When Jia She thought about having a son-in-law as good as Sun Shaozu, he was so happy that he smiled all the way to Rong Xi Tang.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Yuanyang lifting the curtain and coming out. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the old lady?"

Yuanyang said: "The old lady is chatting and laughing with the girls."

"Oh." Jia She looked at her fair face, exquisite figure, and increasingly beautiful appearance, and could not help but feel itchy, "Yuanyang, you are not a child anymore, and there is no one around you who understands you. How about this..."

Yuanyang didn't wait for him to finish and said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, Master, but I am not thinking about those things. Besides, the old lady can't leave her alone, so there is no need to mention this matter anymore."

Jia She was the eldest master of the Rongguo Mansion. He never expected that he would be humiliated by a young girl. He was not given any face at all and was a little annoyed.

Yuanyang felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, "Master, please go in by yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

After saying this, she walked away without waiting for Jia She to speak.

Jia She looked at her slender and tall back, and a hint of dark light flashed quickly in his turbid eyes, but the occasion and timing were not right, so he did not say anything.

Grandmother Jia and a few others were talking, and when they saw Jia She come in, they ignored him.

Jia She felt a little strange. Seeing that there was no one in the room to talk about those things, he said, "You guys go play somewhere else first. The old lady and I have something to discuss."

After everyone had left, he stood beside Lady Jia, thinking about how to start the conversation, and did not notice the gloomy expression on Lady Jia's face.

Grandmother Jia seemed to be suppressing some emotion, and her tone was indifferent, "If there is anything important, just say it quickly. It's not like you to hesitate like this."

The girls in the Jia family are all the apples of Jia's eye. Jia She doesn't dare to get straight to the point right away. Hearing this, he didn't speak his mind directly. He asked indirectly, "It's okay for Tan's daughter, but Yingchun is also old enough to get married. What plans does the old lady have?"

Even though Grandmother Jia had not received the news in advance, she could guess a little after hearing his words. Seeing Jia She's attentive look, her anger grew even greater.

"How old is the second girl? As a father, you don't care about her on weekdays, but are you so anxious to marry her off?" Grandmother Jia looked very dissatisfied, and her sharp eyes made Jia She's heart beat fast. "You are cold-hearted, but I can't bear to let her go. If you can't tolerate her in your eyes, don't care about her anymore. I will take care of everything in the future."

Jia She said hurriedly: "Old lady, you are wrongly accusing your son. Yingchun is my own daughter. I love her so much that I can't tolerate her. What old lady said hurts my son's heart."

Grandmother Jia snorted coldly, "If that's the case, then let's keep her for a few more years."

Jia She was in a dilemma for a moment. Yingchun was young and could wait, but Sun Shaozu was not young anymore, so how could he wait any longer?

Besides, he had already promised Sun Shaozu, so how could he go back on his word?

What's more, someone like Sun Shaozu

Besides, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. Girls will always get married. Even if they stay for a few more years, they will still have to get married. The old lady is too soft-hearted.

Jia She was unhappy, but he dared not say a word. He could only coax and persuade, trying to change Lady Jia's mind.

"It's good that the old lady loves her, but with Second Girl's personality, if we don't start looking at each other early, I'm afraid there won't be anyone suitable for her when she gets to know her."

Grandmother Jia looked at him quietly, her expression not as stern as before. Jia She thought he had convinced her and became more motivated.

"Although I don't care enough about her as a father on weekdays, I will not be vague about important matters. Yingchun is my only daughter, so how can I not love her?"

"That's why I have to plan for her early on. I want her to live a comfortable life in the future."

"As for me, I don't care about family background. As long as the person has good character, talent, and gets along well with Yingchun, he is a good match."

Jia She smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, as if he had already seen Sun Shaozu's grateful look after the success.

Grandmother Jia suddenly said, "It seems that you have already chosen someone."

"Yes." Jia She said it without thinking, then thought about it, it has to be said, so he didn't think it was a big deal, and said directly: "Madam, as I said just now, that man has excellent character. Although his family background is not prominent, he is very motivated. I think he is a good match for Yingchun."

Grandmother Jia knew very well what kind of person Jia She was. Most of the people he associated with were those who were greedy for pleasure. It was hard to convince people when he said that the man was ambitious.

When Lady Jia thought about the news she had received in advance, she felt that there was something wrong with Jia She's current behavior.

"According to you, why didn't that person ask someone to come and talk to me, but instead asked you to tell me?" After all, he was her own son, and Grandmother Jia didn't want to embarrass him too much. She just hoped that he could think it through himself.

But Jia She did not understand her heart. His heart was filled with Sun Shaozu's infatuation and suffering. He thought that he must accomplish this matter in order to live up to his heart.

Facing the questioning of Lady Jia, Jia She was not panicked. "I think his family doesn't understand these etiquettes, but it doesn't matter. As long as his heart is good, Yingchun will not be wronged if she marries him."

As for Jia Yingchun's thoughts, Jia She didn't care at all. Since ancient times, marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers, and children have no say in anything.

But the old lady could not be easily persuaded. Jia She knew that she loved Yingchun and wanted to find a wealthy family for her. However, his daughter had such a sheep-like temper that even a wet nurse could control her. No matter who she married into, she would be at the mercy of others.

It would be better for her to marry Sun Shaozu. If she marries him, it would be fine if she lives a good life, but if she doesn't, it only means that she is incompetent.

Grandmother Jia looked at him coldly. This beast who was ready to sell her own daughter as a favor was actually her son.

"Since she doesn't know the etiquette, Yingchun will inevitably feel uncomfortable when she marries him. In my opinion, this is not a good match and there will be no good results."

Grandmother Jia tried to save face for Jia She and wanted to maintain the father-daughter relationship between him and Jia Yingchun, but Jia She felt that Grandmother Jia was stubborn and unreasonable, and he could only sulk in his heart.

He did not give up and continued, "Madam, the Sun family is humble, but the more humble the family is, the more humble they are. Just look at Sun Shaozu. At that time, his family was poor, and he became a disciple of my Jia family. Now that he has turned his life around, he treats me the same as before. It shows that he is not an ungrateful person."

Grandmother Jia was very disappointed with Jia She and sneered, "You are really blinded by greed. There is no need to say more about this matter. Even if I die, I will never marry my second daughter to such a two-faced rat."

Her hands were shaking with anger as she pointed at Jia She, and she could no longer suppress the rage in her heart.

"And you, thousands of taels of silver, a few cups of wine, and a few words, have made you dizzy and confused."

"Yingchun can't marry into the Sun family. If you want to marry, you can do it yourself. I won't stop you."
