But this person took the initiative to ask her out?
Master Meng said: “Madam, the Prince of Nanjiang County has a daughter who is about to reach a marriagable age. She was named the County Lord last year. The Princess of Nanjiang County invited you to lit an incense, is it because of her daughter?”
Madam Meng looked at herself in the mirror and smiled smugly: “Of course, looking at the inside and outside of the court, who’s young talent is comparable to our Nan’er? The princess also has a vision.”
Master Meng laughed: “How can you praise your son like this? But Madam, you have to be cautious and don’t act rashly.”
Madam Meng was puzzled: “What do you mean? I can’t be the master of my son’s marriage? This marriage event is not arranged by the parents?”
Master Meng shook his head: “Don’t you know Nan’er’s mind? His heart belongs to that Bai Zhi. If you insist on marrying him, you will anger him. Maybe something will happen.”
Madam Meng snorted coldly: “What can happen? When you get married, you get married. Will he still get angry?” After a while, she said: “It’s not that I am embarrassing him, you know, who is Bai Zhi? What is her background? She is Dongfang Mu’s granddaughter. Her mother divorced the Marquis of Changyuan Houfu, and she always went outside to see patients everywhere. Her reputation has long been disappeared. But that’s not all, if Nan’er can be happy and had his own family, I can open one eye and closed one eye, it’s not impossible to enter our door. However, she is Prince Jin’s fiancée. I heard the two of them are very close. They met when Prince Jin was in trouble before. Their feelings are deep and extraordinary. In this case, should I just let Nan’er have an unrequited love?”
“What kind of daughter-in-law can’t our Meng family ask for? Do you need to stay with unrequited love?”
Master Meng frowned but said nothing. Thinking of Meng Nan’s face that has become thinner and thinner recently. Meng Nan often goes out at night lately. He was once curious, so he quietly followed.
He found out that Meng Nan was standing alone outside Dongfang Family Mansion, while silently looking at the closed gate for an hour or two. Sometimes, when he returned home, he always had this spicy soup from a small restaurant in the street.
Or sometimes, he will order in the restaurant but will not eat it, he will just sit there in a daze.
He was once quietly Jin Shiwei. He said that Meng Nan and Bai Zhi had eaten in this restaurant. After that, Meng Nan came in there often. Sometimes he eats, sometimes he won’t, then just sit there for a while.
He knew right there that Meng Nan had such a deep affection for that girl.
It was just a pity, she was already the fiancée of Prince Jin. Otherwise, she was very suitable for Meng Nan. After all, she was Dongfang Mu’s granddaughter.
Maybe what his wife said was right. When you get married, you get married. When he had a wife, maybe he might forget about this love slowly.
“Alright, go ahead, I’ll find a chance to tell Nan’er about this.” Master Meng finally said.
Madam Meng was overjoyed. It would be best to have the support of her husband.

The next day, Madam Meng and the princess of Nanjiang County went to the Dafu Temple together, with the Lord of Yiping County.
The Lord of Yiping County Lord looked the same as the princess. She was very beautiful and dignified. Her every movement was like a noble person should have. Seeing this, Madam Meng nodded her head repeatedly. Her son deserved someone like her.
The future madam of the Meng Family should be like this.
The princess of Nanjiang County was very strict with the lord of Yiping county. She seldom lets her go out, and she rarely shows her face at various banquets in the capital.
Madam Meng has never seen her, and naturally, she has never seen Madam Meng. Even Meng Nan, who was now a well-known person in the capital, has never met him. However, she heard that the son of the Meng family was very handsome.
She had seen Concubine Shu before. She was quite impressed by this imperial concubine because she was a very special woman.
