After a while, Jiang Nanqiu's personal maid Yu'er quietly opened the door and came in, then closed it again, bringing Jiang Nanqiu the news she wanted to know, "Miss, I heard that Miss Rong has been living in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for more than a year."

"Those people refused to say anything, and finally I gave them some money and got some inside information from a housemaid."

Jiang Nanqiu lowered his voice a lot, "But is she from a good family?" If this Miss Rong was from a prostitute family, it would be much easier to deal with her.

Yu'er swallowed the saliva in her throat and said carefully, "She is Rong Menghan."

Jiang Nanqiu suddenly fell silent, and the entire bridal chamber fell into deathly silence.

Yu'er felt her heart beating like thunder, and she didn't even dare to look at the lady's face. And Jiang Nanqiu smiled after a long while, "It turned out to be her."

It turned out to be Rong Menghan, the eldest daughter of Langya Rong family.

A few years ago, Censor Rong was involved in a corruption case and was fired, and Miss Rong was also imprisoned in the Jiaosifang. Otherwise, she would have been the one to marry her Xinhu husband Jing'an.

After all, the Rong family of Langya produced many talents, and Rong Menghan was extremely beautiful and talented. She was praised by the Empress, who praised her as the best among the noble ladies in Kyoto. Jing An and her were childhood sweethearts, and after years of getting along, their feelings for each other were deep and firm.

However, Rong Menghan had an unfortunate fate. Jing An loved her deeply but also felt pity for her, which was why he left Jiang Nanqiu to accompany her on their wedding night.

"Miss." Yu'er called Jiang Nanqiu, wanting to comfort her.

However, Jiang Nanqiu interrupted her. There was no sadness in her cold eyes. "From now on, you have to call me Madam."

She has always been such a cold and indifferent person. Even when her aunt died of illness, she never cried.

"Madam, what should we do?" Yu'er was confused and asked. However, no one answered her.

Yu'er was a little discouraged. With a person like Miss Rong and a long-standing love affair, the lady must be overwhelmed.

However, Jiang Nanqiu asked Yu'er gently, "Do you remember what Jing'an said to me a month ago?"

How did we get here all of a sudden? Yu'er stared at Jiang Nanqiu blankly, not being able to react for a moment.

She only knew that her wife could marry her current son-in-law, and she shared the same idea as everyone else, that it was a great thing that fell from the sky. Until now, Yu'er still felt like she was dreaming.

In fact, although the lady was born in a poor family, she was born as a maid, but she was beautiful, smart and intelligent. That's why her stepmother, An, was so stingy. When the lady reached the age of marriage, she was betrothed to a widower. The widower was extremely ugly, and it was said that he was violent and cruel. If the lady really married such a vicious marriage, she didn't know how long she could live. However, the lady was calm and still treated her stepmother with respect and caution. She only made a request to her stepmother on the eve of the wedding, saying that she wanted to go to Jubaozhai to take a look.

According to An's previous temper, she would never agree to it no matter what. However, this time the girl agreed to the marriage without any resistance and earned her three thousand taels of silver. She was in a very good mood and readily agreed. She even gave her fifty taels of silver out of kindness. "Although the jewelry in Jubao Pavilion is a bit expensive, you are about to get married, so it's good to go and take a look."

An was not worried at all that Jiang Nanqiu would run away. In her opinion, if Jiang Nanqiu dared to do something shameful, it would be even better. It would be a dead end!

On that day, Jiang Nanqiu dressed up beautifully and went to Jubao Pavilion. However, after she got off the carriage, she accidentally bumped into the arms of Jing An, the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

In broad daylight, two unmarried men and women had physical contact. What should we do?

Prince Jing'an had a cold face, and Yu'er's heart was in her throat. Although Jiang Nanqiu was so beautiful, the prince did not show any sympathy to her, but instead pushed her away coldly.

Jiang Nanqiu was not in a hurry either. She bowed respectfully to the prince and apologized slowly, "Please forgive me, young master."

I originally thought that the prince would scold the lady, but I didn't expect that he would stop in his tracks and look the lady up and down, which led to today's marriage.

Jiang Nanqiu couldn't help but recall the past.

After looking her over, Prince Jing'an smiled coldly, "The concubine's daughter of the Jiang family?" There was clear contempt in his eyes.

Then he asked, "Miss Jiang, are you married?"

Jiang Nanqiu was not affected by him at all, "Not yet."

As soon as the two of them sat down at the elegant seats in Jubaozhai, Jing An handed a set of precious red agate head ornaments to Jiang Nanqiu and said straight to the point, "Miss Jiang, this is a meeting gift. Please accept it."

"Miss Jiang, I hope we can make a deal. I have someone I like. But the person I like is too low-status to be my wife. Under pressure from the elders in my family, I need to marry a woman of humble status."

"As for the benefits that Miss Jiang can gain from this marriage, I don't need to elaborate on them."

Although Jing An's attitude was arrogant and contemptuous, Jiang Nanqiu had no way to refuse. She did not refuse.

So at this moment, she was alone in the empty room, and she didn't feel annoyed.

Since she was a child, her aunt had always told her to be thorough. To do anything, one must take it slow. Now she had married into the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo and became Jing An's legal wife. She only needed to be patient and dormant until she completely won his heart and enjoyed this overwhelming wealth.
