Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 159: Transmigrated into an Unlucky Marquis (10)

Mrs. Wang was stunned. "But, but if that's the case, what about your aunt's family? They have contributed a lot just to repairing the garden."

Speaking of this, Jia Yuanchun really is worthy of growing up with Lady Jia, and her ideas are quite similar to hers.

"It's not like our family hasn't helped the Xue family before. We were the ones who helped handle cousin Xue's case."

"But, Bao girl has been waiting for many years. If I let her waste her youth, how can I face your aunt?!"

"What mother said is even more unreasonable. We didn't promise anything, but no one wants her to waste her youth. Cousin Xue hasn't married yet. Isn't she waiting for her brother to arrange a marriage first? Only after her brother gets married can we arrange her marriage!"

Mrs. Wang stared at her daughter who had been in the palace for many years, as if she didn't recognize her.

How could she say such cruel words so casually!

After all, Jia Yuanchun didn't want to hurt Mrs. Wang's feelings. The Xue family had just presented her with medicine. She sighed, "In fact, there is a way to have the best of both worlds. As long as cousin Xue marries Baoyu as a concubine, she will not be wronged with her mother's care. Besides, I heard that she and cousin Yun have a very good relationship and will definitely get along well. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

She looked at Mrs. Wang innocently, as if to say, if Xue Baochai didn't want to be a concubine, what else could she do?

Could she marry someone better than Baoyu?

Mrs. Wang took two sips of tea to calm herself down, and then she thought of something else.

"But the Marquis of the Shi family is in a bad mood and refuses to marry Yun to us!"

This marriage is not something that Lady Jia can decide on!

That’s true!

Jia Yuanchun was also in a dilemma. She wanted to find another noble lady for Baoyu.

But the Xue family is watching us, and the news has already spread, so it’s not that easy to find him!

The circle of aristocratic families is so small, and the range of choices available is actually very limited.

Madam Wang's eyes lit up. "Why don't you just issue an edict? Once you have the edict, the historians will have to obey."

"No, this is not right!"

Everything must be done with caution in the palace, and Jia Yuanchun certainly understands this. The empress dowager and the queen are qualified to issue imperial decrees. Although she can also issue edicts, the orders from concubines have always been very few. Otherwise, if everyone in the palace issued edicts to the outside world, wouldn't it be a mess!

Moreover, once the decree was issued, it was a done deal, which was different from her vague gift giving on the Dragon Boat Festival.

"But if there is no order from the queen, how can the Shi family obey? After all, the Shi family is the old lady's family, and you are the imperial concubine. As long as they see the order, can the Shi family still disobey it! Where will the old lady's face be placed! As long as they don't want to tear their faces apart, they can't disobey it!"

Jia Yuanchun thought about it and agreed.

So she ordered Baoqin to prepare writing brush and ink, and she wrote the decree herself, and then said to Madam Wang, "We are getting married, not enemies, so both sides must agree. Mother, you should go back and persuade Lord Shi with kind words first. It would be best if they agree, and then take out the decree and say that our two families are getting married by imperial decree. How respectable it is."

"Don't worry, ma'am. I understand."

Then Mrs. Wang left a small box containing silver bills and fine treasures to bribe the eunuchs to remind the Emperor to sleep with Yuanchun so that the medicine could be used as soon as possible.

Mrs. Wang took the decree and went back to show it to Lady Jia.

Grandmother Jia thought about it and showed a happy expression, "Your Highness is still right. Let's do it this way. I will find someone to talk to Nai'er and Ding'er and let them understand the benefits of this marriage."

The maid of the Xue family is only fit to be a concubine. No matter how noble a concubine she is, she is still a concubine after all. Concubines are bought and sold, and if they are really found to have done something wrong, they can even be sold.

If the Xue family wants Xue Baochai to have a better life, they can only send her more money.

So this time, the Xue family was kept in the dark, and even Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were involved, trying to persuade Ning Ning and Shi Nai indirectly, telling them the benefits of a marriage between the four major families, guaranteeing that Shi Xiangyun's life would be better if she married into the family, and hinting that Shi Xiangyun's reputation was ruined, and if she didn't marry Baoyu, she wouldn't be able to get a good marriage.

Ning Ning didn't have to pretend to be sick anymore. She sneered, rebuked him directly, and ordered the butler to kick him out.

Last year was a special examination, and this year is a normal imperial examination. Snow has already finished the examination and is waiting for the day when the results will be announced, so he has no time to bother with them.

Shi Nai also found Ning Ning to complain, "Aunt is also a daughter of the Shi family, how could she be so cruel to Yun girl? Could it be that she has been married for so long that she only has the Jia family in her heart, and the Shi family is only worthy of being a stepping stone for the Jia family!"

Ning Ning, "I'm afraid he thinks too highly of Jia Baoyu and thinks we've ruined Yun girl's good marriage!"

The Jia family is obviously a scam, only a fool would marry his daughter to them!

Seeing Shi Nai's gloomy face, Ning Ning asked again, "How is Miss Yun?"

"The nanny sent by your sister-in-law was quite helpful. She explained the truth to her in detail. She seemed to have come to her senses and stopped talking or moving. She just did needlework at home. But what's the point of coming to her senses now? I have discussed it with your sister-in-law. Since we can't find a suitable marriage in the capital, why not let Qing'er take her over and let him find a suitable one for Yun girl in other places. The other party's background doesn't matter. As long as the person has good character and a good family tradition, it's fine."

The Qing'er he mentioned is Shi Qing, who is now serving in the army in another place. This means that Shi Qing needs to find someone in the army.

After the discussion was over and before Shi Xiangyun could be sent to find Shi Qing, the Jia family started making trouble again.

Snow passed the examination and ranked well, seventh.

Ning Ning doesn't like to show off, but if she wants to simply host a party, she will invite close relatives and friends.

Unexpectedly, the Jia family had the audacity to come, and did not leave until the guests had dispersed. It was obvious that Grandmother Jia had something to say to Shi Nai, Ning Ning and Madam Liu.

"I have told you several times in the past few days, but I am the only old woman who has not spoken yet. I will inevitably say a few words to annoy you."

Apart from Jia Yuanchun, she was the person with the highest status in the Jia family and a true duke. She said that if Shi Nai and Ning Ning did not agree, the marriage would be completely canceled and the two families would no longer have any contact, so she asked Jia Zheng and Jia Lian to come over to talk the first few times.

But Shi Nai and Ning Ning refused to agree, so they had no choice but to force her to come forward.

"I watched Yun grow up, how could I harm her! Marry her to Baoyu, the two children have similar temperaments, and they know each other's background. With me protecting her, no one would dare to treat her badly. I just can't understand why you are hesitating about such a perfect marriage?"

Ning Ning, "We are not hesitant, we simply don't want to. I heard that the Xue family values ​​Baoyu, and they are also relatives, so why not just help them get married? Why bother dragging Yun girl to compete with her, even ruining Yun girl's reputation."

Shi Nai was even more disgusted with the Jia family. "When Yun girl stayed at the mansion for a few days, her affairs spread everywhere. I wonder if someone was up to no good and deliberately ruined her reputation!"
