The old woman restrained herself a lot. When she came, the mistress specifically told her not to cause trouble in Zhoujia Village. Her tone was much better. "Are you willing to let the second young lady marry into the countryside?"
Dong Yiyi said coldly, "I don't want to waste my time talking to you. Mu Lan is my daughter, and only I, as her mother, can decide where to stay in her dormitory. Go back and tell your master that selling your sister for wealth is a dead end."
The old woman's face froze. She had to resort to force. The second young lady must be taken away.
Su Xuan had been standing outside the door for a while. Jiang Sheng couldn't follow his sister-in-law, so he could only wait in the distance with Chang Zhi.
Mu Lan stood behind her brother with her eyes dropping. If she hadn't seen something wrong and ran out through the back door to report it, she might have been caught and put on the carriage by now.
Su Xuan lazily asked, "Where did this crazy woman come from to snatch Mr. Jiang's daughter?"
After hearing this, the old woman turned her head with an unpleasant expression, but seeing the woman's clothes and the scene, she dared not utter a single curse word, "I am here to arrange the engagement of my second sister at the order of my wife."
The maid next to Su Xuan went up and slapped her twice, "You are not polite when you see the county lady. You have no manners."
The old woman was stunned, and then she heard the county lady was dizzy. Her master was a fifth-rank official, and thinking of the scene, she trembled and saluted, "This old servant greets the county lady."
No one dared to lie about her status as a county lord.
Su Xuan sneered, "Your wife must be Miss Jiang, right? No, it should be the conscienceless Miss Jiang. Her own father doesn't care about her, and now she's using her sister to exchange for benefits. She's really heartless."
The old woman trembled and dared not refute, because it was the truth. The master wanted to be promoted, so the mistress had set her sights on the second young lady.
Su Xuan lowered her head, "This is Zhoujia Village, not everyone can come here and act wildly. A stepsister doesn't have the power to decide the marriage of her younger sister? Go back and tell your master that Jiang Mulan's marriage is not her business? Get lost."
How dare the old woman act wild? She already remembered who the county lady was. The fourth son of Lord Zhou married the county lady. She never thought that the second young lady could be protected by the Zhou family? "Yes? Yes, old slave, get out, get out immediately."
At the Zhou family, Xue Han and Rong Chuan stayed behind last night, and Zhu Lan and her daughter were walking in the garden? The maid from the Ning Marquis's mansion ran in in a panic? "The Duke's wife vomited blood and fainted."
Xue Han was extremely anxious. "Why did he faint?"
The girl shook her head. "I don't know either. The Marquis asked me to go to the Duke's Mansion to look for you."
Zhulan is worried about her daughter? "Mom will take you there."
Xue Han was thinking about her grandmother. Was the old lady really good to her? Did she treat her like a granddaughter before she got married? She loved her even more after she got married. "Mom, you don't have to send me off. I can go by myself."
Zhulan said cautiously, "No, I'm worried about you being like this."
Xue Han was anxious and remembered that she was pregnant, so she didn't dare to walk with big steps, "Yeah."
The carriage arrived at the Ningguo Mansion, and Rongchuan's carriage also arrived. When Zhulan saw Rongchuan, she was completely convinced that the Duke's wife really fainted, and it was not a conspiracy against Xuehan. "Rongchuan, Xuehan is pregnant, you should pay more attention to her. Mother has handed her over to you. If there is any news, please send a message home."
Rongchuan supported his wife, thanking her for bringing her here, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Xuehan."
Zhulan watched her daughter and Rongchuan enter the Duke's Mansion before letting the driver go home. Only then did she wonder why the Duke's wife suddenly fainted.
In Zhoujia Village, Su Xuan and Chang Zhi have already arrived home. Chang Zhi was not able to ask because there were so many people around, but now that they were in the family, he asked, "Brother-in-law, are you and my eldest sister really going to marry Mu Lan to Jiang Du?"
Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I've asked you for help, how could it be false? Your sister and I have already communicated through letters. The two children of the Jiang family are both good, and even if they don't settle down, these two children have grown up under my watch. I will help if I can."
Changzhi stared, "Two children? Close relatives?"
Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, I hadn't thought of saying it. Your sister sent a letter to the Jiang family to convey her intention. After today's commotion, it's better to settle the marriage."
Chang Zhi paused for a moment, "I'm not saying Jiang Muchen is not good, I just think my niece is better, and Miu Miu should choose a better husband's family."
Jiang Sheng waved his hand, "I am a man without ability and ambition. Your niece is not suitable for marrying up. The Jiang family is good."
Chang Zhi wanted to say something, but Su Xuan coughed and then said to her brother-in-law, "I need to write to my elder sister about today's matter. Since we want to get engaged soon, we need to discuss it with her."
Jiang Sheng was a little anxious to go back and write a letter, "Okay, I'll go back first."
Su Xuan waited until her brother-in-law left before she said, "You are stupid. My eldest sister's letter shows that my parents agreed."
Changzhi then realized that his elder sister must have asked his parents, "My wife is smart."
Dong Yiyi was no longer angry, but felt relieved. "With the help of the Zhou family today, there is no need to guess about Mu Lan's marriage. The Jiang family does intend to marry."
Jiang Ming was a little depressed. He favored his ex-wife's daughter. As a father, he protected the motherless child. As a result, he was really sad. "Yeah."
Dong Yiyi snorted. She didn't care how upset Jiang Ming felt.
In the capital, at the Ningguo Mansion, Xue Han was guarding by the bed, carefully wiping her grandmother's face. Her grandmother had fainted suddenly, and her grandfather had called the doctor out, but she didn't know what was going on.
Song said, "Let me do it. You sit down and rest for a while while you are pregnant."
Xue Han shook her head, "Sister-in-law, I'm not tired."
She felt very upset. She had just been walking in the garden with her grandmother the day before. Her grandmother was in good spirits and even suggested that they go fishing together next time. She was obviously fine, so how could she suddenly faint
At this time, there was a crying sound outside the house. Xue Han frowned, then listened carefully and her face turned ugly.
Song and Yu also looked unhappy. Their mother-in-law kept crying and shouting as if her grandmother was dying.
Song lowered her head with sarcasm in her eyes. Grandma is still alive. Grandpa and father-in-law will definitely be angry with this funeral crying. They are cursing grandma!
Yu was nervous. After her mother-in-law lost her power as housekeeper, she had been very careful in the Duke's Mansion. She only hoped that her mother-in-law would be an honest man and become the Duke's wife. But not long after, she was committing suicide again. Yu felt cold in her heart. She might not be able to rely on her mother-in-law anymore.
There were curses coming from outside the house, and the crying stopped. Then there were voices shouting for justice, but they soon died down.
The Duke's wife opened her eyes with a frown. Xue Han didn't wait to be happy, but saw her grandmother spit out a mouthful of blood. Xue Han was startled and her voice changed. "Rongchuan, Rongchuan, grandma spit out blood."
The door was thrown open and everyone ran in.
The doctor came over quickly, and Xue Han quickly stepped away. Her body was covered in blood, and she stared at the bed, her heart in her throat.
Rong Chuan hurried over to support his wife, "It's okay, it's okay, grandma will be fine."
