Wenren Zong said, âIn that case, Iâll have to trouble my mother to go to the Prime Ministerâs Mansion to propose the marriage.â
Madam Wenren sighed, âI still feel that this isnât quite right.â
Wenren Zongâs expression was serious, âMother knows my character. Whoever I marry, I will treat her well and take care of her with all my heart. I will never let her suffer any grievances.â
âIâm not worried about that, but what about Prince Yuâ¦?â
âPrince Yu doesnât want her anymore.â
âIâm not a stickler for such things. This concerns your lifelong happiness.
Think it through carefully.â
âI have never made a wrong decision. Just like when I make judgments in the court, I have never wronged a good person, nor have I spared a guilty one.â âYes, you are a good official, and your judgments are top-notch. But this is about getting married. You are still young. Donât make hasty decisions.â âMother, please prepare to propose.â
Seeing his unwavering attitude, Madam Wenren decided not to persuade him further.
After she returned home, she discussed it with her family members. And surprisingly, everyone agreed unconditionally.
The Wenren family unanimously agreed to Wenren Thirteen marrying the third daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Ning.
This was understandable.
After all, the Wenren family was practically tied to the King of Chen, the second prince.
Marrying Jiang Ning would not only draw in the considerable power of the Jiang family but also strike a blow to their mortal enemy, Prince Yu.
It was a win-win situation.
Moreover, with Wenren Zongâs insistence, Madam Wenren eventually conformed to the majority and made up her mind. She began to make preparations and asked a respectable noblewoman to propose to the Jiang family.
The Jiang family didnât expect the Wenren family to agree so quickly.
It was quite surprising.
Wenren Zong had a high status and was talented. His judgments in court had even been praised by the emperor.
Such a talented young man would be eligible to marry a princess.
Yet he wanted to marry the divorced wife of Prince Yu.
Were the Jiang girls really that attractive?
After Prince Yu had married Jiang Ning, Wenren Thirteen immediately stepped in.
Many ladies gritted their teeth in envy.
But there was nothing they could do.
It was the coupleâs choice to be together.
Who could blame them for having good parents?
Jiang Ning was enjoying the coolness of the ice basin in her room when Jiang Yi came to tell her about the Wenren familyâs marriage proposal.
She almost dropped the cake in her hand.
âProposing marriage?â
âYes.â Jiang Yi smiled, looking very pleased, âCompared to Prince Yu, I admire Wenren Thirteen more. He is upright, and his judgments are divine. He will be a good match.â
âIâm pregnant now. How can I get married?â
Jiang Ning felt that this world was a little confusing.
Everyone said that the Wenren family was a prestigious noble family, and Wenren Thirteen was so outstanding. Wouldnât it be better for him to marry an equally well-matched young lady?
Instead, he wanted a divorced and pregnant woman like her. If you said he didnât have ulterior motives, only a ghost would believe you.
Jiang Yi said, âThe Wenren family is very decent, and they have never been involved in anything scandalous.â
âI wonât marry him.â
âSeventh sister, are you still thinking about Prince Yu?â
âThink about him my ass.â
âDonât use foul language.â Jiang Yi pressed down on her head, âPrince Yu is too much to bully, driving you back home while youâre still pregnant and then sending the divorce letter. Weâll marry someone even better, and let him know that Jiang familyâs daughters never have trouble getting married.â
Jiang Ning shook her head, âI wonât stoop to that level. Itâs childish. Iâm not going anywhere. Iâll stay at home and give birth to this child.â
âThen why did you go for the matchmaking?â
âAunt said she would take me out for a walk. I didnât know it was for matchmaking beforehand. Otherwise, I definitely wouldnât have gone.â Jiang Ning shook his sleeve, âThird Brother, I donât want to get married..â
