"Miss Wang, I won't beat around the bush. Yun Ting wrote to you and said he wants to marry you. The most taboo thing about marriage is to be too one-sided. As a mother, I'm afraid he's wishful thinking and forcing you to do something. Today, I just want to ask you what you think?
Don’t worry about each other’s backgrounds, just look at Yun Ting as a person, do you like him?
If you have no interest in him, this matter will come out of your mouth and enter my ears, and no third person will know about it. I will tell Yun Ting that I don't like you. No one will blame you, and it will not affect the cooperation between the Qiao and Wang families!
If you also like my son, I will ask your father to come over to discuss the matter now, and then ask a matchmaker to propose marriage. Yun Ting will be back in half a month at most, which is just the right time to settle this matter!
"Madam, I......"
"Whatever you think, just say it!"
"I don't know either, but Qi Da is not a good match. I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the young general! I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes."
"Are you worried that the difference between our identities is too great?"
Wang Caiwei closed her eyes and nodded cruelly: "Yes!"
Her ex-fiancé, who had only passed the imperial examination, despised her for being the daughter of a merchant. Not to mention that Qiao Yunting was now the top leader in charge of Jiangcheng, holding both military and political power in his hands, a veritable frontier official. How could Wang Caiwei dare to even think about it?
"Silly girl, didn't I tell you to put aside their identities and just talk about him as a person! Do you like him? In my eyes, my son may not be worthy of you!"
"No, no, no, how can you think like that, old lady? The young general is such a good man. There are so many girls from noble families in Jiangcheng who are looking forward to marrying him!"
"But he's attracted to you! So what if they're a good match? Many couples who are a good match are just not in love. As a mother, I just hope Yun Ting can live happily in the second half of his life."
"If you are worried about your divorce, don't worry. His ex-wife also despised him for being incompetent, and now he has two sons!"
"Ah~~~You mean Silang and Wulang's mother dislikes him?" Wang Caiwei widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
"Yeah, why would I lie to you? So, why do you have to feel inferior?"
“But...but......” The old lady has exposed her own family scandal, what else can she say?
How could it be possible that she didn't like him? Qiao Yunting's face alone drove so many women crazy, not to mention that he was in a high position at a young age. Putting aside the feelings, few girls could refuse this marriage.
She couldn't explain what she was struggling with, so why did she refuse?
"Caiwei, Yun Ting chose his first wife himself, but unfortunately he was wrong. For so many years, he didn't even have someone who cared about him.
Since ancient times, love is the most hurtful thing, and it is also the most helpless. I am afraid that he will never recover from this. Now he has told me in person that he likes you, you don’t know how happy I am! A good girl like you is his wife, which is a blessing he has cultivated for eight lifetimes.
Look at you, a woman supporting such a big family business, is no less inferior to a man. It will be easy for you to help Yun Ting manage the backyard in the future.
Yun Ting has no other advantages, but he is family-oriented and self-disciplined. We in the Qiao family do not have concubines or maids. As a mother-in-law, I don't have so many rules. The most important thing is that the couple live a good life. Look at his two older brothers and sisters-in-law, are they like this?"
........
Wang Caiwei walked out of the Qiao Mansion with a red face and head lowered, while Wang Yuanwai was supported by the people around him when he walked out.
Jiang Huaixi looked at the situation of the two people and was completely confused until his uncle Wang Yuanwai squeezed into his carriage and then he figured out the situation!
"Nian Nian, is what the old lady said true?"
"Um!"
"Oh my God, smoke is coming out of my Wang family's ancestral tomb! I, Wang Duocai, must have accumulated blessings for several lifetimes to have this day!"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Don't make a fuss about something that hasn't even been decided yet. The old lady doesn't like to be ostentatious, so you better take it easy!"
"I know, I know! We'll notify our relatives and friends after the matchmaker shows up!"
Mr. Wang agreed verbally, but was thinking about who to invite, especially the Zhao family. He would personally deliver the wedding invitations to them and let them take a good look at whether their daughter was destined to bring misfortune to her father and mother!
"What matchmaker, uncle? Who is here to propose marriage?"
"Huai Xi, this is your cousin. The young general actually wants to marry your cousin. The old lady is also very happy to hear about it. She just asked for my opinion..."
"But doesn't my cousin want to marry a man?"
Without even thinking, Mr. Wang denied it directly: "Why marry a son-in-law? The young general has a promising future, how can he become our son-in-law? When the Zhao family bullied us, it was the old lady who helped us cancel the marriage! I know your cousin's situation inside out."
"Ah!!!, the old lady knows everything, don't you mind?"
Wang Caiwei blushed and said, "The old lady said that my ex-fiancé despised me for my low status, and the young general was despised by his ex-wife for his incompetence. If the two of us were to get together, we would complement each other perfectly!"
Jiang Huaixi was stunned. For families like theirs, marriage first considered matching, status and power, and whether it could bring benefits to both families. As for whether the man and woman were suitable for each other and whether they had feelings for each other, that was just incidental. Why were these not important to her cousin?
After breaking off the engagement with the Zhao family, my cousin's life became more and more comfortable, and she was not affected at all by the gossip about the broken engagement.
What about myself? My experience is so similar to that of my cousin. Can I also take a different path like my cousin?
Jiang Huaixi had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He was happy for his cousin but also worried about his own future.
.......
Qiao Xin saw Wang Caiwei and her daughter off and turned around and entered the palace!
After hearing Qiao Xin's intention, the Queen couldn't help but laugh: "This old lady is really decisive in doing things. Did she convince the woman to agree so quickly?"
Emperor Wu still felt uncomfortable: "Humph, how can I not agree? If it weren't for Yun Ting, that fool, and her unreasonable mother-in-law, would such a thing have happened to the Wang family?"
Qiao Xin smiled innocently: "Your Majesty, the girl is very clear-headed and self-aware. She didn't agree at first.
We think our own child is a treasure, and so is Mr. Wang? No matter how outstanding Yun Ting is, he is also a second marriage, and everything in the future will be inherited by the fourth and fifth sons. This is unfair to Miss Wang. It is inevitable that people have concerns.
Besides, if Miss Wang is wronged in the future, and she has no brothers, and Mr. Wang is old and unable to seek justice for his daughter, isn't it normal for her to worry as a father?"
Emperor Wu flicked his sleeves and said, "You have Miss Wang on your left, who is good, and Miss Wang on your right, who is also very good. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are his biological mother. Then why are you looking for me?"
Qiao Xin automatically ignored the dissatisfaction in Emperor Wu's words, "You have to agree to this. Yun Ting cares a lot about family affection, how can he not care about your opinion? If Your Majesty keeps opposing it, even if he finally gets the beauty, his life will be miserable."
