Despite their strong doubts, considering that the marriage proposal was approaching and that the two of them did indeed need to meet, Lady Jing'an and Princess Ping hesitated repeatedly before finally agreeing.
However, although the two mothers agreed to let them go out to meet, they had one more request.
"...Mother, what's wrong?"
“I went with you, and it’s been quite a while since I last went to offer incense. Now that your marriage is settled, it has been a worry on my mind. Naturally, I must go to the Bodhisattva to fulfill my vow and ask the Bodhisattva to continue to bless your marriage to go smoothly.”
Even though Lady Jing'an had already spoken, Jiang Xuelin still looked doubtful when she saw that Lady Jing'an was really going to go out with her.
From the moment she and Fu Hanlai made an appointment to go to Yuanshan Temple to offer incense, Lady Jing'an Marquis also conveyed a message to Princess Ping, and the two agreed to go to Yuanshan Temple together to offer incense and fulfill their vows.
After all, not only was Jiang Xuelin's marriage a major headache for her, but Fu Hanlai's marriage had also troubled Princess Ping for a long time.
With the two of them keeping things in check, those two fearless kids probably wouldn't dare to do anything out of line.
—The "outrageous thing" here doesn't refer to private dealings, but rather to fighting in public.
Hearing this, Jiang Xuelin hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to say it. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to this marriage was not the Third Prince, who was already engaged to Fei Qing, but herself and Fu Hanlai, the parties involved.
Even with both mothers accompanying her, Jiang Xuelin felt that she and Fu Hanlai would definitely find an opportunity.
To prevent the Bodhisattva from listening to her mother, she should have a proper talk with the Bodhisattva later.
This is really not a perfect marriage!
It's really not!
Lady Jing'an, unaware of Jiang Xuelin's thoughts, continued to ramble on, "The other day you went to Yuanshan Temple to draw a fortune stick, which said it was extremely auspicious. Although there were some twists and turns in the marriage, the final result would definitely be good, and now it has indeed come to pass."
"You drew lots together with Prince Ping that day? What a coincidence."
Jiang Xuelin: "...Ah, yes, Mother is right."
Today, the person accompanying Jiang Xuelin was still Hongluo, who had gone on a spring outing the other day. However, when she heard what Lady Jing'an said, her expression was somewhat strange.
She couldn't help but think of the day she followed behind Jiang Xuelin, when Jiang Xuelin and the Prince of Ping mocked each other.
The two were being sarcastic, wondering who was so unlucky to be engaged to the other, never expecting such an outcome. If Lady Jing'an hadn't mentioned it, Hongluo wouldn't have remembered, but now that she had, Hongluo remembered everything.
Jiang Xuelin originally wanted to wear riding clothes today so she could ride a horse for a while, but this decision was rejected by Lady Jing'an.
Today, we not only have to meet Prince Ping's heir, but also Prince Ping's consort. In the future, Jiang Xuelin will marry into Prince Ping's household. Even though both sides know what kind of person Jiang Xuelin is, they still have to make a good impression at this time, at least not be impolite.
So when Jiang Xuelin came to pay her respects yesterday, Lady Jing'an Marquis gave her special instructions.
Jiang Xuelin... Jiang Xuelin dared not refute anything, so today she could only change into a red coral-colored Liuxian skirt, and then add a hair ornament that made her look quiet and dignified. Only after she had tidied herself up was Lady Jing'an satisfied.
Unfortunately, only Lady Jing'an was satisfied; Jiang Xuelin was definitely not.
Of course, she did not dislike Princess Ping; on the contrary, she knew that Princess Ping had a very good temperament.
Compared to the other two families, the Prince Ping's residence is naturally of higher status. Fu Hanlai is also the only child of the Prince Ping's family, without any brothers or sisters. Under such circumstances, it is truly remarkable that the Princess Ping agreed to the Jiang family's request that the Prince Ping's heir could only take a concubine if he had no children by the age of thirty-five. This shows her great sincerity.
Unfortunately, if her son hadn't been Fu Hanlai, Jiang Xuelin would definitely have been very satisfied.
Why is it Fu Han who's coming?
Without riding attire, Jiang Xuelin was naturally unable to ride a horse and could only stay in a carriage with Lady Jing'an. On the way, she had to listen to Lady Jing'an's constant nagging and maintained a state of utter despair throughout the journey.
She pinned the blame on Prince Ping's heir.
Coincidentally, Fu Hanlai thought the same thing.
As a man, he naturally didn't need to ride in a carriage; he rode a horse, but halfway there, Princess Ping called him into the carriage.
Unfortunately, Princess Ping was still somewhat worried about her fearless son.
She had arranged to offer incense with the Lady of Jing'an Marquis today, and naturally did not want her son to be disrespectful in front of her, let alone see him fight with the girl she was about to be engaged to in front of her.
If a fight were to break out, Princess Ping felt she would definitely experience chest pain.
"You already know about the engagement between the Third Prince and the Second Miss of the Yongchang Marquis's family, his own cousin, right?"
Still feeling uneasy, Princess Ping couldn't help but bring up another matter.
Fu Hanlai nodded.
Such a big event was known throughout the capital. The Emperor issued an imperial decree to bestow a marriage upon the two, and Fei Qing became the third prince's second wife.
What's even funnier is that, just like Fu Hanlai, he fell into the water.
When this matter was mentioned, Fu Hanlai couldn't help but have a sour face.
The couple, who were about to get engaged, ended up in this marriage because they were both rescued from drowning. Fu Hanlai faced a second wave of ridicule after he bestowed a marriage upon the Third Prince and Fei Qing in the palace.
The first wave was when he was saved by Jiang Xuelin, and news of a marriage between the two families spread that he was about to get engaged to his mortal enemy.
And now.
=-=
He was originally going to get engaged to Fei Qing!
Now that they've both been rescued from drowning, they're forced to repay the debt with their bodies.
