The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and she can't escape from offending the emperor's u

Chapter 66 The matchmaker comes to visit
The third young master of the Mu family is getting engaged. Although many families look down on Mu Jingchao, they still want the background of the Mu family.

Mu Jingchao actually looks very good. After all, he has the good foundation of the Mu family, so it is impossible for him to be ugly.

But Mu Jingchao was an uneducated man. He refused to take the imperial examinations or join the army, but chose to go into business.

Madam Mu has also made up her mind. She doesn't have to look for someone from a high-ranking official family. She doesn't care about whether the two are well-matched, as long as the two have a good relationship.

There were many matchmakers who came to the house, bringing with them many lists of girls of marriageable age.

The matchmaker's stories were full of exaggerated praises, making the person look like a fairy, and Mrs. Mu was overjoyed to hear them.

"The second young lady of the Duke's Mansion is gentle and virtuous. She has been helping her mother manage the household chores since long ago. Her housekeeping skills are first-rate!"

"...Ms. Zheng is lively and cheerful, and is efficient. There will definitely not be any mother-in-law or daughter-in-law relationship if she marries me..."

The matchmaker was thirsty and took a sip of the herbal tea on the table.

Then he started talking about the ladies from other families.

With so many candidates, it is difficult to choose. Madam Mu asks the nanny to send the person back first, and of course a red seal is indispensable.

Madam Mu rubbed her forehead with a headache. She had actually seen many of the people on the list, but the third child was not that outstanding. His reputation had already spread. Which girl would be willing to marry him? Would he have any shortcomings?
Mu Qingqing and her second sister-in-law walked in. Mu Qingqing saw her mother's actions, walked behind Mrs. Mu, and helped her rub her temples.

The second sister-in-law picked up the list on the table and looked through it for a while.

"Mom, how about I ask someone to find out?"

Madam Mu nodded and said, "Let's ask around. We must not marry a troublemaker!"

Mu Qingqing knew that this was for her third brother to see. Thinking of her third sister-in-law in the previous life, she frowned.

The girl was none other than the second daughter of the Duke's Mansion. The matchmaker praised her to the skies, saying she was a great talent and had the ability to be a good housekeeper.

Madam Mu thought that since they were from the Queen's maternal family, there should be no problem educating the child.

So I agreed, but what happened? The girl's good reputation was completely exaggerated.

The second daughter of the Duke's Mansion is gentle and virtuous, but in fact she suppresses her sisters at home, is arrogant and domineering, and even abuses small animals.

There was really no way for such a good family to fall in love with Mu Jingchao. The Duke's Mansion was broke. His sons were addicted to gambling, and his grandsons followed others to do business, and they had spent all their money. Even the daily expenses of the Duke's Mansion had to be paid from the dowries of his wives.

As for why the Duke's Mansion was in such a miserable state, the reason was that the Queen Mother was not originally going to enter the palace. It was her sister who entered the palace. Moreover, the Queen Mother had a childhood sweetheart, and the two had been engaged since childhood, but the man's family fell into poverty.

The Duke's Mansion destroyed the marriage certificate and sent the Queen into the palace. The man later passed the imperial examination, became an official, and was assigned to other places.

This is such a big melon! No wonder there is always a sense of disharmony between the Empress and the Emperor. I'm afraid their feelings are not deep.

"Second sister-in-law, go find Akatsuki. I heard that Akatsuki's investigation methods are very strong. Maybe they can give you more information."

Although the second sister-in-law is just a housewife, she has also heard of the Akatsuki organization. "Okay, then I'll ask someone to go over and ask!"

Mrs. Mu did not object, she also wanted to know more about those children.

Mu Qingqing came back from her mother's place and asked someone to tell Zhou Xiaoge, asking them to investigate thoroughly, especially the matter of the Duke's Mansion.

Since Mu Qingqing had spoken, they naturally did not dare to neglect it and immediately sent someone to start investigating.

When Mrs. Mu received the survey results, she was dumbfounded. Almost all girls had shortcomings of one kind or another.

The most obvious ones are the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion and Miss Zheng. The second young lady appears gentle and virtuous, but in fact she is no different from a demon, even more outrageous than what Mu Qingqing knows. She abuses animals, beats and scolds maids. It is rumored that the maids are replaced very frequently, and some of them go missing innocently. But according to rumors, the flowers in the back garden of the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion are particularly beautiful.

This made Mrs. Mu have some bad guesses in her mind. She wondered if the body was buried in the yard.

Madam Mu shuddered violently, and even the portrait seemed strange to her.

Miss Zheng even fell in love with a poor scholar, but the Zheng family disagreed, so the two eloped secretly. She was found a month ago, already pregnant. She was forced to have an abortion by people from the Zheng family, and ended up hurting her body and unable to get pregnant again.

……

Madam Mu finished reading the papers with a sullen look on her face, and slapped the table, "Assholes, these people are going too far, do they think the Mu Mansion is just a decoration?"

No one expected that a small matchmaker would have such connections and means to collect so many problematic girls.

Mu Qingqing and her second sister-in-law looked at each other. They didn't expect that there were so many problems.

"Mother, I'll find someone to deal with the matchmaker issue, please don't be angry!"

Mu Qingqing quickly spoke to comfort her.

Madam Mu nodded. "Okay, Qingqing, I want her to be unable to stay in the capital. If they dare to plot against my son, they will be punished."

Mrs. Mu was also a person with a hot temper when she was young, otherwise she would not have been able to control General Mu so well.

The matchmaker's issue was quickly resolved, and all the matchmakers who came to propose marriages afterwards brought out the most suitable sources, determined not to damage their reputation.

It wasn't that the Mu family was picky, they were just being more cautious. When they were undecided, a guest came to the Mu family.

Mrs. Mu was very surprised when she received the invitation, after all, the two families had no intersection.

After everyone arrived, the lady took Madam Mu's hand and said embarrassedly, "Madam Mu, I'm really sorry. I heard that the third young master of your house is looking for a date, so I came here specially."

Madam Mu glanced at her unconsciously, "Madam Li, I remember there are no girls of the right age in your house?"

"I am not here to propose marriage to my own daughter, but to a relative from my mother's side."

The two of them started talking little by little. The family that Madam Li was matchmaking for was also an official family, a fifth-rank official, not too big.

The family's surname is Gao, and the girl is eighteen years old this year. She should have been married off a year or two ago, but her mother passed away and she observed mourning for three years, so the marriage was delayed.

It is not easy to find a husband when she is older, and the girl’s father only has this one daughter. He doesn’t want her to be wasted by her husband’s family, so he wants to find a good family to propose marriage to her.

From General Mu to the two young masters, no one in the Mu family has taken concubines. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in good terms with each other, and the sister-in-law is also straightforward. I have never heard of her bullying her sister-in-law, so I wanted to ask someone to ask the Mu family's opinion.

Of course, this was also because they heard that the Mu family did not want to marry into a rich family and rejected the Duke's Mansion, so they dared to come.

Madam Li said enviously, "If my two daughters hadn't married, they would definitely meet Mr. Mu San. What a pity."

When Madam Mu heard about the girl's situation, she felt favorable towards her, but she did not dare to agree to it casually, and still asked the Akatsuki organization to investigate.

Madam Mu said, "Madam Li, I will discuss this matter with my master first, and I will definitely give you news later."

Madam Li nodded. "Of course, but don't delay it too long."

Mrs. Mu personally escorted the people out of the Mu Mansion, and then asked someone to investigate Miss Gao.
