Seeing that Old Madam Zhuang couldn't stop Jiang Changning, Wu interrupted and said, "If you really care about your feelings, then choose two from Juxiang and the other five and let them marry into the palace with you to serve the prince."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Zhuang knew that something bad was going to happen. She had been young once, and she knew that no woman would want her man to have other women around him.
The reason why she took it slow and didn't bring it out clearly was because she was afraid of causing Jiang Changning's disgust. However, she didn't expect Wu to reveal it in one word. She wanted to smooth things over and called out, "Ms. Ning..."
Jiang Changning interrupted her calmly and asked, "Is this the affection the old lady wants me to take into consideration?"
"Ning girl, your great aunt is doing this for your own good." Old Mrs. Zhuang made up her mind in an instant. If this were to happen, Jiang Changning would just move out.
Jiang Changning said with a cold face: "I cannot accept the old lady's kindness. The girl from the Zhuang family should stay in the mansion and find another marriage."
Chen Yi was assigned to Prince Jin by the palace. She couldn't stop it, nor would she try to stop it.
But she couldn't take the initiative to send a woman to King Jin.
Hearing Jiang Changning's refusal, Wu looked at Old Madam Zhuang and said, "Ning girl, you are young and arrogant. You think that with the imperial decree of marriage, everything will be worry-free. You are wrong."
"How did I do something wrong?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.
"Ning girl, the prince has many beautiful girls around him, and you can't handle it all by yourself. You have to find some reliable helpers." Wu said earnestly.
Before Jiang Changning could speak, the sturdy man standing behind Zhou Shouxin said in a deep voice, "Madam, please do not worry about the people serving our prince."
When these words were spoken, not only Wu was shocked, but Jiang Changning was also shocked. Could this person be someone close to Prince Jin
"Who is this?" asked Mrs. Zhuang.
The sturdy man smiled and said, "I am the one who serves the prince. In this world, there are more people with eyes than blind people. No one dares to offend Miss Jiang and then offend the Prince Jin's Mansion."
Perhaps out of fear of Prince Jin's power, Mrs. Zhuang and Mrs. Wu stopped trying to stop them. Jiang Changning asked Fu Cui to lead people to move things into the yard.
Jiang Changning looked at the burly man, "I wonder how I should address you, sir?"
The strong man saluted and said, "Miss, you are too polite. I work in the palace. Miss, call me Chunlai."
Jiang Changning was stunned for a moment. This name really didn't suit him. He tried to hold it in, but couldn't help asking, "Is there another person named Qiu Qu?"
Chun Lai smiled, "Yes, there is one called Qiu Qu, and there are Xia Shu and Dong Han, all of which were given by the prince."
Jiang Changning pursed his lips and tried not to laugh. It was hard to describe the way the Prince of Jin named him!
Seeing Jiang Changning about to leave with the Zhou brothers, Mrs. Zhuang called out, "Little Ning."
Jiang Changning stopped and turned around, kneeling and bowing, "Thank you, great aunt, for taking care of me for the past six years."
After saying that, Jiang Changning took Shu Fei, Fu Cui and followed the Zhou brothers to the second gate without any reluctance.
Xiulan and Fangju led people to Baogeyuan to move things.
When Jiang Changning arrived at the second gate and was about to get on the carriage, she heard someone calling out, "Sister Ning."
"Sister Ning."
Jiang Changning turned around and saw Zhuang Qingyu and Zhuang Qingchan. He smiled and said, "Second sister, fourth sister."
"Sister Ning, take care." Zhuang Qingyu was not a talkative person, so she just said two simple words.
Zhuang Qingchan said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Ning, even if you move out, don't forget about us."
"I won't forget it." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
The three were saying goodbye when Zhuang Jike came in from outside and asked, "Sister Ning, where are you going?"
"Moving." Jiang Changning said coldly.
"You're living well here, why are you moving? Where are you moving to?" Zhuang Jike asked.
Jiang Changning pretended not to hear and said to the Zhuang sisters, "You can come and play with me when you are free. I'm leaving first."
"Sister Ning, why are you ignoring me?" Zhuang Jike reached out to grab Jiang Changning.
"Master Ke Si." Zhou Shouxin stopped his hand in time.
"The girl's uncle." Zhou Shouxin replied.
"A servant." Zhuang Jike frowned, his eyes full of disdain, "Where are you taking Sister Ning?"
"In compliance with the master's last will, I am taking the young lady back to the Jiang family." Zhou Shouxin said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Zhuang Jike blurted out, "All the Jiang family members are dead, why go back to the Jiang family?"
Jiang Changning, who was stepping on a wooden stool to get on the carriage, suddenly turned around and scolded him harshly: "Zhuang Jike, I thought you were just outspoken, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. If an uneducated person like you can pass the imperial examination and become an official, it will be a shame for the court."
"Who said I want to take the imperial examination and become an official? I don't want to be a parasite." Zhuang Jike raised his head at a 45-degree angle and said proudly.
Chunlai sneered, "Is your father also a parasite?"
Zhuang Jike was not sure what to say, and he had no way to respond. After a moment of silence, Zhuang Jike said, "What do you servants know?"
He flicked his sleeves and walked quickly towards the door.
Zhuang Qingyu and Zhuang Qingchan turned their heads away, thinking that their brother was too embarrassing.
Jiang Changning got into the carriage, his complexion gradually improved, and he could finally leave the banker.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at Nanmen Street and stopped outside the house.
"Miss, we're here." Zhou Chengxin didn't let the carriage go directly into the gate because he wanted Jiang Changning to see the plaque on the gate.
Jiang Changning got off the carriage, looked up and saw the words "Jiang's House" written on the plaque, and smiled and said, "It's my father's handwriting."
"I got it from Guizhi Lane." Zhou Chengxin said with a smile.
"Brother Chengxin is thoughtful. Thank you very much." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
"Of course, come in, girl." Zhou Chengxin walked forward and knocked on the door.
Before the door opened, someone called out, "Miss Jiang."
Zhou Chengxin, Zhou Shouxin and others looked over and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Jiang Changning was a little surprised. He didn't expect that even though the King of Jin had sent his men, he would still show up here. When he saw him coming over, he knelt down and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Miss Jiang, there's no need to be so polite." Prince Jin put away the fan in his hand and extended his hand to support him. "I know you've moved into a new house, so I came to congratulate you."
"Your Highness is too polite." Jiang Changning took a small step back.
"This is my gift." King Jin looked at the fresh and refined girl in front of him with a bright smile.
Jiang Changning saw four servants behind the Prince of Jin carrying two pots of evergreens that were half the height of a person, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Would you like to invite me in and have a seat?" King Jin asked with a smile.
Jiang Changning bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please."
The two were an engaged couple and as long as they did not see each other for seven days before the wedding, it would not be considered impolite for them to be together in public.
After entering the house, Jiang Changning thought for a moment and said to Prince Jin, "Your Majesty, please excuse me for a moment."
King Jin was a little surprised, but still smiled and said, "Okay."
The two entered the hall first, and Jiang Changning said directly: "Your Majesty, I am just an orphan girl, I can't bear such love from you."
He sent servants to the banker to support her and came in person to congratulate her, which made her flattered.
