Chapter 258: Which Family Has This Type of Daughter?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Miss Mu sighed, “I think he’s quite good. We should set it in motion. Can’t you see how many girls are interested in him?”

“But you’re a princess. How can anyone compare to you? If he chose one of those ladies in bad taste, wouldn’t you be wrong to choose him?” “Feng’er should give up studying and focus on martial skills.”

“But we’re not at war anymore.”

“We’re not fighting in the north, but there are still battles in the east, south, and west. Gold always shines. You saw that. With a wave of my future mother-in-law’s hand, it could block thousands and break the defense.

“Hmm, that lady from the Qiao family is enigmatic.”

Miss Mu grinned with pride, “Hmph, it’s not just about that; it’s also about her

family’s food and the exotic goods from the embroidery workshop. I won’t

marry anyone other than Yunfeng.”

Qiao Mai made a disapproving face. She was a princess, yet she had put herself in this situation for food and clothing. She found it amusing.

“Princess, you should think twice. Our side won’t approve of this marriage.”

“Then we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Once I decide on a man, even the emperor won’t question it. Unless my parents don’t care about me.”

Despite the advice from her close attendants and nanny, Princess Mu was determined. It seemed she was dead set on her decision.

“You’d better keep this secret tightly. I have a private arrangement with him. He’s still young and needs to follow the path of the imperial examination. In any case, I returned to pave the way for him. I want him to achieve great success at a young age. Only then will my family look at him differently.” “Sigh, it sounds great. I hope everything goes your way.”

Qiao Mai raised an eyebrow and went to another part of the mansion. She happened to overhear the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife discussing their daughter’s matters.

“You’ve pampered her too much. She’s already at marriageable age, and matchmakers are almost knocking down our door, yet she refuses to agree to any of them.”

“Maybe she’s already found someone she likes.”

“Who? Who has she set her eyes on? It’d be great if she had found someone.”

“I’ve agreed to let her choose her husband. Even the emperor won’t interfere.

We shouldn’t meddle either.”

“If we don’t interfere, she’ll end up an old maid. Who will she marry? All the good ones will be taken by then.”

“We shouldn’t force her into something she doesn’t want.”

Qiao Mai listened and smirked. One side wanted a private arrangement, and the other was eager to arrange a marriage for her. Let’s see how this girl would handle it.

This girl had outwitted even her parents. It seemed like the future mother-in-law would need to be on her guard.

However, the Duke and his wife had their ways. To find out who this young man was, they just needed to ask the people around her.

After relentless probing, the Duke and his wife finally discovered the identity of the young man.

They couldn’t believe their ears. Their daughter had met this young man during a recent trip to the northern border.

What was even more surprising was that their daughter had made the first

move. She was doing it all for the sake of living in his house, enjoying his food, and wearing their embroidery.

The Duke and his wife were fuming.

How could their daughter sell herself for mere food and clothing? They angrily confronted her.

“Do we lack food and drink in our family? Huh?”

“Mother, their food is top-notch. Once you taste it, you won’t want to eat anything else. Besides, except for their lower social status, everything else is good in their family. I like them.”

“You… you… you are driving us crazy!”

“It’s true. Everything I said is true. Let’s not talk about the Qiao family’s mistress. Just consider County Governor Yuan. He’s a top scholar, the first-place candidate in the recent imperial examinations. He has made significant contributions to the court during this campaign. Father, when you were stationed at the northern border, didn’t you often praise him?”

The Duke remained silent throughout the discussion. The Duchess saw her husband nearly convinced by their daughter’s argument, so she poked him.

“But it’s not acceptable. You are the County Princess, and marrying into such a family would be an embarrassment for our family in the imperial capital.”

“Do we need others to laugh at us? Our family has been built through military achievements, not through political marriages. The Mu family does not engage in high-society politics. Our daughter will marry whomever she likes.” The Duke finally voiced his opinion, which left the Duchess almost fainting from exasperation.

“You two… You really are father and daughter.”

The Duke, being more thoughtful than the Duchess, led her back to the courtyard. When they sat down, the Duchess was still furious with him.

“Perhaps you don’t understand the Qiao family, my dear. I know them well.

Let’s not discuss how the Qiao family rose to power. Instead, consider Madam

Qiao herself, who is a remarkable person.”

“Humph, you’re taking your daughter’s side. Of course, you’ll support her.”

“Not really. The bodyguard I assigned to our daughter is one of the most formidable martial artists in the martial world. He got injured during my withdrawal from the border region. Can you guess who inflicted those injuries?”

“You don’t mean it was Madam Qiao, do you?” The Duchess rolled her eyes.

“It was her. She incapacitated the bodyguard with a single strike.. Can you imagine how high her martial skills are?”
