Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

The next morning, Jiang Mingli returned to Nandaying. Jiang Mingwei was just a minor official in the Ministry of Rites and could not attend court, but he had to report for duty at the Ministry of Rites every day.

Only Marquis Yong'an did not have to go to the yamen on time every day. He was waiting for the elders of the Jiang family in the front yard.

Yesterday he sent someone to deliver a letter to the clan leader and elders who are in charge of clan affairs, stating that there was an important matter to discuss.

Although he was a marquis, he did not take on the responsibility of being the head of the family.

Neither did his father or grandfather, because they were military generals who founded their families and could not be distracted by other matters. They were in the barracks and on the battlefield all year round.

However, the Yong'an Marquisate and the Jiang family have always been closely related and supportive of each other. There have been some scholars in the family who have become minor officials, but none of them have become officials in Beijing.

It's not that the Jiang family can't keep a son to be an official in Beijing, but seeing that Jiang Mingwei is only a small-time official of the sixth rank, they want to go to the local area to gain political achievements, where it is easier to get ahead.

Generally speaking, the Jiang family is not a famous family in the capital, let alone a wealthy family. The most honorable family is only the two generations of Yong'an Marquis.

The family did not have a bright future, but they lived in peace and without any trouble. Marquis Yong'an would also give the family some financial support every year, and would not stand idly by if he could help in the family's career.

The relationship between the Marquis's Mansion and the family is harmonious.

When the clan leader heard that there was an important matter, he arrived early in the morning with six clan elders. They came to the flower hall in the front yard and exchanged a few words of greeting. When they sat down to drink tea, they listened to Marquis Yong'an's account of what had happened.

When they heard that the old lady was making things difficult for Yuntang, the old men were very surprised and couldn't understand it. Not to mention that they should love the newly adopted child more, no one would dare to offend Yuntang openly just because of his identity, right?

This old woman is actually trying to bully people by seeking good luck during the New Year?

There is too much moisture accumulated in my mind from the winter, and it’s not cleared out yet even now spring has arrived?

Several old men were very dissatisfied, but due to their status they could not lecture a woman in the backyard, but they were angry and curious at the same time.

Jiang Mingan asked them to come and talk about this matter. How does he plan to deal with it?

Marquis Yong'an did not need them to respond. After explaining the whole story, he told them the purpose of why he invited them here today.

He wanted an authority in the clan to bear witness and write a letter of severance.

By severing the relationship between Yuntang and the old lady as grandparents, Yuntang will no longer be bullied by her grandmother who mistreats her and uses filial piety as an excuse to harm Yuntang.

They didn't expect him to handle it this way. Several old men stopped drinking tea and looked at him in surprise.

Finally, it was Chief Jiang who put down his teacup and spoke slowly.

"Ming'an, how can you only cut off one person's relationship? Your mother is the old lady of the Jiang family. She is your blood relative. You and Tang'er are blood relatives. Tang'er is also a member of the Jiang family."

In this world, where there is favoritism there will be non-favoritism, but no one should break off a relationship just because of a conflict. Especially in a big family, how can the struggle for interests be so clean?

No one says that you can just break off the relationship.

What's more, it's not that the Jiang family broke off the relationship with Yuntang, and the relationship between father and daughter seems to be pretty good. It would be ridiculous to tell others that they singled out their grandmother for breaking off the relationship.

Marquis Yong'an lowered his eyes and listened indifferently to the clan leader and elders talking about things they didn't understand, emphasizing that it was normal to have conflicts within blood relationships and families.

After listening for a while, he became a little impatient and said, "My elders, please understand that even the poor families have quarrels and conflicts, and the wealthy families have even more things to calculate, but..."

Marquis Yong'an slowly raised his eyes and looked at the patriarch and several elders who had serious expressions, and his expression also became extremely solemn.

"Do you know, elders, which commoner's family has ever produced a princess? Even in the royal family, which year has a princess been given the title of protector of the country?"

His question made several people's eyes suddenly become stern, and their originally serious faces became even more solemn.

"If we just treat this as a family affair and let the grandmother's conflict slide, what should we do if the old lady becomes even more aggressive and uses filial piety to bully our princess, the Protector of the Nation?"

"We can keep this a family affair behind closed doors now. If this matter gets out, will the emperor think it's our family affair?"

"Is slapping the Protector of the Nation Princess in the face just a grandmother teaching her granddaughter? Or is it a court lady ignoring the imperial power? Will others think that the Protector of the Nation Princess has no authority and can be bullied by anyone?"

"Should we treat this conflict as a minor matter and resolve it, and then hold the entire Jiang family accountable when the emperor is furious in the future?"

When Marquis Yong'an mentioned the imperial power, Patriarch Jiang and the six elders shuddered in their hearts and finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

In their minds, they still regarded it as a discord between the Jiang family's daughter and her grandmother, and had truly forgotten that their Jiang family did have a princess who was canonized as the Protector of the Nation by imperial decree.

Yuntang keeps a low profile, or it can be said that Yuntang has been busy with his own affairs in the capital and does not participate in social gatherings in various governments.

She had only been to those few places, and those were her close relationships rather than family social gatherings. There were actually not many people in the capital who knew her, were familiar with her, and had dealt with her.

Even the Jiang family had only met Yuntang once, at the family recognition banquet. At that time, Yuntang behaved well-behaved, sensible, calm and generous, and they did not expect that there would be a conflict between the grandfather and grandson.

They only knew that Princess Kangning disliked her daughter, and the relationship between mother and daughter became strained after Yuntang came back.

I didn't expect the old lady to make a scene...

If it was just the girl from the Jiang family, this wouldn't be a big deal.

But considering Yuntang's current status, this matter is very serious, so serious that the entire Jiang family cannot bear the responsibility!

"Ming'an, once this severance document is written and placed in the ancestral hall, it will be difficult to change it. If it gets out, it will be embarrassing for you and people will laugh at the Marquis's mansion."

Chief Jiang spoke earnestly, and then asked: "Can't you persuade them to make peace?"

Marquis Yong'an smiled bitterly and recounted what happened that night in detail, including how his second brother complained a few times but was finally forced to kneel down and beg his mother not to be angry.

As for what he said later, his mother not only refused to listen but also scolded him. Finally, when he threatened to break off the relationship with her in person, his mother did not wake up and just kept blaming him for being unfilial. She even fell ill that night.

The next day, he allowed his servants to report the illness to him, which was a hint for him to admit his mistake.

But has she ever calmed down and reflected on whether, as a grandmother, she should apologize to her granddaughter?

I'm afraid she has been immersed in the sadness and anger of being disobedient by her children and grandchildren, and has never thought about whether she has done anything wrong.

If he really admitted his mistake, the worsening consequences he just mentioned would not be far away.

After understanding the whole story and the old lady's current attitude, Patriarch Jiang and the six elders fell silent.

Marquis Yong'an was not in a hurry and waited for these old men to make their choice.

This was his decision, and it was impossible to change it even if there were obstacles. He had said he would break off the engagement in front of his old mother, and had also expressed his stance to Tang'er.

All he wanted was the clan's choice.
