Chapter 1290 Parrot Looking for Someone (3)

Xiangyun said: "No, I came here to see your boss. Please ask the shopkeeper to take a message to her. I will come here tomorrow to wait for the letter."

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper readily agreed and said: "It happens that the boss will send someone out to deliver beads tonight. I will pass your message to you. If nothing unexpected happens, the boss will summon you tomorrow!"

Xiangyun thought for a while and said: "Don't mention my visit to your boss to others. If anyone asks, just say I came to see the jewelry!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Don't worry, Madam. My mouth is the tightest. Even a shovel can't pry it open. No matter who asks, I will just say you came to see the jewelry. Haha, oh, by the way, there are indeed some good things in the shop now. Wouldn't you like to take a look?"

Xiangyun shook her head and said: "No, I have something else to do." After that, she took Cuiwen and Cuilu out. When they got outside, Cuiwen looked around and said, "Madam, where are we going now?"

Xiangyun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Mu Mansion. Maybe Caiwei will go back to her parents' home today."

It was lunchtime. If it were normal, Xiangyun would not choose to visit someone else's house at this time, but she was in a hurry now, so she didn't think much and rushed to the Mu Mansion.

After entering the mansion, she realized her rashness.

The Mu family had guests today, and Du was entertaining the guests at this time. Xiangyun had seen the two guests. They were relatives of Caiwei's hometown. They were selling roasted goods. Their names were Aunt Mu San and her daughter Mu Cailian.

Seeing Xiangyun coming, Du was very happy. She pulled her to sit down without saying anything and insisted that she eat with them.

Mrs. Du said to Aunt Mu and her daughter: "Xiangyun is Caiwei's good sister and also the young lady of the Duke of Li's mansion. After Lian'er gets married, the two families will have to visit each other in the future. It's better to get familiar with each other now, so that Lian'er won't be in the dark when she gets married and won't know anyone."

Xiangyun looked at Cailian who was shy and said with a smile: "It seems that Miss Lian'er will get married soon, but I don't know which family she will get married with and when she will get married? When the time comes, I have to ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Cailian lowered her head shyly and smiled without saying anything.

Mrs. Du added a chopstick of food to Xiangyun and put it on the plate in front of her, saying, "Lian'er is destined to be the only son of the Duke of Ying'an, the direct nephew of the Empress Dowager. Although she is a second wife, fortunately, the first wife did not leave any offspring when she died, only two concubines who did not grow up. In a few years, they will only be two dowries. Lian'er will be the main wife when she enters the house, and there will be a chance to give birth to a legitimate eldest son to inherit the family business in the future. The most rare thing is that the matchmaker said that Lian'er will be in charge of the household affairs when she enters the house. It can be seen that the Duke of Ying'an is very sincere about this marriage!"

"Auntie!"

Cai Lian said coquettishly, and her face became even redder with shame.

Third Aunt Mu sighed, "It doesn't matter whether he is in charge of the household affairs or not. I just don't know what kind of character this Mr. Ji has. Will he be able to take good care of my Lian'er in the future? Will he look down on her? After all, her family background is obvious. Alas!"

Xiangyun was surprised and disdainful when she heard that the Ji family had condescended to marry with Third Uncle Mu's family.

Could it be that the Ji family has fallen to the point where they have to use this method to maintain the emperor's favor?

Yes, the Empress Dowager treated the Emperor and Empress Dowager Mo very badly before, and even the Duke of Ying's Mansion obviously stood on the side of Concubine Jin and her son. It would be strange if the Emperor didn't hate them. Maybe he would settle accounts with them one day. If they could marry the Empress's sister, at least the Emperor would be afraid of the Empress's face and would not easily punish them.
