“Oh, time to watch the play!”
Xiaoman cheered, stuffing a handful of fruit into her mouth and getting up to leave with her.
Wenren Zong stood up and asked from behind, “Ningning, there’s a restaurant here with amazing bass. Would you like to try it another day?”
“Sure.”
Jiang Ning replied simply.
Wenren Zong revealed a smile.
Xiaoman tilted her head and said, “Miss will have fish with Master Wenren.”
“Bass is really delicious,”
Jiang Ning laughed.
She knew Wenren Zong was expressing his feelings to her.
Wenren Zong came from a noble background, was gentle, polite, intelligent, and progressive. Especially, he was just too tender and considerate.
He was so much better than Li Hongyuan.
Jiang Ning had no reason to dislike him.
She was not a conservative ancient person, so why would she refuse a pleasant date?
Upon returning to the banquet, the play had already begun.
Lin Zizi and Madam Wenren were sitting together, beckoning her to come over.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan were each sitting among the young ladies.
Jiang Yuan’s temperament allowed her to blend in quite well, while Jiang Yan was more transparent but, being a daughter of the Jiang family, she wouldn’t be excluded and even made some friends.
Jiang Ning was pushed over by Xiaoman, and Lin Zizi pinched her face, complaining, “Look how cold your face is.”
Madam Wenren immediately ordered someone to bring a hand warmer and stuffed it into Jiang Ning’s hands, “Girls should keep warm. Don’t rely on your youth. It won’t be comfortable when you’re older.”
“Thank you, Madam,” Jiang Ning smiled.
“Ah, this child looks even more beautiful when she smiles,” Madam Wenren said enviously, pulling Lin Zizi, “Back then, I said we should arrange a childhood engagement for them. But your family turned around and promised her to the Prince of Yu.”
Was there really an arranged childhood engagement?
Lin Zizi laughed, “That was just a joke back then, nothing serious.”
“You may not have taken it seriously, but I have been concerned about it,”
This matter, if it weren’t for Jiang Ning’s disappearance, would have been treated as a real issue.
It’s a pity she went missing, so the whole thing faded away.
Nobody dared to mention it.
At this time, a noblewoman sitting nearby laughed, “Isn’t it better to resume the engagement now that they are both unmarried? There’s nothing stopping them.”
Divorced women with a bad reputation were difficult to marry, but remarriage for divorced women was usually easier.
However, upon hearing this, Madam Wenren and Lin Zizi remained silent.
Lin Zizi may dote on her daughter, but she was not blind. She knew that her daughter’s situation was not compatible with the clear and noble Thirteenth Young Master.
As for Madam Wenren, it was not because she was disgusted by Jiang Ning’s marriage and childbirth, but she considered the relationship with the Prince of Yu’s residence.
If they married Jiang Ning, the Wenren family’s relationship with the Prince of Yu would get worse.
Moreover, her son’s motives were not pure from the beginning, and she didn’t want to complicate things.
Thus, they didn’t want to talk about it.
Both sides fell silent, and they continued watching the play in silence.
After watching the play, eating at the banquet, it was time to disperse and return home.
Jiang Ning, anxious about the two little ones, hurried back after the banquet without waiting a moment longer.
Lin Zizi knew what was on her mind and didn’t delay, leading her sisters back to the Jiang family residence.
Jiang Ning didn’t even have time to change her clothes and went to see the children as soon as she returned.
The two children had just fallen asleep after eating, lying peacefully and sweetly on the small bed.
Jiang Ning kissed one and stroked the other, then finally felt satisfied and went back to change her clothes. Just as she finished changing, Jiang Yi came in, laughing and discussing their plans to open a restaurant together.
The siblings planned to go into business together.
Being an official couldn’t earn much money; they had to do business..
