Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 870 Consideration
The next day, the main gate of the Tang residence was wide open, and everything was tidied up neatly.

Madam Wang was waiting in the main hall early in the morning.

Tang Wan and Tang Jing stood behind her, both dressed in a manner that was neither impolite nor overly flamboyant.

Just after 9:00 AM, the gatekeeper came to report that the carriage of the Duchess of Anguo had arrived at the mansion gate.

Madam Wang hurriedly led her two daughters to the second gate to greet them.

Lady Anguo, surrounded by a group of maids and servants, slowly walked in.

"Greetings to the old lady." Madam Wang led her daughters forward to pay their respects.

Lady Anguo took two quick steps, offered a slight helping hand, and said with a warm smile, "Madam Tang, please rise. Misses, you may also refrain from such formalities. It is I who have troubled you."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone moved to the main hall and took their seats as guests and hosts.

After the maidservant served tea and snacks, the Duchess of Anguo smiled and glanced at Tang Wan and Tang Jing, lingering especially on Tang Wan. With a smile on her lips, she said, "Wan'er, thanks to your meticulousness and steadiness in handling the family matters last time."

She addressed the second young lady of the Tang family, Wan'er, directly to show her closeness.

Although her words were subtle, Tang Wan and Wang Shi both understood what she was referring to.

Tang Wan lowered her head slightly, her posture respectful: "Madam, you flatter me. I was just there by chance and did my best."

Lady Anguo nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at Tang Jing and praised, "Madam Tang is so fortunate that both of your daughters are so beautiful, elegant and dignified."

After saying that, Madam Feng looked at Tang Wan again, her eyes full of admiration, and said, "She is neither arrogant nor impatient, calm and composed, and even more rare is her kind heart. She is truly a rare find."

Such direct praise, especially coming from the Lady of Anguo, carries considerable weight.

Madam Wang felt both gratified and somewhat uneasy, and quickly said modestly, "Madam, you flatter me. My daughter is too young to deserve such praise."

Mrs. Feng smiled and chatted for a few more minutes about everyday matters, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

She seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled at Wang, saying, "Look at me, I've been so busy talking that I've left the two young people here feeling awkward. They must be getting bored while we're talking."

Then she turned to Tang Wan and Tang Jing and said in a kind tone, "You sisters can go for a walk in the garden or go back to your rooms to do your own things. You don't need to stay here with this old lady."

This is a considerate remark, and it's also common practice.

Unmarried girls are usually required to avoid discussing matters that may relate to their marriage.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang had some thoughts, but she wasn't entirely sure. In any case, the following topic was not suitable for her two daughters to hear.

So he said to his two daughters, "In that case, you may go down now."

Tang Wan and Tang Jing bowed and took their leave as instructed, waiting for the two sisters to disappear through the door.

Inside the main hall, only Lady Feng, the wife of the Duke of Anguo, and Lady Wang remained, along with their trusted servants standing at a distance. Lady Feng put down her teacup, looked at Lady Wang, and got straight to the point, her voice calm yet clear: "Lady Tang, I have come here today not only to visit and reminisce, but also because I have been solemnly entrusted by Her Highness Princess Changqing to discuss a very important matter with you."

When Madam Wang heard what Old Madam Feng said, her heart skipped a beat. She tried her best to remain calm and asked with a smile, "Please speak, Old Madam. What are Her Highness's instructions?"

Madam Feng slowly began to speak: "Her Highness the Princess greatly admires the character and virtue of your Second Miss. Her Highness wishes to arrange a marriage between Wan'er and His Highness the Prince of War, so that they may become a family of equals."

Despite being mentally prepared, Wang still felt a buzzing in her ears when she heard it with her own ears, and her hand holding the handkerchief tightened slightly.

This was far beyond Wang's expectations. Originally, Wang thought that the Duchess of Anguo might be here to propose marriage, and when she mentioned Princess Changqing, Wang thought that she might be a child from the Imperial Son-in-Law's family.

I never expected it to be the War King, and I never expected it to be his second daughter.

Wang forced herself to remain calm, but her face showed fear as she said, "This... Your Highness the Prince of War is of noble birth, while my daughter comes from humble origins. How could she possibly be worthy of Your Highness? We are truly, truly terrified by the Princess and the Old Madam's kindness and dare not presume to presume upon you."

She wasn't just putting on an act; she genuinely felt a bit apprehensive. The War King was a first-rank prince, and even now, let alone in the future, he was someone her family couldn't possibly be close to, especially since Wan'er was born out of wedlock. What was the princess thinking?

Madam Feng said sincerely, "Madam Tang, please do not belittle yourself. Her Highness the Princess has heard about Wan'er's deeds in the Northern Desert and praised her for her courage, wisdom, and benevolence, which are not comparable to ordinary young ladies. His Highness the Prince of War guards the Northern Desert and knows the hardships there. He also greatly admires and values ​​Miss Wan'er, a woman of such resilience and intelligence."

Upon hearing this, Wang understood what was going on, but she said nothing and asked no questions.

Lady Anguo observed Wang's expression and continued, "His Highness personally entrusted the matter to Her Highness the Princess, and Her Highness solemnly asked me to come. His Highness truly appreciates Miss Wan'er's character and virtue. Madam Tang, you are also aware of the situation at the Prince Zhan's residence; it is a peaceful place. If Miss Wan'er marries into the family, I cannot guarantee anything else, but given His Highness's character, he will certainly not mistreat her. This is not a bad match for the Tang family or for Miss Wan'er."

Feng's words were all reasonable, and she adopted an extremely humble attitude while praising Tang Wan herself to an extremely high level.

Instead of using his power to intimidate her, the other party showed respect and appreciation for her in every way.

When Lady Wang heard what the Duchess of Anguo said, aside from the initial shock and fear, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that with Wan'er's abilities, character, and appearance, she was worthy of anyone. Apart from the fact that she was born out of wedlock, there was no young lady in the entire capital who had Wan'er's full range of skills.

Madam Wang steadied herself and slowly said, "Madam, you flatter us. It is an honor for the Tang family that His Highness and the Princess value my daughter so much."

Madam Wang paused for a moment, looked at the Duchess of Anguo, and said carefully, "However, this matter is of great importance. Wan'er is still young, and her older sister is of marriageable age. I need to discuss this carefully with her father and also ask Wan'er for her own opinion."

After all, Wan'er has always been a person with her own ideas since she came back, so her life-long marriage should be discussed with her personally.

Moreover, Wan'er and the War King had met before, and she might have her own thoughts on whether they were suitable for marriage.

Hearing Wang's words, Madam Feng's smile deepened, and she said, "Of course. I came here today to convey this kind intention to Lord Tang and his wife. The specific details will naturally require careful consideration. There is no need for your household to reply in a hurry; you can take your time to think about it."

Hearing Madam Feng's words, Madam Wang felt somewhat relieved and quickly replied, "Thank you for your understanding, Madam. Once my husband returns home, I will certainly discuss this with him in detail and then report back to you."

With the business settled, the atmosphere returned to its previous warmth.

After chatting with Wang about some things in the capital, Feng got up to take her leave after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
