Chapter 786 Arranging a Marriage!
After reading several posts, Mu Xin Nuan carefully recalled whether she had met those gentlemen before.
"What do you think, Ah Nuan?" Jin asked with a smile.
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, "We are naturally not worthy of the Wang family. Even Wang Ziyu's younger brother is a legitimate son. If my sister marries into that family, she will probably only be a concubine. Our Mu family's daughters do not care about social status when they marry, but they must be the principal wife."
Madam Li wholeheartedly agreed, “Anuan is right. Xinyi’s status is probably not good enough for her. If she is to be a concubine, we should not pursue this marriage.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Xinyi was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.
She finally heard her aunt and elder sister speak up for her.
"Anuan, what do you think of the Liu family?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head again, "That's not appropriate either. Marrying this Lord Liu would make her his principal wife, but there's an eight-year age gap. Besides, Lord Liu's official rank is too low. If we give my sister to him, it would be like devaluing the Mu family's daughters. Second Aunt, you should know that besides Third Sister, there are two other young ladies in your household."
Jin thought about it and realized that made sense.
Although she's an illegitimate daughter, if she marries well, she won't completely ignore her family in the future. Perhaps they really can rely on her in the future.
Mu Xin Nuan went over the rest of the list one by one, but felt that none of them were quite right.
Mu Xinyi remained seated, quietly listening to Mu Xinnuan's analysis.
She herself thought it made sense.
Mu Xin Nuan simply threw all the posts aside, then looked at Mu Xin Yi, "Third sister, raise your head."
Mu Xinyi did as she was told, and at that moment, Mu Xinnuan could clearly see the emotion and tears in her eyes.
In fact, she naturally knew nothing about Mu Xinyi's character or knowledge.
When it comes to marriage, she couldn't make a definitive judgment right away.
After considering it for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Third sister, let me ask you this: would you rather marry into a high-ranking family, even as a concubine, or marry into a humble family, just for the position of the principal wife?"
"Elder sister, I will obey you and be your wife. I will never be a concubine in this life."
These words inevitably made Ms. Jin feel somewhat uncomfortable.
It seemed as if she, as the legal mother, often bullied the concubines.
"Okay, that's good. Now let me ask you again: would you rather marry someone with good character but an average family background, or someone with a good family background but an average character?"
Only by answering this question can we truly find out what Mu Xinyi is thinking.
I want to see if this younger sister has truly understood the matter of marriage. If she has, she will know what is most important after marriage.
"Elder sister, I am willing to marry a man of good character, though from an ordinary family."
Mu Xin Nuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Oh? Is that really true?"
"Elder sister, I would never dare to deceive you."
"That's good."
Mu Xin Nuan waved to her, and Mu Xin Yi glanced at her stepmother before carefully approaching.
"It's been years. I didn't get to see you the last few times I came back. Consider this a little gift for you, take it and play with it."
As Mu Xin Nuan spoke, she pulled a red gold hairpin inlaid with rubies from her hair.
Mu Xinyi was a little flustered, "Such a valuable gift, I dare not accept it."
"Alright, take it. We're all family, no need for formalities. Rongyue, take Zonghua and accompany the Third Miss out for a walk. It'll also be a good opportunity for Zonghua to get to know this Third Aunt better."
"Yes, ma'am."
Mu Xinyi understood that they must be discussing something, and it was probably inconvenient for her to be present.
"Second Aunt, Third Sister has grown into a beautiful young woman, but she is too thin. To be honest, I have a few good candidates here, but I'm afraid Second Aunt is reluctant to marry them off to someone far away."
In fact, Jin brought Mu Xinyi here today with this very idea in mind. Therefore, the posts she showed to Li earlier were all ones that she herself did not like.
Mu Xin Nuan, having been married for several years, was not blind; she had seen through many things but couldn't expose them.
Besides, since she's a girl from the Mu family, she should help her if she can.
“That would be great. It doesn’t really matter whether they’re near or far. You know, I still have a few unmarried people around me. Besides, this girl isn’t that close to me. In the end, it’s because of Yang’s death that we have a grudge.”
"Yang's death has nothing to do with you. It's better to speak frankly. I think my third sister is quite nice. When you have some free time, you can have her visit me more often."
"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance, Ah Nuan."
After they all left, Li said with some concern, "You child, aren't you a little too naive? You let her go to the East Palace, aren't you afraid she'll turn out like Xie Yilin from back then?"
"Mother, don't worry. My third sister's personality is very different from what it used to be. Perhaps it's because of Yang's death that she has come to understand many things. Don't worry, I'm not stupid. How could I just hand over my husband to someone else?"
"You know what I mean. But do you really have a few good candidates?"
"Well, I need to discuss this with Aze first. If he agrees, I'll send the candidate to my father. You can also keep an eye on things for Tingting."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble again."
After Mu Xin Nuan returned to the East Palace, she told him her worries that very night.
Duanmu Chuze didn't have too many objections. He had a good impression of Liu Tingting, but her status was a bit lacking. However, it was quite suitable for her to marry Wang Zhao.
"You're going to marry Liu Tingting to Fu Hongzhang?"
"Hmm, do you think it's feasible?"
"I'm afraid I should first inform the Fu family about this matter and ask for their opinion. Now, the Mu family's status has risen along with yours because of your position. The fact that you haven't married your sister off to someone of higher status shouldn't offend Father."
"Look at what you're saying. Do you think I'm only doing this for that reason? I genuinely think the second young master of the Fu family is quite good. It's just that I'm afraid he won't be interested in Tingting."
"Don't worry about that. I'll write a letter and have him come to the capital. Besides, isn't Wang Zhao working in our Eastern Palace? He's the Chief Secretary now. With that position, he's absolutely perfect for Mu Xinyi."
"Okay, thank you for the hard work."
