Ma originally planned to help He Shuxiang look after people, but with her daughter's request, she became more and more interested.

Because of the power of the marquis and the general, Ma was very popular among the ladies in the capital.

She often attended various banquets. Before, when her daughter was not making noises about marrying Zhou Jin, Mrs. Ma had also thought about finding her a good husband among the nobles.

Therefore, Ma has a general understanding of whether there are marriageable men among the many wealthy families in Beijing and the situation of these young masters.

Now that he was replaced by He Shu, Ma lowered his standards slightly and quickly made a list in his mind——

The third son of Duke Qing's family, the second young master of Princess Pingkang's family, the sixth son of Wangge Lao, the second son of Weiyuan Hou's family...

Regardless of age, family status, or personality and appearance, he is a perfect match for He Shu.

Ma made a list and wanted to find a time to discuss it with the eldest lady and the dowager lady.

Before she could speak first, the eldest lady came looking for her.

After listening to the eldest lady's oblique words, the smile in Ma's eyes faded a lot.

The next day, He Tiantian wandered back to her parents' house to have some food. Ma didn't bother nagging her daughter and told the incident first.

"...The fourth girl is very angry and doesn't like the family I chose for her!"

Ma’s family really feels like “feeding the dog out of kindness”.

When she spoke, her tone was a little harsh.

He Tiantian was not surprised, and said calmly: "When people go to high places, water flows to low places. This is human nature!"

"Besides, He Shu has been comparing herself to me since she was a child. I married a county prince, so she naturally doesn't want to marry the second son of a duke, a concubine!"

"You all say she is sensible, but you blame me for not arguing with her -"

He Tiantian never forgets her character.

When chatting with my mother-in-law, I did not forget to clean up my past domineering and willful ways.

Ma was choked and said angrily, "I said she was sensible, but I just felt sorry for her without her father."

She is out of respect for her face, and she is neither stupid nor stupid. What woman would not feel sorry for her own daughter, but instead help a cheap niece?

It’s just that my daughter is a firecracker and doesn’t understand her painstaking efforts. She only wants to vent her anger on He Shu!

However, when it was mentioned that He Shu lost her father, Ma thought about the matter of proposing a marriage.

She snorted coldly, "So what if you are high-spirited? There are no fathers or brothers, only a widowed mother. Even the heirs of good families would not choose her!"

"It is true that the fourth girl does not have a father or brother, but she has a good second uncle. Now, she has another cousin who is a princess——"

He Tiantian puffed up her chest and said proudly, "With us, the four girls want to marry into a high family, so it's not just wishful thinking."

Ma Shixu thought of something, and her face became a little ugly: "They may not want to rely on us, maybe, in the minds of their mother and daughter, your father and I are the ones who occupy the magpie's nest!"

After He Jing died, He Jing could inherit the title.

And Mrs. Ma also replaced the eldest lady and became Mrs. Hou.

Although the eldest lady and He Shu did not say it explicitly, sometimes it would be revealed that the second chamberlain had stolen the title of the eldest chamber and took advantage of the eldest chamber!

Humph, they didn't even think about it. He Jing held military power and was used to taking orders to fight.

I don’t know how many military exploits I have accomplished in the past twenty years or so.

With his own true ability, he has been able to become a marquis long ago, and maybe he can go one step further.

It's just that his family has the title of Marquis of Nanning, so the emperor didn't give him any extra reward.

Steal? Take advantage?

Madam Ma actually felt that it was the Nanning Marquis Mansion that was dragging down her master!

"You can't say that. My father is indeed powerful and he can obtain a title by virtue of his own abilities. But the Nanning Marquis Mansion is the founding meritorious service of the country. The family has an iron book of alchemy and iron coupons given by the emperor and grandpa——"

He Tiantian analyzed objectively.

"...Whose side are you on, kid?"

Mr. Ma was speechless by his daughter, and became a little angry.

Immediately afterwards, Ma suddenly realized: Hey, that's not right. When did her family become so sensible?!

Ma looked at He Tiantian suspiciously.

She didn't suspect that her daughter had changed the core, but she was worried: Did something happen to her daughter, and why did she suddenly become "sensible"?

As a good mother who cares about her children and a well-informed matron, Ma of course understands.

Children are not born sensible, but they have to suffer and be taught a lesson, and then—

"Auntie, of course I'm on your side!"

He Tiantian was stared at by Ma, without any trace of panic or guilt.

She rolled her eyes indecently and said in a casual tone: "Do you think I have really grown to like He Shu?"

"If possible, I hope more than anyone else that she will marry into a poor family. In this way, she can only envy me and look up to me throughout her life!"

"But, your lord, he—"

Speaking of this, He Tiantian deliberately showed a sad expression.

When Ma saw He Tiantian's stupid look of "willing to give everything for Zhou Jin", he was really pitiful and hateful!

She hates the fact that iron cannot become steel!

She was a bright and flamboyant daughter, but because of a man, she became compromised.

This child, alas!

Ma was so angry that he wanted to slap his daughter twice, but he couldn't bear it.

In the end, there was only so much heartache.

"Auntie, if He Shu wants to marry high, let her go. If she lives well, the prince will be able to live a down-to-earth life with me!"

He Tiantian's tone was low, but soon, she puffed up her cheeks and said bitterly: "I have done my best, if they do anything to compromise in the future, the world won't call me vicious anymore, right?"

Hearing He Tiantian's angry words, Ma's heart throbbed again.

Shan'er's marriage was not very honorable, and she was rejected by her husband on their wedding night, and everyone outside was laughing at her.

Seeing that she has become "sensible" now, she must have heard the rumors outside and suffered a lot of grievances.

"Okay! Grandma knows!"

No heavy hammer is needed to play the drum. Ma is smart and after hearing this, he already understood what his daughter meant.

Zhou Jin liked He Shu, but had to marry He Tan.

If He Tan and her parents can help He Shu marry a happy man, all the past debts can be wiped off.

In the future, if He Shu breaks ties with Zhou Jinou again, it will be because she is shameless and ungrateful.

Their bad reputation cannot always be left to their family, Mener, alone.

As for how to help He Shu, Ma also has a way.

He Shu has no father or brother, this is a fact that cannot be changed.

But the Ma family could let the dignitaries in the capital know that their Nanning Marquis Mansion valued He Shu, the fourth girl, very much.

With the "favor" of He Jing and his wife, He Shu has the value of marriage.

If Mrs. Ma prepares more dowry for her, she should be able to fulfill the wishes of He Shu and her daughter.

"I knew my mother-in-law loved me the most!"

He Tiantian buried herself in Ma's arms, rubbed her little face, and spoke coquettishly.

Ma wanted to poke her daughter's forehead with her finger, but was reluctant and instead gently stroked her hair.

This is her biological daughter. If she doesn't feel sorry for her, who will?

"By the way, even if I find a good home for her, she can't get past me!"

"Huh, I'm going to step on one in my life!"

Ma:……

I knew this girl wouldn't really become that sensible. She is really hard-wired!

However, this is her daughter, willful and cute.

Mother and daughter discussed it for a while, and Ma made a decision in her mind.

When he took He Shu out to socialize again, he began to send a signal to everyone——

I like He Shu as my niece so much. Our Lord Marquis also treats her as his own daughter!

As for the ladies, they were neither stupid nor blind, so they naturally accepted Ma's meaning.

"The fourth girl of the He family?"

The fourth prince was sitting in the queen's palace, listening to his adoptive mother telling him the list of concubines.
