When the lady heard that Xiao Jialan was a young lady from the Duke's Mansion, she quickly returned the courtesy and said, "It turns out to be Miss Ye. This trivial matter is nothing to worry about. We are the female members of the Wang family, and this is my daughter Qingtong."
Wang Qingtong knelt down and saluted Xiao Jialan and called out: "Miss Ye."
Xiao Jialan smiled slightly and said: "I have heard of the name of Sister Wang for a long time, and I am finally lucky enough to meet her today. I wonder why you two came to Taihe Building?"
Mrs. Wang said: "To be honest, my daughter has reached the age of leaving the cabinet. The official media mentioned a marriage to Qingtong a few days ago. I brought her here today to have a look."
Xiao Jialan pretended to be curious and asked: "I wonder which family the young master is from?"
Mrs. Wang said: "It's Mr. Mu from the General's Mansion."
Xiao Jialan was shocked: "General Mu's son, Mu Rufeng?"
Mrs. Wang knew that the Duke's Mansion had always been on good terms with the General's Mansion, and she must have known a thing or two about Mu Rufeng's character. She asked, "May I ask Miss Ye, what is wrong with Mr. Mu?"
Xiao Jialan quickly shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Mu is a talented man and a loyal general, but..."
She lowered her voice and said, "I heard from my elder brother that Mr. Mu's evil spirit is a bit strong, but I don't know if a weak girl like Sister Wang can suppress it?"
Mrs. Wang was obviously shocked: "This? Is this credible?"
Xiao Jialan said: "I just listened to what the elder brother said casually. Madam, there is no need to take it seriously."
After saying that, she gave way: "Jialan won't disturb Madam and Sister Wang."
Mrs. Wang nodded slightly and immediately took her daughter into Taihe Building.
But when Wang Qingtong entered, he turned back and glanced into the distance.
Xiao Jialan followed her line of sight and saw a man standing at the corner of the street. He was dressed in a well-worn Tsing Yi, with a long body and an aura of nobility.
He stood there looking at Wang Qingtong from a distance, his eyes filled with invisible emotions.
In the previous life, Xiao Jialan had met this man in the Prince's Mansion, and Yuan Chen had a very pleasant conversation with him and became a close friend.
He also said that he and Mu Rufeng, both civil and military, would be his right-hand man in the future.
This man is Shen Huaiting, a poor and down-to-earth boy who lived in the Wang family as a teacher.
In the previous life, because of Yuan Hao's secret manipulation, Shen Huaiting and Wang Qingtong missed it.
Nothing can be said now to separate the lovers.
Xin Ruyi came over and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Jialan said: "Nothing, let's go."
She took Xin Ruyi into Taihe Building and went to the private room on the second floor. She happened to meet Mrs. Mu and Mu Rufeng talking to Mrs. Wang.
But Mu Rufeng was obviously a little distracted. He inadvertently looked up and saw Xiao Jialan and Xin Ruyi coming upstairs.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to go over, he was stopped by Mrs. Mu and said: "Rufeng, please hurry up and invite Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang in."
Mu Rufeng could only hold back her thoughts and invited the person into the private room.
Su Xinyue spotted Mu Rufeng's figure with her sharp eyes, and she said, "Isn't that Mu Rufeng? Why is he here, still with the lady just now?"
Xiao Jialan said: "Mu Rufeng is here to see Miss Wang today."
Su Xinyue didn't quite understand, so she asked curiously: "What does it mean to look at each other?"
Xiao Jialan explained: "It means that the two families intend to marry each other. Let the other party meet first to get to know each other and see if it is suitable?"
