Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 48 The Duke’s Mansion actually picked her. Do they think her son is just a nobody?

"Duke, look how well matched your Second Miss and Young Master Sun are. They are both talented and beautiful." The matchmaker was all smiles.

Ji Xiuxu wanted to accept the marriage proposal, but seeing his father's gloomy face, he dared not speak.

The matchmaker was puzzled. She had seen the young master of the Taifu Mansion before. He was very handsome and did not dislike the second Miss Ji. Where could she find such a husband?

"This is a marriage that only happens once in a lifetime," the matchmaker advised again.

When Mrs. Taifu saw that the Duke's Mansion hadn't replied for a long time, she put away her smile.

The Duke's Mansion actually looked down on her son.

She originally didn't like Ji Anyu's divorce, but her son liked her, so she had no choice but to agree to propose marriage. Unexpectedly, the Duke's Mansion chose her. Did they treat her son as a nobody?
She directly asked the old Duke who was in charge.

"What do you think? The betrothal gifts won't be a problem for the Taifu Mansion, and it will definitely bring honor to the Duke's Mansion."

Ji Chengting knew that the son of the Grand Tutor was a good man, but he wanted Ji Anyu to marry into the Eastern Palace even more.

I asked the nanny to help ask the Queen yesterday, but I haven't received a reply yet.

"Madam Taifu, can you give me three days? After three days, I will give you a definite answer."

"Ok."

Ji Chengting looked around at the gifts placed in the room.

"Madam Taifu, please take these things home first."

Madam Taifu raised her eyebrows. After hearing what the old Duke said, this marriage might not be possible.

She smiled without reaching her eyes and said, "Okay, goodbye."

After the people left, Ji Xiuxu humbly persuaded Ji Chengting to agree to the marriage.

"Father, please give up. If the Queen had chosen An Yu, she would have summoned An Yu to the palace long ago. Last night, I asked the Crown Prince about it, and he said that he disliked An Yu's vulgarity, not to mention that An Yu had been married before."

"What do you know? There is a precedent of the emperor marrying a second-married woman as his queen. An Yu is my blood, and I will definitely help my own granddaughter. An Yu is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion."

"Dad!" Ji Xiuxu held his forehead with his hand, feeling very disappointed.

"The Crown Prince has already made it clear that as long as the Duke's Mansion still recognizes Yunchu as the Duke's legitimate daughter, he is willing to marry Yunchu. They love each other, so why do you want to break up this perfect couple?"

Ji Chengting remained silent. He still wanted to bring the prince and An Yu together.

An Yu has been back at the Duke's Mansion for some time, and her appearance and temperament are becoming more and more like her grandmother.

Her grandmother was the most beautiful woman in the capital back then, so An Yu couldn't be much worse.

Outside the side door, Ji Yunchu clenched her teeth in anger.

When she heard that the Grand Tutor's Mansion was seeking to marry Ji Anyu, she dragged her sick body and secretly ran to the front yard. She wanted to see if the Grand Tutor's son had come and whether he was that wild man.

Unexpectedly, she heard Ji Chengting secretly trying to steal her girl behind her back.

Over the years, she has worked tirelessly to secure the position of Crown Princess and has guarded it strictly; she would not allow a bitch who came along halfway to snatch it away.

The Duke's Mansion will sooner or later become alienated from her, and she only has the Crown Prince to help her.

Ji Yunchu returned to Meihua Courtyard exhausted. When she passed by Chaoyang Courtyard, she heard the laughter of the maids coming from inside and clenched her hands.

Sooner or later she would send these people to the farm, no, sell them all!
"Miss, the eldest lady stood outside the yard and watched for a long time."

"Don't worry about her, or she'll get dizzy and blame me for it."

"How's the investigation going?"

"The Duke did not agree immediately. Please reply to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion in three days."

Ji Anyu breathed a sigh of relief and just didn't agree immediately.

She remembered that in her previous life, the son of the Taifu family married a girl from another family. The couple loved each other and lived in harmony. The women in the capital envied them privately. "Let's go to the street."

……

"Ziyou, listen to your mother's advice. Change a girl. The Duke's Mansion probably has other plans for Miss Ji's marriage. Just give up on this idea."

Madam Taifu stood in front of the desk, looking at her son lovingly.

"Mother, perhaps this is a test from the Duke's Mansion for my child."

Sun Ziyou glanced at the screen beside him with a smile.

"After all, Miss Ji has just returned home, and we are going to marry her back to the Taifu Mansion. As parents, we will be reluctant to let her go."

Madam Taifu rolled her eyes at her son.

"What are you reluctant about? I've heard from others that the Duke and his wife prefer Miss Ji, and Miss Ji's grandfather is the only one who favors her a little."

"Although the old Duke is old, he is still the one who makes the decisions in the Duke's Mansion. It must be that the child did something wrong and the old Duke is not satisfied. Since the old Duke said that he would give a reply in three days, then let's wait for three days."

"You... are so stubborn! I'm waiting for you to hit your head against the wall!" After saying this, Mrs. Taifu left angrily.

Sun Ziyou picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip of tea. When the person behind the screen came out, he smiled sweetly.

"Ajing, you heard it with your own ears. It's not that I don't want to marry your Xin Jiaojiao, but her grandfather has other plans. I think her grandfather wants to marry her to..." He pointed to the sky.

"Leave it to me to persuade the old Duke, and you just need to come and propose marriage in three days." Shen Jing's expression did not change, but it made people feel cold for no reason.

"Ah Jing, you owe me a big favor. Although my family is not very high in the court, my father is a veteran of three dynasties. He was born with a son like me in his old age. My family regards me as a treasure. There are many girls who want to marry into my family."

Sun Ziyou had a teasing look on his face.

"Now the whole capital knows that the Imperial Tutor's Mansion went to the Duke's Mansion with a lot of fanfare to ask for Miss Ji's hand in marriage, but was treated coldly by the Duke's Mansion. I had to return with the betrothal gifts in disgrace. Three days later, I have to go to the Duke's Mansion again with the betrothal gifts. I wonder how they will laugh at me behind my back."

Shen Jing's eyes were filled with apology.

"Ziyou, I've made note of this. Of all the people I've chosen, you're the one I'm most satisfied with. If she marries someone else, I really won't feel at ease."

He was afraid that Ji Anyu would not live a good life after he passed away, and only his grandson You would help him treat Ji Anyu well.

Sun Ziyou didn't want to see Shen Jing making arrangements for his funeral.

"Forget it, forget it. Who told me to get involved with you?"

Seeing this, Shen Jing smiled in front of his grandson Ziyou, which was a rare occurrence. Then he began to talk about the palace banquet and asked his grandson Ziyou to keep a close eye on the second prince.

He instructed his grandson Ziyou to do a few more things and then left the study.

I met Nanny Yang on the way.

"My Lord, I just heard from Madam that the young master went to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage. Do you know about this?"

"know."

Seeing the prince's indifferent expression, Madam Yang couldn't help wondering why the prince reacted like this, didn't he like Miss Ji Er?

She watched the prince grow up and knew that he had a cold temper and would never take the initiative to teach a girl how to write. He would only do it because he had a good impression of her.

"My Lord, Miss Ji is a very nice person, and she is very smart."

Nanny Yang smiled meaningfully and shouted in her heart.

You should take advantage of the fact that the young master has not yet gotten engaged to Miss Ji Er and take preemptive action. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever.

Shen Jing looked at Nanny Yang strangely, but considering that Nanny Yang had watched him grow up, he would not let Nanny Yang's words go to waste, so he spoke.

"I know Miss Ji is a very good person. She saved me. Madam, you will go to the Duke's Mansion to teach her tomorrow. Please take care of her. She grew up in the countryside and sometimes does things recklessly. If she offends you, please forgive me."
