"Aunt, what good news is there?"
When Sister-in-law Jiang heard there was good news, her eyes lit up. The family was currently troubled by her husband's older sister's situation.
"Sister-in-law, I came here today about Lanlan's marriage. Someone asked me about Lanlan, and she's really a good catch, so I rushed back to let you know."
Aunt Jiang genuinely thought the conditions were excellent; if it worked out, Lanlan would be incredibly lucky.
"aunt!"
Upon hearing that it was her marriage proposal, Jiang Lan let out a shy cry, and her tears stopped.
"Aunt, what kind of family are they?"

Aunt Jiang also thought the Zhou family was well-off, but unfortunately, they had their eyes on their little niece. The Zhou family's son was going to take the imperial examinations, and the Jiang family had two scholars who had passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations, which was why they had their eye on them. Besides, Lanlan was prettier than their own Meimei!
Upon hearing Aunt Jiang's words, the people in the room had different expressions and fell silent for a moment, because even Sister-in-law Jiang, who had been excited, thought of Jiang Qi, who was about to divorce and return home.
Aunt Jiang was puzzled and didn't know why her sister-in-law was unhappy. Lanlan was also pale-faced, and she was in a state of confusion.
