Jiang Ruobai pondered, “About this matter… we should ask for our daughter’s opinion.”

“I think so too. Last time, she didn’t want to marry the Prince of Yu, but you insisted that she participate in the selection, and as a result, she suffered so much.”

“It was my mistake.” Jiang Ruobai patted her hand and sighed.

He thought he was giving the best to his daughter, but he didn’t realize that it was only what he thought was best.

It wasn’t what his daughter truly wanted.

So this time, he decided to let Jiang Ning make her own decision.

The couple went to Jiang Ning’s courtyard, each holding a grandson, and looked at the bracelet on Jiang Ning’s wrist. They exchanged glances with each other.

In the end, it was Jiang Ruobai who coughed lightly and spoke, “Seventh Sister, your mother has told me about Wenren Zong’s proposal.”

Jiang Ning looked over, “What does Father think?”

“I have no objections to the Wenren Family, and I quite admire Wenren Zong as a person. He is young, capable, and steady. He’s a rare talent. However—”

Jiang Ning knew that he would say “however,” so she remained silent and waited for him to continue.

Jiang Ruobai smiled, “But what I mentioned is based on matters of the Imperial Court. After all, this marriage is about the two of you, and I’m not very clear about his character in private.”

Jiang Ning replied, “Thirteen is a very good person.”

“Last time, it was my fault for being too domineering. This time, your mother and I have discussed, and we will let you make the decision. Whether you are willing or unwilling, we will support your choice.”

Lin Zizi nodded as well.

Jiang Ning was touched, “Father, Mother, thank you.”

“We don’t need to be so polite between father and daughter,” Jiang Ruobai waved his hand, “Now tell us, what do you plan to do?”

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, “I think Thirteen is very good, and he would make an excellent husband. However, the Wenren Family has been leaning towards the King of Chen in recent years. If I marry Wenren Zong, it would essentially tie our Jiang Family to the King of Chen’s side. I don’t know much about political affairs, so I want to hear Father’s opinion.”

Jiang Ruobai looked at his daughter with surprise and delight, “I didn’t expect you to consider this aspect.”

She had gone missing as a child and grew up in a commoner’s family so he assumed that she must not have read any books or recognized any characters.

He didn’t expect her to be elegant and know the rules, and he just hoped she wouldn’t be too rude.

Who knew that she would not only be gentle and lovely but also knowledgeable about many things?

Even if he had raised her by his side from a young age, he might not have been able to raise her any better.

This could be seen from the example of her sisters Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan.

Jiang Ruobai felt comforted.

Jiang Ning laughed, “After all, I am the daughter of Prime Minister Jiang. I should have a broader perspective and not be easily swayed by a man’s sweet words.”

“Haha, well said. You are indeed my Jiang Ruobai’s legitimate daughter.” Jiang Ruobai became even happier, “Since you can see things so far, your father is even less worried about this marriage. You can decide everything by yourself.” “Father, what if I choose Wenren Zong? I know you don’t like the King of Chen, and I don’t want to bring trouble to the whole Jiang Family because of myself.”

After all, from the current situation, it seemed inevitable that the Prince of Yu would become the Crown Prince.

The King of Chen, who had always been competing fiercely with the Prince of Yu, was bound to fail.

It wasn’t wise to associate with the King of Chen at this time.

Jiang Ruobai said, “Don’t worry, my daughter. I have seen many ups and downs in the court. Our Jiang Family has always been loyal to the Emperor, and besides, both of my grandsons are the offspring of the Prince of Yu. Even if you marry Wenren Zong, it won’t change our family’s position in the Imperial Court..”
