Three days later, Yang Shuqing visited the main courtyard before returning home.
"Greetings to mother-in-law."
Yang Shuqing gritted her teeth, and saluted respectfully, calling a woman of her own age to be her mother-in-law. Yang Shuqing had also prepared herself for a long time before saluting.
With a smile on her face, Jiang Ningbao asked Butler Zhao to hand over the prepared return ceremony to Yang Shuqing, and glanced at Yang Shuqing, who had exquisite makeup, radiant face, and charming and sweet smile, and smiled sullenly.
"Mr. Yang, what about Jing Yi, won't he accompany you back home today?"
This Yang Shuqing really knows how to pretend, except for the wedding night in the bridal chamber, she hasn't called for water in these two nights, and she still pretends to be a loving couple in front of her, Jiang Ning Baole.
Don't mind poking her lung tubes.
Yang Shuqing smiled, brushed the hair around her ear, and said with a touch of sweetness in her tone: "Mother-in-law, you also know that Jing Yi is the commander of the Wucheng army and horses, and he just has something urgent to deal with today, so he can't accompany me back home. door, but he prepared another return gift for me."
But in his heart he was so angry that this Jiang Ningbao really couldn't open any pot, and wanted to see her laughing and dreaming.
Fortunately, Xie Jingyi's situation in Jinhuayuan was in the hands of Xie Jingyi, otherwise, she would have no face if it got out, but Jiang Ningbao had already known about her and Xie Jingyi's situation.
"So that's how it is." Jiang Ningbao smiled meaningfully, this Yang Shuqing is really a good face.
Yang Shuqing always felt that Jiang Ningbao's smile was a bit strange, but at this time Yang Shuqing didn't want to stay in the main courtyard any longer, so he hurriedly left with a home gift.
This time the door ceremony, Yang Shuqing looked at the gift list and found it to be quite satisfactory, unable to make a mistake, and felt depressed for a while.
This Jiang Ningbao is too difficult to deal with, and she does everything without leaking.
When Yang Shuqing left, Jiang Ningbao took a sip of tea and began to deal with the affairs of the house, as well as the account books sent by shopkeeper Yao, while Chunle fanned her hand.
At this time, Chunxi brings sour plum soup to understand summer heat.
The sour plum soup is sweet and sour, warm and hot, and tastes very good. Jiang Ningbao drank a bowl and said, "Chunxi, this sour plum soup tastes very good. Remember to send some to Rongxitang."
Chunxi responded, and then took out a letter and sent it to Jiang Ningbao: "Madam, Housekeeper Zhao said that a child sent a letter to you for roll call."
Jiang Ningbao raised his eyebrows, took a look at the envelope, and found that there was no signature on the envelope, frowning, opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper to have a look.
Jiang Ningbao sneered, his eyes were cold.
"Grandmother really doesn't give up."
"Ma'am, is there something wrong with the Jiang family?" Chunxi asked in surprise.
"That's right, my good grandmother actually wants to plot against Fifth Sister to serve me as a husband." Jiang Ningbao sneered expressionlessly, without any fluctuations in her tone.
"what?"
Chunxi and Chunle turned pale with shock, and then became very angry.
"The old lady is too much."
Jiang Ningbao slightly raised the corners of her lips, but unfortunately her grandmother's wishful thinking was about to come to nothing. Fifth sister Jiang Mingyao overheard her grandmother and Hong Xing's words by accident. After secretly investigating, she wrote a letter and told her all about it.
Jiang Mingyao is no longer the daughter of an official family, and her status has plummeted. If she wants to marry into a noble family, she can only become a concubine. Jiang Mingyao said in her letter that she does not want to be a concubine.
This time I wrote to tell her that she just wanted to ask her for help, even if she was married to a poor family, she would be willing.
Jiang Ningbao decided to discuss with Duke Dingguo at night.
Near noon, the servants came to report that lunch was ready, Jiang Ningbao rubbed his brows, put down the account book in his hand, and had lunch with the old lady.
…
Yang Shuqing returned to Anyuanhou's mansion with a generous return gift, and after dealing with the concubine sisters in the mansion, he and Anyuanhou's wife went to the room alone to talk.
"Qing'er, is Jing Yi treating you well?" Madam An Yuanhou asked with concern after studying her daughter's expression.
Yang Shuqing showed a bright smile, and said shyly, "He treats me very well."
But my heart was bitter.
Since the wedding night in the bridal chamber, she and Xie Jingyi still slept on the same big bed, but Xie Jingyi never touched her again. Of course, Yang Shuqing would not say anything about being so ashamed to speak out and embarrassing her.
"Jing Yi treats you well, so mother can rest assured." Mrs. An Yuanhou's heart fell to the ground, and she asked again, "Did Mrs. Dingguo make things difficult for you?"
Yang Shuqing's smile was restrained, her pretty face sank suddenly, and strong anger and hatred burst out in her eyes: "Mother, don't worry, Jiang Ningbao only dares to embarrass me when serving tea."
Mrs. Anyuan Hou saw her daughter's expression, she knew that her daughter was being made difficult when serving tea, and her eyes were full of distress: "Qing'er, you have been wronged."
"Mother, this little grievance is nothing." In the future, she will make Jiang Ningbao return thousands of times.
The most urgent task now is to clear up the misunderstanding with Xie Jingyi.
Yang Shuqing explained it many times, but Xie Jingyi still didn't believe it. Outside, he would still give her the respect she deserved, but when they were in the same room, he looked indifferent.
Yang Shuqing was anxious and angry, and even more chilled.
Mrs. An Yuanhou knew her daughter's methods, and she was very relieved. After Yang Shuqing had a conversation with her mother, she talked about other things, which was also the purpose of her return this time.
"Mother, the emperor ordered the talent show, and a few sluts from our mansion are among them. I'm afraid they will get out of control, so I plan to inject sterilization drugs on them all."
A trace of cruelty flashed in Yang Shuqing's eyes.
Emperor Qianyuan's decree of the draft caused a great shock. It is said that this draft is not only for the emperor to enrich the harem, but also for the marriage of the clan's children of the right age.
Yang Shuqing immediately thought of a few concubines of the right age, for fear that they would marry into the royal family, especially Yang Wanling, whom she hated to the bone, she married very well in her previous life.
In this life, having a mother who confuses the blood of the Marquis's family, Yang Wanling's reputation was damaged, and at the same time, she was rejected by Marquis Anyuan, cutting off her way to marry high.
Now the emperor ordered a draft... Yang Shuqing was afraid that Yang Wanling would turn around because of this, and wanted to cut her back in advance.
"Just do as you say, and mother doesn't want them to climb high." Mrs. An Yuanhou nodded in agreement, she would not let the little slut from a concubine threaten her daughter's status.
"Mother, we can do this..." Yang Shuqing whispered a few words into Madam Anyuanhou's ear, and Madam Anyuanhou nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Ningbao didn't know that Yang Shuqing took the opportunity of returning home to eradicate all threats. After learning that Yang Shuqing would stay at her mother's house for a night, she didn't say anything, but sent someone to tell Xie Jingyi.
After dinner, Jiang Ningbao and Duke Ding walked together under the moon.
Chunxi, Chunle and others followed from afar.
Jiang Ningbao and Dingguo Gong talked about Jiang Mingyao's letter, Dingguo Gong Xie Heng didn't expect it to come to this point, Mrs. Jiang still wanted to plot against Ningbao, her handsome face sank.
"Grandpa, Fifth Sister begged me to tell her about marriage, as long as she is of good character, even a poor family is fine, but my eldest brother and I have already established our own family, separated from the Jiang family, and broke up with the big house. Besides, Fifth Sister's marriage is decided by her parents, so it's not for me to interfere."
Jiang Ningbao frowned slightly, and a look of embarrassment flashed across her delicate face.
She didn't want to blame Jiang Mingyao for what Da Fang did to her parents, but she couldn't get over her feelings. If it wasn't for the fate of her parents, she would really be gone.
When I helped Jiang Shuyan back then, it was only for the sake of the child in her belly.
Jiang Ningbao has complicated feelings for Jiang Mingyao, and he doesn't want to see her being pushed into the fire pit by Mrs. Jiang.
But she has already broken off the relationship with the Jiang family.
That's why it's so difficult.
Ding Guogong turned his head to see his little wife's embarrassment, he was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "If Jiang Mingyao is willing to marry a general, I have many suitable candidates."
Jiang Ningbao was taken aback when he heard the words, and hesitated: "Master Guo, wouldn't it be good for us to intervene in Jiang Mingyao's marriage like this?"
Duke Ding reached out his hand to brush the hair beside her ear, understood his little wife's concerns, and said calmly: "I have my own way, and I won't let the Jiang family know."
When Jiang Ningbao heard that Duke Ding had an idea, he felt relieved, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, as if a bright spring flower had bloomed from the bottom of his heart.
"I'll write a letter later and let Xie Qi send it quietly tonight."
After talking about Jiang Ningbao, he didn't have the mind to take a walk under the moon, and took Ding Guogong back to the courtyard. After writing the letter, he called Xie Qi and asked him to give it to Jiang Mingyao.
Jiang Mingyao was about to sleep, when she heard a slight knock on the window, her heart moved, she walked to the window, but found that there was no one outside the window, only a letter was placed in front of the window sill, and a light flashed in her cold eyes, she quickly opened the letter I looked up.
After reading the letter, Jiang Mingyao's eyes flashed with determination.
Rather than being sent to be a concubine by her grandmother, it is better to marry a military general under Ding Guogong as his wife. She believes that the fourth sister will not cheat her. As long as the other party has a good character, how she will live in the future depends on herself It's up to me.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Mingyao wrote the reply letter.
Xie Qi in the dark left Jiang's house quietly after receiving the reply.
After Jiang Ningbao saw Jiang Mingyao's reply, she handed over the follow-up matters to Duke Ding. She believed that the Guild would choose a suitable husband for Jiang Mingyao.
The next day, Xie Jingyi went to Anyuanhou's Mansion to pick up someone, and Yang Shuqing returned home with a happy face, the corners of her brows and eyes couldn't hide her joy.
At noon, everyone went to Rongxi Hall to accompany Mrs. Xie for lunch.
Just after lunch, the red sandalwood Buddha bead bracelet on Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's wrist suddenly broke.
boom boom boom...
The red sandalwood beads were scattered all over the ground, seeming to have lost all their luster, and then a frightening breath came over the surface.
The maidservants and wives of Rongxi Hall suddenly turned pale, and they all covered their hearts.
Duke Ding's face changed, and he moved away from Mrs. Xie in an instant.
Xie Jingyi stood in front of Mrs. Xie the first time the Buddhist beads landed.
Yang Shuqing reacted extremely quickly, and immediately moved away from Ding Guogong. She looked at the scattered Buddhist beads on the ground in shock, her eyes were full of fear and fear, this... What the hell is going on
"Mother, are you all right?"
Jiang Ningbao quickly supported Mrs. Xie to sit on the openwork wooden chair, and asked worriedly.
I secretly rejoiced that Mrs. Xie was in good health after drinking the medicinal wine, otherwise the old lady would have been lying on the bed for a month due to the sudden eruption of evil spirits from the Duke.
Mrs. Xie glanced at Jiang Ningbao and her adoptive grandson who were full of concern, and shook her head: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I didn't expect this day to come."
