Chapter 731: Chapter 730: 730: Mother's Home, Husband's Home

Jiang Ning patted her hand reassuringly and laughed, “Whether their relationship is good or not, it won’t affect anything. It’s not a bad thing that they value our Jiang family.”

“That’s right, for marriages nowadays, the most important thing is family background, followed by character and appearance,” Aunt Liu crisply remarked. “Little Six, you seem not too keen on this? This is a royal engagement granted by the Emperor, and we cannot refuse.”

“No, I’m not unwilling, it’s just…”

Jiang Yan lowered her head slowly, not daring to voice her inner fear and unease.

The matchmaker of this marriage is the Emperor, and under the heavens, who dares to refuse?

Lin Zizi remained calm, Aunt Liu’s voice had a slight sourness, and Aunt Bai was left with only happiness.

She originally thought her daughter was ordinary-looking, and also born out of wedlock, so as a mother, she naturally worried about her daughter’s marriage. If she were to be chosen after entering the palace, it would be a great misfortune. If she was not chosen, where would she find a suitable spouse when she returned home?

Unexpectedly, after just one meeting, the prestigious, young, and handsome Prince of Zhao had taken a liking to her daughter.

So, it’s true that girls should have more opportunities to show up in high-level, grand occasions.

After all, even great wine fears a deep alley.

The elder generation had their thoughts, but only Jiang Ning could sense the confusion and anxiety of the innocent and honest Sixth Sister.

She patted Jiang Yan’s hand and smiled, “Fifth Daughter should be arriving soon, let’s go ahead and see.”

Jiang Yan nodded with her head down and followed her out.

The snow was still falling.

The sky was gloomy and cold.

Far away, they could hear the crackling of firecrackers and the laughter of children.

This chill added a bit of festivity to the atmosphere.

Everyone at home knew that Jiang Ning’s legs were not in good condition and she was afraid of the cold, Jiang Yan subconsciously helped Jiang Ning and walked silently at her side.

“Sixth Sister, if you don’t want this, I can help you think of a way,” Jiang Ning reached out to catch the falling snowflakes and spoke slowly and softly.

“Huh?” Jiang Yan seemed to suddenly awaken, but she shook her head instinctively, “No, it’s not that… actually, does it really make much difference who I marry?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

To her, whether her parents arranged the marriage for her or it was the Emperor-ordained marriage, it was all just a stranger whom she never knew or understood.

At least, she had seen the Prince of Zhao before. He had a noble identity, a handsome appearance, and was gentle and courteous to everyone.

No matter from which angle, he was impeccable.

He could match any proud, noble girl in Chang’an City.

Jiang Yan recalled the appearance of the Prince of Zhao in her mind and sighed softly, “Seventh Sister, since we’re sisters, I won’t hide anything from you. I’m not unwilling, but I feel I’m not worthy of him. I’m worried that there’s some hidden plot behind all this that may be detrimental to you and our Jiang family.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “People say that the Sixth Miss of the Jiang family is like a wooden figure, always silent. But you actually understand what’s going on inside.”

Jiang Yan hung her head.

The few freckles on her cheeks made her look somewhat adorable.

“Actually, you don’t have to worry about this.”

“Why?” Jiang Yan looked up.

“Even if there is some issue between Prince Zhao and the Crown Prince, regardless of their life-and-death struggle, what does that have to do with you?”

“But…” Jiang Yan bit her lip until it turned white, “A woman marries and follows her husband. At that time, should I help my own family or my husband’s family?”

Jiang Ning burst into laughter.

Jiang Yan looked at her in confusion, her amber eyes showing a bit of helplessness.

“You haven’t even gotten married yet, and you’re already thinking about issues between your family and your husband’s family?”

Jiang Yan’s face turned beet red in an instant.

Jiang Ning spoke seriously, “There are no smooth-sailing lives. We must always face various choices, and some things can change your life forever. So, think about it.”
