Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 158: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 38

Jiang Xinghui looked at Jiang's father and Jiang Yueshu again, and finally at Yunxi. Seeing her mother's eyes signaling, she was still a little hesitant.

Jiang Yueshu moved her lips, as if she was about to speak.

Jiang Xinghui was paying attention out of the corner of her eye. She was afraid that she would lose the opportunity after Jiang Yueshu made her choice, so she immediately spoke before Jiang Yueshu.

"Father, my daughter is willing to marry into the Marquis's Mansion!"

The sudden voice attracted everyone's attention. Jiang Xinghui saw that everyone was looking at her, and she bit her lip to defend herself.

"I... after all, I have had some contact with the prince. If I can't marry him, I'm afraid I can only live in seclusion for the rest of my life."

Yunxi acted very well. She didn't say a word, but just hugged Jiang Xinghui, covering her face with a handkerchief and crying.

Father Jiang frowned and looked at her. He didn't expect that his usually obedient daughter would say such a thing.

He looked at Jiang Yueshu again and felt a slight headache.

Yunxi also secretly glanced over here. Now only Jiang Yueshu was left. As long as she rejected the marriage proposal in public as Xia He said, the marriage would fall entirely on her daughter. Moreover, if word got out that she was the one who took the initiative to cancel the engagement, the Marquis' Mansion would be displeased.

"Father, I have made up my mind too." Jiang Yueshu suddenly spoke.

Father Jiang felt very disappointed, but he still looked at her.

"Regarding the marriage, my father's opinion is my opinion. I believe that my father will choose a good husband for me."

Father Jiang widened his eyes in disbelief, then narrowed them in relief.

Yunxi and Jiang Xinghui were both stunned for a moment. The different words they said one after the other made her seem inferior to others for no reason.

However, thinking about the implications of their words, she didn't care so much. In this way, Master Lu would be hers.

My mother said that as long as Jiang Yueshu rejected this marriage proposal, her marriage would basically be a done deal.

"Hui'er, father will ask you again, what you just said remains unchanged?" Father Jiang suddenly asked Jiang Xinghui.

Jiang Xinghui came to her senses and immediately replied, "Father, my daughter has made up her mind and is willing to marry Master Lu."

Father Jiang looked at her with complicated eyes for a while before returning to his original expressionless face.

"Okay, all of you go down!"

Jiang Yueshu and Jiang Xinghui bowed and left one by one.

After the two of them left the front hall, they could no longer hear the conversation inside.

Jiang Yueshu walked behind. Her eyes swept over Jiang Xinghui's body and only looked away after she saw the green sachet on her waist.

Jiang Xinghui seemed to have something to say and stopped spontaneously.

She looked at Jiang Yueshu with complicated eyes, still unable to hide the joy in her heart.

She didn't understand why Jiang Yueshu said that, but she also knew that after saying that, she would no longer be able to compete with her for Master Lu.

"Sister, you really surprised me. If I get along well with the prince in the future, I will remember what you did today." She smiled softly.

Jiang Yueshu also smiled, "Sister, then you can cherish your married life with the prince."

After saying this, Jiang Yueshu left first.

Jiang Yueshu didn't know how Jiang's father and the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness's family discussed it in the end, but she knew the final result at the dinner table.

The marriage between Jiang Yueshu and the prince was cancelled, and the Marquis's Mansion would prepare generous gifts as compensation. As for other conditions, Jiang's father did not say.

Jiang Xinghui has arranged a marriage with the prince, and in a few days the two families will select an auspicious date to hold the wedding.

At the dinner table, Old Mrs. Jiang had a calm expression, and her expression would only fluctuate when it came to matters involving Jiang's father and Jiang Yixiu.

Yunxi and Jiang Xinghui were in a good mood. Jiang Yixiu looked at Jiang Yueshu worriedly and silently took a few bites of Jiang Yueshu's favorite food with the serving chopsticks.

Father Jiang has also been paying attention to Jiang Yueshu and comforting her.

"Shushu, you are not destined to be with Prince Lu. Father will definitely find a better one for you. Eat more and don't let this affect you."

If Jiang Xinghui hadn't been present, he would have definitely scolded Lu Zhao, which wouldn't have been good.

Jiang Xinghui felt quite uncomfortable after listening to this. After all, she was going to marry into the Marquis' Mansion soon. In her heart, Master Lu was perfect in every way and she would not allow anyone to despise him, even if he was her biological father.

However, even though she felt uncomfortable, she endured it and said nothing. After all, she was still Jiang's father's unmarried daughter.

Jiang Yueshu had a calm expression, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. She was only focused on eating.

People from different perspectives will naturally have different thoughts. Jiang's father and Jiang Yixiu just feel distressed, and at the same time they feel inexplicably unhappy about Jiang Xinghui, but after all, it is the marriage she asked for.

As for Yunxi and Jiang Xinghui, they felt that Jiang Yueshu was in a bad mood and was holding a grudge, but they were very proud of themselves.

In the next few days, after several negotiations between Yunxi and Aunt Hua from the Marquis's Mansion, the two families also selected an auspicious date and set it for next spring.

After the marriage with the son of the marquis's mansion was decided, Jiang Xinghui and Yunxi became very proud and felt they could stand up straighter. Even Yunxi's worries about having to hand over Jiang's mother's dowry list were relieved a little.

It was not until Jiang's father warned her again that she began to feel nervous.

Because the dowry belonged to Jiang Yueshu's biological mother, Jiang's father simply asked Old Lady Yun to take out the original dowry list and then handed it directly to the housekeeper to urge for it.

The housekeeper only listened to Jiang's father's orders and asked for it without mercy.

Yunxi was panicking. She took the dowry list and started to check it. It took her almost a whole day to check everything. She lost a lot of money because of the arrangements in the mansion and various social relationships.

Now the housekeeper was pressing her, so she could only drag out the time to make up for it.

She didn't dare let Jiang's father know the truth. Given Jiang's father's temper, if he knew that she had embezzled Jiang's mother's belongings, she didn't know how he would deal with her.

It would be fine if she was the only one punished, but she is still a daughter now. If it affects her daughter's marriage, then all the planning over the years will be in vain.

Thinking of this, the first people she thought of were the Bai family of the Yun Mansion and her brother's family. She had been busy with the affairs of the mansion recently, and she really didn't know what the situation of the two families was.

When Ding Quan was arrested and tortured that day, she was also afraid for some time. However, the Yun Mansion did not send anyone to interrogate him for several consecutive days, so she guessed that Ding Quan probably did not give her away.

Thinking of the man who had always loved her since they were young, Yun Xi felt sad for a moment, then she sighed and put the thought out of her mind.

With mixed feelings, Yun Xi handed the visiting card to the gateman of the Yun Mansion, and soon someone took her to meet Bai.

As soon as she came in, she saw Bai, whose face seemed a little haggard, with faint redness in her eyes.

Yunxi was startled and rushed over.

She couldn't understand why, considering Bai's status and Yun Qingping's respect and love for her, she would be like this?

"Auntie, are you okay? Xier came to see you today." Yun Xi asked with concern.

Bai hadn't seen Yunxi for many days. She was very happy when she saw her suddenly, and smiled back at her.

"It's not bad. Xi'er, you have this heart, and it's worth your mother's love for you."

Ever since the old man of the Yun family passed away, Yun Qingping became the new head of the family. Bai, who was proud of her status, always placed herself in the position of the old lady of the Yun family and called herself the mother.

Yunxi looked carefully again and it seemed that Bai had indeed just cried. She was not mistaken.

Not knowing what had happened and thinking about the money, Yun Xi hesitated and didn't know how to start the conversation.

While she was calculating in her mind, Bai spoke before she could.

"Xi'er, ever since Nan'er was expelled from the Yun residence, mother has been feeling bad. I don't know what happened to Yun Qingping. He was raised by that woman, and now he doesn't even care about family affection."

"It's only been a few days, and he has become cold even to me, his biological mother. He has been paying respects to that woman all day long."

There was deep resentment and dissatisfaction in Bai's words. Now that she finally had someone to talk to, she couldn't help but speak.

Yunxi's heart tightened and he quickly interrupted her, smiling awkwardly.

"Aunt, how could that be? After all, you are my brother's biological mother. How can the love between mother and son last overnight?"
