Yuwen Ming’s eyes suddenly widened upon hearing this.
She stared straight at Nanny Song, "Nanny..."
"Commandery Princess, don’t worry. Let this old servant slowly explain to you!" Nanny Song quickly comforted her.
Yuwen Ming took a deep breath and then forced a smile, "Nanny, I’m not anxious. You can speak slowly, I am not in a rush!"
However, her trembling hands betrayed her emotions.
If he didn’t like her and had soone dear to his heart, why did he co to propose marriage?
Is this the conduct of a scholarly and prestigious family?
"It is said that the eldest young master has a beloved lady and even eloped with her. However, the Ma Family found them and brought them back. Now he is confined at Ma’s residence. This old servant boldly guesses, he might still try to escape!"
Ma Wendan...
Yuwen Ming quickly cald down, "Nanny, do you think a person like this could be my ideal match?"
Nanny Song remained silent.
"No, a man with his heart set on soone else can never be my ideal match. He would always think that I have taken the place of his beloved, feeling that it was I who separated them. But he wouldn’t consider that they are rely aiming to climb high branches. If I were not the young lady of the Princess Residence, would they marry ? No, they would cancel the engagent without hesitation. Such a person, I am unwilling and unwilling to marry!"
Yuwen Ming spoke resolutely.
Nanny Song knew that Yuwen Ming was serious.
"So, Commandery Princess ans we should return to the Capital City?"
Yuwen Ming shook her head, "Nanny, I cannot return. If I go back, my grandmother would be heartbroken and distressed. The Princess Residence cannot afford this sha. Now I think, since Ma Wendan has soone he loves and intends to elope, why not fulfill his wish and let him achieve his dream, while I marry soone who is willing to marry !"
"This..."
It was too shocking! Marriage affairs are dictated by parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words. How could soone change the groom at the last minute?
Nanny Song had never heard of such a thing.
"Nanny, would Grandmother be willing to see marry such a person if she were here? You have seen it yourself, how Madam Ma, my future mother-in-law, spoke that day. She said Ma Wendan was filial and was caring for the Ma old madam at ho, which is why he couldn’t go to the Capital City. But is there really no one else in the Ma Family?"
"No, there are many people in the Ma Family. Perhaps at that mont, Ma Wendan had already eloped, and the Ma Family, fearing the marriage would fall through, ca up with the lie of Ma old madam’s critical illness to hasten the marriage!"
Nanny Song nodded.
One must admit that Yuwen Ming’s analysis was very accurate.
She had always known that Yuwen Ming was a clever girl, personally taught by the State Princess.
Even as an illegitimate daughter, she was quite capable and not inferior to the legitimate daughters.
Compared to other young ladies in the residence, she was definitely superior.
She just kept a low profile and never showed off.
"So, what do you an, Commandery Princess?"
"Nanny, instead of Ma Wendan, I will not marry Ma Wendan. I want to marry..." Yuwen Ming thought of the eting that day.
Ma Wenbin was tall and lean, scholarly with a handso appearance, looking gentle and pleasing to the eye.
At least at first glance, she didn’t dislike him.
Just didn’t know his na?
"Who?"
"That person I saw at the Princess Residence that day, he is an illegitimate son of the Ma Family. Nanny, you think about sending soone imdiately to find him, bring him to see , and I will personally ask him!"
Nanny Song saw Yuwen Ming’s resolution and finally agreed to her plan.
But she also knew, Yuwen Ming must have other coping strategies and she had to support her.
The night was like a hook.
The Ma Residence was bustling, with a group of Ma Family young n drinking together.
Ma Wenbin sat aside, holding a wine glass but not drinking a sip for a long ti...
