Seeing that Madam Chen didn't respond, Wu'an Hou's wife couldn't help but feel a little angry, but thinking of what her father-in-law had told her, she could only force out a smile, "Look at me, I'm getting off topic.

Just now we were talking about arranging a marriage, do I have a suitable candidate?"

"Oh? Whose son is he?"

Madam Wu'an patted Madam Chen's hand and said, "He is my adopted daughter's stepson and the only son of the Third Master of Zhennan Palace."

This scared Mrs. Chen. Isn't that a bastard?

She glanced at the wife of Marquis Wu'an, her face somewhat unpleasant, "Madam, as far as I know, that child should be born out of wedlock... Although my husband's niece has no father or mother, her background is acceptable. It is really a shame to marry her to a bastard..."

No wonder the wife of Marquis Wu'an was so enthusiastic some time ago, and Concubine Wan was very caring towards her daughter in the palace. It seems that she is waiting here.

It turns out there is no such thing as a free meal!

"Madam Chen, to be honest, I do have selfish motives." The wife of Marquis Wu'an sighed, "The adopted daughter looks very similar to the aunt who died young in our mansion. She is quite liked by our old Marquis and the Marquis. This time she married into the Zhennan Palace as a concubine, but she was given a lot of money houses and shops as a dowry!"

"But the child suffered a lot in his early years, and he developed a disease, so he can't have children."

"She came back to visit the old marquis a few days ago and said that her stepson is very outstanding. Although he is young, he is ambitious and studies hard, and is very much liked by the master. He is also a filial and responsible child. The old lady of Zhennan has been ill for a long time, and he has been here to greet her every day, and he has also insisted on copying Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings. He is truly a rare good child."

"We are all women. The husband's background is important, but his character is more important. That child will be a great success in the future."

"From what I heard, this child is indeed good," Mrs. Chen also became interested, "but after all, he is a concubine's child. I'm afraid my old lady will not agree."

"What's the big deal? Even if she is born out of wedlock, if she becomes a royal relative, she will be incomparable to the legitimate children."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she was a little confused.

Could it be that the adopted daughter of Marquis Wu'an's wife was planning to adopt the child?

If this is the case, then the child would be Concubine Wan's nephew, and the two little princes' cousins.

In this case....

She lowered her head and thought carefully, "Marriage is a big deal, and it cannot be sloppy. You have to let me go back and ask my mother-in-law for instructions."

"Of course. I can guarantee that the child will have a good character and a bright future."

"I appreciate your kindness. I will thank you after I tell my mother-in-law!"

Madam Wu'an Hou smiled and declined, "You are too polite. We sisters get along well, so we should help each other."

The two sat for a long time and were about to get up and walk back when they heard a chuckle from the side. "On the surface, they are good sisters who are affectionate and affectionate, but in their hearts they are evil and want to hurt others. You can't judge a person by his appearance."

"What benefit did Lin Wan'er give you that made you speak nonsense here against your conscience?"

Both the wife of Marquis Wu'an and Mrs. Chen were startled.

The two looked to the side, and although there was only a back view, it was not difficult to make out a young woman with a graceful figure.

The wife of Marquis Wu'an was furious. She stepped forward and scolded, "What kind of young woman is so unruly, sneaking around and eavesdropping on other people's conversations!"

Chun Xiao had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, and just when she had no place to vent her anger, she opened her mouth and retorted, "Which old woman is so rude? Why don't you leave!"

The wife of Marquis Wu'an was even more embarrassed. Ever since Concubine Wan entered the palace and became favored, she had always been flattered. It had been a long time since she had been humiliated like this.

"Bitch, how dare you be rude to the Marquis's wife!"

The nanny behind Marquis Wu'an stepped forward to slap Chunxiao, but was kicked by Xia He, breaking her jaw.

Chunxiao curled her lips and decided to find some time to learn how to remove someone's chin. It was much more pleasant to do it yourself than to watch someone else do it.

"May I ask which family's lady you are from?"

Madam Chen was much more cautious. She stopped the angry wife of Marquis Wu'an and went forward to ask.

Xia He and Chun Xiao stood in front of them and didn't let them take a step forward.

"Madam, I was just admiring the flowers here and overheard your conversation. I thought it was a bit too noisy.

Please stay away and don't disturb my enjoyment of the flowers."

"you!"

The wife of Marquis Wu'an was so angry that she almost died. "Who is this little whore from? She is so arrogant and rude."

Xia He narrowed her eyes, stepped forward, grabbed the wife of Marquis Wu'an by the clothes, and slapped her left and right, giving her several big slaps.

Mrs. Chen hurried forward to stop him, but Xia He slapped her back and knocked her to the ground.

Just as he was about to call for help, he saw the young lady coming over.

"Madam Chen, marriage is about friendship between two families, not enmity. I have heard that Grand Secretary Chen is well-versed in academics, knowledgeable and talented, and has an excellent reputation as an official. You are really virtuous for thinking about his niece like this."

Madam Chen's face turned pale. What did this mean? Could there be something wrong with the child of Prince Zhennan's Mansion?

His master cares more about character and knowledge than background.

She looked at the wife of Marquis Wu'an in confusion.

The wife of Marquis Wu'an was dizzy after being beaten by Xia He. She felt that the young woman in front of her looked somewhat familiar, but she didn't know why she wanted to ruin her good fortune.

She looked at Madam Chen and said, "If you believe her, then just pretend I didn't say anything. Your kindness is taken for granted!"

He turned around and glared at Xiao Yunxi, but he knew that he couldn't afford to offend her, so he could only stand up and walk back unwillingly.

Madam Chen looked at Xiao Yunxi helplessly, and was worried that if she completely offended the wife of Marquis Wu'an, she would also offend Concubine Wan in the palace, which would be detrimental to her daughter in the palace. She could only grit her teeth, stand up and chase after him.

"Princess, why are you helping Madam Chen?"

Xiao Yunxi put down the teacup in her hand. She was not helping Mrs. Chen, but the fatherless and motherless niece that Mrs. Chen mentioned.

That child was Zhan'er's wife in his previous life. They had a very good relationship. Although she had a hot temper, she was kind-hearted and filial. She served Zhan'er's grandmother attentively and wholeheartedly, and was not as bad as Madam Chen said just now.

In this life, Zhan'er became the legitimate son of the Ningguo Mansion, so naturally he could no longer marry that child. However, Lu Ze's character was like that of Lin Wan'er and Lu Jingting, so he was not worthy of that child at all.

"It's getting late, let's go back home."

Seeing that Xiao Yunxi was in a bad mood, Chunxiao didn't dare to say anything and told the maids to pack up.

Madam Wu'an had a gloomy face and ordered the maid beside her, "Keep an eye on her and find out who that little whore is from. She's so arrogant!"

"Yes."

The nanny asked around but failed to find out anything, so she became cautious and ran over to take a look at Xiao Yunxi's carriage. She saw that although the carriage was luxurious, it had no markings on it.

After the investigation was fruitless, he could only run back to report to the wife of Marquis Wu'an, "Madam, I am useless and have not found out anything."

Madam Wu'an was completely furious. "Catch up with her carriage! I want to see which noble family she belongs to!"

Covering her red and swollen cheeks, she was determined to find out who this person was and go to the palace to find Concubine Wan to vent her anger!
