The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Lu Qingxiao received the military order to leave the city early in the morning, but he did not expect to meet Jiang Zhiyue when he returned to the city to report.

"Major General." Jiang Zhiyue raised his head slightly in front of the carriage.

Lu Qingxiao nodded slightly, "Do you want someone to take you back?"

Jiang Zhiyue was slightly startled, then shook his head: "No need, I'm with my grandmother, thank you for your kindness, Major General."

Seeing this, Lu Qingxiao didn't say anything else. He nodded politely and went towards the direction of the palace.

Jiang Zhiyue got on the carriage, and Old Lady Yan asked, "Is Ah Chan familiar with the young general?"

Jiang Zhiyue was surprised that Old Lady Yan had such a question, and she shook her head to deny it: "I have no friendship with the young general, except for the last banquet in the palace."

Old Madam Yan looked at her little granddaughter and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself. Jiang Zhiyue happened to lower her head and missed the expression on Old Madam Yan's face.

The timing was not right, so Old Lady Yan suppressed her doubts and waited for a chance to raise them another day.

What worries Old Lady Yan the most at the moment is Jiang Zhiyue's matter.

"Achan, although the matter of Guangchang Marquis' Mansion is over, your marriage..."

"Grandma." Jiang Zhiyue interrupted Old Lady Yan with a smile: "Granddaughter still wants to serve you for a few more years."

Hearing the implication of her granddaughter's words, the old lady nodded, "Okay, you are still young anyway."

Now that the incident at the Marquis of Guangchang's Mansion has come to light, Old Madam Yan can only feel thankful.

If she waits a few years until her Ah-chan reaches marriageable age and starts making trouble, even if the problem can be resolved at that time, it will still have some impact.

Now Achan is still young, so there is no need to rush into marriage.

As time goes by, the impact of this incident will naturally fade.

The old lady closed her eyes tiredly and said, "Lin, you can't stay."

Jiang Zhiyue was slightly surprised, then lowered his eyes.

This was the first time she heard her grandmother say such words.

My grandmother has always been kind-hearted, and she rewards and punishes people in moderation. She has never had the intention of killing anyone.

Not hearing her granddaughter speak, the old lady opened her eyes again and looked at Jiang Zhiyue: "Do you think your grandmother is cruel?"

Jiang Zhiyue shook his head, raised his hand to cover his grandmother's hand, and gently held it: "Grandma, you did this for the Duke's Mansion, and for me."

The old lady looked at her granddaughter with satisfaction, "Achan, your grandmother taught you, remember it well. As long as the matter does not endanger your life and property, there is always room for maneuver, you can leave a way out."

"If someone is ruthless and uses his body to plot, and every move draws blood, such a person must not be allowed to stay."

Old Lady Yan said to Jiang Zhiyue in a slightly guilty tone, "It's also Grandmother's fault. I wanted to keep her to temper your temper, but now it seems that this person must not be kept."

Jiang Zhiyue was stunned, "Grandma..."

When Old Lady Yan thought of what Lin Jingqiu had done in the past few years, her expression darkened, and she no longer had the kindness she once had.

"She is the daughter of an official family after all, but she was willing to follow your father as a concubine without any status. It was not until she became pregnant that your father took her in."

"It's not at all what a well-educated person would do to behave like this."

When Old Lady Yan talked about the time when Lin Jingqiu entered the mansion, Jiang Zhiyue realized that her grandmother had always disliked Lin Jingqiu and had arranged people to keep an eye on her.

"It was because my grandmother was too conceited. She only wanted to use her to discipline you, but she didn't think that you were too young to know how treacherous people are. She almost harmed you."

Jiang Zhiyue was so shocked that he couldn't hear any other sound for a while.

But the guilt in her grandmother's words made her feel sad.

She threw herself into her grandmother's arms, hugged her grandmother, and said in a muffled voice: "Grandma is doing this for Zhiyue's own good. Zhiyue is too stupid to understand your painstaking efforts."

Old Lady Yan could hear her granddaughter crying and was also very moved: "It's not your fault, grandma taught your sister the same way before..."

"But you forgot that you are different from your sister. You no longer have your mother to protect you."

"It was your grandmother's negligence that almost killed you."

Jiang Zhiyue couldn't say anything else and just hugged her grandmother tightly.

It is an indisputable fact that her grandmother loves her very much, and she would never think that her grandmother is wrong because of this.

As my grandmother said, people are different.

Her grandmother had already made careful plans for her, but she was just not up to her standards.

Old Lady Yan touched her granddaughter's hair lovingly, her eyes full of heartache: "After this incident, grandma knows that you have grown up, and grandma is relieved."

The old lady didn't say it explicitly, but Jiang Zhiyue understood what she meant.

Since my grandmother has always been worried about Lin Jingqiu, she must have guessed Lin Jingqiu's intentions when the fire broke out in Qiu Shui Residence.

I'm afraid my grandmother also knows about Lin Jingqiu's contact with the court doctor.

But only after she and her third sister took action did their grandmother stop talking about it.

It was not until the old lady of Guangchang Marquis came to provoke trouble that the matter had to be resolved.

"Although the old vicious woman was punished today, it is not appropriate to make the matter public."

The old lady looked at Jiang Zhiyue and said, "After all, it involves you. Grandmother doesn't want you to be in the spotlight again, so as for Lin Yuzhong, we can only let her go for now."

Jiang Zhiyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, grandma. Lin Yuzhong won't get away."

"The Guangchang Marquisate will not let her go and will definitely drag her down with it. She will get her own retribution."

Marquis Guangchang was not smart. He brought his wife and children to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, but was detained in the Jingzhao government office.

Old Madam Duan is vicious and acts without rules. Now she has been reprimanded by the Empress Dowager and her imperial edict has been taken away from her.

These incidents further exposed the disgrace of the Guangchang Marquisate, which had become a laughing stock in the capital.

Duan Hongyu's marriage is even more difficult. If he doesn't hold on to Lin Yuzhong, who has a reputation for having an affair, how could a noble lady of equal status be interested in him?

After all, Marquis Guangchang had lived in the capital for many years. How could he bear to let his legitimate son marry the daughter of an official from another place?

Jiang Zhiyue reminded Old Lady Yan, and Old Lady Yan began to admire her little granddaughter more and more: "Achan is seeing the situation more and more clearly. Now that you have a clear idea, Grandma will be more relieved."

Jiang Zhiyue nodded, still frowning slightly as he thought about the matter involving the Lin Mansion and the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

Seeing her like this, Old Lady Yan asked in confusion, "Is there anything else that Grandma missed?"

Jiang Zhiyue shook his head.

After changing his mind, he asked Old Lady Yan about the incident when Lin Jingqiu entered her mansion.

Since my grandmother was dissatisfied with Lin Jingqiu back then, why did she let Lin Jingqiu enter the mansion?

Old Lady Yan frowned, "I have also sent people to investigate this matter. She and your father met by accident."

The accident mentioned by Old Lady Yan made Jiang Zhiyue even more confused.

The version my grandmother heard was that her father and his colleagues had been drinking and had gone astray, and when they returned to the inn, they accidentally broke into Lin Jingqiu's house and saw her bathing inside.

Lin Jingqiu was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die. Her father sobered up by then.

I heard the other party crying and saying that she, an innocent woman, had her body seen naked by others and the only option was to die.

He also felt that he had a sudden wit at that time and revealed his identity so that he could take her as a concubine.

Jiang Zhiyue was particularly puzzled when she heard this: "Then why did she become my father's concubine?"

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Yan sneered, "This is where her brilliance lies."
