“Alright.” After Wang Qiluo left the room, Lu Lingyun looked at Jiang Shi, whose lips curved into a smile, and asked directly, “Aunt, did you call me here for Qiluo’s marriage?” Seeing that Lu Lingyun had guessed it right away, Jiang Shi chuckled, “This little girl has always been too clever.”
Of course, Lu Lingyun had guessed it a long time ago. When she went to Xiangji Temple to enjoy the autumn scenery with Wang Qiluo a while back, she had mentioned that her mother was looking for a match for her. The invitation she received a few days ago was also in Jiang Shi’s name, inviting her to come, and it was most likely about this matter. Just now, she sent Wang Qiluo away, probably because Jiang Shi had already chosen someone and wanted to talk about it without Wang Qiluo around.
“Aunt, which young master did you like so much?” Lu Lingyun asked directly with a smile.
Jiang Shi called for the servant girl to bring the things, “How did you know I liked someone?”
“If you didn’t like someone, why would you set a time to call me? Did the other party already come to discuss marriage?” Lu Lingyun asked with a smile.
“You really can’t hide anything from you!” Jiang Shi sighed, “If your sister had half your intelligence, no matter who she married, I would feel at ease.”
“Qiluo is doing well, she’s definitely someone blessed with good fortune.” Lu Lingyun looked at the name card presented to her and couldn’t help but feel curious, “Whose family is it?”
Jiang Shi’s eyes held a hint of anticipation as she slowly said, “Luo Heng, the son of Luo Tai, the Assistant Minister of Justice.”
The name card unfolded, and the name Luo Heng appeared on it. Lu Lingyun’s brows instantly twitched.
So, Wang Qiluo’s marriage was already being arranged at this time. In her previous life, she was pregnant and busy running errands for Li Wenxun, so she had no time to contact the Wang family. It seemed they saw that she was pregnant and didn’t want to disturb her. Therefore, she hadn’t paid attention to this.
“This Assistant Minister of Justice, Luo Tai, was newly transferred to the capital at the beginning of this year. When he arrived in the capital, their carriage broke down, and they happened to meet Sheng An, who gave them a ride. Later, I met his wife, Madam Yang, a few times, and we went shopping together. It’s a coincidence, our tastes are quite similar.”
“A few days ago, Madam Yang told me that her son, Luo Heng, had been interested in Qiluo for a long time, and she had liked Qiluo for a long time too.”
“That’s not true!” Lu Lingyun’s voice suddenly rose.
Jiang Shi, who was in high spirits, paused, looking at the flustered Lu Lingyun in surprise.
Lu Lingyun looked at Jiang Shi, her eyes flickered, and she said directly, “Aunt, I can’t care about family secrets anymore. You know my young master has a concubine from a brothel?”
“I know.” Jiang Shi nodded.
Lu Lingyun leaned close to her ear and whispered to Jiang Shi about Xing Dai Rong running away with Luo Heng.
Jiang Shi’s face changed drastically, “What?! That vixen seduced Luo Heng again? I have to tell Madam Yang about this! She must not know!”
Lu Lingyun was not trying to tell her that Luo Heng was entangled with Xing Dai Rong. She wanted to say that Luo Heng was not a good person!
“Aunt, don’t be anxious. It takes two to tango. Xing Dai Rong and my husband are at least redeemed. He directly took her away, what kind of character is that?”
“Not to mention whether Luo Heng was infatuated or not, just the words he said to my husband that day, he’s stealing his friend’s wife, which is unjust. He kept it from his parents, which is unfilial. He even boasted about marrying Xing Dai Rong as his main wife, which is unwise. Such an unjust, unfilial, and unwise person, how can he be entrusted with marriage?”
Jiang Shi calmed down as she listened, but her face became increasingly worried, “I have a good relationship with Madam Yang, how could her son be like this?”
Lu Lingyun thought for a moment, “Aunt, you can talk to her about it, but don’t make it too public. After all, it also involves the shame of our Houfu.”
Jiang Shi nodded understandingly, “I know.”
