Nanny Liu was also vexed. At the very least, we have to wait until Ning Yuanbos interrogation is over and the charges are settled before he can be released. Itll take half a month.

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she panicked. How can that be? I heard that the prison is cold and humid. Most people who enter the prison will more or less fall sick. Mingzhao was previously tortured. If he falls sick and it drags on for half a month, how will he recover from his illness in the future?

Nanny Liu couldnt say anything else. Matriarch was worried about Heir Song. Although the relations.h.i.+p between the two families was sincere, the fundamental reason was still..

After Old Madam Yu was done being anxious, she leaned against the couch dejectedly. I originally thought that Mingzhao liked our Yao Yao. In the past two years, I wasnt in a hurry to help Yao Yao arrange this matter, but if

Nanny Liu was stunned. Matriarch, how how can you tell? Heir Song has been in and out of the Yu Residence often in the past two years, but he hasnt shown He hasnt shown any interest in Eldest Miss!

Was she seeing things?

Didnt Heir Song come to the Yu Residence every time to pay respects to Matriarch Song?

Youve lived for most of your life, how can you not even have this much discernment. Then, you would really be old and muddle-headed. Old Madam Yu sat up straight. Song Mingzhaos thoughts were too deep. Previously, he hadnt seen through him, but as time pa.s.sed) there would always be some clues. Go and look through the gift list he brings over every time.

Heir Songs gift list had to go through Nanny Liu. It wasnt that Nanny Liu had a good memory, but she had to remember important people.

Upon hearing Matriarch Song mention it) Nanny Lius eyes widened in surprise. I remember that every time Heir Song shows filial piety to

Matriarch, there seem to be one or two expensive spices and medicinal herbs. Matriarch always asked me to sort them out and send them to Eldest Misss residence, but she didnt let me mention they were given by Heir Song. I only thought that Eldest Miss liked incense medicine, so Matriarch asked me to give it to her. Could it be

Large families reciprocated etiquette, so it was normal for them to send some spices and medicinal herbs.

Women liked spices. Old people were old and needed to nourish their bodies, so medicinal herbs were more practical.

She did not think too much about it.

Old Madam Yu glanced at her. Its understandable if it happens twice, but its abnormal every time. You cant even tell this. Youre so old. I wonder if youve learnt anything.

Nanny Liu was stunned for a long time before sighing. Its just that in my eyes, Eldest Miss is still a child. I didnt expect that in the blink of an eye, shes already at the age where we have to see her as a woman. How can I think about

She had long known that Matriarch Song had taken a fancy to Heir Song. She had even found it strange. Which family didnt compare their statuses with other families before making a judgment?

Family background, character, and talent were all considered.

You looked at others, and others looked at you. As long as there was something you were dissatisfied with, you wouldnt make do. This was a big matter that concerned the entire life of someone. Once that happened, there would definitely be a resentful couple. How could they have a good life in the future?

Therefore, if this marriage happened, there would be repudiation, mourning, and all kinds of unexpected situations.

Large families would have already helped their young misses take care of the situation when they were 11 or 12 years old. It would take at least a year and a half, or at most two to three years.

They were only afraid that there would be too many variables.

Every family had options, and would not just stick to one family. However, Matriarch Yu looked like she was sitting steadily on the fis.h.i.+ng platform. She wasnt worried about the marriage with the Zhenguo Marquis Residence at all. She had thought that the Matriarchs heart ached for Eldest Miss and she wanted to wait and see for her.

Who would have known that Heir Song would become a cooked duck that couldnt fly away?

Nanny Liu thought about it carefully and understood. The Song and Yu families are family friends to begin with, so its normal for them to be married. However, with the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, they can even be matched with resentful partners. Heir Song likes Eldest Miss and has been a filial grandson in front of Matriarch for two years for Eldest Miss. This sincerity can be seen.

How could she find such a person?

But!

If there was an unforeseen storm in the sky, the arrangement might not happen.

Old Madam Yu let out a long sigh. Thats right. Other than Linghuai, theres really no one else in the entire capital whos more outstanding than Song Mingzhao. If he didnt like Yao Yao, I would have thought that he was too scheming and not suitable for Yao Yao. In that case, I would still have some complaints about him, but hes thoughtful.

Comoared to the most outstanding and suitable candidates. the trolls were naturally looked down on.

Nanny Liu agreed deeply. Thats not the only reason why Matriarch likes Heir Song!

As long as Eldest Miss was involved, Matriarch Lu would be scheming.

In addition to a persons character, temperament, and talent, the most important thing in a marriage was a family background that was well-matched.

Indeed!

Old Madam Yu nodded. Its not peaceful in the court now. Only by hugging family friends tightly can we be more stable. In the future, if anything happens, the relations.h.i.+p between family friends will continue to be involved.

With the Yu Residences help, Yao Yaos safety will be more guaranteed. Among the family friends, Song Mingzhao was the most outstanding.

At this point, Old Madam Yu continued, The Zhenguo Marquis Residence is still a royalist party. As long as they dont court death, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, they will be stable. Moreover, Yao Yao has a lot of good karma with the Zhenguo Marquis Residence. Its a good place to go.

Look at Ning Yuanbos residence. He had committed so many crimes previously, but wasnt he fine?

Although the emperor wanted to protect them, there were also reasons why n.o.ble families were intertwined and it was not appropriate to make a fuss. The troubles of the Marquis of Weining and Ning Yuanbo had not directly affected their residence yet. As long as they were not beaten to death, n.o.ble families were usually unkillable c.o.c.kroaches.

Ning Yuanbos residence was at a disadvantage. He was a new n.o.ble with an unstable foundation.

It was his bad luck was that he had completely broken his promise to the emperor.

He was courting death. He was too anxious for quick success and had actually tampered with the examination. He had lied about nurturing his henchmen and formed cliques for personal gain. Such a matter had always been a taboo for kings.

The Zhenguo Marquis Residence was the oldest meritorious family in the capital. As a royalist, the first thing they protected was the emperors interests. Even if the emperor was afraid of these old n.o.ble forces being intertwined, he would not give up easily.

Song Xiuwen was a direct descendant of the Song family and his family had been implicated in Li Qiguangs rebellion. If it were anyone else, they would have long been implicated.

However, the Zhenguo Marquis Residence was not affected.

At this point, Old Madam Yu said, Other than the Zhenguo Marquis Residence, the other families that the Yu Residence is familiar with are also civil officials. However, look at the Tang Residence. Theyre also a reputable literary family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As soon as the fraud case is exposed, Lord Tang will be involved. Although it wont be a crime, if its a matter of incompetence, Im afraid Lord Tang wont be able to hold his position as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

Now that Ning Yuanbo was still in jail, it was Lord Tangs turn to be affected..
