Since Aunt Zhang asked Cao Xiuling to replace Li Siyu's name, Aunt Zhang has been looking forward to someone coming to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage. But there was no hope.

However, within a few days, someone really proposed to the second lady of the Hou Mansion. Aunt Zhang was very happy when she heard that someone had come to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage to her daughter. She hoped that that person could be Ouyang Chengming, the son of Shangshu she had once met. But as soon as she inquired, her heart immediately cooled a lot, because it was Mrs. Hou's distant nephew who came to propose marriage. It is said that Mrs. Hou's distant nephew came to marry Cao Xiuling to fill the house.

Aunt Zhang knew that Mrs. Hou hated her to the core, and she would never allow her nephew to propose to Cao Xiuling, unless, her nephew was not a good person.

As soon as she thought of this, Aunt Zhang panicked. She only has Cao Xiuling, a daughter, and she only hopes that she can be happy in this life.

Aunt Zhang is Cao Xiuling's biological mother, so about Cao Xiuling's marriage, Hou Ye still wants to hear her opinion. So Aunt Zhang also went to see Jiang Ke, the nephew of Mrs. Hou, who came to propose marriage. To tell the truth, as soon as she saw Madame Hou's nephew, she didn't have a good impression of him in her heart, and the woman's intuition told her that this person would not be her daughter's lover.

So when Hou Ye asked her what she thought of this family business, she excused herself on the grounds that the eldest lady Cao Xue was not married.

Hou Ye didn't know what Aunt Zhang really thought in his heart, he said: "Although Jiang Ke is married to Xu Xian, his family background is good, and Xiu Ling is also a good family when he marries. This is actually a good home for Xiuling. You don't have to worry about Cher. ”

Mrs. Hou also said: "Jiang Ke's child is also good, Xiuling will definitely not be wronged when she marries." Since Jiang Ke has a heart for Xiuling, why shouldn't his sister come down, maybe she can achieve a good relationship. As for Xue'er, her fate has not yet arrived, and her sister must not delay Xiuling's family affairs because of Xue'er. ”

When Aunt Zhang heard Mrs. Hou say this, the uneasiness in her heart became even stronger. After so many years in the Hou Mansion, she is very clear about Mrs. Hou's temperament. She knew that Mrs. Hou would never want to see her good, so there must be something wrong with this family business.

Aunt Zhang said: "Mrs. Hou, the concubine knows that you are for the good of Xiuling, but this marriage is a big deal, can the concubine consider this matter?" "I said that I was considering, but I actually wanted to secretly explore Jiang Ke's foundation.

Mrs. Hou was not afraid of Aunt Zhang's private inquiry, because she knew that with Aunt Zhang's power, she would not be able to find out any useful information at all.

Mrs. Hou said: "Since this is the case, then give my sister a day to think about it." I hope my sister will be able to give me and the Hou Ye an answer tomorrow morning. Mrs. Hou said this, which was completely polite, because she was the master of the Hou Mansion, as long as she and Hou Ye agreed, the matter would be decided. Whether Aunt Zhang agrees or not has no impact on her.

Aunt Zhang went to Cao Xiuling's courtyard worriedly and told her about Jiang Ke's proposal to marry her. When Cao Xiuling heard that someone came to the door to propose to her, she was a little excited and a little shy in her heart.

But when she learned that the person who came to propose marriage was Mrs. Hou's distant nephew Jiang Ke, her complexion changed.

She naturally knew that Mrs. Hou hated their mother and daughter very much, and she was also very harsh on weekdays. Now that Mrs. Hou's nephew was going to marry her, she instinctively felt a little uneasy. Besides, she had heard that Jiang Ke had just died of his wife some time ago.

"Auntie, do you agree?" Cao Xiuling asked. She hoped that her mother-in-law did not agree.

Aunt Zhang said: "It's not up to me to decide on this matter, as long as Lord Hou and Mrs. agree, my opinion doesn't matter." But Madame nominally gave me a day to think about it, and I think it could be delayed for a day. Just don't know what will happen in a day? ”

She didn't know if her opinion would really be useful a day later. She also knows that although she is Cao Xiuling's biological mother, she is just an aunt, and Cao Xiuling's marriage is still decided by Mrs. Hou, the housewife.

Cao Xiuling frowned, "What kind of person is that Jiang Gongzi?" ”

Aunt Zhang said: "I don't know, I only met him once in a hurry, and to be honest, he didn't give me a good impression." So I put it off for a day, wanting to find out who he was. ”

Li Siyu knew how Aunt Zhang got to the top, so she knew that Mrs. Hou definitely didn't like Aunt Zhang in her heart. She thought the same as Aunt Zhang, there must be something strange about Jiang Ke's door-to-door proposal. This Jiang Ke is definitely not a good person.

However, if Jiang Ke is really not a good person, Hou Ye will not agree to marry his daughter to him! Thinking of this, she asked: "If Gongzi Jiang Ke is not suitable for the second miss, Master Hou should not agree!" No matter how Cao Xiuling is the biological daughter of Hou Ye, he will not push her to the fire pit.

Aunt Zhang sighed, "Hou Ye has a lot of trust in Madame, that Jiang Gongzi is Madame's nephew, and he was born well, Hou Ye thinks that it is Xiu Ling's blessing to be able to climb this family business, so naturally he will not object." Presumably I haven't inquired about Jiang Gongzi's personality. ”

Li Siyu said: "Since this is the case, let's take advantage of the fact that there is still time to quickly investigate Jiang Ke's background and see what kind of person he is." If he wasn't a good person, he would go to Hou Ye and refuse this family business. Although Master Hou took a fancy to Jiang Ke's family background and was worried about Mrs. Hou's face, Li Siyu believed that he would not send his own daughter to the tiger's mouth.

Aunt Zhang said: "I only know that he is the one who has died of his wife, and he wants to marry Xiuling as a continuation." I don't know anything else. I wanted to inquire too, but I couldn't find out about him. ”

Li Siyu frowned, Aunt Zhang is just a concubine, she has no power of her own inside and outside the Hou Mansion, and there is really no way to find out the background of a person who does not live in Luoyang. Presumably, Mrs. Hou also settled on her.

In fact, Mrs. Hou is not afraid of what Aunt Zhang finds out at all, because no matter what she finds out, it will not affect this family business.

Li Siyu thought about it, and finally remembered Fang Yu. Fang Yu is a doctor, and there must be many people who practice medicine and treatment, maybe he can find out about Jiang Ke. Didn't he say he owed himself once? Then this time I should ask him for a confession!

Li Siyu said: "Aunt Zhang, second miss, you first go through all your channels to inquire about the news of Jiang Ke, and I will also go to find someone to inquire, I hope we can gain something!"

In any case, you have to understand what kind of person this Jiang Ke is, if he is really not a good person, there is a reason to refuse. If they are good people, then Zhang's mother and daughter can also have a bottom in their hearts. As for whether they agree to this marriage or not, it depends on their mother and daughter's intentions.

However, Li Siyu's intuition told her that this Jiang Ke was not unreliable.
