Chapter 57

Really shameless

Turn your head.

Jiang Zhaoying suppressed her murderous intent. If she didn't want to wipe out the Song family and the people behind them, she would have wanted to kill these disgusting things right now.

"Are you really shameless?"

Mrs. Song was furious when she heard this, while Song Chengyu's face was full of embarrassment.

Song Qinghuan rushed to Jiang Zhaoying angrily and embarrassedly, grabbed her gorgeous clothes, and shouted in grievance.

"I don't have any decent jewelry or clothes, but you are more luxurious than the ladies in the palace. Sister-in-law, how did you do that? I don't care. You have to give us 50,000 taels of silver today. I have a lot of things to buy!"

"Sister-in-law."

Song Mingji's expression also turned cold, but he still patiently tried to persuade Jiang Zhaoying.

"As a family, why should we care so much? What's yours is ours. Isn't that natural? We didn't ask you to give us one million or ten million. It's just tens of thousands. It's only right to use it to honor your mother."

Really.

It was so disgusting that Jiang Zhaoying could hardly believe it, so she turned around, bent over and started to vomit.

"What are you doing?"

Mrs. Song screamed as if someone had caught her.

"You didn't keep a man outside, and now that you're pregnant, you want to rely on us, right?"

Jiang Zhaoying raised her long eyelashes, took the handkerchief handed to her by Shu Yun, gently wiped her red lips, and looked at Mrs. Song with a smile.

"Do you think everyone is like you?"

Mrs. Song's body stiffened, and she looked at Jiang Zhaoying fiercely, her face turning pale. She tightly grasped the handkerchief, trying to see something from Jiang Zhaoying's face, but after looking at it, she felt that Jiang Zhaoying was just talking casually.

Song Chengyu was already feeling a little embarrassed by Jiang Zhaoying's stare, and his eyes darkened when he heard her words. It was obviously a very simple matter, but she had to make excuses and put him in a difficult position. He immediately shouted impatiently with a cold face.

"Don't tell me you don't have money. When you returned to my parents' home, you gave each of them 10,000 taels, which was very generous. I didn't even see you prepare any gifts for your younger brothers and sisters. I'll let you off with 50,000 taels each."

He was really pissed off.

He actually spent 10,000 taels of silver. He watched with his own eyes as Jiang Zhaoying casually raised her hand and gave away nearly 200,000 taels of silver notes.

What's even more shameful is that she even sent away the servants around her!

"Sister-in-law."

Song Qinghuan raised his face, very arrogant.

"Once you enter our house, you should please us and obey us. You have to do it today, or you won't be able to leave this door!"

This is the Song Mansion. Those who block the door are their confidants and are very tight-lipped. Today they must force Jiang Zhaoying to take out the money. Not even 50,000 will do. One hundred thousand per person is enough.

She has already made a boast that as soon as the new sister-in-law comes home, she will definitely wear gold and silver and live a glorious life.

"Bang……"

There was a noise at the door, and then someone could be heard talking quietly.

"Let's go!"

Mrs. Song was so frightened that she stood up, pushed away the people and ran out. When she saw several dignified and elegant figures in the yard, her heart broke.

What's going on?

She turned and glared at Song Chengyu. Song Chengyu sensed something was wrong and also ran out in a hurry.

My heart sank.

They didn't have any guests today, so why were there several ladies standing in the yard?

One of them was the newly promoted Censor, Mrs. Qian.

One of them is Mrs. Mei from the Duke's Mansion, who is the best matchmaker in the noble circle.

Another one is the eldest daughter-in-law of the highly respected Grand Tutor Sun, Mrs. Sun, who comes from a prominent family.

These three ladies are very important in the noble circle.

Censor Qian was well-known for his nagging. He would report someone without any regard for the consequences and even dared to shout at the Emperor in the court, so Madam Qian was also very good at talking.

With the matchmaking of Mrs. Chen, no two parties are dissatisfied, and no couple is not loving and happy. Mrs. Song is planning to ask Mrs. Mei to be the matchmaker.

And the Taifu Mansion holds the hands of students all over the world. I heard that the Taifu Mansion is the most peaceful and clean. If you make friends with them, you will be respected a lot.

In short.

The people who appeared before her were all those that Mrs. Song wanted to make close friends with and ask for help.

If they saw and heard it, how would this marriage go on?

If they didn't invite them themselves, then it was that bitch Jiang Zhaoying who invited them!

For a while.

The atmosphere became tense, and everyone became tense.

"Get out of here quickly."

Song Mingji and Song Qinghuan were also a little panicked. They hurriedly pushed aside the servants and ran out of the dining hall. They stood side by side and greeted the three ladies obediently.

"Meet Madam Mei, Madam Tang, and Madam Sun."

After the ceremony.

Song Qinghuan lowered his eyes, with a faint smile on his face, and leaned towards Madam Song with a blushing face, looking well-behaved and shy.

Song Mingji naturally behaved very appropriately.

Song Chengyu walked up to Jiang Zhaoying and grabbed her wrist, with fire in her eyes. Jiang Zhaoying broke free with a cold face, walked out and greeted the ladies.

"I'm really sorry, but my mother said she wanted to arrange a marriage for Mingji and Qinghuan, so I took the liberty of inviting you ladies to come and have a seat."

Madam Sun stepped forward and helped Jiang Zhaoying up, smiled at her, and then glanced at the Song family indifferently.

"I think the servants led us the wrong way and brought us here."

Then I happened to see that ugly scene again.

It seems so.

This girl did it on purpose.

Among all the noble families in this world, there is no family that doesn’t have some dirty deeds. Some are simply appalling, but as long as outsiders cannot see them, they can maintain their superficial elegance.

I think it was because the Song family had pushed Zhaoying into a corner, so she took the initiative to tear off the Song family's face.

Jiang Zhaoying said to the ladies with a smile.

"It's my fault. If you ladies don't blame me, please come and sit in my courtyard."

"Let's not go to my sister-in-law's courtyard. Let's go to my mother's courtyard. My mother should entertain us."

Song Qinghuan knew the status of these ladies. If he could win their favor, the marriage would be 70% successful.

She had to behave well so that the ladies could see her good qualities.

Mrs. Song was very anxious when she saw that she was not well behaved, and she hurried forward and smiled warmly.

"Zhaoying wanted to give us a surprise. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Please come in, Master."

A simple sentence resolved Jiang Zhaoying's little action, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.

When you come forward.

Mrs. Song took the opportunity to pinch Song Qinghuan hard. At this time, the more anxious she was to show off, the more counterproductive it would be.

Song Qinghuan also knew that he shouldn't be unruly. When he realized what was happening, his face turned pale for a moment.

"Miss."

Shu Yu appeared at the second door, greeted the ladies politely, then lowered his eyes and said respectfully.

"The Yunshan tea is ready. Please move over, ladies."

Yunliu Zhoushan tea?

The ladies' eyes lit up as they listened. This was a very rare and expensive tea. After going through all the production processes every year, only about three or four kilograms of the finished product could be used.

I heard.

If you drink a sip of this Yunshan tea, your body will smell fragrant for ten days.

That's right.

Jiang Zhaoying's mother is a businesswoman and has everything she wants.

Originally, the ladies were planning to leave, but when they saw that Shu Yun was very well-behaved, and that Jiang Zhaoying was naturally a well-behaved person as well, and they had Yunshan tea to drink, they all became interested.

"Is it really Yunshan tea?"

Even a family as well-off as the Sun family had only seen this kind of tea in books. Imperial Tutor Sun had drunk it at the emperor's place, and when he came back he found it really fragrant and elegant. He also praised it highly, saying that it tasted excellent.

"Aunts, just give it a try and you will know."

"Then go and try it."

The ladies knew that the Song family was not well behaved, so they just said a few polite words and then walked towards Jiang Zhaoying's yard together.

Jiang Zhaoying was smiling, and when she left the yard, she turned back to look at Mrs. Song on purpose.

…

When they stepped into Kongliu Cottage, the three ladies were slightly startled.

The Prince's wife's yard is really too simple. There is not even a single precious flower or plant.

Step into the main hall.

But he was surprised to see Madam Chen from the Hanlin Academy and Madam Tang from the Minister of War there too.

They were the two relatives chosen by Mrs. Song for Song Mingji and Song Qinghuan.

Seeing the other ladies coming in, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Tang hurried forward to greet them. They greeted each other and then sat down in a lively manner.

"Ying'er, why do you live in a courtyard like this? Are these added by the Song family, or are they your dowry?"

Five years ago.

Jiang Zhaoying saved Madam Sun's daughter Sun Ziyuan once, and they played together later. They had a good relationship and were close, so she spoke in a more casual manner.

Jiang Zhaoying smiled embarrassedly, Shu Yu bowed and said softly.

"To answer the ladies, the Madam burned down Moyu Courtyard. Everything in here was my young lady's dowry. They... they don't like my young lady at all, but they like my young lady's money very much."

The ladies didn't know what to say for a moment, but Jiang Zhaoying smiled faintly and presented the steaming hot Yunshan tea to them.

Immediately following.

Shu Yu brought over three gifts.

"Aunt Sun, I know Sister Ziyuan is getting married, so I specially left some Yunshan tea leaves and some boxes for her. I hope you don't mind."

Yunshan tea can make the body emit a light and elegant fragrance, which will definitely add some artistic conception to the bridal chamber.

Mrs. Sun didn't look at the gifts, but frowned and asked Jiang Zhaoying.

"You're not going to give it to her yourself?"

Not only did Jiang Zhaoying and Ziyuan have a good relationship, but her father-in-law, Grand Tutor Sun, for some reason admired Zhaoying very much. When he had nothing to do, he would give her small lessons and teach her everything he had learned.

They were puzzled by this matter, but they also treated Zhaoying as their own family.

Jiang Zhaoying lowered her eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Of course I want to go, and I know Sister Ziyuan won't mind my current situation, but it's really not appropriate for me to go right now, I'm afraid it's unlucky."

Everyone knows what this means.

Mrs. Mei took a sip of the tea and found it indeed refreshing and slightly sweet. She sighed and then spoke.

"At that time, I went to Madam Jiang and wanted to be your matchmaker, but Madam Jiang didn't agree."

These words startled the other ladies, and then their expressions began to change.

Jiang Zhaoying showed helplessness in her eyes.

"Aunt and Mrs. Song are good sisters."

Indeed.

Everyone knows what this means.

It is indeed more interesting to hear the people involved talk about this kind of thing, but it's a pity that Jiang Zhaoying has suffered so much.

"If that's the case, what about Zhiyu's marriage?"

Madam Sun became worried for a moment. Jiang Zhiyu was not a child anymore and it was time for him to get married, but there was no movement from the other side.

"I will try my best to arrange my brother's marriage."

The image of Princess Tingyun flashed through Jiang Zhaoying's mind. If possible, this marriage would be a good one. From now on, Princess Tingyun would have a home and someone who loves her.

"As long as you have an idea."

Seeing her like this, Madam Sun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Several ladies also saw their gifts, which were expensive and suitable. For a moment, they all smiled and felt distressed and regretful for Jiang Zhaoying.

"That's right."

Mrs. May asked her.

"Which family does your mother-in-law want to see?"

Jiang Zhaoying looked at Madam Chen from the Hanlin Academy and Madam Tang from the Ministry of War.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Tang were so angry that they slammed the teacups in their hands on the table. Their faces suddenly turned ugly. Mrs. Tang asked her.

"Are you interested in my second child?"

Mrs. Tang gave birth to three sons. The eldest son was definitely not suitable, and the third son was too young, so he could only be the second son.

"It's the eldest master."

This made Mrs. Tang laugh out of anger.

Jiang Zhaoying also wanted to laugh. In her previous life, she had no idea how much effort and hard work she had put in behind the scenes in order to get Song Qinghuan to marry Young Master Tang.

"It's just a fool's dream."

After saying this, Mrs. Tang grabbed Jiang Zhaoying's hand with a frightened look on her face.

"Zhaoying, it's a good thing you invited us to have tea today. I don't agree with this."

"But aunt, there is still Empress Song in the palace. She will be released from confinement sooner or later."

Jiang Zhaoying reminded them silently, and Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Chen's hair stood on end. Mrs. Chen thought about it and gritted her teeth.

"I have to go back and find a good family for my daughter."

"I have to go back and find a good family for my eldest son."

Jiang Zhaoying glanced at Mrs. Chen and then at Mrs. Tang.

Finally it fell on Mrs. May.

Mrs. Mei clapped her hands, her eyes clear and she smiled.

"You are stupid, isn't this ready-made?"

She pointed at Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Tang.

"You give birth to a daughter, you give birth to a son, and I act as a matchmaker. Isn't that enough?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and we all laughed.

then.

The two of them came together and asked each other about it, then clapped their hands and went back to work immediately. If it was a good match, then it would be considered the horoscope.

Why.

Speaking of fortune telling.

The five ladies all looked at Jiang Zhaoying.

"Jiang Jianzheng should agree, right?"

Mrs. Mei asked her, and Jiang Zhaoying smiled and nodded.

"Father will certainly agree."

Shu Yu and Shu Yun blinked their eyes, smiled and said nothing. If the ladies knew that the young lady in front of them was the real master, they would probably be shocked.

but.

It is indeed not appropriate for the young lady to step forward and speak at this moment. Firstly, it has not been confirmed, and secondly, no one will believe it, so she has to use the name of Jiang Jianzheng.

"Why do I feel like we have everything right, right time, right place, and right people?"

Mrs. Sun spoke with a smile and glanced at Jiang Zhaoying again. She immediately admired Jiang Zhaoying in her heart.

No wonder Jiang Zhaoying wrote to her and asked her to invite these ladies. This was her idea in mind. It seemed that she was deliberately preventing the Song family from completing these two marriages.

Empress Song was under house arrest, and it was a very good time.

Then.

She raised an eyebrow.

"Don't be too slow about this matter, hurry up and make the appointment. Although this kind of thing requires both your consent, it will still be troublesome if the person in the palace lifts the ban."

Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Chen nodded one after another. The more they talked, the happier and more satisfied they became.

I decided to go back home immediately to discuss this matter first. If possible, I would arrange a meeting between the two children tomorrow. If still possible, I would exchange the engagement letter the day after tomorrow! !
