Chapter 304: Talking about Marriage
The house was unusually quiet.
Lin's mother and daughter looked at Lu Qingyao eagerly.
It's like looking at a life-saving straw.
I'm afraid she will say no.
Lu Qingyao said nothing, lowering her eyes in thought.
Seeing her niece like this, she felt very distressed.
Yun'er is the only daughter of her second brother. She has been chasing her and calling her aunt since she was a child. She almost grew up under her care.
Deep down, she also hopes to find a good match for her niece.
But Lu Qingyao's own situation was not much better. After returning to the capital, the noble ladies who used to be familiar with her would take a detour when they saw her.
Not to mention seeing Yun'er.
Although the Lu family had the emperor's decree pardoning their crimes, it was not a good idea for them to visit the family in a high-profile manner.
Moreover, the Lu family’s former glory is gone, even if my father and brother can make military achievements and be reinstated in the future.
That's all in the future, and very few people are willing to take the gamble.
This is a difficult thing.
But no matter how difficult it was, Lu Qingyao still couldn't say no.
I thought I'd ask first, "Second sister-in-law, what kind of family do you want to find for Yun'er?"
When Lin heard Lu Qingyao say this, she immediately felt confident.
From the day they were able to return to the capital, she believed that the Lu family would be able to make a comeback and her husband would definitely return with military merit.
The Lu family's former glory will return sooner or later.
If only we could wait until then.
Yun'er is still the young lady of the general's mansion, and she can marry anyone she wants.
It’s a pity that Yun’er is too old to wait for anyone.
Lin glanced at her daughter and said, "Yun'er, take your sister out to play for a while."
Jiang Miaomiao doesn't want to go out.
I always feel that my second aunt is making things difficult for my mother.
A Niang had just gotten divorced, and even the matchmaker was avoiding her, yet they still asked A Niang to arrange a marriage for them.
This isn't a good time to talk about marriage, okay.
But her mother gave her a look, and she followed Lu Zhiyun out reluctantly.
Waiting outside the door.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that her cousin Yun was quite cold. She was so cute, but she didn't even look at her.
Forget it, she is unlucky enough, so I won’t bother with her.
Pulling Lu Zhiyun's sleeve, he asked, "Cousin Yun, what kind of man do you like?"
"Cousin Yun, do you prefer literature or martial arts?"
"Cousin Yun, what age do you like?"
Lu Zhiyun glanced at her and said nothing.
I just felt that the little baby was very annoying, like a sparrow in a tree, chirping all the time.
She took a few steps back.
Stay away from the little brat.
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
This young lady changed her expression so quickly. She was still smiling when I pulled her away from the house just now.
Once the door is closed, he changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
This time, Jiujiu didn't come along, so the little girl had to lie down on the crack of the door and eavesdrop.
Seeing her daughter leave, Lin looked around and said, "Third sister, I heard from my mother-in-law that this house belongs to the Mu family, right?"
"Yes, I bought it from the Mu family." Lu Qingyao didn't know why she changed the subject and became concerned about the house.
Just wait quietly for her to speak.
Lin retracted her envious gaze and said, "Third sister, please stop lying to your sister-in-law. Everyone knows that you and Second Miss Mu are like sisters, and Old Madam Mu treats you like her own daughter. How could they be willing to take your money?"
Lu Qingyao patiently explained, "Jiang Yue and Madam Mu have been very kind to me, but even close brothers have to settle accounts. Besides, I owe her a lot. The Mu family refuses to take it, but I have to give it to them."
"Yes, that's right. I was confused." Lin said with a wry smile.
To be honest, she was quite envious of her sister-in-law.
From childhood to adulthood, I have always been pampered and loved by my parents and brothers.
She was not implicated when the Lu family was exiled.
There are also good friends like Mu Jiangyue who never leave you and give you shops and houses.
Taking her money would probably just save her self-esteem, so how could I really take it?
God is really unfair.
As a daughter of the Lu family, her sister-in-law was able to live comfortably with her children even after the divorce, living in such a nice house.
But her daughter Zhiyun even has difficulty finding a marriage.
Even my mother-in-law was unwilling to help.
No matter what, the Lu family owed it to her and her daughter, so she just asked her sister-in-law to help arrange a marriage.
It’s not a difficult task for my sister-in-law.
Thinking this way, she felt more confident.
Sitting next to Lu Qingyao, holding her hand, "Third sister, actually, the one I want you to help arrange a marriage for is not someone else, but the Mu family."
"Mu family?" Lu Qingyao looked at her in disbelief.
Who else could there be in the Mu family? Mu Yunji is not married yet.
"Second sister-in-law, you must be joking. The age difference between Duke Shen and Zhiyun is not a small one. He is only a few years younger than her father. Besides..."
Besides, the gap between the Mu family and the Lu family is too big now. Even if Mu Yunji himself agrees, Madam Mu and his aunt the Queen Mother may not agree.
Of course, Lu Qingyao didn't say this out loud.
Although it is true, it is still very hurtful.
However, Lin didn't think so. She said to Lu Qingyao, "Duke Shen is a little older, but he knows how to care for others. Our Yun'er likes this."
Lu Qingyao: ...
Just because Yun'er likes it doesn't mean Mu Yunji will like it too.
But there is no such forced sale.
I always feel that my second sister-in-law’s request is a bit unreasonable, even a bit outrageous.
She coughed dryly and reminded him, "Sister-in-law, our family hasn't been rehabilitated yet, and our father and brothers haven't been reinstated. We're not a good match, so how can we talk about this marriage? Besides, Duke Shen is currently leading an army abroad, so how can we talk about this?"
Lin smiled and said, "Third sister, the Lu family will be vindicated sooner or later. Regardless of family status, we still have you. Besides, I'm not saying that Ayun should marry Mu Yunji right now."
Lu Qingyao didn't understand what she meant at all.
What's the meaning?
Could it be that she should discuss the marriage now and wait for Mu Yunji to return triumphantly before marrying him?
If this were possible, his Duke's Mansion would probably have many wives and concubines long ago.
"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?"
Lin leaned closer to her and said, "Third sister, don't laugh at my sister-in-law for wanting to climb up the social ladder. Every mother cares about her children. I just think General Mu is a really good man. He's a family friend of our Lu family. He redressed my father-in-law's injustice and even sent people to escort us all the way back. He's truly a rare good man."
Lu Qingyao fully agreed with this.
But it's not necessary to pledge your life to me.
Lu Qingyao said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sure you've heard that Duke Shen even dared to refuse the Queen Mother's marriage proposal. The most important thing is that he is not in the capital."
Lin waved her hands repeatedly, "Third sister, you misunderstood. What I meant was that you should talk to Madam Mu and take Yun'er as a concubine first, and then quietly send her to the Duke. When she gives birth to a child in the future and my father-in-law and the other gentlemen return with their meritorious service, Yun'er will naturally become the Duke's wife."
Be a concubine?
Lu Qingyao couldn't believe her ears.
In the past, my second sister-in-law prided herself on being noble and would never say something like letting her daughter become a concubine.
It seems that he suffered a lot during exile and even his temperament changed.
