The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!
Chapter 32: One time of infidelity, the next time of intolerance
Princess Fu's banquet was also a prestigious social event in the capital.
Changying prepared the outfit for his young lady to attend the banquet with great care.
Jiang Zhiyue lay limply on the chaise longue, watching Changying busying around like a little butterfly. Her eyes followed Changying around.
Changying was free for a while and remembered to add some tea to her.
Jiang Zhiyue smiled at her and said, "Drink it. I see you have been busy all morning."
Changying smiled, the young lady was becoming more and more considerate to her.
"Miss, if you pamper me like this, I might get spoiled in the future," Changying said with a smile.
Jiang Zhiyue leaned back and said, "Then you'll be spoiled. If you get into trouble in the future, your young lady will take care of it for you."
Changying couldn't help laughing, and the young lady became more cheerful.
"The Third Miss sent someone to say that she will go out with you on time tomorrow, so please don't worry."
Jiang Zhiyue nodded when he heard this. It seemed that his third sister had changed a bit.
The customs of the dynasty were open-minded, and engaged women were allowed to go out. They would only stay at home for one or two months before their wedding.
As for why the third sister rarely attends banquets, it is because Aunt Bai is timid and afraid of trouble, and she keeps the third sister from having any freedom.
Now that the third sister has figured it out, Aunt Bai can no longer hinder her.
It seems that she listened to what she said to her third sister that day.
knock --
There was a knock on the door. Changying put down the teacup and went out. It was Shen Mo waiting outside.
Shen Mo handed the message in his hand to Chang Ying and whispered, "News about the Lin family."
Changying immediately turned around and walked quickly to Jiang Zhiyue, handed her the envelope, and explained that it was news from the Lin family.
Jiang Zhiyue opened the envelope, read it quickly, and frowned slightly.
There was not much content in the letter, except that it said that the mistress of the Lin family seemed to have a close relationship with the Sun family, the vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
"Wake up Shen Mo." Jiang Zhiyue stood up, walked to the table and sat down.
As soon as Shen Mo came in, he bowed to Jiang Zhiyue. Jiang Zhiyue raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.
"Tell me about it." Jiang Zhiyue pointed at the letter.
Shen Mo said, "The Lin family is of ordinary means, but Madam Lin wore a set of valuable jade crowns when she went out that day. After asking around, I found out that it was specially made for Madam Sun from the Sun family, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
"Is the news reliable?" Jiang Zhiyue asked.
"reliable."
Jiang Zhiyue didn't say anything. Even without her saying anything, she knew all the situation in the court and had a general idea of it.
The Duke of Yingguo's family is of military origin, and her father commands a large number of troops, so she should be cautious when dealing with others.
She remembered that this Minister of Personnel... seemed to be a close confidant of Prime Minister Xie.
Could it be that the Lin family is related to Prime Minister Xie’s Mansion?
The more Jiang Zhiyue thought about it, the more complicated things seemed to him.
"Keep watching and report any news promptly."
Jiang Zhiyue threw the letter into the charcoal fire and burned it.
No matter what, she would not let Lin Jingqiu and the Lin family go.
"Yes, I understand."
Shen Mo retreated, and Jiang Zhiyue's face looked unhappy.
Changying sighed slightly. The young lady was filled with sorrow about what happened to Lin Jingqiu.
Jiang Zhiyue suddenly thought of something else. In his previous life, Lin Yuzhong took advantage of Lin Jingqiu's relationship to follow her to the banquet hosted by Princess Fu and got in touch with the son of Marquis Guangchang.
This time, Lin Jingqiu has been put under house arrest and Lin Yuzhong has been sent back to the Lin family.
Can Lin Yuzhong still go to Princess Fu’s banquet and establish a relationship with the Prince of Guangchang?
Jiang Zhiyue thought about it and became somewhat excited.
She was determined not to keep the Prince of Guangchang as her fiancé.
She will never forgive anyone who betrayed her!
-
He Yue'e delivered a letter to the Duke of England's mansion, and the person who received it was Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao felt annoyed looking at the Lin family. She didn't know why, but she just didn't like the Lin family.
Although Lin was only the concubine of the eldest son, Qiao inexplicably felt displeased with her.
Therefore, when He Yue'e handed over the invitation, Qiao was very impatient.
"If Madam feels that it is difficult to handle, why not report this matter back to the old lady and let her make the decision?"
Aunt Qiao, Qiao's companion, reminded her.
Qiao suddenly realized what was going on and immediately took the invitation to Chunhui Hall to ask to see the old lady.
When the old lady learned the purpose of Qiao's visit, she looked at Qiao with her calm old eyes, which made Qiao feel numb in her heart.
Mrs. Qiao was standing there until she was almost out of breath, and then she finally heard the old lady speak.
"If you can't do it, let someone else do it."
Mrs. Qiao was stunned. She hadn't figured out what the old lady meant. Then she heard her say -
"If you are too busy to pay attention, let Aunt Lian and Aunt Shi help you."
Qiao was shocked. This was to divide her power! !
She suddenly raised her head and looked at the old lady. The old lady had clear eyes and looked at her as if she could see through her intention of using someone to avoid trouble.
She didn't dare to think of anything else and quickly apologized: "It's my fault. I shouldn't bother my mother with such a small matter."
The old lady just looked at her indifferently without saying a word, and had no intention of taking back her words.
Mrs. Qiao was disheartened. If she had known this would happen, she would not have been so lazy.
The old lady was not very satisfied with Qiao, but she was just the second son's wife, so it was no big deal.
After the eldest daughter-in-law passed away, the household affairs of the Duke's Mansion were handed back to her.
The eldest son had no intention of remarrying, so the old lady had no choice but to transfer the household affairs to Qiao bit by bit.
She is the wife of the second house, so it is feasible for her to be the head of the Duke's Mansion.
It’s a pity that after teaching for so many years, Qiao still can’t change some of his short-sighted habits.
He only thinks about the benefits of being the head of the family, but avoids talking about those troublesome things.
How can a mistress of the house be like this?
The old lady's dissatisfaction with Qiao began when Qiao came to her for advice today regarding a concubine's family visit. She lost her patience.
"After Princess Fu's banquet is over, bring the little ones here to learn how to manage the household. I'm tired, you can go back."
The old lady didn't want to wait for Qiao to pay her respects, so she just stood up and left.
Fortunately, this happened in the inner room of Chunhui Hall, and no one saw Qiao's embarrassment.
But Qiao still felt extremely aggrieved. She had worked hard for the Duke's Mansion for many years, so why did she now get the impression that she handled things inappropriately?
She even asked two concubines to share her power. How can they be a match?
Qiao endured the grievance and returned to the second room. She happened to run into Mr. Jiang in her room. She couldn't help crying and fell into Mr. Jiang's arms.
Mr. Jiang was stunned. His wife was always good-tempered, so why was she crying today?
Master Jiang looked at Nanny Qiao, who shook her head in embarrassment and dared not say anything.
After all, Mrs. Qiao was no longer a child. In just a short while, she calmed down and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Jiang drove everyone out and coaxed his wife in a low voice.
Mrs. Qiao did not dare to complain to Mr. Jiang. She knew very well how important the old lady was to her two sons. She just said that she had done her job poorly and made her mother angry.
Master Jiang smiled when he heard this, "I thought it was no big deal. Mother won't really be angry with you. Don't be afraid. I'll comfort mother for you tomorrow."
Mrs. Qiao looked at her husband who was still handsome even in his middle age, and after hearing the comforting words, the grievances in her heart dissipated a lot.
