Jiang Yuwei put down her teacup and looked at Wang Yurou.
"But who would have thought that Miss Wang wouldn't even give the young master a chance to explain, and just let him go back like that. He had already been drugged, and he barely managed to get back to the Prince Jing's mansion before collapsing at the gate."
After Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, Wang Yuru, forgetting all about wiping her tears, hurriedly stood up and looked at Jiang Yuwei with a nervous expression, asking:
"Then, how is the young master now?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled.
"Fortunately, we found him in time and rescued him. He's all better now. As soon as he woke up, he wanted to come and apologize to you, Miss Wang, but the servants of your manor are blocking him from entering."
Wang Yuru was relieved to hear from Jiang Yuwei that Ning Zixuan was alright.
"Lotus, what are you standing there for? Quickly go and invite the young master into the manor!"
Lotus, who was standing to the side, nodded hurriedly and ran out.
Seeing her daughter chatting and laughing again, Madam Wang couldn't help but glare at her, then looked at Jiang Yuwei and smiled:
“Madam Jiang, our daughter is naive and simple-minded. If you don’t come and explain things to her clearly today, she might end up benefiting someone else.”
Jiang Yuwei chuckled softly and looked at Wang Yurou.
"I think Miss Wang should have less contact with the second young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion in the future."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuru smacked her head and said in annoyance:
"I'm such a pig-brain, how could I want to be friends with such a heartless person? I will never associate with her again."
Just then, Ning Zixuan followed Lianhua in. Hearing Wang Yuru say that she would no longer associate with her, he assumed she was referring to him and hurriedly explained:
"Yu Rou, let me explain. It's not what you think. There's nothing between me and Ye Yuqing. You're the only one in my heart. I don't even look at her. Don't be angry. I brought you a gift. Please forgive me."
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuwei and Madam Wang couldn't help but exchange a smile.
Wang Yuru blushed instantly upon seeing this, and looked at Ning Zixuan softly, saying:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I was too impulsive yesterday and misunderstood you. Madam Jiang has already explained things to me. I will not associate with Ye Yuqing anymore."
Upon hearing Wang Yuru's words, Ning Zixuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
"No, it's okay, just don't ignore me."
Madam Wang finally realized that Ning Zixuan truly cared about her daughter; otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry. In truth, it was her daughter who was in the wrong for not recognizing Ye Yuqing's true feelings.
Thinking this, Madam Wang quickly got up and greeted Ning Zixuan:
"Young Master, since you're already here, don't just stand there. Lotus, quickly serve you some tea."
Seeing that the two had reconciled, Jiang Yuwei smiled and looked at Madam Wang, saying:
"Now that we have cleared things up and cleared up the misunderstanding, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss with Madam Wang the engagement between Miss Wang and the young master."
Jiang Yuwei didn't mention discussing this matter with Ning Zixuan, but judging from Ning Zixuan's current behavior, he must also want to finalize this marriage as soon as possible, which would relieve the princess's worries.
After hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Wang Yuru and Ning Zixuan exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads to silently drink their tea.
Seeing this, Madam Wang understood their intentions perfectly, and so she smiled and said to Jiang Yuwei:
“Alright, Yu Rou is not young anymore. If we settle their marriage sooner, it will save my husband and me some trouble.”
Jiang Yuwei smiled and looked at Madam Wang.
"The Princess Consort also told me that she hopes the Crown Prince's marriage can be settled as soon as possible, so that she can be at ease. After a while, when the Prince returns to the capital, we can hold the marriage ceremony for the Crown Prince."
Madam Wang nodded.
"Since both our families have agreed, we can finalize the marriage arrangement first, which will save us some trouble."
Jiang Yuwei smiled, picked up her teacup, and took a small sip.
"Alright, I had someone check before I left, and tomorrow is an auspicious day. Why don't we make an appointment to come to your residence tomorrow to get engaged, and then we can arrange the specifics of the engagement when Your Highness returns?"
Madam Wang frowned upon hearing this, glanced at Wang Yurou, and then spoke:
"Wouldn't tomorrow be too rushed?"
"I've seen that the two of them have been together for a while now, and after what happened with Ye Yuqing, their relationship has only gotten better. Why don't we take advantage of this auspicious day tomorrow to finalize the marriage between our two families? That way, we can avoid any unforeseen complications."
Madam Wang sighed.
"Alright, alright, our daughter is grown up and we can't keep her here. Tomorrow it is then. Let's hurry up and prepare today, and invite a few close relatives and friends to be witnesses, and that should be enough."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Jiang Yuwei also stood up and bowed to Madam Wang.
"In that case, let's go back and prepare the betrothal gifts. Young Master, what are you still sitting there for? Let's hurry up and go."
Ning Zixuan glanced longingly at the shy Wang Yuru before bowing to Madam Wang and leaving with Jiang Yuwei.
Ning Zixuan had come today to apologize to Wang Yuru, but he was surprised to find that Jiang Yuwei had already arranged her marriage. He was very happy at the time.
Upon arriving at Prince Jing's residence, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly instructed Ning Zixuan to return to his own courtyard to prepare his clothes for the next day, and then rushed to the Princess's courtyard.
"Your Highness, I have come to tell you some good news today."
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's shout, the princess hurriedly got out of bed.
"Yuwei, what's making you so happy?"
Jiang Yuwei helped the princess to sit at the table and poured her a glass of water.
"Today, I went to the Prince's residence with the young master and personally discussed the marriage arrangements for the two children with the Lady of the Prince. Tomorrow, we will go to the Prince's residence to arrange the engagement. The wedding will be held after the Prince returns to the capital."
The princess was delighted to hear Jiang Yuwei's words and quickly took Jiang Yuwei's hand.
"Yuwei, it's fortunate that you're here to help manage everything inside and outside our Jingwang Mansion. I was worried that Zixuan's marriage would be delayed for who knows how long, but now you've already settled things with the Wang family so quickly."
As the princess spoke, she picked up her cup and took a sip of water.
"I prepared the betrothal gifts for Zixuan long ago. Originally, I was going to ask the Li family for their daughter, but now that it's the Wang family, we can just change a few items on the betrothal gift list and have someone make a new copy."
The princess put down her cup.
"In this way, not only will the items be presentable, saving us the trouble of purchasing them separately, but they will also be different from the items sent to the Li family last time, so the Wang family won't be able to find any fault with them."
As she spoke, the princess instructed the maid standing beside her:
"Please arrange everything I just mentioned. Keep a close eye on them to prevent them from cutting corners. Tomorrow, you must go to the Wang family to present the betrothal gifts in a grand and impressive manner."
