Lu Chaoyun was stunned. She bowed and returned the greeting. She looked at Tang San and Tang Si who were carrying the gifts back and forth, and asked tentatively, "Are you here to propose marriage on behalf of Tang Juecao?"

Nanny Jiang smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's right."

Lu Chaoyun felt very confused. She never expected that the Tang family would come to propose marriage so soon, which disrupted her original plan.

She had not yet found a chance to explain to her eldest sister that the marriage between Li Jiyi and her daughter was called off, and asked her eldest sister to find another marriage for him as soon as possible.

She was really worried that the Tang family would catch her off guard, and she would be in a dilemma as to whether to accept or not. If her eldest sister heard about it, it would cause the relationship between the two sisters to become strained, which would be totally not worth it.

Seeing that her face was changing from mood to mood, Nanny Jiang thought that she was worried about the family background between the two children and was afraid that her daughter would not be happy if she married into the Tang family.

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "Madam Jiang, our Tang family always puts the opinions of our children first when it comes to marriage, and never pays attention to family background. Character is the primary consideration, and as long as the background is not messy, we can accept anyone. Miss Jiang is both good-looking and good-looking, and my son is very fond of her. I have been entrusted by Madam to come and propose marriage. If Madam Jiang has other ideas, you can tell me."

Lu Chaoyun waved his hand and replied: "You misunderstood. Tang Juecao is a good child, but my family is a small family after all, and the Tang family is a wealthy family. I am afraid that my daughter's behavior will be inappropriate if she marries into your family..."

She wanted to pave the way for her daughter's future, so she had to make her worries clear in advance, so that the Tang family would not look down on her daughter in the future.

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Nanny Jiang. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she did not show it on her face.

Madam Jiang raised her lips, took her hand and sat down, and said with a smile: "Madam Jiang, don't worry. My wife has thought about these things a long time ago. My wife said that everything should be based on Miss Jiang's request, even if they settle in Suanzao County in the future."

After hearing this, Lu Chaoyun became even more confused. She wondered what the Tang family's purpose was in proposing this marriage.

Although on the surface everything is centered on them, it somehow feels insincere.

Are all the wealthy families so casual about their children's marriages? Or does the Tang family simply not take their daughter seriously, which is why they look down on her so much?

Lu Chaoyun began to have the idea of ​​backing out and she was not going to agree to this marriage.

Having made up her mind, she spoke again, "Thank you for your concern for my daughter. She is just over fifteen and still young. I want to keep her for two more years and do not plan to arrange a marriage for her for the time being. I'm sorry to bother you to come here in person. I have something else to do at home, so I won't see you off. Goodbye."

After saying this, she turned around and went back to the restaurant.

Tang Si walked into the tavern carrying a gift box. Seeing Lu Chaoyun leaving Aunt Jiang with a gloomy face, he walked up to Aunt Jiang in two steps and asked, "Madam, what's going on? Why did Aunt Jiang leave?"

"Hey, maybe I said something that made her misunderstand. It's okay, take me to the restaurant to meet her. The marriage between the young master and Miss Jiang must be settled today, otherwise, the young master will blame me to death." Nanny Jiang smiled helplessly.

"Madam, you are such a jerk." Tang Si was speechless. How could Madam Jiang, who was always prudent in her work, be so unreliable this time?

Xu Da, who was sitting on the second floor, opened the book in his hand and stared at the page for a long time without turning it. He listened to the conversation between the two people, and he had the same idea as Lu Chaoyun.

I don’t know if Nanny Jiang didn’t explain it clearly, or if the Tang family really looked down on Jiang Muxia and didn’t take her seriously.

Xu Da felt unhappy and thought to himself, Tang Zhongbai, how dare you humiliate my sister like this!

He threw the book heavily on the table, stood up and went downstairs.

He wanted to see what else this Nanny Jiang had to say!

When Xu Da arrived at the restaurant, Nanny Jiang had already entered Lu Chaoyun's room. Tang Si was standing by the door, eavesdropping through the curtain.

"Ahem..." Xu Da patted his shoulder lightly and said unhappily, "Why, your master arranged for you to eavesdrop here to test whether the Jiang family is willing to send their daughter to your family to be humiliated, right?"

Tang Si quickly made a gesture to keep quiet and dragged Xu Da's arm to the tavern.

Shaking off Xu Da's arm, Tang Si said dissatisfiedly: "What are you saying, Master Xu? Can't you see how much my young master loves Miss Jiang? You are still my young master's good brother for saying such things."

Xu Da glanced at him and sneered, "If you bully my sister, I don't want you as a brother."

"What does Patriarch Xu mean by this? When did we ever bully Miss Jiang?"

Xu Da briefly explained Nanny Jiang's attitude towards marriage proposal to him, and said, "How can you propose marriage like this? Are you giving up your son? Or do you want to keep your sister-in-law as a concubine who can't be seen in public? You are dreaming!"

Tang Si slapped his thigh and was about to explain when Tang San spoke.

"Our Tang family has always been like this. The eldest son's marriage was chosen by him, and the marriage arranged by Madam was arranged according to the ideas of the eldest son and the eldest lady. Isn't it okay to be too open-minded? Your daughter is too difficult to serve."

Xu Da was shocked. These noble children always value family background, either matching each other or making money. This Tang family was so unique. He traveled a lot when he was young, and he had never seen noble children marry so casually.

"Why do you, the Tang family, care so little about your children's marriage?" Xu Da asked the question that was in his mind.

"I have to thank my old man for this. He was the youngest of five brothers. Perhaps he had seen his elder brothers' unclean backyards and caused unrest in the family since he was a child. After he became an adult, he was firm in his own ideas about his marriage. He was the youngest son, and the result of the old man's compromise was that he set a rule for his own family: his children were free to marry, his sons were not allowed to take concubines, and his daughters were not allowed to be concubines."

Tang Si took a sip of water and continued, "So, the old man's three sons all have only first wives. Earlier, the second master wanted to take a concubine from a small family, but the old man broke both of his legs. This family rule was implemented smoothly. So, Master Xu, where did you get the idea of ​​the concubine you mentioned? Not only did you insult Miss Jiang, but you also trampled our Tang family into the mud. This is really wrong."

Xu Da remained silent for a long time. It turned out that the Tang family had such family rules. It was truly a breath of fresh air among the aristocratic families.

He was originally a little angry, but after hearing Tang Si's words, his anger disappeared immediately.

He stood up and went back to the second floor. As long as Tang Zhongbai was nice to his sister, he had nothing to say.

In Lu Chaoyun's room, Nanny Jiang told her about the Tang family's past, and Lu Chaoyun dispelled her disgust.

When the two were chatting happily in the house, the door of the restaurant was banged on by someone, mixed with Zhou Huaihua's vulgar shouting.

Lu Chaoyun frowned and cursed in her heart, her whole family had been kicked out of the Jiang family tree, and they were already strangers to them, so why did she come to them?
