Chapter 592: Chapter 593 Choice_1 Chapter 592: Chapter 593 Choice_1 “Lady, you’re quite sothing, you’ve nearly matched those two without a fuss,” Qingya was also anxious. “Madam Liu still has so affection for Mr. Zhao, it’s just that without piercing through that paper window, nothing can be done! Otherwise, just let Mr. Zhao speak out clearly,” Qingya added.
Muniang shook her head, “That won’t do, my mother might have a fondness for Mr. Zhao, but deep down she resists the idea of remarrying. She has long said she would remain devoted to my father for life. Although she now harbors so feelings for Mr. Zhao, I’m afraid she doesn’t even know it herself. If we were to make it clear now, she would only feel ashad, ashad of my deceased father, and ashad of herself. She might actually suppress the budding feelings in her heart and distance herself from Mr. Zhao instead.”
“Then what should we do? We can’t talk about it openly, and dragging it out like this isn’t good either,” Qingya said.
“We’ll wait for the right mont, there will be an opportunity. This ti we must make it happen in one fell swoop!” Muniang clenched her fist, setting her expectations firmly in her heart.
Suddenly, they heard a maid knocking lightly on the door. Qingya asked, “What is it?”
“A letter from the lord has arrived.”
Muniang quickly got up to open the door and began to open the letter.
Qingya laughed, “When it cos to news about the lord, my lady is more nervous than anyone.”
Muniang gave her a piqued glance before intently reading the letter, then she smiled, “He’ll be back in a few days.”
“That really is great news.”
But whether Yu Jin would return with him was uncertain. The letter ntioned that Yu Jin’s injuries were healing well but required so ti to recuperate. As for how long Nangong Anan and Yu Jin had stayed in the Daqian Dynasty, it was indeed a bit too long, and if the Qilian Kingdom grew suspicious, it would be troubleso.
Muniang shook her head, not wanting to ponder these matters anymore. She simply changed into another outfit and headed out to Madam Liu’s.
Madam Liu’s ho was just next door. When they originally moved to Qinghua City, they bought neighboring houses. However, Madam Liu was not in, so Muniang went straight to the Embroidery House.
She was indeed busy there. As soon as Muniang entered, she said with a playful scold, “It’s just like you to be here all day, I can never find you at ho.”
Madam Liu set down her work and laughed, “The business of the Embroidery House is too busy, I must keep a close eye on things.”
“There are plenty of people to do the work, why must you do everything yourself and end up wearing yourself out?”
Madam Liu knew that Muniang did not co to her for no reason, there must be a matter to discuss. Talking outside wasn’t convenient, so she invited her into the inner room.
“I don’t trust the work of others; doing it myself is better. Besides, you entrusted with such a big business, I can’t afford to be negligent,” Madam Liu said.
Muniang knew full well that this was just Madam Liu’s personality and didn’t try to persuade her further, rely laughing as she said, “And you talk about Tianniu, I think she’s very much like you.”
Madam Liu scolded with a laugh, “Did that girl go complaining to you again? She really doesn’t give people peace of mind.”
“She’s still young this year. Don’t push her too hard, or she might start avoiding n entirely, and then she’ll be even less eager to marry. I’ve advised her, too. She said she only wants to marry soone she likes; eventually, she’ll et her destined one.”
Madam Liu sighed, “Worry is eating at my heart. She’s fourteen now but not settling down at all, always running wild outdoors. What if no man wants to marry her when it’s ti?”
Muniang replied, “Auntie, you’re worrying too much. Tianniu is such a girl that if she can marry, she’ll find a man who’s definitely not lacking, and the man will not be inferior to her in capability. I’m actually quite positive about her marriage prospects.”
Tianniu is smart, and everyone knows this. She naturally wouldn’t fancy an ordinary man.
“It’s just, if she cos across a good man and takes a fancy to him, but he doesn’t like her wild nature,” Madam Liu laughed and scolded.
“That’s not necessarily true. If Tianniu really finds soone she likes, she’ll have to change that wild nature into a docile and gentle lady. Don’t believe ? You just wait and see, Auntie.”
“What you say makes sense, and you understand her better than I do. But if you see soone suitable, do tell about it. Arranging a match would be nice.”
Thoughts of the Zhao Brothers suddenly crossed Muniang’s mind, so she said, “I did et a fine young man who’s nineteen this year. He’s been delayed because he spent three years in mourning for his mother. His family is quite well-off; they’re rchants. He has a gentle nature and is likely considerate after marriage. Oh, and he has a younger brother, sixteen this year, a Scholar, no less, planning to go to the Capital City to pursue official ranks. Auntie, I’m not exaggerating, but the two of them were in mourning for the past three years, which is why they haven’t been betrothed yet. Now that they’ve ended their mourning period, surely countless families are hoping to marry their daughters to them. That younger brother will definitely be most sought after, with such a bright future ahead. If Auntie’s interested, I could bridge the gap sooner rather than later.”
Madam Liu’s eyes lit up, but she shook her head, “One who serves as an official will naturally be off to the Capital City. I can’t bear to let Tianniu go so far away. Not to ntion, n who climb the ranks are bound to have multiple wives and concubines. The Capital City is attractive, and in the future, he might neglect his first wife. Let’s forget about that one. The eldest brother, on the other hand, seems much better, with the right kind of temperant, soone who can live contentedly.”
Muniang laughed. She knew Madam Liu would make that choice. When other families consider their daughters’ marriages, they look for wealth and status, but Madam Liu sees things differently, looking for a stable life instead. In Muniang’s opinion, Zhao Jiangshui wasn’t really the best choice. He was ambitious, after all. A man aiming for official ranks is naturally ambitious, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But such n don’t often see family as their priority. The higher they rise, the greater the temptations. To Muniang, he wasn’t an ideal match.
When Nangong Anan sobered up and went from being a simple-minded person to the exalted identity of the War God Prince, Muniang actually resisted it. His world suddenly beca so vast, she couldn’t even be sure of her place in his heart, leading to not a few conflicts. Thinking back on it now, Muniang still feels troubled.
However, Muniang was clear-minded enough to know that eting soone like Yu Ze was already a stroke of good fortune. Now she was absolutely certain that no matter how vast Yu Ze’s world was, he would always value her the most.
But, how many n in the world could be like Yu Ze?
“Then I’ll go talk to them and have Tianniu et Zhao Jianghe. They are eager to find a bride now, who knows, it might really work out.”
Madam Liu laughed and said, “That sounds excellent. I trust your judgnt, but Tianniu is stubborn. I’m afraid she won’t be willing to et him no matter what we say this ti.”
