Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Reason Why Prince of Yu Chose Her
Translator: 549690339
Jiang Yan seemed lost in thought throughout the journey.
Upon returning to the Jiang Family residence, Jiang Ruobai, Jiang Yi, and the two aunts came out to greet them. There were also some unfamiliar faces Jiang Ning had never seen before.
The palace had already sent a eunuch riding a swift horse to deliver the good news that the Seventh Miss of the Jiang Family had been chosen by Prince Yu.
The entire family was overjoyed.
Even the madam and the young master and misses of the main branch of the Jiang family came as well.
Jiang Ruobai personally held onto his younger daughter’s hand, helped her get off the carriage and seated her in a wheelchair.
Soon after, an old servant followed, holding the hand of Sixth Miss and helped her down from the carriage as well.
All eyes were focused on the chosen Seventh Miss.
However, Aunt Hua was only concerned about her own daughter. She eagerly waited for Jiang Ning to get off the carriage, and Jiang Yan as well, but she couldn’t wait for her daughter and became anxious.
“Why didn’t Fifth Miss come back together?” She asked loudly.
This statement caught everyone’s attention. Jiang Ruobai looked back at the carriage and asked the coachman, “Jiang Fu, did Fifth Miss not come back together?”
Jiang Fu jumped off the carriage and glanced at Jiang Ning without daring to say a word.
“What’s going on?”
“Father, don’t worry. Fifth Miss didn’t get selected, and she was heartbroken. She decided to walk back by herself.” Jiang Ning finished explaining and winked at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan suppressed a smile.
This Seventh Sister was too interesting.
Following her might not be a bad idea.
At least she wouldn’t be bullied by Fifth Sister for no reason.
Jiang Ruobai frowned, “This child is too willful. Jiang Fu, go and bring her back.”
Jiang Fu quickly turned the carriage around to go back.
A group of people surrounded Jiang Ning, some offering congratulations, some praising, and some exchanging pleasantries.
Jiang Ning had never met the people of the Jiang Family’s main branch before, which showed that they didn’t take this newly returned legitimate daughter of the second branch seriously. The reason they came to greet her was simply because they learned that she had been chosen.
Jiang Mubai, the head of the main branch of the Jiang family, was Jiang Ruobai’s biological brother. He was not often in Chang’an, as he served as the Great General of the Southwest, commanding a large army.
The two brothers of the Jiang family, one civil and one military, were both important officials and highly valued by the Imperial Court.
This also showed that the influence and power of the Jiang family were unmatched for the time being.
Otherwise, with Jiang Yuan’s status, she would not dare to openly beat up Princess Ling’an in front of everyone, let alone talkback to the Empress.
Even though Jiang Yuan was pampered to the point of lawlessness, it was because the Jiang family held great power, and even the royal family had to give way to them.
This was not necessarily a good thing.
But… having great power was indeed quite satisfying.
At least now the people in the Jiang family were quite satisfied.
After hearing about the fight between the three sisters and Princess Ling’an, they didn’t take it too seriously.
Jiang Yi said, “Girls bickering and fighting is nothing.”
Jiang Ruobai thought his son’s words made sense, so he personally pushed Jiang Ning to the Black Bamboo Garden to see Lin Zizi.
The Jiang family would soon have a princess consort, which was a great joy and cause for celebration. Jiang Ruobai intended to discuss the matter with his wife.
However, Lin Zizi wasn’t concerned about these matters, but rather sighed with some worries when she heard that Jiang Ning had been chosen.
Although her spirits were not well, she hadn’t lost her mind.
“Old Master, don’t you understand why Prince Yu chose Ning’er?”
“I know.”
“If you know, then why…”
“I’m just afraid that His Majesty…” Jiang Ruobai snorted, “Even if Prince Yu marries Ningning for a purpose, it’s still better than marrying His Majesty!”
Lin Zizi frowned, “Prince Yu only wants to marry Ningning to please His Majesty, just to obtain that position. Won’t Ningning suffer in Prince Yu’s residence? With her frail body… She’s my daughter; I can’t bear it.”
Jiang Ruobai was taken aback, “Zizi, you..
