Chapter 154 Discussing Jiang Han’s Marriage
No wonder the Crown Princess specifically mentioned her sister in front of Princess Jing. After all, there was also the Liu family's affairs involved. Jiang Wan lowered his eyes and slapped his sister in warning.
"How do you think I knew that? You were so clever, right? You've already exposed it to me. You stay home and don't go anywhere for the time being. Do you understand?"
"I heard it."
Jiang Han rubbed his hurt arm in frustration, nodded obediently and didn't dare to refute his sister's authority.
"Mom, if someone from the Liu family comes to propose marriage to the second son, please don't agree."
"Wanjie, what's going on?"
Xu frowned and Jiang Wan waved her hand.
"I'm not sure about the details, but the Crown Princess mentioned our second son in front of Princess Jing a few days ago, saying he was incredibly beautiful. Combined with what the second son just said, it's likely that neither family has any good intentions. It doesn't matter if our family doesn't understand, just don't get involved."
"Princess Jing?"
Xu's eyes flashed, and she moved closer to her eldest daughter and asked in a low voice.
"But what about Prince Jing...?"
Those who should understand the unspoken meaning will naturally understand.
"We won't get involved in anything that has nothing to do with our family. With the Crown Prince's abilities and skills, it won't be a problem for him to control Prince Jing. Li Chengxiu and I don't have that kind of ambition anyway, so we just need to live peacefully and not get dragged down by anyone."
Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Han, who looked aggrieved, and sighed before reaching out to rub her arm.
"Second brother, you are also very smart.
You should know that with my father's status and position, and now that I'm the Princess of Qi, your marriage will definitely be even more targeted. The only thing I can guarantee is that I won't force you into the royal family's selection of a son-in-law like I did.
The sky is wide and the earth is vast, and there are many good men.
I also hope that you can find a soulmate who loves you and live a peaceful and smooth life. Sometimes, true happiness comes from not having to make a big splash.
What do you think?
"I'll listen to you."
Jiang Han's beautiful eyes were filled with tears of grievance, and she reluctantly moved closer to her sister.
"I know you won't hurt me, I'll listen to you."
This is why Jiang Wan favors Jiang Han.
Although she was stubborn and not very gentle, she was truly a good child. In her previous life, she was trapped and bullied by scumbags in the name of love until she died. In fact, she had few choices. In this life, Jiang Wan hoped that his sister would have some choice.
"You don't have to listen to me. You have to listen to yourself when it comes to relationships. Your family can only help you screen and make sure the other person has a clean family background and a decent character. But whether you like someone or not is up to you."
She raised her hand to stroke her sister's hair and asked softly like an elder sister.
"So, second brother, do you have someone you like?"
"Sister, what are you talking about? How could a beautiful girl like me easily fall in love with someone? I won't let those people get away with it!"
The arrogant Jiang Han's face turned red, making everyone in the room laugh.
The old lady started to chatter with her.
"Look at how thick-skinned you are. No matter how pretty you are, you can't just stay at home, right?
If you really like someone, tell me as soon as possible. If you don’t like anyone, let your mother start casting nets now.
Don't rush to catch them and cook them right away, or what will come out of them? "
The old lady's words were reasonable, and Xu smiled and nodded.
"Sister Han, you'll be 15 next year. Your sister was already engaged when she was your age. You really can't put it off any longer. If you keep putting it off, won't all those good men be betrothed to other families?"
After looking at her little daughter's expression, she asked carefully.
"Some time ago, three more families came to propose marriage. Since you don't like Chang's fourth son, what about Shen's sixth son and the Guo's child?
You know all these people anyway, so why not tell Mom about it? Are there any of these two that you like?"
The fact that their daughter was raised so well at home was actually quite frustrating. For so many years, people had come to propose marriage to her at every opportunity. They had rejected countless people, both openly and covertly, and of course, they had lost face in countless people. Did they offend anyone?
But the eldest girl had no choice at the time, as the emperor's order was difficult to disobey. When it came to the second girl, the Jiang family couple hoped that they could let the child look after themselves, so that their lives would be easier in the future, right?
They weren't even planning on arranging the marriages of the third and fourth sons. Just like the eldest daughter had said, choosing someone they both loved would ensure a long-lasting marriage and a happy life.
Jiang Han blushed deeply.
He lowered his head and twisted the handkerchief in his hand, his voice very low.
"I've never liked Chang Yukang and Shen Shangjie since I was little. They're both so annoying! As for the rest, you can handle it, Mom."
Um?
Jiang Wan looked at his sister in surprise.
"Haven't I always heard you say you dislike Guo Ziqian? He always likes to act smart in front of you. I've heard you say that several times. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Well, the past was the past and the present is the present. I was young before, but now I'm grown up, right?"
Jiang Han raised his head and argued.
"Besides, he's really smart, not just pretending. If you don't believe me, ask the third brother. Guo Ziqian is a brilliant student and also very good at riding and shooting. He always manages to crush him and the fifth prince into dust. It really gives me a great way to vent my anger!"
Well, now I know why my second son likes her.
"Honestly, your attraction to Guo Ziqian has nothing to do with his status, appearance, or even his academic performance, right? His ability to help you suppress the Third Brother is the key to winning your heart, right?"
Jiang Laoer refused to acknowledge his sister's complaints.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I suddenly think Guo Ziqian is very good, so you can check him out.
Mom, tell my dad that if it turns out that Guo Ziqian is really good, then I will marry him."
"Okay, Mom got it."
When it comes to matters like marriage, the Jiang family seems to have a strange tolerance.
Everyone chatted animatedly for a long time, until the lunch ended and the sun drifted over the rooftops and gradually moved westward. Only then, at Xu's repeated urging, did Jiang Wan and his wife board the car and return home.
For a period of time afterwards, she took Li Chengxiu to her parents' home every other day. Since it was close by, they could just walk there. But when the weather gradually turned colder and they didn't want to go out, the couple gradually stopped eating free meals.
As the moon filled the sky, the Lanyue Residence was filled with the air of spring. Candles burned in the room, their faint light illuminating the walls of a pair of figures clinging to each other.
Two people who are deeply in love will always have a strong interest in some sudden bedroom pleasures.
Only after the flame flickered out a crazy afterimage and then gradually calmed down did the movement in the house completely stop.
