Chapter 117 - 116: Thank You, Young Man
To avoid any mistakes, Mother Yang asked one more question, "Eldest Lady, what should the young miss do if she encounters Sixth Master Rong? Should she also avoid him?"
Lady Liu pondered for a moment and said, "When facing Sixth Master Rong, remember to maintain the etiquette of a maiden from a sheltered background, and make sure Sixth Master Rong knows that our eldest miss is a modest and virtuous lady who abides by the proper etiquette. Hmm, after the greetings, she should excuse herself, which will make her look like a well-mannered lady from a respectable family."
With this, Mother Yang was one hundred percent certain that the family indeed had plans to marry the eldest miss to Sixth Master Rong. She now had a direction for her future actions, at least not fearing making mistakes. As for whether Sixth Master Rong had a family, and whether the eldest miss would be his wife, it was for the Old Master and the Eldest Lady to consider. Being a servant, she naturally had no right to think too much, let alone to speak out of turn.
Lady Liu continued with her instructions, "As for Wanwan, don’t say too much for now. When there’s a spare moment, I will explain it to her slowly."
Mother Yang promptly acknowledged.
Luckily, Ye Xinyan was unaware of what the Liang family and servants were thinking. If she knew, she would probably laugh her head off.
The fact that Jinrong was the emperor’s son, a prince by official decree, meant that even if he were to take a concubine into the prince’s mansion, it would be different from an ordinary family. Prince Yu’s concubines would have ranks and needed approval from the royal family. How could they afford to be choosy?
What the Liang family did not know was that while they were naively contemplating getting attached to Sixth Master Rong, Lady Liu and Mother Yang had some doubts about Sixth Master Rong’s identity. Meanwhile, Prefect of Yuyuan Prefecture Zhou Bingyi, who was in on the true situation, was very seriously considering the idea of making family connections with His Highness Prince Yu. And Prefecture Governor Zhou was very clear about his daughter’s position, as long as she could enter the prince’s mansion, he wouldn’t dare negotiate with His Highness Prince Yu over his daughter’s status.
