Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Wang Yuru's eyes widened. She then recalled the scene of her dining with the young master in the Delicious City and seemed to understand something. She blushed and lowered her head, refusing to look at Jiang Yuwei.
Seeing that Wang Yuru was shy, Jiang Yuwei smiled and looked at Madam Wang.
“Madam Wang, since you haven’t settled Miss Wang’s marriage yet, we can’t just choose one family. It would be better to look at a few more families so we can have a choice. After all, this is a major event in Miss Wang’s life.”
Madam Wang glanced at Wang Yurou, who was standing to the side with her head down and not saying a word, then looked at Jiang Yuwei and smiled:
“What Madam Jiang said makes sense. May I ask which young man you are here to propose marriage on behalf of today?”
Jiang Yuwei took a sip of tea and smiled faintly.
"It's the heir of Prince Jing's mansion who has taken a liking to Miss Wang, and he specifically asked me to act as matchmaker today."
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Madam Wang nearly dropped her cup. Her mouth gaped open, and she stammered, "..."
"Madam Jiang, you can't joke like that. Who were you talking about just now?"
Jiang Yuwei put down her teacup and stared intently at Madam Wang.
"It is Ning Zixuan, the heir of the Prince Jing's mansion."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuru, who was sitting to the side, blushed even more. She kept fidgeting with the handkerchief in her hand, biting her lower lip slightly, and silently thinking about what Jiang Yuwei had just said.
She really didn't expect that Ning Zixuan would actually have feelings for her. Wang Yuru had met Ning Zixuan a few times before, but they had only met once and never spoken properly.
The only time they sat down and ate together was when they were at the food court.
Unexpectedly, after just this one meal, Wang Yuru kept thinking about Ning Zixuan.
Today she went out to the food court, but it wasn't just for the food. She was more interested in seeing if she could try her luck and have a meal with Ning Zixuan again.
Even if her mother forced her to marry off to that distant cousin, she would accept it.
To Wang Yuru's utter surprise, Ning Zixuan actually sent Jiang Yuwei to propose marriage. She was truly glad that she hadn't so quickly agreed to her mother's request to marry that cousin she had never met.
If she could marry Ning Zixuan now, Wang Yuru would feel that her life would be complete.
However, Madam Wang did not think so. She was first shocked, then delighted, and looking at her daughter's appearance, she really couldn't understand what the young master had seen in her daughter.
Moreover, the fact that Jiang Yuwei came to the Prince's Mansion in such a grand manner to propose marriage today made Madam Wang even more puzzled. After all, with the background of the Prince Jing's Mansion, what kind of good girl couldn't they find?
Why has he fallen for his own silly, good-for-nothing daughter?
Thinking this through, Madam Wang spoke with some concern:
"Madam Jiang, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded to Madam Wang.
"I'm here today to discuss this matter with you. Please feel free to speak your mind if you have any concerns. Let's be frank and open with each other, so there's no need to hide anything or try to guess what you're thinking."
Madam Wang got up and poured Jiang Yuwei a cup of tea.
“Well, I know what kind of person our daughter is. She was quite embarrassed when she went to the banquet at the Prince’s mansion last time. I really can’t understand what the young master sees in our daughter?”
After Madam Wang finished asking the question, Wang Yuru, who had been overjoyed, realized what was going on. Since she was little, her family had told her that she would never find a husband because of her character. Now she wanted to know what the young master liked about her, so she looked up at Jiang Yuwei and waited for her to speak.
Jiang Yuwei glanced at the worried expressions on the mother and daughter's faces, and couldn't help but cover her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckle softly.
"Who can say for sure about feelings? Perhaps the young master likes Miss Wang's unique personality. He's seen too many ordinary noblewomen, and when he meets a free-spirited girl like Miss Wang, even I would want to take a few more glances."
Madam Wang glanced at her daughter, then sighed and said:
“Madam Jiang, as I told you before, I don’t care if my child marries into a wealthy or powerful family. I just want her to be happy for the rest of her life. Now that I’ve heard what you said, I feel even more uncertain.”
Madam Wang paused for a moment, then looked at Jiang Yuwei and said:
"What if this prince was just acting on a whim, and was pressured by the princess, so he just casually mentioned that he had taken a liking to our daughter and wanted to marry her to shut the princess up? Wouldn't our daughter's happiness for the rest of her life be ruined?"
Upon hearing Madam Wang's words, Jiang Yuwei quickly replied with a smile:
“Madam Wang, you are really overthinking it. The young master is not someone you can settle for just anyone. When I came out of the Princess’s courtyard yesterday, I heard him say with my own ears that he would not marry anyone but Miss Wang. If she marries someone else, he will never marry again.”
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Wang Yuru's face immediately turned red to the roots of her neck. The usually carefree girl now became shy and hesitant.
"Madam Jiang, did the Crown Prince really say that?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded at Wang Yurou.
“It’s absolutely true. I heard it with my own ears. If the young master hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have made up this lie. If Miss Wang doesn’t believe me, I’ll have the young master say it again in front of you another day.”
When Wang Yuru heard Jiang Yuwei say that, she quickly and shyly waved her hand and said:
"No, no need. I... I believe you, Madam Jiang."
At this moment, how could Madam Wang not understand her daughter's feelings when she saw her daughter like this? Earlier, she had shown her her cousin's portrait, but her daughter threw it away without even looking at it.
She was still sulking about this this morning, but now that she hears Ning Zixuan say he's going to propose marriage, she's all blushing and acting all shy. She's probably already had him in her heart.
Madam Wang sighed helplessly.
"Since you've said so, Madam Jiang, let the two children get to know each other first. I'll wait for her father to return so we can discuss it properly. In that case, let's put the marriage arrangements on hold for now."
Seeing that Madam Wang had said so, and looking at Miss Wang's blushing face, Jiang Yuwei knew that the matter was almost certain. Today's trip was not in vain, and the gift was well worth it.
Thinking this, Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded.
"In that case, I will go back and inform the Princess and the Crown Prince. We will arrange for the two children to meet more often, so that you can feel more at ease."
After saying this, Jiang Yuwei got up to say goodbye to the two of them. Madam Wang also warmly led Wang Yurou to see Jiang Yuwei out of the mansion.
