Chapter 713 The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and becomes happier the more she looks at him

After eating fruits and vegetables at the dinner table, the villagers would clean up their bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs.

Several women washed and dried the dishes and chopsticks together, and then each family came to claim them. The tables and chairs were taken back home by themselves.

Everyone rushed to do these jobs, and the Qiao family was not allowed to get involved. They were just told to go home and talk.

Qiao Dajiang came back after being missing for five years, and the Qiao family members really had a lot to say, so they returned to the main hall, cut a few plates of fruits, and ate while chatting.

Because I have to go to Yue's house later, time does not permit.

Qiao Dajiang simply recounted his experience of escaping from a shipwreck, being stranded on an island and being rescued, and then living on the island for five years after losing his memory.

Everyone sighed after hearing this, and both Old Lady Qiao and Zheng Hui Niang felt very distressed.

Finally, Qiao Dajiang looked at the prince who was eating fruits and refused to leave. Although he was reluctant, he still told Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan about their engagement.

When Mo Beihan heard that he was finally talking about his own affairs, he quickly put down the piece of watermelon in his hand, wiped his hands, and sat up straight.

Zheng Hui Niang always listened to her mother-in-law and husband, and later she listened to her capable daughter.

Besides, it is said that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she will be.

Over the past few months, she, her mother, and her siblings have eliminated all the unmarried young men of marriageable age from aristocratic families in the capital, but after selecting and choosing, they still haven't found anyone they are particularly satisfied with.

She had never expected that the Prince of Dingbei would actually want to marry her daughter. She thought that her daughter was beautiful, smart and capable. Although the prince did not have a good reputation in the capital, from what she knew, he was actually a good boy who was grateful, humble and polite. He was indeed better than those young masters of aristocratic families in the capital.

Therefore, she just smiled as she looked at her daughter and Master Mo. The more she looked, the more she felt that the two were a good match, so naturally she did not raise any objections.

Old Mrs. Qiao also looked at her proud granddaughter, and then at the handsome and elegant Mo Shizi, smiled and said:

"Master Mo has a long history with our family, so we can trust his character. Ran Ran is a woman of her own ideas, and since she is willing, I, as her grandmother, will not stop her. However, if Ran Ran wants to marry into the Dingbei Palace, she will be considered marrying into a wealthy family. Although our Qiao family is a peasant family, we still have to go through the formalities of the three matchmakers and six betrothals, so that no one will look down on Ran Ran."

Mo Beihan quickly bowed to the old lady and said humbly:

"Thank you for your help, old lady! Please rest assured, I wrote a letter to my grandfather as soon as I landed, and he will rush back to the capital to take charge of the situation. Perhaps in a few days, my grandfather will be able to come back and propose marriage on my behalf as an elder. I am so happy with Ranran that I will naturally give her the most grand wedding. These etiquettes will be strictly followed and will never give people a chance to talk about me."

Old Mrs. Qiao nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I believe what you say. Then we will wait for your family to come and propose marriage."

Mo Beihan bowed gratefully to the old lady, Qiao Dajiang and Zheng Huiniang.

She was filled with joy after gaining recognition from the Qiao family and being engaged to the little girl.

At this moment, he wished he could grow a pair of wings so that he could bring his grandfather back to Beijing, so that he could stay with the little girl as her fiancé earlier.

But when he said those words just now, he did not notice that the housekeeper Zhou who was sitting below him twitched unnaturally, glanced at him secretly, and then his eyes became vague and he did not dare to look him in the eye.

Hearing that his own prince would finally have the chance to marry Miss Qiao, Butler Zhou's heart almost jumped out of his chest with excitement.

He really wanted to jump up and tell everyone that the old prince had actually returned to the capital two days ago and was already preparing gifts for proposing marriage. He just asked him not to tell the prince and wanted to give him a big surprise.

However, something happened during this period which caused Butler Zhou to be almost beaten to death by his father, Butler Zhou.

It turned out that when the old prince was excitedly opening the storeroom in his mansion to select a gift for the marriage proposal, he was nearly shocked and fainted.

I saw that the warehouse, which was once well-stocked, was now empty.

Apart from some boxes, cabinets and wooden shelves, there were only a few pieces of jewelry and jade.

The old prince thought his house had been robbed, so he covered his chest with his hands and gasped for a few breaths, almost fainting.

Fortunately, the old butler Zhou who was following nearby immediately took out an exquisite porcelain bottle, poured out a precious heart-saving pill from it and fed it to the old prince. He patted his back for a long time before the old prince recovered his breath.

At that time, Butler Zhou was in the accounting office figuring out how to collect more money for the prince to propose marriage. When he was brought in front of the old prince by his father, he remembered that the money and property in the mansion had long been used by his own prince to pay for medical treatment and medicine to Miss Qiao.

But he didn't even think of this, and didn't tell the old prince and his father about it in advance.

After he had gritted his teeth and told the old prince everything, the old prince did not blame him.

But his father was so angry that he ran to the yard, broke a bamboo whip and chased him to beat him, causing him to run around the house and all the servants to laugh at him.

The old prince asked him not to tell the prince that they had returned to the capital, saying that he wanted to give the prince a "surprise".

He originally wanted to inform the prince secretly, but his father had seen through his thoughts long ago. He grabbed his ears and hit him for a while, forcing him to "betray" the prince and conceal the news.

Just thinking about what the scene would be like when he returned to the mansion, Butler Zhou felt a toothache, and even the sweet fruits in his hands lost their fragrance.
