Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2519 - 2455: From His Perspective

Jiang Yingqiong paused briefly before posing the question, "Xinian, has Little ever mentioned her father to you?"

Meng Xinian instantly grasped the implication of her words, yet she feigned ignorance and replied, "Madam, what exactly do you mean?"

"Well, Xiao Sixth is still quite young, as you know—a man in his thirties remains in his prime years. He shouldn’t stay single indefinitely, don’t you think?"

Jiang Yingqiong let out a sigh and went on, "I suspect Little might not be aware of the Jiang Family’s present circumstances. The family has so many members and endless matters to attend to. With Grandpa aging and unable to manage as much, if Xiao Sixth lacks a woman beside him to assist with family duties, he’ll struggle to cope alone."

"Madam, are you speaking of Miss Lu?"

"Oh, please, don’t keep calling me Madam—use Auntie, just like Little does. For some reason, it feels to me that Xiao Sixth isn’t truly keen on marrying Shuangshuang?"

Earlier, Jiang Yingqiong had gotten a call from Lu Shuangshuang, where the girl sounded like she was masking her unease with a forced smile. Her voice carried no real excitement, and she appeared distracted, mentioning that the old master intended to take her back to the Lu Family alongside Grandpa in the coming days.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Yingqiong felt something was off.

In the past, Lu Shuangshuang’s stays at the Jiang Family never raised any eyebrows. She maintained a dedicated room there, tailored to her preferences, making the Jiang Family feel like her true home without anyone questioning it.

Regardless of how extended her visits were, the Jiang Family viewed them as perfectly natural and unremarkable.

Whenever Lu Shuangshuang spoke, she’d casually remark —

Sis, I’m home right now.

Sis, a visitor came to the house, and I went to welcome them.

Sis, when will you return? The pomegranate tree outside your room is laden with big fruits; if you delay, I might harvest and devour them all.

Overall, it’s likely that the entire Jiang Family regarded it as Jiang Yingqiong’s own residence.

Hadn’t the old master always seen it that way too?

Lu Shuangshuang spent at least four months or more annually at the Jiang Family.

Plenty of family members probably considered it her home, with her shuttling comfortably between her husband’s side and her parents’ place.

Yet now, the old master was proposing she return to the Lu Family?

This situation indeed carried a weighty undertone.

What’s more, Jiang Yingqiong couldn’t quite believe it.

Still, after conferring with Li Hanzhong, he urged her to have faith in Xiao Sixth and allow him to deal with it on his own, advising against meddling since she might not grasp the full story.

Absolutely, something was amiss.

Why else would the old master utter such words?

Jiang Yingqiong fretted that a fallout with the Lu Family could leave Xiao Sixth in a vulnerable spot.

He had only just come back, so to speak, his influence not yet fully established.

Furthermore, she believed Lu Shuangshuang matched him perfectly.

A woman like her could adeptly navigate the complexities of a Great Aristocratic Family.

Should Xiao Sixth choose a girl from lowly roots or a simple background, grasping all those customs would exhaust her—and wouldn’t it draw mockery down the line?

Fine, even if mockery didn’t faze them, ultimately, the load would rest solely on Xiao Sixth, with no one to lighten it.

It wasn’t selfishness on her part; from Xiao Sixth’s standpoint, this was the prudent way to think.
