Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 364 Sweetheart

Upon hearing that none of the men on the list were suitable, Madam Zhang was furious. The reason Lu Yuntang's marriage had been repeatedly delayed was due to the Lu family's reputation; their bad reputation in the past year or two had removed them from the marriage lists of high-ranking clans. Things had improved slightly since Lu Jing became regent, but she hadn't expected that the men seeking engagement to Lu Yuntang would be of such poor character.

Zhang was so anxious that her throat hurt. Su Qingwan comforted her, saying, "Mother, these clans don't mean to deceive you. They genuinely believe that it's not a big deal for a man to have concubines or maids. If he frequents brothels, he'll just get a reputation for being a playboy, and he'll be able to turn over a new leaf after marriage. Or maybe they just think their own sons are all good. Don't worry about this. My third sister has a good temperament, is dignified and quiet, and won't have trouble finding a husband."

"Xiao Wu, you get along well with the young noble ladies and are well-informed. Keep an eye on Tang'er's marriage for her."

Su Qingwan wanted to politely refuse, but couldn't bring herself to say it. To be honest, her marriage into the Lu family had only brought trouble and gossip, and had also damaged the Lu family's reputation. She didn't think she had done anything wrong. But once she started seeking revenge, things got out of control, and Lu Yuntang was also implicated because of it, so she felt somewhat guilty.

She didn't want to get involved because marriage is a lifelong commitment. She helped Lu Yunshu back then because Lu Yunshu wanted to annul the engagement, which was a trap. So she helped Lu Yunshu, and the outcome was good.

Everyone knows that being a matchmaker is difficult. If the marriage is chosen well, everyone will be happy. If the choice is wrong, the girl will suffer and resentment will inevitably arise. Will she be blamed?

That's why there's a saying that marriage is a major life event, and parents and matchmakers make the decisions. Parents usually decide on their children's marriages, and outsiders can't interfere. Whether it's good or bad, the parents bear the responsibility and take responsibility.

She felt that the other person was a person of noble character, but that was only temporary. No one can guarantee a person's sincerity and character for a lifetime. Therefore, this matter was quite tricky for her.

Su Qingwan wouldn't take on such a task, but she couldn't very well refuse outright.

“Mother, I will keep my third sister’s marriage in mind, but I cannot choose for her. I can help inquire about suitable young men to see if they are a good match for her, but it is up to you, Mother, to make the final decision.”

Zhang nodded. "Of course!"

As Zhang's nanny accompanied her back to her courtyard, she couldn't help but say, "The princess isn't very concerned about the third young lady's marriage. The third young lady is the prince's own sister. She went to great lengths for the second young lady, so why is she so indifferent to the third young lady?"

"Shut up!" Madam Zhang scolded. "Xiao Wu is just Tang'er's sister-in-law, not her mother. I will naturally decide on her marriage."

The old woman dared not speak; she simply felt it was unfair, that the princess favored the two daughters of the eldest son's family, but was not as close to their own daughter, the third daughter.

Su Qingwan said she would help find a suitable candidate, and she didn't just give Zhang a perfunctory answer. She asked Lu Yunyan and Chen Lanzhu for help, as they were well-informed and willing to help find a candidate.

Actually, there are people with good character, but their family background might not be that good. When it comes to choosing a spouse, they can't find someone perfect. As long as it's suitable, and Lu Yuntang is satisfied, that's fine.

Su Qingwan was busy helping to find a suitable partner, but before she could even choose one, Lu Yuntang tearfully told Zhang that she had found someone she loved.

Zhang was so angry she almost fainted.
