Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Pledge Yourself to the Old Marquis_1

At this time, dusk had descended. The room was lit up by the yellow candlelight. The furniture arrangement around was old, appearing to have existed for many years.

Old Grandfather and Old Madam were seated in the two Imperial Tutor chairs directly in front of the entrance.

To the left were the first master, Wei Minghong, First Lady Mo; the second master, Wei Mingyong, and Second Lady of the Bai Family.

To the right were the newly arrived Third Lady Yun, Wei Yichen, Wei Qingwan, and Wei Yilin.

Wei Ruo had seen these people from the Wei Family of the capital city in her former life, so she had a good understanding of them.

The old patriarch was handsome but extravagant in his dual youth. He did not excel in literature or martial art repayments, taking over a title and becoming an idler for a few years, without achievments. However, he was very monogamous emotionally and never took a concubine after developing a strong bond with the old madam over the years.

The old madam came from a family of scholars. She had a gentle personality and really loved her children and grandchildren. However, she always considered the old patriarch’s wishes first.

First Lord Wei Minghong was robust and had a round figure. He looked simple-hearted. According to the memory of her former life, he was both jealous and ambitious.

His wife, Lady Mo, looked ordinary, was quiet and rarely spoke. The former master didn’t know much about her.

Wei Ruo had observed Second Lord Wei Mingyong personally. He was shrewd and eager for quick success.

Second Lady Bai was eloquent and adept at socializing. She could turn black into white with her glib tongue.

“Ruoruo, come and meet your grandparents,” Yun pulled Wei Ruo towards the old grandfather and old madam.

“Greetings to Grandfather and Grandmother,” Wei Ruo paid her respects to the elderly couple.

Then she greeted the First Lord, First Lady, Second Lord, and Second Lady sitting next to them.

“Greetings to Uncle, Aunt, Second Uncle, and Second Aunt.”

Those who hadn’t met Wei Ruo before scrutinized her carefully.

“Good girl, just as your Second Uncle described in the letter, you’re as radiant as a flower and very bright. You must have been tired from the long journey!” The old madam said, her face full of smiles and her eyes brimming with kindness.

Second Lady Bai chimed in, “Isn’t that the truth? I always thought my Wanwan was the most radiant child, but it turns out that you, the biological daughter of your mother, are even more lively. It’s just my misfortune that I was unable to bear a daughter!”

With that, Bai turned to Yun and continued, “You really are blessed, Sister-in-law! I am so envious of you!”

“Where are you going with this, Second Sister-in-law? Your three sons are each competent in their own right. It’s you who is truly blessed,” Yun quickly replied.

Bai laughed, “That’s incomparable to your good fortune, Sister-in-law! Not only is your second daughter about to marry a prince as a concubine, but your eldest daughter is also to marry into the Marquis’s Residence. All this wealth and fame would make anyone envious!”

“What is the Second Sister-in-law talking about? A Marchioness?” Yun was visibly taken aback.

Next, she turned her puzzled gaze toward the old grandfather and old madam.

“What your Second Sister-in-law said is correct, we have arranged Ruo’s marriage with the Xuanping Marquis Residence,” the old patriarch responded.
