Chapter 1299 Visit the War Prince’s Mansion to Propose Marriage
"Mother, what time is it now? How can you still have the mind to talk about these things?"
Situtu Yongjie expressed great dissatisfaction with the Old Madam’s actions, constantly talking about how much she loved and cared for her grandson, yet at this time, she was actually considering how to marry off Xuexue.
During this period, he was somewhat aware of the discord between the Old Madam and Xuexue. He knew that sometimes the Old Madam would deliberately suggest marrying her off to put her at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, in this period, the War Prince was seriously ill, and everyone said he wouldn’t survive the New Year. At this point, the Old Madam actually suggested marrying her to the War Prince; wasn’t that pushing Xuexue into a fire pit?
"Jiejie, you’re really foolish. The War Prince needs someone to bring him luck right now. If Xuexue marries over, she’ll find a good home. If this brings luck, and the War Prince recovers, wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?"
Regarding the Old Madam’s words, Situtu Yongjie hesitated. Indeed, Moli Country needed the War Prince to hold the fort so the neighboring country wouldn’t dare to invade.
Therefore, nothing could happen to the War Prince, and he understood this truth.
However, with the Prince currently gravely ill, he couldn’t get this out of his mouth.
Seeing Situtu Yongjie’s hesitating look, the Old Madam grew impatient: "Jiejie, don’t hesitate any longer. If Xuexue’s matter is settled with the Prince, then Zhizhi’s issue can be easily resolved, and the General’s Mansion will have continuity. Do you even understand what your mother means?"
The Old Madam, in order to achieve her goal of a double benefit, committed her heart and soul to analyze with Situtu Yongjie.
"Is it really okay to make such a hasty decision about Xuexue’s lifelong affair? Why don’t I go ask for her opinion?" This daughter, having wandered among the populace for over ten years and suffered greatly, even though she’s now returned to the Capital and has her own business, the hardships she endured in Mo Family Village are well known to Situtu Yongjie, and he always felt guilty towards her.
When the Old Madam heard this, her face darkened: "From ancient times, marriage has always been determined by parental decisions and matchmakers’ words. Jiejie, you shouldn’t spoil her too much; it will only harm her."
