After all, they were newlyweds, and they still felt a little shy when they were together.

Jiang Ruobai ignored the flirting between his son and daughter-in-law, and, holding the tea, smiled: “Speaking of which, the Fifth Young Miss should also start looking for a match.”

“Fifth Sister has high standards. I don’t know what kind of family could catch her eye,” Zhang Mujin said with a smile.

“Didn’t she take a fancy to Wenren Zong last time?”

“That’s a lofty pursuit. The Wenren Family’s legitimate son won’t marry a concubine-born daughter as his main wife,” Jiang Ruobai was very clear about the position of his own children.

No matter how powerful the Jiang Family was, a concubine-born daughter was still a concubine-born daughter. In the eyes of others, she was born of a concubine and considered inferior, not worthy of being on stage.

Unless she married beneath her, as long as she tried to marry above her station, people would care about her status as a concubine-born daughter.

If Jiang Yuan had grown up by the side of her legitimate mother, her status could have been slightly elevated. Unfortunately, Lin Zizi had always been in poor health, and Aunt Bai was a competitive person.

Before Jiang Ning returned, the backyard of the Jiang Family had a taste of favoring concubines over wives. However, since Lin Zizi recovered, Aunt Bai could only step back.

From Jiang Ning’s perspective, Aunt Bai’s arrogance was due to Lin Zizi’s indulgence and unwillingness to deal with family affairs.

The marriage of a concubine-born daughter in a big family was embarrassing.

When women marry, they prefer to marry above their station, but if they do, people don’t want to marry a concubine-born daughter.

If they marry beneath their station, they feel a gap in their hearts.

After hesitating and delaying, when they become older, they still have to marry in the end.

In short, they can’t achieve what’s high or settle for what’s low.

Jiang Yuan’s age indeed couldn’t be delayed any longer.

Thinking about this matter, Jiang Ruobai couldn’t help but feel a headache.

“Take your time in choosing, what are we afraid of in our family, that our girl will marry late?” Jiang Ning comforted her father. “Tell me about the serious things in the palace.”

Jiang Yi laughed, “You rushed to meet us, and I thought you missed us. I didn’t expect it was just to inquire about the news in the palace. Girls are indeed extroverted.”

“Do you still want to be a royal uncle?”

“Hush!” Jiang Yi quickly silenced her, “My dear niece, can’t we be more careful with our words? Is this something we can just talk about casually?”

“Look at how hypocritical you are, in your own home, what are you afraid of?”

“I can’t win against you.”

“I won’t ask you anymore. You keep glancing at Zhang Mujin, why not go back to your room and get intimate with her?” Jiang Ning squeezed to Jiang Ruobai’s side, “Daddy is still the best, Daddy tell me.”

Jiang Ruobai laughed heartily, enjoying his little daughter’s affection.

Zhang Mujin was teased by her till she felt extremely awkward, and glared fiercely at her husband, “Just now you said there was a serious matter. You know Third Sister is worried and you still tease her. Tell her quickly.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you.”

“It’s still Sister-in-law who can control you,” Jiang Ning said.

“You ungrateful girl, I was busy during the day and couldn’t get away. I was afraid you would worry, so I specially asked He Tang to bring you news. Did you forget?”

“It was out of the blue, which only made me more anxious.”

“I never thought you would be so concerned about the Prince of Yu, I didn’t expect you to worry?”

“Ahem!” Jiang Ruobai coughed.

Seeing his father’s displeased expression, Jiang Yi dared not tease his sister any longer, cleared his throat, and said, “His Majesty only punished Prince of Yu for three days, which is considered a light punishment to appease the Imperial Court. Don’t worry.”

“Three days of kneeling and copying scriptures without eating or drinking, that’s nothing?”

“That’s why it’s called a punishment.”

“Not drinking water for three days can kill a person.”

“Prince Yu is a man of martial arts, so it won’t be that bad..”
