rack his brains.
Just thinking about how he got married because Jiang Xuelin saved him, he knew that Jiang Xuelin would laugh at him every day from now on!
Besides, the two of them already disliked each other. What would happen if they got married? Wouldn't that rude woman, Jiang Xuelin, be fighting with him every day?
He likes the kind of well-educated and reasonable girl, not someone like Jiang Xuelin!
Moreover, his mother actually promised the Jiang family that she would not take concubines!
Doesn't that mean he has to stay with Jiang Xuelin for the rest of his life, and if he gets beaten up, he has nowhere to go and has to obediently return to the main courtyard, where he can at most sleep in the study?
Thinking of this, Fu Hanlai's gaze changed again.
No, absolutely not!
The thought of having to live under Jiang Xuelin's thumb, and having to legitimately bring the two of them together day and night, made Fu Hanlai feel extremely uncomfortable.
"No, the Jiang family is already discussing marriage. Even if this is just a rumor, it's unlikely that anyone will be willing to discuss marriage with the Jiang family in the short term. Anyone willing at this time is up to no good. The Jiang family simply doesn't have time to drag this out. One reason is that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family is getting old, and the other is the Third Prince's side."
After such an incident, the Third Prince might still be targeting Jiang Xuelin, but given his behavior, it's hard to say for sure.
If the Third Prince were to succeed in marrying her because of the delayed engagement, it would be an undeserved disaster for Jiang Xuelin and the Jiang family.
Princess Ping, being a member of the royal family, knows more about the Third Prince... no good.
We cannot let a young lady lose her entire life just because we saved her son, Ashou. The Prince Ping's mansion would never do such an ingratitude.
although……
In the eyes of others, Ah Shou was not a good man, but a pit of fire. But at least the Prince Ping's mansion was not bad, and Ah Shou was a responsible man. Most importantly, he was safe and would not drag the Jiang family into the struggle for the throne.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
That makes sense, but he really doesn't want to be ridiculed for the rest of his life. Everyone in the capital knows that he and Jiang Xuelin are at odds and are mortal enemies. He really will never be able to hold his head up high again!
"Mother, please think of something, I really don't want to—"
...
"Mother, please think of something! I really don't want to!"
Meanwhile, the Jing'an Marquis's residence was also arguing about this matter.
Jiang Xuelin felt like she was about to collapse.
Fu Hanlai!
She's engaged to him?
Ahhh!
"Mother, think about it. That's Fu Hanlai! If I marry into the Prince of Ping's mansion and go to his territory, I'll definitely be abused every day. I'll have to serve him, be a good wife and mother to him, and he'll be very proud of me!"
Jiang Xuelin could already picture Fu Hanlai's smug and arrogant face—what was the use of being so arrogant before, he still ended up in my hands!
Just thinking about this scene made Jiang Xuelin want to rush to the Prince Ping's mansion and throw him into the small river outside Yuanshan Temple.
Absolutely not!
This marriage is absolutely unacceptable!
Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to resist killing Fu Han!
"Mother, this marriage really can't go through. Otherwise, I'm afraid that one day I might lose my temper and do something terrible!"
Lady Jing'an: "..."
Hearing you say that makes me less worried.
Lady Jing'an knew her daughter well, so she just sat there watching her do whatever she wanted, occasionally chiming in with a word or two, but ignoring her completely.
There are still many things to do at home, and although the marriage has been arranged, it doesn't mean there's nothing else to do. On the contrary, there are many more things to do next.
The rules for marriage are already quite complicated. The two of them are not young, so they must arrange all the procedures as soon as possible. Also, Jiang Xuelin's dowry must be carefully checked.
Each and every one of these matters required Lady Jing'an to handle.
Jiang Xuelin's three daughters-in-law were all with their husbands at the border. Otherwise, she could have had someone to help her. Unfortunately, the Lady of Jing'an Marquis did not want the young couple to be separated for too long. After asking them, she let them go with her so that her son could have someone to look after him.
Jiang Xuelin racked her brains, then turned around and found that Lady Jing'an Marquis seemed to be lost in thought. She immediately leaned over and pleaded coquettishly, "Mother, please think of a way! I really don't want to get involved with the Prince of Ping's heir, otherwise I'll be suppressed by him for the rest of my life!"
How can this be!
Seeing that Lady Jing'an remained unmoved, Jiang Xuelin gritted her teeth and suddenly came up with a good idea.
She knew her family was worried that things might get complicated if things dragged on.
"Mother, I have a great idea."
Lady Jing'an looked up at her.
"What do you think about our daughter finding a man to marry into her family?"
Lady Jing'an: "..."
"Get out! I don't want to see you right now!"
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist taking action.
"……oh."
