The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Jiang Shiying called to the housekeeper: "Hurry up and be angry with me. Didn't you see that I was so angry with Marquis Qingyang?"

Butler Jiang thought to himself, is the master angry with Marquis Qingyang? I am obviously angry with you, the county leader. But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only step forward silently and help Jiang Pengyuan sit down.

Jiang Pengyuan took a sip of tea and finally calmed down his emotions.

He began to doubt his judgment in the past few days. This daughter might not really want the Jiang family to be well at all.

She persuaded herself to hire a good concubine just to take revenge on her wife and Jing'er.

Every word she said in front of Qingyang Hou gradually pushed the relationship between her family and Qingyang Hou's mansion into opposites.

If he were standing in the position of Marquis Qingyang, he would probably start preparing to suppress Jiang Mansion immediately after returning.

What would she do if he really sent her to the palace?

Unfortunately, he had reported Jiang Shiying's name to the Ministry of Rites a few days ago, and the Ministry of Rites will submit the draft list to the palace tomorrow. It's too late to withdraw now.

If this daughter really had any extra thoughts, then he would have to let her be ill for a while.

Thinking like this, Jiang Pengyuan's eyes became darker and darker: "What good will it do to you to break up with the Hou Mansion?"

Jiang Shiying glanced at him and knew what he was thinking. She said sincerely: "It's not good for me, but it's good for our family."

Jiang Pengyuan didn't believe her, he just thought she was quibbling: "Oh? Tell me."

Jiang Shiying mentioned something else: "Last month, the eldest son of Qingyang Houfu and the youngest son of Dali Temple Qing's family had a fight at Chunfei Tower. Does dad know about this?"

Jiang Pengyuan nodded: "The young man is just angry, and he didn't make much noise."

He didn't take the petty quarrel between the juniors very seriously, and the two families had already shaken hands and made peace on the matter.

Jiang Shiying asked: "Does father know what the eldest son of Qingyanghou said in Chunfei Tower at that time?"

"What did he say?" Jiang Pengyuan didn't take it seriously.

"He said that his cousin is Concubine Hui in the palace and is deeply loved by His Majesty. Who is the minister of Dali Temple? His son dares to compete with Concubine Hui's cousin."

Jiang Pengyuan's eyes changed instantly: "Seriously?"

"Father, you can ask someone to inquire." Jiang Shiying said frankly.

Then, she added: "Last month, the second son of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion had a Jinke test at the Juxian Tea House. Does father know?"

Jiang Pengyuan also knew about this: "Didn't you already ask someone to apologize?"

The boy was not seriously injured, and he did not want to face a behemoth like the Qingyang Marquis Mansion, so he had already expressed his forgiveness.

"Then father, does he know what the second young master of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion said at that time, and why he got into a fight with that person?"

Hearing the familiar question, Jiang Pengyuan had an ominous premonition: "What did he say?"

"He said, after so many years of studying hard, it doesn't matter how outstanding his literary talent is. Even if he passes the Jinshi examination, he will still be a minor official of seventh or eighth rank. And behind him, he has a cousin named Concubine Hui. . If that Juzi flatters him well, he will reward him with an official position." Jiang Shiying said unhurriedly: "Literati always pay attention to character, how could that Juzi be willing to be insulted by him like this? But he refuted it. He said a few words and got a good beating."

This is different from the version Jiang Pengyuan heard.

Jiang Pengyuan only heard that the two were discussing an article and had some disagreements and had some quarrels.

His nephew-in-law has always been a bit impatient, so he resorted to beating people. He himself regretted it afterwards and sincerely apologized and asked for forgiveness.

But if it is true as Jiang Shiying said, then this matter is not that simple.

Jiang Shiying pointed out what he cared about in his heart: "We in the Jiang family are very cautious outside and don't dare to cause trouble for the eldest sister in the palace, for fear of being caught and affecting the eldest sister's future. The Qingyang Marquis Mansion is good, my eldest sister's good reputation has been ruined by them."

Jiang Pengyuan saw that she seemed to be gritting her teeth when she spoke, and asked, "Don't you have a harmonious relationship with your mother and your eldest sister?"

Jiang Shiying looked at him with a puzzled look on her face: "When did my eldest sister and I not get along well? When my eldest sister was in the house, she always cared for me the most. When I first learned to draw red, my eldest sister held my hand. , I taught you step by step."

"What's your attitude towards your mother these days?" Jiang Pengyuan was confused.

Jiang Shiying sighed and said: "I thought that my mother treated me very well, just like my eldest sister. After my eldest sister entered the palace, she discovered that her mother gradually seemed to be a different person, and she was a little different from before. It’s the same. Only then did I realize that only my eldest sister truly treats me.”

What she said seemed reasonable. Jiang Pengyuan knew in his heart that his eldest daughter was infinitely better at getting married.

When the eldest daughter was in the house, the wife could still pretend to be a decent and loving mother with her guidance. After the eldest daughter entered the palace, the wife gradually revealed her whereabouts, and it was inevitable that Jiang Shiying would notice something was wrong.

"I will send someone to check what you just said." Jiang Pengyuan looked at her deeply.

Jiang Shiying was not afraid that he would check, she was just afraid that he would not check. Anyway, she had already made arrangements.

"I'm afraid it's more than that twice." She continued to add fuel to the fire: "Before we noticed, we don't know how many things they did in the name of big sister."

This is what Jiang Pengyuan is worried about, but he still said: "If it is just because of this matter, there is no need to make such an ugly quarrel with the Qingyang Marquis Mansion. Just talk about it carefully and let them be careful in their words and deeds."

"Tell me carefully, does father really think they will listen?" Jiang Shiying looked at him, as if she thought he was too naive.

She said: "Hasn't father understood the attitude of the Marquis towards our family? They have always been arrogant. They don't treat their in-laws more like they treat servants. Even though my father told them to listen, they didn't do anything. I’ll do it.”

These words directly hit Jiang Pengyuan's sensitive self-esteem. It was not only the Hou Mansion that was bossy, but also Mrs. Jiang in her early years.

Jiang Shiying knew very well what he was thinking, and said directly: "As far as I'm concerned, it's okay not to have this kind of in-laws. If we clear the relationship early, we can avoid being held back by them."

"It seems that our family is too unkind." Jiang Pengyuan still hesitated.

All the high-ranking families in the capital knew that he got up because of the support of the Yue family. If he and the Yue family became incompatible with each other after he became successful, it would seem that he was a little ungrateful.

He is capable of being ungrateful, but he always wants to cover himself up.

Jiang Shiying gave him this fig leaf and said, "Why are we so ungrateful? It's obvious that the Marquis Mansion is too lenient and wants to interfere in the affairs of our children."

The father and daughter looked at each other and decided tacitly, "Very good, this is the fundamental reason for the breakup between the two houses."

Haven't you seen that Jiang Jing is the only one in the Jiang family over the years? It's all because of the Hou Mansion. The Jiang family couldn't bear it anymore, so they hired a good concubine to give them more heirs.

Having said all that needed to be said, Jiang Shiying stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'm afraid Aunt Lin is still waiting for her father. Father, please come back soon. She encountered these on the first day she entered the mansion. Troublesome, if my father is still not with me, I will inevitably be muttered by the servants and say things that Aunt Lin will not like my father."

Jiang Pengyuan originally wanted to go back to the study to rest, but when she heard what she said, he thought it made sense, so he went to Aunt Lin's Yixia Courtyard again.

Jiang Shiying took Qiu Yu and slowly walked towards Fufengyuan.

Like every servant who appeared in the main hall today, Qiu Yu saw and heard too much today. For a moment, she was unable to react.

But the first thing she cared about was still: "County Master, don't you really think that the eldest lady treats you well?"

She thought the county lord had woken up before. Now that she saw it, could it be that the county lord was not completely awake, but just saw the madam's true face?

Jiang Shiying chuckled: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

"Then you just said that?"

"It's just to fool Jiang Pengyuan." Jiang Shiying chuckled.

The reason why she said that was just to make Jiang Pengyuan believe that she still had feelings for the Jiang family and would not take revenge on the Jiang family at all costs. Everything she did today was really for the good of the Jiang family.

In this way, Jiang Pengyuan will not become a hindrance to her entering the palace, but will instead provide her with help. Then, she watched helplessly as she destroyed the Jiang family bit by bit.
