After Zuo Xiangning sent Jiang Ruochen and Zuo Zimo away, she didn't know if she was too sensitive. She found that Mrs. Jiang seemed to be much colder to her.

She secretly observed the eldest aunt of the Jiang family and found that she was still the same as before, and she was secretly relieved.

She guessed that the old lady most likely knew that she rejected Jiang Ruochen.

She made some soft snacks every day and gave them to Mrs. Jiang. When she went there, she would either rub her back or squeeze her legs.

Mrs. Jiang has always been indifferent to Zuo Xiangning.

She was indeed a little dissatisfied.

She originally asked Jiang Ruochen before the Chinese New Year: "You are not young now, and marriage should be put on the agenda. What do you think?"

Jiang Ruochen hesitated and only said: "My grandson is not in a hurry."

"I think Xiang Ning is a good girl. I'd like to mention it to your aunt in a few days..." Before Mrs. Jiang could finish her words, she noticed that Jiang Ruochen's eyes had become sparkling.

Old Mrs. Jiang stopped talking and looked at Jiang Ruochen with a smile.

Jiang Ruochen's face became increasingly red as she stared at her, "Grandma——"

"What's wrong?" Old Mrs. Jiang deliberately teased this dull eldest grandson.

Jiang Ruochen asked awkwardly: "You...what do you want to tell your aunt?"

Old Mrs. Jiang smiled and said: "Xiang Ning is not young anymore. I want to tell her my cousin."

Jiang Ruochen's expression suddenly changed, and he asked nervously: "Whose family does grandma want to tell sister Xiang Ning?"

Seeing Jiang Ruochen's nervous and anxious look, Mrs. Jiang suddenly felt a little afraid to mention his marriage to Zuo Xiangning.

If this fails again, how big of a hit will his grandson be?

But Jiang Ruochen's thoughts have been aroused by Mrs. Jiang. Even if Mrs. Jiang doesn't mention it, he himself can't help it.

"Grandma, my grandson has something to ask of you." Jiang Ruochen said and knelt down in front of Mrs. Jiang.

Old Mrs. Jiang felt a little unhappy, "How big of a deal is it to kneel down on your knees? Can a man kneel down easily if he has gold under his knees?"

Jiang Ruochen hesitated for a moment, did not get up, and then said: "Grandma, my grandson would like to ask my grandma to propose marriage to my aunt again for my grandson."

Mrs. Jiang looked at the calm and obedient grandson in front of her and was speechless for a moment.

She wanted to fulfill her grandson's wishes, but she didn't like that her grandson valued a woman so much.

But this thought only flashed through Mrs. Jiang's mind.

Fortunately, her grandson liked her "granddaughter", so she accepted her.

"You get up first." Old Mrs. Jiang waited for Jiang Ruochen to stand up before continuing: "You can return to your post with peace of mind. I will pick a time to mention this matter to your aunt, but you must also be mentally prepared. Whether things work out or not, it’s all God’s will.”

"Grandson, thank you grandma." Jiang Ruochen happily saluted Mrs. Jiang several times.

Old Mrs. Jiang glared at him angrily, "Look at your potential, let your father see it, and he won't kick you!"

Jiang Ruochen giggled "hehe" with a cheerful smile on his face, "Isn't this in front of grandma?"

"You are doing well in your post. I have a grandmother at home." Old Mrs. Jiang said with a loving smile.

Jiang Ruochen grinned and walked out.

Old Mrs. Jiang felt a little more affectionate towards Zuo Xiangning in her heart, and regarded her as a member of the Jiang family. She also made up her mind and planned to tell her eldest daughter-in-law about this matter after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

But on the night of the fifth day of the first lunar month, it was already dark, and Jiang Ruochen walked into her room with an ugly face.

"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Jiang asked worriedly, "But what's wrong with you?"

"Grandma, please don't propose marriage to your aunt again." Jiang Ruochen said, "My grandson thought about it and felt that he and sister Xiang Ning are not suitable for each other. You'd better not mention it again."

Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Ruochen suspiciously, "What is going on?"

"My grandson just thinks that sister Xiang Ning is good-looking and has a good temperament, so he wants to get closer to her. But after seeing his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he thinks it's better to marry one..."

Jiang Ruochen thought for a moment and said, "My grandson wants to marry someone like my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Ruochen and agreed in a deep voice, "Okay."

When Jiang Ruochen left, Mrs. Jiang stood up and walked to the door. Looking at her grandson's lost figure, she vaguely felt that there was something else going on.

"Go and ask the uncle who he has seen today and when he saw them." Old Mrs. Jiang told Mrs. Wu beside her.

"I'm going to ask at the second door now." After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she glanced at Old Mrs. Jiang, and when she saw that the old lady didn't stop her, she hurriedly walked out.

Now we are in Zuofu, and there are people from Zuofu everywhere. If we don't ask questions well, it will easily reach Jiang's ears.

Only the woman on the second door, no one usually pays attention to her, but she sees the most things.

Less than two quarters of an hour later, Mrs. Wu ran back and said: "The uncle went to Xianglan Zhai this evening, and then Master Zixi went to the uncle's yard, and then Master Zixi went to Xianglan Zhai. The uncle came in to see me. you."

Mrs. Jiang immediately guessed what happened.

She suddenly felt dissatisfied with Zuo Xiangning.

After all, Zuo Xiangning was just her daughter's concubine. For her to marry the eldest grandson of their Jiang family, that was already a step ahead for Zuo Xiangning, a concubine.

Even the queen is also her granddaughter. Who will be alienated and who will be dear to her is really uncertain!

But no matter what she thought, Zuo Xiangning was respectful to her and more filial than before. Even her two granddaughters were not as dedicated to her as she was.

She took the forehead wipe that Zuo Xiangning had embroidered for her, looked at the vivid plum blossoms embroidered on it, and sighed softly.

In fact, she had also thought about it in the past few days. If Zixi could speak to Ruochen on her behalf, it would show how important she was to her grandson.

There was also Zuo Xiangrong in the palace. Although he had given her things several times before and after the year, she had seen them all. Every time, the little eunuch gave Zuo Xiangning a box alone.

Zuo Xiangning is not stupid. She knows her position in the hearts of everyone in the Zuo family, but she still treats her so lowly. This is because she has relatives in the Jiang family and an elder in her heart, so she should be content. .

Otherwise, if something really breaks out, everyone will be in trouble.

What's more, Zuo Xiangning explained to Jiang Ruochen that she didn't want to delay him.

If Zuo Xiangning delayed talking, that would be the real harm to Jiang Ruochen.

When Mrs. Jiang understood this, she immediately felt extremely guilty towards Zuo Xiangning.

When she saw Zuo Xiangning again, Mrs. Jiang smiled and waved to her, "Come, sit here with grandma. I am discussing with your mother to watch the lanterns together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Zuo Xiangning smiled and sat next to Mrs. Jiang, clearly feeling that Mrs. Jiang's attitude towards her had changed.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Looking at it now, this matter should be considered a thing of the past, right?
