Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 252: Invitation

Chapter 252: Invitation

Nanny Jiang has been with Jiang Xinkui for a long time and has developed a proud temper.

I begged her to make Ceylon incense, but she didn't even show the attitude of asking for help.

He even used the Wen family to threaten her.

Do you really think she is afraid of the Wen family?

Wen Yan laughed in her heart but didn't show it on her face.

She staggered back a few steps, and said with a look of sorrow, "It seems... my relationship with the Wen family will end here.

From now on I won’t have a mother’s home anymore, my heart aches so much, sob…”

After Wen Yan finished speaking, she covered her face and ran away.

Nanny Jiang couldn't stop her even if she wanted to, and could only roar helplessly: "Wen Yan, stop!

If you dare to leave today, the master and the mistress will never recognize you again.

With this relationship, you at least have the title of the Wen family's adopted daughter.

Otherwise, you will become a complete country girl, and there will be no place for you in the capital!"

Wen Yan paused and stopped running.

Nanny Jiang smiled complacently.

Wen Yan is trying to figure out what is going on.

In the end, you still have to listen to your orders obediently.

However, Wen Yan is a very stubborn person and is very concerned about his reputation.

If you push her too far, she will refuse to make the perfume and will suffer the consequences when she returns.

It seems that she can only suffer some grievances, endure the grievances, coax her into making the spices, and then go to the lady to complain about her.

The lady will surely be furious, and I can then deal with her openly.

Thinking of this, Nanny Jiang smiled gently, walked forward, took Wen Yan's hand, and kissed her warmly, as if there had never been any rift between them, and advised her to make the perfume.

She said a lot of things, which could be summed up in one sentence: Madam will be happy.

Wen Yan laughed inwardly.

She had already paid for the sin of raising her child in her previous life.

Who cares whether Jiang Xinkui is happy or not in this life?

Wen Yan looked at Madam Jiang and asked, "Madam, could you bring the ingredients for making incense?"

Nanny Jiang: "Uh..."

"Madam, you don't want me to buy these materials!

A large amount of ambergris is used in this fragrance.

Aunt Jiang should know the price of ambergris!

One ounce of ambergris is worth ten ounces of gold.

Not to mention there are many other precious spices.

I am a poor village woman who can't even afford a full meal, so I don't have the money to prepare these spices.

Don't say I can't match it. Even if I could, it's still hard for a good cook to cook without rice!"

The way he said this sounded as if Jiang Xinkui was taking advantage of a village woman.

Nanny Jiang was extremely angry, but she still had to endure her temper and said, "You have misunderstood Madam.

It will take time to prepare the spices, so please prepare them first and they will be delivered later."

Nanny Jiang had her eyes on the top of her head. She asked her so humbly to match the incense, which showed that Concubine Lan liked it very much.

Wen Ruyue became more and more anxious.

The more Wen Yan talks, the less likely she will agree.

"Prepare? Prepare what? I told you, I can't make incense right now. You should find someone else and don't waste your time on me."

"Pei'er, please see the guest off." Wen Yan's face darkened, and after saying that, she returned to her east wing.

Pei'er was not polite and shouted into the air: "Uncle Kang!"

In the blink of an eye, Uncle Kang and his three bodyguards came running over.

He approached Nanny Jiang with a fierce look in his eyes.

When Nanny Jiang saw the three burly men, she was afraid that they would touch her, so she fled out of the Ying family yard.

She climbed onto the carriage and urged the driver: "Hurry up, hurry up."

The driver didn't understand what was going on, but he still obeyed and whipped his whip, and the carriage drove away immediately.

Only when the carriage drove onto the official road did Nanny Jiang breathe a sigh of relief.

She lifted the curtain and pooh-poohed in the direction of Songshan Village: "You little bitch, you dare to humiliate me like this? Sooner or later, you will regret it."

A galloping horse flashed past Nanny Jiang, walked onto the path, and headed towards Songshan Village.

Nanny Jiang didn't think much about it. She lowered the curtain angrily and headed towards the capital.

After Aunt Liu accompanied someone to Huaying Town to learn a skill, cooking at home fell on Aunt Li alone.

Pei'er and Kang Shu had nothing else to do, so they followed suit to help.

Just as Pei'er finished washing the cucumbers, there was another knock on the door.

Pei'er thought it was Nanny Jiang who had returned, and angrily went to open the door: "Didn't my young lady say she doesn't know how to make perfume...Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

It wasn't Nanny Jiang, but a strange man.

He was dressed in brocade, had a fair face and no beard, and had a rather friendly expression.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Wen Yan's home?"

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Pei'er also politely asked: "What can I do for you?"

"You are here to deliver something for the master. Please help pass the message on, young lady."

"Wait a minute." Pearl didn't let him in, but she didn't close the door either.

When he went to the east wing, he winked at Uncle Kang and asked him to keep an eye on the man outside the door.

Uncle Kang nodded at her to show that he understood.

Wen Yan was very surprised when she heard that someone was sending something.

After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Wen Yan was shocked: "Butler Pei! Why are you here?"

"Miss Wen." The man bowed respectfully to Wen Yan and then took out a gold-embossed invitation from his bosom: "Miss Wen, my master will hold a lotus viewing banquet in ten days. Please be sure to attend then."

Wen Yan took the invitation with both hands and said sincerely, "Please ask Chief Steward Pei to tell Concubine Gong that Wen Yan will definitely attend on time."

Manager Pei nodded with a smile and left.

When the sound of horse hooves could no longer be heard, Pei'er asked curiously, "Miss, is the Concubine Gong you mentioned the same group we met on the day we entered the city? How did you recognize her?"

Wen Yan nodded: "It's her. She likes my embroidery, and we got to know each other after a few visits."

Wutong Academy.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Ying Zhilin rushed out of the classroom like an arrow.

The classmate chased out and said, "Brother Ying, I have a question I want to ask you."

Ying Zhilin waved his hand: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm going home."

Classmate: "If I don't figure out the problem today, I won't be able to sleep at night..."

Before he could finish his words, Ying Zhilin had disappeared.

Classmate: "No... What happened to Ying Zhilin today? Did your family find a gold mine?"

"Who says he isn't? He's been grinning like a fool from time to time today. It's really creepy sitting next to him."

"It seems his wife is back..."

The classmates winked at each other and uttered a knowing "Oh!"

Unexpectedly, Ying Zhilin is actually a wife slave!

Ying Zhilin rushed home.

At the same time, Nanny Jiang also returned to the Wen Mansion.

Wen Ruyue is waiting for the result and has not returned to the Marquis' Mansion yet.

Nanny Jiang didn't dare to admit that she was the one who messed things up.

He immediately exaggerated the story.

After hearing this, Jiang Xinkui was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up: "How can this be!

Is Wen Yan going to rebel against the heavens?"

Wen Ruyue wiped her eyes and sobbed, "My sister must be holding a grudge against me for snatching her marriage away.

That’s why he refused to help me.”

"What about her marriage? The Marquis of Jinping originally chose the Wen family because of their wealth.

The one the prince wants to marry is naturally the real daughter of the Wen family.

We raised her to this age, and we didn't let her repay the favor, so what right does she have to hate us? "

Wen Yan's rebelliousness had only been out of Jiang Xinkui's control for four or five months after she got married.

Jiang Xinkui was very dissatisfied with this.

"The spices presented to Concubine Lan are the most important. Don't worry, Ruyue. I will go there in person tomorrow. I don't believe that little brat Wen Yan would dare to disobey me in public."
