Chapter 1413 - 1420: Bestow Marriage (1)
First thing in the morning, Marquis of Jian’an was preparing to go to court. Before leaving, he once again confirmed with his wife: "Are you certain Yun’er wants to marry The Prince of Qing Luo Kingdom?"
Madam Wu said, "How can I, who gave birth to my daughter, be fooled about her feelings? The moment anyone mentions The Prince of Qing Luo Kingdom, her face turns red, and her eyes sparkle. If that’s not having feelings for someone, what is?"
Marquis of Jian’an nodded, "Good, I will report this matter to The Emperor today." After dressing in his court attire, he took the jade scepter and hurriedly left for court.
Having sent her husband off, Madam Wu was about to check on her daughter when a maid on duty from outside reported: "Madam, your sister-in-law has arrived."
The sister-in-law mentioned by the maid was the eldest sister of Marquis of Jian’an, Eldest Madam of the Duke Li Guo’s Household, Lady Wu. She had rushed over first thing in the morning without the need to ask why. Madam Wu did not wish to meet her, even less to hear her propose a marriage for Mo Zili, but out of respect for the sister-in-law relationship, she had to make time to see her.
"Enough, please invite my sister-in-law to come in and sit!"
When Eldest Madam was invited into the Warm Pavilion, she saw her sister-in-law sitting on a babu bed, sipping tea, seemingly lost in thought, gazing at a celestial sphere bottle on Duobao Pavilion, painted with carved flowers and colorful birds. Lady Wu’s footsteps grew heavier, and only then did her sister-in-law lift her head.
"Oh, what wind brought my sister here? Look at me, preoccupied with making arrangements for Yun’er’s bridal gifts, I even forgot to welcome you at the entrance."
Lady Wu, astute as ever, understood the meaning behind her sister-in-law’s words. Pausing briefly, she laughed and said, "Does this mean that my niece is about to be joyfully married?"
