The wind in the courtyard gently swept by, blowing away the thick hair covering Jiang Wan's eyebrows, revealing a pair of bright eyes. Xiao Jiang happened to catch this glimpse and was slightly surprised, but as the wind passed, Jiang Wan's hair once again heavily covered her face. Xiao Jiang carefully observed Jiang Wan for a few moments, seeing that she still had the same wooden expression as before, so he put aside the doubts that had momentarily arisen in his mind.

  "She smiled and said to Jiang Wanru: 'Third Miss, congratulations, your marriage has been arranged by Master and Madam. Next year at this time will be the perfect timing for you to get married. Madam has been anxious about your marriage for two years, she has looked at many families but hasn't found one that meets her expectations. Even when the young master of the Wang family proposed to you, Madam was finally relieved and said to Master 'Marriage is predestined by heaven.' Third Miss, I heard that the young master of the Wang family is handsome and talented. Congratulations on this perfect match.'"

  Jiang Wanru was shocked by the news, her face still trying to maintain a calm expression. Jiyan's face turned pale, looking at Xiaojiang's house with a panicked expression, she seemed more like the person involved, immediately rushing to the table and asking: "Xiaojiang auntie, is your young lady going to enter the Wangfu as a concubine?" Xiaojiang auntie glanced at her, smiling and saying: "Don't talk nonsense. Your young lady will naturally become the legitimate wife. I heard that besides two close people by the young prince's side, there are no other concubines."

  Jiang Wanru clenched her fist in pain, looked up at Xiao Jiang's house, and replied indifferently: "Oh." After that, she lowered her eyes again. Xiao Jiang's house did not see Jiang Wanru's excitement, but only saw her dullness. Hearing her faint "oh", looking at Jiang Wanru's appearance, it seemed that she would no longer speak. She thought of Madam Jiang's instructions, suppressed the unspeakable feelings in her heart towards Jiang Wanru, smoothed out her expression, and smiled again: "Third Miss, Jiyuan is your personal attendant, naturally he will follow you to Lian Wangfu."

  "Madam means that she doesn't want to go over the Jiang family's rules, so she can only follow the example of Second Miss's dowry and give you three rooms' worth of people. As for the maids by your side, there are still five missing, which will be made up in these two days. Madam originally wanted to personally select the servants for your three rooms, but later thought that she should listen to your opinion instead. She's having me come over to ask Third Miss's thoughts?" Little Jiang's family finished speaking and carefully observed Jiang Wanruo's expression, seeing that she still had her eyes cast down, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

  Jiang Wanru was slightly stunned by these words, but Ji Yan leaned in close to her ear and repeated the words of the Xiao Jiang family. Only then did Jiang Wanru seem to understand, looking up at the Xiao Jiang family member and saying: "The third house, is it? I only know the Mu Gen family, the Ji Yan family, and I've also heard of the Shi Tou family. If I had to choose, I would choose these three families. I recognize them, so later on, when we're outside, I won't have to worry about not recognizing them. Having Ji Yan by my side is enough for me, I don't like it when there are too many people in the courtyard."

  Jiang Wanru stood up, looking impatient, and said to Jiyuan: "I'm going in, I've talked a lot, my mouth is dry." Jiang Wanru turned around and walked towards the room, leaving Jiyuan to hastily apologize to Xiaojiang's family, saying: "Aunt Xiaojiang, our young lady didn't mean anything else. She's grateful that Master and Mistress are thinking of her and arranged such a good marriage for her. And thank you for coming over personally to discuss this matter. The young lady has always been straightforward by nature, so please don't take offense at her. Actually, the young lady is quite easy-going, as long as she wants something, just give it to her, and everything will be fine."

  Kojima's household staff, upon hearing Yoshigoto's words, looked at her with a mixture of sympathy and concern. Kojima's household staff glanced at the closed door and lowered their voice to say: "Yoshigoto, if you don't want to follow her, I can help you speak to the mistress, maybe we can change it." Yoshigoto hastily shook her head and replied in a low voice: "The young lady doesn't like having many people around her, if I didn't follow her over there, she would have no one by her side. Fortunately, the young lady is not fond of bothering with people, she won't hit me or scold me, never mind me."

  Xiao Jiang aunt, you are a good person, thank you for your kindness. My parents and brother told me after hearing that the young lady's engagement was settled, they were willing to be with me. As for Madame, please help us speak well of our young lady, just look at how she has been behaving herself all these years. Xiao Jiang aunt, this marriage is too noble, won't there be any other problems?

  Xiao Jiang's family listened to her words and responded smoothly: "This is a marriage arranged by the old master himself, what could be wrong with it? Such a good marriage, if not for the old master's face, would not have fallen on your family's young lady. Alas, I didn't expect that stupid person still had such good fortune, marrying even more honorably than the eldest miss. Next year at this time, we will all have to respectfully address her as Madame Lian. Good words, these days, you should advise your family's young lady to learn from the eldest miss's dignified behavior." Jiyan smiled and nodded.

  Ji Yan sent off the three people from Xiao Jiang's house, she gently closed the courtyard gate, let out a soft sigh, and walked to the door of Jiang Wanruo's room. She knocked on her door and said: "Miss, may I come in?" Jiang Wanruo responded with a gentle "hmm". Ji Yan pushed open the door and saw that she had already lit candles, standing in front of the table, dipping her brush in water, writing big characters. Ji Yan walked over, stood where she wouldn't block the light, watching as she wrote a big character with force, then picked up a dry cloth to wipe away the water marks before immediately rewriting another big character.

  When the gate creaked open, Jiyan's mother's cheerful voice came in: "Jiyan." Jiyan immediately ran out of the room and into the courtyard. She took a deep breath and opened the gate wider, then heard her mother say cheerfully: "Jiyan, today the lady had someone add a new dish for Miss to eat." Jiyan pulled on her excited mother's sleeve, shook her head at once, and said softly: "Xiao Jiang just left, she told Miss that the marriage has been arranged, it's with the young prince of the Lian Wang Fu, and Miss is the official wife."

  Miss Ji looked at Ji Yan with an incredulous face and said in a low voice, "Miss is better than other misses in our hearts, but outsiders don't know about Miss's goodness. Moreover, the Wang Fu, that is the only non-royal surname prince's mansion in Ning Dynasty, that family can even match the imperial princess. Ji Yan, you must have misheard, could it be that it was a side branch of the Lian family from the Lian Wang Fu who told you?"

  Jiang Wanru called from inside the house: "Ji Yan, you and Auntie put the dishes in the courtyard, I'll clean up the table and come out to eat." Ji Yan quickly replied: "Okay." She took a dish box from her mother's hand and gestured for her mother to put down another large dish box on the table in the courtyard.

  Jiang Wanru stepped out of the room, and Ji Yan's mother welcomed her with a smile. The first sentence she said was: "Miss, isn't Ji Yan too young to have heard wrongly about your family's words? She said that your marriage has been arranged, and it's with the young prince of the Wang Manor?" Jiang Wanru looked up at her and nodded, saying: "Ji Yan didn't hear wrongly, it is indeed with the young prince of the Wang Manor." Ji Yan's mother was shocked upon hearing this, and she stared at Jiang Wanru, asking: "How could Master and Mistress arrange such a high-ranking marriage for you?"

  Jiang Wanru glanced at the astonished Ji Yan's mother and said in a soft voice, "Auntie, let Fang Zheng not disturb others, think of a way to listen to the people around Young Master, how they talk about this marriage. Most importantly, I want to know Young Master's reaction to this marriage." Jiang Wanru knew that among the masters of the Jiang family, only Jiang Wenlun was somewhat rational, and probably could only hear some true facts from him.

  After Jiyu left, Jiyu looked at Jiang Wanru with a calm expression and asked: "Miss, are you afraid?" Jiang Wanru looked back at her and sighed: "Afraid, it's useless. It's better not to be afraid. When the car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way. Heaven won't cut off all roads for people." Jiyu nodded after hearing this and said: "Miss is not afraid, then I'm not afraid either. I'll accompany Miss."
