“Huan Er, i ca here today because there’s an important matter 1 want to ask you.”

“Just tell what it is, Elder Brother. 1 need to rest.”

Before Jiang Peihuan could reply, Xiao Nanye, sitting next to her, spoke up first.

However, upon hearing this, Jiang Changbai shook his head and whispered, “No one else can handle this matter except for Huan Er.”

“Elder Brother, tell , what is it?”

“I want to marry Xin Er.”

“You want to marry Xin Er?”

Jiang Peihuan spoke with certainty.

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Changbai nodded.

Seeing his nod, Jiang Peihuan paused for a few seconds before continuing, “Elder Brother, although grandmother loves , she might not agree when it cos to your marriage. Considering the matters of our third aunt and third uncle, and now you wanting to marry Xin Er, she might not be able to accept it easily. What will you do if grandmother refuses no matter what?”

After hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jiang Changbai fell silent.

After a long while, he whispered, “Huan Er, to be honest, I’ve made up my mind. Regardless of whether grandmother agrees or not, I will marry Xin Er. If she supports and Xin Er, I would be eternally grateful. But if she doesn’t, 1 will have to apologize to her.”

“What will you do to thank then?”

Seeing the smile on Jiang Peihuan’s face, Jiang Changbai also smiled, eting her gaze. He said, “If you can get grandmother’s approval for my marriage to Xin Er, I will always heed your advice in the future. Whatever you ask of , 1 won’t refuse.”

“You better rember what you promised,” she teased.

Two hour later, Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye headed to the Jiang family residence.

The residence was much smaller than the General’s Mansion, but the largest courtyard in the back was reserved for Old Madam Jiang.

When Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye entered the courtyard, Old Madam Jiang was chatting with Liu Xiu.

Xue Yan was busy, and Zhou Rongfang was taking care of her children. The only person available to accompany Old Madam Jiang in the backyard was Liu Xiu.

Initially, Old Madam Jiang didn’t like Liu Xiu much.

However, after everything that happened, Old Madam Jiang had changed her mind. Now, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along well.

Seeing Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye, Old Madam Jiang smiled warmly. “What brings you two here today?”

“How’s the baby in your belly?”

As she spoke, Old Madam Jiang couldn’t resist gently touching Jiang Peihuan’s stomach.

Seeing the concern in Old Madam Jiang’s eyes, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “Don’t worry, grandmother. The baby is doing well.”

“That’s good. In just over half a year, I’ll beco a great-grandmother.”

“Grandmother, the reason I ca today is on soone else’s behalf.”

“Oh? Whose behalf?”

“My elder brother.”

Hearing Old Madam Jiang’s response, Jiang Peihuan didn’t hesitate and began to speak.

Upon hearing the na Jiang Changbai, the eyes of the old madam flickered.

Sitting nearby, Liu Xiu seed to recall sothing, revealing a complex expression in her eyes.

“Grandmother, Elder Brother said he wants to start a family and marry a sister-in-law for .”

“Your elder brother is not young anymore, and it’s about ti for him to get married. This is good news.”

“That’s what I think too, but the girl Elder Brother wants to marry needs your approval, Grandmother.”

“He wants to marry Xin Er, doesn’t he?”

Before Jiang Peihuan could continue, the old madam interrupted.

Seeing the old madam’s directness, a hint of worry appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes. However, she nodded with a smile, “Nothing can be hidden from you, Grandmother.”

The old madam sighed deeply and then laughed, looking at Jiang Peihuan, “My dear, don’t think 1 don’t know what’s on your mind.”

“Did you all assu that I would oppose this marriage?”

“Initially, 1 did oppose it, but that girl has saved my life twice. Even if I had reservations, I should let them go.”

“Grandmother… does that an you agree?”

Hearing the old madam’s words, Jiang Peihuan was full of surprise.

Sitting nearby, Liu Xiu’s eyes widened, filled with excitent.

However, the old madam glared at Jiang Peihuan, “Despite my usual affection for you, in critical tis, you still side with that boy Changbai.”

“Nevermind, call that boy over…”

“Grandmother?”

Before the old madam could finish, Jiang Changbai rushed in. After kneeling and paying respects to the old madam, he looked at her with gratitude, “Thank you, Grandmother, for your blessing.”

The old madam originally wanted to maintain her stern deanor, but seeing Jiang Changbai’s joy, a smile appeared in her eyes.

She said, “Get up. Xin Er is a good girl; you must treat her well in the future.”

“Yes.”

“Yu Zhen, bring the things I prepared.”

“Yes.”

Nanny had been standing quietly on the side. After hearing the old madam’s words, she went inside. Monts later, she returned holding a large wooden box.

Seeing the box in Nanny Xu’s hands, the old madam whispered, “Give it to him.”

“Grandmother, what is this?”

Holding the box handed to him by Nanny Xu, Jiang Changbai looked at the old madam with puzzlent.

“Open it and take a look.”

Upon the old madam’s instruction, Jiang Changbai opened the box. The mont he opened it, he was stunned. The entire box was filled with land deeds and silver notes.

“Grandmother, 1 can’t accept this. This is your personal savings; how can I take it?”

“If I give it to you, you take it.”

“After the wedding, you’ll be an adult. Consider this a wedding gift from your grandmother.”

“Elder Brother, I’ve successfully completed the task for you.. Shouldn’t you share half of what Grandmother gave you with ?”
