Lord Jiang responded obediently, "This son will treat them well equally."
The old lady added, "Yue'er has been pampered for so many years. She is extremely talented and knowledgeable. She is also the companion of Her Highness the Princess. Among her peers, she is the only one who can be so close to the princess."
After Lord Jiang heard these words, he suddenly realized what the old lady was talking about.
Although Yue'er is not a real bloodline of the Marquis family, after raising her for so many years, she has long been one of the ladies in the capital, which represents connections.
On the contrary, although Jiang Ning is his biological daughter, she grew up in the countryside, and her style and vision cannot keep up with the pace of the capital. Even if she starts learning now, she won't be able to learn much.
It’s clear who is more important.
After Lord Jiang came to his senses, he said, "This son knows."
"It's good to know." Old Madam Jiang calmly turned the prayer beads and said calmly, "As for the child, take good care of her. Don't bring her out and embarrass herself or drag down Yue'er."
"If you take care of her matter well, she will be useful in the future."
Lord Jiang raised his face and asked, "What does mother mean?"
The old lady looked at Mr. Jiang, "Being the daughter of the Marquis is of great use. Marrying into a good family will be good for her and the Marquis." As she said that, the spinning beads stopped, and the room fell silent.
"The Lu family is looking for a girl for their son. Mrs. Lu mentioned it to me some time ago."
Lord Jiang's heart beat violently and he raised his face, "But Mr. Lu?"
Old Madam Jiang hummed.
Lord Jiang's face twitched, and his expression was very ugly, "But the second young master Lu has a wife-killing destiny. He has already lost two of his wives, and one of them died of illness before he even got married..."
Mrs. Jiang snorted coldly, "There is no such thing as wife-killing destiny. It's all nonsense from charlatans! The Lu family is prominent, and Chief Minister Lu plays an important role in the court. If you can establish a relationship with the Lu family, your future career will be smooth."
"Before I was concerned about Yue'er, so I ignored the Lu family, but now it's different." Old Madam Jiang was cold-hearted and only planned for the future of the Marquis Mansion. Jiang Ning became an excellent chess piece.
Marquis Jiang looked hesitant. Everyone knew about Master Lu's wife-killer reputation. No matter what, Jiang Ning was still his daughter, so he couldn't push her into the fire pit.
Mrs. Jiang saw Lord Jiang's hesitation and said calmly, "Think about this yourself. That child grew up in the country and doesn't understand the rules. Even if she looks for someone else in the future, what kind of family will she find?"
Lord Jiang's face moved slightly, and his mind began to waver.
The Lu family was prominent, so Jiang Ning was indeed not aggrieved if she marries him, and it was actually an excellent marriage.
Outside the door.
Jiang Mengyue did not leave, but quietly hid behind the door and listened.
Hearing Old Madam Jiang's words, her face was full of shock.
Grandma actually intended to betroth Jiang Ning to Second Young Master Lu? Although the Lu family is prominent, the Second Young Master Lu is evil. All the women who have been engaged to him have died of sudden illness. The Lu family intends to find girls to marry, but the aristocratic families in the capital are aware of the situation and have changed their minds after hearing about it.
Grandma set her sights on Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning was indeed an excellent chess piece.
Jiang Mengyue raised the corners of her lips coldly and smiled.
She was originally worried that her grandmother would treat her coldly if she knew she was not of the Marquis family's blood, but she didn't expect that she was still the favored girl, and Jiang Ning was the redundant one.
She was overthinking it.
Yes, there is a huge difference between her and Jiang Ning. How can a village girl brought back from the countryside compare with her?
Jiang Mengyue felt confident, raised her chin and snorted coldly.
She turned around calmly and left with gentle footsteps. No one noticed her eavesdropping at the door.
Not long after Jiang Mengyue left, a figure quickly flew across the roof.
......
Jiang Ning returned to Ning'an Courtyard.
After a while, Shuangyue walked into the room and said with a stern face, "Miss, I heard something. Lord Jiang and Old Madam Jiang want to make a marriage arrangement for you."
Jiang Ning was stunned and raised her face, "What did you say? Engagement?"
"Yes, the old lady has an idea for you and wants to betroth you to Young Master Lu."
Jiang Ning didn't react for a long time, her mind was in a daze.
Want to get her engaged?
Just as Xu Yuanqing was sent away, another marriage came over.
She couldn't help frowning and tightening her handkerchief. What kind of bad luck did she get?
Second Young Master Lu...she had some impressions. He was a famous figure in the capital. He was famous for being a wife-suppressant. He had married two wives, both of whom died of illness in less than a month.
There was also a woman who was waiting to be married in her boudoir, but she suddenly fell ill on the eve of her wedding.
When word spread about Master Lu's wife-killing destiny, the faces of the ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital changed. Even those who had previously planned to cling to the Lu family all stopped thinking.
They are all afraid of losing their lives before marriage...
Unexpectedly, Old Madam Jiang had this idea for her.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile coldly. Old Madam Jiang really hasn't changed at all. She has never regarded her as her granddaughter.
After this incident, we can see Old Madam Jiang's attitude. She knows who is more important and who is less important.
If this marriage is really so good, then why not give it to Jiang Mengyue?
To put it bluntly, Old Madam Jiang couldn't let go of Jiang Mengyue, and she was just brought back from the countryside. Even if she had the blood of the Marquis family flowing on her body, she couldn't be on the spotlight.
She was betrothed to the Second Young Master Lu. Even if she died after marrying him, Old Madam Jiang and Lord Jiang would not shed a tear. Instead, they would step on her bones and cling to the Lu family.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, and her smile also turned cold.
Shuangyue frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Ning worriedly, fearing that she would not know the situation in the capital, so she explained, "Miss, this marriage with the Lu family is not a good one. That young master Lu has already conquered the fate of his wife to death."
